MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[pennymarie]

So I need opinions on whether or not I even ovulated? My temperatures are never very high, so I don't know if this is a shift or not? FF doesn't seem to think so because there are no crosshairs

CD 16 temp seems low enough to be possible ovulation, but the positve opk and cm came after so it makes me consider CD 17 or 18. Not everyone always has a temp dip on the day of ovulation. Since CD 18 temp is the same as CD 17, I figure it's probably not CD 17.

I wonder if you ovulated on CD 18? Your ewcm leading up to CD 18 and the positive opk on CD 17 make me think it's possible. If so, FF might give you cross hairs tomorrow after the third temp rise.

Your temp may rise slowly in increments or quickly. Uusually they say 0.4 degrees F (0.2 C) rise, but it can be 0.2 degrees F (0.1 C) after ovulation. It can vary though.

Would CD 18 seem logical compared to other cycles? Did you notice any pains/symptoms/whatever is normal for you around ovulation on CD 18? Tomorrow's temp should tell you more.

The 27th, which would be CD18, around 1am I woke up with crippling pain. Not my usual midcycle pain, but like AF was coming right then. That lasted all that day and a little of yesterday. Every now and then I get my period, then two weeks later get it again. I was convinced that was happening. And I usually just get ovary pain to one side, or cramps like a charlie horse. And days leading up to AF, I get these AF-like cramps, and I'll always spot after a big one, but no spotting at all. I just think I have low progesterone because I did not ovulate. I'm also worried about the timing of bd-ing...fellow had to much work this week and was away

The temps are looking close to or as though they will be biphasic. It looks like you bd two times on CD 17, so if you did o on CD 18 it is still very possible!

Can you search FF charts with comparable temps to compare with yours? Try to compare your chart with others who have 1. low pre-o temps, 2. low post-o temps.

I just looked at one chart where her highest overall reading was 97.9. She had low pre-o temps, had a slow rise post-o, stayed steady until 4dpo when they finally went higher, and had two dips on 6dpo and 9dpo. Guess what?!? She was pregnant after all.

Stay strong! You're not out yet!

I'd be lost without FF chart gallery....

Also, has anyone had or has heard of cramps like that around ovulation time?

I get really painful ovulation pain so it is possible , Sometimes I can barely walk or stand when I ovulate but it only lasts awhile

 

[pennymarie]

Ruskie: That is one heck of a dip there! And ewcm AND a "show" cervix! GL!!

 

[lesh07]

Well ladies I had a very vivid dream last night that I took a first response pregnancy test and got a bfp. I remember being in total shock, only as it was our 1st month of trying. Xxxx

 

[pennymarie]

I hate waking from those dreams

Hope it comes true!!

Thanks still a few more days before O but I am waiting patently this time and excited since its a hsg cycle

 

[kirstyjane13]

One day left til May!! Hopefully we all get our bfp. Xx

 

[AllStar]

Hope everyone is well, here's to May bfp's!

I had crosshairs yesterday but this mornings temp has taken them away but I'm pretty sure I haven't ovulated yet though anyway so hopefully they'll be back in a few days?

Looks like the normal surge of estrogen drop , FF should give you your crosshairs back again with your next temp

I agree. I think after you get tomorrow's temp that it will give them back.

I think FF is waiting to give me crosshairs because I had a drop on 2 dpo. 3 dpo and 4 dpo are higher again. I put a fake temp that was similar to the 4 dpo in (just to check ) and it gave me the crosshairs.

@ Hopefully2014 - I'll stay TBD for now, until O is confirmed, as my cycles post pregnancy have been all over the place. Thanks

 

[mybabydreams]

Hey girls! Well 7 days in and I am finding it hard to cope this TWW! Im currently on CD43 following my EMC last cycle, so it has been one hell of a wait! Ive bought myself soy isoflavones and more EPO for next cycle, (in the secret hope that this will tempt fate into making me preggers so that I dont need them now ive shelled out for them!) Goodness me, I think I have lost my mind (more than usual) if I think that I can trick fate into making me pregnant by buying things lol!!!!
Heres to a speedy few days! Hope all are well xxx

 

[burgbrandy]

I'm 6/7 dpo and I'm so impatient! I just want to know now! I already ordered my opks for next cycle.

Mybabydreams - lol! I do that too! Stock up on opks, refill my clomid, etc. in hopes i don't need them!
