@radish- fingers crossed for you!! Sounds like a good sign of things to come!!!!
-
@MrsScottish: Do you normally O around CD13? I know that OPKs tend to vary by day, so it's possible you're still just gearing up to O.
@Crystal: Woohoo - glad there are a few of us just waiting to O!
@Lady Hibiscus: Not a huge deal, but you have me as both a rollover and to POAS on Feb 28. Let's just keep me to POAS Feb 28, since I want to pretend I am still a rolldown for this month. AF is due 3/1 so it's not crazy to think I could POAS 2/28, right??
-
@Lady Hibiscus: I definitely think the answer is "the more, the merrier" in this instance
@radish: I am soooo crossing my fingers for you!!
-
@theotherstark- I think that makes complete sense! I am going to make the change so I don't forget

Now that I am thinking about it, this is the first month I am using wondfo, and not the Clear blue digital with the smile, which I have used the last 3 months. With the CBD I would get the smile, but then when I looked at the sticks themselves inside, the control line and test line were never the same colour. I just thought maybe they were different and it didn`t have to be as dark/or darker. Which makes me think even more that something is off.... I am going to keep testing this week, which would be until CD 17, if nothing by then I will stop. I only have 26-27 day cycles. I have some months had excessive watery cm, some months not, but if I do it is days 10-12, which is when I got the smile.
Any other thoughts, advice from more experienced bees?!?
Maybe it is just the meds this month, or maybe I have not ovulated at all even though I got the smile... I dont know, I am so confused now and frustrated...... I go back to my gp on April 10th, who will then refer me to a obgyn for further testing. Trying to gain as much info as I can now, so that I can go to doc in April, and whenever I get a referral with it all so I dont have to test or another 6 months and wait. -
Thanks everyone! Trying to resist the urge to POAS today. Must wait until tomorrow. On a positive note, DH is way more excited this time around than last time.
@Lady Hibiscus: I wouldn't worry too much. I would try to limit to once per day, since that is what they recommend, but I can't imagine that it would affect the previous time. I don't think they kill each other, just themselves.
-
@butterbean: congrats
-
You can add me to the POAS party on Feb 21! I'll be terrified though.
Good luck @Radish!
-
@Lady Hibiscus: thanks for the encouragement! i hope this's hole board lights on fire with BFPs for us all!! As long as your husband is healthy an has a good sperm count you should be fine to go more than once in a day.
@Radish: FX for you my dear.
@MrsScottish: how is your CM? Can you look at any other signs? Or maybe you can BD every other day or three times a week until you see AF? Exhausting I know. I hope you get answers soon. The BFP variety!!!!
-
@MrsMccarthy: I have had nothing, normally have watery on days 10-12ish, but nothing this month.
-
@MrsScottish: sorry if this is tmi but even hen you dig deep is there nothing? Perhaps some mucinex or water will help. I hope you are just gearing up late the month instead of an annovulatory cycle. It
-
@MrsMccarthy: I was curious... so I... fished around. It is creamy with some chunks (???) which tells me that I am out right?!?!
-
@MrsScottish: you aren't out until AF comes or you reach a ridiculous number of days without her. Keep fishing for the next few days and see if it changes at all. Also check your cervix. Make sure to wash your hands cut your nails and be gentle. Good luck!
-
@MrsMccarthy: You are pushing me to all new levels tonight arn`t you!!
I will test and check this week. Thanks for the advice -
@MrsMccarthy: I just have to say I am so impressed with all your cervix checking talk....I wish I could.....lol
-
yeah, not so sure on the whole cervix checking thing... I will explore the cm though. Have only every paid attention to watery
-
@MrsScottish: I might have missed where you are in your cycle, but I usually have creamy CM after I ovulate. Is that what you think is going on (that you already ovulated)?
@MrsMccarthy: So BD last night was a no-go! SOMEONE (Hubs, grrr) ended up working late and then there was a stupid basketball game on, so it just didn't happen! Boooooooo! Luckily temps are still down this morning and I still have watery CM, so I still have a shot! Hoping for some BD action tonight!!
-
Well I'm out for this month AF showed up last night
-
@katieleigh_82: So sorry to hear that!!!
-
@Adira: Ty, I just had a little online retail therapy and bought myself a new purse!!!
Kate Spade is having a surprise 75% off sale yay! Lol shhhh don't tell DH
-
@katieleigh_82: Retail therapy is the BEST!
-
@katieleigh_82: Lame! I'm excited about your purse, though
I saw the sale but we're trying to cut costs back so nothing for me. I think AF is the perfect excuse for some retail therapy, though 
-
Morning Ladies! I need to go back pages and pages and catch up!
But I wanted to stop in and say hello!
I had three whole days where I didn't think of TTC. It was pretty glorious! -
@Marfi: Bummer on the AF.
How are you feeling? This cycle was the first cycle I decided to "celebrate my moontime." And it made for a really nice weekend. @theotherstark: Still digging temping? I have been temping haphazardly this cycle. So I will be interested to see if I can catch the O.
@Mrs.Panda: Wow! What a gorgeous wee one! SO SO sweet!! Oh! Oh! What did your temp do today?
@MrsScottish: Have you continued testing?
@snowjewelz: My fingers are crossed for all your fun sensations! I hope you are enjoying the ride, regardless!
@MrsMccarthy: Was BD a success? Do you find that a bit of stress truly can delay your O? My husband freaks out about porn. I have no idea why. I know he looks at it. Some porn can be really nice, actually. But he gets SO uncomfortable everytime I bring it up.
@MrsHansen82: I'd keep up with your blog. I'm also only on Cycle 3. I'm still a newbie.
@Radish: Yay!! I hope that you are totally enjoying and delighting in the feeling of being KU, regardless of the outcome! Update for this morning?
@dc yoga bee: I too am looking for a church. I have been thinking A LOT about religion yesterday. And it was one of the things that occupied my mind yesterday so that I was thinking of TTC.
@fotolori1: With my late cycle- I don't get to test at all this month. Oh well. LOL. I'm hoping that it was just one crazy wonky cycle and all my cycles for the rest of the year will be normal.
@Adira: I'm so sorry that BDing as of late hasn't been awesome. I think it's VERY common to feel that way. Have you tried to be intimate in other ways? What is your husband's love language? I could definitely see how having a LO could change TTC dramatically.
@butterbean: Congatulations!!
-
A lot of POAS are coming up, I am definitely hoping to see a lot of BFPs!
So today after I put in my temp, FF decided that I O'd on CD18 (I'm at CD22). This time is not a crosshair but a solid red line. I last BD on CD16. I'm wondering if this is true... If I O this late, that means this cycle's gotta be longer than my last.
-
VERY long update post. Whoops.
I really enjoyed taking the time to nurture and care for myself during AF. I completed my 3 day fasting cleanse. Rested a lot and sat in front of the fire and read quite a bit. On Sunday I really took the time to care for myself. I gave myself a facial and did my nails. I deep conditioned my hair. It was all very nice. I didn't do much housework and I wore a pretty garnet ring that I think will be saved for such occasions.
But now that AF is gone, I think it's time for me to start tracking things so that I can get to know my body more.
What kind of CM do you usually have after AF?
-
@HolisticMama:
this AM. I'm trying not to get too discouraged until Friday. I have run out of distractions, though.
-
@HolisticMama: Hubs love language is definitely physical touch and I know I haven't been awesome about providing it! It probably doesn't help that I'm all TTC-mode and he's all NTNP-mode, haha. I'm hoping he doesn't work late tonight and we can get busy! We have left-overs, so at least we don't have to think about what's for dinner or spend much time dealing with dinner, so more time for BDing!
-
@HolisticMama: Immediately after AF, I'm usually dry/sticky, but it goes to creamy pretty quickly for me. I actually doesn't usually even check it the day after I'm done spotting, but then the next day it's sticky and then the next day it's creamy (at least, that's what's happened this cycle, but I think that's usually my norm).
-
@Radish: Paint by numbers?
I actually picked one of those up the other day. -
Isn't it interesting how everyone's cycle is so different? I definitely have watery CM today. I figure I will start OPKs soon.
I was also super excited to find out that my BBT is not actually that low! I thought I had a terribly low body temp, but vaginally- my temps are in the 98s, which is WONDERFUL!
-
@HolisticMama: This is a great idea! Since AF is pretty much the only days we can stop thinking about TTC and O and TWW and everything else! If I get a BFN this month, I am definitely treating myself and being good to myself during AF! Glad you are refreshed and ready for a new cycle!
-
@Radish: I'm sorry it was negative
I'm thoroughly confused now, I have no idea if I'm having symptoms or its just PMS.... I'm tired, my boobies are sore/sensitive I am 20 sorts of emotional (I usually get very irritable per AF) I've been crampy but not in my back like normal. Right now I've kind of lost the hope of getting a positive test and am just kind of waiting for AF to show up.
-
@cyndistar3: I decided it probably still would be negative today, so wasn't going to test, but found myself waking way earlier than usual and was like why not, I have 20 tests sitting right there. Hopefully you are still in it. Our bodies are so hard to read and being hypersensitive during the TWW does not help.
-
@cyndistar3: When is your AF supposed to show? I am the same, some days I have symptoms that make me think this has got to be it, and then I talk myself out of it and don't think it's going to happen.
-
@Radish: I would probably test every day if I had tests laying around, I'll have to go to the store and get some if AF doesn't show. I just wish that my PMS symptoms would stay the same! It sucks that they change every now and then so I see differences in the pattern and start getting my hopes up lol...
-
@snowjewelz: AF is due on Friday.
-
@cyndistar3: hang in there, you're almost there! if you regular then limbo will be over soon!
-
Hi ladies! Just wanted to check in and say hi and send you all lots of ((hugs)). I am at 5 DPO, just hanging out in the hardest part of the TWW, but it doesn't feel that hard this month because I am so sure this cycle will be a bust. It's a very busy week at work and my husband has the flu, so I've got a lot on my plate to keep me distracted.
this AM. I'm trying not to get too discouraged until Friday. I have run out of distractions, though.
