CD2, anyone with me?

[BeachyFeelin]

CD5 today - I am just spotting at this point which is great. I absolutely hate wearing pads, but I was told tampons could cause an infection during a MC so I stayed away.

We are planning on BDing every other night starting tomorrow and as much as possible this weekend. I got my OPK's (I think I bought out the dollar store) and hopefully will get my BBT this Wednesday!

I'm really hoping my body decides to be nice and I ovulate like usual on CD13. I don't want this to be an extra long cycle - I think I'll go insane. Which is why I felt such a strong need to temp and use OPK's so I know when I ovulate.

I seriously feel like I'd do anything to be pregnant again. And this time with a sticky bean!

Hi ladies! How has everyone been? Sorry, I've been MIA. It seems like it has been a very busy week!

I'm on CD 12 here and keep getting negative OPK's. I'm not temping this time around because last month seemed too stressful, but I had leftover OPKs, so I figured I would use them up.

DH really have had too many opportunities to bd since he has been working overtime. But his last overtime shift was yesterday, so we will bd tonight. Just hoping that it's not too late!

Maddy,

I am on CD12 too and keep getting negative OPKs but that has been the same last month as well. Last cycle, I had a slightly darker but still a negative OPK on CD12 but it turned + on CD13, So I am hoping I show a good trend this cycle as well. I would suggest you to keep testing everyday until you get a positive. I have decided that once I see a close positive I am going to start BDing everyday until I confirm ovulation.

One thing that I am concerned about is this cycle I feel pretty dry down there...I am worried if maybe I am not going to get EWCM and thats going to hinder my chances this month.

CD16 for me and still waiting for +opk and ovulation. Any updates from you girls?

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Hi ladies!!!

I'm CD12 today - usually I ovulate tomorrow but I'm still getting very negative OPKS which has been very frustrating. I'm hoping today's are going to be positive but I'm not holding out hope :/

I tested twice yesterday 3PM and 9PM and I think the 9PM was darker, so I'm really hoping today's at 230PM is almost positive! I'm getting so frustrated! Felt the cervix for the last couple days and it's moved up and was open yesterday afternoon, but was starting to close last night.

Thankfully i'm temping again, but today until Wednesday I'm getting up an hour earlier for work so I'm having to use the adjuster...really hope it's accurate.

Totally feel all over the place right now!

 

[shudknow]

Hi ladies, how are you doing? Have you girls ovulated yet?

I am on CD18 and still waiting for ovulation I have a feeling this is going to be a looooong cycle!! So far, DH and I have been BDing every other day for the most part. I hope I ovulate soon enough. Until now, all my OPKs have been the same for the past 8 days...I see a line but it is not as dark as the test line, every day I think it is going to get darker but no progress so far...this is getting frustrating!

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Hey!

i'm CD14 today and yesterday after a positive OPK FF gave me ovulation for today. But when I put in today's temp it took it away. I messed around and added temps for tomorrow and Friday (higher) and FF gave me an ovulation date for yesterday! CD13!

Haha...I think ovulation on CD13 is right, that is my normal O day. But today my cervix is SUPER high and open and I feel like today might be O day.

Will just have to wait and see.

 

[Maddy_desie]

Hi Ladies! Sorry i've been missing. I came down with the flu! And to make matters worse, it came on right around the time I got a pos OPK! No bd for us, so I am already counting myself out this cycle.

Beachy, I would just continue to bd if you can! I think even with OPK's it is sometimes hard to know when exactly O happened.

Shudknow, hang in there! All this will be worth it when we get our BFP!

 

[shudknow]

Sorry maddy that you are down with the flu! Hope you feel better soon. I do see from your chart that you did manage to get some BD around a + opk, you are still in the game this month as far as I think...hang in there!

Beachy, I see that FF gave your crosshairs, that's great..you are now in the tww. Good luck!

As for me, I think I ovulated 2 days ago, I dont have crosshairs yet but I am pretty sure I ovulated on CD21. Now, to the most boring part of TTC...waiting!

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Maddy - I wouldn't worry! Looks like you had your bases covered before the flu!

Glad we are all in the TWW!!

I've been very frustrated with my chart. Went on vacation on Thursday so my temps on Fri, Sat, Sun morning might not be totally accurate. I basically went from our bedroom which was about 84 degrees (damn heatwave with no AC!) to a hotel room that was 74 degrees. No matter now many times I upped the thermostat it always went back to 74. It's Friday's temp that is annoying me. The dip changes my CH. That was our first morning in the hotel and I didn't sleep with much covers on.

FF had my CH at CD13, but after this morning's high temp it changed it to CD14. Which annoys me because we didn't DTD on CD14 (I knew we should have just in case).

All in all I'm only going to temp for a couple more days and then stop. I'm starting to remember why I stopped temping in the first place!! It's driving me nuts!

Personally I think I ovulated either very late at night on CD13 or very early AM CD14. Either way, I reallyyyyy hope we caught the eggy again and this is our sticky baby. My heart it aching to be pregnant again (and actually have it be a successful pregnancy).

 

[Maddy_desie]

Thanks ladies! I am feeling better this week, but still worried that we didn't bd enough this month. We will soon find out because AF due on the 1st! I am debating on if I want to test early or not. I have my SIL wedding this weekend and am thinking I might want to have a few drinks and relax in the hot tub. On the other hand I absolutely hate seeing the BFN on the HPT. . .

Beachy, I hear you about charting! It really was stressful last month, which is why I opted not to do it this month.

Are you ladies having any symptoms yet?

 

[BeachyFeelin]

The 2 days before O and the day before O are the most important days. So you are good! Don't stress about it!

I put my chart on the FAM method this morning and it moved my O day back to CD13. I think that might be right. A lot of women say they use the FAM method because it only takes into account your temps. The advanced calculates everything. But OPK's, cm and cervix position isn't as reliable as temps are.

Even so, Advanced only had me Oing on CD14, so they are not too different.

So that leaves me at 8DPO. Nothing really to report. I'm tired but that is not uncommon, and I seem to have a bit more creamy CM than last cycle. But again, this has happened before in the TWW.

I wish I had something more telling AF is due 1st/2nd but I might test on Sunday if I can't hold out until then!

 

[shudknow]

Maddy, I agree with Beachy. You should be covered, dont stress about it

I am 4dpo today, so obviously no symptoms whatsoever. It is definitely too early but at the same time, I have this gut feeling that this is not going to be my month Thankfully, I have been quite busy with work..so that's keeping me occupied. But I kinda made peace with the idea that it is ok if I am not pregnant this cycle. For some reason, I have this strong feeling that I am in for a long run because of PCOS. Now, I truly hope I am proved otherwise

Don't think you are in for the long run, you never know. Last month before my BFP I could have sworn AF was coming. I feel the same this cycle, that AF is going to come. Even though we covered all our bases, I still feel skeptical. It's only in my nature!

Lucky work is keeping you busy, I have nothing to do at work right now but obsess over TTC stuff!!! Ugh

 

[shudknow]

Thanks Beachy Let's wait and see how things are going to turn out for me...

Maddy, Beachy..
Since you girls are at 10dpo, any symptoms so far? I am 6dpo today, so I have more time to wait before expecting anything..

Nope nothing. Have been having the tinged yellow CM, but today and yesterday have noticed a bit watery cm too. I'm not putting too much on my CM though.

Unless I ovulated the same day as my positive OPK's than I'm only 9DPO. But I have left my chart on the FAM method to use my temps so that says 10DPO.

I've been dying to pee on something so tonight after work I'm going to pick up some cheap tests at Walmart. I bought some cheapies from Amazon but they are not getting here until 10/1. I can't wait that long. That's also when AF is due.

 

[Maddy_desie]

Hi ladies! I was away at my SIL's wedding this weekend, so it's been rather busy and hectic. We had gorgeous weather for the end of September in New England. Sunny and 80 degrees! I even got a little bit of a sunburn - ouch! It's been a nice little break from obsessing over ttc. However, now that the wedding festivities are behind us, I'm back at it!

AF is due for me today and I have no signs she is on her way (no spotting, no sore bbs, spots, etc.). I did test with a cheapie test on Friday and got a BFN. So I'm wondering if AF is just late due to being sick this month and running around helping out with pre-wedding errands or if a BFP may be on it's way??!!! What do you ladies think???

I thought you said AF was due on the 1st?

Being sick won't delay AF, later ovulation will. Did you chart this month? When I click on your chart the most recent one is last cycle.

I'm pretty sure I'm out. Today im 11/12dpo and I had some dark brown discharge this morning. This is exactly like my pre AF spotting, and right on time. AF due Wednesday or Thursday for me and nothing but stark white BFN's. I expect her to come

 

[Maddy_desie]

Beachy, I had in my head that she was due on the 1st for some reason. But looking back at the calendar, CD 1 for me was August 30th, which means I am on CD 28 today. Since I've been tracking the length of my cycles (about a year), I can't remember them being longer than 29 days. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

I didn't chart this month. It just felt like too much last month. So really, I'm just guessing when O was. I did have some OPK's and got a positive one around the 15th, but I'm not sure how reliable it is. It was a CB one with the smiley faces.

I know you feel out Beachy, but I've still got my fx for you! xx

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Thanks Maddy! Fx for you too!

No AF is a good sign....my cycles always start cd28 too but I don't know how accurate that will be this cycle after the mc. I'm still testing and getting bfn but I will continue testing until a BFP or AF!

I got a positive opk at cd13 so I'm assuming I ovulated cd14 even though ff is saying cd13 because of my temps...I'm not sure how accurate they are right now.
