So got some opks today and nothing. Can't even get a positive on a opk lol x

Lh is such a tricky hormone. I do suggest testing twice a day. Once around 2pm and once around 7 both with a 3-4 hour pee hold.

pic 2 at 1 hour.

This is how all the other tests were. 100% negative without a doubt. Maybe my temp rise was something? Kinda getting my hopes up. Wish i could go for a progesterone test to confirm.

I would say BFN but temp rise is good!!

 

[Aayla]

Took my last test and it was the same as above. Cm went creamy as well. So now I wait. Hopefully my temp will stay up or rise more.

I so don't get all this temp thing haha I must be thick lol!!! R they pregnancy tests or ovulation tests? Xx

 

[Aayla]

What i have been posting are ovulation

with temps: i take my temperature every morning before getting up with a basal body thermometer. When your temperature suddenly rises and stays up above your previous temps it means you ovulated. The day before spike is your O day. So if my temp stays up then it means i ovulated on June 2.

Taking Charge Of Your Fertility is a great book that explains it all.

I take my temp vaginally after at least 3hrs of sleep. I record it in Ovia and FertilityFriend. You can look at my chart in my signature, though its not pretty or exciting.

I think i may switch to vaginal next cycle. I snore and sleep with my mouth open.

Temp dip today so I am pretty sure I didn't O. But I did get a bit of EWCM yesterday. Not alot. Saw it once. I do think getting the cold stopped O again. This is 3 times now. If I get a cold again next cycle I am going to the doc.

Thats why i temp vaginally. I snore and mouth breathe.

I dont know what happened to your chart? It was in your signature.

I took it down while I was playing with stuff and forgot to put it back on. Lol

It was a hot, sunny weekend and Sylvie had her first pool experience! She absolutely loved it! We have an adorable video of her splashing around with her legs and arms in the water. She was just fascinated. And I found the cutest reusable swim diaper and bathing suit! I LOVE that picture of her smiling up at her daddy in her suit! She's going to be such a daddy's girl.

No more opk's. Temp went down. this morning I forgot to temp. But I still have watery, almost EW, CM. It's like my body wants to O but can't. Not sure if it was the cold; which I am really sick of having a cold around O time. This is the 3rd cycle, 2 were on letrozole.

I am just going to keep BDing and wait this out. If af is late I will test. If she comes then I will try one more cycle of Soy. Hopefully I won't get another cold around O. If I do I am definitely going to the doc because it's just not normal to get sick every time ovulation is to happen.

If the second cycle of soy doesn't work for me to O then we go on to IUI. But I am going to insist that they do ultrasounds and do the trigger. I'm not relying on opk's. They are too ambiguous and I just don't find them reliable for me.

Thanks ladies! She just melts my heart!

We had a bit of a rough night last night. I thought that somehow I just had a really really slow flow last night and she was just super hungry and getting frustrated, so I made her a bottle. I guess I was just too tired to notice around 2 am when she wouldn't eat much of the bottle that she was hungry but would start crying after she started sucking. I gave her some pain reliever this morning and she latched on and ate afterward without crying. She even relaxed enough to poop. The only thing I know of that would cause pain with sucking is teething. Is there anything else this could mean? She's been fussier the last few days, chewing on her hands like nobody's business, and sleeping and eating more, so I'm guessing her 4-month growth spurt is on the way.

Sorry things are so confusing Aayla. I hope somehow you manage to o this cycle, but if not keeping fx for next cycle. It's so not helpful when the opks aren't reliable!

 

[pinkpassion]

Lenora I'm no help really because both of my girls exhibited teething signs for months and months and then didn't get their first tooth until the end of 9 months! Growth spurts can cause periods of fussiness and irritability. Also make sure there are no sores in her mouth!! Even if there are no teeth it could still cause discomfort for months!!!

 

[lenorajoy]

I'd definitely prefer those teeth stay under the gums for many months yet! Not looking forward to sharp little teeth being anywhere near my nipples!

I'm sure much of what's going on is growth-related, at least with the extra eating and sleeping. Then there was the diarrhea on Sunday, and yesterday the sitter said her stomach seemed to be bothering her. Poor thing just has a lot of things going on lately.

Hey all. Lenora I hope your little girl is a bit better now?
Hope everyone is OK x
