[Teilana]

This morning brought a for me

 

[MrsMandy]

Congratulations Teliana!! Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!! Keep us posted!!

Looks like June is a lucky month so far!!!

 

[mkyerby16]

Wow! That's great news! Congrats! Seems like we are a lucky group! Hope there's enough luck for the rest of us!

 

[shudknow]

Teliana, congratulations! Looks like this is one lucky group of ladies, I hope its the same story for the rest of us

mykerby, sorry you are having a bad day! Cramps like those on CD15 is something I haven't heard of but who knows how our bodies act up If you are charting, did you see a temp drop today indicating ovulation?

 

[shudknow]

Does someone here know how I can make FF show my BD times when you click on the link in my signature? For some reason, it doesn't show up here but I can see it when I log into my account on FF. Any ideas?

 

[bucherwurm]

Yay, Teilana! Congrats!

Lots of luck to everyone else!

Nope no temping or opks. I work nights on the weekends only soo sometimes I wake up at 5pm sometimes 8am sometimes 11am sometimes 2pm etc always a different time sooo I figured I wouldn't bother attempting to chart. Wish I had done opks but wanted to save money & not obsess (I'm not doing good at that! )

 

[Beanonorder]

Sorry about your bad day mkyerby16. Hope you found pants!

Congrats teilana!

I still haven't had any O signs. And dh and I have been dtd a bit more and haven't exactly been careful. From next week on I can relax because that will give us a due date of end of March, when the insurance kicks in. Obviously if I don't get af or O signs in the next two weeks I'll have to test.

I don't have any ovulation signs either. And even if I have, I am very confused if they truly are signs of ovulating

I am on CD15 and DH and I currently are BD'ing frequently enough (I finally figured how to show BD times on FF!). Every month I do get a good amount of EWCM, most of it during a bowel movement (eeeks, sorry TMI). Sometimes, EWCM is significant enough to land on my panties (sorry TMI again!) This cycle, however, I have no indication of EWCM. So I decided to go up and feel my cervix. I do have a vague idea of how the cervix is supposed to feel but I am still on a learning curve. I notice that I am pretty wet in there (and this was when I checked before ) and my cervix was hard to reach. However, for the life of me, i can't know whether it is hard or soft or closed or open. I do know that I could distinctly feel something like two lips at the back with an opening in between through which I can almost put the tip of my finger. The upper lip, so to speak, was softer than the lower lip. Never experienced this before so I dont know what does this mean. Which one is my cervix now? Sorry if I sound dumb but I cant seem to figure it out and Dr. Google is not very helpful either

Does any of this sound something to you ladies? Since I am a bit obsessing about this, I am planning to get some OPK tests today to know for sure whats going on with me...

 

[mkyerby16]

Sounds soft high & open to me shudknow! Hopefully that means your about to O! It feels more like a nose or cartilage in your ears when its hard. And if it seemed like your finger could fit that's open. I'm just learning too but that's what I've noticed with me. I know what you mean about the cm during bowel movements too, thought I was just weird haha

Well family night & funeral is over with now (I did find pants for last night! Lol). Tooth is feeling much better and I can eat on that side now. Cramps were gone this morning and just one nipple is sore now. Couldn't BD until late last night so I hope we caught it bc I really do think I o'd yesterday. Felt a weird bubble/pop feeling then the cramping almost went away about 2pm yesterday. Didn't bd until about 1am tho so hope we weren't too late.

 

[shudknow]

Thanks mykerby! Fingers crossed for you

Who knew knowing and understanding our own bodies can be so difficult I am hoping that I am in my fertile phase, there is no reliable indicator of EWCM right now because of all the BD..I think I am just going to keep doing until I see a temp shift in my chart!

And oh by the way, did I mention I cant concentrate on my work now because I am always day dreaming about pregnancy!

 

[MrsMandy]

Join the club!!
On Tuesday I had a whole hour where I had to oversee some tests, I spent the whole time daydreaming - it was bliss!!!! 😄

Haha that sounds familiar, MrsMandy

On another note, I bought the digi OPKs yesterday because I was too confused about what's going on with my body. I thought I was ovulating/closer to ovulation but the digi says negative. Tested last evening after returning home from work and this morning. Looks like I am going to ovulate late this cycle! DH and I decided that we are not going to BD if I dont ovulate until CD21 to eliminate the risk of conceiving on a late ovulation. Until then, trying to hang in there.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[mkyerby16]

Grrr I don't know why I'm getting all moody about TTC. This is only the first cycle and just coming off of bcp I didn't expect much. I think DH being so on board kind of changed how I felt... It's nice bc he usually has low libido but he initiated every possible chance and realllllly wants me pregnant (sounds creepy but it was sweet) But of course I really wanted to BD yesterday in case I didn't O on Tuesday and was going to yesterday (plus I genuinely wanted DH.. nice side effect I guess lol) but we had the funeral in the a.m. then he had to go off shopping for fishing stuff with one of his buddies and when he came home he felt sick to his stomach and just went to sleep. I know that's not his fault but I was still irrationally upset lol We did get in this morning before he left for work, but I felt like it was too late anyway and we only did bc I made some whiny half asleep comment about how he ruined it bc we didn't yesterday (I was soo tired for some reason) So he enjoyed it bc he loves morning but I just did it to get it done. Oh well thanks for letting me babble about nothing lol!

 

[shudknow]

Ok, I am super duper confused and I don't know what to do or think.
I have no idea if I already ovulated or I haven't yet?? My 3 OPKs went progressively lighter and at the same time, my temps have gone up. Now, I didn't think much of the temps going high because it is getting hotter where I live with summer approaching. On one of the past 3 days, I got up at 5:30 instead of my usual 7:00am. I measured my BBT when I woke up and it was 97.3. Then, I went back to sleep and measured again at 7 just to see the variation. It was 97.6. If I try to adjust my temp on whenmybaby, it says 97.6. Now, when I enter this in FF, it says I have ovulated 3 days ago. For now, I have erased my temp from yesterday so that I can know for certain if I ovulated or not once I take my temp tomorrow.

But here's my confusion - should I BD any more? My OPKs are a blaring negative? Are there any other signs to look for to know if I have ovulated?

 

[mkyerby16]

Since I don't use opk's or temp I'm pretty useless here, but I think it's always a good idea to BD just in case! In regards to the opks though I've read that you typically ovulate 24-48 hrs from your first positive one and it doesn't really matter when they go negative... not sure if that's true or not. Good luck!

 

[mkyerby16]

Ugh I'm feeling a bit discouraged. I've had pretty bad AF cramps (both sides and my lower back). Sorry for the tmi but even had a bit of diarrhea like I often do the first day of AF or the day before. Feels just like AF is on her ugly way. Just barely cd20 now though. 5 days past when I think I may have o'd

I'm pretty much the same!! Been getting crampy belly and (tmi) really gasey which happens few day before my period.
Ah well, never thought we would catch straight away, but still, it has been nice to daydream that we might be! Xx

 

[Beanonorder]

Sorry for those feeling discouraged. This journey is so hard at times!
I still haven't seen any signs of Oing. Its so frustrating. If my cycles went back to the same as last time then af should have arrived over this weekend. If it stays the same as it was last month, then af should come around the end of next week. Either way, I should have seen some sign of Oing last week or the week before. But nothing. I really thought that having such clear signs last month that it would continue but either I've missed it or it has happened, which means I'm having REALLY long cycles.

That sucks beanonorder!! Hopefully we'll all have a luckier next cycle!
