Nov 18-21 AF
Cd5 bd
Cd6 bd
Cd7 bd
Cd8 bd
Cd9 bd, crabby!
Cd10 bd, crabby yet increased sex drive,Ovulation?
Cd11 bd, very minimal cramping while in bed in the p.m. wouldn't even tell if I wasn't paying such close attention
Cd12 bd, same as cd11
Cd13 bd, No out of the ordinary symptoms
Cd14 bd, dizzy spell, light cramping at night
Cd15 bd, cramping more, cervix high and soft, lotion like CM, dizzy spell during the day
Cd16 bd, cervix high and soft, closed? Can barely barely reach it, only can reach it if I push like I'm pooping then I can just feel the tip of my cervix (sorry TMI) cramping on and off all day, pink tinge when wiped in p.m. twice but almost not.noticeable, AF not due for another week and a half, tired..


Does it sound like i finally got lucky after 6 mo of trying.. never experience these mid cycle cramps.. these tww's are awful..

Lots of BDing because we are determined.

Im feeling hopeful but dont want to get my hopes up as that gives me a reason to be disappointed. Send baby dust please... hope to follow others also. And please update with a bfp or icky AF. Hopefully i can report my symptoms as being a BFP!

AF due dec. 15

looks like you got your days covered! lol u go girl. I missed O last month so I will Bd a lot as well. and fingers Xed for u. are you testing the 15th?

 

[LovingMyGirls]

Zeb, i am truly praying for you! I hope nasty af stays away from you.

I'm hoping and praying af stays away. Now i now your not suppose to look at the test after the time limit but me being me... ... anyway, the second line which was a squinter earlier on was totaly visible without holding it up to a light... I'm not getting my hopes up cuz they'll only be crushed but I'm sooooo hoping im going to get a soon!!!
Legs are aching and also getting AF type pains..

Baby dust to all. x

GL~ sounds good. hopefully your line is darker and the wicked witch stays away!! thanks for the baby dust we need it

Hi... mind if I join?

Ttc #2, currently a mom to a beautiful DS who will be turning one next week

Have been trying for #2 for a few months now. This month in particular I'm really struggling with reading my chart, so would love your help in interpreting it! I couldn't be bothered with OPKs this month as they have led to so much anxiety and frustration in the past that I swear they were the reason my ovulation was so late in my cycle.

I've been sick with a headcold a little bit over the past month, so would attribute that to some wonky temps? CD12 I was definitely feeling feverish and fighting something off. Still, I was pretty sure I was o'ing.

Was confident I'd o'ed, but was disappointed on CD16 to only see a small rise, and even more disappointed on CD17 to see a major dip. The only thing I can think of for CD17 was that I had major tension headache/throat/sinus issues.

Still, I was watching my CM like a hawk and think it matches best with an O day of 14 or 15...

Appreciate your insight! Thanks in advance!

Oh, and for the record, no sense in comparing against previous charts, as I can be ALL over the map: two cycles ago I o'ed on CD27 and cycle lasted 40 days; one cycle ago I o'ed on CD15 and cycle lasted 24 days

I've been seeing a RE to help sort and all my tests come back fine. I seriously think cycles with later O are owing on account of pressure to O!

Here's my chart:

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3b4gh6

Oh, and just for fun I went ahead a few days into the future and entered in a bunch of temps in the higher range. It refuses to give me crosshairs any earlier than CD17.

I'm 99% sure I didn't ovulate any later than CD15, though, because my CM was so gummy/sticky/creamy, whereas CD12-15, it was EWCM.

Thoughts??

Again, thanks so much!

Welcome!!! of course you can join!!I am thinking Cd16-17 might be the day of O because you had a temp drops after and temps tend to always stay high until AF. Its hard to read because you don't take temps daily. Sometimes I only get watery not EWCM during O. 3 temps high is when you will get your CHs. GL to u. Your cycles aren't regulated so that's toughy. I know the feeling since being off BCP I cant predict anything. its very frustrating. Maybe you can take something natural to regulate cycles. are you Bfing your DS?

Wow, you go girl with all the bd'ing! Here's lots of baby dust for you!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

So dh SA came back all normal. GP has finally reffered me to a fertility clinic, only god knows how long this process will take. I hate this waiting game

I felt really down after my appt and cried myself to sleep.

On another note, if i OV'd when I think i did, i would be 12dpo today.. i decided to do a FRER with FMU today and im sure i saw a squinter of a line ONLY by holding it up to the light in 101 different angels (you know how we do!!!) but I think im seeing it because I want to see it if you know what I mean. AF should be arriving 2moro or Thursday... I really hope she stays away and this is the begining of a BFP.

Yay for DH SA coming back normal. THat's half the battle right there.

And yay for being referred to a fertility clinic. Hang in there. Things are happening.

I hope you won't need them though and this is the start of your BFP!!!

JHey girl. Thanks for all the baby dust. I caught some and put it in a jar yes we did lots and lotss of BDing this cycle. Were determined after 6 months to make this our month. I cant remeber if i updated my symptoms yet.... ill check. I hope all goes well with you and you get lucky this time around. Its so hard to wait and then be disappointed each month.... not sure when to test... aidensmom and i are having the same symptoms and on the same day also, maybe fri?

Thanks so much, LovingMyGirls! Totally hear you on why you think I might have o'ed on CD16 or CD17 -- it's just that I can't get past the quality of my CM on those days. TMI (!!), but it was so much gummier and stickier on CD16 compared to CD12, 13, 14, 15... I remember on Sunday saying to myself, "awesome! I'm clearly in the LP now!!" because even though I only had a temp shift from 36.4 to 36.55 (Celsius), which is still a fairly typical 1DPO shift for me, that it was kind of being "confirmed" by my CM, which was so rubbery/gummy I could roll it in a ball on my fingers, you know?

Anyway! I guess we'll see. I might have to override FF on my CH. Just have to be patient, which is not my strongsuit

I haven't been bf'ing in 6 months, so I think that has settled itself. I am blaming a lot of my irregularity on both vitex and stress. When I went for testing with my RE, all bloodwork came back perfect, but the only strange thing was that I was showing higher than normal progesterone levels in the follicular phase. We chatted about the vitex and both agreed it it what has likely been playing a bit with my body, not to mention stress around o'ing. I can't even begin to describe how liberated I feel without the OPKs. I don't find temping stressful at all, but "testing" with my OPKs seriously had me going crazy!!

I did skip a few temps because DS was up during the night and would have thrown off my temps those days.

The only other thing I can think that might have happed on CD 17 is a "fallback rise"??

Sticking to 1 thread, too confusing... plz follow

[burnsforbaby]

temps look good.. i hope this is it...

 

[zebadi]

Tested againn this morning... no line at all... not even a squinter! i feeli like giving up!

 

[IceQueen86]

Ice, congratulations! It's amazing to find out the gender - I'm having a boy too! And you look great! Hope you've been feeling good this 2nd trimester.

Update to the ladies who know me here, it's in the spoiler

Spoiler

I just found out that i'm having a boy!

Thanks and congrats to you too! I've been feeling great, back to normal again What about you? Looks like baby boys are popular

YEAHHHHHHHHHH!! lucky u! Im SOOO happy for you girl. Hard to believe that was 23 weeks ago when you got your BFP. love the bump pic!!! so glad your feeling well, you should be all good from this point on till the end!! Now u need to send your boy vibes to this momma! lol We are really taking it on this month. I am on AF now and in 2 weeks we will be DTD so I cant miss it. so glad to hear from you girl. xoxo

I'm sending you boy vibes and tons of dust Are you still charting? I think you already know that but since you want a boy then def. BD right before O and on O day. They say the closer to the O the bigger chance is to have a boy. It's true for me

 

[IceQueen86]

I should be back in the 2ww starting Thursday! I should O tonight late or for sure tomorrow sometime. When on fertility meds, they tell you when you will O. it's so weird. But great appointment today with my u/s. 2 MATURE FOLLIES and one almost there. One on left was 27mm and two on the right were 20 and 16. HCG trigger should help them all on their way. Woot woot! Please God give us our miracle this cycle.

How you doing with your shots? Still very painful? By telling you when you O, they make your job easier This way you can't miss your O

 

[ygb]

Good luck to you! I am in the same boat. Ovulated on the 29th, and am at 6dpo. We have been trying for 7 months. Very frustrating. I hate this 2ww, because EVERYTHING becomes a symptom! Good luck!

 

[ygb]

Don't quit just yet!!! There is always another month if this one doesn't work out...BUT, I feel your frustration. Have been trying 7 months and nothing yet. am currently 6dpo and doing the latest TWW.

 

[burnsforbaby]

well my boobs are super sore & i had cramps from hell it hurt to move until they were done. i hope this is a good sign cause idk anymore! lol.

 

[burnsforbaby]
