Hi ladies...
I am new to this forum and to TTC. I am 30, using donor sperm shipped with TYB to conceive (my partner is a woman...so no swimmers here . We BD a lot, but unfortunately that won't help us!
On CD 18 I got a smiley face from my clearblue advanced monitor followed by two days of positive cheapie OPKs and a final day of neg OPK. Some darker than others, but all positive. We inseminated twice (CD19-20) after the smiley face.
Of course I have developed a serious problem with peeing on things. I mean, really, bathroom breaks are so not satisfying unless I am watching a stick turn pink. So I did lots of HPT tests and nothing. The last day I did one, in the early afternoon on CD31 with the same urine I used to get the smiley on the ClearBlue OPK. HPT was neg.
For two days since then I have had SUPER dark +OPK (photo below). We almost had our donor send us the goods, but decided against it because I am stressing myself out a bit too much. And we didn't want to waste the $ for shipping in case I got my period today. Which I didn't!
My cycle is very erratic, but I would expect my AF anytime now...if I ovulated earlier on CD18. Because I am new to this, I did not take temping seriously until 5 days post-O (CD23).
SO yesterday I had a dip (97.5) and today a spike (97.9 or 98.1 depending on which temp you believe--but I thought BBT is supposed to be your lowest temp, so I went with that one for my chart).
Do you women think I just didn't O the first time and now I am? I have cramping on both sides (not at the same time) of my uterus, and kinds of inside my vag (sorry TMI!) but I am at the point where I think I am imagining things! I know that O pain is usually just one side...ugh. I have read that some women get LH spikes before AF, but I have had 3 days of darker lines than I have ever seen in a couple months of using them fairly regularly (although it is only fair to say I have been really on it for the last cycle).
HELP! I have also included my fertility friend chart. Obsess with me a little?!
I am excited to join this community. I have been stalking for a few weeks and have to say this is the breath of air I need right now. My partner is super awesome, but not nearly as obsessed with my CM as I am
