CD2, anyone with me?

[Maddy_desie]

Yeah! FX for the tww. When do you plan on testing?

I'm on CD 14 now. I've been temping plus using OPK's, but nothing so far. Hopefully will O within the next couple of days. DH have been bd every other day, so I think we've been covering our basis fairly well.

Sending out positive vibes to you ladies!! xx

 

[shudknow]

Maddy, I don't plan on testing until I miss AF (hopefully!) or I feel different...I am 7dpo today and I feel I am out already. Can't shake this feeling off that this is not the month I am trying not to think too much and let the week pass, so far though, nothing...

Good that you are temping and doing OPKs. Though I have PCOS, I have seen that both these methods are the best way to know if and when we ovulate. Hoping that you ovulate soon and catch that eggy, FX'd for you.

 

[Maddy_desie]

Hey Shudknow! I'm joining you in the tww. I'm 3dpo now. Got CH on FF this morning. Although I never got a pos OPK. I was using the clear blue OPK and I don't know why. I've never had great luck with them. I'm just going to trust my temps.

I know how you feel about already feeling out. We have to keep hope alive though! I've got all my finger and toes crossed for us!! xx

 

[Destinyk]

For some reason I stopped getting notifications until today agh!! Hope everyone is well

AFM got a nice rise today and when I plug in dummy temps I get CH for Wednesday like I expected, so I am currently 1dpo. I've been super busy because I'm getting married January 11!

 

[shudknow]

Thanks Maddy & Destiny, glad to know you girls are already past your ovulation! My cycles are so long that I find it funny I am still in the tww of my November cycle and you girls are already past ovulations this month lol! Good luck to you both! I think its time we changed the course of this thread, hope we all get your BFPs soon! FX'd!

Maddy,
As long as you see a sustained rise in your temps, you should be fairly confident about ovulation. I heard that OPKs can be off, sometimes you can get a close-enough line but not really a positive.

Destiny, BIG congratulations! So excited for you...I hope you have a great wedding day Are you going to have a big wedding or something on an intimate smaller scale?

 

[Destinyk]

Shudknow much luck to you!! I agree this thread is in need of some BFPs. Thank you very much, our wedding is definitely small and intimate. There will be about 40 people there it is on the beach and the reception is going to be at my moms house.

 

[Maddy_desie]

Shudknow - thanks! I am just going to trust the temps and hope for the best!

Destiny - Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials!!! I see you live in Florida? That is where I was born and raised! The beaches there are beautiful and the weather is fabulous, so you should have an amazing day!!

You girls are right! This thread is in need of some BFPs!!

Here is some to help us along!

 

[Destinyk]

Maddy thank you so much! Where in Florida did you live? I was born and raised in New York, the wedding will be on Ft Lauderdale beach


C'mon BFPs!!!

 

[shudknow]

Hi ladies,
AF just showed up at my end. So now, on CD1 of cycle# 5.

I have been having this strong feeling after ovulation that it was not my month. So, though I tested on Saturday (in order to have a drink) and it was a stark white BFN, it didnt disappoint me too much. So, I feel ok that AF is here though 2 days early. Onto next cycle now. This month I wont be doing OPKs because I will be traveling to see my parents-in-law. Will be just temping and DTD whenever we can.

How are you girls doing?

 

[Destinyk]

Shudknow sorry the wotxh showed, I know there are cycles where is super easy to accept her visit and other where it's like you were convinced she wouldn't. FX for this next relaxed approach cycle! 5 dpo here

 

[Maddy_desie]

shudknow, sorry the got you. Sounds like you are going into the next cycle pretty positive and relaxed! Have safe travels and fx for you in the next cycle!

Destiny, I grew up in Longwood, Florida. Right on the outskirts of Orlando. Now I live up in Boston. It's almost like we switched places! lol

7dpo for me today. Saw a bit of brown blood when checking my CM this morning. Trying so hard not to read into it, but really hoping it might be IB as I don't usually spot this early for AF. Tender bbs started this morning too. Nothing else really out of the ordinary. Guess we will just wait and see!

 

[shudknow]

Thanks Destiny & Maddy.

Destiny, forgot to ask you, how are the wedding preps going on? I am sure you must be feeling that the tww is flying away hehe...

Maddy, that does sound like IB from whatever I have read from ladies here and elsewhere on the internet. I am keeping my fingers & toes crossed for you. How long is your tww generally and when are you planning to test?

FX'd for both of you! Since both of you are in your tww, I am hoping to hear some good news in a week's time

 

[Destinyk]

Maddy sounds like we did trade! FX this is a good sign!!

Shudknow preps are going well! Only thing left is to buy my reception shoes, make OHs boutonnière (which my grandmother and I are doing saturday), pay for the catering but the order is already placed, pick our wedding favors, place our order for the chair and table rentals and purchase our decorations for the reception and that's pretty much it lol. Thanks for asking everything is so hectic your right the TWW IS flying I can't believe I'm 6dpo already!

 

[Maddy_desie]

Thanks Shudknow and Destiny, I'm hopeful that it will turn into a , but I had some light pink colored cm today and it seems to be a little bit more. It's still scant though and I only see it when I wipe. I am wondering if it is just a really early period. Oh well, the only thing I can do is wait.

Destiny, I took a look at your chart - it looks good! I missed temping for the last two days because I have just been exhausted when waking up and have totally forgotten. Hopefully when I take it tomorrow my temps will still be high! FX for both of us!!!

 

[Maddy_desie]

Well, my temps are still high, but the spotting has increased. What is going on?!

 

[shudknow]

Maddy, sorry if you are feeling a bit frustrated

When you say, your spotting has increased, do you mean you have to wear a pad or tampon? Or does it seem just a tad bit more than what you were seeing yesterday? I would think you are not out until AF shows. From what I have read and heard, IB seems to differ like every other symptom from woman to woman. Some people might have days of spotting before AF, some get confused that it is a lighter AF because it happens exactly during that time, for some it is just a speck when wiped. If the spotting still seems less, I would say you are still in the game.

I will be praying for you.

 

[Maddy_desie]

Thanks. That really does mean a lot to me.

This is nothing like I have ever had before since I started tracking my cycles. Today when I woke up I went to the bathroom and there was a dark brown spotting when I wiped. There was nothing more until later in the morning when I had two spots of bright red blood. I thought for sure the was here. But now, when I wipe - nothing. None of it has been enough to fill a pad or tampon. Not even a panty liner.

I usually spot a day or two before AF, but never this early and not like this. I guess I'll just have to wait it out.

 

[shudknow]

Maddy, you don't have to say thanks. The way I see it we are all in this together

Your spotting still sounds very less to be concerned about. Don't stress about it and try to relax. I know it is wayy easier said than done but you got to try to relax and wait it out. When are you planning to test?

 

[Maddy_desie]

You are right, we are all in this together!

The spotting is a little lighter today, but still here. Temps are stilil up too, so fx this is all just IB. AF is due on Monday, so if she doesn't show by then, I will test.

How are you doing?

 

[shudknow]

Maddy, good to know that your spotting has become lighter. I really hope this is all IB. FX'd!

I am on CD4 today, so nothing much going on at my end. No idea how long/short this cycle is going to be. Also, as I said earlier, I wont be doing any OPKs either since I will be traveling. I am just going to go with temps this cycle.
