@Kaohinani: did you get some "brown chicken brown cow" time in?
-
Lol, y'all are hysterical
I've got day 2 of a positive OPK so I'll be DTD probably tonight and tomorrow again. I have had such ridiculous cramping too. It feels too generalized to say for sure it's ovulation cramps, and also it's been going on a few days now. I'm not sure what is up.
-
@Sams Mom: Yes, ma'am. 4x brown chicken-brown cow (since 15:30-ish). I am walking funny atm.
No joke. Hoping we hit it enough to make this cycle worth it. DH wants to try again before work tomorrow, but IDK ....
@JennyPenny: Time to BD! πΊ
@Paranundrum: @FuzzyPeaches: Thanks!
-
@Kaohinani: dear Lord baby Jesus. I'm tired just thinking of trying to do it 4x in like 5 hours. Go you!
-
@Sams Mom: I can't take all the credit ... it was a joint effort.
-
@Kaohinani: I was about to say! It's past 2200 and you're up on HB!?
-
@Kaohinani: thank god for preseed is all I have to say
-
@Sams Mom: I know, seriously, it is rare that I'm up past 2100, never mind 2230!
-
@yellowbeach: No, joke! π€£ Honestly, after tonight, I'd kiss Dr. Joanna Ellington (creator of Preseed - don't ask how I remembered her name. π€¦ββοΈ

Got my (dotted) crosshairs today!
According to FF, I ovulated on CD9. Today is CD12.
So. NOT. Cool.
Had been hopeful DH and I could catch the egg, but with a CD9 ovulation, it is pretty doubtful. π€¦ββοΈ I have also had the most anemic "rise" where I kinda question if I even ovulated.
When I change the setting to "FAM" or "Research," I lose my crosshairs altogether as the "Advanced" and "OPK" settings are taking into consideration my 48+ hours of positive OPKs. π€¦ββοΈ
@Sams mom: I remember you had a couple cycles like this but, for the life of me, I can not remember if you OVed later in the cycle or if they were anovulatory. I do remember your OV date moved 2x in a month one cycle and another seemed anovulatory but ended up just being wonky. If you can find those charts, I'd like to compare for study as FF does not have a selection for charts with inconsistent crosshairs. TIA.
-
@Kaohinani: I think temp shift will actually start CD 11 depending on what TD does with your next couple temps.
Attached are a couple weird ones for me.
-
@Sams Mom: Thank you!
I do remember your February cycle as I was stimming at the time and had over-stimmed about the same time you were worried about not ovulating. We discussed changing your setting from ADV to another. Once you changed it, "bam," crosshairs appeared. Funny that I never get 2 or more full days of positive OPKs (with exception to this cycle) but it appears you get them more frequently. Interesting. Thanks again for humoring me in responding.
-
@Kaohinani: I am impressed!!!!
-
@LAZB: With what?
In any case, thank you. -
@Kaohinani: so many bd sessions!
-
@LAZB: Oh, okay.
-
@Kaohinani: I wish I had that kind of drive!
Afm, my cycle is all out of whack. I was 5 days late last month and looks like 8 days early this month. So crazy!
-
@LAZB: I'm sorry to read that. If is so frustrating when cycles shift and, especially when AF comes too early [or too late]! With so much uncertainty with you cycle, when do you go in for your IVF transfer? Also, how many will you be transferring.
-
@Kaohinani: I will start bcp on cd3 to regulate my cycle, not sure how long Iβll take them, maybe 2 weeks? Iβll definitely be pushing back poas to September
-
@LAZB: Gotcha. Sounds a bit frustrating.
Well, atleast I will be in good company on the September board when I have my IUI. -
@Kaohinani:
either way it sounds like you gave it a great shot!I need to update my POAS date. Ovia is telling me I can POAS in 7 days, so you better believe I'll be peeing on all the sticks 8/6/19 LOL (I'll probably torture myself and starting testing with cheapies this weekend....)
-
@JennyLayneAZ: Thank you. We gave it our best (and, not to mention, DH wants another "go" tonight
I will change your POAS date immediately. I can't wait to see some HPTs! F'x π€ for a BFP.

LH is SLOWLY fading away.
The more I ponder, the more that part of me is hoping to get a secondary surge soon while the other part is kinda hoping this is a quick anovulatory cycle and I can move on to my 1 chance at IUI.
#TTCisNoJoke. #FrustratingAtBest
#CantAGirlGetaBREAKinHerTTCefforts?!?!? -
@Kaohinani: I mean - 4x in one night you are my hero girl!
Sooooo my monthly poas drama begins
-
@fuzzypeaches: Ummm.... photo my dear?
-
@yellowbeach: I hesitated bc I feel crazy lol. Not sure it will show up in photos but I think itβs easier to see on the cheapie
-
@fuzzypeaches: I "think" I MAY see something on the photo of the IC. The FRER is a bit decisive as I can not tell if there may color or if it is an indent. I SO hope that it IS a true BFP!
-
@Kaohinani: I hope so. I wish I could wait longer as to not torture myself. Thankfully im On vacation starting tomorrow so hopefully that will help distract me - especially if it ends up being another chemical or negative.
-
@fuzzypeaches: Definitely relax and enjoy your vacation! It is easier said than done but try not to stress over a maybe BFP since the stress won't get you anything but overly anxious and frustrated (* I know this firsthand
-
CD 13/3 dpo.
My TD gave me a 98.55 temp! I NOW have crosshairs for a CD 10 ovulation. By DTD on CDs 11 and 12, I have a 0-11% odds of getting pregnant (with optimal uterine conditions). Honestly, I feel closer to the 0% odds BUT will keep forever hopeful that it potentially "could" happen. This cycle, thus far, has been an absolute "sh!t show." Bring on the IUI!
-
@Kaohinani: Whoah thatβs certainly an interesting turn of events! π€
-
@fuzzypeaches: I think I see something on the FRER. Iβve got everything crossed for you
@Kaohinani: well, at least thereβs some chance right? Though I think thatβd stress me out more maybe. I hope trying IUI will help reduce the frustration
I got a negative OPK last night and a temp rise this morning so Iβm going to go ahead and call myself 1dpo! I leave tomorrow for a week in Portugal and Iβm not gonna take any tests with me
-
@yellowbeach: Yeah, no kidding!
@JennyPenny: It is a bit stressful, but to be honest, having to TTC for 3-1/2 years is pretty stressful within itself. I think I survive in perpetual "freak out mode" (* constant high stress over family, work, finances, & TTC.)
@FuzzyPeaches: I hope you are having a great 1st day of vacation!
-
Fingers crossed for you, @fuzzypeaches! And have a great trip. That first test looks promising--please let us know know how it goes.
-
Thanks guys. I tested again this am and it looks the same which I think means they were negative
Iβll be definitely checking in to see some poas tests though
-
@Kaohinani: @yellowbeach: ok, so I had light red flow overnight, through my underwear but not my shorts. Pink when I wiped, but no cramping or clots. Called my doctor's office and since they couldn't pinpoint the trigger (sex, straining, physical exertion) they messaged me doctor. Because you know, I have access to my chart I saw that he said if I'm not concerned, to have me continue monitoring it, if I am concerned I can come in for an ultrasound.
I don't know if I'm concerned, and so I don't how what to say when they call
-
@Sams Mom: if it was me I would do an ultrasound as I know I would drive myself insane otherwise
-
@fuzzypeaches: I didn't bleed at all with my son so I am concerned, but no clots and no cramps logically said it should be fine. I can't stop a miscarriage or an SCH or whatever... I don't know
-
@Sams Mom: Ok, mama π€°, while you know breakthrough bleeds during early pregnancy are common place (due to abrasions of the cervix, exhaustion/exertion and dehydration, changes in hormones, and the embryo burrowing deeper in the uterus, etc...), I would consider stopping in for testing and a U/S. π€ My reasoning is that: (1) it would put your mind at ease, (2) it could rule out infection or a subchonic bleed due to blood pooling between the uterus and structural membranes, and (3) it could show a clot in the uterus [by your scar tissue] which is dissipating. All things that are either treatable or do not pose a huge threat to your pregnancy. I, honestly, doubt it is anything serious (especially since you did not have cramping nor were there clots) but since it is availed to you - take them up on having a quick check.
Please update us. P.S. Yellowbeach β± needs to take this one as she is better suited than little ole me since she is in emergency medicine
According to FF, I ovulated on CD9. Today is CD12.
