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

[Ilovetomatoes]

Deal, I usually took an OPK around 3pm after holding my P for about a couple of hours and it usually gave me pretty good results. I also took an OPK once at 8pm and still gave me a really good result .

BBM, I say test again. That's a super short period. Like Krissy said, either you are pregnant or just had a weird period.

Twinkie, looks like our BBT is mirroring each other. 3 DPO! Yeah!!! hahahaha

Confuzion, can't wait to see your tests! Your temp is just gorgeous.

 

[jmandrews]

My stupid temp spiked today because I've been suffering from allergies. I think the congestion has made me sick again this cycle. Just like last cycle. It's way too early to be ovulation for me plus I haven't had EWCM yet. I guess I'll know tomorrow. I think I'm going to go get OPKs later.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Jm, you should try mucinex w/ guaifenesin only. Not only it helps relieve your congestion, it also gives you more EWCM . FX the allergy goes away soon.

 

[jmandrews]

Ok! I'll try that thank you!

 

[macydarling]

My allergies have been absolutely maddening too! I think the pollen count is outta control this season.

 

[Deal9027]

Twinkie & ILT - your charts both looks VERY promising...Fx Fx Fx!!!!!

My allergies are acting up too! I walked over to my neighbors and got some fresh honey - I swear that eating fresh local honey is a cure all for allergies!!! It puts the same pollens into your system in a different way & gets your body used to them - at least that's my interpretation of it!!

My concern with the darn OPK is that I drink a TON of water...seriously! After my FMU I go often & it's very light. I'm trying to figure out when to maybe hold back some of my water drinking & how long I might be able to make it. I drink 20oz of water with a splash of organic apple cidar vinegar immediately after waking, then my indulgance of a small cup of coffee (about 8oz), then I get to work & fill my reusable water bottle that holds 24oz & finish one of those by 10ish, another by 12ish & usually have one more throughout the afternoon & sometimes even 2 more. I drink a large glass of water with dinner & sip on a glass throught the night until I have my small cup of herbal tea just before bed. Is there a reason why they suggest not using FMU for OPK's? Hmmmm...maybe I can try to hold it from like 2pm until I get out of work at 5pm?!?!???

Hi ladies how are we all getting on? Feeling really funny this cycle on clomid today is last tablet! But last Cycle got lots of pinchng on right side (really thought It was implantation) anyway came but spotting one day an only when wiped then full heavy day then 1 day just streaky red/brown when wiping! Sorry tmi! And since AF finishing I'm having weird pinches in my side again an terrible back ache! Just not feeling right! Ideas? to all x x x

I used Clomid for the first time this month too. I had a lot of early cramping and lots of visible EWCM I never have it like that only if
I do a check. I say test again. How long was your LP? I noticed my O was later and so AF will be also.
Did you use OPK at all? I had to an thank god I did or I would have missed it.

Quick fairly unrelated question for FF users-
Do you have to do anything special for the signature thumbnail to update? If I click the link it looks right, but the thumbnail looks a day old (which had incorrect data lol).


And also - Another allergy sufferer here..... My eyes have been bloodshot for over a week now, and I put drops in them many times a day. Just miserable.

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Allergies! I don't miss those especially when mine frequently turned into sinus infection. I've been using this https://www.neilmed.com/usa/sinugator.php for the past 2 years w/ nasal congestion and it works like a charm. I'd use it as soon as I feel some nasal drip for 1 week, 2 times/day. Usually, after a week, I am congestion free for the whole year. I am not big with taking medications so always try to do an alternative method first unless it's something serious. It's a weird little machine and you'll feel weird using it at the beginning but boy oh boy...it clears up everything!

Deal, that's a whole lot of liquid in a few hours! hahahaha. See if you can stretch your 24oz morning water for the rest of the day. Here is a little blurb on OPK: "Unlike the pregnancy test kit, morning (first morning urine) is not the best time to collect samples for ovulation tests, as LH is synthesized in your body in the morning and will not appear in your urine until the afternoon. The ideal time to collect a urine sample is in the afternoon, though testing may safely take place from 10am to early evening."

Krissy, I never have to click on anything for my link to update. I thought it's supposed to be automatically updated. Unfortunately, I am at work and not able to access FF. Hopefully others will be able to answer your ? better .

 

[n.miller]

Dang it! By the time hubby gothome from work last night I was asleep!!! Urgh. Now I feel like everything is screwed up lol. Hopefully Monday, Wed, O day and Friday will be enough. Picture me shrugging. Baby making is serious business lol.

Macy - I'm the same with DH. I have to force myself to stay up. Something that will be happening tonight. At least you got a morning BD in. DH is not a morning person There is no way I can ever get morning BD.

Bluebear- I had a few pinches and little stabbing pains on each side of my abdomen while on clomid during the 1st cycle, but it was after O. However, side effects do say backache and cramping. As long as they're mild, you should be ok. But if it gets severe, you need to see the Doc that put you on it.

 

[smiley4442]

I'm cd5 and AF is gone, and since I'm not sure of my "O" days I'm starting to opk so I can get a good idea. Last month I did keep track of my bding (compared with my BFP and chemical I had)so I have a good idea when I will, I just want to compare months. Guess me and DH will start every other day bding tonight.

to everyone!

 

[MellyH]

Okay, we fiiiinally got to have sex last night. Hooray! Stupid period comboing into a stupid head cold. I feel like my cold has gone downhill again today though, because I only got like 5 hours sleep. Ugh. *whines* We complain about men getting man flu, but I complain much more than my husband when I'm sick!

[kwynia]

Well I was right about O, started having cm "surplus" monday night, luckily got a BD in, neg opk yesterday and almost positive opk just now. I'm only CD 10 so, its gonna be a short cycle 23 or 24 days, AF due 6/10. Will try to get one more BD tonight but I've got a cold

Good luck lots of your way x x

 

[confuzion]

Deal - yes testing tomorrow but not hopeful at all. I am just feeling out. My gut is usually right.

macy - waking DH up to DTD? Haha mine would NOT cooperate and just get annoyed.

Bluebearmummy - sorry no advice here. Does sound like a very light period.

JM - I think OPKs are a good idea.

kwynia - I ovulate really early sometimes too and it's very worrying I understand . I hope it's a healthy mature egg regardless.

ILT and twinkie - your charts are looking great so far ladies!

melly - woohoo BD .

smiley - Yay no AF, now baby-making dance time

krissyB - the thumbnail and when I click it look the same?

 

[twinkie2]

Lots to catch up on!!

ILT-YAY!! Cycle buddies and our charts are following the same pattern, up, up and away to some BFP's let hope!!

Deal-I swear, we would be besties in real life!! I wish I lived close to so many of you!!! I do ACV too I have the same problem of drinking so much then come testing time I feel like I never have a good hold, especially now that I've realized my afternoon tests are way better than fmu...if I can get a good hold!! I drink 16oz as soon as I wake up, then two cups-16oz of tea through the morning. Another 8oz at lunch and then only tiny sips if I have to during the afternoon. Usually I can pee it all out, then get a good 3 hour hold in by the time I work out, drink a ton more during that and at dinner so that I don't have to get up 5 times during the night.

Melly-yay for some sexy time!! Hope you can get in some more and are feeling better!!!

kywnia-hope you can get in one more!! Sorry you aren't feeling well

Krissy-mine seems to update automatically, not sure what's going on with yours

to everyone that I missed, so much going on in here this morning!!

He always wakes me up at night because he stays up until late o'clock but gets to sleep later than me. So that helps when I wake him up early

I think my issues were just with my computer. Once I refreshed the page a few times it fixed it.
