Late July Testers! Let's wait together!

Yogi, I usually get mild nausea around ovulation. I had it this afternoon and I'm pretty sure it's O day. I've also been one to hope I'm pregnant even after AF. There's just this little crazy part of me that doesn't want to let go but I find it helpful to be hopeful in my new cycle instead.
 
I can sympathize Yogi. I took a tear a few days ago because my period was light and I was having heart burn. I am still having it but o is still a few days out.
 
9dpo - woke with cramps. Couldn't sleep at all last night. Just dozed all night, which wasn't good when my niece and nephew woke me at 6am :wacko: (I am NOT a morning person)
Optimistic me hopes it's signs of implantation (which google says happens around 9dpo in 40% of cases), realistic/pessimistic me thinks I'm just getting myself in a tizzy!

Cheap tests aren't really telling me anything. Gonna do an 'ultra early' test tomorrow morning and hope for something more definite.

How is everyone else getting on this fine Saturday? My niece and nephew come to stay every weekend (they're 6 and 3) so that will keep me occupied until it's a better time to test.

:dust:
 
Keeping fingers crossed for you Cinderella! It sounds as though you certainly will be kept busy. Lovely that you niece and nephew come to stay. I'm already getting that urge to poas and I can't be more than 7 dpo. Don't really even think I'm in with a shot this month, it's just a bit of an obsession I think!! I've got the distraction of cleaning the house (yay, lucky me) as barely been at home to do anything all week. I've also been asked to make the cake for my niece's second birthday so I'm doing some planning for that too - I'm not really a skilled Baker, but I do quite enjoy it, so I'm hoping it will turn out OK. Nothing too ambitious as the final product never quite matches what's in my head!
 
Good plan to keep yourself distracted Cinderella! 10 dpo is the earliest I would even entertain the thought of testing. I'm planning on waiting till AF, which is due Thursday. I usually start spotting at 12 dpo if AF is coming, and since 12 dpo is the earliest that I personally would test, I think it just makes sense to wait.

Temps seem to be smoothing out into a nice arch. Not getting too excited that they are getting higher as my temps usually peak at this time in my cycle before dropping off again. I'll be more excited if my 12 and 23 dpo temp are just as high lol.

Not feeling overly optimistic or pessimistic. I expect AF will show as it always does. But that doesn't seem to be wearing on me too much today
 
Cinderella, have fun this weekend, the tww feels quicker for me when I keep busy so I hope the same for you. FX for too.

Beany, wby would you think you don't have a real shot this month? I bet you do.

Belle, reading your post makes me think you found your zen. Your chart does look nice though.

And me.. Well I slept until 9:30. I must have forgot to set my alarm but when I looked at my phone there was a text from my dentist office. Immediately ran down stairs and started crying to my husband because I thought it was Monday and I missed my appointment. Needless to say, I think this temp is going to mess up my chart right around O!!!
 
Oh no weebles!! And CD 16-17 is right around when you usually O! Well I guess we will see what tomorrow brings. If your temp drops you can be certain you didn't O, if it stays high you'll know you O'd sometime in a 2 day window which isn't terrible!

Are they still monitoring your follicles? They can probably tell if you did O or not
 
They are not at this point Belle, it was just the one to confirm I am ovulating, not to trigger if that's the right way to say things. But maybe they can tell when that follicle will release? Oh well, you made me feel better, 2 days isn't really that bad of a range at all.
 
Aw weebles, that sleep must have thrown you off! Hopefully it won't interfere too much. At least your body will have had a good rest
 
8/9 dpo and I caved in and took a clearblue this morning, bfn as expected 😔 Had some bad right ovary cramping all day today,feels like O cramps but can't be since my OPK said that was last weekend...(tmi) but right ovary even sensitive when hubby and I dtd. My cycle has always been a bit unpredictable so I think af is due late next week sometime but with her,who knows! At least I find out on Wednesday the results on whether I do/don't have PCOS. How's everyone else managing with their TWW?
 
Weebles, a 20 mm follicle sounds like a nice size!! That must be somewhat reassuring for you!?

Jbugg, do you happen to temp or use OPKs? I hope you aren't out, and maybe just O'd later than you thought

Yogi, you aren't the only one to wonder if you actually are pregnant even though you got a period! lol. I have totally thought that once or twice. My mom actually was one of those ladies who got a period through a good portion of her pregnancies (totally not normal), so it makes me wonder!!

Olive, the only problem is that EVERY month seems to have some sort of unique sign haha. One month I had severe nausea and couldn't stop vomiting... thought for SURE I was pregnant BFN. Another month I couldn't stop sneezing (sure enough sneezing can be a pregnancy sign) BFN, one month I had a triphasic chart! thought for sure that this was it! BFN. Another month I had a so-called implantation dip, BFN. LOL. symptoms in the TWW are pretty meaningless. I feel like my body just tries to devise new ways to torture me :)

LOL! That is frustrating...this time around I've been getting hot flashes, so gotta look up if that's a sign :haha:

8 dpo today..will test on the 20th at 12 dpo..maybe later if I don't get any signs.
 
MrsBeany - I'm the family baker too, despite having no skills lol! My nephew really loves my efforts though, he wants a BB-8 cake this year which should be relatively easy! lol Oh and I'm sure you know, but seriously, don't test early, this is agony! lol

Belle - I think I learnt my lesson this month! I've peed on about 15 tests so far and I'm not happy with any of the results! lol I feel like I should be telling you that you're not out this month etc. etc. But I also really recognise that feeling at peace with the most negative side of ttc is so valuable, so I wish you continued peace (and a lovely bfp!)

Weebles - Thank you! FX for you too, I have no idea how charting works, but by the sounds of it you're doing ok! :thumbup:

Ashy - Remember clearblue aren't very sensitive, you need a nice 10mlu first response type thing if you're going to test this early! I hope your appointment goes ok and you get the answer you want.

Olive - I've been having serious hot flashes too - my sister keeps joking that i'm going through menopause and not pregnant, which would be funny if I wasn't so worried! lol But yeah, i'll be fine one minute and then burning and sweating the next. I have read that it is a symptom so FXed for us! lol

AFM: Well, yesterday we were out ALL day, so I was exhausted and didn't worry too much about the whole early testing thing. Of course, woke this morning and spent 10mins in the bathroom peeing on every type of test I have. Nothing definitive. I'm really torn about my results. On the one hand, my ultra early test has a faint line, you don't even have to squint that hard to see it, but it's not clear. A lot of the 10dpo tests on countdowntopregnancy are really clear and obvious and mine isn't. :wacko:
It's clearer on my phone, as soon as I upload it to the internet it loses some of its clarity and makes me think I'm seeing what I want to see.

Gonna try really hard not to test until 12dpo and see if I can get an actual, proper line. I've learnt my lesson. Next month, I'm not testing until 12dpo!
 
I can see something on that photo! Hope it darkens up for you!
 
Temp dropped this morning. I think cycle 9 is a bust. Just waiting for AF now. FML this is such garbage, I just want to make a baby with my husband who I completely adore. I don't know if it will ever happen for me.
 
Cinderella, I think I can see something too but I just woke and can't tell is there's color or not in it.

Belle, it's a temp drop and it's still a over cover line, it doesn't mean anything yet. You're still in. My OBGYN told me that bbt is like the stock market, up and down and up and down and you can take an educated guess but don't know for sure. Hang in there, those last few days are rough.
 
Thank you Weebles. The last few days really are the worst of the whole cycle. All of those feelings come to a head. You want it so badly but its hard to stay hopeful because you don't want to be disappointed.

Looking at your chart, it looks like yesterday wasn't your O day after all, so nothing harmed by accidentally springing out of bed :)

No I don't temp or use opk bc I triggered. The shot automatically makes opks positive. :(
I think it's the same thing with temping.

But AF came full force so I'm officially out for July. I'll be going to my RE tomorrow morning bright and early for cd3 testing. Then I'll be doing femera again and triggering again this cycle.
 
I'm so sorry jbugg! I'm sending positive vibes your way that this next cycle will be the one for you. :hugs:

Oh cinderella I think you are definitely pregnant!! I only had very mild hot flashes in the morning yesterday, nothing today. But I did look them up last night and what you're describing is what some ladies described to a t during early pregnancy!!! And I can definitely see a line on that test....:thumbup:
