*** June Testing Thread - luck and baby dust ***

[MrsKatie]

Oh Dee I hope it’s your month!

i have literally never succeeded in seducing DH when he’s this stressed/grumpy. So if it happens tonight It’ll be a first. It’s so hard cause I’m already getting angry and upset cause I know we don’t have a chance tonight. I am trying to tell myself that it’s ok and we have next month and the month after etc but I’m sure you all know how this feels! The only way I could eliminate my chances altogether is if I say I think I’m ovulating- it ends up putting pressure on him and kills the mood entirely.

just gotta get out of my own head and help him feel better and celebrate him today.

 

[MrsKatie]

Salamander the ewcm is what I go by too! If you’re not there already, you’re very close. Good luck!!

 

[MrsKatie]

Even darker now!!

Sugger- the apps go off of previously recorded cycle patterns. I would just start testing with opks 2 days prior to your earliest O date. The apps are not all knowing!

salamander- first of all totally get the sleep paralysis! The first time I had it felt like impending doom. I was facing away from the door but I was “sure” someone was coming to get me. I couldn’t move or turn my head, I even tried to scream and nothing would happen. Finally I got my thumb to move just enough to touch my leg which basically woke me all the way. I did a lot of research on it afterward and it’s pretty interesting (albeit terrifying) stuff!

Also, your opk looks ALMOST there!

 

[MrsKatie]

No luck tonight on the BD front Oh well... we did a couple days ago so I know there’s a small chance. Fingers crossed everyone!

Ladies this happened this morning
I don’t expect anyone to see it because it is so so so light but it’s there I’ve tested really early.
Im trying not to get too excited but Ive waited so long for this.

I’ve been having constant cramps for about a week and I think I’m around 8/9DPO maybe earlier as my cycles have been all over the place lately. I’ll test again tomorrow.

Sending you all lots of love

So AF came this morning, had a bit of spotting 2 days ago and yesterday but today it’s full flow, on to next month I guess, I will do my OPK but I won’t test till AF is due, sick of testing and it being white or spending 30 minutes trying to see a line, I’m a bit defeated now only 3 more months of trying before we give up! Good luck to all who are still waiting to test, congratulations to all with BFP and to the others baby dust for next month and see you in July’s testing

Oh I see that xx

 

[Deethehippy]

MrsKatie - sorry you had no luck on the BD front either. I know how frustrating it is...our bodies are ready with an egg and the men don’t seem to get how important it is to get that timing right. Makes me wanna grab the milkman
Let’s hope we had some resilient swimmers already in place and ovulated a bit sooner than later. I’ve got everything crossed.
My boobs are sore since yesterday so I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday.. although not sure if they get tender on day of ovulation or after? I’ve decided based on the OPK’s as well to take today as 1 DPO optimistically. Is actually a day earlier than I would have put it had I not used the OPK’s. We will see anyway..I should get my usual post O headache today.


Dust to all of us left to test this month.

I’m so sorry. It’s so hard. I hate when we have to report AF’s arrival. But don’t give up..sometimes it’s when you least expect.

Hi ladies.
I started temping this morning and I did a ovulation test. The anxiety is really kicking in now. I just wish I cud fast forward 6 days.
The OPK was negative but the line was quite dark I'm only on CD5 and so fearful I have a follicular phase problem.
I'm taking vitamins D and folic acid and I'm also having them yogurt drinks with vitamins C D B6.
I just want to be in with a chance this cycle and get to to be in the 2ww wait with u all. Sorry for the rant but I'm just so worried.
My neighbour is also ttc and she just got her positive OPK today on day 12. I feel so bad saying this but I felt a pang of jealousy because she is ovulating at the normol time.
I'm a horrible person to even feel that way.
I feel so guilty.
U guys are the only ones I can truly trust and talk to.
I feel bad because we haven't been trying as long as others and like I shudnt be feeling like I do.
But TTC is just so hard.
I'll be fine if I can just get past day 11 without a postive OPK.



Sorry for ranting ladies.

I know some of u have been trying for a lot longer than I have. And I dont really have a right to rant

 

[Suggerhoney]

Sorry to all those that AF came I know it totally sucks. It's so deflating.
I really want all of us on here to get our BFPs and healthy babies/rainbow babies.

Sorry for ranting ladies.

Oh hun, you can rant away all you want, this TTC is sooo hard and doesn't matter how long you have been trying. I know you are worried about early ovulation but doesn't mean it will happen...you must try to relax and let your body go with the flow although I know it's easier said than done. My OPK today was lighter than my darkest but still pretty dark so now I'm not sure if I ovulated for sure and we did not BD last night. This whole thing is one big mind F*** excuse the language.

Message me any time you like if you want to vent, not sure how much help I will be but I am always here

Not sure why my reply is in the above box

Thank you hon.
I came off the mini pill in feb. I temp and do OPKs so I know when I ovulate.
My cycles are between 26 and 28 days and I ovulate on days 12 to 13.
But I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle and after that to my surprise I got a postive OPK on day 7 and I Ovulated on CD 8 which is to early.
My cycle was also only 23 days.
I'm on a brand new cycle now And I'm just so worried I'm going to ovulate to early again and not get to be in the 2ww.
It was just so horrible knowing I was out so early in my cycle. As soon as I got that postive OPK on day 7 I new I didnt have a chance.
So im now on CD5 and my anxiety is really kicking in.
I did do a OPK today which was negative but the line was dark so now I'm just so worried I'm going to ovulate to early again.
I just really hope this cycle will be back to my norm and that I wont get my positive OPK untill after day 10 or 11.

I've been watching a bunch of fertility videos on YouTube and have asked questions in the comments section but none of them have replied.
I just wanted to know if it was the chemical that messed my last cycle up and why I ovulated 5 days earlier than normol. But no reply.
So I just kind of feel like I'm wishing the days away to get past the next 6 days without ovulating.

I feel like a stuck record and I'm sure people are starting to get annoyed with me now keep going on but I dont have anyone else to talk to.
My husband just says what will be will be and I know he is right but I just want answers.
If I just new it was definitely down to the chemical and that this cycle was gonna be back to my norm of 26 to 28 days with ovulation on day 12 to 13 I'd be fine.
Its just the not knowing and getting through the next 6 days praying my body wont release an egg untll after day 11

I expect I will still worry tho I'll be worried about having another chemical or about misscarrying later on esp being 40.
TTC is so hard.

I completely understand the feeling. I’ve never ovulated at a normal time so I’m always jealous of people who have 28-30ish day cycles. I don’t know what that’s like!
I’ve been at this a very long time (almost two years with my first and about 9 months TTC 2). OPKs do not always darken gradually before a positive. So a darker opk does not mean you are getting close to ovulation. Don’t let that get in your head because it’s not backed up by science.
I know you are worried about ovulating early again, but just know that our bodies are not machines. Sometimes you will O earlier or later than an average time! What CD are you on now? Hugs!!

Don't feel bad - I get it. I'm jealous of women who have a regular cycle. Mine is usually all over the place and I never know how long it will take me to ovulate.

 

[Samiam03]

I am 5 dpo...andddddddddddd no symptoms.

I don't feel like it will happen this month, tbh. I don't even have my hopes up.

Thank you hon. Thank you for understanding. I'm so sorry it's taken so long for you. 'It makes me feel bad because we have only been trying for a few months but it feels like its been much longer.
When ure not ttc the months seem to fly by but when ure ttc it goes so slow. Esp when ure waiting to ovulate or waiting for AF.
I only had a 23 day cycle last cycle but knowing I was out from CD 7 made it feel so much longer.
I'm only on CD5 hon.
I think that's why the nerves are really kicking in because I got a positive OPK on CD7 last cycle and I'm so anxous it will happen again.
I've never ovulated that early b4. The earliest I've ovulated was cycle day 11 and that was after I stopped taking the mini pill.
Then after that I ovulated on day 13 then 12 so completely normol. Then i had the chemical.
Hopfully my body is back to normol now. Its had a month to recover from the chemical. I guess only time will tell.
Just wish there was a giant fast forward button lol.

Don't feel bad - I get it. I'm jealous of women who have a regular cycle. Mine is usually all over the place and I never know how long it will take me to ovulate.

Thanks hon.
It is hard. I used to be as regular as clockwork but now I seem to have a 26 to 28 day cycle with exception from last cycle being just 23 days.
God knows what's going to happen this cycle I'm hoping it will be back to my norm 26 to 28 days.
It's so nerve wracking doing OPKs. Just want them to stay negative untill I get past day 11

Praying we all get our BFPs
