Wantingagirl that looks super close to Ov! I also have hardly any fertile cm this cycle definitely less than usual if anything. I think it’s my body responding to whatever I’m putting in it.

I read your post about the baby aspirin. I don’t have a clotting problem - I am taking it to make sure my lining isn’t too thick as it builds up for implantation as I have been having large clots during my period and read this can happen with estrogen dominance where the lining gets too thick and you have worse cramps than usual etc because of the lining being too thick. Hoping it helps with implantation as well.

We are going to bd tonight but I think I may only ovulate around cd14 as temps are still quite low and I have like no ewcm

Ok so my usual Ov day was yesterday and no temp rise today so definitely a later Ov for me. Only good news is I’ve started to get a bit more fertile cm and cervix seems higher and softer. I have also felt slightly cramps from yesterday which is different.

I’m hoping it doesn’t delay my Ov too much and that it happens today or tomorrow!

Wantingagirl how are you getting on?

Sweden how are you feeling?

 

[swedengirl]

Really hope Ov is near for you Tesh- you’re definitely showing signs it’s approaching. Maybe a little later means a more mature egg?

I’m doing ok! I had some cramping yesterday which made me really anxious but feeling better today. I booked my early scan this morning for the 9th, so just under 3 weeks away. I really just want to know everything is ok!

 

[Tesh23]

I do hope so! I found my old ovulation ferning Microscope so I started tracking Ov with it today. I’ve got Partial Ferning today do not peak yet. It is nice in a way as it feels like more time to plan bd and not feel like we’re in such a rush. Usually before we know it I’ve ovulated and that’s it lol.

Planning to bd tonight (ewcm seems much more slippery this cycle as well hoping that’s a good thing) and if no temp rise tomorrow will bd again tomorrow until Ov. Which I’m hoping is going to be tomorrow!

Ah 3 weeks will be over before you know it! I can’t wait to see your pics!! Cramping is a good sign this early as long as it isn’t severe. I think there’s a pretty strong bean in there! I know we all just hope and pray for a healthy bub, but do you have any preference for a boy or girl?

 

[Tesh23]

I’m having cramping this evening similar to when AF starts. Maybe Ovulation? Usually if I feel Ov pains but not AF type cramping. Also have lower backache sorta cramps.

This cycle is definitely a different one. Amazing what Maca can do to ones cycle. Can’t believe how much it’s changed my cycle. Fertile cm is their in abundance now to and cervix feels high soft and almost open. I did stop it though two days ago as I feel it was delaying Ov.

I wonder if I must start it again after I confirm Ov. I heard it contains a lot of B vitamins so maybe that’s why the delay in Ovulation?

 

[Tesh23]

Cd15 and still no Ov sigh....

 

[swedengirl]

Great you found your feeling microscope to help you pinpoint O! Any signs of it with that?

It’s crazy how much the maca has changed your cycle! But maybe it’s a good sign, especially if you are having good fertile signs with EWCM and cp.

I had cramps before and around when I Ovd this cycle, it was almost like a trapped wind feeling. And then my cervix tilted and closed once I Ovd. I think the maca gave me strong Ov and I felt Ov pains from both sides. So maybe you’re gearing up for strong O with a nice mature egg?

 

[Tesh23]

I hope so! The cramps are definitely something I haven’t felt around ovualtion before and lasted about 2 hours.

Did you only take maca the cycle of your bfp? When else did you take it and did you take it the same way as this cycle with your bfp?

My ovulation Microscope is showing an almost positive (partial ferning at the moment no peak yet).

I think Ov May be tomorrow cd16 but I really can’t be sure lol. I have been slightly achy/cramps today but not like yesterday.

 

[swedengirl]

I took it one cycle before but a really low dose and not for long. Maybe to cd6- I cant really remember. But I only took 1 capsule then- this cycle I took recommended dose of 3 capsules.

Let’s hope the maca and the later ovulation brings a BFP for you!!

 

[Tesh23]

So I got my temp rise today!

The funny thing is I feel like I ovulated in the early hours of this morning because I felt it (while I was asleep!). Or I was definitely aware of it because it hurt. I felt it first on the left and then on the right.

We bd at around 7am this morning so hopefully the timing was ok as we only bd yesterday morning at around 12am.

Can we ovulate the day of the temp rise? I noticed I had a little bit of ewcm when I checked this morning but there was also creamy cm present too. Cervix was also high soft and open this morning when I checked.

 

[swedengirl]

This happened to me a couple of cycles back! Woke up around 6 with some weird pain, it felt like a spasm or something in my cervix. I didn’t get a temp rise, but cp and Cm showed I had Ovd. So I assumed I’d ovd but was so close to waking time my temp hadn’t increased, next morning I had my rise. I spent some time googling how quickly after your temp should increase and the answer was it can be really fast or slow depending on the person! My LP showed I did Ov when I suspected.

Not sure it answers your question but totally think it’s possible you Ovd early early this morning and got your temp rise.

And yayyyyy to Oving!!

 

[Tesh23]

Thanks Sweden!

So ff has confirmed Ov and I’m 3dpo. No symptoms other than a skin breakout (cheek and forehead). I notice my post Ov temps are in the lower side this cycle - usually I get a more definite rise.

I wonder if I should start the maca again now that Ov is confirmed? Do you think it may delay AF or extend my lp? My lp is pretty normal at 12 days.

I’m still taking the q10, folic and baby aspirin.

What were your symptoms this bfp cycle?

 

[swedengirl]

I’m guessing it might increase your LP as it’s been shown to help progesterone levels. But I don’t know! I didn’t start taking it again in the TWW but took B50complex to try to extend LP. I guess it couldn’t hurt though!

I was away during the TWW so didn’t really symptom spot at all as was so busy. But I did have really disrupted/vivid dreams (but maybe as I wasn’t in my own bed) then at 7dpo I got extremely hungry. Non stop hunger and also needed to nap that day. Other than that nothing. My sore boobs didn’t start until after my positive. Even my CM didn’t change until after BFP I had a bit of creamy during TWW but nothing more than normal.

Fx this is your month!! Your timing looks good!

 

[Tesh23]

Hey Sweden! Thanks for sharing!

I started the maca again and this is my third day back on it- no symptoms from it other than I seem to be in a better mood! I was a right cow right after I ovulated but my mood really lifted after just a day being back on it. Also no sore boobs yet- for the last two cycles my sore boobs happens by 3-4 dpo. 5dpo and cm has increased a bit today and is still creamy. For the last two days I have also experienced increased bowel movements (sorry for the tmi!) which is different for me as it’s usually the opposite.

I won’t even mind too much if I don’t get my bfp this month if the maca at least helps with the tww symptoms. I’m still taking my folic and q10. I may add the omegas to the mix if I don’t catch the egg this cycle.

Even though my boobs aren’t sore today I have noticed that at times there is like an on and off pressure feeling in them. Don’t know how else to explain!

 

[Tesh23]

So I’m 5dpo and having mild cramping for the last hour (abdomen, lower back and hips). Not as intense as AF cramps, milder but noticeable.

Too early to be cramping but could it be because of the maca?

My boobs also started getting sore this afternoon.

 

[swedengirl]

Great that the maca helped your mood- I felt super good on it too!

I had dull very vague AF type cramping just after I got my positive too. It is possible I had it earlier too but was just too busy to notice. So the cramping sounds promising!

When is AF due? Do you have a testing plan for this cycle?
