So it looks like my body is doing a "slow rise" with my temps. Blah. I was hoping for a shoot up today so I could easily say "yeah, I definitely O'd". We made sure to BD yesterday and the day day before. Funny enough, after 2 days of almost 2 CM what so ever (even checking at the cervix itself), and what little I got was almost creamy not so much EW, yesterday I had TONS of EWcm by the afternoon.Not sure if it was my body just sorting itself out, or if the large amount of grapefruit juice helped (freshly squeezed myself - so nothing but pure grapefruit).
By SMEP we should do it again today, take tomorrow off and then do it Saturday. I don't know if I'll be able to do today. I'm so exhausted, didn't get to sleep as early as I would have liked, and even last night I was so ready to go to sleep but "rallied" because I desperately want this BFP this month.
DH told me yesterday he thinks I'm being too scientific about the whole process. Funny, coming from him, who is very science based. I pointed out that thanks to my low libido combined with our busy lives (I have work + grad school + lesson plans and grading; he has work + his family's estate + classes for his apprenticeship + overtime) we average about once a week, sometimes twice a week of sex on our own. And that always falls on a weekend, and if we look at when I'm ovulating, we would have missed the window every month so far. Sooooo I'm going to continue to be scientific about it.
Besides, I like knowing what my body is doing. Sorry for the rant guys. Lol
Pnut - I'm going to see if she wants to join. She's not really into the "online socializing" like I am but she might want the support. For now the whole idea is overwhelming to her, so it'll probably take awhile. She told me she's skipping the OPKs for hte moment until she figures out temping first. It's all a lot for her. But, in her case she has an incredibly high sex drive (honestly, we are completely opposites, if I Could have some of her drive, just a little, then we'd all be happier
) and so they don't usually have to worry about not BDing enough.
todmommy The doctor told her to temp and track and go back in 3-4 cycles with her charts. So there may be a chance that if she tracks for 3-4 cycles and things look really wonky they might do something a little sooner.
Your OPKs DO look like they are getting darker! That last one anyway looks def darker than the previous ones. The blinky smiley face mean high fertility, but not yet Peak, right? I do the same thing though, feel silly if we didn't DTD the night before and then I get a +. Funny how we all know it's sort of irrational, but we all feel that way anyway.
cupcake I suggested the Vitex to her (agnus castus). She said that her cycles were regular(ish) the lat couple and then this one was really long. I pointed out that this last cycle is when they started dealing with custody issues with her DH's ex so it's very possible that delayed her O which would delay AF. She wants to try a cycle or two naturally. I think she's afraid if she uses the vitex to regulate and then has issues getting pregnant they'll take longer to help her but I don't know. We'll see. Vitex ahs done such amazing things for me that I just want to tell everyone to take it! LoL! And, I don't know what it'll do if she has PCOS so I'm hesitant there without doing a lot more research.
Ivksa Wow. What a different world. Kind of cool, but definitely different. It's a little hard for me to imagine, except to remember college days when we stayed up late and then got up to go about life the next morning and took naps in the afternoon to make up for it. Now I want my 8-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. LoL! I guess thats going to change once I get my BFP.
Are you originally from that same area/culture ? Or did you have to adjust when you married your husband? Do you mind me asking? I'm just so curious.
cscbeth Yay for TWW! I love getting the CH and then being able to say "I'm 3 days into TWW". So exciting.

when it is the last possible month before a break do anything and everything you can! As far as the BD'ing I know its hard to want to sometimes but just keep in mind that it's only a couple more days and then you can slow down
