Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

BabyWhisperer-

I think you are seriously covered as far as the bd'ing goes. You bd'd 5 times over a period stretch of a week- that pretty much covers it. I'd say some soldiers ready and waiting and others are trying to team to the front

As far as not seeing a definite spike on your chart yet- this can be attributed to your gym workouts, I think we have seen this before with Jess and I have read that working out hard can change your bbt somewhat.

If you got smiley's on OPK CD14 and CD15 then I'd say your ovulation day was yesterday (CD16).

So no sweat on bd'ing! FF and bbt'ing can be tricky but I have found ewcm almost never lies If you had that yesterday then I'd say you have anice hospitable cervix waiting to hold those little Generally the day after Ov is when cm dries up. How is it today? (Never tmi on bnb )

Maybe I had that spike today but I didn't temp, we bd as soon as I woke up. If I ovu yesterday I'm sad b/c that's the once day we didn't bd! Coy, you are a chart master!

Like Ali said, if you bd a few times prior to Ov you should be set to go! In fact, I am trying to remember...seems like dh and I bd like 3 times? the 5 days or so leading up to Ov then the day after but I can't remember and my stupid computer crashed and wiped my chart from my harddrive I gotta see if I can retireve it somehow....Anyway, don't be sad about Ov day as far as bd'ing, it's actually best the days leading up to as has a chance to get in place for the egg IYKWIM??

 

[Grey Eyes]

Jess- Hmmm...Just going over your chart. Your temp seems to have leveled at 97.2 the last couple days and is way abover your cover line. Jess, where are you?!! Did you ?? According to FF you're at 10dpo.....

 

[Babywhisperer]

BabyWhisperer- Oh, I forgot to ask, on your chart it shows cm in green for CD13-17...what does the green indicate? EWCM??

I think that was watery?

Thank you for that. I'm just sad as I had the most ewcm yesterday and felt most frisky...so that's why I put him to work this morning just in case. It's that 36hr window of no bd that kills me. Anyone remember that song Detachable Penis? Yeah, I'm wishing I had that right about now.

Watery? Really? But you had ewcm yesterday right? Even at watery for those days leading up to Ov is good and if you had ewcm yesterday (?) that's all good too! Keep bd'ing evry other day as long as you have good cm as that's a sign of fertility period....have you ever gotten multiple surges of lh? E.g., have two possible Ov dates in one month...I have heard of this where the lh surges (gives you a positive opk) then the egg doesn't release so the lh surges stronger (giving you another positive) then the egg releases....But seeing as you had smiley's 2 days ina row I think we can safely say you Ov'd!

W = watery
E = egg white

I am still on the fence here. I agree that if you O'd on Sunday or maybe Monday then you probably BD'd enough, but the EWCM that you are having now leads me to believe that you may not have? Without knowing what your temp was this morning, and not having an OPK test today, I just don't know. If I were you I'd grab your DH tonight and tomorrow just for good measure! I mean why not? Then you will know that you did EVERYTHING you needed to do.

 

[Grey Eyes]

NO< I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT SONG! Made me laugh though! LOL! Detachable what? LOL! No need to feel sad, the days you said you bd'd got ya covered! Especilly iwth watery or ewcm but keep at it as long as you have the ewcm

 

[Grey Eyes]

Ali-0 I think you are right. As long as there is ewcm then go for some bd'ing just to cya (IYKWIM? ) and then wouldn't have to worry.

How are ya feeling btw lady??

 

[Grey Eyes]

Right now I feel...weird....Starving all of a sudden, lightheaded, babes is kicking the bee-jeesus out of me.....

Oh I'm gonna grab him alright, and put him a headlock for last night!

Coy, I love that you took the tests apart too! I wanted to see the test line to make sure it was ascending or descending.

I was a little crampy this morning before we bd and Ihave been constipated for 2 days...that's what happens to be during ovu. So maybe it started last night sometime. It's less wet today than it was yesterday and getting sticky/tacky. Could that still be dh's *stuff* left over from this morning?

 

[Grey Eyes]

Babywhisperer- the sticky tacky could be a combination but I'd say it's the cm drying up as dh should be a little more watery ?? So yeah, bd tonight to if you can!

Thank you. I will try and get him into the mood. I know he going to be dog ass tired from me waking him up at 6am since he was hungover. I want my bfp!

HEHE! Well it was his fault for getting drunk last night!! I don't blame you, go get it girl!!! I had to laugh about the song.. do not know/remember that one either, but wow, it sounds hilarious!!


Coy - I'm doing OK. Not feeling much of anything now, I had a really bad cramp this morning that lasted about 2 minutes and it went away, and I haven't had cramping since. Now I just feel bloated and I had a bout of dizziness a few minutes ago. So I grabbed a granola bar, just in case it was a blood sugar thing. I wasn't hungry at all, but figured it wouldn't hurt. So sorry babes is kicking up a storm, she must be ready to get out, and enter the world. You would think she would just do so right? I'm picturing this little baby in a balloon, and they are punching and kicking trying to find a way out! Seems to me like you could go into labor anytime now! I can't wait to be a bnb auntie!! LOL.

LOL! So let him sleep....just pounce on him naked- what can he do? Say no? NOT LIKELY!

Aaargh! I know, right? I know she is uncomfortable in there, no room to move, she is almost constantly shoving and wedging aorund...she'll get tired and want out soon. SOON I hope! Like I said, I dread labor pain but it's the way of life so it doesn't last very long and I get this beautiful baby at the end!

Hm, I wonder about the cramp? Your fs said cramping is good so take it as a positive sign! How come life can't be different for women? How come getting pregnant isn't easy, and early pregnancy should be like tickles, you know? We should walk around with a case of the giggles for 9 months, and labor should be something like a relaxing evening with a glass of wine and baby comes out....*sigh* Nope. Aches, pains, worries, and stresses fromt he very beginning!

I hear you! Thing is, I think if you are young and fit and not looking to get pregnant, you will have an easy pregnancy followed by easy labor and a perfect bundle of joy. It seems like the more you want it the worse it is for us! So not fair!
I do not know what that cramp was, it was bad, like I was doubled over with it. Then it went away are quickly as it appeared, and no cramping since. Seemed pretty strange to me, and yes, the nurse at my FS office said cramping from days 2-6 is good, that is when the embryo is attaching itself to the lining. So maybe that is just what it was doing? The final burrow. I don't know. I can hope and pray that is what it was doing

I think you should do some aerobics, jump around a bit, maybe do some BD'ing? Don't they say that helps get the baby moving.. Sure sounds like she wants out!!!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Lol, we've tried justa bout everything...I'm not much of a believer in stuff you can eat getting them out. This little one loves spicy food so I think she'd stay in there if I ate any! So yes to the bd'ing, the walking, the jumping aorund (sort of) lol...I am going to try working outside some and see what happens.....

 

[Grey Eyes]

Thanks for being so supportive! You have all helped my 9 months fly by and given me different perspectives on everything. You always have encouraging and insightful words to post and it helps a TON, believe me! Everyday I think about you and your journeys, I worry about you, fret, etc, it's like we have our own little bnb family here! Hugs to all of you! - Thanks for being here for me

I know when I was born I was breech, they yanked me out b/c I was kicking on my Mom's pelvis she was creaming. But hey, I was on time, I was due the 26th and that's when I came. The baby is just jumping for joy to join the party out here!
