Hellobee Boards

@alison206: I've never even seen EWCM! Just keep testing and try not to fret! Your body might be still regulating after the MC and not o'ing the same time every month.

@sslm: i had that same conversation with myself two weeks ago. Damn things.

@Jennimac: What's even more frustrating is that yesterday I had a ton of ewcm and today I have none, yet, no temp rise and no + opk, so no ovulation. UGGGGHHHHH.

@sslm: double frustrating!!!!!!!! I'm not temping right now, so I was just going on CM and my o pain. We will see. I almost bought some digital ovulation sticks, but then I saw how expensive they were and I was like, "oh, heck no!!!".

Right now we're doing the BD every other day but I'd like to go daily till Sunday if possible. Hopefully keeping at it will get the job done! I'm not a fan of the cheapo OPK but I'm too cheap for the pricier ones.

@Jennimac: Yeah I have been using the dollar store opks, so at least they weren't pricey, but I can't help but feel like it's a waste of money!!! Temping will have to be enough. We're BD'ing like champs so I am sure all of our bases will be covered whenever my body decides to cooperate...

@sslm: haha! I hope they know you mean business!

@sslm: There you go!!!!! We BD 3 nights in a row because that worked best for our schedule. If we could do every other day, we would. I already told Hubby that if it doesn't work, then next month's timing looks like it will work.
If your eggs don't listen, let me know and I'll give them my teacher look!!!!

Hi all! I *think* I'm 7dpo today (going by OPKs, not my wonky chart). My temp did go up again today which is exciting - first month charting so sort of fun to see it rise

@JoJoGirl: So funny that we get so excited about a little temp jump!!
@sslm: I hope you will be back soon!

So I had my doctors appointment yesterday and it was a little disappointing. I got bloodwork to test for PCOS, if it comes back positive my Dr. thinks I should start on Clomid. But if it comes back negative her solution was just to wait until my cycles regulate then start using the clearblue fertility monitor and TTC. I honestly wasn't really happy with that response since there was no time limit attached, but I guess for now I just have to wait for the results, which could take a couple weeks.

What's most frustrating about this for me is there is almost no information available about having short menstral cycles and what that means for fertility. And I think all ovulation predictors aren't meant to be used with irregular cycles. So it's like people in my category are just forgotten and looked over, it feels really lonely

@Modern Daisy: I'm sorry you are frustrated. I'm trying to remember and you are shortly of BC aren't you (sorry, if I'm confusing you with someone else)? I've heard that it can take 6 months to regulate.

@sslm - I'm right there with you. Still waiting and hating my cheap OPK. Hopefully you'll be back soon and we can be TWW buddies with @Jennimac (assuming I O).

On the bright side if this month is not our month (which I'm not feeling optimistic) next month would be the perfect teacher time to get pregnant. I'm going to buy the Clearblue Digital for next month.

@Grace: @loveletter: boo AF! So sorry, ladies

How is everyone else feeling today?

I think i'm around 9 DPO (i counted wrong last week!) and My BBs feel like they weigh 5o lbs and have been sore for 6 days now, still bloated, crazy dreams, cramps, fluttering and it's been getting harder and harder to get out of bed this week.

I caved and took a cbe today = BFN. That's what I get for testing early!

anyone feeling "different" this week?

@Modern Daisy: My cycles were still very short 5 months after stopping BC (like 21-23 days). I talked to my Dr. and she ran some tests. My thyroid was high & my FSH was borderline high. My age (36), the FSH, and the short cycles were a little concerning. We waited two more cycles to see how long they were then she put me on Clomid. It did help me ovulate later and lengthened my luteal phase! My last cycles have been 26 & 27 days. I hope you get some answers & your Dr. is responsive.

@kentuckygirl: thanks, lady! I'm crossing my fingers for you too....July feels like a lucky month

I'm just stopping in to say that I've still been reading along and silently cheering for y'all! I've got my fingers and toes crossed for all of you to see some BFPs very soon!!!

@GreenThumb: I've been popping into this thread and following your story. I just wanted to send you tons of sticky baby dust and wishing you all the best. I can't wait to hear the update on Tuesday!! I can't believe you're staying so strong to not test, you go girl!!!

Hi, ladies!

Right now I'm 5 dpo and trying not to symptom spot. I'm actually doing better than I thought. Right now I've been having period-like cramps and creamy CM, but I'm really not reading too much into that. One thing that I've noticed is my boobs are still leaking some milk. : / Totally weird. I haven't had that since my milk dried up 3 months ago. Don't really think it means anything, but weird all the same.

@Jennimac: I refuse to read into that, but it surely is strange. Fingers crossed!
