OPK's vs BBT

[Jess.Taylor21]

My cycle is normally 26 days and my luteal is about 14 which means i should have O'd Wednesday Also my charts not looking great today had lots of Creamy White CM cervix is still HSO but CM isnt great and temp has dropped again! Im starting to wonder whether i even O it would make sense coz of my PCOS & ENDO. Im hoping thats not the case! still having stabbing pains around my ovary area xxx

 

[Jess.Taylor21]

Waiting to O is far worse for me then the tww!

It definitely is hun! specially with the worry of not knowing if its even going to come! Hope yours isnt too far away xxxx

Are you using OPKs? Since you had a temp drop and cramping, you could be ovulating now. xx

 

[Jess.Taylor21]

Yes iv been using them everyday! and still no smiley i dont understand and today i have really creamy CM like Post ovulation!! xx

 

[taylorxx]

It could be transitional CM. CM can sometimes go from dry-sticky-creamy-creamy mixed with watery-ewcm/watery. You could be coming up on ov xx

Argh just to say I feel exactly the same am completely confused when (or if!) my body will ovulate this month!! As I'm on 2 months post BC (my last cycle was 44 days!) am at a loss as to when I will ovulate this month... no positive OPK yet...not even a faint line... and temp seems to not providing any answers. Tried checking my cervic yesterday but as it was the first time was difficult to assess whether it was high or low if that makes sense?! My CM is also odd it changes throughout day...was sticky earlier now creamy then it goes dry again so god know what I'm doing up there

You're still very early so I wouldn't worry about it OPKs can go from very negative to very positive in one day xx

The problem with the temping is it can be different every cyle, even for the same person, also enviromental factors can effect it, sich as A/C,heat, room temp, sleeping with you mouth slightly open etc. I wake up don't move, breathe thru my nose for at least 3 minutes with my mouth shut then temp, LMAO.
Also you won;t know if you are actively O'ing until you have had a sustained thermal shoft which is when FF will give you cross hairs, that is why OPK and temping go hand in hand, OPKs tell you your body is gearing up to O, the temp shift confirms it actually happened.

Hi girlies, thank you so much for being patient with me and for helping me out! Low and behold i went to poas this morning and guess what!!!!! A big Fat smiley

[baby_nurse]

Yay jess so glad you got your positive opk!! Get down to lots of bding this weekend!! Hope my one comes soon! X

 

[mybabyluv3]

Finally huh? Almost there. Soon you will be counting down to testing!! How's the cm looking?

 

[Jess.Taylor21]

Yea finally got my smiley hun!! yea cm was creamy yesterday and then checked this morning and it was clear and wet again!! Taylor must have been right about the transitional cm! not heard of that before!!! mega excited though lots of for me!!! although im away sat night so will have to make up for it on sunday!! do i need to keep using my opks now or can i stop?

Hows things with you hun? good i hope xxxxx

 

[mybabyluv3]

You can use them to see how they start to lighten and know how they look after O.

Now I'm worried. I took soy this cycle and worried that it made me O really early and I may have missed it. I have been using opks and getting lines but not really dark so I would think I am going to O soon but from the time af stopped I have been really wet and getting a mix of ewcm. The day after it was really stretchy. I usually don't get much but hear that soy can make you have more or less in some cases. Also, my temps never went up. They just kept getting lower. I usually have higher temps right after O. Then today it went way up again. Bd last night for the first time but by then cm started getting whiter and stickier. Had pains in my left side ystrdy too. I really hope I didn't O yet and missed it. That would be crazy!!

 

[Jess.Taylor21]

I only use the clear blue digi ones so it wither a smiley or a no smiley!? still worth testing or not?

Im sure you havn't missed it hun, my cm was really wet and then went creamy and now its back to wet again! i dont seem to get ewcm just wet lol! well fnx'd for you hun!!! Keep me posted of how u get on xxxxx

 

[mybabyluv3]

Well the ewcm is back!! Going away for the wknd and looks like rain so guess what we will be doing! Haven't taken an opk today yet. Been drinking decaf and water and can't seem to hold off.

Using the digis isn't like using the cheapy sticks. I don't know if I would do anymore. Maybe one if you have.

 

[Jess.Taylor21]

Hi hunny, Yay!!!! sounds like a fun weekend in for you then lots of :Sex: tehee

Im having a right mare this morning!! opk turned neg last night so DTD anyway, but then this morning temp dropped and CM and CP stayed the same with another neg opk!?!?!

Chart still estimating for O'ing between yesterday and sunday but not hopeful now temps have dropped!! maybe im having an a non month! i hope not i dont think i could handle that tbh! What do u think??

Lots of sticky baby dust for you this weekend xxxxxx

 

[mybabyluv3]

I am just as unsure of your chart as you are, sorry. Not sure if after peak before temp rise you would get a negative. Maybe you had a surge but no O and the real one is on its way. It's still early. Last cycle I got a surge then negs and didn't O til cd16. But my temps rose immediately for 2 days. Keep up the bd until you get confirmed o.

,Afm, never tested ystrdy so not sure if it was positive. Today it was just a tad bit lighter than Thurs. Then today I couldn't temps so don't know if it went up or down. Been having pains switching from left to right side for the last couple days. Out of opks too. Hoping I can temp in the morn and get some kind of idea whats going on. Having left sided pains now again. I hope having pains on both sides means something. Only my right tube is open and I'm almost certain I O'd on my right last month.

Hopefully we will both know something by the end of this wknd so we can move on to the ttw. Babydust!!

 

[Jess.Taylor21]

Hey hunny, how'd your weekend go??

Im officially on my 2ww had my temp rise this morning so im happy!!!!! hope you got yours too sweetie i got pains on both sides too and back pain as well!

Lots of babydust to you xxxxxxx

 

[mybabyluv3]

Wont be back til tomorrow. Cant wait to get back. Missed taking my temp today again. My cm is changing but not dry yet so I am still in the dark over here. Yay for you though. How are you feeling so far? Start symptom spotting yet?

 

[Jess.Taylor21]

I bet bless you, i hated being away from my OH just for 1 night well im confused my chart doesnt look great this morning massive temp dip so im thinking no O! might take a trip to the docs on monday to see if it might be my PCOS and ENDO causing the missfire on O fingers crossed for you though hun xxxxx
