October Sticky Beans!

[mrscletus]

Hi everyone... So I have definitely been a little MIA- I just needed a break. AF came and is a terrible one, bleeding thru within an hour and terribly crampy. Spent the weekend working and being miserable with AF and the evenings curled up and feeling sorry for myself that I don't get to make an awesome announcement. But I was strong and only tested once this cycle since I was pretty sure we didn't time bd'ing at all!! ok- end rant/pity party!!

Cupcake- I am so sorry, fx that this month you will time bd and get the sticky bean!!

Krissie- sorry you are going thru a bad time as well. I agree with todd maybe do some NTNP months...

Todd- I wish I could accidentally get pregnant! LOL

And in other news- on to this cycle with positive thoughts. We leave for a week in Disney on Saturday which means I should O while we are in the most magical place on earth!! And I plan to have the kids spend a couple nights in my MIL's room (she offered) so that we can get our baby grooving on. I was hoping to be able to tell MIL/FIL about a new grandchild while we are there, but we can wait and tell them in the future that "the magic REALLY did happen" HAHAHA!!

I am just trying to figure out how I am going to OPK 2x a day in Disney- I may have to just do the morning or night when we get back to the room- what do you girls suggest? I have only caught positives when I was doing 2x a day...

that had me laughing so hard.

As far as OPKs I would probably just do a morning and evening one. If you happen to venture back midday do one then.

I'm so sorry Cupcake! That sucks! Such a positive way to look at it though.

AFM I'm 5dpo and getting a lot of thick white CM. Cramps today and yesterday and I'm emotional today (crying at commercials). Bloating too. Been quite motivated in the lady few days too x

 

[MsRipple]

Lol mscletus - let the magic happen! As for Disneyland, well this may be more than you care to do or know but you can test in a public restroom with a disposable cup or even using the wondfo wrapper as a cup. Lay flat in a protected area in your purse, discreetly check after five min and done!

Or you could just test at night

 

[krissie328]

Ladies!! I am getting quite a bit of EWCM so I am feeling more optimistic that I might actually O soon. I sure hope so. This would be the earliest I O'd since we started trying.

 

[mrscletus]

Oh Krissie--- EWCM is a great sign!! So anxious to hear.

MsRipple- Thanks I never thought of using the wrapper for a cup!! that is genius, and easier to hide than a disposable cup in my purse.

 

[krissie328]

I feel so pathetic today. Seriously that has been the best part of my day. Other than listening to DS giggle when I dropped him off. I am sure he was up to no good. I am having horrible back cramps. Not sure if it is related but they sure have got me off. And I am dizzy and nauseous. Never had that before with O but it does seem hormonal.

Mrs. Ripple- That is a good idea!! I have also used a plastic spoon which would be easy to hide in a purse or bag.

 

[MsRipple]

Ttc has turned me into a poas macguyver

I like the spoon idea! I've also used bottle caps

 

[todmommy4568]

Lmao! I'm sitting here thinking about how awesome these ideas are but at the same time wondering what DH's reaction would be if he read lol

Krissie I hope you are going to O soon!

Cletus I'm sorry you are having a rough go of things I recently heard an "oopsie" announcement I love the girl to death but I was quite envious that she accidentally fell pregnant and she is really not ready to be a mother and then you have all of us who are stable and ready and it just won't happen ugh

 

[AshleyButters]

Hey ladies! Sorry I have been MIA for the weekend! We went to New Orleans for Halloween so I never got around to checking in!

Cupcake- So sorry about the chemical. I had a chemical my first month of trying with my husband. I was so crushed and wished I hadn't even taken any pregnancy tests. Then I would have just thought it was a period. I hated waking up and not being pregnant anymore. Felt like a bad dream

AFM: AF came on Friday, and the heaviest day was on halloween...which happened to be when I had to wear a skimpy little costume for a halloween wedding. Not happy at all!!!!!


Anybody have anything planned for this cycle? I plan on loading up on grapefruit juice, possibly switching to weekly (instead of every other week) acupuncture, and getting some OPK's again.

 

[Angel5000]

I GOT A +OPK!!! I almost didn't test today because when I came home from the gym I'd only had a 2 hour old and I'd drank a 20oz bottles of water while at the gym, but I went ahead and tested before my shower and WOOT! I almost wasn't sure, but confirmed with a solid smiley face on digi. (I've managed to make a pack of digi's last 6 months now. I'm so proud of myself).

Gonna try to BD tonight. Debating about not telling DH it was a +OPK and just trying to keep it "Spontaneous". We don't BD very often during the week, but I am trying to do it a little more often.


todmommy You haven't peed on anything?! On CD16?! *dies* Is there a fainting emoji?!


Krissie sounds like you just need someone to talk to. We're here for you. If DH is okay with NPNT then maybe consider that, I know that since I'm technically supposed to be NPNT this cycle I'm not quite as stressed (though my body not Ovulating had me a little frustrated) but I'm not stressing about when to Bd and just trying to keep it spontaneous and fun. EW sounds great!


Ripple OMG I never thought of using the wrapper as a cup!! That's amazing!

You guys have me dying over here with all these ideas!!

 

[krissie328]

Aww great news Angel!

So ladies, I have a fever. Any suggestions for what to do in fertility friend?

Seriously I've been sick over 3 weeks! Going to the doctor on Thursday as I suspect it is walking pneumonia.

I would keep taking your temp as normal and mark "sick" in the section where you can add symptoms and then maybe add a note if you need to. If it is way off then you can check the "disregard" box but I'd still temp anyway just to be safe.

 

[todmommy4568]

Okay I dipped the stick bahaha. Hopefully they stay negative until Thursday it was a little too dark for comfort but since it was the first test I took who knows it could be normal as I always have lines. I know that egg is comin soon though, by the end of the day today I was so bloated I feel completely gross.

Yay for positives angel!!!!!!

Krissie if you mark "fever" in the specifics it will automatically disregard the temp, I would do that and then if you decide you want the temps included you can uncheck the fever box.

Hi ladies,

Wanted to share my charts with you again. Today's temp went up to 98.02 and things shifted on my ovagraph chart. It was giving me an O day of CD 17, but is now saying CD 24 >_<.

On the advanced setting FF says CD 18. If I switch it to FAM it gives me CD 20.

I attached the three charts if you want to have a look

Maybe you released 2 eggs...one on the 18th and the other on the 20th. TWINS!!!

 

[MsRipple]

Ivska I think for sure either the 18th or 20th (and if I had to choose the 20th). Not the 24th.

Either way your chart looks good!

 

[todmommy4568]

Ivksa I think cd20 looks like the most likely day

 

[cupcake.]

I agree, i feel CD20 is probably most likely, CD24 would seem quite off to me as well. Weird how the other app went ahead and changed the ovulation day..

CD2 and i'm so impatient. I hope that maybe i'll O about as soon as last cycle, which was CD13, but even that is still so far away. Hating the waiting game!

 

[cscbeth8421]

Ivksa - Im saying CD20 as well. Looks good! Fingers crossed!

Ripple - I always use the OPK wrapper as a cup. Rip off the top, remove the test and rip down one side of the wrapper. You can always just hang out in the bathroom for 5 minutes. Guys really have no idea what we are doing in there. Or tell him you had to wait in line. Good luck! Enjoy Disney, Ive never been!
