October Sticky Beans!

[Angel5000]

I'm at CD 16 and while I should O soon (FF and Kindara predict O by Monday), I don't think I'm going to O "on time" This month. I'm still having lots of creamy CM, and I haven't started to get anything that looks like EW yet. Still have lots of Wondfo OPKs so I'm not worried about that but I'm barely getting a line atm so I'm really nervous I won't O for another week or more. Stupid temps keep jumping around. I'm still running really pretty high for me. I can't believe its CD16 and I still haven't dropped into the 96s yet!

I did go sign up at the gym that is across the street from my job today. I won't workout at home, once I walk through the door to the house I'm done, but I'm hoping that I can make myself walk across the street, work out, and then go home. FX I make it! I might as well be healthy while I'm TTC. Plus, I'm hoping it'l help with stress relief.

todmommy my niece did the same thing when they were testing hre for possibly going into early Kinder. She kept saying she couldn't do something or had trouble doing it, and then she got home and we had her do a lot of the things they asked her to do and she did them no problem! sometimes I think kids just do what they want to do.

Boston OMG That line is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! There's no way that's a false positive. OMG that is GORGEOUS. I keep looking at how beautiful it is!!

..... if you had told me a year ago I would be talking about how a line on a pee stick is considered "beautiful" (like art work, really) I would have called you crazy. hehe.

Good morning

9dpo for me. Although i'm back home i didn't manage to temp, because my lovely dear OH decided it was a good night for snoring like a mad bear haha i woke up pretty much every hour so temping would've been pointless.

And although i was kind of thinking i would, i also didn't test today haha maybe if i manage to temp tomorrow morning and my temperature is quite high i'll test. 10dpo then, i should probably be able to get a positive if i really am pregnant.

I wish i could just go to bed again and fall asleep until tomorrow morning hahaha

Congrats Boston! Maybe it's twins!

Wouldn't that be something! Took another FRER this morning...because why not lol still very positive. The test line was even a little darker than the control. love all the happy wishes from all you BnB ladies!

 

[Angel5000]

My temps are annoying me. LoL I want them to drop, stay low for a couple days, and I want to O, damn it! OPKs are not getting any darker either. What an annoyance.

So glad this thread has brought so much good luck to our group though!!!

I re-read what I wrote and thought it sounded like BDing straight for a week and a half straight, -_- hahaha. Well…seems tonight might be the night to break our streak. DH is so tired. We were fasting today, went out to have some dinner after the fasting was over and now he's exhausted.

I never thought that it would feel like a chore, but after day 4 both of us were kind of like okay, lets just do this. hahah. Day 6 and I dunno if its going to happen

BostonLover89
CONGRATS!!


I think I need to ask DH to give me this one night before I give him a break. I had some EWCM just now for the first time this cycle.

Final exams tomorrow and Monday and then a week and a half of prep work for the next term

 

[Angel5000]

Today I got a hint of what might be the start of EWcm!! Mostly creamy with some EW consistency. Quite a bit of it though. Hoping it means EW is coming! Also, DH said that today's OPK looks definitely darker than the previous ones, even though it's still clearly negative. I'll take any bit darker at this point!

Thinking tonight is time to start the BD train. Gonna try for every 3rd day until I get +OPK and then do the day of the +OPK until I get the confirmed CH. Hopefully that isn't too long now.

Yay for EW cm!! Hopefully he can muster it up for one more night.

Didn't happen last night, but my temp went way back down today after being up yesterday. I really wonder what my chart would look like if I was able to temp at a consistent time .

Will try again today with DH and hope for the best. Maybe this temp drop will lead to confirmed O on my charts .

Good morning ladies

I tested this morning, Maybe it's still too early, but I feel like seeing it pushed me back to reality, that even though everything seemed perfect, this might still not be my lucky cycle

anyways, here's my BFN to feed everyone's POAS addiction haha

Hey ladies! Sorry about being MIA. I'm now CD15. Plenty of humping going on. Lots of stress though, I think TTC is the only thing getting me through ATM. I had EWCM yesterday so DTD yesterday and today. The Ovia app has me ovulating on Wednesday.

 

[Lawes1987]

Congrats Boston! Only just read back. That's a very positive positively! Lol.

How is your pregnancy progressing Black?

 

[MsRipple]

It's still quite early so fingers crossed for you cupcake!

On cd 15- my guess is I either ovulated yesterday or will tomorrow. Got a smiley face on CB yesterday but open circle this am (though wondfo looked positive or very close still this am). The other times I have used opks I had a two day surge and ovulated 2 to 3 days after the first positive. Not sure if this changed this cycle. Will try to bd tonight if possible

I found any interesting article summarizing timing of lh surges if anyone is interested

So last night while BD I had a moment of thought flash through my head that was like "WTF if I get pregnant this cycle I could end up missing the first month of school and the school could choose not to renew my contact because who wants a teacher who can't be there the first month". This was mid-BD and just popped up unexpectedly. Almost had a panic attack. I need to get my stress under control though because yesterday was an over-the-top kind of stress day. Looking back now I"m like WTF was that doing going through my head mid-BD!

Logically: The school CAN choose not to renew my contract with no reason because this is my first year at this school. However, if I were to announce I was pregnant and then they chose not to renew my contract there'd be a whole uproar about it being because I was pregnant and it would be very bad for the school. So I know it probably won't happen that way, just a moment of crazy in my head.

My cousin and I talked yesterday (we rarely talk) and found out she's trying too. She and I are same age, she's 1 month older (almost to the day) and she has one son (she got pregnant senior year of high school we're 30 now), but she is ready for a second kid. Part of me is thrilled that she's also trying and also been having some trouble, because I don't feel so alone. The other part is terrified that she'll get pregnant first and that'll be yet another person who "beat me to it". :/

Life as a TTC woman can be so complicated sometimes!

lvksa Sorry you didn't get to BD last night, but FX that temp drop is a good thing leading to O!

cupcake Sorry about the BFN. Q: what do you do to put pics in so that they are in the actual body of your message instead of being an attachment? Are you uploading as attachment or using a different method?

Lawes Welcome back. Sorry you're under a lot of stress. Me too. In fact, TTC is one of the things I'm looking forward to that's helping me keep my head above water right now with everything else, so I can sort of understand. Hopefully the stress goes away.

Ripple Thanks for the article! That looks interesting! Going to read it this afternoon!

I don't insert the picture as an attachment. When you upload a picture to get a URL for it ( you can use a site like tinypic.com for that) you can insert pictures using the codes like you would in the signature. So [ IMG ] URL of picture [ /IMG ]

Without the spaces though

Feeling very down tonight. Definitely thinking too much. DH is exhausted. I don't even have to heart to ask him for anything. No BD yesterday and now is 10:20 pm with little to know chance that he will be up for it tonight before bed. Obviously I don't know if/when I O'd (or if it has even happened yet at all) but I'm feeling a bit defeated...like something is telling me it's not going to happen. I don't know if it's because it feels like the last week was wasted effort of BDing everyday or if it's because I know next month it probably won't happen because of work travel.

Oof, sorry girls, for such a negative post.

 

[Angel5000]

Thanks cupcake! Maybe I'll try that!

lvksa - Honestly, based on your temps I don't think you've O'd yet. I think you might O today or i nthe next day or two. Those guys can live up to a few days, so hopefully you are still in the game. Feel free to be negative, we all need to vent sometimes. Maybe tomorrow you can get some in and still have a chance?

 

[mrscletus]

Ivska- I am in the same boat this month. Didn't bd as much as I wanted. Only once... But my temps are still up so you aren't out yet. It's hard to not get down when you feel you aren't doing everything you can.. Hang in there

 

[todmommy4568]

cupcake - There is still time!

Lawes & Ripple - yay for O coming up soon, how exciting! GL catching that egg!

Angel - I hear ya! It's like you want to be so happy for people and part of you is happy that they are struggling and then for me that makes me feel bad that I think that way it is a never ending complicated circle!

Ivksa - don't count yourself out yet! The BD'ing was not wasted, I'm sure there are some strong swimmers up there waiting to get at that egg!

Cletus - your chart is looking really good!
