June/July cycle - new cycle buddies please!

[Lu28]

Hey Rosh. I'm a charting novice too but it doesn't look as though you have oved just yet. I'd just keep going with the preseed and bding and see what your chart does over the next few days. You've been bding tonnes up until now so even if you have oved you'll be fine!

I've got unbelievably bad heartburn and stomach cramps at the moment. Even though I said I wouldn't symptom spot, I'm putting in my FF chart!! Of course it could just be that I ate a massive dinner...

So long as it was a nice massive dinner! i had a low fat cheese sandwich and a glass of wine!!

Well temp'd this morning and it had dropped so def not ovulated yet and is due in 12 days. I had 1 CB OPK left but was too frightened to use it We BD again last night and the deal was tonight and tomorrow then Sunday we can collapse!

I looked at my old chart when i didn't seem to ovulate & i started practising using my thermometer. On CD19 my temp was up to 36.6? so i must have ovulated that cycle?? Who knows! All i know is my head hurts, i'm tired and grouchy and I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF SEX THIS WEEK!!!!!

 

[rachelle1975]

Ok i've looked at my chart and i have had very little CM but what i have had has been watery. Today i had EWCM when i went to the loo this afternoon so that's a good thing right? So we are gonna go again tonight.... and probably until the CM turns creamy what do you reckon?? At least we've used Preseed so hopefully that has helped. Maybe the Preseed and BDing had stolen all my CM?!?!

 

[Lu28]

Yeah, I'd keep going til cm gets sticky just in case. Have you got the guts up to use the opk yet?? Silly sausage!!!!!

 

[rachelle1975]

I know what a loon!! Well i stopped drinking fluid at about 2pm but i was busting for the loo by the time i got home and couldn't hold out! ha ha. Having said that i don't have any EWCM again?? Last month i had a lot of CM every day so this month is really different hence my confusion!

We will definitely BD tonight. Kinda keen to see what my temp does tomorrow to see if it goes up or not??

Shall i have a go with FMU tomorrow?!?

 

[Farie]

Rosh - I'd try with FMU as it's always worked for you before
Fingers tightly crossed for you

Lu - any signs?!?

CD7 today .. still got AF in force and cramps but feeling ok, rather pessimistic about everything today (got told off by DF for finding a negative in everything tonight) and hoping a nice weekend cheers me up/rejuvenates me.

 

[Lu28]

Hope you're feeling a little bit more positive tomorrow Farie

No real signs yet, just at the stage where I'm trying to not read too much into stuff because it's way to early to mean anything...

 

[rachelle1975]

Farie - go buy yourself some sparkly shoes, maybe stroke an overpriced handbag and see if it brings a slight smile to your face eh? How are things other than that?

I don't monitor my CP but i noticed a few days ago it was high and lately it's felt low and pointy but i can kinda feel the open? I am wet but just not too much?

Worst thing is i'm too frightened NOT to BD just in case...... my temp looks v different to last month as well.

Farie it looks like we are both feeling negative. I'm so *&^%$£ off feel like a bit hairy loser who's body is sh*te!!

*toddles of for glass of pinot... that'll cure all ills *

 

[Lu28]

Come on girls, don't make me come back to the UK to kick your asses!!! It'll all be fine, you'll ov, just not when you might have expected

 

[rachelle1975]

Ah i know you are right. I think cos i ALWAYS have a 27 day cycle my luteal phase won't be very long. It can still happen though i know! guess i'm just bummed cos if it doesn't, that'll be 2 out of 4 months i've not ovulated?!?!

 

[Farie]

Come on girls, don't make me come back to the UK to kick your asses!!! It'll all be fine, you'll ov, just not when you might have expected

Farie is scared and fixes a grin on her face

OK, seriously tho, and feeling better today, had a nice morning and walked the dog to the park etc and have spent the afternoon toasting myself in the garden I may be a little fried now tho!! but I do love the sun.
Rosh don't worry to much about CM disappearing, mine did that a couple of months back ... I think pre-seed may have something to do with it a little?!?

 

[Lu28]

Can't believe you were out in the garden sunning yourself Farie, I'm so jealous, the weather's not brilliant here, very cloudy. I might have to come back to te UK for some sun if nothing else at this stage!!

 

[Loula]

hello all, still busy busy with work ( ie went to the park hehehe 0 but it is paid work honest!!)

Had a bottle of wine last night and drunken fun sex ( twice!) which was really really great for a change, no worrying about anything, positioning sticking my butt up or any of that

I'm not going to go on the pill - bascially I want to , but due to work I can't get into GP, so that knocks that on the head doesn't it.

Still eating for England - well Scotland! well both!!

not sure what day it is today, will see when I click post - so Rosh no I am not taking any notice of anything this month at all. ( and if your temps go up tomorrow too and next day then looks like OV yday btw)

Hope all are well

 

[rachelle1975]

Hey guys

Oooh Farie interesting that preseed could be to blame for my vanishing CM!

Well yesterday - bizarrely i had CM in abundance but it was cloudy CM. Still thought it would be worth going for it so we had number 8 last night!!

Anyway, had temp did today so that'll be no ovulation again. AF is due in 10 days and will be regular as clockwork so i think i'm gonna have to go see the docs and find out what is going on. Feel a bit despondent (but it could be my hangover).

 

[Lu28]

I've a look at your chart Rosh and I'm not sure I'd call today a dip. Have you plugged the same temp in for tomorrow to see if you get cross hairs?

I have accepted defeat with yesterdays temp and have now changed my chart to show the first lower temp because today's was consistent with my earlier ones. it does look from all the pg charts that I've seen that the temps rise during the 2ww so really hoping that I either get a massive dip over the next couple of days and/or my temps start rising a bit more.

I almost feel a bit more pressure on the whole thing this month because DH is so into it for the first time. He said yesterday that the reason he hasn't seemed to be bothered about it before now is that he's afraid of getting disappointed so if he doesn't get too involved in symptoms etc then he won't get as disappointed if it doesn't happen. But this cycle, he liked that FF gave us a high and is reading WAY too much into my chart..... Hopefully we won't be disappointed in a week's time

Lu i could kiss you... not in the way men would like but in the purely girlie platonic way!

I have been sitting here snivelling and being tearful - DH is offering me peanut butter toast to cheer me up. Then i just did what you said, 36.38 today and 36.38 tomorrow and i STILL got my line for CD15... so i reckon you are a god, very knowledgeable and i will worship you.

Now if we did ovulate CD15 and today is CD17... can we have a night off?? i'd kill to just sleep i really would!

TMI i know but Farie reckons preseed can have a 'drying' effect which would explain my impression of the gobi desert this week. However, yesterday i had a lot of cloudy slippery CM....

its nice that your DH is getting into it now - my DH was kinda not bothered and it was only when we got a positive test followed by a negative 5 days later that he realised how much he wants it. No pressure for either of us then!

What day is Af due for you? lets get some positive vibes going for us eh? thank you so much for making me feel happier, i was feeling VERY sorry for myself

 

[Lu28]

Ooh, I have my first worshiper!! Maybe I should build myself some form of temple and get it all formalised. I think I will accept chocolate as offerings!!!

I'm not really sure when I'm due AF to be honest. My LP had been 10 days, started taking 50mg of B6 last month and it increased to 11days (with spotting on day 10). This month I'm taking 100mg of B6 so I'm figuring my LP might increase to 12 days. That would mean AF is due on Saturday so maybe test on Sunday if nothing? I'm in 2 minds at the moment about whether to test then so that if it was a positive we'd have the whole day together but there's more chance of it being BFN because I could be testing early. If I wait to 15dpo, I'd almost definitely be late and it's my mum's anniversary so it'd be nice to get a BFP BUT DH and I would have to go straight to work and not see eachother. So after a massive ramble, I'm not sure what to do! This is what's worrying me this month though, everything is me looking at when I might get my BFP and that's far from a certain or even a likely thing so have to tone down my PMA a little bit at least!

 

[Lu28]

By the way Rosh, if you're 2dpo today I'd probably take a well deserved break tonight, 8 days would more more than enough for me!!

 

[rachelle1975]

Since i am your worshipper and you've told me to take a day off... i will!!

I make cakes so i'll make you chocolate brownie muffins with chocolate ganache and sprinkles by way of offerings!! You will have to think of a suiable goddess-like name!!

Well i'm hoping you are right re ovulation on CD15... i did get some EWCM in the afternoon that day but nothing like i normally do. Bit difficult to tell with all this preseed/bding!! ha ha

As and when we get our i can see me having to text DH and tell him since he won't be around! He has a stag do next weekend in Amsterdam but can't see me getting anything by way of since i will only be 9DPO....

Fingers crossed for you Lu - maybe DH getting keen is the positive effect you need?

 

[Lu28]

Mmmmmm brownies...... Not sure I'll get the benefit of them from Ireland mind you.... Yeah, hopefully DH's enthusiasm is just what I need, just don't want to set myself up for disappointment!
