TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

[tbfromlv]

the Creamy lotiony CM is pretty typical during the LP. I've read that it can imply pregnancy, but I also know that I get it every time before AF so it doesn't mean much to me. Honestly, the only time I pay real close attention to CM anymore is during my fertile period. It is so frustrating in the 2ww because pregnancy symptoms are the same as AF symptoms most of the time so we drive our selves mad until we know for sure. Do you have any tests? Or are you just going to wait until tomorrow. FX'd your symptoms end up being pregnancy ones!!

tbfromlv, I know, I'm terrible with symptom spotting! I'm going to wait for a few days and see. No use wasting a hpt yet...

 

[Dream143r]

Thanks so much tbfromlv and SunnyBe, I'm going to do that. AF is due tomorrow so here's hoping I won't need the OPKs!

I wanted to ask something (major TMI!) but I've been having a creamy, milky, lotiony-type CF in the past day or so. I don't remember having this last month (my first off BCP). Still have sore nipples and am SO tired. On Wednesday I ate everything I could get my hands on I was so hungry!

So I guess my question is, do you know if that CF is normal just before AF? I'm finding such conflicting info on the web and have no idea what's normal because I was on BCP for 19 years! Sorry for the TMI.

CT I'm noticing many women have different CF/CM before and after O. For me it's dry then creamy, then egg white/Watery, then dry, then creamy then AF but not everyone has the same schedule it seems. Some don't dry up after O. Some get watery before egg white.

I think the best thing to do it monitor it for a few cycles to figure out what your 'norm' is. Then you will have your own data to base off what may be something different in your cycle.

 

[tbfromlv]

Agree with Dream. Everyone is different! and Symptom spotting is just something we do in the 2ww whether we want to or not hehe.

 

[tbfromlv]

cT- any news?

No signs of O yet for me hopefully soon. I guess it's 5-10 days after your last clomid pill so that would be cd 18 so I guess I have time. fX'd!

 

[Dream143r]

Also waiting to O over here tb

 

[CTgirl]

Hi ladies, AF was due yesterday and still no sign of her. I've only been off BC for two months so it's very possible just my cycle regulating but it was 29 days last month. Will keep you posted.

Good luck for your Os everyone!

 

[AmberR]

CT are you going to test? Hope AF stays away!

 

[CTgirl]

Amber, I tested this morning and it was a BFN. Going to try wait until Wednesday. Really hoping AF stays away!

 

[steph1607]

Checking this thread religiously for another BFP or at least a TWW to join in with!

 

[CTgirl]

Still no AF! 2 days late now...

 

[steph1607]

And how are you feeling CT? Any symptoms or anything?

 

[CTgirl]

Steph, sore boobs, exhausted, hungry all the time. But those are pretty much the same as PMS symptoms, so trying not to get my hopes up.

 

[tbfromlv]

CT I hope this is it for you!!

Steph I would kill to be in the 2ww right now lol still waiting on O to show.. I guess I just hoped it would be more like the average person this cycle since I did the Clomid. Hopefully I do by Friday at least because that would put me at CD 20.. I had a pretty big temp dip this am so I thought maybe today, but opk said no! hmm...

 

[CTgirl]

tbfromlv If you can, BD anyway - just in case!

 

[steph1607]

What days did you take the Clomid again TB? I know when I was on it the doctor said I could O any time from the day after the last pill... so I guess it's just a really annoying waiting game!

 

[SunnyBe]

Hi ladies, another Monday morning!

Steph, still stalking your journal The egg sharing thing really sounds like a wonderful option. I hope you'll soon find out more about it

Ct, go test already! We need some more BFP's in here lol.

Amber, love your ticker. Only 242 days to go!

Tb and Dream, the waiting sucks doesn't it! Because of the temp drops you both had, I hope the wait will soon be over though I expect it'll be another week or so before I O so I'm trying to stay patient. This cycle, I'm trying to refrain from too much BD-ing before getting that positive OPK in case it's a male-factor infertility thing.

 

[Dream143r]

Ohhh I like this way this is sounding CT!

TB - I see a pretty intense temp plummet for you this morning. I had the same. Hopefully just gearing up for the O spikes. I was expecting my CB OPK to Peak but it was still high.

AFM day 5 of flashing smiley. It's only the 2nd month I've used the CB digital OPKs but last cycle I only had 3 high days before my Peak. So I'm kinda confused why I've gotten 5 days high and no peak yet.

I'm starting to suspect there's something weird about this side. Last cycle everything seemed to be textbook 'normal' in terms or temp, CM, Ovulation etc. but the cycle before that I got 3 days of positives on IC Ovulation strips which is weird and annoying.

Your body alternates which side it O's from every cycle correct? That being the case I'm concerned about this side. Sigh

 

[tbfromlv]

We are trying to keep the BD to every other day so we don't miss anything.. although when the weekend came we went every day haha.

Steph I took mine CD 4-8. From my understanding it is anywhere from 5-10 days after but I still see some go further than that. 10 days would put me at Wednesday soo.. maybe!
I saw that Dream and I both had a temp dive today but I'm wondering the same thing- where's my positive OPK! Ha. I didn't want my left to ovulate this month since that was where the cyst was removed... but I don't control that hehe so maybe it's just slower.

sunny, is he going to get an SA done soon?

 

[CTgirl]

TB haha I know what you mean with the BD on the weekend.

Took an early response test just now and it was a BFN. I'm assuming this is just my body getting used to being off the pill. Here's hoping AF comes soon now so we can try again!
