**** Weekend Crazy Train ****

RedTwizzlers

This is a thread posted daily for any of us who need to get out our frustrations about waiting to O, the 2WW, or vent about our cycles.

If you find yourself checking FF obsessively, MF is getting the best of you, or you just want to pee on all things, let it out here! In order for the conductors to be better able to help you, please make sure you either have a FF chart link in your sig, or make sure you post a link.

Don't chart? You should consider it, not only will it give you a lot more insight to your cycles, but conductors will be able to answer a lot of your questions just by looking at your chart!

The CT is not the place to post a BFP. If you have a "squinter" or if you have a line that appeared after the time frame, please do not post about it here.
Take a step back from the board, test again with FMU, and good luck!

Crazy level from 1-10: CD/DPO:

Can I just ______ already?!:

Signs/Symptoms:

Explain your Crazy here:

rslh10

I shall take a ticket this morning, RT!

Crazy level- 6 (and rising)

Cd 23/ 10dpo

Can I just--- not pee on any more sticks till Monday!!!! (I caved and POAS this am)

Signs/symptoms- lower back pain, pelvic pain, left side cramps, full feeling boobs and really watery cm? (all from my progesterone I'm guessing!)

Ugh I should have just held out but noooo. My FRER's were screaming my name this morning....bfn obviously.

I feel so confused this cycle because I'm struggling with the question of "if it's not my bfp cycle do I want to try anymore?" I'm feeling all these weird emotions surrounding ttc lately. I don't know if that even makes sense, sorry.

((hugs)) sorry about the BFN. It sucks, even if you know it's early and you know you're not out yet. I'm sorry you're having so many conflicting emotions about TTC. I haven't ever felt that I wanted to stop, personally, but it is such a roller coaster in so many ways. I hope you come to a decision you're both comfortable with.

I'm punching a ticket today.
Crazy level from 1-10: 8 CD/DPO: 23

Can I just ______ already?!: Ovulate

Signs/Symptoms:  I had EWCM thursday and then it dried up yesterday so I really thought yesterday would be O but no temp spike this AM.  Plus we were travel yesterday and got home late so no sex last night.  Need to get it on tonight and hopefully I will O tonight or at least soon.

Explain your Crazy here: see above plus my O date keeps getting later.  It used to be around day 18 then last cycle CD 22 now still no temp spike and I'm on day 23.  GAH!

I wouldn't worry too much about variation in O dates between a few cycles. I know that's easier said than done, though. Why did you stop the OPKs? If I were you I'd start those up again. You also have a lot of open circles, do you temp at the same-ish time every day?

I was out of town and ran out of OPK since I didn't bring enough with me.  I will start back up today but it may be too late.  I usually temp around 7 when I wake up but sometimes I wake up at 6 to pee and go ahead and temp then otherwise I won't have 3 hrs of solid sleep.  I have always been able to see a shift even with the open circles so I'm not that worried that I won't see O.  I am just getting impatient plus working out of town has me stressed out about missing FW.

ETA: Just took an OPK and it was almost + so I either just missed the surge or it will be + later today I would guess.

Crazy level from 1-10: CD/DPO: a solid 8 - CD 20

Can I just ovulate and get some crosshairs on my chart already?!:

Signs/Symptoms: I've had two days of positive OPKs, tons of EWCF and we've been DTD like crazy. For the last two days, my nipples have been super sensitive, just like they are right after O, so I'm questioning if I've already O'd or not.

Explain your Crazy here:This is my first cycle TTC after we got the all clear from the doctor. I really don't want it to take another year to get pregnant again like it did last time ... My chart is driving me crazy because I don't see a clear temp pattern and there hasn't been a clear shift yet, which based on my symptoms I would have expected to see by this morning ... so, I'm impatiently waiting for my crosshairs - feel free to chart stalk me!

Your temps are all over the place. Are you temping at the same time every day, before you get out of bed? It also seems like this is your first full cycle charting, yes? It can take some time to get the hang of it. But I can't think of any explanation for why your temps are so varying, which is why I'm asking about your temping habits.

First time punching a ticket this cycle, hope you have room for another! Crazy level: 6 CD26, 9DPO Can I just know if I'm pregnant already? Signs: I was doing good until yesterday, when I became utterly exhausted and started to read into it. Now I can't turn off the crazy and stupidly tested this morning to a BFN. My chart looks good but now I'm feeling pretty down

You are not out yet, far from it. 9 dpo is like the earliest anyone has ever seen a BFP. You're not out until AF shows. Test again in a few days. FX for you.

RedTwizzlers This is my first full cycle temping since my loss. I actually temped for years in my twenties (primary/secondary infertility issues). I'm taking my temp at 5 a.m. most days - there are a couple of days I took it at 7 a.m. (maybe I should tell FF to discard those temps?). Based on my positive OPK, CF and other signs (like severe nipple tenderness which I always get after I O) I'm fairly certain that I O'd yesterday. So I'm going to hope my temp jumps up tomorrow to reflect that.

I just bought a new thermometer, so I know it's not that. I was just expecting to see more stable pre-O temps than what I did. I'm curious to see what FF is going to do in the next day or two. Somehow I'd just feel better seeing those crosshairs, you know?

Edited to add: I think my coverline should be about 97.2 ... what do you think?

Thanks for chart stalking me. Any advice you have, I'm totally open.
