*****Tuesday Crazy Train*****

LaRomana09

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!

Hi @LaRomana09 how are you hun? can I punch a ticket today?

Crazy level from 1-10:5

CD/DPO: cd20

Can I just ______ already?!: Get the confirmation that I O?

Signs/Symptoms: ewcm, 2 pos opk's

Explain your Crazy here: Im at cd20 and just got two pos opk's. I had basically given up on my body doing what it's supposed to this cycle because my whole cycle pre loss is usually 23-25 days.. so to finally get a smiley face at cd20 is odd for me.. besides that, my temping has been all over the place this cycle because of surgery, missing bbt, camping, waking earlier than  usual etc.. so I don't even know if I'll get CH's this time. and if I don't than how do I know if I O"d for sure? where would you consider the 2ww to start?

Hmm, I don't think FF will give you CHs with those missing temps right around O, but if you keep temping, you should be able to confirm O based on a temp shift.  What I would suggest is to keep temping to make sure those temps go up, and if they do just switch your O-detection method to OPK instead of advanced.  That will give you CHs just based on your OPKs regardless of temps!

Crazy level from 1-10: 8

CD/DPO: cycle 12(3 post loss)/12 DPO

Can I just ______ already?!: Get AF and move on

Signs/Symptoms:nothing. nothing at all.  Normally I have cramps 1-2 days before, but that hasn't happened.

Explain your Crazy here: 

heads up...squinter mentioned, but not BFP.

I need to stop POAS. I started spotting brown, but I keep telling myself that I have a chance.  I took a test on Sunday night. It was expired because the one that morning was neg.  Well I saw a very faint line.  Monday testing and Tuesday testing with FMU is all stark white.  I am wondering if my eyes were wanting to see something that wasn't really there.

It's possible that what you saw was an evap line.  I'm not sure if expired tests are more likely to have evap lines.  Either way, that is really hard to think you saw a line (and maybe you did) and then have no line the next day.  Big (((((HUGS)))))

Thanks. I am just trying to get rid of the expired test. I kinda kinda bad throwing them in the trash unopened.  I even lied to myself and said maybe my new batch is bad.  Now I have it crazy level.  thanks for your support and ((hugs)).

@laromana09 - question for you - your trigger cycle... did you force FF to put in your O date or did it auto update?  I apparently still haven't had a good enough shift to get CHs and I was wondering as I'm 10 days past trigger... Also, did you test out the trigger?  I'm trying to determine when I should test as I didn't test it out.

I overrode and entered my O date manually, which is what FF recommends when you trigger.  It's a blue line and not those nice red CHs, but it's not so bad.   :P

I tested out my trigger twice, and the other times I just didn't test and waited for AF.  Personally, if you didn't test out your trigger, I would wait it out until the day of your betas (and POAS that morning).  A squinter at that point would be super stressful for me, wondering if it was still trigger or what.  FX for you!

@jjbmstinco (((hugs))) that is frustrating.  Out of curiosity what kind of test was it?

Wandfo.  The expired tests are almost gone.

Thanks girl.  My doc didn't schedule betas - just said to test at 14DP and let them know what it says... seemed odd, but that's what they said.  Do you recommend something different?

@jjbmstinco that's what I thought it might be. I've had a false positive before on a wondfo so once this 50 pack is done with I won't be ordering more. I'm sticking with the Walmart ones for cheapies.

@Greeneyes842-how much are they?  I guess when I started all this TTC stuff, everyone said Wandfo, so that is what I have always used. Then I had another nestie send me her left overs. She had one CVS digi. I used that one, but I guess they don't have refillable ones.

@MrsG80inTN‌ No that sounds good, I just personally didn't want to get a squinter at say 11 or 12 DPO and have to wait until 14 DPO to figure out if it was real or trigger, KWIM?
