OnErth-I feel ya on the heat and humidity. Most day's even with my AC's going full blast when the hottest part of the day hit's it's still not enough. It sucks. ESP when it's really humid. I find myself praying for a good rain sometimes, just so it will cool down the house! Just curious though, as I'm still trying to pick up all the lingo, what does FE stand for?
Aayla- Yes, I hate the first TWW! It's stressing me out esp this time around. I can't decide which is more stressful though, this one or the last one, lol. Waiting to test (esp, since I have a super hard time waiting and end up testing super early) is really difficult for me, lol, so I test early, and get -'s of course, and then just stress myself out more, and then there is the looking for any hint of line crap, lol. It's all just so crazy! I also get super horny around the time of O too, but I'm glad it makes it more fun and seem less stressful, like I'm not "forcing" myself to have sex just bc I know it's "time" to BD, ya know. I just started temping, so I'm feeling the stress of that, bc I really don't know enough about it to feel comfortable with the info I am getting, if that makes any sense at all.
kmpreston- I always feel stressed in the later TWW wondering if we timed everything right and if this is "the" month, so I'm not sure that I can say that either are any less stressful on me, but I try to control everything when it comes to all this fertililty stuff and the fact some of it is just out of my hands drives me crazy.... I wish it was like as soon you got done having sex you could test and know if your were pregnant and screw all this waiting crap!
AFTG- As most of you know, I am using the CBFM this month, and I don't know if it is making less stressful or more at this point. My temps are still going down, which I guess is good, bc we haven't been BDing enough for me to feel good about already Oing. I will definitely be Bding tonight and tomorrow though, maybe a morning session in there too. My monitor is still only giving me High reading, but I tested later in the day yesterday (CD13) bc I normally surge later in the day and just had a feeling, and sure enough the wondfo was super positive, so I dipped a CB stick in it too. It's picking up estrogen, but the LH strip was not as dark as I would expect it to get. I put that stick in my monitor this morning, and it's still only saying high :/ My temp was also 96.3, does anyone else get temps that low? And if you do does it go that low right previous to you Oing and it going back up again? Just wondering, bc I'm new to the temping thing too. Anyways, I did test this morning both with a wondfo and CB stick, they weren't like last night's tests, the CB would of def gave me a high, that's why I went ahead and put in the test from the night before, just to be sure I wasn't missing a Peak fertility. Then I went a ahead and tested this afternoon too, the wondfo was even darker then last nights and the CB was even lighter on the estrogen (it get's lighter the more estrogen it picks up) and the LH was a little darker then my other test's. I don't know what to think about all of this though. I'm posting pic's of all the test's so you ladies can tell me what you think, plus you can look at my charts in my signature. I'm so confused and stressed. I'm terrified I"m going to miss my O. which I know is ridiculous, but I am still stressing over all this. Thanks for your help ladies!
P.s.- All of the pics are the original no enhancements, except the last one with all of them and the color has been enhanced. The wondfo from last night, lightened up once it dried, so I also posted the pic from when it was "fresh" I think that should be the first pic- It's the one with a wondfo and a CB stick on top of it it on a counter top. Thanks again! Can't wait to hear what someone else thinks about all these test sticks....bc I'm super confused and wondering what is going on. Oh, I've also been having cramping and backaches, but it's not just on one side it's just kind of all over and I have breast tenderness, I guess I have O symptoms too? Maybe? Does anyone else notice a difference or any symptoms previous to an O?
