TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[Hann12]

Ok Ladies.....Hann was right AF was due today.....but still no sign of .....no symptoms of her or anything. Even lighter cramping than before. tested....still BFN. So should i just wait until I'm officially late and test tomorrow? S.O.S! LOL

If you tested already today I would leave it until tomorrow morning and retest then - no point wasting another test today if it didn't show on FMU. Cramping could go either way to be honest. You'll know for def in the next 24-48 hours. Keep an eye on your temps as that will tell you - if AF is coming that day your temp should drop back.

Hey everyone!

Jessica - good to see you're still stalking us sending crossed fingers, prayers as your way for your little bean

Mello - excited for you to test tomorrow! But echo what everyone else has mentioned...that temp seems much too high

Banana - glad your AF is about done. We've got Preseed too and honestly I love it even for not ttc! It's just great stuff

Afm - I feel crazy! Lol So last night after work I checked my cm and cervix...high, soft, open and quite a bit of Ewcm! But of course I had no opks! So told DH we best get to it just in case :hehe: Today cm is more watery/creamy (could be partially from bd last night) and I broke down and got a couple opks from dollar store...totally negative! Not even a faint line. Temp this am was same as yesterday. Basically my highest pre ov temp but look! Ff has given back my crosshairs! Wtf??? It's still trying to tell me I ovulated the same day it thought before. So bizarre! If anything I may have ov yesterday and just haven't done the full on spike up in temps yet? I dont know. My body frustrates me so much! I never got crosshairs in my last cycle and temps were all over the place. Why am I getting them now??

I went to pick up more Vitex this morning and started browsing other items. I found this one called estrosense plus (I think - don't have bottle with me) which has Vitex in it and other stuff and is geared specifically towards helping regulate cycles and hormones etc and helping fertility. I decided to buy that one instead and give it a go. I haven't taken it yet as I want to do a bit more googling on it before I do but I'm excited about it hopefully it helps.

I'm with you this month...my body is nothing but a complete annoyance. Watery and ewcm for 9 days straight now! WTF is right! CD 20 and still haven't ovulated? Maybe this one is just going to be an anovulatory cycle...who knows? I sure don't, but I wish if that is the case, it would just just get done and overwith already! So much for all that bding doing any good this month.

Elt - I'm sorry and I'm with ya! Have your cycles been off like this before or are you usually regular?

 

[MelloYello]

Mello- I'd just keep testing if no AF...do you have any of the cheapie Internet tests or dollar store tests? I'd use those until you see a bfp then confirm it with a fancier test

As was mentioned, someone in here didn't get her bfp till 20 days past ov! Everyone's different so if no AF just keep testing I say!

Ordered some that should be here tomorrow. Hoping I'll know something soon. If not.....back to the Dr. on Friday.

I know!!! I bought a new BBT thermometer today. LOL.....because something was totally screwy with that one. LOL

Elt - I'm sorry and I'm with ya! Have your cycles been off like this before or are you usually regular?

I am usually very regular 25-26 day cycle with never having ovulated after cd17. I did read though that it is not unusual to have an anovulatory cycle every now and then, but it just sucks because we really did great with the this month. My DH may be a super bd'er, lol, but even he needs a break sometimes! He has had a day here and there but we have been bding almost eveyday because I feel like as soon as we go on a break, I will ovulate! Oh well, he had break yesterday, so we will be back to it tonight! Just hoping I ovulate late instead of not at all...

FX for us both hun!

So my Internet cheapies showed up in the mail today (of course because I broke down and spent another $10 on dollar store OPKs today! Lol) so that's happy....now I can test a whole bunch! Still no idea what FF is thinking giving me back those crosshairs...I thought you need 3 high temps in a row for that??? So weird. Will prob be gone tomorrow! I'm hoping though my temp goes up tomorrow to indicate I ovulated yesterday. Prob just wishful thinking though. All the physical signs were there but that happened last cycle too and then nothing. No temp shift

I'm excited about this Estrosmart Plus though its geared more towards menstral regulation and fertility than Vitex alone. FX it does good things for me.

Remember the lady that delivers the red box which is supposed to be your period in those tampon commercials? Well she makes deliveries at 3 am too. . Think I'm gonna take a break from trying for a while. This is emotionally exhausting.

 

[banana07]

Hey Mello - so sorry the witch got you, know exactly how you feel I was 2 days late and she got me at the weekend. It really is emotionally exausting no matter how hard you tell yourself your going to relax its impossible.

Sorry Jessica I shouldn't have said anything I haven't a clue what I'm on about but I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you that everything is ok x

Elt & mamamac - Hope ye both ov soon - Hope yer bd anyway just incase

No updates from me really as I said AF has pretty much left so 2 weeks till Ov (usually CD19 - CD6 now). IC OPk, Preseed & tests arrived in the post this morning almost wish I hadn't got them so early - its just teasing now looking at them!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Wow! Fast delivery Banana! Didn't u just order them yesterday or day before? Awesome! It'll be time to use them before u know it!

 

[Hann12]

Lol banana!! You are funny!

Sorry AF got you mello - hopefully next month!

Mama - why did you discount your day 21 temp? I can see why FF may give you crosshairs now, but do you think you have ov? Any luck on opk today?

Thanks. Its so brown tho....not red but I'm sure its probably AF bc 14-15 DPO is too late for IB. Even tho it came 2 days late. I wish it would've came when it was suppose to the I wouldn't be so bummed. And my BBT was 99.03 this morning. I think I'm just one of those people who has a naturally high BBT.

Hello ladies
I have to get ready for work here soon, so I have to be quick. I will be able to post a little better later. Still no o for me, just kinda waiting for AF. I am just kinda wondering now, if I don't ov, how long can she take? I haven't had an anov cycle since charting so I have no idea what happens?

 

[MamaMac123]

Mama - why did you discount your day 21 temp? I can see why FF may give you crosshairs now, but do you think you have ov? Any luck on opk today?

I discarded it because it was the night we were camping and I slept horribly and was freezing. I doubt it's accurate. FF kept the crosshairs there even before I discarded it though. I really don't think I ovulated. I imagine I'll get a lower temp in next couple days that will take the crosshairs away. Temp just isn't high enough to indicate ov. Think ff is just wrong.

Hmm depends on each person I think. I have a friend with pcos who never ovulated but always had a normal cycle. For me, not ovulating last month meant no AF until I started metformin. No idea what typically happens for someone without pcos who has an anovulatory cycle. Maybe try a chart search on ff and search anovulatory cycles to see what happens to others.

 

[Hann12]

Elt - I think most people with anovulatory cycles have a slightly longer one than normal.

 

[banana07]

Hey yeah only ordered them yesterday - ordered from an irish company so most things are next day delivery - thankfully Ireland is not that big so can't possibly take them too long!!!

I didn't even think of that...good idea!

 

[MamaMac123]

So I tried out my ic opks tonight and got a pretty good line. Not dark enough for positive but darker than I've ever gotten on dollar store opks. As its my first time using the ic I'm not sure if that is the reason. But I'm hoping maybe it's indicating that ov is coming. Guess we'll see....
