[melissasbump]

Positve OPK today! yay! At least i know where iam at now and actually my phone app is spot on with it

Thank you everyone for the support.

Looks like cycle 7 is out. AF showed her head on the day I had planned to test. Looks like we are on to having DH tested on the 2nd which is right around the time we should be BD. Not expecting much from cycle 8 but we'll see. We have discussed it and think we are gonna take a break this cycle. We'll use OPK (for me only he doesn't want to see) so that we can tell how long my cycle will be. The last 2 months AF has showed up exactly 14 days from the day of the first +. I've also been using FMU. After seeing ya'lls post, I'm going to switch to late afternoon when I get home from work. I think this is how we have missed our window (well obviously since we aren't getting BFP lol).

Sorry if I sound so negative. Good luck to you ladies.

If I take the opk out then it says I haven't ovulated, just taken it out. Think my body geared up to then didn't. Whether that means I still will later or not at all is anyones guess! I've read stories of both happening! I just want this cycle to be over so I can start again!

You are lucky to only get 3 day AF, mine are 6/7 days and quite heavy.

Well that's interesting thats changed now! I'd say as you weren't convinced it was positive you probably haven't ovulated yet then. So hopefully it should be any day now then? You still poas??

happycpl - taking a more chilled month sounds like a good plan. I hope it works!

IsaacRalph - after my extensive research (ha ha) i found that for those people who soy didn't help, about 50% had anovulatory cycles and 50% had late ovulation (I.e. ovulated bet cd 25-35), so I may still ov this cycle. However I'm fine to not and move onto the next afresh. I guess either way would be good. Opk was very negative this morning lol! I've been getting ovulation pains on and off for over a week so I'm sure my body is fighting back but it's just not happening yet! At least the dr can't fob me off by saying its all fine of I have no ovulation on the bloods. Hopefully they'll take me a bit more seriously!

Mel - yay for the positive opk, great news! Mind you, you and Alan must be worn out with all the BD you've been doing! You must get a BFP this month!!

 

[Hann12]

After all that I decided to order a clearblue fertlity monitor! Figured I'd probably get the use out of it lol!

Hi girls

Allis - all sounds good so far, fx'd for you!

Happy - I hope that you are doing better now, or getting some answers!

Mama - still have fx'd that your body sorts itself soon... not too long now til you hopefully get some answers

Isaac - What I wouldn't give for a three day AF! Good for you and good for DH, eh?

Mel - how's the cycle treating you now?

Hann - I think it's a good assumption that you haven't ov'd yet - prob your body geared up and then didn't quite make it. You have every possibility to still ov this cycle though so I would keep DTD just to cover your bases!

I am pretty sure I will end up getting crosshairs for yesterday although I am 99% sure I o'd late the day before on CD 22... CM was way too dried up and I was feeling too sore to even attempt DTD (even with Preseed) last night so hopefully did enough the three days before. I felt pretty strong O pains late afternoon on Monday and yesterday felt NOTHING, so figuring maybe I just o'd too late in the day to have a temp rise yesterday morning... although I had a big dip but who knows?!

Hoping that my temp stays up so that I can just relaxxxx and wait for testing or AF... not sure when to test though! I got BFP with DS at 7 DPO so was totally spoiled that time around - not sure whether to start that early or wait until closer til when AF should arrive. I usually have an 11 -12 day LP so maybe will wait til 12-13 DPO. Decisions decisions!

 

[ooSweetPea]

Wow it must've taken me hours to type that post as there were a million in the meantime!

happy... fx'd for this time around - maybe stepping back a little will be just what you need to catch that egg.

Hann - I LOOOOVE my CBFM. It is usually always spot on... even when OPK is almooost there it does not give me peak until it is 100% + I will say though it takes 1-2 cycles for it to 'learn' your body, so don't be scared if you don't get a peak the first few times you use it... mine didn't give me peaks the first few times however through temping I confirmed ov so no peak doesn't necessarily mean you aren't oving!

Mel - get on it girl!

 

[AllisMommy]

Thanks Sweetpea I am keeping FX'd too...but not as confident as I was before. Drop in temp below coverline today...10dpo. No sign of AF, and she isnt supposed to be around until next week... Im so confused. Stupid temps.

I dont know when I want to test...ugh!

Yippee more bding in order for you and your dh! Now go get that egg. What cd are you today? X

 

[HappyCpl]

TMI warning but I need some input as AF has never been like this...

I'm cramping like crazy and nothing is touching the pain today. AF is very brown and dark. Also very watery and appears to have lots of CM. I'm used to clots and such just not the watery CM mixture and it being so brown snd dark.

I'm just worried something is going on...

 

[MamaMac123]

Hey ladies, lots of posting going on in here! Hope everyone's having a good day! Aliesmom- maybe the drop in temp could be implantation dip since AF isn't due yet. Fx!!!

Hann, hopefully your blood test gets you some answers and the docs help u out. Maybe you'll ov late this cycle. Fx for ya!

Mel, how far are you into the cycle? Are you testing anytime soon?! Think you could be our ext with all your BDing! :hehe:

So my temp shot up this morning. On my sleepy eyed 5 am stupor this morning I felt way excited about it, but then when I actually got up for the day I looked at my chart and realized its barely above where my temps were before the big dip of yesterday. Thinking now the dip could have been a fluke rather than anything exciting. I took the opk yesterday and it was negative so I doubt I ov. :sigh: July 30 can't get here fast enough! I want answers and a plan of action! I've never wanted AF so bad in my whole life!!!! Usually happy to avoid her like the plague! Haha

that's awesome hun, aren't they like mega expensive & do you need to keep buying the sticks to go with it?? although my cycles are now quite regular I got a saliva microscope the other month & its interesting how that's corresponds to the days leading up to & day of ovulation, I wouldn't rely on it solely though. good luck with monitor & i'll keep my Fx'ed that you ovulate soon xx

Hey sweetpea yeah AF is very short & sweet, nearly all done now, although I can spot a little for few more days! Really excited for you, hoping you get your crosshairs, why not post it on here??

Oooo I want one of these! Told DH that if we finally get me ov and AF coming I'm going to get a CBFM. Much easier to keep track of my wacky cycles.

It's the teensy little 'chart' in my signature, beside 'journal'

I love mine... just bought a new box of sticks for next cycle so I am hoping that I end up not needing them It really helped when I was TTC #1 and I started using it asap this time around too.

Hey hun, if your worried get yourself back down to the Dr's! The only things that spring to mind are a) worsening endo b) pelvic infection or c) a very early miscarriage d) possible ectopic, unlikely! e) ovarian cyst which may have ruptured few days ago & your somehow now seeing the old blood??? Just a stab in the dark really x hope you Feel well soon. Is it Tmi, very smelly??

 

[ooSweetPea]

^^ I agree... I would go get yourself checked out just to make sure all is ok - it could be so many things at this point sweets.
