Golden - mine has been yellowish and kind of the consistency of Ewcm since I got my positive! Hoping its a good sign for you!

 

[Powell130]

What do you ladies think about yellowish, creamy, glossy, stretchy cm heheh sorry i had to describe it accurately

Strechy before af is unusual for me but why is it yellowish?

I had a few patches of weird CM before BFP. Some was yellowish añd stretchy and directly after O I had suuuuuuuuper thick kinda flaky looking. Flaky is the best way I can think of to describe it lol I posted in here about it and someone else had experienced it and compared it to dry mashed potato flakes which was spot on to the way it looked!

 

[GoldenRatio]

Flaky hmm is it like cottage cheese since ovulation mine was creamy and almost like cottage cheese like junky but today it turns to stretchy. so yellowish cm is a good sign! I did an other test and got imaginary line again but DH can't see anything. If af doesn't show up, I will try with frer.

Today my armpits are smelly even tho I used my regular deodorant this morning and I have cramps, but higher than af cramps. Headache right now too. Omg look at me full on symptom spotting and tricking myself(

Aww I love your belly Powell! Thanks for the update &#128525;

Thanx!!
PS- your chart is beautiful

i know right! if her chart doesnt result in bfp, im gonna be angry angry at TTC even tho TTC doesnt give too s**tz about us hahahaha

Maybe u should test kitty

Thanks Golden and Powell! If I change my settings to advanced, FF has me at 6dpo. I know I got my peak on cd15 but I got it first thing in the morning and I had a temp rise that day. I was reading that up to 50% of women actually O before their positive opk. Basically the time it takes to get through your system and concentrate in your urine to get strong enough for a peak you could have already ovulated. This is especially true for women in their 30s and 40s.

Typically I use ic and the day I get my first positive FF gives me CH. This cycle I only used cbd. And cbd advanced. I'm thinking it's quite possible my surge started late cd14 and I actually o shortly after and got my peak next morning. But I could be completely wrong. Either way I'm happy with my chart but I know some of the prettiest charts go ugly real quick. Sorry for the novel

Golden....I think yellowish cm is a good sign! Any change in cm I would pay attention too. Do you normally have sore boobs in 2ww?? Or cramps early?

I still think you're in the running

kinda, i guess. It had a flakey appearance but felt dry and super thick. And there was a TON of it. Like a lotttt. Especially for 2DP0 when it happened. I think it had to of been from the hormonal change when sperm met egg because i had nevvvvver seen any like that, ever!
Then days later was when i had the yellowish stretchy CM.

I would take smelly armpits as a possible sign too. Since getting pregnant this time I have been super sweaty and stinky. I feel gross even straight out of the shower! Im so over it lol

 

[GoldenRatio]

Ahh I had such a bad night, I was too irritated to sleep. I was super hot, sweating along with annoying cramps then I managed to fall a sleep but then I woke up so sudden thinking I peed on the bed! I had so much cm that it went thru my pjs on to the sheet :// had to change the sheets and I kept thinking af came because cm was coming out like crazy.

So weird... I have my appointment in an hour. Gonna get my LH:FSH ratio and progesterone results ( did at cd22). Fx I was diagnosed wrong and I don't have pcos! Wishful thinking to my way plz.

Kitty, I do get cramps this early before af and my boobs usually hurt randomly and size changes by hour hahahha so not a reliable source for me

 

[fairyy]

Golden: That much cm sounds unusual to me that you had to change sheets. What's going on hun !! You better be pregnant !!

Xokittycatxo: I want you to test. Plz test. Your chart looks amazing.

Powell: Lovely bump

To me this sounds so so positive!! I really do think this is it for you this month!

Fx!!! Are you due tomorrow for AF? Hoping that all that cm is a symptom and not AF sign. Let us know how test go.

If I'm not knocked up I'm definitly sick
My nose has been runny/congested for a week and today my throat is sore and I just feel generally yucky. My cramps, in an ironic twist, have finally stopped just when AF is due. Like I said...this cycle is exhausting. My boobs have been aching so bad it was actually uncomfortable laying down for bed last night. I'm either 7, 8 or 9 dpo today and no sign of AF other than the constant exhaustion which I usually don't get until she's here.

Your chart does look very good I really really hope this is for you! Not long to testing now!

You've inspired me to chart as well. I have the FF app and my BBT arrived today! I am CD11, so going to start temping from next cycle. However, I tested the BBT this evening and took 3 readings in a row one after the other. The readings varied massively - is that normal? It makes me wonder how reliable temping is....

I have started using OPKs now I'm on day 11. This evenings was stark white, absolutely no hint of ovulation whatsoever.

 

[GoldenRatio]

Just left doctors office, he confirmed that my fsh and lh ratio is too high, 1:5 so I do have pcos. He gave me metformin for three months and check back after three months. If I don't get pregnant in three months then he will give me clomid.

Thanks Pompey! I tested yesterday because I had a frer left from my opk pack def too early but I will test again tomorrow if no AF.

You can actually start temping now if you want! You don't need to start at the beginning of the cycle. You will get a better "whole picture" with the entire cycle but right now you can take your pre O temps and then you should notice the temp shift to confirm ovulation. I know a lot of women that only temp a few days before and a a few days after just to confirm O.
As far as the temp ranges... Not sure as I've never tried that during the day but if you are getting crazy differences than maybe something is up with your bbt. But if they aren't extreme I think it's normal. The thing about temping is to be as consistant as possible. Usually even if I wake up at a different time, my temps are still either under or over the cover line. Occasionally I get a crazy one if I tossed and turned, the weather was super cold, or abnormally warm, etc. Regardless, I've always been able to confirm OvuLtion with temps. Just remember....big picture

This is a good time to start with opks too! What brand did you get? Everyone. Has their own preference. I personally hate answer brand and love my Walgreen cheapies (not as cheap as ic) and I like the cbd.

It will take you a couple cycles to see your perpsonal pattern...every one is different. Feel free to take pics and post if you aren't sure! There is an opk section just for that on this site &#128516;

Ahh boo!!! On the bright side, at least you know. I hate not knowing. And I heard metamorfin works great for many with pcos!

Look up the benefits of raw honey, cinnamon & unfiltered Apple cider vinegar! Some people have had success using cinnamon instead of metformin and some have even restored ovulation with ACV!!

Yes you can definitely start temping now! My last temping cycle I started CD10 and ovulated CD18 so was still able to see my temp shift!
Just make sure to be consistent. Don't talk or get up before temping, same time every morning after a few hours of sleep, etc.

 

[Xokittycatxo]

Temps did a nose dive today! So just waiting for AF

 

[GoldenRatio]

Got af right on time this morning, oh well im feeling super sick now... af cramps and side effects of metformin

Im gonna stop obsessing over TTC and just relax couple months. My doctor thinks metformin will reglate FSH:LH ratio which is causing my infertility so lets hope he is right and metformin works for me.
This cycle im just gonna take metformin, folic acid and vitamin D. I may add inositol back next cycle if i dont get pregnant. Im not gonna buy opks anymore so i will stick to using my saliva microscope starting CD10 to CD17.


Right now i just feel super down and tired of TTC

 

[Powell130]

I'm telling you golden..look up their benefits of those few things I listed for those with PCOS. You very well could get on without taking metformin

I cant use cinnamon and Apple Cider Vinegar because i hav ulcer and a hole on my stomach lining (something like that). I already use raw honey everymorning but rest is a no no for me

 

[fairyy]

Sorry about AF Golden. I was really very hopeful for you this cycle.

But I am sure you are going to see those two pink lines on HPT very soon.
