June, month of new beginnings! Thread for laughter, support and POAS! 19 BFP!

On a side note...if one more person announces their pregnancy on my facebook feed you will be sending me off to the looney bin. Man I know that sounds bitter of me but so sorry, so tired of waiting for my turn! Lol!

Macydarling- I know what you mean. It seems like everybody is announcing their pregnancies right now. Not to mention, I have a sister-in-law and a cousin that are pregnant. I'm happy for them, but I'm ready to be able to make my own announcement. Hopefully, I will be getting my bfp this week. All this waiting has been driving me crazy :wacko:
 
Melly, to be honest, (and a little embarrassed) I don't know where my cervix is. I've tried to find it but I can't find anything that feels like a donut :shrug:
 
:hugs: Kwynia. Sorry to hear that the :witch: is coming. Do you usually spot before AF? Do you think it could be IB?
 
I dont usually spot, typically I just wake up and BOOM there she is. But I dont think its IB, i was expecting AF today.

smiley I had trouble finding mine for awhile. I still can't really use it as an indicator. My advice, if you want to actually use cervix as a guide is to check often. it wasn't until I felt a difference in it one that I was able to tell, but I had been checking for months all within the same window of my cycle and felt nothing! As for CM, I have zero luck with that!
 
Kwynia so sorry about the spotting. Hopefully it's not af!

Smiley- I had a huge glob of ewcm on Saturday just like you described and I o'd yesterday. Last month that happened to me as well where I saw the ewcm and I o'd 3 days later. Not sure that helps you. It's so frustrating wondering when exactly you O. Hopefully this is just a 2ww anomaly and you o'd when you originally think you did.

Krissy that opk looks like it's on the brink of positive. It'll be interesting to see what tomorrow brings.

n.miller thanks for the pineapple advice! Of course I have no time to get to a grocery store. Next month lol.

Deal hopefully your lp is longer this month.

autaot and Macy I know what you mean! I want my turn!

Melly you're getting close! and Smiley's emoticon made me chuckle as well

So we snuck in a bd this morning. Though I don't think he had many swimmers left in him. I've overused him lol. Now the bd marathon is done- phew! I didn't do two in a day but I did one last night and one this morning so it's almost twice in a day:)
 
I have never been able to find my cervix either.. and trying to track CM never works for me either. Contemplating starting OPKs next cycle if I don't get my BFP this time.

Melly - I know what you mean on the sore boobs from poking... I poke mine and that makes them sore. I am sure people at my work are like "Why is she constantly touching herself".

Kwynia - Hopefully it isn't AF and it's just some IB or something.
 
qt, hahaha!

Lynny, it's two in less than 24 hours that you should avoid (as compared to two in one day), so last night and this morning is probably still too close together for him to have made much new good quality sperm!

smiley, I don't think mine feels like a donut! When I started looking the first day I was like, I have no idea what I'm going to find in there. So I had a bit of an explore. :lol: At the end of my vagina, there's a reasonable sized protuberance (about the side of the end of my thumb?) which changes from firm and low down (I only have to put my middle finger in about 3/4 of a finger-length in), to medium (the finger is about a finger-length in), to soft and high at ovulation where I really have to stretch in to find it and it gives way to the touch easily.

I would try exploring again either right at the end of your period, or about a week or so into the TWW - that's when mine is lowest and firmest and most obvious to find. Looking for it for the first time near ovulation, it would certainly be hard to find! So if you wanted to track it (and I find it useful, since I'm not temping or OPKing), I would start at the end of your period and track through one cycle - the changes are the interesting part!

It also made it really obvious to me why at certain times of the month some sex positions are uncomfortable and at other times not! When my cervix is really low and firm I don't like the deep penetration angles at all.
 
Also I'll add in some more TMI info. The best way to feel your cervix is to squat to the ground and use your middle finger to find it. Too hard for me to reach otherwise. Make sure you wash your hands beforehand! Lol.
 
Thanks for the cervix info ladies :) I know I've never been able to find mine either. This is helpful.
 
So glad I'm not alone in the "cervix" department. Hubby is going to stop and pick up some OPK's just in case. I guess it doesn't hurt to poas. Still going to bd in case the sticks wrong lol.
 
Oh yeah, squatting would help too! I usually check while I'm still sitting on the toilet.
 
Melly you're absolutely right- about the cervix and the bd'ing within 12 hours. I wanted insurance lol. I think I'm all finished ovulating now- feels pretty dry. Now on to the wait!
 
So here's my OPK. definitely negative. So idk. We bd'd just in case. Now I'm feeling nauseous again. Ugh.

Smiley - My vote is still implantation symptoms! I actually get more EWCM with implantation, and just watery with O.
 
Krissy around what I thought was my o I had watery. I haven't had any more blobs lol but when I check it's just sticky. I don't want to get my hopes up for implantation just yet. I have a few opks now so I might as well use a few over the next couple days in case. How are yours coming. Are you officially in the tww?
