That OTHER 2 Week Wait!

[GreyGirl]

I'm CD27, had another temp dip today, hoping it's O day and that we can get some in, last lot was on Sunday!
Glad the walking is helping you, nice to be out and about in the fresh air isn't it?

Hi Grey
Just wanted to check in as I was SO relieved to find someone else who O's really late in their cycle. I'm CD20 today and still no signs, had some EWCM CD17 but only once and as yet, no more. Temps really low still too. Gutted because I convinced DH to BD every day starting CD16 as I thought I'd be O'ing today - and now he's completely worn out, but I haven't even had it yet! Agh! Do you always O late in your cycle? Last month I O'd CD15, the month before it was CD24...I'm a bit erratic since coming off bcp last year. I am disappointed now as DH really needs a break, so going to give him time out now I guess until I see some more EWCM!

One question - I may sound ignorant, ha, apols - does anyone know if BD-ing every day can affect the amount of EWCM you produce? I only ask because I used to see it a lot and since BD-ing every day this week, have hardly seen any - unusual! x

I normally ovulate anywhere in the 20's...sucks! Never before and rarely after. Sorry yours have been so up and down, hope they settle soon!
I have read several times that BDing every day can mean you have less EWCM, so they recommend every other day and then every day around the actual O date...hope that helps

Morticia--doing the deed every day can indeed affect your cm. That is why a lot of ladies try things like cough syrup, grapefruit juice and marketed products to assist with cm production. (I used grapefruit juice and had great results!).

I'm also a late O'er. I was Oing on CD23 my last 3 cycles before my BFP. Before my m/c in September, I was Oing anywhere in the 20s, it was frustrating!

Grey--Hope you get that egg hun!!!

Love--grats on the weight loss, that is wonderful, and I am so glad that your walks are giving you good PMA!! Exercise always seems to refresh, it is wonderful!! I hope your appt with they gyn goes well next week! I know that late Ovulation can affect TTC, but there are meds to help if need be, I know that DH and I were going to meet with a specialist if we did not get our BFP as I O about a week behind what is considered the "norm."

I'm good thanks, feel a bit crampy today so assuming AF is on her way. Still not tempted to test which is a first for me.
Been out for tea with my SIL and her gorgeous 9 week old baby, god I love him

awww, going out and spending time with your niece/nephew must've been a nice relaxing time for you...

sorry you're feeling a bit crampy.... Im feeling that way too and it's only cd7 lol. stay positive and remember, you are not out until the dumb shows up.... hope you feel better... btw: good for you for your will power not to test.... I used to be able to just wait for AF to show up but recently, I have not had that will power... but this cycle I am positive that I can hold out until estimated AF day.... well let's hope so! lol

Love: Your avatar pic is how I feel! Glad you're walking. I cannot wait to get some non arm-related exercise! Hang in there. We're cycling at the exact same place (I think). As for the soy, I think I would wait and ask your doc. I've heard some scary things about it. Not to be a gloomy glenda, but I am becoming a bit more skeptical about just taking all kinds of things trying to influence my cycle. But that's just me.

Hi all
Nice to see you Sam

I think I may have ovulated yesterday. My temp had a nice rise this morning...if I did and we had last night, would that be on time to catch the egg? Does the cervix close immediately after the egg is released or do you have a little time? We BD'd at the weekend both days, then last night, so I'm worried now we may have missed it (my story every month)...Is there hope if it was yesterday??? I hope so!!!!

 

[Amberyll23]

Grey-- They recommend the day before and the day of O, plus the day after as the best days, so if you can swing in another BD session today, and you really did O yesterday, you should have a good shot hun. I hope you caught that egg this month!!

 

[LiSa2010]

ladies!

sam: nice to see you, been thinking about you. hope you feel better.

grey: I agree with Amber, get another in there today.... FXd this is your month!

afm: cd8 and felt some cramps last night... had my scheduled planned where I wanted to start BD on cd6 but that was a no go bcuz hubby was too tired so were supposed to DTD last night but this time I was too tired SOOOO tonight is our first night DTD this cycle.... Im going to test on opk right now.... just to see what it says, doesn't hurt, right?!

BIG to everyone!

Sam, I have decided to NOT take the soy..i do only have one ovary now and i don't want to do anything to jeopardize that.. andas for my avatar, i changed it because i have had this blah mental attitude for awhile...lol..I love how you called it "gloomy glenda" i usually call it "debbie downer" (my first name is debbie, if you all don't know..lol). you made me chuckle.
I have been quite bummed as I am sure you probably have been too, with all these health issues throwing quinks in our ttc plans. I am still working on my mental health attitude..lol..Hey, at least I am not ing now. I was awful a few days ago.
LISA..good luck with the sessions.. you must o really early every month. I don't even think about bding for conception purposes until around cd15 (which is still early) but i play it safe.
Grey..you still have a chance,,I agree with amber..good luck hun
Morticia..that was not an ingnorant question..after ttc all this time, i did NOT know that all these bd sessions can make cm mia...it's good to know
New...hoping you get a

Yes. I know what you mean about the crying. Tues and Weds I couldn't stop crying. So far so good today, though I woke up to some spotting, so I think this month is out. Glad I made you chuckle! We have to stick together, we post-surgical girls.

 

[loveanurse1]

I agree completely..and my ob/gyn said that anesthesia can wreak havoc on our cycles as well..isn't that awful?
I think the exercise is the only thing that is truely helping my mental attitude right now. These highs and lows are awful. We can stick it out together.

 

[GreyGirl]

Thanks guys!
I thought after ovulation it is too late and the cervix is closed for business? We're going to hopefully DTD tonight anyways, just in case, but does it really help our chances much? I wish we'd got in Tuesday as well, but hubbie hit his head on the car and really didn't feel great. Doh!
I'm hoping IF I did ovulate yesterday then we have still got a chance!
Thanks all, quickly off to cook dinner, will hopefully reply to all later and check in

 

[samiam]

I'm back in here, girls. AF reared her ugly head yesterday. Ah well. At least it was on time this month even if the O was super super late. I have heard that pain pills can delay O, so I am hoping that was the case. On to April. . .

 

[loveanurse1]

sam...

 

[GreyGirl]

sam, sorry she came back. onto april and a bfp for you!

afm: we didn't manage to get in any we were about to, but hubbie said just too tired. it appears i did o on wednesday, so i guess i'll have to hope that 1 time did it i'm so annoyed, every month we seem to do it every other day for a while, then it stops because my o day playes hide and seek. i think timing sex is so hard! if only mu opk's were clear and gave me a good heads up, not a single proper positive this month despite often doing 2 a day
ggrrrr! well, i guess i'm off to the 2ww, i don't hold out much hope of a bfp after only doing it on o day as the closest

 

[NewToAllThis]

Welcome back Sam, hope you are recovering well.

Hi to everyone else - not enough time to mention everyone individually, sorry.

I'll be back here tomorrow - just started spotting....

Oh well...

 

[Amberyll23]

Sam and New--so sorry the hag showed for you guys! Fx'd for better results for you this month!!

Grey--sorry to hear about the BDing. Keeping my fx'd for you also that the 1 time did the deed!! We have had ladies here who did get their BFPs with very little BDing, so I'm hopeful for you!! What type of OPKs do you use? I found that the only reliable way I could verify my O turned out to be the Smileys (although they are kind of expensive). I just waited until my cheapies started to get darker and then started using the smileys so I didn't waste them.
