New cycle! Who's with me??

[supergongjoo]

@mrspres you are smart to start testing with opks. you could just have a longer luteal phase. Especially since this is your first time using opks. I used to think i ovulated CD16 because of my cm but i actually ovulated CD 19-21. You dont want to miss that egg!

@everyone i get really anxious before o-day and then again during tww lol its a vicious thing


I am about 10DPO so 3 more days til i test and im dying to know. ive resorted to using free tarot card readings online. which of course is just a waste of time lol

 

[mrs.green2015]

lol I'll ovulate about cd13 and testing about cd6. I would probably already start testing of j was you because I can't wait.

@supergongjoo I'm impressed that you haven't tested yet! The past few cycles I have begun testing at like 7 dpo... Lol it's an addiction! But this cycle I'm determined to wait for AF to be late

Hello!

I am new to the site and so happy to have everyone going through similar things together! I had a miscarriage a few years ago and have never felt so alone so to find this site is just amazing! I have been married for a little over a year and we started trying in September. I came off of birth control and have PCOS. I have very few symptoms of PCOS and my doctor said I had only one or two cysts the last pap I had! When I came off birth control it took my body forever to regulate out and I am currently having my first period since coming off BC. I have never been so happy to see AF!! I am hoping that it a sign that things are moving in the right direction and I can start using my OPKs this month and hopefully make some progress!!
So great to see everyone's stories and I look forward to being on the journey and never feeling alone again!

Lol ive found that testing early just gives me waaay too much stress. I go insane taking the test apart and using filters to see an imaginary line and then sometimes I get an evap line which makes me go google evap lines. So I decided for my sanity I need to just not let myself do that lol
@mrsgreen omigosh how long are you cycles? I wish I had a shorter cycle. Less agony I feel. My cycles are 31 days so I always feel like I have to wait so long for the next step lol
@mrspres I used to poas almost daily lol this self control is very new lol
@little bean u posted the exact same message to the other threads I'm in lol

 

[mrs.green2015]

Hi little! welcome! I felt the exact same about AF this cycle. Its my first AF since my mc so now we can try again and do the same things again!

super- you're amazing for having self control! I always say i wont test but then i do. my last cycle I tested at 9dpo and got a bfn and was so discouraged i convinced myself i wasn't pregnant only to discover a week later I was! lol maybe that will make me not test early anymore.
My cycles are 29 days but with the cohosh is moves up ov to about cd 13

mrspres- I agree with Super maybe you should start OPKs just in case you do ovulate early ya never know!

 

[MrsPres0816]

Welcome littlebean! And you guys have convinced me! Lol I'll probably start testing this weekend!

 

[Littlebean18]

I was posting from my phone and I couldn't see if it went through! I thought i was doing something wrong, so I just tried to post somewhere else. When i realized it posted twice, I couldn't figure out how to delete. Ooops! Sorry!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Lol I love being a bad influence!

 

[supergongjoo]

@mrsgreen I'm on cycle 9 so I've had some practice lol. Can I just admit how jealous I am of your beautiful cycle? 29 days with a 16 day luteal?! Perfect!
@mrspres I'm glad we convinced you. Baby dust!
@little oh no I didn't mean that as a dig! I did the same thing when I first hopped on. Cause honestly our stories are complex and no one wants to type that stuff over and over. I just thought it was funny we were on the same threads !
@mrsgreen you are a great influence haha

Afm I noted some cycles I get this full uterus feeling. Literally like my uterus is bloated. Followed with cramping but very mild. All during my tww. I've had it 2 other cycles and this cycle. Does anyone know what that is?

 

[mrs.green2015]

Super- I've never really noticed that except when I was pregnant. I swore I could feel my uterus expanding. Lol

 

[MrsPres0816]

@super when do you plan on testing??

 

[supergongjoo]

well i caved and tested after lunch which is beyond stupid cause its still early and it wasnt fmu AND i used a cheapie.
But i plan to really test on monday. When AF is actually due.

 

[mrs.green2015]

How many dpo are you super?

 

[MrsPres0816]

@super that sounds like most of the testing that I have done previous cycles lol it's always like a 30 min hold on a terrible test at 6 dpo. I have never gotten anything remotely close to a bfp and have no idea what I will do when that day comes

 

[supergongjoo]

@mrsgreen around 11ish. My cycle I pretty synced with this other poster on another thread. (One month we both had late periods too!) Not sure how that happens but makes things easier for me lol
@mrspres I feel the same. I fell like when I do get that bfp I won't even belive it lol

 

[StephanieE]

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been MIA lately!! Been super busy the last few days! But so glad to see we have new people in our convo! Welcome!

I am currently CD 8. AF left CD 5 so I've been af-free for a few days now

For those who have used opks (internet cheapies) when did you start testing and how often? I'm not sure when to start. I just don't want to use them all up right away.

Fxed for my BFP on cycle #2!!

 

[supergongjoo]

@steph i would start cd10 because generally we o around cd13-22. most tests tell you to test 2x a day but i test once a day.

afm im now cd1 im thinking about trying chaseteberry this cycle. has anyone here tried it?

 

[StephanieE]

@super I will take your advice and start CD 10 but I may try twice a day this cycle just to kind of see where I'm at since I've never tested before.

 

[MrsPres0816]

When is the best time to test with opks?
