Well looking how my cycles have lengthened it looks like we've been getting ovulation wrong,so gonna change the days we dtd,hopefully that'll help:dohh:
 
Hi ladies! Sorry I've been MIA. How is everyone? Any BFPs or +OPKs happening?

I'm set to O this week on DH's birthday (the 24th) so I will probably test on November 3rd if I'm feeling brave (probably sooner knowing me).

I got new wonfo's in, so I have a few sitting around and I'll use them first :P I just hope that this month is it, because with my O date of the 24th, that'd put me due around the middle of July and my birthday is the 13th. Perfect present for both DH and I.

You already know my feelings about this... if your temp is still up in the neighborhood it moved to this morning and you aren't sick by Wednesday. I vote for a :test:

And for me... my OPKs have started getting darker again so... thinking a new surge is imminent and FX for actual ovulation this time. And... IF that happens, I'll test 10/31, just to be an October tester, even if I'm only like 1 DPO by then.

Haha, that made me laugh. I will only be 5dpo probably on the 31st but I don't know if I can hold off until November to start testing!
 
I'm not sure if I O'd or not. My temps have risen, but I've been having a weird time with the OPKs this cycle. I only had EWCM for one day, right on schedule for when I normally get it in my cycle. But I usually have more of it and for more than one day. I got two different types of OPKs this cycle, both generic rite aid brands. One kind is a dipstick, and the other is a midstream with a plastic case. The dipstick kind says to use FMU, and the midstream one says test between 10AM and 8PM.

Well, my FMU dipstick showed positives a few times. And, being a teacher, it was really hard for me to run to the ladies room for the other type of OPK (plus, I had to act like a spy trying to smuggle the test in and out of the bathroom without holding it in any position that would disturb the test to get it back to the closet where I keep my purse in my classroom).

DH and I have just been BDing every other day to make sure we hit my fertile time. Ovufriend says I O'd on CD 16 (the 17th) according to my temps, but I wasn't so great about taking them at the same time each morning. Some days it was 4:45 and other days it was 7 am. Ay yah ya-y. (sp?).

Some days I just feel like I'm doing this wrong, lol.
 
My entire cycle is usually about 32 days. I quit smoking mid-August and that apparently can cause one's body to go ret*rded, which mine has for the past two cycles (this one being exceptionally worse). I had a positive OPK last week, too, but no temp rise. And this morning's temp rise was from hardcore partying until 3 AM with a lot of alcohol, so it doesn't mean anything. So I'm keeping my FX this positive OPK is followed by ovulation and a legit temp shift... but not holding my breath at this point!
 
I've got fingers and toes crossed for you. I've had some 60 day cycles and they suuuuuuuck.

How did you quit smoking? Cold turkey? I quit once before for 2 years and then we bought a house that ended up falling down faster than we could repair and my husband left me [work] alone to deal with it and I picked it back up again.

I'm thinking about giving it a full on re-attempt here once I kill this last pack that's burning a hole in my purse.
 
Looking forward to seeing what your temps too in the next few days!

Love the witch- I'm hoping that is what mine is doing- lurking around, ready to attack!
 
It looks like AF has come and spared me the need for progesterone pills, so Fx I'll O in Nov and be able to participate in the Nov testing thread!

I went with an e-cig / personal vaporizer. I can't use the nicotine gum because I have braces and can't use patches, because it burns my skin (and scars me for a week each time I wear one for a day)... I don't use the grade you buy at gas stations. I have the large battery with the refillable tank type. I started at 18 mg of nicotine and have dropped it to 14 mg so far (I am keeping a schedule dropping it 2 mg every 4 weeks, so will be dropping it to 12 in two weeks and so on). I like being able to gradually wean myself off the nicotine without continuing to expose myself to the 1000's of other chemicals in cigarettes. Be aware it may jack up your cycles. I found dozens of ladies on message boards (not TTC ones) who were asking about late/skipped periods after quitting smoking... it delays ovulation. And I don't really buy the "stress of quitting" - I have had almost zero withdrawal since going to vapor (that being the point) and do the reductions small and gradually, so my body can adjust to each change fully, before doing another decrease. If you want more information about them, just let me know. I have even been able to sit in smoke-filled bars next to chain smokers and I don't miss it at all. I no longer smell like an ashtray, all of my tastebuds are back, as is my sense of smell. I know nicotine is still a nervous and cardiovascular stimulant, but I'm getting less and less over time (eventually will have none) and this has by far been my least stressful quit ever. 9 weeks as of yesterday and not even remotely interested in picking regular cigarettes back up!

Thank GOD. I can't believe how happy I was to see your update!
 
I have a friend who's mom who got prego each time she quit smoking. For some women it's the trick never heard of quitting messing up cycles though. I'm trying to quit too but so far not much luck with it. I have heard a lot of people say smoking effects ttc but I know lots of women who've gotten pregnant and smoke waay more than I do. Anyways good luck with the quitting & lots of babydust :dust:
:dust:
 
Seriously, if it was this exciting to get AF, how exciting am I going to be to have a definite O, or BPF or an actual baby??
 
@Jett: Google "quit smoking missed period" or "quit smoking late period" - it will keep you busy for hours and it's not because they are pregnant!

Here's a bit about why it's bad to smoke, even while TTC: https://www.fertilityneighborhood.com/content/in_the_news/archive_1254.aspx

And what smoking does in terms of the menstrual cycle:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9916957

I'm not judging, BTW. I smoked for the first ten months we were TTC.
 
Thanks Clande.. I'm def trying to quit & especially if I get a bfp that'd be the biggest kick to quit. Thinking about getting an electric cig once I have extra money. I've even got hubs picking up the habit here & there again so I'm thinking it's about time to really lean towards quitting I'm just scared I'm going to go insane I'm already very bitchy without a cig so idk what to expect :)
 
I smoked for the first 2.5 years of ttc,tried a few times to quite but November last year I stopped for good,we bought the e cigs.best invention ever!!
Now hubby is using a vapour one,I don't need them anymore :-)
