Shaking off the bad ju-ju - 3DPO, late O ...hey! ho!

[malinko]

Good morning. Have a break so I HAD to get on here! I love your posts , so keep them coming! How is your back pain doing? Cramps?

Glad to hear the Judges ruled in your favor! Haha. Quite the panel too

I got a significant dip today...actually to my coverline. I'm pretty worried now. We will see what tomorrow's temps do. I hope and pray for a temp spike and then stay high. I'm sure AF will come soon though. Had some pretty bad "pokes" on my left side this morning while laying in bed but gone now. Nothing going on since then. Didn't sleep well last night...so maybe that too affected temps.

DH and I had a long distance relationship for three years, so we are used to having to be apart sometimes. It's not very often that either one of us have to travel so it's okay...but doesn't make it an easier when we are apart.

Googling the heck out of temp drop to coverline on 8dpo today! STAY AWAY AF!!!!!! I'll be on through to out the day and posting

 

[Wish2BMom]

That's what I had too!! A dip to my coverline at 6dpo and then a slow crawl up since then. I have more like rolling hills now instead of spikes and drops!
if you get a spike tomorrow I'm going to celebrate that you implanted today!!!

backache is still there but cramps don't seem to be. I had some pokes overnight too, on my left side (think that's where I O'd from) - they felt like O pains. Just went 'to the loo' like our UK friends say and no spotting, so that's good.
another thing that happened when I went to bed and overnight - my knees were killing me! like joint pain. Could be cuz I'm old, I guess!! HAHA I don't know if joint pain is a thing but whatever. Now I'm just complaining about every little thing!!

I posted a poem but it'll probably get buried - you might enjoy!

Borrowed from "Sick" By Shel Silverstein
TWW by Wish2BMom

'I’m in my two week wait today'
Said Wish2BaMomSomeday
'I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
My CP’s high and wet and soft
Headaches, gassy, always peein'
Don't you think my CM looks green?
My leg is cut-my eyes are blue-
It might be instamatic flu?
I cough and sneeze, hiccup and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke-
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My uterus pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My BBT is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is-what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say AF came today?
UGH!! On to yet another day.

I would be SO excited for a temp spike tomorrow!!! It'll probably be like my other rises though and just be slow. No symptoms since my last post. Trying not to read into it but wish I could just go to sleep, wake up, and have a temp increase.

How's your day going so far?

 

[malinko]

Forgot to say....LOVE that poem! Made me laugh out loud! Thanks for sharing!!!

 

[Wish2BMom]

I am bored out of my ghourd so I've been on this site basically all day. It's not healthy!! And I feel the same way - I just want the day to pass so I can get to bed to temp again tomorrow morning! ALSO not healthy!! haha

back still hurts, no spotting. No real cm - did you see my last question yesterday (understood if you missed it amongst my 13 posts...)? when you still have cm, creamy I guess, but it's very little and just making marks on your underwear but isn't there when you wipe or whatever, how do you mark that in FF? is that 'dry' or do you keep it as creamy?

I should go clean my house or workout or do something productive...

glad you liked the poem!

 

[malinko]

Hey there. I still mark it is creamy. Yesterday I noticed it some on my underwear but not when I wipe. I also notice it when checking my cervical position. Sometimes it's on my underwear and thick and sticky so I'll mark that as sticky. Few more cramps here and there but that's it.

I've been googling the heck out of second estrogen surges today. I'm officially in my obsessed, craziness of my tww.

 

[Wish2BMom]

welcome to the obsession!! It's about time!! hahaha
I think I've actually run out of things to google. And I think all of my symptoms have maybe disappeared for the day. They seem to just come and go, I guess. Even my bbs aren't that sore now unless I press on the sore spots and they were hurting last night.

yeah, just checked my cervix and had more cm than the last couple of days, so that's good! I'll mark as creamy! hooray! 31 pts on the symptom scale or whatever!

thankfully I have dinner plans with a couple of my aunts tonight so that'll send me RIGHT into the night. Then I get to go to sleep and have weird dreams and wake up to temp again! BEST BE HIGH. Unfortunately, I shouldn't have a glass of wine and I really want one badly!!

PS - I have one cat that will not leave me alone and I always wonder, 'does she know something I don't??'

 

[malinko]

I think I have run out of things to Google as well and still haven't found that "ah ha" moment. In fact, I'm sure I've read the same sites over and over. Ugh.

I've had some sharp pains right above my public bone but it comes and goes. It doesn't feel like cramps but only probably because I don't want them to be. I've been having off and on cramps on my right side too....so it's not just my left side. Probably AF will come over the weekend or no later than this time next week.

Have a glass of wine tonight. It shouldn't hurt anything. I'd only have one though. I had one last night!

Keep me updated on the kitty! They do have those weird senses!

Oh...and what is it with all these celebrities expecting? Mila and Ashton, Stacey Kiebler, Ashley and JO from the bachelorette.....what the heck?!?! I'm getting jealous.

 

[Wish2BMom]

OHHH! I didn't see that Mila & Ashton were! Oddly enough, that's the name of my kitty that won't leave me alone - Mila I'm totally starting to get jealous when I hear of people getting preg too. HOW do they DO it??

my problem is that every show I'm watching has a storyline about people trying to get pregnant. Not even just that the character happens to be, but an actual 'we need to relax, we can't stress, we have to flip upside down after BD'ing, we need to see a fertility specialist' storyline!! WTH!!

yeah, no 'ah ha' moments here either, dammit. I bookmarked that tww-success stories-symptoms by dpo website that I've been talking about just to compare myself to those stories almost daily. It's rather annoying that I'm barely having symptoms, but there ARE ladies on there that didn't have any and swore AF was coming and she didn't! I'm really dying to test since AF is so close. Friday is going to be the worst, unless I start spotting earlier.

well have a good evening - I'll talk to you in the morning!

 

[malinko]

You have a nice times with your aunts! Going to have dinner with some coworkers so hopefully that'll be somewhat distracting!

F's for my temps to spike tomorrow morning and not sure what you want yours to do (I'm guessing just keep rising) but I hope it's what you want. It'd be awesome if we could get our bfp's together! Try to have a good night's rest and anxious to talk tomorrow morning!!!

 

[malinko]

So I think I'm having pre-af symptoms. Starting to have some cramps (not super sharp but not dull), and my low back is starting to get tight and sometimes sore. I'm also tired. Could be due to late night last night, long day, sleeping in different bed, etc. but also super tired before/during af. Still hoping for a temp rise tomorrow and next couple of days. Is that too much to ask for?

Sorry about any and all typos. It's not as easy posting from my phone. Good night! Talk to you in the morning.

 

[malinko]

Only .2 rise in temp. Really? This is frustrating. I'm sure AF will show in a few days.

 

[Wish2BMom]

morning! sounds like you had a fun night last night! a .2 rise is GOOD!!! not everyone gets the implantation dip so as long as you just stay high, that's awesome! Tough to tell about the sleepiness, though - it could be any of those - pre-af, traveling/working all day/late night OR pregnancy. The day before AF I find that I get that, but only that one day.
Where are you in your travels, anywhere fun?

soooooo - mine dropped again this morning to BELOW the coverline. I'm so BS right now (sorry if that offends, I swear like a trucker sometimes!), I'm sad too. I feel like AF cramps are coming on as well, good times. I know that this happens and the temp can spike again and all could be well but realistically, AF is right around the corner. BBs are very sore now, I got my typical night sweats last night. All of the usual signs. And I think yesterday was my 'eat everything in sight and don't stop' day, until dinner. I could have cooked a better meal than those cooks! And I was SO GOOD about wine too - I had one glass and the server asked if we wanted another round. I didn't say yes, but I said yes on behalf of one of my aunts and the server thought I was saying it for me so she brought me a glass. I have a hard time sending stuff back so i just kept it and I only had 2 sips out of it! so 1 glass and 2 sips I sound like a complete alcoholic right now, celebrating this, but I swear I'm not! haha

so I did some chart compares to my post-O temps and there are some out there that still rose after dropping a few times to the coverline, but these ladies were on, like, clomid, BD'ed on O day, used progesterone supps, etc. I was trying to think of how I would feel about my symptoms if I wasn't temping. I think I'd assume AF is coming.

anyway - sorry for the book and all the whining!! I hope you are having a good morning!

 

[Wish2BMom]

I just checked your chart again and it looks good!! I don't know what I was thinking about no dip for you - that was yesterday! I totally get what you're saying now about the .2 rise, but a rise is good either way! I understand if you want to fume. I'll be positive for you, you fume away! hahaha

 

[malinko]

I'm at a business meeting and staying at The Lodge at Geneva in Northern Ohio. It's beautiful but I am ready to go back home (southern Ohio). It's so cold up here.

Good job on the wine!!!!! I can say no to another glass but if it's in front of me....I wouldn't have been able to only take two sips! My glass would have been empty!!!! Great job on the self control! Sorry to hear the dinner was chappy but hope you enjoyed time with your aunts.

Do you normally drop below coverline? Maybe you'll get a spike tomorrow. You know...9 dpo is the most common day for implantation so don't give up hope yet

I'm reading through posts today to see what things to try for next month. I've heard people taking mucinex before o. Going to research that. I'm also wondering if I should try progesterone cream. My temps don't seem very high.
Even though I'm disappointed with my temps...I'm glad I'm temping and have an idea af is coming. Otherwise I'd still be really wondering and the next few days would be terrible. At least I won't be AS crushed (Trying to be a positive Debbie Downer!)

 

[Wish2BMom]

well I shall hold on to that little glimmer of hope then and keep fingers crossed that this is just implantation.

I've been thinking about progesterone cream too - my temps are definitely not that high or at least staying that high. I'm also wondering if I O too late for my cycle. I know that the LP is supposed to be the same length each time - depending on when AF comes this month, I'm probably around 12 days. Last month was such a bust, I'm not comparing anything to that month and it was the first time (since Oct, and that was on a paper that I threw out) that I temped. So yes, I dipped below the coverline then, but I only had a 7 day LP, if I O'ed at all. I think FF was trying to make something outta nothing!

 

[Wish2BMom]

I just tested!!! BFN as expected but at least that's what I'll go into the weekend feeling and if I don't get AF, then I'll try again on Monday or something. I needed to get out the jitters and get a result in my head one way or the other and get it over with. Like ripping off a band-aid!
I know 9dpo is still too early to see, even FF says that only 17.9% of pregnancies are seen at 9dpo.
My back still hurts, bbs still hurt, but cervix feels medium/firm/closed, cm is creamy/wet and no signs of spotting. So at least that's all good.

how are you feeling today so far?

 

[malinko]

If today is by chance an implantation dip, I wouldn't think you'd get a positive result maybe 2 days later? I would think a couple of days would detect some hcg. Just guessing though. Not out yet

Not really any symptoms now. This morning my nose was really stuffy while still laying down and once I was up and moving around then it was runny. But that has cleared up too. So that's about it so far. My cm seems to be starting to dry up and I haven't checked cp.

Boring afternoon so I'll be on quite a bit today.

 

[Wish2BMom]

yeah, that's what i was thinking about the testing - I'll most likely know more by then anyway b/c that'll be Saturday when AF will most likely rear her ugly little head.

so this is weird - all cramping has subsided and I almost feel like my bbs are barely sore. Last night they were killing me. I've read about people having symptoms and then they just stop. I usually have sore bbs through the first couple days of AF. I'm weirded out right now, I'm sure they'll be sore again in an hour.

also, checked cp again in the shower - creamy cm! not enough to do much on underwear, but plenty on my finger. And to be completely honest, I'm only guessing it's closed b/c I can't really feel an opening, but I am not anywhere close to sure on that! I feel like it's sideways or something - very awkward trying to figure that thing out.

I swear my nose is always runny or a little stuffy, so I can't even count on that. Especially in the winter (and yes, I'm still calling this winter until I see some REAL spring weather!!) I hope it's abnormal for you!
