Hellobee Boards

@Crystal: I'd wait till tomorrow.

@Crystal: I had a EWCM on a Monday and believe that I ovulated on Wednesday.

@Crystal: Thank you! I am saying I will POAS on the 28th, but I probably won't make it that long! I'll probably check at the end of the week.

Good luck to you as well! I get EWCM for 2-3 days before a positive OPK. If I were you, I'd wait until tomorrow. You should have some guys in there waiting now in case you O between now and then. So if you wait until tomorrow, you should be covered the whole time if an egg shows up!

@Crystal: Yes! Absolutely BD tonight! Opks only give you a short window. Good CM keeps sperm alive! Go girl and good luck

@Mrs. Chickadee: fx this is your cycle! I'm sure you will be a mama, hopefully sooner than later!
@crystal: I'd probably try again tonight unless there is some concern about your DH sperm. The first cycle we got KU we BD every day and then o+1.

I know I asked this once before but I can't remember the answer. I'm having a mix of creamy CM with tiny patches of clear, not very stretchy egg white. How would you mark this down on FF? I definitely have more creamy than I do EW

@bushelandapeck: Thank you!!! And I love your name by the way! My grandmother used to sing that song to me

@Crystal: Thanks for the support. It's true - it will happen one day. I know I have A LOT of options left if the good old fashioned route doesn't work out on it's own. I haven't even begun any treatments yet, so I have faith that something out there will work! Good luck with the BD timing this month I'll keep my fingers crossed that this cycle is the one for you!

@MrsMccarthy: Since it's mostly creamy and not very stretchy, I think I'd go with "creamy". I almost always have a creamy EW mix because the EW stays high up around my cervix and the rest is more creamy (sorry if TMI!). SO as long as I have some EW around my cervix, I mark it as EW. It is always really stretchy though and it doesn't sound like you have that. I'd wait and check later today and tomorrow...it might be almost there!

@MrsMccarthy: Oh hey! I'm having that same CM! It's gross to say that we are CM buddies, huh? Yeah... So pretend I didn't say that. How are you feeling otherwise?

@littlek: thanks. I'm marking it as creamy!

@Mrs. Chickadee: thank you. no such thing as tmi on here! I'm 2DPO so I'm not expecting to be fertile right now. We shall see.

@HolisticMama: dang it! I hope you can convince your husband to go for it. A work on OPKs though: you can sometimes have more than one positive. You could be pregnant, could be an annovilatory cycle, there are many possibilities. Wouldn't hurt to BD though especially if you are in the mood!! I hope he comes around. Oh and no worries, I am hard to gross out!

I feel tired but good today. My nose is running a bit. I got very congested during my pre BFP weeks and a bad sinus infection but that could have easily been coincidental.

@MrsMccarthy: I'm on my phone posting for the first time, but my fingers are crossed for you. And my toes. Do you think you will wait to test? Or test a bit early?

I hope OPKs don't become my nemisis. Lol. It's all in good fun for me.

@HolisticMama: I am 2DPO now so perhaps in 9 or 10 days I wi start but that's pretty close to my planned test date already. My fingers are crossed for you too my dear!!!

@Mrs. Chickadee: I can totally relate to the idea that it would be easier if I knew for sure I would be pregnant one day. Knowing when it was going to be would be even better. If someone could just say "hey, you'll be pregnant in May" I would be great with that. I was having a mini meltdown last week and a friend was shocked and said she was surprised I was so stressed since I am normally a very patient person and I basically told her the same thing you said. I am so worried that there is something wrong with my reproductive parts that I am probably creating a self fulfilling prophecy by way of stress.

@Cole: I'm pretty fearful of self-fulfilling prophecies. I think that the mind, spirit and energy are so powerful. Sometimes the TTC journey seems to trying. I wish I could promise everyone that they were going to get pregnant.

@Snowdrop: 6 months is hard too! That's sort of when I felt like "okay, this isn't going to be easy". Now I feel like I'm on the downslide to a year and I'm just ready to see if there's anything actually wrong. Thanks for the hugs - right back at you! I hope you get a BFP soon

@Cole: I worry about the same thing! I don't feel stressed but I do feel pessimistic. I have this weird fear that I will somehow jinx myself by thinking I'm not pregnant! I keep reminding myself that I spent the first four cycles TTC absolutely convinced that I was pregnant and it didn't make it so. It's either going to happen or it's not. I'm just going to keep doing all the same things and hope for the best...but be paranoid about the worst sorry to hear about your meltdown - I've been there! Even if you're normally calm and patient, this is such a different experience than anything else. Hang in there and feel free to vent!

I love that!!!! I am sending positive vibes too! Praying we ALL get our bfp's this month!! A Hellobee baby boom!!!!!

I'm off work until Thursday night! Wooohoooo! Progesterone level check for Thursday, but that's all so far! How about you??

I've lusted after an ovacue, but they are so expensive.

I wonder how it compares to the other fertility monitors.
I have especially been thinking about it today, because my symptoms today make me go:

@fotolori1: When do they like checking your progesterone? CD23?
Why do you have it checked?
I think it's interesting that my acupuncturist also likes seeing me on CD23.

@holisticmama: you are hilarious! I'm the same way!!! I am 6 dpo, I have had several stabbing pains on my left side for the last 3 days. Less today, but still there, occasional AF cramps and lots of CM. Plus my cervix is still HSO. All of which are new for me. Makes you hopeful,but I am so use to BFN's that I won't let myself be optimistic. What symptoms have you had today???

@fotolori1: Well- the only thing that makes me feel weird is that I was messing around with OPKs again today. (I'm trying to figure out how they work for me). I thought I ovulated on the 15th and my OPKs kept getting progressively lighter, but today the OPK looked pretty dark, not positive- but definitely darker then what I have been seeing the last few days. Weird. I also am having CM, which is weird for me because usually I'm bone dry after O. Sore boobs.
And I'm just thirsty. Oh, and a wee bit emotional. I nearly cried today watching a little boy be so very sweet today with his brother at the chiropractors.

I feel good and hopeful. And I have plans for a cleanse if I see a BFN this month.
