October Sticky Beans!

[Angel5000]

AF came today so I had a 10 day LP. That's a little longer than before. Hoping to O around CD16 again, that would be lovely. Very excited to be in new cycle.

cupcake - today's temp looks like you haven't hit your surge yet. Good luck!

 

[cupcake.]

Yay for a longer LP, angel! and fingers crossed you'll O around CD16 again.

And i know, today's temp fell down again.. however i don't know but i have a feeling the temp is off. I had a super dry mouth when i woke up, so i must've slept with my mouth open. Also, my boobs are starting to feel enlarged like they always do pretty much right after O.
I'm going to have to wait and see, but i do have a feeling today's temp is off.

Also after i took my temp at 5am i went back to sleep and woke up around 10, so another 5 hours. i took my temp again and got 36.68. I know i can't use it as my bbt, but i tried adjusting it and it gave me 36.12, which when i put it as today's temp gave me solid CH for 3dpo.. so i actually do think i did ovulate.. but like i said, tomorrow's temp will give a better clue. for now i'm leaving the low temp im there

 

[Angel5000]

ooh yeah that could definitely be it. Our bodies can be so finicky sometimes!

 

[Blackrain90]

Glad you ladies are doing well. Angel- yay for a more normal cycle without any meds!
Cupcake- I agree it sounds like you did O, hopefully tomorrow's temp will show it.

AFM, currently fighting a stomach bug. My poor DH has had this since Wednesday (mostly bowel issues) and then last night the vomiting started, and now I've got it.

I've been taking Restoralax lately to help with BM, which draws fluids into your bowel. I'm thinking this is the reason I have had nothing but dry heaving since I started getting sick, so I'm definitely dehydrated. I'm ready for this to be done Thank god my dad is gonna take my son for the afternoon so we can just rest.

 

[Angel5000]

Oh no Black!! Hope you start to feel better soon!

 

[cupcake.]

Awe, hope you feel better soon black but happy 14 weeks!

Afm, hello crosshairs. Although now i'm starting to second guess, because the temps seem quite low for post O.. but it does fit with all my symptoms so as of now i'm going with it and hoping my body isn't tricking me

 

[Angel5000]

cupcake - wow those are low post O temps, but they are above the coverline, minus that one surge of temps you had early in the cycle. Looks good. Yay for TWW!

AF came 4 days ago. Bugger!

 

[krissie328]

Cupcake- looks like you had great timing. Fx for a sticky bean.

Sorry the witch showed Lawes.

Angel- you seem very positive. Fx your LP gets better and you get your bfp!!

Black- hope you feel better soon.

Afm, DS has been very sick and I am getting sick now. So no bd happened this weekend. I am certain this is not our cycle. Nothing feels right and I have had no desire to bd. And since I am taking a laid back approach until February I am not going to force it.

 

[cupcake.]

Sorry to hear your poor boy as been sick and you too!

My CH are still there but instead of higher my temps seem to go lower.. i'm really questioning that i did in fact ovulate, which is super frustrating! Breasts seem to feel normal again, but i'm having creamy CM like i usually have post O. Why must my body be so weird

 

[Angel5000]

Lawes - so sorry!!

Krissie - trying to be positive. lol very hard right now, but trying.
Hope you start to feel better soon!

cupcake - I don't know what to say about your temps, except it does seem to still be a temp shift even if it is small. Hopefully tomorrow's temp goes back up and then it won't look so odd. It does seem strange that they are hovering around the Coverline.

 

[cupcake.]

Well I just got relieve of some of the confusion - i started bleeding.

Another anovulatory cycle and they seem to get shorter each time. I am so angry and confused right now, i don't know what I can do.

For the last couple of years my cycles were on the long side and sometimes varied in length, but i must've ovulated almost all the time since my dead giveaway symptoms for impending AF are sore boobs and without ovulation, there's no progesterone and no sore boobs.

I don't know what happened since we started trying that is messing my cycles up so very badly .. i feel really down and defeated about it. We're doing all we can and i'm not even getting a shot at conceiving since i'm not even ovulating. it's not fair

 

[krissie328]

cupcake I am sorry. That is very confusing. Even though you are young and haven't been trying for a year you might want to talk to your doctor. Maybe even take your charts. Although your October one looks like you got pregnant so they would probably tell you to wait since you can get pregnant. So frustrating, I am really sorry hun.

 

[cupcake.]

thanks krissie

Unfortunately I will be having a lot going on until mid february, so we'll keep on like we did until then and if it hasn't happened i'll definitely make an appointment. I know i'm young and haven't tried for a year then either, but now out of 6 monitored cycles I've had 3 anovulatory ones. Granted, of the three ovulatory ones i did get pregnant and had a chemical, but still.

I feel like it's not about being impatient, i have proof that something's not working right and it might be easy to fix. So i definitely don't see a reason to wait it out until I hit the year mark, when i know there's something that needs a bit of medical intervening..

I'm trying to stay positive. I have ovulated before therefore i know i can. If I have regular cycles until mid-february or even get pregnant, that's great. But if not, at least i'll have a plan in place so i don't feel like i'm wasting time.

Hi ladies! Totally spaced on using my clear blue opk for fmu so decided smu without drinking in between (3 hours or so) would be ok. My urine looked very concentrated (probably because I worked out in the interim period).
Iwent from a "low"/open circle on CD11 to solid smiley (high) on this am. I was kinda suspicious as I have not had any of the signs that I normally have leading up to O except a bit of ewcm this afternoon, which typically starts 3 or more days out for me, and because ovulating on CD 12 or 13 would be on the early side or me (and bummed because I am not able to see my husband and with bding timing 3-4 days before o is not ideal). Last cycle I had three days of flashing smiley faces before getting a solid smiley.

I have only one of my beloved wondfo opks, which I used after a four hour hold this afternoon and it is pretty clearly negative.

I think the CB was a false positive - have you guys ever had that with cb?

Frustrating to not be able to redo or reset the test to check. Glaring at that stupid smiley now. I miss my beloved wondfos!

 

[MsRipple]

Took a clear blue digi with a non advanced monitor I used in October and got a smiley. Not sure if those can be reused but i guess I'm ovulating? Maybe today? If so chances this cycle are not nonexistent but they are quite low.

 

[Angel5000]

Cupcake - I'm so sorry. I agree with Krissie, maybe you should talk to your doctor. IF you've had multiple anovulatory cycles that is a reason for concern, I would think they would waive the "one year" requirement and at least look into it. Hopefully when things calm down for you in February you can look into it.

Ripple - I'm pretty sure you can reuse the monitor/handle things for CB. I've never had a false +OPK from the CB Digi's, but I almost always get a +OPK from Wondfo at the same time. I've never used the advanced Digi's though. I say act like it's positive, and go for it.

 

[MsRipple]

Cupcake, I think that is a great plan. You know you can get pregnant, so just some help or information about having more ovulatory cycles will do wonders. Plus I bet just having something on the books just in case will make you feel relieved.

Still unsure what my o timing is. Ran out to the drugstore to buy another non-digital opk (first response), and while it is close to positive (4 hour hold early afternoon), it's definitely not positive. As I typically do get fairly clear positives, I'm not sure if my digitals are right. I will just wait and see and continue to poas. I haven't temped this cycle but I know that my temp usually rises to above 98 degrees by 2-3 dpo, so temping may confirm.

Unfortunately I won't see my husband til this weekend, so not much to do about a positive opk today

 

[krissie328]

Cupcake- sounds like a good plan. I think getting through the holidays and giving yourself a couple more months will be great. And maybe you will get your sticky bean and it won't matter.

MsRipple- hope you see your positive opk soon.

Hi ladies. I've been avoiding checking in because i'm having a horrible week. Early this week a friend of ours (the one who has been helping us with the property we are fixing, and who planned to rent it from us when itw as done) messaged me asking me to give him details regarding a situation he had heard I had witnessed (regarding his wife having a rather public make out session in a bar with a perfect stranger). Unfortunately I HAD seen that occur, and against my better judgement went ahead and told him what I had seen. mostly because i knew this was the 4th man she's cheating on him with, he already know about the other 3, and shes' been abusing him for years. He swore if he found out about another he'd leave her, and he begged me to give him the information so that he could make a legitimate decision.

Needless to say he thanked me, told me he was writing up divorce papers. Next thing I Know I'm being accused of trying to steal him and bieng accused of sleeping with him (by the wife) and then a few hours later the friend calls my husband to tell him that he's decided to forgive his wife, give her another chance, and that his wife has banned him from speaking to me ever again because of this situation. I'm immediately blocked on both his and her phone, and all social media.

Of course, he proceeds to think that we will still rent the property to him. My husband has been avoiding talking to him for a few days while we figure out what we are going to do, and finally yesterday asks him how he thinks that's going to work when he's banned from speaking to me. And the ******* has the gall to tell my husband taht "well the property is really in your name and your brothers, so she isn't really the owner anyway. So we can just communicate with you. I don't see why we have to get her involved at all". yeah, wrong thing to say to DH. And me.

Argument ensues and he conceeds that if, as the landlord, I wanted or needed to contact him, I could be permitted to do so via email. Or a house landline. Yeah, my husband decided that was not adequate. So we told him to return his keys to my brother in law and that we won't be renting to him anymore.

Unfortunately now we don't have a plumber to finish teh work on the house, and we suddenly have to pay back a bunch of things that he had purchased for repairs. Of course, he tried to tell us we have to pay him for the washer/dryer/stove he bought and we said absolutely not because we told him NOT to buy those in the first place and it's not our fault he decided he wanted a brand new one instead of the ones we were providing.

Anyway, we are sort of stuck in a bind and are now several thousand dollars in the whole over a house we aren't sure we can finish. My husband never wanted to fix the place in teh first place, he always wanted to just sell it for whatever little e could get and now we're both very frustrated and very hurt. I've spent most of this week in tears.
