@skinnycow: my cycles have been all over the place too! so frustrating when TTC!
-
@LAZB: another OPK and no line, hardly even a control
-
Copy post * sorry*

@Skinnycow: @SamsMom: @JessieMuller88: @MDF106: @Paranundrum: @Lahela017: @MamaBear87: @StarLitSky:
(I hope I didn't forget anyone.)Ladies - thank you for the updates!
Sorry I couldn't respond sooner but my company had to leave yesterday and then my son fell ill. The day before he had started with the sniffles and coughing the same as my bestie's little boy ... Then gastro issues hit. I don't think they are related. Anyway, the day went to H*ll in a handbasket quickly.
@Mamabear87: - I know we had discussed your grandfather before and I told you my [similar] experience and wished you condolences for the situation at the time, but, please accept my sincerest apology for your loss at this time. Losing a loved one is hard even when it is expected. You will be in my thoughts.
Part 2 of post:
RANT (not crazed ... I promiseI think I'm going to wait to the 23rd(ish) to test again. Maybe even to the 25th if I don't get AF. I don't really want to see another stark white HPT. Also, please note, I'm only on CD 22/11 DPO (3 weeks, 1 day) so having short cycles throws everything out of whack.
Onto mini-rant about this cycle:
I'm perplexed by this cycle. Last cycle, I had every progesterone -induced "pregnancy -like" symptom known to man in the days leading up to AF and was even late for AF! THIS cycle, I can't even get sore boobs for longer than 2 days before it disappears or cramping longer than 15 minutes! (* I can't tell if I'm complaining about that or not either!Incidentally - What happened to this month?! We were on a roll with all the lovely ladies getting their well-deserved BFPs
and now, we have all entered the "twilight Bermuda triangle wacky cycle zone" this second half! Ugh! Have we stalled?!? When is the full moon?! -
I'm 3-4 dpo and had a crazy vivid dream last night, don't ever have them during lp except when I was pregnant with my little. And my temp has jumped up really high the last 2 nights. Hoping so much!
@Kaohinani: Thank you. We're leaving on a trip so haven't read your whole post but will come back
-
@MamaBear87: No problem, get back to it whenever.
Oh, I'm so hopeful for you!
-
So I broke down and took a wondfo. Not sure if I just have line eyes or if something is actually there. Iβm 10 or 11 DPO. What do yβall think?
-
@MamaBear87: Iβm so sorry to hear about your grandpa. You are in my thoughts.
-
@Jessiemuller88: I want to say, "yes" for you so badly but I can't tell if I see anything or if it is the dye streaks.
, cycle buddy!
-
@Kaohinani: thank you! I know Iβm grasping at straws here. I was just so excited it wasnβt stark white
-
Temp still high, still spotting, and BFN. Ugh.
-
@Jessiemuller88: I see it but agree that it's streaky. Fingers crossed!
-
@Jessiemuller88: I am SO scared to take one (especially since I'm home alone with the kids) ... If it is positive, I have to keep it to myself (with the exception of sharing with you all) until hubby returns BUT if it is BFN, I'm going to have to act like nothing is wrong (again ... another cycle) so my kids don't think mommy is having some sort of emotional breakdown.
-
@Jessiemuller88: That is what my BFP looked like on a Wondfo at 9/10 DPO with this pregnancy. I took a FRER and it was positive. Maybe test tomorrow morning with a FRER?
-
@Kaohinani: I totally understand. The fear of a negative is REAL. When does your hubs get home?
-
@Ms.Mermaid: oooooo you just gave me so much hope! Definitely going to buy a pack today!
-
@skinnycow: Aw, skinny, I'm holding out for you! Spotting isn't a period. I have a friend of whom I have known since HS and she spotted a light "period" for 3 months. She tested BFN the first month she began to bleed. Come to find out: She WAS pregnant. She went to the doctor for bloating, headaches, and dizzy spells to find she was about 3.5 months along! She never tracked her bbt but went off of cm and cp. The 3 weird period cycles were how her body had reacted to the increasing levels of Progesterone and HCG! Who'd have "thunk?"
-
@Ms.Mermaid: Great idea! I didn't even think to mention a FRER.
-
@Jessiemuller88: He returns the evening of the 29th. I have a what feels like loooong wait to either surprise him with BFP OR to keep the disappointment of a BFN to myself. Lol.
-
@Jessiemuller88: i don't see anything but I'm terrible at seeing faint lines
-
@skinnycow: the downside to temping is you're like well it looks like I should be pregnant. Hoping for a
for you tomorrow
-
@MamaBear87: I'm sorry for your loss
@Kaohinani: π€!
@Jessiemuller88: wondfos are so hard to read early! -
@Sams Mom: that's so weird
-
@MamaBear87: I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother to a brain tumour just a few months ago. She too was not herself anymore for a long time before she passed away but that doesn't make it much easier.
I'm 11 dpo today and not feeling very hopeful. I'm feeling just the same as every month before AF. I wanted to show you my chart however. Could it be triphasic, what do you think?
-
@paranundrum: Your chart is tricky because there is not a definitive shift to make it triphasic. It is, simply, a slow climb after that one huge peak. I would say, it could, possibly BE on the lower end of a triphasic spectrum. *Fingers crossed!* With the exception of last month's chart (which was triphasic... I'll affix it for your viewing), they have always signaled a BFP for me. Hoping yours is and you get your BFP!
Below is my chart from June -
-
@Kaohinani: Thanks! I'm looking at the 4 dpo temp peak and wondering if it's a temp shift and the next two days are a dip or if it's just a random high temp (from the heat or whatever) and the temp shift actually happened on 7 dpo.
I guess it doesn't really matter, this either is or is not the month, but what else is there to do than over analyze your chart on 11 dpo, right? -
@paranundrum: Exactly! At 11 dpo, there really isn't much else to do ... analyze bbt charts and [wishfully] POAS.
-
@paranundrum: I looked at it as 4 dpo was a wayward temp (spike) and the actual shift was on 7 dpo after the 2-day slight "dip."
-
@Kaohinani: That makes sense.
I wonder if and how much do the charts differ visually when using celcius or fahrenheit. -
@paranundrum: I believe, there is a feature (in your account settings) on ff that allows you to switch between β’F and β’C. You could always run an experiment and test it out?
-
I tried. FF wouldn't allow me to change units in the middle of the cycle, but that didn't stop me. Lol.
The more dramatic line is F, the other is C.
-
@paranundrum: Nice!
-
This is how it dried. Is it just a bad dye run? Iβm going to go crazy until tomorrow morning!
-
@Jessiemuller88: Sweetheart, put the test in the trash, please.
-
@Kaohinani: I needed that. Thank you. Itβs gone.
-
So my bestie of 24 years (since the first day of kindergarten) is staying the night at my house tonight with her husband and 9 week old on their way through town. I'm super excited to meet my "nephew" for the first time in real life... But I'm a little sad too because I was so sure we would get to be pregnant together like we always talked about... But she got pregnant her first month trying (I can't be mad because that's what happened kinda with Sam for me), and it was my 4th or 5th cycle trying.
I'm happy and excited, but I'm blaming the Clomid for being in my feels that I could have had/wanted to have a baby the same age as her son.
-
@Jessiemuller88: No problem. I'll expect you to do the same when I take my test.
-
@Kaohinani: β mtwilight Bermuda triangle wacky cycle zoneβ haha so funny but so true!!
train to start up again!!@Jessiemuller88: canβt wait to see your test in the morning!!
@Sams Mom: totally normal to feel sad!! π€
-
ANNNDDD, I think I may be headed towards the door on this one ... I may be OUT.
P.S.
@JessieMuller88: @Skinnycow: @Paranundrum:
Any news, ladies?... Staying hopeful for you. -
@Kaohinani: I wish I had better news, but my temp went down quite a bit and the spotting is starting too as it always does. No luck this month. I'm guessing AF will be here by tomorrow evening at the latest.
and now, we have all entered the "twilight Bermuda triangle wacky cycle zone" this second half! Ugh! Have we stalled?!? When is the full moon?!
