CD22 and waiting to O, anyone else?

[Andi86]

yep I only noticed having ewcm once for me too....that was back in May when I got my BFP.

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Cm is seriously a puzzle. I was surprised when I went in for my pap yesterday the doctor said she had to clear the way to my cervix because I had so much cm but she didn't tell me if it was the fertile good stuff or not!

 

[Andi86]

Hmm my temp went down again....guess i didnt O...maybe i am today?

Either that or maybe something was happening to the cysts on my ovaries which caused the temp spike and pain.

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

That's very possible... I hope that if you didn't, that this temp dip is meaning you're O'ing.

 

[Andi86]

Well my left boob is sore today so thats a good sign of O

 

[Andi86]

According to my chart I O'd when I originally thought. I'm 3dpo so the wait begins. Usually my temps go up higher quicker so that's why I didn't think I did. I'm guessing its different because of the Femara. Praying this is our month!

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Cd16 and no pos yet but been getting ewcm hoping to o this weekend because I'm on a 13 hour shift on Monday then will be knackered with work Tuesday early start then finish late Wednesday and then another 13 hour shift Thursday, shift work is going to play havoc with bd at the right time, need to make sure we bd this weekend to cover it. Minimum of a 31 day cycle which takes it to the dame as my shortest cycle, but reckon I'm due around a 33 day one

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Andi - Hey excellent that you O'd when you thought!! Fingers crossed!

Itsnowmyturn - I hope you O soon so you don't have to have a stretched out cycle.

AFM: FF took away my crosshairs so no O for me yet... temps were the lowest I've ever had today but I'm tired of hoping that a low temp is finally my O date.

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Dragonfly have u been to drs? I don't no if I cud keep going how u r if I was in that situation, my heart wud sink every time my temp proved I didn't o. Have u looked into taking anything for ur cycles or even getting some tests?

For me: cd 17 no o, opks still neg, had ewcm for 4 days so based on previous cycles shud be another 3 days, so im probably not going to catch fertile time this cycle. If I do o on cd20 I will have a 34 day cycle. Who thought TTC wud be such s pain x

 

[Andi86]

dragonfly- sorry your crosshairs went away. I can just imagine that's so frustrating for you. I agree you should maybe talk to a doctor about your long cycles if you haven't already. FX you O soon!

Itsnowmyturn- I hear you. TTC is a pain in the ass Way harder then I thought it would be. Never expected the journey to have this many ups and downs. I remember back when I started TTC I was talking to a girl that TTC for 11 months before she got pregnant and I was like "wow that's so long!" now I wish it only took 11 months lol. Anyway sorry to hear you might miss O this time around...it sucks when our schedules just don't work with BD time.

AFM- sore nipples still and gassy today (sorry tmi), other then that no symptoms. I'm only 5dpo though so I`m not expecting much symptom wise. I want to try hard not to symptom spot because I don't want to get my hopes up. But I'm finding it hard not to now that I'm trying something new this cycle.

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Andi ur temp rise is looking good.
Dragonfly I think I read in ur journal that ur waiting until uv been trying a year, I think u shud go now, some drs are happy to get things in motion before a year. Thy can at least say try doing this and this and then if it doesn't work come bk, which is prob what they wud do anyway. I personally intend on going after 6 months n saying I wud like blood work etc to make sure its nothing that can't be fixed medically and then I'm happy to continue for ankther 6 months, in ky mind a year is a long time to be stressing about it particularly if its something that thy cud detect with some bloods. Ppl with regular cycles prob don't havr issues and can understand the year rule but for us with long irregular cycles I think its important to get advice earlier

Afm: been getting ewcm for about 5 days now, shud hopefully o in the next couple of days, although I didn't do opk today. We bd tonight so that shud cover us if o happens between now and Wednesday, not good if it happens thursday tho. Fx
Good luck ladies, prob not bk on until at least wednesday with shifts so speak then xx

Hey ladies:wave:

I hope everyone's doing well. It was my birthday on Sunday so I've been celebrating all weekend lol. But I'm getting back on track. Im on cd7, my last day on Soy, and I should get my pcos test results later this week. I havent been temping or anything. Trying to relax more this cycle.

My donor is on standby so I'll start doing opks and the saliva test tomorrow but fx for a normal o date (or to just o at all lol).

Dragonfly I hope you can confirm o soon. I pray that the dip you got on cd21 was o, so fx!

Same to you mytun, I hope you o soon!

Lots of baby dust for Andi, good luck during the tww

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Melody did i miss that u got af? Glad r on a new cycle now.

I got an almost pos opk which i class as pos because of how iv learnt how my body works, also getting ridiculous o pains, looks like im oing from the right again this cycle, my poor ovaries ache like they've been kicked over and over again.

On the plus side my very long shift in my new job went well, think I'm guna enjoy it

 

[melodyy_mtb]

Yes hun, i'm on cd9 now! I just hope I o this month!

Its so cool that you get o pain. Not for the pain lol but at least you can tell when o is approaching. FX for you this cycle

Andi - I wanted to know if you use opks and does your pcos affect them? My opk's are always kind of positive, like I've just constantly got lh cursing through my body lol.

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Just a quick pop by while I'm on my phone. Melody happy late birthday! I hope birthday and baby wishes come true for you very soon!! Itsnowmyturn sorry to hear that your O pains are so intense, but it's great that you're O'ing!

Still no crosshairs so I have no idea what's going on with me. I should have O'd already so I don't know if I just haven't or if FF is just being a stingy jerk. Lots of CM that's creamy, and I'm hoping that means I'm in the tww.

I hope you ladies are having a good day!

 

[Andi86]

Melody- nope i dont use them for that exact reason. I found it just confused me because I would get positive opk and then according to my temps i wouldnt O. So they were just a waste of money for me. Happy belated birthday btw!

Dragonfly thats crazy you havent O'd yet. Hope u get this all figures out soon.

 

[Andi86]

Warning little rant coming on...Facebook sucks! 2 babies born yesterday, one pregnancy announcement, and a pregnant lady complaining about being a house. Not to mention the numerous shared posts/statuses about being a mother or parent and how wonderful it is. Grrr im boycotting facebook.

 

[melodyy_mtb]

Aww thanks ladies I had a really fun night out for my birthday. I guess that's one good thing to come from that extra long cycle, I could drink! lol.

Dragonfly - I wonder what's going on. To me it looks like you o'd on cd21 but I'm no expert. I hope ff confirms things for you soon!

Andi - Thanks, i thought id ask you as im stuck in this pcos limbo. My bloodwork came back and the Dr wants to see me so I wont know for sure till next week. I always thought opks were good but im beginning to think they're throwing me a lot of false positives.

Aww its so annoying when you see other people's pregnancy announcements online. You want to be 100% happy for them but there's a large part of you that's jealous. Don't worry, we'#ll be the ones making our announcements soon hehe.

I wonder if any of you gals could help me with my temping. Im worried im not getting accurate temps as I always wake in the middle of the night to pee. A lot of the time I wake about an hour before my alarm and cant temp because im bursting for the toilet lol. I've tried not drinking water before bed but i still get up once or twice

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Finally getting some time to catch up...

Andi - 9dpo and your temps are still looking great! Fingers crossed for you I've been avoiding facebook for some time now because I know it just brings me to tears to see all the pregnancy and birth announcements.

Itsnowmyturn - Glad to hear you're liking your new job so far Have you gotten a positive opk yet? Lots of luck!

Melody - I think you should be fine with a brief wake up an hour before your alarm. I'm up and down all night because I have a bladder the size of a small child I usually have to wake up an hour or sometimes two before my alarm to go to the bathroom, but my temps stay about the same whether I get up through the night or not.

AFM: FF *finally* gave me a crosshair, although it's not on the day I expected it to Care to have a look ladies and give me your opinions? So apparently I'm 3dpo now, which I guess would make sense since last night my nipples were on fire with pain - I nearly slept in a tight bra because every time they bumped my night shirt I was ready to shout. If FF is correct on my O date (and who really knows at this point) we bd 2 and 5 days before O day. Not as much as we should have, but once I hit CD21 of no O I kind of gave up. DH has been wanting to bd but I've had no interest at this moment so I'm feeling a bit guilty on that.

 

[Andi86]

Melody- i use this site when i wake up late or early.

This only helps though if u can hold your bladder long enough to temp

Dragonfly glad to hear you finally O'd hope you caught it!
