Cycle Buddy Wanted *UPDATE* Cycle 2 CD Oct 20 (Cycle 1 Cd1 22 Sept)

[DebsHopeful]

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and getting as much nookie as you can.
DH and I BD yesterday morning and today and it was wonderful.

MsTwiggy, I am also curious which side of the test is the reference line and which line is yours? Must admit though I have never had either line appear so dark, OPKs just don't work for me, funny thing that I am!!!! If you can, maybe you can post your one from today and we can see how things are progressing, it is almost as exciting as looking at a positive pregnancy test. POAS, oh how great it is!!!!!!

Gabrielle, I must say, I thought I knew how to read these temps but must admit I am becoming less convinced. I keep comparing my temps to my chart I did last time around when I got pregnant. That cycle was nice and easy to read and rather text book, but this cycle I am going up a bit and then down a bit and only time will tell what it is going to do next. I am also sticking around the 97.5 F mark but expecting a big dip either tomorrow or Tuesday.

I think I got the hormone in the injection wrong, I think I am going to be injected with HCG tonight not Lutenizing Hormone, but I will confirm with the gynea.
If it is HCG, I suppose I will have to ask when I can take a pregnancy test without getting a false positive. I have asked some of the girls on the site and they reckon it should be out of my system in a week. If this is the case I am going to POAS on Friday 14th November, which will be 10DPO so I might get a correct reading.
If it is positive, I hopefully see my gynea on the 21 November or at some stage the week after. I went at 5w3d last time around and got to see the little yok sac, no heart beat at this stage obviously but it is reassuring to see it isn’t stuck in a fallopian tube.

I think I might be oozing just a bit too much PMA and should probably be a little more realistic since the odds are still far from 100% with AI.

PS: I checked in with our Mel and sadly she lost her little bean on Thursday, just aweful.
If you want to pop by her journal and give her a hug, I am sure she will appreciate it although it unfortunately won’t change anything.

 

[Gabrielle]

Thanks Debs for the update, i saw that too, i wrote her a pm...im so sad for her.

So today...my temp was 97.2...so a dip big time, and also have tons of EWCM, so O must be on its way??? Does that sound good? we bd last night, and im at work today so will make sure i do sometime tonight! I will also take an opk when i get home to see what it says! Gosh i hope i catch this eggy. I knew i'd get crazy around this time!! haha...if i think about it, this is are FIRST actual month of trying, like really trying ...last two months were kinda preventing and opks...so hoping this will be it!

How is everyone ..miss you all HUGS

 

[DebsHopeful]

That dip looks text book good, "do your thing hunny!!!" and we will look forward to seeing what your temps do tomorrow. You also have the ewcm so all you need now is your positive opk and you have a home run

 

[babymojo]

hi everyone i'm CD4 and ready this month for a good luck to everyone!!! woohoo let's get some this month

 

[msTwiggy]

Gabby and Debs, sorry forgot to put in enough info, LOL, got too excited I guess. The line by the arrow is my line (test line) and the line on the right is the reference line

Didn't manage to test yesterday as I was too busy rushing here and there, but will do one today, just to see, hehehhe..

Gabby, wow, great looking chart so far! I've given up on temping again this round, i seem to be waking up several times in the middle of the night, so can't get right temps.

Des, thanks for the update on Mel, the poor thing.. I'll be dropping her a note soon. And good luck at your gynea's, hope all goes well, keep us updated on your status!

Nlytin? Eveyrone else? How are things?

 

[Gabrielle]

Wow Ms twiggy, thats a nice looking postive opk then! I hope you did all the bding you could!? Sooo do you think you O'd today..or tomorrow at the lastest!?
Debs, thanks..i hope so, the thing is i had another negative opk today...shouldnt it be positive if i have EWCM??? I'm confused....
GOod luck tomorrow at the gynea, i have my fingers crossed for you!

Hope everyone is doing good, miss you all!

 

[Gabrielle]

Also..what does the closed and opened circles mean on FF??What should my temps do tomorrow??

 

[msTwiggy]

Wow Ms twiggy, thats a nice looking postive opk then! I hope you did all the bding you could!? Sooo do you think you O'd today..or tomorrow at the lastest!?
Debs, thanks..i hope so, the thing is i had another negative opk today...shouldnt it be positive if i have EWCM??? I'm confused....
GOod luck tomorrow at the gynea, i have my fingers crossed for you!

Hope everyone is doing good, miss you all!

Thanks Gabby!
Unfortunately, we only managed to BD on the very day I tested +ve (Saturday), all plans for Sunday went down the drain as a series of unplanned emergencies happened.

I think I might have O'd already today, but I'm not sure? I'll test again around the same time this afternoon and see if I still get a +ve. If not, then the 2ww might have started already for me!!

Will keep you updated!

And sorry can't help much on your temping chart, I'm about as clueless as a doorknob!

 

[Gabrielle]

Is it Monday by you??...its only sunday night here..!

Emergencies...i hope everythings ok! Good luck..and hope you O tomorrow..so you get your bding in today! Talk to you soon

 

[DebsHopeful]

Wow MsTwiggy! That is most definitely a positive OPK, how exciting. I hope you catch that egg, don't give up BDing just yet.

Jai_Jai, how you doing today? Are you going to test with an OPK today?

R, how is the 1st Trimester going? Not long until you hear the heartbeat. Have you got your first appointment booked?

1stBaby, I took a look at your chart and you DH is one lucky man!!!!!!!!!

Bebe, we haven't heard from you in a while? Is your DH still away a lot?

Welcome Babymojo, you are about a week behind us like Srm0421. Good luck girls



Nlytin, any news your side?

 

[msTwiggy]

Ok ladies, have just tested with an opk and results have come back negative (pic attached). So I guess my 2ww begins today (or tomorrow). Either way, BDing from today forth will be just for fun

It's quite unfortunate that I only managed to BD just once during the +ve time. Wish I could have squeezed in more time. Oh well, perhaps that one time might have done the trick. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Good luck to the rest of you girls, let's catch us that BFP!!!

 

[Gabrielle]

Good morning girls!

Twiggy, dont worry remember it only needs to be the one time to do the trick!! And you used preseed right??? OOh good luck sweetie, and im so excited your in the 2ww!!!!

Debs how are things looking for you so far???

Ok so this morning i woke up took my temp..and it was 98.0! So it spiked alot! My cp seems higher, and opened...and still have the EWCM, now question..last night my opk was negative, am i Oing now or not yet? I will take one later today to see what it says...i just figured if im oing now that it would have been positive yesterday? Plus the last couple of cycle when i didnt temp and just did opks, they werent positive untill cd 15...? ANy advice would be great! What should my temps do now...?

How is everyone else, jai jai, Nyltin, Bebe....who ever else i forgot???

Hope everyone is not stressing and enjoying baby making!!!

 

[Gabrielle]

So i took an opk...even though its only 630am..lol, and this is what i got...what do you think? ...
yesterdays was just a faint faint line and todays in real life is just a tad lighter than the control...with my temps and this am i oing now..or going too soon?

the test line is on the left and control line on the right....

 

[msTwiggy]

oh dear, can't quite see the picture clearly on my screen here, but from what i can make out, seems like it's on the way to a positive?

 

[Gabrielle]

Thanks ...yeah its really blurry...but i think its almost positive...so i'll just make sure i bd tonight again!....we didnt this morning but did last night...darn i wish i would have asked for it this morning!!! ah, oh well right!

 

[Gabrielle]

Added a better pic of my opk...

 

[Nlytin]

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. And for those of us with little ones. I hope you had a great time with them.

Nothing much to report over here. I didn't get to BD at all this weekend. It really wasn't on my mind until last night and by the time I got in bed OH was tired and didn't feel like fighting him to get up and service me. LOL! I will make sure we do it tonight. I'm also going to start taking my OPKs today. I got a question, though. I know they say to drink lots of water to help with your EWCM and they say it's best to take the OPK with midday day urine, but if I drink my 8 glasses of won't that dilute the hormone that I'm testing for. I hope that made sense.

MsTwiggy - I don't know if you were BDing before that but when you got your first positive you are suppose to OV in the next 2 days I believe so don't lose hope. Having sex in your fertile period is good even if it just once. Plus with the Preseed, it sounds good to me!

Gabrielle - Here is what FF said about open circles:
Open Circles and Dots:
If something in the data indicates that the temperature may be slightly inaccurate (either by events selected in the Special data area or by a time difference larger than normal), the temperature is plotted using a circle instead of a dot. Please note that these points do not need to be discarded. The circle will just indicate to the reader areas on the chart where the data may be less accurate.
Seems like your body is setting you up to O and now with the + OPK start with that BDing everyday (if possible).

I'm so sorry to hear about Mel. I am going to send her a message.

 

[1stbaby]

Well I am almost 100 percent positive I got a pos opk this morning, and if not then i am sure tomorrows will be. I am much better at ease knowing I will ov on time this month now. OH and I are going to bd tonight again, i am giving him a break from the weekend haha to build some more swimmers, I may have exhausted him this weekend, but it was so much fun!! By the way for those of us temping and the time changed, now we have to take our temp an hour earlier. I did the research this morning and turns out there is a big difference. I dont mind because I can take my temp and then go back to sleep for a bit but just thought I should share that. I hope this is our month girls!
