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

[1cre8tivgrl]

Still waiting to ov, no sign of EWCM yet, it has thinned out a lot though, almost like water, but still not stretchy and I usually get that little twinge of ov pain the day of which I have not...yet. Starting to worry cause DH is leaving Friday for a week (to go moose hunting up north) and I only have 1 more shot at winning the roulette this month, if I don't ov till this weekend I am out for the month I should though right, if I got a positive OPK yesterday? Its got to be right around the corner....I hope! I'm running out of time!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Hmm...I have been having dull cramping, period like cramps for the last hour, do any of you think this might be a sign I am ovulating right now?? The twinges I normally get don't feel like cramps, more like a stabbing pain so I'm wondering what this is...ovulation, maybe???? Any of you get anything like this when you ov?

 

[msTwiggy]

usually when I have period-like cramps, i'd get my period either the very same day or the next day. have no idea how ovulation-cramps are like. then again, i was never sure if i ovulated or not in the first place, hehehe..

1cre8tivgrl, that OPK you took the other day looked awfully positive to me. You might have got it at the beginning of the surge and that is why your temps haven't jumped yet. Just keep and you will catch that eggy.

Oh boy do I get OV pains, so much say I want to double over and just lie in a ball when it hits. It can last anywhere from 24 -48 hours. Last cycle they hit me and I wanted to cry. It was never that painful.

Mel - Sometimes you can OV late so don't stress. As long as you know when and you at the right times it will be ok.

I JUST WANT TO !!!!
TONIGHT WE JUST HAVE TO!!!!! (now I got that off my chest)

 

[Nlytin]

Jai-Jai, I like that shoot-up in temperature. Hoping it stays there!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

we early this morning so I hope I caught the egg!! Crossing my fingers! Thanks everyone

 

[Gabrielle]

lucky duck 1cre8tivgirl!!!!!!! we didnt bd this morning but we did an hour after my positive opk! going to try and bd tonight when i get home from work! so when are we going to start going into the 2ww??

Fingers crossed for YOu and me!!!!!!!!! HUGS

 

[mel82]

you guys I'm so confused!!! I think my opks from cd14 were positive! They just weren't as strong as last cycle but they're the same color as the control line. That means I ovd yesterday but it was confusing because my temps didn't drop like they normally do before ov. What do you think? Look at my bbt chart, today I recorded 98.2 and yesterday(andthe day before) I had 97.6.
Can I still had ovd without a drop of temp??

 

[Gabrielle]

sorry mel im no good at charting, as i dont do it nor do i temp. i didnt want to read and run. if the control line was the same as the test line then its positive. In my mind i would say you havent o'd yet and that you are really close to it. thats why you temps havent dropped yet. remember an opk tells you that you will probly O 12 to 48 hours after the first posiitve.....so assuming you are right there! whats your cm like right now hun? have you done anymore opks yet?

Sorry im not much help in this charting dept but good luck sweeite ..hopefully we all O'd or are soon and will catch that eggy!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK sweetie hUGS

 

[Gabrielle]

btw mel how long are you cycles???? im cd 16 too!

 

[mel82]

my cycles had always been of 28 days but the last one was 32 (?)
I think I already ov yesterday because of my high temp today. Not sure though. Opks feom yesterday were both negative. This is so nerve wracking!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

lucky duck 1cre8tivgirl!!!!!!! we didnt bd this morning but we did an hour after my positive opk! going to try and bd tonight when i get home from work! so when are we going to start going into the 2ww??

Fingers crossed for YOu and me!!!!!!!!! HUGS

well assuming these were our ov pains than I would say our 2ww would start tomorrow, right?

mel - I would say go by your bodys temps and not the OPKs, you could have gotten a bad batch, or ones that are not sensitive enough to pick up your surge. I have heard though that your body temps are much more accurate than any OPK reading, sorry I don't chart temps so I'm not much help there either, just telling you what I've read and I read a LOT!!!

 

[Gabrielle]

yeah mel...i agree go by you body temps! much more accurate! good luck hun!

1cre8tivgirl_ ...i only have minor cramps..but some more cm...which i think is the fertile stuff! going to bd tonight and then going to start say dpo starting tom or friday?...if this cycle is 30 days then i will probly o tomorrow...? going to keep doing opks!
OHHHHHH i hope its our month ladies!!!!! HUGS have a good day/night?!

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

Hey check this site out Gabrielle, I think we were right https://www.epigee.org/menstruation/mittelschmerz.html
better get DH in the mood again tonight! LOL

 

[Nlytin]

Mel - I third that in regards to the body temps. FF won't let you know when you OV'd until you get 3 above coverline temps. If your OPK gave you a positive then keep at it. You are going to OV.

Gabrielle & 1cre8tivgrl - Good job with the BD. That is my plan for tonight and for the next 5 days.

Gabrielle - you go into the 2WW after you OV so you will probably be in it before you realize it.

Hi Ladies, gosh our little thread really grew today. That was quite a read!!
Welcome msTwiggy and best of luck with getting a

Jai-Jai, with or with out the stay at your Gran I reckon you stand a good chance of getting your very own this cycle.
Cramps and sore boobs, this is what I remember from my first few weeks of being preggas Best of luck.

Mel & Gabrielle, you are really lucky to have seen your surge hope the little swimmers worked their majic.

I seem to be a bit like 1cre8tvgrl, I haven't gotten a +opk and the EWCM is a distant memory along with the ovulation cramps I got used to recognising.
Mine used to feel a bit like a stitch or sometime make me think my apendix was playing up if it was really bad, but this cycle nothing.
We have been every second day and every day since Saturday. Going to try and get in one more and then only when the mood arises during the two week wait.

From about tomorrow onwards, we are all just going to have to sit back and wait. Hope time flys.

 

[Jai_Jai]

Thanks Debs I couldn't have said all that better myself - looks like we are all migrating over to the 2ww eeeeeeeeeek!!! lets hope its a weally weally quick 2 weeks - aaaaaaah i am nervous!!! I hope so this month so much for all of us with our impending

 

[DebsHopeful]

I have a storey to tell you. I just have to share it with someone.

I have been taking my temperature the past few days and feeking my self out completely because it keeps telling me that I am a cold hearted b*tch.

Damn thing just stays really low like between 36.0 C and 36.2 C (sorry girls I don't know Farenheit). When I did my BBT charting last time around I only did it for two months and both times my temperature was normal, around 36,6and dropping down to 36 just before ovulation and then happily working its way up.

But not this month. Well why.......I have just seen there is an air bubble in the mercury - what a bug! Well at least I am not a cold hearted b*tch but it does mean that if I need to chart again I will have to go out and buy another one.
