Cycle Buddies? CD 7!

[bpberger]

Looking for cycle buddies...which may be hard because I have irregular cycles...but maybe someone lines up with me for at least part of this cycle. I'm CD 7 today. Really hopeful about this cycle and I'm praying for a BFP this cycle.

 

[Kaymumof2]

Good luck this cycle, hope you get your BFP! I'm currently on CD11 so a little ahead of you but I don't mind comparing notes if you don't

 

[bpberger]

I don't mind Kaymumof2!

 

[Kaymumof2]

I don't mind Kaymumof2!

Ok great! How long have you been ttc?

 

[bpberger]

We have been trying since March. How about you?

 

[Kaymumof2]

Hi sorry for late reply! This is our first cycle of trying ttc #3 so Im not convinced it will happen anytime soon. Have you ov yet? I got positives late afternoon on tuesday on ic then blazing positives on wednesday morning from ic and cb smiley test. Now on cd 15 and ic are a little bit lighter today so I assume ov is over but not sure? I get really confused and never know when to say I'm 1dpo lol how have you been getting on?

If you ladies don't mind me joining... I'm actually right in line with you, bpberger!

CD 11 today. I started what seemed to be a failed ovulation attempt at like CD 7. This is actually "normal" for me, as I have gotten positive OPKs before but didn't ovulate until a week or two later. I'm hoping for the best though. My temps have been a little weird but so have my sleeping habits.

How are you two ladies doing today?

 

[bpberger]

I've been having EWCM over the past few days. My temps have been all over but I've also been a tad under the weather. Today I'm extremely moody. Like everything is irritating me. We've been sticking to BDing every 2-3 days so I'm hoping that's enough. I decided to not use OPK strips this round because they just stress me out. Hoping for some BFPs for everyone in a few weeks.

 

[Robynxo]

I hope you feel better! I was overly stressed recently and luckily, it has subsided.
Every other day for BD seems to be the best way to go. Gives him some time to have strong and healthy sperm without having to DTD every day and without waiting too long in between so you should be covered.
EWCM is good! I wish I had it. I haven't seen it yet for me at all so I hope taking EPO helps. I have a good feeling for this month and hopefully if it doesn't happen, my positive outlook will continue. Baby dust to you!

 

[Kaymumof2]

Hi ladies so my ics are definitely not as dark now. Not positives anymore so I think ov is over for m. That said I've still be cramping today and have a alot of cm so no idea what is going on! I've been bd every other night although have done a few nights in a row too lol so just hoping I'm covered! Baby dust to both of you! X

 

[Robynxo]

Sounds promising so far. I'm not too sure about what CM is like after O, but I'm hoping that tracking consistently will get me to a point where I know my body. Off of the top of my head, I don't believe I dry up immediately after O, so still having fertile CM sounds quite normal to me. As far as cramping, I'm getting it this cycle so fingers crossed it is a good thing. Good luck in your TWW, KayMumOf2!

 

[Kaymumof2]

Me too. I'm not expecting a bfp this cycle. I'm kinda just trying to work out when I ov etc so I'll know in future and save myself getting so confused! I don't even know when I'll be 1dpo. I'm wondering if that's today/tomorrow as opks are negative now whereas on tuesday cd14 they were blazing positive and a smiley on cb digi.

 

[Robynxo]

Hmmm... I have heard you have like 24-48 hours until ovulation from the first positive OPK, and then the positive tests should last for like a day, but I am not too sure how normal that is. The last time I did OPKs, it wasn't true ovulation, so I am still waiting to see what that's like when I really ovulate. I do know the positive smiley faces lasted two mornings before it went negative that one time. It can be such a learning curve at first... I hope we both figure it out. It can be soo confusing.

 

[Kaymumof2]

I know its sooo confusing and mind boggling. We dtd last night and have done it almost every night since cd3. I would of thought dtd tonight would be a good idea but dh is exhausted practically falling asleep standing up lol I'm so worried I'm going to miss my window if we don't bd. But not fair to make hubby when he is so tired. Think I'm out this month 😟

 

[bpberger]

Sorry, I haven't been posting. Things have been crazy. I've been cramping here and there but nothing terrible. I hope we are covered and that things look up.

 

[bpberger]

Woke up around 4 this morning throwing up. It's too early for this to be a symptom isn't it? I mean I'm only CD 14 but according to my CM I would have ovulated really early this cycle. My temps are really unreliable so I can't even use those to confirm. I really don't know what to think. How are you ladies doing?

 

[Robynxo]

Oh, no! That sounds terrible.

CD 14 is awfully early, I hope you aren't sick! Progesterone is often what causes symptoms, so even if you did ovulate early, you would only be a couple of DPO. And usually symptoms start to appear after implantation, but of course, everyone is different. Do you still have fertile CM or has that gone now?

As for me, I got positive OPK yesterday, and it is negative today. Still waiting for a temp rise though. Nothing too profound really. I hope it goes better for you.

Fertile fluid ended a few days ago...I wonder if I just ate something funny or if my supplements are messing with me. IDK, but its not fun.

 

[Kaymumof2]

Hope your feeling ok bpberger!

I think I'm about 3/4dpo but think I'm out. Apparently if you havent conceived your cm goes sticky after ov and mine is a little sticky. Sorry for tmi. So I'm feeling really down right now. I guess testing is a waste of time this month

 

[Kaymumof2]

Good luck to both of you! Really hope you get bfp
