October Sticky Beans!

[cscbeth8421]

Yea, this weekend vacation is JUST the therapy i needed! My temps are all over, but i also have been indulging on alcohol a bit on vacation. So i'm sure that might have something to do with it. Opk's still stark white today. Still early though. Thinking ill O between tues and friday. Ive warned DH. Lol

 

[Angel5000]

So today my CM is a mix of creamy and some creamy that is ew consistency. OPKs are still negative. Today's might be a little darker but not by much. Pic is included.

Today's temp is a big drop compared to before. It is below what FF determined is my cover line IF I did O when it says I did. Could be a sign I'm actually about to O, or if I did O like FF thinks then today would be 5DPO and it could be implantation dip. But I am not convinced.

To me the opks pretty much look the same except the very bottom one which in my mind doesn't scream O, surely you would have picked up even a small amount of the surge..even if you missed the tests should have been a little darker at that time I could be completely wrong though.

AFM took my first OPK tonight and it is darker than my normal ones at this point, very weird. I am only on CD6! I have 31 opks left and this is our last cycle so I will be peeing like a mad woman

In other news I have turned in to a crazy woman. I am good friends with our neighbor who just had a baby on Thursday and bought some wine this morning so I could get a little out of my head tonight and OH says "don't drink too much of that wine they are bringing the baby home today and I know how you women are loving to hold babies" my response was why do you think I bought the wine I finished bleeding out our baby yesterday and you think I want to see theirs? He was definitely taken aback, but it hurts....and I was shocked by the name if this makes any sense, Thursday morning she text me a pic of the baby with her name, it's beautiful, Annabelle rose, but I started bawling because our girl name is Adelaide rose, it just feels too close for comfort. I feel uncomfortable over such a joyous time in her life and I feel terrible about it especially since through this chemical she has been so supportive

So FF gave me dotted CH's?! WTH. Saying i O'd Thursday. Which would be fine, we bd'd Wednesday. My opk's are stark white compared to the one i did last week. But it's still early. My temps still up. Ill keep doing the opk's till late this week and see. I think I'm going to do one now with fmu. So weird.
Todmommy- i totally know how you feel. Don't feel like you're a bad person. Its so tough to be happy for those around you who get what you so desperately want. Hang in there.

 

[cscbeth8421]

Fmu opk. At least there is a line. Im not convinced i ovulated. And ive been taking mucinex so not sure ill see ewcm again. I think my croashairs will change.

Seems like a lot of us are having crazy temps this cycle

caz, i think you should be fine, even with a positive OPK ovulation can still be another day or two away, so maybe you'll be able to BD tmr?

This morning's FMU OPK was quite faint, but I took another one at around 2pm that was a tad bit darker than yesterday's.
I'm thinking O will probably be around tomorrow or maybe tuesday, something like that. We'll definitely BD again today and maybe we'll be able to tomorrow. But just in case we won't, I'll use PreSeed tonight to make sure as many swimmers as possible will be able to stay alive and participate in the race to the egg haha

Holding my wee right now, aiming for another half hour to take another OPK

 

[Angel5000]

Today's temp dropped again, and low and behold I have EWcm this morning. So FF took away the CH and is back to predicting O on TUesday. Which is what I was expecting. Still think it's odd I had so much creamy cm before O this cycle but maybe it's all wonky from the CP. hoping to BD tonight and the next couple days. We haven't got to this week and were traveling this weekend because we had to clean out DHs grandparents estate. Busy and exhausted! If we can BD at least today, and tomorrow that'll be good. Tuesday I have a meeting after work and then Open House for meet the teacher night. So I won't be home until after 9pm. No BD happening prob that day. :/ gotta get it in early

Todmommy my OPKs were way dark for me early in the cycle in that on CD6 I had a ton more color than usual (usually stark white that early). But they never got any darker, just rated the same color until I think yesterday's is a little darker. May be a result of the chemical? The sounds like you may be having a harder time with the chemical than you expected, based on your reaction to your neighbor. this is so hard, we understand that. don't feel bad though, it's perfectly natural to have a hard time feeling happy for others who have what you are so desperately trying for.

Cscbeth sounds like a lot of us are getting weird CH from FF this month. Mine did go away today, so if you haven't had a +OPK yours prob will too.

Caz looks close! You might have time tomorrow since a +OPK may not mean O for a day or so.

Fx for all the O about to happen. Looking good ladies!!

 

[caz & bob]

going to do another tomorrow and try and get bd in xx

 

[Blackrain90]

Wow ladies, your temps are all over the place!

Angel, with your recent temps, I agree that you likely didn't ovulate yet, especially since your tests haven't come close to positive.
Beth, if your tests are getting lighter again it is possible you did O, guess it will depend how the next couple days go.

Caz I think the top is darker but bottom is closer colour to its control line.

Cupcake, I hope your timing works with your O!

Todmommy, it is definitely hard to see someone else's baby when you have lost one. Especially with a name close to what you've picked. When I just found out I wasn't pregnant, my sister in law announced she was pregnant at Christmas dinner (first try, and they weren't really the ideal couple to be having a baby) and I had to force myself to be happy, but immediately had to leave the room to sob and was miserable the rest of the weekend.
It's perfectly understandable that you wouldn't want to see someone's baby right now. It will take some time, but eventually it gets easier- right now you just need to let yourself grieve.

AFM, OPKs aren't really getting too much darker yet. Hopefully this evening's test will be a bit darker. Running out of OPKs so can't go crazy with the testing, but have enough to do 2/day until about CD17. So hopefully I O by then!

 

[Blackrain90]

I don't really feel like they are getting darker..

 

[Angel5000]

Black - I agree I think I am going to O in a few days. Getting excited, I like seeing the signs that point to O and now I don't feel as confused your OPKs all look about the Same to me. The bottom one may be a smidge darker than early ones but I dont see huge progression yet

 

[MsRipple]

OPKs on my end are lightish, cd 11. hoping i will ovulate around cd 18 - later would not be good logistically for bd purposes!

debating stopping evening primrose earlier than ov (first cycle I've tried since CD 1) as I've read that i can sometimes delay ovulation. But my CM is more abundant, which may be due at least in part to EPO! So confusing!

 

[MsRipple]

I don't really feel like they are getting darker..

They don't look darker in the pic, but lots of things can affect day to day shading.....
But that is an impressive photo lineup!

 

[Angel5000]

Today's OPK is no darker than the others, but I'm hoping that by tomorrow it'll start to darken. Tuesday is a really bad day for us in terms of schedules so it would be best if I O'd on Monday (tomorrow) or a little later like Thursday, giving me time to get plenty of BD time in. The goal is to get in today and tomorrow, skip Tues because of working late and then if I get a +OPK on Tues then do Wed/Thurs. Hopefully.

 

[Blackrain90]

Hope your dates work out for you Angel, if they haven't gotten darker I doubt you would O on Tuesday. If you do, at least you are still covered!

Ripple, I don't really know much about EPO but hopefully it doesn't push your O day back much.

 

[Blackrain90]

CD13 am/pm and CD14 am/pm.

So, I swear, my body just wants to mess with me. This morning had large amounts of EWcm. This afternoon it was EW consistency but creamy color, with some regular creamy mixed in. This evening completely creamy/lotion look and feel. SO WEIRD.

however, this is where having the Kindara app is kind of cool. I like FF for 99% of what I want it to do, but Kindara lets me record multiple types of CM for the day and creates a level of "fertileness" based on the combination. Which I do like and makes me feel like I can better record what's going on. In FF I just make a note of what I'm getting and record the most fertile option.

Thanks blackrain. I was hoping this evening mine would be a little darker, but doesn't look like it (though it was only a 2 hour hold). Your OPKs look like they are getting darker though! So exciting as we are all starting to gear up for O!
