CD1 August 11th - wanna keep one another sane?

[shmoo75]

Well I now do not know what to think!!!! FF is now telling me it can't detect OV!!! My temp is doing a gradual decline over the last couple of days!!!! I am still going to test sat or sun and go from there!!!! Why oh why can't my body just be "normal" for once?

 

[celine]

schmoo to me it looks like u might of o-ed on cd 17

 

[Halle71]

Morning girls

I agree with Celine Shmoo.
And to be honest I don't agree with my FF at the moment. My usual timings and CM indicate I O'd at CD15 and at first FF agreed but a couple of dpo it changed to CD17.

I think I'm going to be out this month as well Lyns (nice pic by the way - I had always pictured you with dark hair like your little girl).
I don't want to be pessimistic but I'm starting to get pre AF symptoms. My boobs are a bit bigger and a bit sore as normal but when I was pg they had barely changed by week 6. And I'm starting to feel a bit bloated whereas I felt I was losing weight from week 3-6 of my pregnancy.

There is hope!!!

Hx

I'd tend to agree on Ov at CD17 Shmoo.....that looks to me to be about the only time, based on your temps. Whatabout other signs at that point? Are you taking your temp at the same time each day....everyone I've spoken to so far, says they have needed to to get FF to show a clear picture. I couldn't be faffed with all that to be honest (plus i have DD who wakes me when she wants!) thats why i use my monitor!

Thanks for the nice coments on the new pic everyone....lol I was dark like my LO, but when she was diagnosed with cancer at 6 weeks old, I went grey overnight, literally. So I get a little help from my haridresser now!

 

[shmoo75]

Lyns sorry to hear that you had to go through that awful time when your LO was only 6wks old. to you don't know what else to say

My temp has risen slightly today FF has not changed its mind yet and still showing that I have not O'd. I suppose I need to see what the next couple of days temps say and go from there. My boobs the last couple of days have gone into overdrive. I usually get boob soreness ect all the time even when I was on BCP. I keep having random feelings of sickness but not be sick, still eat and now my abdominal is starting to feel like it does before arrives which if I did OV on CD17 should be due to visit from Thursday 11/09. I tested this morning and will test again on Monday and go from there.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Hello...
first of all..I caved and tested Friday.....To soon and

So I am waiting til Sunday to retest.

So I have had NO phone service in my whole town......pop 800 now!! for the whole day of Friday.
When you live in the middle of the woods that is a very very VERY bad thing. No phone lines mean no 911....and because of wilderness no cell except for a few spots.
I am lucky tho' as my OH is on the volunteer Fire Dept. and has a radio to call dispatch direct. But unless you or your neighbour has a cell phone and actually can get some bars to call out....You're screwed.

They had a medical call of course but luckily the little boy ran to neighbours house and was able to call. ( neighbour is also on fire dept)

So its been a rough night!! OH had to stay at hall for about 10 hours during the day until they got the call in case they had any " walk ins" Now he..the Fire Cheif and deputy chief as well as another highly trained firefighter are all out of town doing an all day training.
There is only maybe 2 trained and about 5 rookies left here. NOT good.....but next town over can help with any big fires.

So that was my exciting day and night. No computer access so i have to go back and see what I missed in the last 24 hrs..hahahaha

My syptoms still......are
empty nausous feeling then starving...
lots of spots on cheek now..BUT could be af coming.....
lots of farts....or windy as you UK girls would say.
I have no patience with my dogs..they have been brats.
I blew my nose the other day and felt a weird sharp pain. Then had some wierd twinges not quite cramps in my Va-jayjay. Thats girl parts for you girls that don't watch Grey's Anatomy.
My nips hurt when i touch them....touch not squeeze..haha and total boob has had a hotish prickly feeling.
so thats it....i am still positive and will test ( 25 iuml or whatever the reading is) so closer to AF due.
ahhhhhhhhhh so sorry this is such a long post ......
now how bout you'all........hows it going??

 

[kittiekat]

Sounds good Chilly,

I tested yesterday (only 8 dpo) lol but got a faint, faint, faint line on an IC. So tested again this morning and it is still faint, faint, faint but there. There appears to be a slight pink look to it but i can't be sure. What has everyone elses experiences been like with IC? I am only 9 dpo but not feeling confident at all.

When I first joined I posted a comment about possible repeated chemical pregnancies so not holding out much faith as this is how it starts the faint faint lines take time to develop into good and then they start to disappear......

I did have sore boobs but they are only sore now on and off. I did have slight cramping this morning but nothing major to make me think 'oh implantation'. My temps have been the same over the past two days too 36.68 which is slightly lower than thursday which was 36.73.

Anyway, enough of me complaining, has anyone used IC and they have worked well for them?

 

[kittiekat]

Oh and I forgot my pee smells like sugar puffs!!! I have read that on here so many times and truthfully had a little giggle but today it actually smelled of sugar puffs......don't know what it means though lol, just thought I would share that with you haha

 

[amber20]

I am 12 dpo. I used an IC last night and got a faint line, this morning I used a clearblue and was BFN. So I don't know it was kind of a let down.

 

[kittiekat]

I know what you mean thats why I am not doing a clear blue diggi (stashed away) until I get a definite line on an IC. Just wondered if anyone has ever tested with them and got faint lines but showed up better on others, I can wish......lol

 

[csmummu]

Dont forget IC are more sensitive than named brands for example... So it is possible that the IC is right for the both of you.. Try testing again in a few days even with an IC the line should be darker than the first time.

and

Hello...

lots of farts....or windy as you UK girls would say.

Thats cos were polite .... what an adventurous day and night how amazing to live in a small town. Your symptoms sound reallly really good fingers crossed!

 

[CHILLbilly]

Sugar puffs...hahahaha
ok i admit I smell my pee as well....
and 9dpo with a faint positive...yahooooo I can only hope for a + next time I test.I'm waiting til 13dpo..which is 2 days before AF due...arggggggggg i hate waiting.

csmummu...nothing polite about me...hahahahaha p.s. been eating cabbage..oops...lol maybe thats why so many fluffs ( as my mom would say).

i have only seen about 4 people on sept. preg list so theres lots of room for more!!!!!!

 

[shmoo75]

IC are far more sensitive than named brands. When I was preggers in May this year I used a IC on the sat got a really faint line as in I could just see the outlines of the 2nd line but no colour in between, I then used a CB no digi straight after as I pee'd in to a plastic disposable cup and that was BFN. I tested again on the Tuesday with an IC and that time it was alot darker I also checked with a CB digi and that said in no uncertain terms PREGNANT. So, in opinon I believe what the IC's say as, they will detect the hormone alot earlier than say a FR or CB. I am testing again on Monday when, I think I should be 12DPO but, as FF isn't saying anything who knows for sure?!?!

 

[CHILLbilly]

Good luck Schmoo.......
your testing monday?
i'm testing Sunday at 13 dpo.
Hoping if i am preg that i won't beone of those girls that doesn't test positive until 2weeks late...argg that would be my luck!

 

[shmoo75]

I have my fingers crossed for you Chilly. I know they say any line is a line no matter how faint but, because of my m/c I wont believe it until it is as dark as the control line

 

[csmummu]

oooh im so excited

 

[kittiekat]

Thanks for all the responses girls. It feels good just to talk about the possiblity, my darling husband won't look at pregnancy tests anymore unless they are very clear. He has been so disappointed in the past (me as well ;-).

I won't (honest ;-) get excited until it becomes really dark and then I will be on pins and needles for a while to make sure the little bean sticks, but I must admit I am anxiously waiting to test again in the morning.

I felt really tired last night after work so went to have half an hour (at 7:30pm) and woke up this morning at 6am to the sound of my alarm clock reminding me to take my temps lol! I know I mentioned my boobs were sore on and off but today they seem to have been sore again all day but it could be cos I am getting my hopes up (tut tut slaps hand, ouch!).

Are you testing tomorrow Chilly?

 

[CHILLbilly]

Ya i only had 2 tests this time..and used on on friday 11dpo. and no line.
I feel like I may be preg. everything feels different ....then i start to feel down as I know that spotting usually happenes on cd25....sunday as well... so I am hoping I don't spot tommorrow.
I haven't had to many af like cramps but they usua;y stop and the start back up the same time as spot.
I get all excited leading up to test time then I see that early and start doubting myself!
Oh well....I have to think positive...and if I am ment to be pregnant then I will see that +.
If not....well i'm going to order some OPK strips ( pee and see ovulation lie?) i think thats the one....I may even start temping.
As well as order internal preseed and alot more preg tests!!!!!!!
and no symptom spot from past O to test time....i say this every month BUT its exciting to read others symptoms and compare them to my own. it just does a number on me.
Ok enough of the negative mental attitude...I am going to think positive.
