Hoping to O around the 15th, testing at the end of November!

[Angel wings13]

Ok, so I finally joined Fertility friend! It took awhile on my phone to enter all my data! I've been keeping a journal since my miscarriage. Even though I'm on CD 18, it doesn't think I have ovulated yet. All my OPKs were negative, and I used my last one yesterday. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that my cycle hasn't gone back to normal yet. Technically, this is my first cycle since my mc. All my other mc's went back to normal by the next cycle - but those were chemical pregnancies, so I guess they didn't mess my system up too bad. I'm hoping that's a GOOD thing - further proof that this recent mc is totally un-related to my others. Just bad luck and a random chromosome abnormality that most likely happened during cell division, like the doc thinks. I hope I'm not just telling myself that. I really do think that the others were most likely caused by my severe hyperthyroidism (from the grave's disease).... thyroid issues can cause fertility issues.
But my recent bloodwork shows that all my levels are where they should be. I just hope I even ovulate this month. With one ovary, it's definitely possible for me to not ovulate every cycle. However, back before I was on BC, I felt my ovulation almost every month. Apparently, when you have one ovary, it can go either way - very few women actually alternate which ovary produces an egg every month.... it's more likely that you have no pattern at all, it's just random. As for women like me, with one ovary, the one ovary can "pick up the slack" and release an egg almost every month. I wonder if this shortens how long I will be fertile for in my life, or if over time I will ovulate less and less. IDK, I'm just in a blah sort of mood today.
IF I'm reading FF correctly, it looks like it thinks I will ovulate 11/21 - is that what the green square means?? I have a green square marked for 11/21....?? So BDing tonight would be a great idea, but my OH has to work late tonight .... so I'll be tired/cranky, he'll be tired... probably won't be in the mood

I think I am ovulating today or tomorrow. FF gave me a line but I think its wrong. I also got up close and personal with my cervix today. It felt squishy and high and yet another positive opk.

At least you are on top of BDing so you should be good my dear!!! Keep it up!!!

lol if it doesnt kill me!
There is no way I am missing my window. The only concern I am having right now is a reduced sperm count but we are going for broke this month.

LOL@ up close and personal.... when I chart my CM, I go by what I see when I wipe, but it has made me wonder if what I see when I wipe is actually indicative of what my CM was doing the day before, and by the time I see it, it's "coming out". I should probably do the real check, but for some reason it makes me squeamish... IDK why exactly. Maybe because I associate that with pain and getting a pap or something.

Maybe I can get my fiance to check for me !

I didn't read everything from my last post yesterday up til my post today - did I miss anything?? Any new positive OPKs?? Or pos HPTs???

 

[Angel wings13]

@ TMonster - even if you are BDing a lot, and might be reducing sperm count, at least you know the spermies will be fresh, strong, and new!!! Quality can be better than quantity!! Good luck!

 

[Angel wings13]

Ok, I read through a lot more on ff... So yes, it is predicting my ovulation in 3 days.

However this is going off of my post m/c 41 day cycle, and the fact that I ovulated on 10/14.

Soooo, I either ovulated right around the 14th, or I should ovulate wed or thursday. A turkey day ovulation! I said I wouldn't buy another opk, maybe just one more small set
Gotta feed that addiction somehow! Plus it's not AS depressing as a negative hpt...
And I would love a clear cut answer to SOMETHING! LOL

Plan for this week: bd tomorrow and thursday, at the very least wednesday, and all 3 if I can

Oh may work late tonight, and I work tomorrow night, but not that late, I will make sure we dtd tomorrow!

A september baby would be nice... It's a few months seperated from all other b days,lol.

I see this thread is dying down, hopefully it will pick back up towards the end of the month!

Hi this morn 5dpo. Temp still up praying maybe for implantation but with my son I had it the exact day I expected my period. Patiently waiting for 10 dpo so I can test but I may test on Friday cause I cant wait anymore!!!

Yesterday the only strange thing that happrned is that I had to take a nap just after lunch time very unusual for me.

 

[despereaux]

Hi all, my boobs are sore today but I usually get bigger and sore boobs days before my period start and my period is due next week end. I also had some pain twinges on my left lower abdominal area last night. Weird but could be either way. I didn't have any early symptoms from my 1st or 2nd daughters so I won't be surprised if I get my period next week.

GL Angel wings!

I'm either 4 or 6 dpo and cranky. I think I'm just stressed and I hate that.

Woke up at 3:30 this morning because of the wind and had trouble getting back to sleep. Sounded like my house was going to fly away.

Why is it when it's the middle of the night you wake up, BAM!! Wide awake. But when the alarm goes off, my eyes won't work and the bed is so much warmer and comfier than before?

LOL no kidding

Yeah since I can't seem to figure out when O is actually happening, next month's strategy is to BD every day between CD 11-20!

Let's just hope none of us have to do another cycle of this... for everyone!!!!!

 

[AnakeRose]

Sigh, my FF chart still hasn't pinpointed an ovulation date because my temp hasn't gone up after the big dip I had at CD14. Has anyone else had this and still had a BFP? Not feeling very hopeful right now

 

[FTMommy01]

Im starting to get so discouraged ladies, testing is only 10 days away and I have NO symptoms!!! I know this may not mean anything but I just feel like my body should be telling me SOMETHING! UGH, how is everyone else with symptoms? Normally I at least make up symtpoms in my head, and THATS not even happening

Thanks B mike!
Ha! I almost said thanks BM to abbreviate, but didn't like how that looked!

I know EXACTLY what you mean! Especially if it's cold - nothing like turning off the alarm and saying nevermind, I'm sleeping anothe hour or 2!

So....once again, I have a weird full uterus feeling, I just don't get it. My body is all out of whack, it's upsetting as I have known exactly what goes on in my body since I was like 16! Thats half my life!

Now that I am on ff, I think I will place the blame on them,lol.

I have a question about EWCM, if someone doesn't mind answering...

My cm has been clear, slippery, but thin and very small in quanity.

Just before my last pregnancy, I had FOR SURE EWCM.... Tmi alert: it was a LOT, and literally looked like I cracked an egg open, and wiped it up with toilet paper! Idk if I mentioned it on this thread, but it was SO much and I have NEVER had that type or amount of stuff come out of me before! I googled it to find out what it was! Any how, the cm I described above, I feel like doesn't exactly meet criteria of ewcm, but it's not sticky or watery either, so I went ahead and marked it on my chart as ewcm... Is that ok do you think? I want my chart accurate.

Another dumb question: in the notes section on ff, I'm assuming that part is for us and the program doesn't "read" or pick up key words in it, right? It just uses temps, BDs, and CM? Sorry, this is all new to me!

I really do hope that ff is correct and I O on turkey day! I actually know the exact conception dates of my 2 boys, and that was in my 20s, and I didn't even need a chart!

Lol @ make up symptoms in your head!

Maybe it's a good sign!

With about half my pregnancies, I "just knew". I knew with my first, knew with my first 2 chem pregnancies, and sorta knew with my recent - not right away with the recent, but my cycles were still messed up from quitting bc, and was not surprised to find a bfp when I took the test. (all 3 of the tests,lol)

With my youngest son, I had no early symptoms, except cramping, but I thought it was pms, I didn't think I was pregnant at all. However, since I was so regular back then, when I didn't get my period that sunday, by monday morning I "knew", just because for like 10 yrs I got AF every 4 sundays. Otherwise it was a big surprise!

So don't worry about no early symptoms. Look at all the women who don't know they are pregnant till like 4 months! Fingers crossed!

Well my temp dipped down way today, but DH and I were up chatting in bed this am and I forgot to temp. I took it an hour late. Hoping that was the case, so I discarded it on my chart. Ooops. I am out of OPKS today so I'll have to go buy some to feed my addiction since I hope I o'ed on the CD11-13 otherwise I have no clue. Hoping my cycle is on track and isn't some weird long cycle or something. Fingers crossed ladies.

PS- I have no signs or anything. Feel perfectly fine now. Not much bloating, cramping, fatique or anything right now. UGH. We will see. Any of you? Do you all know when most people feel symptoms. Not until 5-6 weeks right.

This TWW is killing me. Trying to stay busy with work, getting ready for the holidays, scrapbooking and more. Got my stepson Christmas shopping done this morning online before work!!! Woohoo. I told DH we were not waiting until the last minute like last year.

FYI Leap pads are amazing for kids!!! The best learning thing ever Our son love it!!!
Happy Tuesday everyone! Let's keep this thread going

I know how you feel! I'm 6 days from testing and I still don't feel anything different other than sore boobs and acne on my nose. I'm on CD 23 but my cycles are all over the place. I'm not even sure if I even ovulated this month.

I'm 5 DPO with no symptoms as well. I wouldn't read too much into it...I was on a website the other day where pregnant women listed their symptoms from 1 DPO until pregnancy was confirmed and at least half of them had no symptoms through 7-9 DPO, many with no symptoms until 14 days DPO. It's best not to over think it! I'll see if I can find that website again, it put my mind at ease.

Post the link if you find it! Awesome, at least I feel a little bit better

I was going to say the same thing. I was on the site the other day and so many people said the first 10 days or so were symptomless and many were SURE they were not pg.

My symptoms pretty much went away so I'm in the same boat, but trying to keep the hope.

I almost wrote BM for something too and thought better of it. When I first read this I was thinking for a few seconds, "who the heck is B Mike?" before it clicked lol.

RE FF - I mark my EWCM when it seems to be inbetween sometimes too. As long as I can stretch it enough and its slippery, I think it's ok. I think FF uses this data to help predict ovulation so you can always leave it off if you aren't sure too.

As far as notes, I don't think its anything but for your reference. You can set up FF to indicate on your temp when you have notes entered.

 

[Angel wings13]

Mine doesn't really have enough to tell if it's stretchy...but definitely slippery, slick, and clear.

I'm sure you are right about ff. I just got home from work, and my fiance worked late last night, got up early this morning, and didn't get his usual "nap" ( aw, poor thing.
I forgot what a nap is, but if he misses one , look out! ) so as I type this I am pondering different scenarios to get the BD going! If FF is correct, and I well be ovulating in 48 hours, I want my bases covered! I never got a chance to get more opks, so I'm leaving pretty heavy on FF. At least they have an optimistic outlook! Those opk's were ticking me off! I wonder if they aren't trustworthy if you have one ovary... Maybe I don't produce enough LH for the test - though I know I ovulate almost every month!
