October Sticky Beans!

[cscbeth8421]

Well seems my ewcm was just my body doing what its supposed to. Still days away from ovulation. Began taking mucinex tonight.

 

[Angel5000]

my OPK looks a lot like yours cscbeth.

 

[Angel5000]

My body is confusing the heck out of me. I just checked my cervix and it is high and VERY soft and my CM is creamy/lotiony, and there's was a LOT of it. As odd as this is, there was a small amount of it that was also EW consistency but still cream/lotion look. I don't think I have ever really had creamy before O (especially not this amount!) and I don't usually have a lot of creamy O like this.

So let me lay it all out:

Ever since chemical my cervix has been high and soft, it never dropped at all that I can tell (unless it went low the couple days of heavier bleeding duringAF because I only checked during the last couple days when I was spotting).

My OPKs are negative. They aren't getting any darker or lighter since as early as 5DPO. I usually show a progressively darker OPKs. I had several days where I marked my CM as sticky but I wasn't sure because I checked and it seemed really watery, but it was like there was some sticky there and since the OPK was negative and I don't usually ever get watery CM, it was logical to assume it was sticky cm.

My temps were flat for several days then rose for 2 days, today's temp isn't even remotely reliable (the one in my FF is based on 3:30am with adjustment, because my 5am temp is high and inaccurate). FF was going to give me CH and call me 3DPO if today's 5am temp had been accurate.

.... is it actually possible I did O a few days ago ? Because if I was still going to O on time (approximately Monday), I should have EWcm about now (that's what usually happens), but certainly not creamy.

And, should I stop taking the EPO just in case?

Angel, that does seem confusing.. sorry i can't be of much help

I'm a bit confused as well.. in the beginning of my cycle my temps were really steady, now it's jumping up and down and i don't know why..
OPKs are still negative, looking about the same as yours, beth.

Ah well just gotta wait and see

 

[cscbeth8421]

Angel, i think i would just assume you will O around the same time you usually do. Is there any reason to not take the epo for a few more days? I dont think you have ovulated yet. Maybe youll have ovulation dip?
My temp jumped today as well, weird. Though i know i didnt O because i took opk last night. Headed to the beach in a couple hrs after breakfast! Cant wait!

@angel. I had some ewcm mixed in last month and I thought I had o ed early but it turned to be a week before o!

 

[MsRipple]

Cd 9 for me. Expecting to o cd 15 to 19. Wish I could tell when. Luckily my work schedule flexible so I will try to rush home (currently work in a city 3 hours from dh so it's complicated if I ovulate on the earlier side

Took my first ppl of the cycle today and def negative!

 

[todmommy4568]

@angel that is very confusing! I am thinking you probably haven't O'd, there is an obvious temp rise but it's not super high. My cervix came down the second day of bleeding and was high again by yesterday so maybe it's just a weird chemical fluke. I hope you get your answer soon

@beth enjoy your vacation!!

@ripple good luck catching that egg, hopefully it comes at a convenient time!

AFM not sure when to start taking opks, I am thinking maybe cd 8 just to cover bases even though I don't normally O until between cd 18-20. On second thought maybe I will just count out how many opks I have left and time it to use them up since this is our last month I think my bleeding has ended, it seemed heavy yesterday but didn't wear anything to bed and had nothing on the toilet paper this morning so it should be the end....I am thinking I am prepared to try, now I just need an eggy to fertilize!!

 

[Angel5000]

Thanks for the advice everyone! Today's temp was 97.45, which actually would be in line with what to expect if I did O as FF was predicting (coverline at 97.3 ish). It is not abnormal for me to have a cover line around 97.3, my temps are really low. However, I'm still not even remotely convinced I O'd. Meant to BD last night, trying to keep to SMEP but I was exhausted after a full day of training and then coming home to do grading and lesson plans, and so by the time we went to bed I Could barely keep my eyes open. Not exactly conducive to BD.

This morning, cervix is so high I can't reach it. It's often higher in the morning, so will check this afternoon and see what it is up to. Tonight we are driving to our hometown (3 hrs) to spend the weekend working on DH's grandparents estate. We have to get it cleared out by the first of the month and we have a LOT to do. Staying at my parents house so getting in BD this weekend will be tricky. Going to try anyway just in case I do still O on time.

cscbeth They say to stop EPO at Ovulation because it can cause MC. I don't know if it would have a huge effect or not, which is why I'm not sure. Have fun at the beach! We'll be "at the beach" too, just not actually AT a beach. lol.

todmommy Good luck! I hope we both get our BFP this month!!

Hey ladies! Been the day from hell so have been super busy but have been trying to stalk!

My opk's seem a bit darker than they were this time last cycle, thinking I may O a day early...otherwise nothing big happening here lol. Haven't been keeping up with BD due to sheer exhaustion from the long week. Company and plans this weekend but I am determined to hopefully BD 2 days before, 1 day before and day of O this month. Fx'd for all of us this month!

 

[cupcake.]

Well, Angel, seems like we're in the same boat?
FF just gave me dotted CH this morning and says I'm 3DPO. Obviously, I get why it would think that, my temps are weird this cycle but I didn't have any other fertility signs, not even wet CM yet, not even almost positive OPS so I'm definitely not conviced I really did O already.
Also, I'm only CD13 today, so Ovulation on CD10? When my last O's were CD 20 and CD17? I highly doubt it..

But I am glad that we started BDing quite early, because if I did O on CD10 at least we BD CD9 and CD10 so that's a relief.

I will keep on taking OPKs though and just see what my temps are doing over the next couple days.. I really don't think I already O'ed so we're also going to keep BDing just to be safe.

 

[cscbeth8421]

My temps are allllll over! ahhhhhhhhh

 

[Angel5000]

Cupcake - welcome to my crazy world!

So today's temp dropped and FF still has CH but if I put back in that one temp that I threw out (using the low adjusted one), they take them away and if I discard it they keep the CH.

Cervix is still high and soft, almost can't reach it, CM is still creamy. The creamy CM is throwing me off. Don't usually have the lotion style stuff before O. It's the only thing that might make me think FF could be right. But, no +OPK yet.

I guess we will see how things go the next few days. I almost hope I did O early. We BD at the right times for that. And then I'd be almost through this cycle. Lol.

 

[cupcake.]

I actually decided to discard todays temp. It's not 100% reliable because i woke up extremely sick (like i actually bad to throw up..) at about 2 am and i temp at 5 so if i had slept through my temp would probably have been lower.

And also i just took an OPK and got a pretty good line. Not positive but all my tests before were super faint and compared to that this one is a super dark line haha i never got a true positive the the 25mIU tests, but since my other tests were almost squinters i'm thinking O is just around the corner and didn't already happen. BD today already and will tomorrow too.

 

[Blackrain90]

Yeah cupcake I don't think you have yet. Angel, I'm almost inclined to agree with FF. Are your OPK getting darker?

 

[magicalmom2be]

Hey! Just dropping in for the first time! I plan to start TTC in October and hoping for a sticky bean that first month. Fx

Baby dust to all of you lovelies!

 

[Angel5000]

Yeah cupcake I don't think you have yet. Angel, I'm almost inclined to agree with FF. Are your OPK getting darker?

Not really. They look the same to me. Maybe faintly darker. I'll take a pic and upload it this evening (out doing errands all day).

MagicalMom2b welcome!!!!

 

[todmommy4568]

I'm so excited for you guys to O so we can start obsessing over something! I'm sorry temps are looking a little crazy that is so frustrating!

I haven't taken my temp for today or yesterday and honestly I like it lol but I'm so early in my cycle there is no reason to obsess over temps just yet, I'm sure I will start being consistent tomorrow. Me and OH are out shopping and relaxing today, it has been so nice! We bought a fireplace/entertainment center and amazingly found one we both loved that was $200 under budget! I'm so excited!

Beth how is the beach!?

 

[cscbeth8421]

The beach is amazing! Ive been in the ocean a few times and getting sun! This was my veiw this morning with my 15 month old drinking milk and me drinking coffee. So beautiful!!

 

[todmommy4568]

Gorgeous!!
