So I thought I was completely out this month after still not getting af after taking bcp for just a month. We'll yesterday evening I am sure I felt ov pain. I always get it when I ov on the right side and it felt just like that and happened on the day I would have expected it too. So I attacked the mister last night lol. Granted it's still only a slim chance as we won't be able to bd again until this evening but, hey, it's still a chance

Hello everyone!

I am on cycle day 17 today during a pretty weird cycle after 9 days of spotting and bleeding. Which after I finished I felt just like I was due on again thanks to bloating, cramps and feeling sick.

I have mild PCOS and got told to lose weight and have regular sex by my dr so this is what I am trying! He told me because my periods are not exactly irregular (because I have actual periods) that I can keep having sex right up to my period for best results...

So long story short I am hoping this cycle is the one and good luck to everyone here in this thread!

Hi! Have you been testing? I had a weird period this month too, a total of 11 days of bleeding! So annoying. Best wishes for you!!!!

Hello! I curiously took a test today but it was a bfn instantly it was just a shitty period. But today cycle day 18 and still thinking positive! Have constantly felt wet in my underwear since I finished, which made me think I was gonna come on again! Also for the past few days have felt in the mood to bd which I have read can be a sign that your body is trying to tell you something.." Let's make babies!"

Yes it can get so annoying but baby dust all round to think on the positive!!!!

Thanks girl! Well the wetness is a great sign! Take 2 tests per day. That will ensure you catch it if you have short surges!!! And don't worry about Ovulating late...I O anywhere from CD19-24.

I hope it is a sign! I don't check when I ovulate as dr told me not to stress with that but to just have sex. Too early to test really am cycle day 19 today and feel AWFUL! This whole cycle I have felt horrible but today is the worst! Feel sick to my stomach, bloated like a whale and got a migraine to boot! Yes my cycles like yours are different every month so I have no real idea on O day I am useless at this lol! A few of my friends are pregnant right now without even trying and I am like "What is the secret?!" I need sleep and hope I feel better in the morning!!

I hate it when they tell you not to stress about it! It's all I can think about!

Hello, may I join in?

I am ttc#2 currently on CD13 and expecting to O around CD 20/21 but LP is only usually about 10/11 days, the wait is killing me! We are doing the SMEP and also charting temps, OPKs and checking CP and CM. I am also drinking GF juice to help with EWCM.

Good luck to everyone this month

Welcome to the thread hun!

My LP is only 10-11 days too!! Ugh. Does the grapefruit juice really help? I haven't heard of that!!! Good luck!!!!

 

[missgenna]

Update here, 7 dpo. My temp dropped slightly today, I'm crossing my fingers it's just a 1 day drop.

Mine had a weird drop yesterday!!! I will post a pic of my chart so you can tell me what you think!!!

 

[missgenna]

Ok I caved in yesterday and took a test because on another forum everyone Kept getting their BFP. I got a BFN though but still no since of af and I was due to start today?? So might still have a chance?!

AHH I get POAS crazy too! How many DPO are you now? Don't get discouraged love!!!

 

[missgenna]

Af was due today. Was sure she was going to come since I had a temp dip this morning. Shes comes every mont just in time right when I wake up like clockwork so now I don't know what's going on, but I tested BFN... ughhhh.

Don't stress about it love! What;s done is done now. So just sit back and wait!

 

[missgenna]

well af decided to show her face after all.. back to CD1 for me =(.. I'm out

OH HONEY!!! That WITCH I am so sorry. Stay positive! You can still hang with us here and we can start back up next month!!

 

[missgenna]

hey ladies, about to ov between now and Friday so hopefully, I will be back more for the 2ww xxx

YAY!!!

 

[missgenna]

My temp went back up to 98.28, yesterday it was 98.06

Decided to test, and a BFN was the result. I still have hope as I'm 8dpo, but could be 6 or 7.

Still hope honey

 

[missgenna]

OK using FF O day was on the 8th then it reconfigured to show the 11th. Anyone had that happen before??? I'm new to all of this charting and temp taking, etc....

D

Does it show the red line of O yet? How did you make it do that?

 

[missgenna]

Does anyone know how to insert my the temp chart into my postings/signature from FF?

 

[jadoechols]

IDK how I did it. I was just doc temps and then it came on this am and said it had detected something and was shifting O date. Went from dotted lines to solid lines. IDK!! I'm still trying to figure my way around this!! UGH!

Hiya, can I join you? We have decided to try for another. We have an 8 year old and a little one who is 19 months and amazing It took us quite a while last time ttc so we are prepared that this might take a while again though I have lost 4.5 stone in preparation! Hoping that will speed things up. This is our first month trying and I am going to use clear blue ovulation test stick thingies as I didn't realise I needed to fire up my cbfm on cd1 to use it this cycle! I am on cd7 today so excited to start this journey all over again!

Welcome Gingerwhinger! This is a great group of girls

Genna - I just figured out how to share a chart. On the FF website - you have to set up your charts home page first. When your on your chart page, there is a button underneath that says "Share". Click on that and then it will tell you that you need to set it up. Go through those steps and then when you are done it will give you a url that you can paste into your signature, or just paste it onto a post if you don't want it to be in your signature.

I'm going to give it a shot right now. I finally just today got the red crosshairs showing that I ovulated. Yay!

 

[mdub19]

hmm...trying again.

Thanks Yes sucks having a short LP, I took Bvits last time to help but got BFP so don't know of they even affected it or not in the end! The GF juice does seem to help me with the old EWCM yes

 

[missgenna]

Hey Ladies! Thanks for posting your updates! It's interesting to hear the differences our bodies and cycles have, isn't it? Just goes to show, no two cycles are the same! It's kind of encouraging, if you ask me!!!

Anyway, update. I had my digital OPK monitor tell me PEAK on CD18 & CD19. I however got +OPK both days and also TODAY CD21 but my monitor says LOW today. My temperature also dipped yesterday! It's really weird and I don't know what to think. I am still getting EWCM though!? Thoughts???

Here is my chart. Let me know what you think!
