@WinterBee: nope no spotting. Just cramps. But my periods been wack the last two also so I'm hoping for the best but who knows what this month may bring. Have a nice trip & good luck to you !!
-
@WinterBee: eek! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!! How are you feeling this cycle? Knocked up?!? Have fun on your trip and I can't wait to hear once you get back!
-
I jumped in too soon thinking that I was on CD1 last week but I guess it was just some implantation bleeding. POAS on 08.02 and it's a BFP!
Both DH and I are a little bit in shock because it was our first month trying but hoping for a sticky baby #2.

@Mrs Spoon: yay! Congrats!!!

@Mrs Spoon: Congrats!

@MrsDragon and @MrsSpoon - congratulations!! It's looking like April is a good month for babies
Also thanks to everyone who welcomed me here, looking forward to seeing everyone get BFPs! As I expected, I couldn't wait to test.. And got my own BFP! I don't think it's sunk in yet but I'm so excited - now just hoping it sticks!
-
@rinna9: Hooray! Congrats! This board is starting off great!
-
@TrailRunner: I feel normal... same as every month. I'm cramping right now, have been for a few days but I dont think that means anything.
With my birthday and some family events there has been a lot of drinking going on which I'm not used to so that could have me feeling weird too.
I would be very surprised if I got a BFP this month, but it would be very welcomed! -
@Mrs Spoon: congrats!!!
@rinna9:
-
@rinna9: yay!!! CONGRATS!!!!
Wow! August is on a
roll so far!!!! So Exciting!!!
-
@rinna9: yay!
-
@rinna9: congrats!!
What a great start to our month- exciting!!
-
Last two periods have been wacky. Last one was short at 22 days and before that was late at 33. My average use to be 28. So when should I consider myself late this time?! One period tracker says I'm late now and the other says I have 5 days. What do y'all think?
-
@jh524: Hard to tell, I like to default to my 'average' cycle length. I would test in a few days if AF doesn't show up.
Goodluck!! -
@Mrs Spoon: congrats!!!!!
-
@rinna9: congrats!!!!
-
Well my AF that came 4 days early was super heavy and only last 2 days before tapering off to spotting and then nothing on day 4. Now one app says I should ovulate between 10-13 and the other says 12-16. I'm going to start trying to track my temp this cycle. My CM I monitor after wiping. Anything else I need to know about temp and CM tracking? I tried ovu test strips but I never caught my happy face. I guess I could be more consistent with that too? Thanks in advance for the help everyone!!
*Update- after running 6 miles this morning, AF is back. Oh the joys of being a woman.. Good grief!
-
Thanks everyone!
@jstalter I found temping to be the most helpful thing. My first cycle off of birth control looked textbook, so no issues there. But then my second cycle (this one) I ovulated really late, like CD24 late. If I hadn't been temping I might decreased the frequency of BD and missed ovulation altogether!
-
@WinterBee: hmm if I average it, it tells me I'm late and if I default it says I have 5 days to late.
Maybe I'll start temping like @rinna9: Seems like a great way to see when you ovulate. I only used Opks once and it just wasn't for me.
@jstalter: good luck!! -
@rinna9: thank you!!! I think that's what is happening to me.. Missing ovulation entirely. Going to try temping this month with the Fertility Friend app. Did you use a reg thermometer or buy a special one? Thank you so much!
-
@jh524: good luck to you too!! Let me know how the temping works for you! Going to go try and learn a little more about it.
-
@jstalter I just used a regular thermometer I'd had forever. If you're temping in Celsius I think it needs to be a thermometer that can measure up to 2 decimal places, but for farenheit you can see the temperature spike post-ovulation with just 1 decimal place. I used fertility friend because it has great science behind it, but I loved the Kindara chart and so I used that one as well. They also have a great community that can help interpret anything going on with your chart!
-
@rinna9: Congrats! August is looking great so far!
-
@jstalter: me too. Well I've gotten the bug to POAS so went and bought my frer's today!!! Agh I'm so tempted!!
I mean, if it says 6 days sooner than your missed period than according to frer I should get a early response. Lol. Anyone else excited to POAS??!! -
Congrats to the BFP's!
AFM: CD32 here. Not sure if I should go ahead and test tomorrow or wait a week. 1st cycle off BC was 42 days. 2nd was 32. Does anyone else have cycles that go back and forth? I don't know what to expect and I don't want to 'waste' another test...
-
@JennyLayneAZ: I'm in the same spot as you. I typically have a 31 day cycle, bit they've been 32 days and 37 days the last 2 months. My app says AF tomorrow (hopefully not as I'm going camping, but I'm def cramping now, ugh).
If I were you I would wait (I am too), saves the test money and won't change the result.
Good luck! -
@JennyLayneAZ: same here, my cycles use to be 28 days but the last two were weird. Not sue what to expect this time. Good luck to you though!!!
@WinterBee: I'm tempted to test but trying to wait. I has baaaad cramps in the middle of the night and they hurt enough to wake me up. Still feeling cramps today. Is cramping a good sign? -
@jstalter: sorry about AF
I would def temp. I use a special thermometer I got off amazon. Since I wake up super early for work some days and you when to temp at the same time I got one that stores it so I don't have to use my brain on mornings I temp and go back to sleep. Since you keep missing your smile on the OPKs I would get strips that show your progression up to O so you have a better idea. Good luck! I learned a lot the past couple of months so if you have any questions let me know!
-
@Mrs Spoon: @rinna9: congrats!
@WinterBee: I'm bummed you are having AF symptoms. Keep me updated.

Hi! First time popping in on this thread.
-
Cycle Day: 29
TTC Cycle #: lost count
Ovulation: 7/24
POAS dates: 8/3
8/7
Baby #: 1st
Your plan this month: Technically my plan was for July; we used Advanced OPK and BD once I had a peak response, which was the day before I ovulated (confirmed by OPK). I tested 2 days before my period was due (not pregnant) and then again two days after I was officially "late."
For Fun: Spa day tomorrow! -
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: what?! Congrats !!!
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Congrats !!!!
1st baby too yaya!!!!!

I am new to posting on the site, but lurk a lot! FI and I are on our first cycle TTC! I have 2 children from a past realationship, but this will be FIs first
I had a positive OPK on the evening of CD 12, we BD CD13 and 14. I have a 28 day cycle, so hopefully we caught O! FI works away at times, so it makes timing hard!
I am 6dpo, noting all my possible symptoms! I will POAS maybe 12dpo? August 12 if I can hold out!!!!

@MrsLilybugg: @jh524: Thanks!
