TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[runnergrl]

thanks! I think I am going to throw away my thermometer.. it stresses me out way too much!

I've also had it where my temp rose as expected at 1 dpo, but then fell at 2dpo (stressing me out!!!) but rose again at 3dpo. It seems like thermal shifts aren't always as straightforward as they should be.

But if temping is stressing you out, definitely stop. I'm always looking for ways to take the stress out of TTC.

I'm 8DPO today and almost at the point in the TWW that I hate. I just want to know so badly if I am or if we'll be trying another month, but I'm too scared to take a HPT until AF. I'm also doing my best not to symptom spot but now that I'm in that implantation window it's hard not to over anlyze every twinge and cramp!

 

[runnergrl]

well i just had the strangest thing ever happen... another positive OPK!! but this time when i ejected the stick to throw it away, it had two solid dark lines on it. what the hell??

yesterdays was negative and I even took one in the middle of the night and it was negative. I want to disreagrd my positives from day 13 and 14 and go with this one b/c last month I got my first on day 16 and O'ed on day 18...

what do you all think??

So are you using digis? If you get a smiley face it is def positive, but you cant interpret the lines like you do on an IC. They don't mean anything from what I read. When I had my two days of positives on the digi, my lines were really faint, and I was worried so that is when I started googling and fond out the info I did.

 

[runnergrl]

No they are digital. For sure. Smileys every time

Hey runnergrl try & stick with it and the temping otherwise you'll never know if you ovulate. It sometimes takes 2 days for my temps to rise. Are you still using opk's? If you haven't ovulated already maybe it will in next few days when its more normal for you?? I thought I was having an ovulatory cycle 3 cycles ago but it turned out I just ovulated 4 days later than normal. Try not to despair cuz it will happen for you!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Ok so it looks good that I ovulated on cd 14 which is early for me! Hopefully slightly shorter cycle this months, Yippee! Bring on the tww

 

[runnergrl]

Well after yesterdday's + and today's confirmation that I did O yesterday(I think), I am more confused than ever. We did get some amazing BD in last night, which makes me feel 100% better. I'm just not sure if it will count as O-3 and O, or O-2 and O+1.. Will be interesting to see what FF says. Looking at my chart-what do you all think? I would say I Oed on day 15, but because of my OPKs-I guess it was 16??

Edit: an I don't think my OPK's are all that reliable because I just got ANOTHER +. What the heck??

Based on temp I would say CD15 is when you O, but your CM and OPK lead me to think it was CD16. FF will say you o od CD15 im sure because of the temp. That is a bit confusing. I have read that OPKS are not always rrliable. If it is positive, you def had an LH surge, but some people have those all the time and you naturally might have higher levels in your system resulting in a positive surge that has nothing to do with ovulation.

Either way, it looks lke you are oficially in the TWW. Welcome

 

[runnergrl]

Thanks!!! I'm hoping it was yesterday and not on 15 because we dtd last night. And I'm unsure the temp I recorded on cd 16 is right. I took it twice that morning and the other time it was 96.9. I went with the higher one bc I wanted it to be right, when I didn't know I woul be getting another positive the next day.. Does that make sense??

I think I'm gonna change my day 16 temp.. or just disregard it...

 

[marieb]

I would definitely say either CD 15 or 16. No idea why you're getting so many +OPKs though.

 

[runnergrl]

Ill just say today I am 1dpo... Im going to try holding out testing till the 12th!

 

[marieb]

Good luck!!!

I'm trying to hold out until next Friday or Saturday but we'll see.

Hi girls

I know I am super late to the party but can I join you all? Just read through this whole thread last night and this morning and I am already cheering you all on!

I've been charting (just OPK and CBFM results) for my past two cycles and this current cycle is the first one where we are actually TTC #2! I started temping yesterday however I am sure it's going to be erratic as it seems since I had DS I've been a super light sleeper and wake multiple times a night even though DS has been sleeping through for a loooong time. It took 6 months (4 cycles) to conceive #1 but my cycles were long and sometimes no ov at all! I eventually got BFP on a cycle that I used soy

It seems that I am oving about 10 days earlier than I was when TTC #1 so I am super excited about that! I have ov'd CD 20 and then CD 19 last two cycles (not confirmed by temp but I am fairly sure since I have an 11-12 day LP and AF came right on time - fx'd!) so hoping that this cycle follows suit and I ov within the next two weeks!

Cannot wait to see some more BFPs showing up in this thread!

Of course you can!! Good luck to you and hopefully I will be posting a BFP in about 12 days!!

Well welcome hun! Sounds like you were like me with long cycles ttc #1, mine were about 40 days! Since I've had ds they are much better around 30-33 with an average 15 day LP, this month it looks like I ovulated on cd 14 which pleases me. Well good luck for up coming ovulation x

 

[Hann12]

Ooosweetpea - welcome! I'm the same, had long cycles with conceiving my first but now mine are bet 29-35 days. FX it's all out month!!

Isaacralph and runnergrl- yay for the 2ww, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Runnergrl - looks like cd16 for you but weird about all the smily faces, and I thought digital was meant to make it easier!!

Marieb - I have a good feeling for you this month!

Started soy yesterday, thought I'd get some side effects but none so far. FX it helps! I'm also charting this month too!

it looks like day 16 because I changed my temp... i had two temps the morning of cd15. 96.9 and 97.2. i changed it back to the lower one bc the higher was taken after only 2 hrs of sleep.. I was wishing it to be higher in hopes that I O'ed the day before based on day 13's +.. I think the lower is more accurate..
