Sorry about AF bluefish, darkriver, and macy That really sucks.

 

[KrissyB]

And lost my crosshairs....
maybe its a "Fallback rise" and temps will be up tomorrow? Maybe todays my O (cd19 on a 26 day cycle)? Maybe I am having O issues - either in general or because I was sick this month?
time will tell I guess. I'll catch up on other posts soon.

Hi Ladies,
Something weird has happened. I am having cramps and the bleeding has stopped. Is that normal? I dont want to get my hopes up, but normally I bleed for ages.

 

[Cheekygringo]

Test again in 2 days!

 

[hunni12]

Krissy what cd do u usually O?

@DR: i would test again just in case

Afm: so i showed OH the opk last night and let's just say he did the pouncing lol. He says he wants to do it the next two nights as well. Makes me happy to see him so into ttc

I'm having issues too dark river. I'm looking for some advice. My AF is very unusual. It's not really bleeding, it looks like EWCM but tinge red.

TMI ALERT
I just wiped and I got a glob approx 4cm of pure red but it was the texture of jelly!!!! What on earth?!?

This all feels very weird. It's more like CM each time I wipe but with red in it.

Any ideas people??????

 

[hunni12]

Are your cycles usually heavy blue? I have had that before on my heavy cycles

No idea over here! Have you been using any lube or Preseed??


Just checked my cervix, it is fairly firm and closed. So to recap this cycle: cervix has been soft and open since CD14, +OPK CD15, ++OPK CD16, pinching cramps on CD16 afternoon, cervix soft and open CD17, hard and closed CD18. CM is milky today. We BD every night CD12-CD16. Now the waiting, uuurgh Still trying to not over think the worry I have that we had TOO much sex and DH's sperm count was lower because of it But the doc instructed us to DTD every night because he isn't concerned about DH's count sooo...we followed doctor's orders!

to everyone that the visited this cycle

 

[bluefish1980]

Not really heavy, no. I can use a tampon and only need to change to avoid TSS!

I've just never had it 'slimy' which is what it is like. I can also stretch it like you can for EWCM.

Bluefish & DR - I would suggest you both test to confirm it's a weird AF vs IB or harmless spotting/bleeding at the begining of a pregnancy.

Macy I'm so very sorry the got you.

Melly - How are you holding up? Any new signs or symptoms??!

CuriousOwl - Your chart looks fabulous - how are you feeling?

Krissy - Boo to no crosshairs!! I hope you get them back soon!! Or maybe you did O but because you were sick it didn't clearly show by your temps? In anycase it is confusing & I feel for you!!! I had a very confusing cycle in April and it stressed me out something wicked. I hope you handle it better than I did!!!!!!!!!!

Hunni - Have fun catching that egg!!!

How's everyone else doing?

AFM, my temp is back on the coverline and I'm only 6DPO. I'm very confident I'm out this cycle but it actually makes it kind of easier for when the arrives. Last month my temps looks SO promising and it turned out to be a total bust & that was rather crushing. So I'm already over it & looking forward to July!!! Just hoping I make it at least 10DPO before AF so I still have a decent enough LP.

I had this yesterday. wierd

 

[chelsealynnb]

Bluefish - have you been using Preseed or lube? Maybe it was up there and came out with AF?

 

[KrissyB]

Ok, looking for some OPK interpretation.
I'm guessing this is what a positive OPK looks like? I mean, it's not darker than the control, but that's pretty darn close.

 

[smiley4442]

Woke up and took another OPK and pretty much got a positive. Not sure what is up with my body. I'm cd20 today and it changed my cycle to a 33 day cycle. Not feeling hopeful for this month. I gues the spotting and cramping were from ovulation instead of implantation.

Krissy Looks pretty dark to me in that picture.

Looks positive to me. When I get one that dark, in a few hours I always have a SUPER dark one.

How dark do your positives get usually? That looks still neg to me, I think. I have gotten almost positives before AF before and before a BFP

 

[hunni12]

Is this normal first opk is 3 days ago n the bottom is the one from yesterday, do they normally just jump like that?

 

[Cheekygringo]

Yup mine go positive within 2-3 days

 

[twinkie2]

Krissy-if that's not positive, it's darn close, plus, you never know if you are testing at the most opportune time, so for now, I'd assume it's positive and get busy!

hunni-yes, I think that is normal, some women have a gradual increase, other, just jump in LH from negative to near positive.

bf-I think there might be something to this, but I have no idea for sure. I'd wait a day or two and see what happens, same with you DR, test tomorrow or Sunday if neither of you still don't have full flow yet!!

deal-I know what you mean about just knowing you are out, I was a little too hopeful last cycle from my chart and it was crushing when AF showed. No temping this cycle for me (at least not right now) and I am sleeping like a baby, I love it!!! I hope that somehow you are wrong and I know personally, charts lie! If you are right, then we can keep company still in July btw, I too write down things to get it off my chest and then I usually feel SOOO much better about it even though it's resolved nothing, I've just gotten it out of me (I think it was in the July thread that you wrote about this).

smiley-there are so many ladies, so I apologize if this is incorrect, but if you've already had a good positive on your opk, that may just be your LH coming down, or a second surge, but may not turn positive. I'd keep an eye on it and see if they go positive again, but for today, I'd count that as negative. (if you haven't seen a good positive yet, then I'd say you are well on your way) I hope that made sense!
