Need a TTC buddy

[LaRockera]

CedarWood, I'm sorry she got you, hon. I hope you have a new productive cycle yourself.

Dabydreamer, this has happened to me as well. I guess it's just people dialling the wrong number, and then being very shy to admit they might have done so. They are desperate to hear you're someone they know.

So today I got faint spotting on my panties, which I take it to be ovulation spotting. I was wondering whether this could be AF leftovers, but I'm on 11dpo already. Which is also too soon for ovulation, but I've read that ovulation spotting may not be from the actual egg bursting out, but rather hormonal, right before ovulation. I guess my OPKs will tell.

Say, so if I get a positive OPK, do I start BDing straight away? Is it what they say, 12-36 hours?

Today we're off to our holiday house for our last three-four days there. Summer's over. That always makes me melancholic.

Anyhow. MinneGirl - let's keep the PMA for this cycle, shall we?

 

[sequeena]

Cedarwood yes that's one of my furries. His name is Nemo

 

[MinneGirl]

Yes, we shall keep the PMA alive !

Cedar, hope this cycle is a great one for you. It sounds like your (SO, DH?) travels a lot...as does mine. I understand it doesn't make this any easier, does it?

LaRockera, I don't get any spotting, ever, but yes, it could be ovulation spotting. As to your OPK question...when it does turn positive, you typically ovulate 12-36 hours later. So start bd'ing every day (if you can) or at least every other day

Our party started last night. So far we are sticking to plan Today we are headed to my parents house for a BBQ and then a small birthday celebration. My mom baked me a cake

K, girls. That is all I have for right now. Will be checking in tonight.

Morning girls, well another BFN for me this morning, Im gonna try & hold off testing for a few days, AF is due anywhere from the 7th - 10th.
Question - if I ovulated early, does that mean AF will come early?
I guess I wait & see..
Oh here is something weird, never noticed it before but I had ewcm last night & a little bit this morning too I think. Ive read it could be from the increase in oestrogen before AF.

Hey Ladies!

Babydreamer, yes, if you O early, then your period comes early. Typically your luteal phase (second half of your cycle) is the same every month. So for me, I usually ovulate anywhere from CD12-16, but always have 12 day luteal phase, so my period cycle varies by about four days. Hope that helps!

Birthday party at my parents was so fun. My mom made me my favorite birthday cake and my sister got me the cookbook Ad Hoc, by Thomas Keller. I've been wanting it for six months, so I can't wait to make something from it. I love cooking.

Other than that, nothing much going on.

Hope you are all enjoying your Monday...I am off of work for Labor Day

 

[LaRockera]

Hey MinneGirl, I'm glad to hear you had a nice bday party at your folks'. Let us know what's cooking, will ya?

Nothing much to report here. We keep the party goin' and today I got the darkest line I've ever gotten, although still not positive. I tested again some fifteen minutes ago (it's 21:10 here) but the line was weaker, so I guess the best time to test is indeed around 2-4ish. I don't think I missed the surge because I'm only on cycle day 12, and my cm is still creamy (apologies for tmi )

I started drinking more liquids today. I've never been much of a water drinker, and I suspect this is why I don't observe too much cm on my panties.

Anyway, hope you're all great. Going to have a shower now, as hubby and I have things to attend to.

 

[MinneGirl]

Yep, we need to have another party in the bedroom tonight as well

Just creamy CM here, nothing more interesting at this point. LaRockera, sounds like O day is right around the corner for you

After reading my new cookbook, I got overwhelmed and we went out for Indian fod instead I plan to make something next weekend.

WOOOHOOOO

If you just got the positive, this could be the surge on the way up or down (I've learned how this works quite well over the last 6 months)--my doctor told me that from his research, MOST eggs only live around 10 hours. So I would recommend TRYING to bd today/tonight if you can. IF not, then I would go for it in the am Either way, I think you have a great chance!!!!

 

[MinneGirl]

PS...I love that your status says Yeehaw

AFM, CM is def on its way to being the GOOD STUFF I wasn't in the mood at all last night, so we will have some fun tonight. Probably better timing anyway, considering the change this am in CM...I would put bets that I will ovulate on Thursday or Friday. I am getting good at this...just wish my body would go along with me!!!

I don't think hubby could perform tonight. He's exhausted. Do I still have a chance if I BD tomorrow late morning or something?

Yes, if you can do it tomorrow morning, late morning, early afternoon...that acutally may be the best time. That would likely put you VERY close to when the egg pops!

I love you.

I read alot recently about OPK's.
From what I understand, you should use them twice a day - late morning around 11ish and again in eve round 10 or so. This will help tell what part of the surge you are on. LH surges in the morn - so if get a pos in eve check to see if still there the next day.
You still may not O for two days - in case it is earlier you have fresh sperm from yesterday so I would wait till 2mor morning.

PS cm is a good way to tell O - once it has changed the day before was prob your O day - so as long as have fert cm you are good. Some people do not need to check (I know you do not like to) but you can tell just by the wetter feeling you get in your fertile phase. I really notice it when walking about

 

[LaRockera]

Thanks, CedarWood,

I've actually read that LH surges later in the day, and it is not to be used with FMU (first morning urine), unless test states so (like Clearblue Fertility Monitor, which does indicate you should test with FMU). So far my experience has actually verified this. While with FMU the line was fade, it always darkened within the 2-4pm window. So I guess it really depends?

Regarding my cm, well, it remains creamy, and I just found a strange yellowish glod (tmi I know ) while showering. I've drank three bloody cartoons of grapefruit juice this last week but it doesn't seem to do the trick for me. Then again I don't scrape. I do feel moist up there, though, and I do see cm on my panties- just not EW. I really need to start drinking more water. Also thinking of trying EPO next cycle if needed. Any of you guys tried it?

We are using conceive plus though, so hopefully this will make it up.

So you reckon late morning would be okay then?

Thanks for the support, girlfriends!

 

[MinneGirl]

You gotta love that we all discuss our CM...it really is pretty hilarious if you think about it

 

[LaRockera]

I know!! And it's like, a really casual chat, too!
