    @keepcalmcarrie: yay! Congrats! what a nice looking line

    I am on CD1. Only an 8 day luteal phase, so hoping for a longer one this month. I also O'd on CD 23 this month which is a week or so later than what I used to, so hopefully this month I can get back on cycle. I'm just happy that I had a regular cycle for my first month having one PP. Good luck to everyone! I'll be back in a week or two

    @MrsB2012: sorry you are out. Are you going to poas again at the end of May you think?

    @Anya: it's ok I'm just happy I didn't have like a 60 day cycle for my first one. I should be able to POAS on May 30th. The cycle I got my BPF with my DD I had CD1 on the 2nd of the month and got my BPF on the 29th, here's hoping to a repeat of that

    Hmmm, I still don't have a positive OPK. And DH is feeling crummy.

    At least California is nice. And hot!

    @Espion: I'm right there with you. I expected a positive OPK today, but it was still not as dark as the control line this morning. I'm going to try again this evening and if it is not positive then, it has to be tomorrow or I will go insane.

    Feeling really down over here today. Every cycle I get this little glimmer of hope around o time but mostly my body is just acting like its all cracked out. I'm so tired of ttc already!

    @keepcalmcarrie: Congrats!

    I used my first opk yesterday! I think I've already got my hopes up for this cycle too much. Hopefully I can report a positive opk soon!

  14. Espion

    pomegranate / 3577 posts

    @Radish: I'm hoping I get a positive tomorrow. I'm wearing lacy undies tonight just in case, though!

  15. Radish

    So I think I just had what I assume is ovulation spotting. I have only ever noticed it once before years ago, so it isn't common for me. Hoping it is a good sign.

    ETA: we haven't BD for almost 48 hours, so I don't think it is from irritation or anything.

    @MrsMccarthy: I'm a few days late with this but just reading through the thread now : ) So I just did cycle monitoring with blood tests and ultrasounds so I know for sure when I ovulated. I had CM two days before the LH surge so it's totally possible (according to what my doctors told me) that you could get the two things at different times. I did the BD when they told me to (day 1 & 2 of LH spike) but next month I will also do it when I see CM just to stop the nagging in my head, lol.

    honeydew / 7295 posts

    @travelgirl1: thank you! We dtd tonight just in case. I sometimes wish i had the energy to go every day or every other day for a full cycle after AF but I usually don't. I may have to try a cycle like that in a month or two if we still aren't KU.

    @MrsMccarthy: Gah that would DRAIN me now that I have one. I just don't have the energy sometimes! Dh swears we dtd almost every day when we were trying for dd... I know I was out of town a few days that month but I honestly can't remember. Sadly I hope it doesn't come to that now. Maybe tmi but since dh is on nights we can only see each other alone in the mornings before dd is awake and at nap time but that's dh's middle of the night. (Well on his work days at least.)

    @keepcalmcarrie: Congrats!!!

    I had a big temp drop today at 8 DPO so I think I am out. I guess it always could be an implantation dip, but I don't really think do. We'll see what tomorrow's temp is.

  20. NerdBee

    @angelachase: is your temp drop above or below the cover line? If above then you are still ok if below then probably not. Is 8 days the norm for your luteal phase? When I used to temp I would get AF within about 12 hours of my temp drop.

  21. angelachase

    apricot / 306 posts

    @NerdBee: Oh, I didn't know that! I am still a total novice at charting. My temp dropped from holding steady at 98.2 to 97.7, but that's still above the cover line. I'm not expecting AF until the middle of next week and my cycles are pretty predictable.

  22. NerdBee

    clementine / 828 posts

    @angelachase: ooh! In that case, you're definitely still in the running. Could be implantation dip! Fx!

    @googly-eyes: girl that is not tmi compared some other things LOL!!

    add me to the camp of, "too exhausted" - once LO is in bed, I just wanna relax and sleep! haha! seems to be the same for DH. he opted for a movie last night over sex. womp womp.

    due to O today according to my tracker app (not charting, temping, OPKing this cycle ) so we will see!

    I'm finding myself pretty laid back...for now. it's only month 1, but I waffle between excitement for #2 and cold feet, so for now I'm happy with either result - a or !

    @MrsMccarthy: Thanks, hon! This is so tough! I am really trying to focus on all the good things I have in my life and not get so sucked into TTC, ya know? I know I will get pregnant and I can either torture myself over it or have a ttc plan and still enjoy life. Heck, I have only been married since November!
    Anyway, wishing you the best!

    @simplyfelicity: Thanks!

    I'm still waiting. I think I've got my dates wrong. I was using my original "on-the-Mirena" cycle dates, which had been shorter than normal, but I guess I should use a more standard 28-day cycle (like I was pre-Mirena)? If so, I guess my POAS day is tomorrow? I'm just going to wait a few days after it though -- I've gone through too many tests already. Plus, if my POAS is later, my O day was later than I thought, so we probably missed it. Gah! So confusing. Even if it's not my month, I'll be glad to have a better idea of things next cycle!

    ladies!

    Ugh, I'm so confused. My opk today was no darker than the two I took yesterday and I'm still having some spotting mixed with EWCM that started last night. Guess we are just going to cover all bases this cycle.

  28. MrsMccarthy

    honeydew / 7295 posts

    @googly-eyes: i hear you! last night we were both SOOOO lazy. We got it done but we were not at all in the mood and i think we mostly just did it to cover our bases even though the plan was not to if we were not in the mood.

    Still just a high on my monitor. I think it's just screwy from a month off. I am going on other factors and just gonna extend the window.

    @Radish: I feel ya! no peak on my monitor and no OPKs so we are both ladies in waiting. Ugh. SNORE! just wanna be in the TWW already!

  29. Tidybee

    nectarine / 2834 posts

    @MrsMccarthy: We did so many months of EOD or every day and no luck. The two times I got pregnant, we dtd maybe twice during O time.

  30. mfa_lady

    pomegranate / 3921 posts

    @Tidybee: @MrsMccarthy: Same. The last couple of months we DTD sooooo much, and this month, we only hit O-1 and O. I know those are really good days, but still. It was only 2!

  31. Radish

    nectarine / 2079 posts

    @MrsMccarthy: hopefully tomorrow brings us some peak/positives. May the 4th be with us.

  32. MrsMccarthy

    honeydew / 7295 posts

    @Tidybee: @mfa_lady: yeah we only did once on O day with my son. I feel like its so hard for me to pinpoint my ovulation lately though. Maybe i need to try again to temp so i feel more confident.

    @Radish: hahah yeah! i hope so!

  33. Espion

    pomegranate / 3577 posts

    @Radish: Do you have an idea when you are supposed to O? I think just using rough calculations based on my cycle length, I'm supposed to on Sunday. Haven't OPK'd yet today though...I'm thinking it will still be blank.

    Omg! I fell off this thread because I got my smiley opk at a time when we couldn't BD until almost a week after it, and before that we only BDed like 5 days earlier so I just assumed I was out this month? But I just POAS because I'm obsessed and got this. How is this possible!!!! Freaking out!

    @Espion: I am on CD18 right now.. last month I ovulated on CD16 and the month before CD19. My cycles vary a lot, so unless I missed my surge (which is unlikely) I should by CD21 at the latest. My OPKs have had a consistent half dark test line for 4 or so days.
