Good luck onerth! Fx that you O with the trigger

Lenora she is beautiful! Those are great pics that they took. I never get tired of seeing baby pictures

 

[Aayla]

Onerth- my fingers are crossed for you!

August- how are you feeling?

Lenora- how is baby? How are you?

How are our pregnant ladies? Hope all is well.

AFM: i have some pinching on my left side. Very early for that but soy has been known to bring O forward. On a medicated cycle I O between cd 17 and 20. So I would love it if I O'd around cd14-16. Going to pick up some opk's today and start testing.

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

aayla, i did soy in 2009 and got BFP with our angel baby. My 1st cycle taking it.

 

[Aayla]

Oh that is awesome to hear. I have done so much research and there are some great stories. We are keeping it a secret from everyone. Which is so hard. Especially not telling my mom. But if we are successful then I actually get to do a surprise anmouncement. This first cycle testing is just around father's day. It would be so perfect.

 

[Aayla]

DH was laughing so hard at me as I bought these at the dollar store. He refused to help carry any to the checkout. Lol meh. I am good to go to test twice a day up to and including cd17.

 

[Aayla]

Test porn!! First ovulation test. Obviously negative but i likely have a ways to go.

Negative but youll get there soon!! Mine are still : bfn: but i think the next day or 2!

I already told DH, youre on duty for BD this weekend! LOL.

 

[lenorajoy]

Yay for test porn!!! It's been so long since we've had any to look at in here! Looking forward to o and a tww for both of you!

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

My OPK are close, but still BFN.

 

[Aayla]

Fx it happens soon onerth!

Cd 11. Fmu test was negative. As expected. I am goung for an ultrasound today as my doc wants to see if anything is wrong as i had a 6 week period last cycle and it only stopped (sort of as i still had spotting) by going on BC. I am going to ask the tech if she can tell if my ovaries are gearing up to O. I doubt she will say anything as they usually aren't allowed to interpret anything. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

Last cycle i had to take Provera to bring AF! I had a non stop AF in Dec, then Jan 20-31 I had AF and NOTHING until May 10!! It would have stayed missing had i not done anything.

 

[Aayla]

I have had to use provera. Hate it. Makes me crazy. Not even my anti depressants can stave off the side effects and i am on a decent dose of those lol.

I did 10mg for 10 days. Of course i was outside the normal " 3-5 days later youll get AF"...mine was 12d later. I had side effects the first few days and it was insomnia and gastro type things.

 

[Aayla]

Well she couldn't tell me if I was close to O. Oh well. Just have to keep peeing on a stick lol

So frustrated this cycle. I have wonky cycles to start with and we've been trying 3 months now. Last cycle ended up being 39/40 days and right now I'm at 31 days and feeling pretty crampy the last 2 weeks. I'm at a loss as to whether i've even ovulated this cycle (no EWCM at all), but I've definitely had the usual ovulation feeling cramps. I think I need to get a good thermometer and start keeping track. I really want a baby and frustrated that I have no idea where I am in my cycle as it varies. Previous month before last was 35 days. I've been anywhere from 31 days to 45 days! I we BDed throughout 2 -3 weeks but just have no idea if anything is possible at this point. Right now I'm getting pretty intense waves of cramps and feels like AF is coming all of the sudden.

If there's no EWCM, is it still possible to ovulate? I got it in previous cycles, but this time was just slightly watery the one day and rest of the time has been just dry-ish.

Thoughts?

You can have EWCM and not O and you can have nothing and O. Theres no rule set in stone for either way.

I would ask for a progesterone blood test on 7 days past possible O. Anything over 5 means you Od. (if youre in the US).

-------------------------
Im beginning to wonder if Im going to O myself this cycle!! I was all excited and then today I felt like " You are crazy! Its never going to happen!"

Welcome! Like Onerth said, it's very possible to o and have no signs of ewcm or to have ewcm and no o. If only our bodies stuck to "normal" cycles and never varied! All of our lives would be so much easier. Watery cm is also good cm, though!

You could start with using opks if AF arrives this cycle. Those will at least tell you if you're having the LH surge to lead up to o. Temping certainly can't hurt unless it stresses you out, so I'd say go for it! At the very least it will help you figure out where you are in your cycle. Have you talked to your doctor about your irregular cycles? They may be able to help you regulate them.

Don't listen to those lies, Onerth!

Is your ticker accurate and you're 9 days past when you think you may have o'd?
