@littlek: yeah didn't think so. I will keep testing. See if they get darker again...

@cyndistar3: I don't think that it has too much of an effect BUT last cycle I worked out in a class and I started my period on CD 19. Super weird.

@septca: aww I feel so awful that you think your timing would make me cringe! We didn't even hit O or O+ last month. Nothing makes me cringe and if anything I was humbled by the responses I got to my timing post. I resized how naive I was because its so hard even for me to get my timing rift. I mean we have more in our lives than just TTC. Big hug! Oh and so many charts on FF get pregnant on O-3 or O-2. I love analyzing the pregnancy charts on there because its so clear that there are so many scenarios that can end up pregnant. Good luck.
I'm in nYC with my son. Having watery CM and praying that we will make our flight on time Monday and I won't O till Monday or Tuesday so I get a shot at BD this month. Otherwise we will miss O. I'm CD 14 today and I usually O on CD 16-20 so here's hoping! I'm nursing more as stressed so maybe that will delay things.
Good luck ladies. Much love and baby dust to you all.

Okay bees, i need some help. I initially ddn't want to join a board for this month because i get a bit depressed with the BFNs...
My cycle is usually 28 days but AF showed up on day 30 last month (the month after my CP). First day of AF was on 1/24 which would put my fertile week from 2/4 - 2/9 if i base it on a 28 day cycle. I started to notice "fertile" CM from 2/3. Would that sound right? I didn't use OPKs this time but just BD EOD until 2/6....ugh, don't really want to continue. i know, that sounds awful of me.

@Freckles: It is a real possibility. If you BD during EWCM then that sperm should survive the longest if you do end up ovulating later.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@Freckles: it's ok. By mid cycle I have a hard time continuing with BD EOD or even every 3 days!

@Radish: I just felt like the timing of (possible) O seemed early. I am pretty sure we're in post-O based on CM so i'm hoping we can just call it a day and not stress out until it's POAS time!
@snowjewelz: BD EOD during weekdays when your toddler goes to bed at 9pm is not fun at all!
nectarine / 2079 posts
@Freckles: I've never ovulated early, but it is certainly a possibility. You can ovulate a couple days after your EWCM dries up as well.

@theotherstark @snowjewelz @chicalgobee: delayed response, but I'm so excited to be on the same page/ cycle as you ladies. I thought most of the people on this board were farther along in their journey. I have a hard time keeping up with everyone's convos.
Anyway, I'm CD 9 right now; gearing up for my fertile period. I think this month I'm going to try to space out BDing because last month we did it literally every day starting 5 days before O. By the end it was getting very tiring and so not romantic...
Long post, but I have been watching some TTC video blogs and was actually considering starting one. Anyone watch them or even do your own? I was thinking about recording some thoughts just for myself to remember the whole process.
@freckles: sounds like you timed things perfectly! Good luck!
@marfi @radish @hellocupcake: Good luck today!!

@Mrs.Panda: @Radish: thanks guys I'm just trying to prepare myself for all possible outcomes don't want to get all test happy if my period is just delayed lol.

@cyndistar3: I'm trying to as well, but I really think I am KU. I'm going to be very confused by these symptoms (that are not normal AF) if I'm not.
There is no way I would get a positive today with when I think I ovulated, but I tried anyways in case I miscalculated ovulation. Hoping to hold out again until Tuesday.

@Radish: my issue is that my prengancy symptoms have become similar to my pms.... though this time it seems more distinct. So I won't really be surprised either way... its so unfair.
nectarine / 2079 posts
@cyndistar3: Yeah, I'm still slightly worried they are just something unrelated, but I swear this is exactly how I felt last time.

@Radish: well I wish you luck and I hope that you can get your bfp. How old is your lo?

@dc yoga bee: I am not 100%, but 8dpo at the most. It is so annoying because this is CD28, so if I had a normal cycle I would be able to test. I had cramping the last two days, so if that was implantation, then hopefully something will start to show up Tuesday.

@Radish: G.L.!! Hoping this is it for you!! @d.c.yogabee You, too!!

@ChiCalGoBee: Thanks!
My lazy Sunday included trying out a new church I did not like, making homemade nachos with the hubs, and feeling bored. Still no symptoms, and I know I said I was waiting until Valentines day, yet I found myself peeing in a cup anyways Negative of course, it's only 7dpo, but I got it out of my system, and no testing until Friday! I'm certain I'm out, I haven't even had so much as a twinge! I scored some jeans on clearance from gap.com as a consolation prize however!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@dc yoga bee: mmmm nachos! It's ok, I think if testing will hold you over then just do it! I felt nauseous for a hot second this morning and I got hopeful lol. Meanwhile I'm not even sure if I ovulated

Hey there ladies. I have a milky cm. would that be called watery? I feel like I ask this every month haha.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@MrsMccarthy: milky in color or texture? I think milky CM is usually creamy and watery CM is clear?
nectarine / 2079 posts
@dc yoga bee: There is a good chance I am actually 7 dpo, the impatient side of me really just wants it to be 8 Experts say there shouldn't be symptoms this early, so it is actually a good thing not to have any and I wouldn't count yourself out because of just that. Although, I don't know what that says about me.

@MrsMccarthy: cm confuses me so much! It seems like it should be so cut and dry, but in practice I always question it.
@dc yoga bee: good luck!!!

@lady hibiscus: can you please add me to the 28th? I think I should be safe to test then. Should only be 1 day early. I feel so left out not getting to test this month.
nectarine / 2358 posts
@dc yoga bee: I'm one step behind you at 6 DPO! I am of course symptom spotting and experienced some mild cramping yesterday and today but that could just be gas lol. No spotting, my boobs are way less sensitive and no nausea. Sad.
ETA have you guys seen the 4moms origami stroller? Omg so crazy!

Ugh, I'm such a brat. Hubs and I had sex last night, but he didn't finish and I'm all like "What was the point of that????" I feel like it was such a waste of time, even though it WAS fun. I just can't have fun during sex anymore if it doesn't actually result in any potential BFPs! Boooo.

this is the first time i've used wondfo pregnancy test strips and i've been getting negatives since last week so i thought i was out this cycle...
this morning i decided to run to CVS to get a clear blue digital just to test one more time (since AF still hadn't arrived)...and i was surprised to see a very strong !!
i'm confused as to why my wondfo didn't detect anything...
regardless, i'm still in shock (in a good way since we've been TTC)..
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@butterbean: wow, that's awesome!!! congrats!!!
@Adira: aww I know how you feel! but just remember it was FUN and you do need that!
Ugh, so I still don't really know when I O'd, I am supposed to be in TWW already (more like OWW now). I'm symptom spotting & also seeing whether my dog's acting weird around me

@butterbean: congratulations!!!!
What dpo are you? maybe you had a bad batch of wondfos?
How exciting!
apricot / 349 posts
@snowjewelz: thanks! for what it's worth, i don't really know when I O'd either...
@eabae: i'm not sure when I O'ed...i was also using the wondfo ovulation test strips but i never got a strong positive so we BD eod during the time i *thought* i would O'ed...but i didn't have EWCM...i may have O'ed late because a week later I had EWCM so we BD on that day...the entire process (tracking when you are fertile) was driving me bonkers...*sigh*
