Ladies who will TTC in December are welcome to my thread

Hello all!

Dh & I are both 27 & this will be our 4th cycle ttc #2! We just currently started using preseed (he has no idea, shhh) & opks so hopefully this is our month! I'm currently trying to decide if my opk is positive or not. I am using a cheapy, equate early ovulation test from Walmart. I don't temp because I feel like it would just stress me out more!

Let's all cross our fingers for a BFP this month!
Well as it went decidedly negative on cd 14 I would say yes it prolly was positie on cd 13.... You prolly just never caught the biggest wave of the surge ... I'd test again for the next few days if you canjust to make sure it doesn't strt getting dark again... Otherwise count that as your positive and say you ovulated somewhere in cd13-15 and count your lp from then. Do you track cervical mucus? If so you should stop producing ew or watery cm within a day or two of ovulation most of the time.
Good luck hon.

I try to track cm but while using the pre seed I can never tell what I'm really looking at. I guess I should mention I got off mirena iud in July & we started actively trying in August. I had regular 28 day cycles until October when I had a 37 day cycle (we also got married in October so possibly from the stress?) & now I'm around 32 days so it's all over the place.
 
Glad to see so many have joined I noticed my cm is changing so should be ovulating around Tuesday so gonna try to bd today sun and mon af due day after Christmas so gonna test Christmas eve or Christmas day hope we all get some bfp presents

ASimms10116, hello and welcome...:flower:

So I am on CD13 today :) and using three different opks: clear blue, first response and wondfo. From my last month experience, I will tell you this, keep testing, and do not throw your results in a trash bin, in this case you will see the progression, i need to show you mine here. I would say that it is still indefinite if you ovulated or not, are you tracking your BBT? that is the best way to know b/c opk only shows your lh surge and there is not guarantee that the eggy comes out from the ovary. Since I have PCOS, my LH surge was too high and I had four days of positive, this triggered me to call my doctor for u/sound results.
So start doing BBT, download FF, I love this app, I play with it all the time, and there you can read a lot of information about cycles and ovulation. I am going to be with you on Pre-seed and buying one today since ovulation is getting closer. 28 day cycle is a perfect one, a lot of things can impact your periods, i would not worry about October 37d cycle, keep testing and post the pictures for us here, I will try to find my last month progression for you :)

hey there, I was wondering where you were, you just disappeared from our thread, we missed you :hugs:

so what cycle day are you?
I will be ovulating on Tuesday as well, doing bd today and on monday, will you use pre-seed?
 
It will depend on the doctor and how willing they are to listen to what you want vs what will make them the most money.

Yeah I am aquarian and he is a cancer. He is much more affectionate and moody than me lol

It will depend on the doctor and how willing they are to listen to what you want vs what will make them the most money”

Lol, are you originally from USA?

I am not from here and in shock from Medicare. In my country if you pay money they are willing to do all kinds of tests on you: from head to toes. Here they will not even look at you, unless you have some medical issue.

However I must say that you have a good research centers here, labs and equipment. Other than that, doctors are mess here.

I am originally from the US yes. I have had many bad experiences with doctors and the medical industries. I generally am of the mindset that I will not go in unless I need prescription for antibiotics or I need a bone set.
Our country has the most expensive medical in the world but some of the most arrogant, condescending and greedy doctors on the planet. They will do a ton of unneeded tests when you don't request them, but if you ask for something or suggestion an alternative to what they want to do they treat you stupid.

My last two doctor experiences - First I was basically only going to a clinic to get some birth control. They wanted to do a pap smear every year(It's only recommended yearly if you have a history of issues for everyone else it is done every 3-7 years) One year I got a possible flag on my pap smear. They told me I had to have a procedure done and a biopsy of some cervical tissue. I researched my pap smear results. I also researched the procedure they wanted to do. I went in to the appointment and told them they could look all they wanted, do another pap if they wanted but they weren't removing anything as I bruise and bleed easily. They must have lectured me for 45 minutes about Cervical cancer and how harmless the procedure was and looked at me like I was an idiot for quoting well know research on the subject. In the end I left having done nothing but refused to sign their form and been basically called a moron for 45 minutes.
The clinic then blew a fuse about me refusing the procedure. Told me I had to do another pap smear the next month and if it was flawed at all I would get the other procedure done or I would not be given a prescription for birth control. The new pap smear was perfectly normal.(It was all about them getting more money outta the state for an unnecessary procedure.)

My last experience with a doctor- another pap smear- about 2 years ago now. Doctor does normal stuff, says it all looks fine from what they can feel but they feel my uterus maybe is swollen of something when she pressed on the area. I told the doctor well I'm gassy its prolly just feeling different cause of that... Doctor is like nah let's schedule you an ultrasound next week just to see what's going on. Next week come in for transvaginal ultrasound and they see a normal uterus, normal ovaries - no issues they can see. (It was all about getting more money outta my insurance for the hospital cause they saw I had a good insurance company.)

Yet I called every doctor in town when I was over a month late on my period (When I was in my limbo that ended in a miscarriage back in April) and not one would give me a simple blood test. They told me if the HPT said negative it wasn't possible to be pregnant. They told me they wanted to do pap smears, put me on BC, give me a shot to induce my period, but not one would give me a simply Blood test that would have shown I was pregnant and may or may not have helped save me from having a miscarriage a month later. You see there was no money in giving me a simple blood test. It takes 5 minutes and costs like $50 - no profit in that.

I am a natural person, I use herbs and natural treatments. I research everything and have no plans to ever go to a doctor again unless it is life or death related.

thanks for you response, I am a natural person, hence was trying to stay away from birth control pills, I thought i would not want to mess up with hormones, so how is your temperature today? Has AF gone? Are you cycle day 4? My temps are ok today, still no dip. Yesterday I have got clear blue ovulation kit, 20 of them, it says on the pack not to trust this kit if woman has PCOS, so I am not really sure right now who i should trust, lol...:shrug:

how is your man? Still tired to BD? Buy him a viagra, lol...
 
Lol Yeah My AF is pretty much done, the flow so light I only get redness when I wipe- pretty much spotting at this point. So yeah started taking my temp this morn- It's in it's normal range. Was 97.47 this morn. I most likely have about 2 weeks till I ovulate so not really worried about bd currently...
Viagra would help if it was an erection issue. It isn't, it's a want to actually have sex. I can easily arouse him, but he will tired or his knees bothering him or something so he won't want to have sex. Which is why we will be adding insemination in the mix the next few months to see if that helps. If nothing happens in next 4 months I'll prolly send away for a sperm count kit for him to make sure it isn't a count issue. If that looks good we'll try awhile longer. Like right now it's been 25 days since we last had sex so I'll prolly try and get some this Tuesday when we are both off work, just for fun as ovulation will be nowhere near then lol.

You should trust temping more than opks but temping generally is only perfect for telling you that you have ovulated. Except for the one day of temp drop that some women get it will not tell you before you have ovulated most of the time.

If you get multiple days of positive opks then yeah that sounds like your body produces a lot of LH before actually letting the egg free. I don't think that is healthy for the egg if I remember correctly. It over ages it of something. I generally get positive opks that will stay positive for 12-36 hours but never more than that. And I have confirmed my ovulation with temping so I know I generally get that positive opk the day of or day before I actually ovulate.

Hopefully you will see a temp drop soon and then a swift shoot up the next day . :)

:) Welcome back Wanna. Glad to see you back and to hear your CM is looking good for Ovulation gearing up :)
 
Glad to see so many have joined I noticed my cm is changing so should be ovulating around Tuesday so gonna try to bd today sun and mon af due day after Christmas so gonna test Christmas eve or Christmas day hope we all get some bfp presents

hey there, I was wondering where you were, you just disappeared from our thread, we missed you :hugs:

so what cycle day are you?
I will be ovulating on Tuesday as well, doing bd today and on monday, will you use pre-seed?

If I had some I def would because I truly think it helped with our son but I had a ton of ewcm last month hoping to see the same again really hoping for some Christmas eve or Christmas day testing if I get a bfp will def put it in dh stocking
 
aww a positive hpt would be an awesome stocking stuffer :) I sure hope you get to do it.
 
Well yesterday I felt wet all day but when we bd last night it dried up quickly so no fertile cm yet but still early for that to show hoping to see some later today or def tomorrow
 
Morning Ladies,
what is the news with you, guys?

Wannanewbaby, it's great that you have lots of EWCM, mine was watering for couple of days, guess after bding, then turned creamy again, which is sucks, tests are not showing any progression of LH this month compared to last month, I uploaded some pics for you to look at :cry:


CCpeace, way to go, you got all the armory this month to get :bfp:
how is your temps today? Mine: 97.57 (within the normal limits, still there is no dip, according to FF my O is on Tuesday, so no need to worry yet. With all this pain in my ovaries this month, I really think that ovulation should occur in my right ovary, and since it has pcos, do not think I will have much luck. Can not wait to see the new doctor on tuesday. Thank you for the explicit response in your last answer. :hugs: Btw, what is the weather in your state? We have 34F in TN

Around this time in November (CD14 ) I saw a progression and Clear Blue caught it positive on the CD15 with a solid smiley, but not this month :(.
Since they found pcos, I wonder if it can be only in my right ovary, because on the ultrasound the summery said : some polycystic appearance in the right ovary, but she left blank notes for the left ovary. Since it is a pair organs, i do not think it is a case, am i right girls, please helm me here.

:hugs:
:dust:

aww a positive hpt would be an awesome stocking stuffer :) I sure hope you get to do it.


oh, how nice you downloaded FF :) and posted your Ovu chart here:flower:

Look at mine and tell me what you think, there is an option there to convert it from C to F :)

Well I didn't download anything as I am using it on my laptop, I prefer oviaview myself but FF it is easy to share the updated ticker in my signature so I will do both.

Your temp looks pretty normal pattern for pre ovulation. You may see the dip in next few days or you may just see a sustained rise start. Wont know your pattern until you've temped a few months. So far though your temps look totally normal to me. Since you have an avg 30 day cycle and let's guess you have a 13 day lp You'd ovulate around cd 16 so should be coming soon. Baby :dust:

you got it right, i have 13 day lp, but as for ovulation, last cycle was on day CD15 according to Clear Blue, First Respose was positive on CD 17, and wondfo on CD 16, lol, so I do not really know exactly which day it came out and which opk was the most right, sucks that did not start to temp earlier.

so how do you feel day? AF has gone?
 
yeah AF is completely gone. My temp is hanging in normal area... The pup is doing well... I'm kinda tired but otherwise am doing well... Been watching a lot of Outer limits today :) Hulu is the best for binge watching stuff lol
 
Saw my first signs of ewcm last night me and dh have bd ALOT this time gonna try to squeeze one more in tonight then I will be feeling pretty confident this month also felt some pain in my right side yesterday so all good signs it should happen soon fx crossed ladies

That is so wonderful that you have a puppy, I have a cat, she peed everywhere so I put her to live outside, on our porch.

So you were right :flower:, my temp dropped today, CD 15, but I am not sure why, still all opks are NOT positive, I made a picture to show my progression of LH, I kind see a little bit with FR and Clear Blue, just started to pick up today, do you see some progression? :)

Oh, well done, wanna 
So I used pre-seed and really really loved this product.

I am scared to BD every day this month, b/c last month we bd eight days in a row w/in ovulation and nothing happened, so this month I am going every other day.

Are you still using any opk?:)
 
Galyna, None of those opks's are positive. For an opk to be positive it means the test line is as dark or darker than the control line. And yep that looks like a nice temp drop you got today. If that is signaling ovulation you should see the temp jump way up tomorrow.

We didn't exactly "get" a puppy. Someone left her on our porch. I posted about her in some local groups on facebook and found out more about her. She was only 4 weeks old. I've had her a little over a week now and she is doing great, growing fast, but yeah we did not mean to have a puppy this time lol.

As for being scared to bed down every day- the reason it has become popular is that so many men have less sperm then past generations(Due to various things) and having sex every other day allows the men to build up a good amount of sperm to deliver again.

“Galyna, None of those opks's are positive.”

Sorry, dear, did not mean to confuse you, I forgot to add NOT. I know they are not positive, I meant to tell you that I do not see any LH progression this month as I saw last month.
This month however, it is just started to pick it up ( LH surge) this morning according to First response. But I know, test line should be way darker that reference line. Clear blue digital just showed me a blank circle, so I know it is not here yet, just not sure why temps dropped down from 97.5 to 97.1.

I attached a picture of my last month LH progression for you to see, on the 11/14 (last test on the pic) you can see clearly that I ovulated according to First Response. Sorry the picture is fuzzy.

P.S. That is very nice of you to take care of this puppy, what is its name? Do you live in condo or apartment?

I hate Monday, blah. My mind all over the place and it is so hard to concentrate on work.

Bty, your temps are within the same limits so far as mine at the beginning of the cycle.

Hi everyone, can I join? My af is just about to arrive (pink spotting yesterday) really want it to show soon so we can get this cycle going! Hopefully ovulating around Christmas Day or Boxing Day or later (grrrr) if af takes a few more days.

We ntnp May and June, then ttc from July. I've just had two months of not trying for various reasons, so desperate to get going again. The only thing I'm using this month is some pre seed!

Look forward to talking to you all!
