Sticking Together Until We All Get BFP's!!!!

[Jrepp]

It sounds like ovulation cramping to me. It doesn't always happen between the 14 and 21 day.....it all depends on how long your cycle is. Ovulation pains can happen before, during or after ovulation and any combination thereof. It is totally normal to have cramping.

 

[Jrepp]

Well, so much for that plan. I swear my life is on repeat. Have a period, have great sex leading up to fertile window, get close to o and hubby can't finish on crucial days, ovulate only hitting 1-2 days, get period and start all over. I seriously want to cry right now!

 

[mrsbreen]

Aww I am sorry. This is our first time trying and we have always pulled out cause hubby can't stand condoms and I can't do birth control, so when my periods were late i was always hoping i was somehow pregnant. Everytime i tested negative, then my period would start i was always disappointed. So now that I am in limbo i guess we will see what happens.

 

[mrsbreen]

i hope you get a BFP!

 

[Jrepp]

This is our 17th cycle trying.

Do you chart or temp at all?

 

[mdscpa]

Wondfo taken at lunch was negative. Took another cbda and wondfo when I got home from work. Cbda is now a solid smiley face, wondfo darker than lunch but still negative. Suspected ovulation either tomorrow afternoon or wednesday

Fx Jess!!!!! O may happen in a day to 3 days.... With DHs super sperm a daily wont hurt his

Lots of baby to you!!!!!!

 

[mrsbreen]

This Maybe tmi but after I had a bm the cramping eased up. so maybe just constipated?
I haven't tracked any temps but maybe I should start? I've kept a log of my periods and when we have done the deed

It really sounds to me like he might be really stressed out by the ttc and that's why crucial days end in failure. Maybe you could fib, say your cycle is odd and that you aren't in your fertile window (when you really are) next month and see if that helps him. Or you could try something new during your fertile window, like giving each other sensual nude massages (if y'all like to experiment) and see if that does the trick. If nothing else helps, you may have to take a month or so off tracking temping and opk's to help him relax. On, the other hand, maybe an outside stress factor is messing things up. Definitely communicate to see what is stressing him, then take what you know about him and yourself and come up with a few experiments. FX that everything works for you and you soon see your BFP!!

This may not be a response you want, but I have small ovarian cysts (not pcos and supposedly not affecting my fetility) and often have the pain you described, esp. on the left hip bone. Gas and constipation can make it feel worse, and strenuous lifting causes sever pain. Hope you don't go through anything like I am as it's not fun. Then again, sometimes it's better to know what's wrong so you can treat it quickly and get back to normal.

Hi mrsbreen, i would suggest you try temping it's amazing and you'll get to know how your cycle works... This will help you pinpoint O, how long your luteal phase is (mostly the same +- 2/3 days), and if your is well-timed.... And it's better if you use it together with OPKs.. This way you won't be in a limbo whether you Oed already or not yet.

Still i wish you get your this cycle so you wont have to try all that....

Lots of baby to you hun

Hello, ladies. I am officially back in the wonderful (NOT!!) land of TWW. FF hasn't confirmed O yet, but I am pretty sure I did late yesterday or am today.

Almost + OPK Thursday night, then dark, clear + OPK Fri and Sat, fading OPK line yesterday. Temp dipped a bit over the weekend then went up this morning, although I had very bad sleep so the 97.1 I got was after only a few solid hours toward morning... not sure if that means my BBT is accurate or should be lower??

DH and I BDed Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and yesterday - bases covered! And I had EWCM til yesterday, so barely needed the Pre-Seed - I just used a bit on the outside for comfort.

I did not get my usual extreme fatigue and hunger on the day of O - in fact, today I barely have any appetite and am perky. Who knows... but I did "feel" very fertile last week/weekend. FX

Hoping for higher temps the rest of this week and beyond... we shall see. Now it's on with the waiting, no wine, and trying not to obsess over every twinge and sensation... My game plan is to get a lot of work done, work on creative projects and start holiday planning!

What is YOUR news, everyone? Hard to keep up!

FX for your BFP June!!! You must put your chart in your signature so that we can stalk it

Wondfo taken at lunch was negative. Took another cbda and wondfo when I got home from work. Cbda is now a solid smiley face, wondfo darker than lunch but still negative. Suspected ovulation either tomorrow afternoon or wednesday

FX Jess, I hope this is your cycle even with dh struggling a bit!

I so 2nd everything Daphne said about using opks and temping.

I listened to her and the other ladies on the thread and took their advice. I started using opks this cycle from cd 10 twice and day and temped my bbt. 1st month doing both and I got my

FX for you and loads of

 

[Wishing1010]

Aww Jess, I'm so sorry that DH had issues. I hope O delays long enough for you to get another BD in!!!!

 

[mdscpa]

Welcome to TWW Mary!!!!!!

Lot's of BABY your way hun

 

[Wishing1010]

Wow, Mary!!!! Your chart looks better than ever!!!!

 

[aidensmommy1]

Thanks ladies! . I'm praying this is a good sign for me! Usually my temp drops 2&3 dpo or just simply doesn't go past 97.6 range until 4-6dpo so its nice to have had a bigger jump from the start with alot of lower pre O temps. FX a bfp is on its way!!!

Fantastic chart Mary!!

Jess, do what you can Hun. You've had some great bd so far.

Had my official low AF drop. Phew. Ready for this cycle! You ladies have any thoughts on angus cactus ?

My cycle this time started/stayed low than my previous cycles and i thought that maybe my body is working properly. Maybe these lower pre-o temps you have mean you have a very good ovulation... FX those meet your eggy......

 

[mdscpa]

Hi Jess, i just looked at your chart and temp is still low with + OPK... Hope DH feels better to have tonight and the next 3-4 days if O wasn't confirmed yet.....
