is it possible you didnt ovulate ??

Welcome to the thread! Excited to have you here!

And that's what I had so ive been having symptoms since then... But all my tests are negative.

Cutler, I have no idea. I haven't been temping or anything but I've had plenty of cramping going on. So I have no idea. Lol just been alotta clear discharge happening

Frodi, if i was you i would invest (they are pretty cheap off internet) in some opks and a bbt if you have the time to take your temp at the same time every morning before you get out of bed. When hubby and I decided to start trying, we were going to ntnp. But i decided i really wanted to know what was going on with my own body so i got some opk's. They did help me pinpoint when i ovulated. And then the other bits (ovulation pain, cm, mood etc) all fell into place. Although, they do say that opk's are reliable for ovulation. They just tell you when you are having a surge of the hormone, and that ovulation should occur within 24-48 hours from then. It doesn't confirm it, watching your temps and looking out for the dip will help you to pin point your ovulation day. However, this only helps after ovulation as you need to see the '3 day dip' to confirm ovulation has happened. But by this time you would have most likely missed your fertile days as they are leading up to ovulation and ovulation day. But remember to still bed after ovulation just in case you didn't ovulate. But like i said, temping should confirm ovulation.

I only started temping after i suspected ovulation as wasn't planning on doing it. However, like i said.. i really wanted to understand my body etc. But oral temping wasn't working for me, so i switched to vaginally. Which worked so much better. But i really should have been doing it from the beginning in order to see a pattern. I was just using this month as a dummy run.

So if you have the patients to temp and do opk's. (they really should go hand in hand as using the opk's can help predict the O day before it happens, therefore allowing you to on your fertile days. And temping can help confirm) Also checking CM like you have been will help loads also. If i was you, i would start as soon as you can. Not wait for another cycle. If you get some steady temps with your temping and then it starts to decline, you should expect AF. However, if your temps get higher or stay high its possible that your pregnant. That's what i have learnt from this site anyways lol. Just thought i would pass along the knowledge. Sorry if you already knew it all.

Well af is due on Tuesday so we will see. Ive had bad gas more frequent bowel movements (sorry if TMI) also my nipples were a little itchy. I'm not sure if the cramps were due to it almost being af. So I'm Still hopeful that this will be my month.

 

[brandonsgirl]

Fingers crossed for you

 

[BBWttc29]

Fingers crossed for you

Thank you me too

 

[Frodi]

Thanks Bg!! I actually just went out and purchased a thermometer just now! Willie starting oral temping in the morning!
I am thinking of ordering some test online right now, just thought I'd check here first! when testing vaginally are you using a different type of thermometer or just a standard "oral" one

And my fingers are crossed for you BBWttc29!!!!

 

[Frodi]

There we go! Order has been placed and tests should be here by Tuesday! My "fertile" day according to iPhone app.

Anyone else have an app they'd recommend? I've got one called my days.

welcome to the thread starbaby!!

and..i tested again today haha. it looks the same...i didnt test w fmu so will test with fmu tomorrow and see what happens. tomorrow is 9 dpo..my last two bfps i got at NIGHT on 9 dpo [or so i think] I was due for af on thursday/friday..lets see what happens! the last two times it was negative every day until 9 dpo.

today was a rough day bc I had to go to a babyshower--that wasnt the rough part. I never feel "sad" about other people being pregnant, it actually makes me really happy. the rough part was going shopping for a gift and being in the baby section--was sobbing in the middle of target

I just want a baby so bad...I want it to be my turn to go to the baby dept and I want to buy stuff in the baby dept for MY baby. My first pregnancy the baby would have been born this past week...I just want a bfp

 

[brandonsgirl]

Aww sweetie. I'm sorry your going through a tough time at the moment. I got a faint BFP at night on 10DPO. This morning at 12DPO I got a very faint BFP with FMU that I thought it was an evap but then with SMU I got a darker positive. Same with yday. Yday I took around 4 tests lol. They were all BFP. But the one with FMU was the the lightest of all lines. So keep positive huni. It's still early in you cycle, wait a day or two and try again.

 

[Frodi]

Awe Mah! It's terrible to be going through that, I don't the exact same situation but I do just really want a baby! I want that big bfp probably as bad as any of you in here, I know I'm still young probably to,you guys (22, will be 23 in August) but my hubby and I have been the tether for 4.5 years and it just kinda seems like the next step and its beena long time coming to actually start.

And CONGRATULATIONS BG!!! So many bfp! I'm so,excited for you!
All you ladies are fantastic and I'm glad I've met you all!

 

[brandonsgirl]

Aww dont worry Frodi, im 21.
My FMU test today was so light it worried me, but my SMU was much darker and visible. So try with both MU's

 

[Frodi]

There's a lot if mild car ping going on down there I think AF is on her way.

 

[brandonsgirl]

Car ping pong?

 

[Frodi]

Car ping pong?

awwww, honey, it's ok. I definitely understand. I am to the point were i can't watch TLC at all anymore...I find myself getting jealous, and almost having hatred toward the women on the pregnancy shows...most of them got pregnant so quickly....and they are all giggly and teary eyed....just wanna smack the crap out of them....feels like they are just rubbing it in....and here I am taking forever. It's not from a lack of BDing thats for sure...
Don't get me wrong, I have 2 kids, and they are absolutely beautiful. But I want to give my husband a child from his bloodline soooooooo bad. that would just put me on I think we all have our bad days. Hope you get to feeling better.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE!
