ladies, i have a question - how many days of EWCM do you usually get before your O day? i barely remember since it's been 6 months since i had a normal cycle, but i do usually have EWCM as a good indicator.

@runnerd: I usually only get 1 day of EWCM - if even that much - prior to O. Watery CM is a much more common occurrence than EW for me
I'm 8dpo today. Everyone keep your fingers and toes crossed that I don't start spotting today or tomorrow! I need this LP to increase! Also, I had a slight (.3) temp dip this am. I consulted Dr. Google and now I'm convinced it's implantation...haha. Sheesh, keep me sane, ladies!
Here's my chart, for your info:

@doxielove definitely looks like an implantation dip to me Fingers crossed that your temp goes back up tomorrow!

@LovelyPlum: Can I get a POAS date? I O'ed much later this cycle I think due to being sick, so although there is a slim chance it's still there...so I will POAS July 11th!

@runnerd: I have a lot of CM but its more watery and not as stretchy. Just that one or two days is really EWCM

How's everyone doing? Any symptoms?
I'm on cycle day 32 but I haven't felt my cervix for a couple days due to inch long finger nails. I was a little crampy yesterday but nothing else. I hope my period stays far away!

Sorry I was MIA from this thread today-this one is easier on a computer than my phone! I will update, add, and respond tomorrow.
In the meantime, let's play a game: what are you all doing for the Fourth? Or outside of the US (or for anyone):is anyone going away this summer? Where are ya headed?

@anonysquire: no symptoms here, but that is because AF just left. Glad that is over

Plans for the fourth!
My mom is coming in Wednesday night and my DH is leaving for a guys trip. I'm excited to have girl time with my mom, but I am scheduled to O on Sunday. Hopefully we will be able to BD at 0-4, 0, 0+1, and 0+2.

@T.H.O.U.: Bummer that the timing isn't going to be great for you, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will still work out!

It's July!!!! Just popping in to wish you ladies the very, very best of luck! Baby dust to you all!!

@runnerd: I haven't been doing this for long, but this cycle I've had about 3 days of EWCM before O (if I indeed O'ed). Not sure yet that I O'ed - waiting for FF to give me crosshairs.
@LovelyPlum: No plans but maybe grilling out on the 4th, but that's normal dinner behavior for us anyway. We are having a pig/animal parts roast (sorry if that grosses anyone out) for my BIL's birthday on Sunday, though.
Expounding on my EWCM comment about - I *think* I O'ed Saturday! I had EWCM Friday and early Saturday, but by Saturday night I had no CM to be found, same with yesterday and today. And I had some serious O cramping Saturday. But if I did, my temp is definitely rising slowly. I'm hoping because our BDing was really good!: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/jillybean218
If I get crosshairs, I will update with my POAS date!

Well poop. My temp is not popping back up - still above the cover line, but not as high as I'd like it to be. Plus I'm having my normal pre-AF stay-the-hell-away-from-me rage. Kind of bummed because I think AF is on her way :-\ I know, I know, it's not over until it's over! Trying to stay optimistic!
@LovelyPlum: We don't have any concrete 4th plans yet. Probably grilling out, nothing fancy.

@LovelyPlum: BBQ/party at a friends rooftop and fireworks. Good luck on Wednesday !
@doxielove: fx for you!!!

@luckypenny: yay! so great to see you here...if you do decide to try sending lots of baby dust your way!
No concrete plans for the 4th, but since I'm not pregnant and won't O until around the 14th/15th, I'm drinking as much wine as I want to go with whatever we have on the grill. Then back to being responsible and TTC

@doxielove: I'm still hopeful for ya!
@littleredhairedgrl: Good luck!
@lovelyplum: I have 1 grad school assignment due on the 4th and 3 due on the 5th (and one professor said, enjoy your 4th of July! Humph!). DH has a lot of work/grad school stuff too so we scrapped our plans for a long weekend in NC. Hoping to have a low-key cookout with the fam and perhaps squeeze in a trip to the beach around here this weekend though.

Cycles trying: 1st officially charting, 2nd month with goalie out of the net / NPNT
Current Cycle Day: 37
Estimated Ovulation Date: June 24
BD timing: We didn't have a great BD month in June - we were more NPNT but I did look at my phone app here and there and our BD was never timed correctly. I always have 28-30 day cycles but I started exercising excessively the past two months because I have a vacation coming up. My body fat % is quite low, so I am keeping an eye on this as well. After picking up the exercise and dieting, my cycle increased to 37 days for the first time last month, and I'm currently on CD37 again with no sign of AF. I'm not preggers because I did take a Wondfo hpt yesterday and it was negative. It's funny how the moment we decide to TTC, my cycle is off. I haven't had 30+ day cycles in over two years. Now it's complicating things! Hopefully it'll adjust.
ETA: For fun: What's your favorite food to grill?
Any kind of chicken, asparagus, pineapple burgers with cheese - yum!

If it's OK with you, I'm going to keep throwing out questions/topics. This thread can get a little tense, because I know we all get nervous waiting. Why not make it fun,. right? After all, stress is not the friend of the
