CD1 anybody?! Looking for buddies :)

[apms]

Question: Because I ovulated early on CD 12/13...does that mean I'll have a short cycle? I'm not sure if those are related, just curious.

I would like to know this too, I normally have 28 days of cycle and ovulate mostly on 14th but this time it was early i.e. day 12th does that mean my cycle would be shorter this time?

Earlier i.e. around a year ago I used to have 24 days cycle but from past 1 year its 28 or 30 days cycle for me.

I also have a regular 28 day cycle. This month I ovulated on cd12 (earlier than usual) and started my period on cd27 (one day shorter cycle)

According to FF my average cycle is 28, but then I calculated on another app and it said my average is 29. I think I'm going to use 29....It's only been 3 cycles off BC and they have all been different.

I'm CD26 today, no spotting yet (last cycle I was spotting by now, but the cycle before I didn't spot till CD29). I'm so frustrated with this irregularity it's driving me NUTS.

The only thing I have going for me right now is that my temp is still up. Where as last cycle (my first cycle temping) it started going back down by now). I did feel a little warm under the blankets this morning though, so that could be why the temp is still up. GRR

How's everyone doing?

Hey girls

I'm a bit grouchy to be honest.

I've promised myself I won't symptom spot, then this month my sis saw me suffering with cramps and nausea and said could you be preggo coz my symptoms were like her preggo ones.

Clearly I got excited and my cm was TOTALLY different so I started temping. My temps are still high and AF is due Monday . Bfn today

My temps are around 36.60 on and off but I had 2 temp rises after o
If I am the BFP please, if I'm not temps need to drop so I can move on. Xx

 

[BeachyFeelin]

We are on our 5th cycle here and going crazy as usual

I am only relying on temping now (needed to dial back a bit as I feel this has taken over my life) and I could have sworn I ovulated on CD13 this cycle (only 2 days after we last DTD) and had a fallback rise temp on 2DPO....this is with FF on the advanced setting. When I change it to the FAM setting it changes my O to CD15 (5 days after we last DTD).

So it's an understatement to say I'm frustrated if I'm using the advanced settings I'm 7DPO today and not feeling anything but could still be in the running. If I'm going off the FAM settings I'm 5DPO and pretty sure this month was a bust

 

[ladders]

Yep know how you feel beachy this is cycle 8 of really trying and im getting more and more obsessed!
Phoenix I'm due Monday too, fingers crossed the witch stays away

 

[Phoenix82]

10 months in and with you!!

My temps look good - I'm due AF tomoz and it feels like she's coming I REALLY thought this was my month coz my temp rise happened twice but maybe not.

Bfn today so I'll wait for the to arrive I guess

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Good luck for Monday girls! I'm about to just give up on this cycle! Every day it feel different about what day I ovulated on. Kicking myself for not doing opk's this cycle!

If I'm going off cd13 I'm 8dpo today and had a huge dip in my chart.

Question...have any of you ever had white ewcm? I put that down on cd11 but it was white/cloudy and stretched about an inch before breaking. Most websites I found women said if their cm stretched they recorded as ewcm....even if it's not clear.

What do you ladies think?

 

[Phoenix82]

I'm totally with you, I do OPK but font often get a full positive, I get 2 lines from 1, the docs confirmed I do ovulate and my temps would confirm it but no idea which day. So like you I'm a tad lost!!!!

Ewcm is stretchy, doesn't matter too much about colour more how stretchy it is as it is the most fertile. I've not really noticed it too much until after ovulation and this cycle I've had loads.

Fingers crossed for you xx

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Thanks! I'm just going to assume it was ewcm...I read in multiple places that it's not the color that really matters but the consistecy. There wasn't much of it, just noticed it once...but I'll take it.

I've had loads of weird and different cm this cycle. After ovulation I had days of noticeable yellow tinged creamy. The last couple days watery...and today watery that was more milky that stretched only a tiny but, and I'm talking tiny, less than 1 cm.

Not sure what's going on here!

If you temp can't you pinpoint your ovulation day? Do you use fertility friend to keep track of your cycles?

 

[Phoenix82]

Sadly I only started temping mid cycle and I was feeling really sore cd16/cd17 and it started claiming straight away. Maybe I ovulated later then cd14 this month

I have the AF feeling although no sign yet.
My temp is slightly lower today but I was on and off all night and barely got more then an hours sleep which so far has lowered my temp so I'm disregarding today's

 

[ladders]

I'm trying to hide from af also, due today or tomorrow and can't decide if my back pain is af or just because iv done a set of nights shifts, praying for the latter.
Beachy iv had the same differences in my cm, don't usually have much but this time after o iv had lots of creamy cm and now watery but whitish colour like milk. Fingers crossed it's a positive sign!

It's weird, isn't it??? More of it today, the milky watery stuff...I classified as creamy, but I'm not sure that's right!!

How do you record it on FF?

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Just found this - I guess it's creamy.

Dry: Record your cervical fluid as "dry" if you have no cervical fluid present at all; if you notice no cervical fluid in your underwear; and if the outside of your vagina feels dry. You can expect to see dry days both before ovulation after your period and after ovulation. Record "dry" if you are not able to gather or see any cervical fluid, even if your vagina feels slightly moist inside.

Sticky: Record your cervical fluid as "sticky" if it is glue-like, gummy, stiff or crumbly and if it breaks easily and quickly and if it is not easily stretched. It will probably be yellowish or white, but could also be cloudy/clear. You may or may not see some sticky cervical fluid before and after ovulation.

Creamy: Record your cervical fluid as "creamy" if it is like hand lotion, white or yellow or cloudy/clear, like milk or cream, mayonnaise or like a flour/water solution. It may stretch slightly but not very much and break easily.

Watery: Enter "watery" if your cervical fluid is clear and most resembles water. It may be stretchy also. This cervical fluid is considered fertile and this may be your most fertile cervical fluid or you may get it before you get eggwhite cervical fluid or you may not get this type of fluid at all.

Eggwhite: This is your most fertile cervical fluid. Record "eggwhite" if your cervical fluid looks at all like real eggwhite, is stretchy and clear, or clear tinged with white, or even clear tinged with pink. It also resembles semen (and has a lot of the same physical properties to allow the sperm to travel and be nourished). You should be able to stretch it between your thumb and index finger.

Awesome description. Good find, Beachy! Thanks!!!

I had a pretty good understanding of most of it, but I didn't know that about "dry." Perfect timing- CD1 for me today, and I'd really like to get charting perfectly since I decided to start temping on Friday.

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Every cycle I think I finally have a handle on charting and CM, then something new happens and I always get so thrown off and end up spending hours online Googling similar things!! Haha

 

[ladders]

Ha ha I'm the same. I'm pretty sure iv never had this much cm after ovulation before and am still getting the milky stuff and af due today or tomorrow. However not sure if I'm just more aggressive at gathering it this cycle than others if you know what I mean. Also been staring at boobs in the mirror and areolas look more brown and nips still pink so off to Google that like a crazy person!

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Haha - I know, I always wonder if I'm just noticing more stuff this cycle because I am looking for it more or what!!

Are you going to test tomorrow if AF doesn't come?

 

[ladders]

Witch just got me and tested and bfn. This is never going to happen for me
