@nicolechris11212: I'm so sorry, I really hope your temps are just a fluke, good luck to you this week

@KelLeeLeee: Is your surge usually pretty short? If it helps my timing last month was the same except that we "hit" O-3 instead of O-4. And even if you O today, the egg is still viable for at least 12 hours and the fastest swimmers can get there in 30 minutes. Don't make me bust out my EOD vs ED charts.

@simplyfelicity: hahaha you and those charts! But yes, that does make me feel better. I only test in the morning because I drink way too much water and every cycle I O'ed the same day, so assuming my surge started last night. I will try and bd tomorrow too just in case my surge lengthened.

@raspberries: I'm hoping that at some point they stop getting longer and just become a normal number! I'm tired of waiting on O each month. Hopefully the CBE advanced help this month! We are starting our third month so I can't complain much either!

@HappyBluebird: FWIW, a good friend of mine had a really long cycle when coming off bc and got KU her second time It sucks to wait, but at least you're still in the game!

@KelLeeLeee: Thanks! It helps when you hear those kind of stories! But its very true that even though its a long cycle I'm still in it!

8DPO today ladies and I already feel out, supposed to start testing on July 4th...yesterday I was extremely bloated (so much so I was in a little pain) for no reason (ate pretty healthy yesterday!)
The last couple days I noticed more creamy CM than normal, but everything seems to be fine today. I really wish I could feel some kind of different. But I don't. If there was an egg to implant it's possible it hasn't even implanted yet...
Keeping hope...I might wait to test until the 6th (if I don't start my pre-AF spotting by then).

@yellowbird @tam i am going to start a thread called "O why, O why haven't I O'd yet?!!" LOL!! I agree its worse than the tww for me!!
nectarine / 2465 posts
@Starfish: Those totally sound like symptoms! From what I have heard from people, they will frequently get symptoms in the middle of their cycle and than it will dissipate
pomelo / 5129 posts
@Starfish: I totally noticed more CM than usual when I was KU. FX thats a symptom for you!
honeydew / 7303 posts
@googly-eyes: ughhhh! It's horrible! I feel like not getting a +opk is stressing me out and further delaying everything.

pea / 12 posts
i uploaded a new photo the line that you guys should look at is above the hand cursor. thanks again.

@boxermomma25: I kind of sort of see something but I am not sure if it is just the angle. Do you have a First Response Early Result you could use with FMU tomorrow? What dpo are you? Fingers Crossed!
pea / 12 posts
@simplyfelicity: Im 14dpo and my period should show up today or tomorrow. I wanna get that but drugstores are closed bec its Canada Day. yeah fingerscrossed. I saw that line when the sample passed and I was like I swear I saw something. I had a very light bleeding 9dpo to 11dpo. maybe about 20ml of blood. sorry TMI.
cantaloupe / 6634 posts
@boxermomma25: I see. Can you post an unaltered picture? Also, what was the time between taking the test and the pic?
ETA: there really is no such thing as TMI when it comes to TTC.
cherry / 203 posts
@boxermomma25 I can't see anything but maybe if you post the original pic? Good luck!
GOLD / pomelo / 5737 posts
@boxermomma25: I see what you're talking about but I say take another in the morning or asap! Good luck!

@KelLeeLeee: Im not sure if i have ovulated yet. Normally I can feel it but not this month.
GOLD / pomelo / 5737 posts
Ok, randome opk/timing question.
Is sex 24 hrs after positive opk (solid smiley one) probably bad timing?
Tmi warning, sort of. I had a flashing smiley in he late morning, sex in the afternoon a few hrs later, and a solid smiley (pos opk) at night, around 830. (This happens to be the only time I've ever taken more than one opk, glad I did!) Would waiting 24 hrs from the pos opk still be considered good timing?
Opks are bringing out the crazy in me. If I don't get KU this cycle I might go back to my no opks more casual ttc plan...
nectarine / 2465 posts
@boxermomma25: I do see something, but I feel like it should be darker at 14 dpo. Test again today!!
nectarine / 2465 posts
@googly-eyes: No necessarily! You normally ovulate 12-36 hours after your first positive, so 24 hours could be great timing!
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@boxermomma25: I can't tell what I'm supposed to be looking at. Can you post the regular pic?
@googly-eyes: not bad timing at all, but your afternoon BD, right before the smiley is great timing!
My chart is all messed up this month. I got a cold with a fever on the day I think I ovulated and even though it is discarding that temp, FF is having a hard time figuring out when I O'd. First it gave me dotted crosshairs on cd 12, before my pos. OPK! Now it changed it to solid crosshairs on cd 15. Pretty sure it was on cd 13 but that's the day I had a fever. If I put in a fake low temp that day, it says I O'd on cd 13. So that's what I'll assume.
apricot / 306 posts
@googly-eyes: No, I think that's still great timing! I used the digital OPKs this month too. I got the solid smiley on CD16 and Od on CD18.
@Starfish: I'm 8DPO too and also feeling out. Occasionally noticing some symptom-ish things and then just as quickly feeling like I'm crazy. Woke up to very noticeable cramps this morning which makes me feel out. The past two cycles I've also had strong cramps at 8 DPO and got all excited thinking it was implantation cramping, but it was just AF gearing up.
pomelo / 5129 posts
@angelachase: You're still in!
@travellingbee: I feel you on the sick temperatures. I've been sick and/or medicated pre-O the last two months and it can be SO confusing!! If you had positive OPKs, I might just tell FF for this month to analyze them first.
Go to http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/odetector_module.php and where it has the circles you can click, change from Advanced to OPK

Oh, and an update for me, DH fell asleep on the couch last night.
I wonder if it truly was an accident, or, if after DTD for 3 days in a row, he was afraid I might jump him again. Lol!
I don't have cross hairs yet, but I had a really nice rise this morning!
olive / 60 posts
@ANGELACHASE - I've had some random cramps this TWW as well. not too noticeable, I think I am only making note of them because we are TTC. Our bodies are not fair to us sometimes!!
But you know what they say....you are not out until AF shows!!
cherry / 107 posts
Ladies- I'm a bit concerned I seem to be repeating short cycles. Is it normal for a period to end on say CD 10 and get a positive OPK on CD 15 &16? Doesn't that seem quick? if so are there natural ways to lengthen that phase if it supposed to be longer?
pomelo / 5129 posts
@sunset840: Are you bleeding full force for 10 days, or do you bleed for a few, and then spot for a few? Only count full flow days as your period.
Positive OPKs on CD 15 doesn't seem unusual, but if you're bleeding for 10 full days, I might ask a doctor about that.
Have you always had long periods?
