@anyajenkins: In my opinion, it looks like you O'd on Tues the 18th! Your spiky pre-O temps are throwing FF off. Mathematically, your average temp over first 14 days is 97.9. After day 14, avg temp is over 98.2. I say discard a couple of those higher pre-O temps and see what FF does with that!

@LIL BEAN: thanks so much for your input. I tried discarding those temps and it didn't change anything. probably because I didn't get the positive opk until Thurs, blerg
@winniebee: well yeah that's kind of the point!

@anyajenkins: But I have seen very few people able to accomplish the every day thing. Good for you!

@MrsMccarthy: You deserve it for weaning efforts
@anyajenkins: FF might confirm O for you tomorrow after 3 consistent temp rise (it did that for me after someone told me the 'rule'). Fx for you and you are covering your bases so you'll be fine! I know it's very annoying tho when you don't see that solid red crosshair!!

@mrsmccarthy: Great article about wonder foods! Thanks for sharing!!
So excited for all you ladies in your 2ww!! It seems like this cycle the wait leading up to O is going by so s l o w l y for me! Ugh. Maybe I'm just way too excited to get inseminated by my doctor
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@winniebee: Mexico! I'm gonna test during vacation too... I had told myself not too but I also don't want to keep thinking about it if I can just test and get it over with!

@Kelli_Deluxe: I'm cracking up at your doctor comment!
@snowjewelz: Ooh fun! I think you should test on vacation. Otherwise you'll just be wondering the whole time!
nectarine / 2784 posts
@snowjewelz: hey you were right! I got crosshairs today.. However I think I may have O'd a day or two later than FF says. Oh well, I think the BD timing works out either way so I'll take it! I think I'll split the difference and still poas 4/5
Vaca sounds wonderful.. hope you get a BFP as the cherry on top!

Funny story: I usually wake up at 6:30 and on weekends I'll go back to sleep after taking my temp for a little bit. So this morning I wake up, temp, look at it and go "ugh, why??" (It wasn't as high as I wanted), then roll over and go back to sleep. Hours later, the alarm goes off and the clock says 6:30! I go "wtf??" My husband says "yeah you woke up at 4am and took your temperature" "what! Why didn't you say something?" "I don't know, I figured you were doing it for a reason." Haha! NO idea why I randomly woke up and thought it was morning. It felt like a great bonus when my 2nd temp, at the correct time, was higher like I was hoping

@snowjewelz: jealous! Have fun.
@anyajenkins: hahah that's funny. Awesome about crosshairs.
honeydew / 7295 posts
@Kelli_Deluxe: no problem. I would be excited too. I hope this does the trick for you. I feel like April will be very plentiful.
@Adira how is your cycle going post weaning? How many times is Xander nursing a day now?
cherry / 166 posts
Uuuugh! FF changed its mind when I added this morning's temp. Instead of being 7 dpo, it says I'm only 3dpo!! So my TWW has been extended 4 days.
At least it's good we kept on BDing after the old O day!
@snowjewelz: my new POAS date is April 5. Le sigh...
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@anyajenkins: hahaha your husband must have been like wow she is really crazy waking up at 4am just to take her temp lol. I'm glad you got the temp you want! My post O temps have been so weird too that I have no idea what to make of them!

@dc yoga bee: thanks!
@winniebee: thanks - good to see you too!
@MrsMccarthy: no, we started weaning and then L had stomach bugs 3 separate times this month, so we stopped trying, and are just now picking it back up. I am following along on your night weaning journey - good luck. L is nursing in the am, before bed, and 2 night wake ups.

Can't believe we're coming into the last week of March.. good luck to all the TTW'ers and first week of April POAS'ers!
DH has made the *right* decision to not go away with his buddies next weekend. I reminded him that it will be FULL of BDing... that made him feel better about saying no. I think I'll suggest a weekend getaway with just the two of us.

@MrsHansen82: Haha my husband asked if it counted as a threesome since he helped the doctor by holding the plunger last time! Men!!
@MrsMccarthy: Thank you!! And I agree; there are going to be a lottttt of positives on this board soon, I just know it!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@HellOnHeels: Nice! Fx for you esp now that you can take advantage of perfect timing!
honeydew / 7295 posts
@dagret: oh poor little sweetie! That's not a lot of nursing so you might be fine. Have you been watching you cycles at all? Late ovulation and short luteal phase are classic signs of high prolactin. If you aren't noticing any of that then you may not even need to wean to get pregnant. Vitex and B6 also help. You may know a of this already though after TTC for a while. I hope you get a surprise this month. I've seen it happen.

@MrsMccarthy: Xander's down to nursing once a day, but I'm still pumping. Though this week, I'm down to only pumping once a day (so nursing once and pumping once) and then next week, I should only be nursing.
I've been taking OPKs and today (CD 18), I FINALLY got a positive!!!! Which means I'm hopefully going to ovulate so much sooner than the last couple cycles!! BUT Hubs just turned me down for getting our BD on... so not sure this cycle is going to work out. I'm hoping he changes his mind and will be up for it later...

@HellOnHeels: sounds like a great idea!
@Adira: phew!
honeydew / 7295 posts
@Adira: good hubby! And that's great news about the positive OPK! It sound to me like your body is regulating nicely for an April BFP!!!
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
I had to do the oh so romantic thing of telling my husband that this is the week we need to get busy. We are almost 34, been together almost 13 years, have a toddler and DH works crazy hrs. I'm tired. My excuses for why spontaneous week night sex just doesn't happen on it's own. Sigh.

@winniebee: so not fun but I find that we both usually enjoy ourselves more often than not once we get things underway. Good baby making!!!
You guys I am not a hugely spiritual person but I plan on praying this month too. I figure it can't hurt. I still feel really good about our chances. I hope we have a BFP explosion this month.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@MrsMccarthy: I hope so!!! Assuming this OPK is correct and I really do ovulate in the next couple days, it will definitely be getting back on track! Although my temps have been ALL OVER THE PLACE, so I'm not sure I'll be able to tell if I ovulated or not. Stupid body!
And re: praying - I actually did that the cycle I got my BFP last time. I was actually thinking of doing it again, but haven't started yet!
persimmon / 1096 posts
@MrsMccarthy: @Adira: I said a prayer last night too.
We only BD'd twice during the week I think I O'd, so I'm not feeling great about our chances. But those two times were O-1 and O day, so at least hopefully the timing was good! If this isn't our cycle, I think I'll try OPK's next month or temping or something. How is everyone else feeling?
