@periwinklebee: Thanks, I appreciate it. In the meantime, I want to stick my head in the sand and POAS when I'm already showing.
-
@Coral: hah hah sounds like a good plan!
-
Still nothing conclusive to report. The FRER with SMU yesterday was negative and the test today has a faint but visible line. I'm 9 DPO and 11 days past trigger. I'll test again in the morning.
ETA: last month the trigger was gone after 10 days and I've never gotten a + test at 9 dpo with any pregnancy, so I feel kinda optimistic. But still very apprehensive. -
@mrskansas: fx!!
-
I don't know if this is even visible but here's a picture
-
@mrskansas: I see the faint line. Hoping this is your rainbow
-
@mrskansas: I see the shadow
I think you've got a couple more days to feel really sure about trigger but it seems SO promising! Looks perfect for 9dpo!I'm going to be facing the same thing this month, no trigger but I still had very low hcg left when I ovulated. Probably will test later this week around 7-8dpo to see how it looks.
-
@azjax: Thanks girl! I hope so too.
@bhbee: I definitely won't trust it until it's a clear line that can be photographed easily, lol.
Hopefully your test is negative that way you know anything after is real! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! -
@mrskansas: I can see it! So many fx for you!
-
@mrskansas: Crossing all my fingers!!
-
@mrskansas: I see a faint line! Hope this is it, mama!
-
@mrskansas: I most definitely see it!!
-
@Tionn3: I'm sorry sister. I hate that shit.
-
@mrskansas: Oooh I see it and I never see them! And it actually looks pink-ish instead of shadowy!
-
Decided not to use OPKs this month. I know that I will likely surge on CD 15 and ovulate on CD 16 so I figured what's the point. I'm on CD 13 right now so we'll probably BD tonight through CD 17. I'll go ahead and start progesterone suppositories (leftover from last cycle) around CD 24, to make sure my luteal phase is long enough. I'm not really expecting anything since this cycle is unmedicated - though that attitude is easier said than done once the TWW begins.
But all that is to say I might not be around much this cycle since I'm feeling pretty drained from TTC, having hit the two year mark.
-
@dominobee: Yeah it's pink in person! That's what makes me lean towards it being real vs the past 2 days of shadows.
-
@dominobee: I've been thinking of you girl
-
How is everyone else doing?
-
@mrskansas: I am so so pulling for you. Like, it's bordering on obsession.
-
@mrskansas: I'm on day 4 of temping! I think it's going well. Although my thermometer seems to take lightyears and I worry it'll fall out of my mouth if I doze off.
Had another almost positive looking OPK yesterday, so I'm curious what it'll look like starting today onward. And I agree with @dominobee that it looks pink to me!
-
@Mrs. Oreo: What cycle day are you on? I bet you'll be ovulating soon!!
-
@mrskansas: cd11!
I'm hoping Femara really helps me ovulate sooner vs later. This is my chart so far on Ovia.
-
@Mrs. Oreo: I think you'll get a positive OPK any day. As you may remember I was a chronically late ovulater before meds and with Femara I had a mature egg on CD 13, so MUCH earlier!
I admire you for charting though! It was always so intimidating to me.
-
I feel super bloated today. That's a bit unusual for this time for me. I'm hoping it's a good sign.
Question for those who temp, do your temps stay pretty consistent? Mine have been up and down this whole TWW, although always still above the coverline. But they fluctuate between about 97.45-98.05. Is that normal? I'm not perfect about temping at the same time each day because I wake up a lot in the night so maybe that contributes? (Before I ovulate it's usually between 96.50-97.05 or so.
-
@mrskansas: I'm so curious how today's OPK would look! I'm so excited and hopeful, if that sounds a little dorky. Lol. And I do remember when that happened for you!
I was intimated with temping. But since I wake up at 5:15am (well, my alarm is set for that but I actually wake up at 5:45), I decided to set my alarm for 5am. And it's worked so far, even on the weekend. DH was confused at first but he doesn't even get woken up from he obnoxious thermometer beeping.
-
@Mrs. Oreo: I'm so glad you're feeling excited; you have every reason to be!
You'll be in the dreaded TWW before you know it -
@mrskansas: lol right?! I'm so excited to be miserable in the TWW
-
@mrskansas: I am rooting for you so much - I really hope this is it!
@Umbreon: I think it's pretty normal for them to fluctuate within that range, especially if you wake up at night or aren't getting up at exactly the same time. As long as they're staying above the coverline, that's what matters.
-
@Mrs. Oreo: I'm glad you're feeling excited and hopeful - yay! Feeling optimistic during TTC is half the battle...
-
I suck at TTC #2 already. I did OPKs for maybe 2 days and that was it. We BD twice before when I think I Oed. Seriously, this is not going to get me anywhere, LOL! I'm trying to avoid an end of the year baby cause of work so that only gives us 6 months of good TTC time. AF is due May 29, I think? I've been spotting a couple days leading up so I'll know by then. Don't plan on POAS though.
-
@mrskansas: nothing exciting happening over here. Hanging out at CD4 and obsessing about when I'm going to have to BD next week. lol. I honestly hate this part of the month more than even the TWW because there is nothing to do!
-
@periwinklebee: thanks!
-
@bushelandapeck: Yes, totally agree! The TWW has always been much easier on me than waiting to O.
-
@mrskansas: @bushelandapeck: Agreed!
-
How do your CM change post-O? Does it basically dry up? I'm wondering if maybe I haven't Oed yet (which would be really late).
-
@LindsayInNY: This is what FertilityFriend says: "In a typical menstrual cycle, cervical fluid starts out scant and dry just after menstruation, becoming sticky or pasty, then creamy before the more fertile, watery and egg white fluid is observed when you are most fertile around ovulation. After ovulation, cervical fluid is again scant and dry. "
-
@LindsayInNY: Mine goes from EWCM to creamy/scant the day after I ovulate.
-
@LindsayInNY: mine changes back to creamy again after O and stays that way right up until AF.
-
@LindsayInNY: I forgot to add that mine usually becomes creamy/scant after ovulation and until AF shows up.
-
@Mrs.Panda: How's things on your end? Any updates? Been thinking of you and hoping you're doing ok...
I think you've got a couple more days to feel really sure about trigger but it seems SO promising! Looks perfect for 9dpo!
Had another almost positive looking OPK yesterday, so I'm curious what it'll look like starting today onward.
