==Weekend Crazy Train==

BethKate2

Just a heads-up, ladies, this will be a bit of a P&R today. I'm headed to my cousin's wedding in a little while and won't be back until late. Hopefully the other conductors (and other knowledgeable ladies!) can chime in today, and I'll be around tomorrow.

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! To learn more about charting, check out the charting course that FF offers:https://www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/

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: 4

CD/DPO: 15/2 or 5

Can I just ______ already?!: get date

Signs/Symptoms: none

Explain your Crazy here: FF keeps changing my O date.  I was wondering if you ladies would know by looking at my chart.  One time it will say CD 15 and then it will change to CD 12.  I have put in dummy temps and it changes.  Then I added me CM for today and it changed again.  Thoughts?

I'm leaning towards cd15 as O. Based on fertile cm and negative opks leading up to cd12. My guess is FF will move it after another temp or two.

Thanks @Blackbird818-

@medic7979 @greeneyes842 @JJbmstinco FX for all of you!!!

AFM just waving hello 

:-h

I will the punching my ticket next week I'm sure

rslh10

Can I punch a ticket regarding AF?

I've been spotting since Thursday the 11th. I still took my progesterone that night, and then ended up stopping the next night. I counted yesterday as CD1 because the bleeding was heavy enough to wear a tampon (so I thought) then, when I took it out there was barely anything on it. Then, last night I was having AWFUL cramps. They felt like the cramps I was having during my m/c. I've never had them during af. 

Now, I'm bleeding brown blood? I don't have any idea whats going on with my body, and I'm getting frustrated. I am going to go tomorrow for a baseline U/S considering it would be cd3, and I need it for my medicated cycle. 

I'm worried that I may have a cyst (my OB said there was a chance due to how many follies I had). I am just frustrated that I can't even have a normal freakin AF. I have to guess what cycle day I am. 

What could the brown blood be from? It's supposed to be old blood, right? I don't know what I would have old blood from. Confused!  :-w I'm also starting femara instead of clomid this cycle, as long as no cysts are present. It's never easy, is it?

BethKate2

@rslh10, I'm sorry your cycle is being so confusing. You're right that brown blood is usually old blood.

I guess the good news is that you'll be going in for an u/s tomorrow, and hopefully it'll give you some answers. Also, I'd definitely push for more post-O monitoring next cycle rather than just guessing at your O date based on a +OPK because I'm wondering if taking the progesterone prior to ovulation caused the wonky cycle.

I'm sorry you're still dealing with this mess. FX for a clearer picture tomorrow.

rslh10

@bethkate2 what's your opinion on monitoring post-O if I have a trigger shot? My ob says it's a "guarantee" that O with happen within 40 hrs of the shot. But I agree with you that this last cycle I think not triggering made me O late. I'm going to temp again through this whole cycle and hopefully I will be able to better understand my cycle. Even if I trigger, I still want to have the chart to look at. Medicated cycles are crazy!

BethKate2

@rslh10, I think if you trigger, you'll be able to be more sure of when you ovulated, but I don't have personal experience with triggering (yet).

@medic7979‌ oh love I'm so sorry!!!!

I have some questions for ladies who have more skills with reading charts then I do. 1. How does FF figure out coverline?

2. Has anyone ever seen post O temps that are barely moving like mine are this time? I have NEVER had this happen before.....

Thanks!!!

BethKate2

@Elliecat17, about cover lines: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Coverline-calculation-method.html

I have seen post-O temps that look like that before. As long as your temps are still above your pre-O temps, I wouldn't worry.

PinkCamino

BETH! I'm losing my mind. Can you chart stalk me please?

So I put in some dummy temps and get CHs for CD17. If I remove the OPKs I don't get CHs at all. I'm so confused. Does CD17 look like a possibility to you? If so, to improve our timing I think we need to BD tonight. Thoughts?

BethKate2

@PinkCamino, I think CD 17 is a good possibility. If your temp is up tomorrow and Tuesday, I'm sure you'll get CHs for that day. If you did O two days ago, sex today probably won't matter, but if you're up for it, it can't hurt!

I'm pretty late on this, but wanted to hop on board

Crazy level from 1-10: 10 < br>
CD/DPO: CD 41/possibly 10 DPO

Can I just ______ already?!: have some clue as to what's going on???

Signs/Symptoms: super sleepy, but I don't think that's necessarily related to anything

Explain your Crazy here: I'm so confused as to what my body is doing. By CD 24 I no signs of O and I was sure that this was going to be an annovulatory cycle and perhaps my body tried to o through my blocked tube so I stopped temping consistently and waited for AF. So now at CD 41 still no AF and the last couple times I've taken my temps they have been high (they would be above my cover line if I had been temping consistently). So did I O, just really late? I have no clue and since I didn't chart well...so mad at myself for that, but at the same time seeing the same temps over and over w/ no sign of O was depressing the crap out of me. This waiting game blows
