Ttc number 3 :)

[spunky84]

I'm still not sure what the deal is with me. I think my opk later in the afternoon was positive. The attached is from today. If so, then that's 4 days of positive opks.

If I O today and we don't BD, we still may have a chance. If we can't and I O tomorrow, then we're out. I calculated my dip which was a 0.78 drop from yesterday

 

[spunky84]

That last opk was around 4 which I think is positive. In the last few days, the ones in the evening have been positive, so I just took another. The solid smiley went away this afternoon, so I figured I'd give it a try using the same urine. The urine was pretty concentrated. Both came back negative, I'd say my surge is definitely over.

If I remember, I may try the digital in the mornings so I can get a baseline going if I end up having another surge and ovulate later.

Spunky - with the digital you have to wait 3-4 days I believe for it to read as a new cycle . Otherwise it's going to assume it's your same cycle and you won't get a high reading next time . Also, sperm can live in you for 5 days so if you O tonight or tomorrow , have you and dh bd'd anytime recently ? If so you have a chance !
The only reason I read the FR as a positive for me was because the ones previous to that were almost non existent test lines and then it got dark like that out of nowhere . & that same day is when the ewcm started . But maybe the ic's I took after that are the true positives which I took yesterday and today. Today is day 3 if the FR was positive . Day 2 if not . Guess we are back to seeing what my temp and opk looks like tmw ! I had another pos. Opk tonight the dip for your spunky could just be your pre O dip so it could happen tonight ! Let me know what it's like tmw ! Fingers crossed

 

[cnsweeney]

So these are all of my opks since Thursday . The first is Thursday . The second is Friday . The third is Saturday . The first 2 ic's are yesterday & the bottom two are today .

 

[Katy78]

Spunky, it looks like you are finally ovulating. I hope you managed to bd one more time.

I wrote too soon. The ache started later in the day. I'm actually attributing it to AF. I am yet to be proven wrong...

Regarding GD. They wanted to induce me but it started on its own luckily, my doctor only did the stripping and she broke my waters in the delivery room.

 

[Gypsy99]

Helllllooooo everyone. I feel like a new person at the moment and I don't know exactly why. Actually it may be a mix of me keeping my fluids up so I'm not so tired, and I am not getting as many horrible aches and pains this month. My fertile window apparently is from this Saturday to Wednesday and it seems about right so Bding time!!! I'm feeling more 'wet' down there at the moment too, which I'm hoping is a plus.

I'm having a few drinks on Saturday to celebrate the last week of placement, so hoping it doesn't screw things around but it might relax me anyway!

Katy I hope that AF stays away for you. We need to start seeing some BFP's in this thread!! Good luck to everyone that is in ovulation phase.

 

[Babydust28]

Does anyone think I've had the implantation dip?
I'm so hopefully I'm ticking so many symptom boxes xx

 

[spunky84]

I'm just popping in real quick and will respond later.

BD once more before bed. Got to bed alpine 1am. Woke up at 3 with severe ear pain in both ears. Tossed and turned for a bit. I tried to as minimally as possible. Needed to get up for pain meds since it was getting that bad. 97.27 at 3:30, but that's likely from tossing and turning (i don't feel feverish despite the pain). Got up for pain meds at 3:40 and am still tossing and turning, whoring for them to kick in.

It's almost a bit after 4 and they're starting to kick in, so in hoping to hey bank to sleep soon. I have to be up at 5:30 regardless, so I'll temp again (just wanted to before i got up to walk around). Either way my temp at 5:30 won't be accurate either. So I'm not really site which temp to record (even though neither will be accurate which in going to document).

I still have to go into school. I'm hoping this ear stuff will be better by then. I'm not sure if they'll make me leave or not our if I'll even be able to handle staying I'd it doesn't get better.

I'm guessing a doctor visit is going to be in order later. I'd i have to go, should i say we're ttc in case they need to give me anything? I know it matters in pregnancy, bit I'm not sure if it matters at This point whether or not I've ovulated.

I'll definitely be back later to respond. Just not sure when as it depends on what happens with my ears and if i end up staying for school or not sms I'd i end up at the Dr's or not afterwards.

Spunky - the higher temp could be your spike let's see what it's like over he next few days
Babydust- you had quite a few dips throughout your cycle so I'm gonna say no , no clear dip but there is a clear biphasic temp going on showing O !
Gypsy- lots of baby dust to you Saturday!
AFM- I finally got a negative opk this morning but ewcm is still hanging out and no temp spike . Plus it was fmu so I will try again in the afternoon and see. I don't think I've O'd and quite honestly with all of the things I've done for swaying I just feel very deflated these past couple of days thinking that with all of these false signs of O , we have bd'd on days we probably shouldn't have according to our sway . I really feel that considering I have regular 28 day cycles usually and O on cd14 typically , that the b6 I was taking REALLY messed things up . Like I said a few pages back , I was taking prenatals daily which contain 104% b6 . When O didn't come as expected I did some research that pointed to b6 delaying or preventing O. So I stopped taking it and sure enough the next day on cd 15 I got ewcm and a pos opk . I was thrilled . But that was short lived because I've had 3 days of ewcm and positive opk's with NO TEMP RISE ! we have been bd'ing every night of a positive opk . Now I'm going to give bd'ing a break and quite honestly I kind of just want to move on to my next cycle and really don't want to O this cycle because I just want a fresh start and a good sway . I feel like if I get pregnant this time it will be another girl which is fine but I at least want to know I had a chance to sway. So I started taking the prenatal again this morning hoping it prevents O and eventually af will come and I can move on !

 

[Babydust28]

Babydust- you had quite a few dips throughout your cycle so I'm gonna say no , no clear dip but there is a clear biphasic temp going on showing O !

Thank you. I'm just waiting on my blood results to let me know for sure if I've Od but I do think I have.
How much of a drop happens at implantation? X

 

[cnsweeney]

Baby dust - oh I'm not sure . I don't think I ever had an implantation drop . It just stayed high .

 

[cnsweeney]

Okay ladies so I'm back to the drawing board . Ewcm now seems to be getting white and creamy . Very little stretch to it at all. & I got a negative opk even with smu also. Now my temp wasn't spiked this morning but I read it can take 12-24 hours after ovulation for temp to spike . So if I O'd anytime past 6pm last night (test was positive around 830) I could possibly just not have had the spike yet . So tmw I will see what my temp says. Please lord be a spike

 

[cnsweeney]

Looks like a clear O to me . Fade in then fade out . Now if only my damn temps would agree .
But then I'll be worried because with dd2 the opk's stayed positive as a pregnancy indicator so maybe even if I did O I won't get a bfp ? But then again I read that girls put off hcg at faster higher rates (scientifically proven) so maybe this one would be a boy !! Hahahaha okay I know I'm sorry , I'm a nut

 

[spunky84]

cns: You'd think I would have learned to read the directions of the BC digital by now

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time spotting O. It's so frustrating when you're not sure and it seems like it keeps getting put off. What was your temp today?

You're opks look awesome, to be honest!

Katy: I really hope so. Well, While I hope so I'm trying not to hope lol

I'm glad you ended up going on your own! My body refused to. With DD I was 3-4 cm dilated and 100% effaced but never went into labor. I was induced at 41+6 (by choice - I could've waited 1 more day) and DD started having late decels within 10 minutes of pitocin, but I think she would have anyway. They decided to delivery DS by cs 2 days before his EDD for reduced movements and they didn't want to risk a gentle induction (which turned out for the best anyway!).

I hope the rest of your 2ww goes by quickly!

Gypsy: That's awesome about not feeling so tired any more and the cm. It sounds like the increase in fluids has really started helping! How many days has it been since you increased fluid intake? Have BDing this weekend!

Babydust: I'm not great with analyzing charts, but I think it's too hard to tell yet without a few more temps to follow. Fx crossed for you!



AFM, still feeling like garbage, but didn't go to the doctor. Whatever was causing the pain seems to have burst or something as I started randomly getting fluid after hearing some fizzy-popping sounds. Still a bit of an ache and everything is muffled and still a bit off balance, but I'm waiting until tomorrow to see what it does. If it gets bad again, I'm going tomorrow.

I honestly feel like my temp is because of my ears.

I know bbts aren't accurate after you've been up and moving, so I know this isn't anything to go by, but I've done random bbts during the day out of curiousity, and those are usually in the 97s, but not all that close to 98 (like no more than 97.5-7). I've been in the 98s since getting home, even with just kind of laying around a bit. Like I said, I know it's not accurate or anything to go by, but I'm really thinking it's my ears.

My 5:30 temp was 97.21 which is what I charted (though I have it so it's showing as a possibly inaccurate temp). It's only 0.6 above the highest temp in the last 6 days, and I read it should be at least 0.2 higher. I'm still going to wait and see what my temps show over the next few days, but if this sickness keeps up, I'm not sure if it's accurate or not.

I'm not sure how well I will sleep tonight as I have a lot to do, so I'm not anticipating getting much sleep tonight, but I really feel like it'll be down tomorrow unless I'm still about the same with my ears and whatnot.

ETA: Negative afternoon opk; CM dry; but CP high soft and open??? It definitely seems open still, so no idea!

 

[cnsweeney]

Spunky - it seems we are both having a pesky month ! lol I will attach a pic of my chart . I only have a few temps though because I deleted the ones that I didn't do at the right time of day . I'm remaining hopeful that I get a spike in the morning

 

[Gypsy99]

Spunky - Doing your temp through out the day will make it wack. i'd go with your first one. I've increased fluid increase since I started my cycle and I'm CD8 now. I'm now onto the grapefruit juice and green tea tonight and evening primrose oil. lol So much increase but if it helps so be it. I had some egg white mucus today which is way to early - very weird.

CNSweeney - it sounds like a spike should come up tomorrow. Good luck!!!

 

[cnsweeney]

So I got some wondfos in the mail yesterday . Perfect timing because I had just ran out of the other ic brand I was using haha .of course I had to try them out lol. I did two of them last night and they were pretty dark :/ not sure if positive or not . & I've never used wondfos to know how sensitive they are .
My temp went up .35. Hoping it stays up otherwise it'll be another bust I'll post my opks and chart so you guys can give me your opinion

 

[cnsweeney]

Just did another with fmu . For those of you that use wondfos do you notice the the control line is darker in the 5 minute time frame and then gets lighter throughout the day ?? It's messing with me ! Lol . This one I just took is negative but it will probably look positive by this afternoon I know that shouldn't matter but y'all know how it is! Lol . I hate having to to wait a whole day to do another temp lol . I'll do another opk this afternoon and update . I really feel it can't be me gearing up to O again because all the other fertile signs have left the building ! lol ewcm is def. creamy now . For those of you who have ever experienced another surge did you get your ewcm back too?

 

[spunky84]

I'll have to respond tomorrow as I'm about to head off to bed (long day and can barely stay away to do this).

CP medium, medium, closed. CM slightly creamy / watery (basically back to what I was before that was really confusing).

Negative afternoon and evening opks.

I think my temp changes were related to being sick. I read that even without a fever illness could make temps inaccurate. I went to the doctor today and found out that both ears are pretty infected and that I ruptured my eardrum yesterday. So I just started antibiotics this evening. So I'm pretty sure that's what was responsible for my mini rise.

Temp this morning was down to 96.92 from 97.21 (which I have as inaccurate anyway because of lack of sleep and tossing and turning, etc). I was really bummed to see that it was down... to the point that I laid there taking temp after temp for about 10 minutes

Evey temp after was higher than yesterdays, but from what I've read, it should always be the first temp and that even just the slightest movements in bed could make it inaccurate (so charted the very first). Every temp after that ranged between 97.32 and 97.8something. I stopped typing them down after so many lol but the majority settled in around 97.4something.

I know I should've just stopped the madness and stopped temping after the the original, but I couldn't help it. I'm bummed. I really hope my body tries to O again soon. I order more opks that came in Tuesday, so I guess I'm at least covered there.

 

[cnsweeney]

Spunky - idk, your temps seem to be on a slow steady rise . I can see some sort of biphasic thing going on FF hasn't detected it yet though but maybe it will in the next day or two! Fingers crossed for you! & hope you feel better !
AFM- my temps are still up today .. it's actually the exact same as yesterday ! Lol- tmw will confirm O if it is high again . Praying ! If so tmw will be 3dpo . I said I would wait until Saturday the 12th to test but I know darn well I'll probably be testing all next week
