[Bonnie1990]

ooh sounding good dysan!
catch that eggy!

temp is not dangerous but it can affect the
hopefully we have kept it down enough

he is stubborn about the doctor
and of course his insurance ended yesterday-
if he is bad tomorrow i will make him go to the walk in clinic
it started tuesday but no fever until yesterday
just really achy and tired.

 

[Bonnie1990]

[Fluffy83]

yuppers!!!
didn't do much of any last month so i have to get back in practice

 

[Dysan]

I am back!

Ok so I am not sure wha't going on with my O. I got a dark but not positive yesterday. Positive this AM. just tested again and dark but not positive. I am thinking that perhaps the peak of my surge was yesterday nigth at some poit... i will test again later just in case. We BD yesterday and the day before so I have no worries.
My temp was lower Saturday and a little higher but lower than usual this AM...we'll see what tomorrow brings. Not sure if temp drop means much...i read it is suppose to increase after O do I can detect O, correct? That has not happened yet.

How are you gals doing?

 

[Dysan]

Hi Ladies,

I still have a + OPK this morning but I think I probably O'ed somewhere middle of the night because CM is dry today and temp increased a bit this AM but it is still low, i think. My first + OPK was yesterday early morning. Not sure if that's an accurate assessment but Oing either yesterday or today is so discouraging because based on past cycles, then my LP is quite short (I was hoping for a O of saturday or early Sunday at latest)...let's see where this cycle takes me, perhaps B6 is increasing cycle lenght. Not sure how it works.
We did BD a lot past few days. Mostly, just because we felt like it and it was prime time...it was a relaxing weekend despite having my LP length in the back of my head. Such a bummer...I think that if my predictions are right I may need to go and visit my OBGYN sooner rather than later. Hubby is expected be out of town at prime time next cycle (for work) and the following two i will be out of town visiting family so if this is not it, we may not be able to TTC until August. Dates dont look that great for us next few months. Really hoping for good news this time...

For all you experts, here is my chart. Let me know opinions when you think you can see something.

It could have been yesterday or maybe sometime today. But you look all set in the bd department so fx'd! Will watch the next few days and see where your chart leads.

AFM cd10 -forgot to OPK this am. Will this afternoon. Boobs are sore and cm is starting to change. Still not sure what will happen this week-all depends on how DB is feeling. I'm looking to ov on thursday. Friday the latest. Maybe he will be up to bd by Wednesday I hope. Again. Still worried about the Ferber he had though. Oh well. I just want him to feel better-he has been so miserable.

If this cycle doesn't happen then we have another shot the end of may. That would be for the June BFP that Gail predicted. Hmmm maybe she wasn't so far off???

 

[Bonnie1990]

Tmi alert

Holy ewcm!
I don't think I've seen this much stuff since I found out what it was!
OPK has to catch up soon.
I hate to even ask DB if he feels like a quicky tonight...
I guess I will wait and see what afternoon OPK does before I decide

 

[Fluffy83]

Bonnie I'm still laughing! You have a beautiful way with words lol!!

 

[Bonnie1990]

Well OPK is still way negative. Barely a line. Hmmmmmm

 

[Dysan]

Bonnie still go and convince DB for some BD if you have tons of EWCM!!!! excited that you are approaching your O day.

I finally got a - OPK. This was the third day of positve. I am fairly certain that O day was yesterday though! Will BD today just in case but then I am on a well deserved break LOL.

Honestly, I really want it to happen this month for us. After the dissapointment of last month and my short LP, i need some positive news. Still, hoping that the 10 day LP is enough for me.

Only time can tell so my days of waiting officially started -1 DPO for me today yet again. YAY!!!!

 

[Dysan]

Fluffy did you start testing?

 

[Fluffy83]

Hiya dysan & bonnie

Yeah I've started testing y'day but neg, from my calculations ov should be on or before Monday or tuesday! My dh needs convincing too dysan! He's found it tough these past few nights with my youngest having restless nights!!!! He seriously sounds like he's having second thoughts about the whole ttc but I'm trying my hardest to talk him round! My god that's the last thing I need!! But I'm sure once I flutter my eyelids he'll be under my charms haha!!

 

[Bonnie1990]

Hehe bat those lashes girl!

Well I have never had ov pains like this. Usually it's been short lived. An hour or two tops. Not pain just uncomfortable. And belly is even tender on the one side. 24 hrs now. OPK about 7 pm last night was finally almost there and this am I'm calling it although it may have been a touch lighter. DB was a trooper and we bd last night. Used a softcup. Hoping he will try again tonight. I am sure I will ov today with the way I am feeling.

Appointment was really good yesterday. He said my consult timing was good. (without my saying anything) Not quite there yet but if I hit 6 months or whenever I'm ready all I need to do is call and they will arrange hsg. I have rx and cup for an sa for DB when we are ready and also will have a progesterone lab on cd 20. He said too often women come in at 46 and have no clue. He was happy that I was on the ball. Found out they also do iui right there in office if we needed to go that route in the future. For now he is hopeful that it will happen. Nothing is jumping out other than I am 39 years young. (his words too!)

Must dry hair now and head to work. Check in later!

 

[Dysan]

yay Bonnie! great news all around for you yesterday. i was wondering how that went.
saw the pos on your chart as i've been peaking at it and past ones to see what to expect.

my temp shot up this am so FF changed my O day. it is now on CD 19 - boo! but i mentioned that i did not agree with them marking O on CD 18 so now it changed to exactly what i thought O day was.
the negative is that my concerns about short LP are confirmed. the positives are that based on this, if not a sticky pregnancy this month i will make an appointment with OB.

i dont think b6 is working for me because all i read is that it makes O happen sooner rather than extend cycle length. i take 100 mg daily this cycle and O was not moved back.(past cycle i took 50 mg daily)

on the 19th i am goign to my annual so i will grt my thyroid thoroughly checked then.

as for symptoms, i have tender boobs since O day...that's the only one that i can attribute to a change in hormones that i dont necessarily get often. but so early still... my cm was creamy this am buti did encounter this on past cycles...so nothing new there.

 

[Bonnie1990]

Hey dysan
I peeked at your chart and yes I agree with 19th. Lp length is not going to change because you ov later so I wouldn't be concerned too much. Just have to see where you end up this time.

Yes yesterday was good. DB even joked after to put the legs up which was a first I went for a pillow instead hoping he saves some energy today for another go tonight for good measure. I am pretty sure that I ov on my drive in this am. I felt a quick sharper pain and this morning the aches and tenderness are subsiding. Hope to see a temp jump in the morning!

I haven't done much research on lp length but if you have an annual coming I would definitely question it. 10 is the minimum I have read. Maybe a progesterone cream would help?

 

[Bonnie1990]

Oh yeah forgot to say..
My doc said if you OPK to bd day of first pos and the next day.

 

[Fluffy83]

Hi girls
Haven't been on for a while, nothing much to report currently cd14 & should ov in the next couple of days......all is quiet with me

 

[Dysan]

Hi there! I am 6 dpo today. Waiting anxiously to test...given than my LP is currently 10 days, i will wait to test till 8 dpo on...so that would be Tuesday!!!!!! AF due Friday...have tender breasts, cramps and lower back pain this past few days. Promising for sure...but certainly could be PMS...
Hoping for the best!
