TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[Hann12]

Okay so now I am confused because for the past 2 days my opk has been a faint line (doing the test once a day at 5pm) and then I just did it now at 11am and theres nothing there. Have a missed the surge? I haven't had a load of EWCM - apart from the next day after I BD but I was assuming that it was my DH's stuff rather than EWCM but maybe it wasn't - but that was on Friday. So now I'm totally confused. Maybe I just keep doing the opks for the next week just to be sure because I'm on CD20 and the past 2 cycles have been 35 day cycles but I'm sure I got EWCM on CD 24 last month, but then that gives me the very short LP problem again. Unless I now get a very long cycle because I end up ov'ing on CD24/25 and then my LP corrects and then my AF won't show up until day 39....
This TTC malarky is confusing!!

Do you chart my lovely? Just keep testing, sometimes I test twice a day and pick uo the start of surge but usually it sticks around for about 48hrs, I doubt you've missed it! Just keep on BDing

Hy Hanna you could have missed your surge. Have you been temping? If your temp has spiked then you probably have O'd. But I think I would keep check your opk

Afm-i have had another temp spike it has been either 98.34 or 98.17 since ov consistantly. Now its 98.48 hope this mean something I just got even more excited

 

[HollySSmith]

Sounds promising mini! Mine kept rising just like that! When do you plan on testing?

I hope you other ladies get final answers soon (one way or the other). Fingers crossed for some more !

 

[mimismom]

Yeah about that...lol I tested this morning. Bfn but im very hopeful since my temp is doing its thang<-- please forgive me Im just too tickled lollol

 

[Hann12]

Mimismom that does sound promising!

I haven't been doing my temperature because I can't find my thermometer since moving! Will look for it now!
So when I ov I get a temperature spike then it goes back down? How much does it go up by?

 

[mimismom]

I think it said by .4 but should stay elevated til its time for af

Hey everyone, I'm feeling sort of up and down today...the up is its my birthday! The big 30 today! Kind of weird haha but happy with where my life is at the moment

The down is, the AF that seemed to be starting up has vanished! Wth????? I had slighht spotting Friday, nothing Saturday, more spotting Sunday and the nothing again yesterday and so far nothing today I was so sure AF was starting up....where'd the go??? So now I'm feeling frustrated again, I felt so relieved thinking it had finally started up again and now I'm just confused. I have very small hopes that it could have been implantation bleeding but I still had no indication of ovulation, though the doc to,d me coming off bc it might not be possible to tell by bbt because all the hormones are screwy. But I had all the nipple tenderness and irritability etc I usually get before AF last week....anyone get these symptoms during/arou d ovulation? What is implantation bleeding like?

Also, on my bbt, I've been almost the exact same temp for like 4 or 5 days now where I usually fluctuate....is that weird?

Typically the day before ovulation, you will have a drop in your temperature. Then on the day that you ovulate it will spike back up. If it stay higher than .4 (some places say anywhere from .2-.5) above your coverline temps for at least three days, then you most likely O'd. If you haven't been temping it may be hard to tell since you wont have a coverline to compare too.

Heres a link to explain temps

Here's what it says about.temp rise
It has a barely discernible second rise the day after implantation occurred, from there temps continue to stay between 98.1 and 98.5 degrees. Plus temps stay high for more than 18 days a sure sign of pregnancy.

Ah okay thanks, so maybe I'll try it next cycle then and do it from beginning of the cycle.

I think AF will be here by the end of the week! So hormonal and getting crampy sort of pains now. Still too!
I very much dislike TTC today!

I completely understand. Sometimes TTC is just downright awful.
I know I always feel the worst in the days leading up to AF, so hopefully you'll feel better soon

 

[HappyCpl]

I have been so weepy today. Crying over everything. I'm sure AF will show within the next 2 days. That's how she rolls with me. I have crying fits for a whole day just a few days prior to her arrival. Grr....

 

[Hann12]

Happy Birthday MamaMac123! Hope you have some nice plans for your 30th!

 

[HollySSmith]

Happy birthday mamamac!!! Hope it's a dirty 30

 

[marieb]

Happy Birthday mamamac. Enjoy your day!

 

[marieb]

I am having a ton of watery cm today and my cervgix is still high and open.
If I don't get a +OPK or at least a darker one than yesterday I'm going to be so frustrated.

I want to take one right now but it's only 8am so probably not the best time haha

 

[mimismom]

Happy birthday mamamac wishing you all thehappiness your heart can.hold

 

[MamaMac123]
