Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[ttcbabyisom]

Ive been having these really weird pains in my left side, almost like I just ran a marathon however all I actually did was sit on my ass. it feels like a stich or a pulled mussel from running. Weird. On another note my temp was still up today, this month is so different from last month. And because this is only the second time charting I have no other normal chart to go by for myself.

I am also feeling a pinching in my bladder, I don't normally get bladder infections haven't had one in a long time. hummmm

Maybe im just a little stressed out, and of course being in the 2ww is not helping.

This is shaping up so far to be a very nice chart lady!

AHH, How many times is my body going to get ready then it not happen?? GRRR . Ice that chart looks awesome, how long did your cycles take to get normal after getting off the b/c?? and oh yeah I def never had any of that happen. I never tried to check my CP but I definitely will start trying to. I don't quite know what im feeling for lol ill search till I figure it out!! HAHAH anyways I am so glad I have people helping me through this. I just want to be on the TWW at this point.

oh btw the OPK was neg today. Yesterday it was the strongest positive I ever got. I gave up last week using OPK cause I already had my pos but I obviously didn't O. If im feeling right my CP is soft and easy to push?? what does that mean? and as I am on a 50 question rant. I am having difficulty telling EW CM from DH S

Can anyone tell me why FF bumped up my CHs to the 14th now(from the 13th), my temp went up again this morning - is this why?

how depressing ...........

First of all Ice, your chart is looking AMAZING!!!

Second, i am going to have to try your method of keeping the cycle talk on the dl. I think it's really starting to stress my hubby out and it's becoming not so fun for us anymore. When i do stop talking about it though, he does ask me questions sometimes. Also he can hear my temp thing go off every morning so not sure how to keep it a secret. I need to buy a silent temp thing or one that's very very low. Mine is super loud. I like how you handle it though. Truly the less they know the better. I'm so bad about that.

Thanks and to reply to my other post where i said i think i missed my O, i hope i'm wrong too

Men get stressed out the same way we do. So just try to talk about it less and don't tell him that ok tomorrow we have to start BDing lol, he will get stressed out the same evening you tell him that lol. So if he wants to know something he will ask you like you said. Plus when you do start BDing you can wear something nice for me, to take his mind off of BDing and make him feel more special. I have even noticed in forums that women say their DH's feel like women want them only for their swimmers and that's the only reason they BD with them And you do not want him to feel that way.
What i do with my therm. when i hear the first peep i will quickly push it deep down under the blanket, close to my knees and let it finish peeping there. You can still hear a bit but it's not as loud as it is if you hold it outside.

your temp is still climbing, i sure hope you didn't miss it! Wow, great chart!

Yes yes, i know...i'm going to work on this but when i see that positive opk and get other signs, i get all excited. sometimes i don't say a word but try to lure him other ways and most of the time, he just doesn't get the hint or follow my lead so i have to hint why i'm pushing so much...then he's like "OH...ok!" Men!
Yeah, i do that with my thermometer too. My new one beeps way longer though. So stupid! He, he...

Thanks! If he doesn't get it i guess you have to say it straight out How long does your therm. beep? Mine beeps 4 times.

It can happen many times, my body has geared up to O 3 times before it really happened. My cycles are still irregular.When i stopped bcp 2 years ago i first had cycles, long and irregular for 6-7 months, then we decided to start ttc and that same cycle i stopped Oing and didn't get real AF, that lasted for 8-9 months and well now i do O on my own but late as you can see. I guess it all depends of a woman. Hopefully you don't have to go through all this.

Here's a link for you about CP and how to check it and stuff: https://infertility.about.com/od/tryingtoconceive101/ht/cervixovulation.htm

Here's how you can tell the difference from EWMC and swimmers
EWCM is very elastic. When you put it between two fingers, it will stretch without breaking apart, while semen will break apart almost immediately.

EWCM is clear while semen is a bit cloudy.

EWCM does not absorb easily. You can try the toilet paper test: if it sits atop the toilet paper even after a few minutes, it is EWCM. If it absorbs, it is semen.

EWCM will form a ball in water. Let some drop into the toilet: if it balls up and sinks, it is EWCM. If it dissolves, it is semen.


PS! Waiting to see your today's temp!

how depressing ...........

I'm not 100% sure, but i'm thinking that maybe FF did it because you still have +opk's on CD14 and CD15

You still have the same huge chance to get your bfp as you did when your CH was on CD13

 

[LovingMyGirls]

Ice, Seriously thank you, you taught me so much already, haha lol, and that website really helped me out and Im not sure if its a good or bad thing but I cant reach up that far to find my cervix, hopefully its cause I ovulated??(wishful thinking) If tomorrows temp is high again I will be FX. I am starting to stalk peoples charts to get a better understanding of them.

I tried to remove the 3rd + and it didn't change anything. *sigh*
just have to wait and see I guess.

Hi guys, just wondering what you think my chances are if conceiving. My hubby and I DTD'd twice 4 days before I ovulated.

 

[dovkav123]

Hello ladies,

I am back! I am almost in TWW.
kelly,
great sperm can survive for 4 days, I think you have a chance.


I got of my BC (progesterone) in 2008, (I was for 2 years on it). I complained to my dr. about spotting in the middle of my cycle and he gave me different pills, but they costed double. I decided to quit BC because I had strong PmS. After quitting them I started experiencing very long 7-8 days lasting periods, horrible cramping, migraines, O pains. All this lasted for 5 years. I blame BC for all my mysery.
I made a good decision to quit them, and we used a pull out method instead. My physician told me this is a pull and pray method!
Never got preggo.
But now we are praying for a baby.
Other couples are on BC for 10 years and then they find out that they have firtility issues. That is not fair!
Baby dust to all! It is a berry season! Vitamins will make us super firtile!

Hopefully Friday's temp was your O temp! Geesh...cycles that are all over the place and not reliable suck. I can't imagine. I seem to be one of the lucky ones...i'm sorry. Checking CP is a great indicator though. I just started doing it and it really helps.

Sounds like you O'd yesterday or day before according to your CP and your temps. Your temps the next two days will determine. I hope it was right. Make sure you're still BD'ing! I'm still not sure how to tell EW from DH's sperm either...it's a tough one! I try to check it first thing in the morning before him and I dtd and sometimes I can tell then but can't the rest of the day because of his spermies.

You are still great. You dtd perfectly! You have very great chances this cycle!

Sigh...so this is the beginning of our tww. We are so anxious for a BFP. The last BFP we had was both exciting and short lived. I made it to 7 weeks and had a miscarriage. Keeping our fingers crossed.

 

[Kelly876]

Thanks guys!! I'm ovulating today, wish hubby was home so we could have a better chance. Fingers are crossed for all of us!!
