@mdf106: omg!!!!! Congrats! I want to see a picture too!
-
@Jessiemuller88: How are doing this cycle? I'm hoping really well. (Please, don't tell me your cycle has been "wonky" [*word of the month] as well.
-
@Kaohinani: Iβve been doing well! Ovulated textbook day 14 (confirmed by 21 day Progesterone) and Iβve been having my typical post ovulation symptoms. Tenders bbβs, creamy cm, and so tired! Iβm 8DPO, so trying to not test until Sunday!
-
@Jessiemuller88: I'm glad someone is having a normal cycle! Fingers crossed for you Sunday!
-
@Jessiemuller88: I'm so happy to read that you and your cycle are doing well!
when you test! Hoping to see your BFP!
-
@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: thank you ladies! Iβm wishing the best for you this month as well! Sorry Iβve sort of been MIA. I started teaching again this week and have been WORN OUT! All boys, all day long is so tiring! Lol
My Progesterone was a 22, which my doc said was good ovulation, so Iβm hopeful! TMI, but my nipples are puffy and sore, which is not typical for me, so we will see!
-
@mdf106: ahhhh congratulations!!! so excited and happy for our first
of august!! 
What dpo are you today?
-
@Jessiemuller88: oooh sounds promising!
-
I think I am 13 dpo,but I am not sure. Here is a picture.
-
@mdf106: nice lines!! How exciting! Congrats momma. I think we all needed to see a BFP!
-
@mdf106: that looks great! Not even a squinter!
-
@mdf106: Beautiful! Seeing your BFP makes me so happy!
-
@mdf106: Yay! π€© Congratulations mama! So happy for you!
-
@mdf106: Congratulations!
-
@mdf106: Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!
I'm out though. Started spotting yesterday and temp plummated this morning. I'm glad I didn't have access to the internet when I found out. I would have rained all over the parade...I felt so bad. Doing better now. AF should start sometime later today.
-
@paranundrum:
I'm so sorry to read this, Paranundrum! -
@Kaohinani: I know, right? No slow decline, it was even rising in the past few days until it fell to 97.99 this morning.
Thank you for the sympathy. It would make me feel a lot better if you got your BFP soon!
-
Ladies, how are you all holding up today?
-
@paranundrum: Thank you! My temps rose .23Β° (So I'm at 98.45Β°) today which is exciting; however, most of my "non-symptoms" have disappeared and Pililani decided to favor my husband this morning (* it may be because he is packing for his weekend Reservist training). I'm perplexed with the conflicting data.
-
@paranundrum: I'm sorry.
@kaohinani: When do you plan to test?
We're still recovering from a nice but stressful family trip that had to be cut short. Just so thankful we made it home safe! Our vehicle is in need of repair and hubby plans on getting it taken care of today. That meant canceling plans with an out-of-state friend. But will replan soon.
Woke up with pressure in my head. Feel like I'm gonna leak from both my ears.
On a brighter note I received my packages from the container store so I can work on the boys' room. π€©
-
@MrsDynamiteGal: Wow! That is a lot of news. I am so sorry about your vehicle, plans with your friend, and your headache!
To respond to your inquiry, my POAS date is the 20th, however, whether or not I do test then will be determined by the following:
(1) continued stable or rising temps -- I will test
(2) an increase in symptom/non-symptoms (Lol) -- I will test
(3) if AF comes early -- I shall not test
(4) if my anxiety overcomes me (panic attack) -- I will not test unless #1 or #2 is of greater relevance
(5) If I avoid testing on the 20th AND I pass 18 elevated basal body temps above coverline -- I will HAVE to test.
*** As you can see, I have obsessively thought this through in my quest to test yet NOT SEE a BFN.How has your "wonky" cycle been?
-
@mdf106: Congrats!
-
@mdf106: congrats mama!!!!
-
Iβm away on vacation and just getting over my cold.
AF finally arrived today 5 days late. As disappointed as I am, Iβm happy to move on to the next cycle!
Good luck to everyone still waiting! Iβm rooting for you all!!
-
@magnolia: I'm so sorry to read that AF arrived but glad to hear that your "wonky" cycle is over and you can start afresh next one. I'm also happy that you are beginning to feel well again (and while on vacation! Bonus!
-
I'm still on the uphill, which is good because we can't have anymore sex until after the semen analysis Monday.
-
@Sams Mom: Looking
-
@Sams Mom: Hoping my temps stay up and AF STF away.
Almost all "non-symptoms" are gone but I am ravenous!
-
@Kaohinani: looks like you're on the uphill! Maybe a triphasic!?
-
Popping in to say look at my weird chart. This is the only time I've seen a big jump, a plateau and then another big jump. Alas well have no idea what my temp does from here because I forgot my ava at home and am gone until next Monday
Fingers crossed for you ladies also!!
-
@Sams Mom: Maybe? My last triphasic was a few months back and ended up with nada. Keeping hopeful, here, though. Two other triphasic charts I've had were DD and DS. Could go either way.
-
@MamaBear87: Aw, I would have loved to see what came next, Mama!!! You're keeping me on the edge of my seat here!
Good luck and we miss you! -
@MamaBear87: oooo, different could be good!
@Kaohinani: maybe this triphasic will yield baby #3!
-
@Kaohinani: i lurk sometimes still
@Sams Mom: haha except 1-4 dpo is way too early for my body to even know it's preggo
-
@MamaBear87: hey optimism... Always!
I'm feeling better in general this cycle, so even at 2 dpo I feel good about this one
-
I should be fertile around now, but I've tested negative on LH for the past five days. No cervical mucus. I started spotting last night, which made me think that I might be about to ovulate, but all the tests are negative. We did BD just in case, but now I'm thinking it's probably an anovulatory cycle. I'll let you know of there are any updates.
I had three cycles like this without ovulating six months ago. Then I went on keto and my cycles were like clockwork. I've been off keto for a month and it's back to where I started. I'm going back on the diet. I think I must have really high insulin resistance (my dad died of diabetes at 52, and several people in my family have the disease). I guess it's like alcohol. Some people can drink all the time and not feel any major effects and can stop when they want to. But some people just can't handle alcohol at all.
Case in point, I'm depressed about this situation, so I just ate six cookies in like six minutes. Sugar is how I cope. And like an alcoholic, I can go months without hardly any sugar and never get used to that stateβI'm always tempted by and fantasize about bread, sweets, and potatoes. Even when I was doing great at eating low sugar, what kept me going was looking forward to eating tons of sugar when I hit my goal weight as my reward. But for my cycles and for the inflammation I've had since returning to a standard diet, I think it's going to have to be a lifestule change from here on out. Unless I want to die in my early 50s too. But on a positive note, I've seen what changes to my diet can do, and it's empowering to know that I have a choice.
Best of luck to everyone this (& next) month! 
What dpo are you today?
