**** Monday Crazy Train *****

PinkCamino

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:

CD/DPO:

Can I just ______ already?!:

Signs/Symptoms:

Explain your Crazy here:

Menrandes

Crazy level from 1-10:4

CD/DPO:26/5

Can I just ______ already?!: Have a more obvious rise in temps?

Signs/Symptoms:None really

Explain your Crazy here:I don't know, I'm not convinced that I ovulated at all. I never really had fertile CM this month.  This whole cycle just seems really weird to me!

MrsPhD83

Good morning PC! Punching my ticket bright and early!

Crazy level from 1-10: 6

CD/DPO: 7DPO

Can I just ______ already?!: start peeing on things?

Signs/Symptoms: Nothing super noteworthy. Cramps. My back hurts on and off. Oddly, my teeth/gums hurt.

Explain your Crazy here: As per usual, the first 5-6 days of the TWW flew by, but now I'm getting antsy. And, against my better judgement, I've been temping after CHs. My chart looks like the freaking Rocky Mountains, I don't really have symptoms, and I'm already feeling out this cycle!! I was going to start testing Thursday (my LP is only 10 days), buuuuuuuut I may throw in 1 early test tomorrow cause I have 2 FRERs so what the hell!

I'm not 100% convinced you Oed either. Do you use OPKs? Using them might help you gain some clarity.

nope! You CANNOT start peeing on things yet. It's just way too early. Please wait until at least 10dpo although 12 dpo is probably better.

Symptoms mean nothing at this point. Symptoms can mean anything from a BFP to PMS kwim? Don't read too much into it.

MrsPhD83

@PinkCamino‌, ha! I'll try to resist. I have an early meeting Wednesday, so i know I won't test then. Just have to make it through tomorrow!

Not too crazy quite yet, but I can feel it building!!!

Crazy level from 1-10:

CD/DPO: 24/5

Can I just ______ already?!:  Feel confident in my decision to start progesterone last night!

Signs/Symptoms:  Nothing really... 

Explain your Crazy here:  So... I'm not so great at the whole CM and cervix position portion of charting, but I KNOW I had EWCM (Saturday) after my OPK said peak and after my temps went up for three consecutive days.  I put off progesterone Saturday night when I had planned to start, took an OPK Sunday morning and Sunday evening.  After getting low both times, I decided to start last night.  Is there any way that the OPK and the temp shift could be WRONG and CM be right?  

mrsjg2013

@menrandes- Boo for a rocky chart!  That's so confusing AND frustrating!  Big ((HUGS)) to you and a TP to your temps!  I agree with PC- using OPK's could definitely be helpful. 

@mrsphd83- Will power is SOOOOO hard!  Don't feel bad, I keep checking statistics on each DPO to try to convince myself to wait until 12DPO.  I'll be lucky if I make it to 10!!

@mlal78-  HI  Lots of TP's to your temps!

It could happen but your chart shows a pretty consistent temp shift at this point. How off were those 3 temps with open dots?

CreechMommy

Is it possible to have +OPKs two days in a row? Yesterday afternoon was a definite + but this morning also looks pretty +  Maybe a little lighter, but it's hard to tell.  I only saw a little bit of EWCM yesterday.

I had been trying to temp around 5am, but getting up to go to the r/r gets in my way!  I decided to test before I get up to go b/c it often doesn't give me 3 hours of sleep before I have to get up with my alarm.  The day before ovulation was at 5am (97.29), DPO 1 3am (97.6), DPO2 2:30am (97.7), dpo3 3:25am (97.78)... I've noticed that my 5am temp seems to be higher than my early morning temp, so I had been going with that so I could see a true rise.  I meant to switch my temps today... 97.78 at 3am, 98.05 at 5am.

Yes absolutely. I consistently get two days worth of positive OPKs

Got a seat for me? Crazy level from 1-10: 7 CD/DPO: 25/10 Can I just ______ already?!: Can I just pee on sticks already?! Signs/Symptoms: nada Explain your Crazy here: first cycle on progesterone suppositories, my doc had me start on 7dpo (she thinks it was 8dpo because she loves her OPKs). I take one a night but don't know what mg, it's not on the bottle and she probably told me over the phone but I didn't pay attention. I'm suppose to wait until Friday to pee on things, but it's so hard. So hard. My FF: https://fertilityfriend.com/home/506853

WAIT til Friday?!?!   ^:)^ if you make it that long!!!  I sooooooooooo do NOT have that much will power!  I imagine I'll start at 10DPO, but BFN's don't phase me until I get to 14DPO.  I just can't resist the urge!!!  FX crossed for you, but I say GO FOR IT whenever you feel ready!

Crazy level from 1-10: 10



CD/DPO: CD 42/possibly 11dpo



Can I just ______ already?!: get AF or a BFP?!



Signs/Symptoms: nothing really



Explain your Crazy here: as I said in the weekend CT, I have no idea what's going on and I won't until AF shows up or I get a BFP b/c I did a crappy job of charting. I would've bet money this was an annovulatory cycle, but now I really don't know. I got frustrated with seeing the same temps with no sign of O so I stopped temping. When I started again my temps were high. Now it's just the waiting game....as always

Menrandes

@PinkCamino @mrsjg2013 Never used them before, but I might have to start next cycle.  Usually I have a clear shift in temps, so I don't know what's going on.  Last cycle wasn't great either, but it wasn't like this!!

Crazy level from 1-10: 3? 5? Annoyed mostly.

CD/DPO: CD17, 4dpo (allegedly) 

Can I just ______ already?!: I don't know... be well/not sick, have clear temps, have a nice(r) looking chart, speed through the 2ww? Any of those?

Signs/Symptoms: None, really.

Explain your Crazy here: I've been sick (cold, respiratory infection, sinus infection) for the last, uh, 3-ish weeks so my temps have been (imo) unreliable. You know, the interrupted sleep, fever, open mouth breathing, etc. And, I've had a weird work/travel schedule with poor sleep, early wakings, etc. So my chart sucks.

I have the two positive OPKs on CD14 and CD15. The one on CD14 was positive practically before I could set it down to see it develop. The CD15 one took the full 5 mins to come to positive.

So. Thoughts on an actual, non-temp'd O date? I'm just trying to gauge the "goodness" of our timing this cycle. Aside from just venting like a spoiled child. :P

Boooooo so sorry you've been feeling sick lady. I'd say CD16 looks good. I have a feeling FF will change those CHs in a few days.

You should really cal your Dr and ask for clarification. Correct dosing is vital.

Hi Ladies, hope you don't mind me jumping in!
Crazy level from 1-10: 8

CD/DPO: CD20

Can I just ______ already?!: OVULATE

Signs/Symptoms: NaDA

Explain your Crazy here: FF thinks I may have ovulated, but I've been doing OPKs twice a day and never gotten a positive! Last month FF thinks I O'd on CD23 and I'm starting to think it will happen again this cycle! GRR! I have a 31 day cycle so this would mean my luteul phase is less then 10 days which isn't good! I'm scheduled to go in for CD23 bloodwork.

natalie115

@DenaMaree‌ I know where you're coming from. I used to ovulate around CD 21 and then have a 11–13 day LP which made my cycle seem soooo long! Fx you O soon and your LP is good!
