**Weekend Crazy Train**

BethKate2

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!

@kateisoptimistic, looking at some of your past charts, it seems like your post-O temps are usually up in the 98s, so since your temps are still in the 97s, and you're still getting EWCM, it's possible you didn't O yet. I wouldn't be surprised if you get another temp jump and FF moves your CHs. Good luck!

FX for you @kateisoptimistic!

Crazy level from 1-10: 6

CD/DPO: CD4

Can I just ______ already?!: understand

Signs/Symptoms: None

Explain your Crazy here: I was so excited to get my first CD1 after my MC at exactly 4 weeks (although it came with only a 9 day LP which is scary).. but it only lasted 2 days. Can I count that as AF? I did certainly have a temp drop and PMS prior. It was heavy on day one, medium on day two, and very very light spotting if any yesterday. Is it pry b/c of my short LP, or unrelated. My biggest worry is the crazy B sneaking up on me again in a couple days with a vengeance!... (actually my biggest worry is that my body won't be ready to TTC this cycle, but we'll see I guess.)

 

BethKate2

@matiekae, I'd call it a period. FX you're cleared to TTC this cycle.

stinybean

FX @Kateisoptimistic‌!
@matiekae‌ My periods have been like that since my CP in June until this month.

Hello @BethKate2‌!

I have a question. This is my first month tempting and FF just marked my O day as a couple of days ago when I had a temp rise. Now this is not good because I had an IUI yesterday.

The RE measured my follies and two got bigger since Wednesday (the day FF marked as O) & the other was the same size. Here's my question: would the follies still be there if I already O'ed.
Please note that I saw RE Monday and Wednesday and had BT for estrogen and lh surge.

I have my FF chart in my siggy if you want to check it out. I understand if you don't know the answer.

I guess I'll punch my ticket again today!

Crazy level from 1-10: part of me is a 10, part of me isn't really crazy at all... Let's call it moody!

CD/DPO: 29/10

Can I just ______ already?!: know

Signs/Symptoms: Again, nothing I can take seriously due to progesterone

Explain your Crazy here:  Self-admitted early tester... trying not to feel "out" yet for this cycle, but having a hard time w/that b/c I've always tested this early before

matiekae

@BethKate2 Thanks!! 

@stinybean Thank you for your input, that makes me feel a lot better. It seems crazy to complain about a two day AF right?! I wish I had something to say to your post that would make you feel better too, but I think your situation is over my head. FX for you!!

@mrsjg2013 I have been known to early test as well. Hang in there, FX for you!

Crazy level: 7
CD 26/ DPO 3 (according to ff)
Signs symptoms: none
explain the crazy: I'm on my last tta cycle and usually have 45 day cycles. DH and I were going to stop dtd at CD 26 (today) and wait until after I o. Well on Wednesday ff told me I o'd on CD 20 (2 days after dtd). This morning's temp changed my o to CD 23. I wasn't going to waste opks on a tta cycle, but now I don't know if I actually did o or if ff is just screwing with me. Now I'm also worried because if I did o anywhere close to the last time we dtd then I didn't listen to my dr very well. Ugh

Punching a ticket, but not too crazy, more confused. I've been having weekly blood draws since my miscarriage, because my levels have been taking their sweet time. I miscarried on July 31, and my last hcg test was Thursday, and came in at 96 (8 days before that is was 490, so seems to be dropping quickly). Anyhow, I got AF this morning, no question. While I'm happy she's here after a long 50 odd days, I'm a bit crazy since I know I have to have some hcg in my system. I can't seem to find a ton of info on hcg levels with menstruation either. Anyone?

tlc35

@mrsjg2013 I am right there with you on the 10dpo crazy train! Symptoms that I know mean nothing.  My temp spiked this AM but I also slept really bad so that could be why, but BFN this AM.
I know it could be too early so I'm back and forth between feeling out and feeling optimistic.

BethKate2

@stinybean, I know very little about follies, so I don't really know the answer to your question, but do you have a link to your chart?

@mrsjg2013, I'm always an early tester too. FX for you!

@tlc35, sorry about the BFN, but 10dpo is early.

@LauraO11, I'm pretty sure you can get your period with some residual hcg in your system. When's your next blood draw? Next week?

@Nieko0423, Looking at your temps, I'd say CD 21 is your most likely O date.

stinybean

@BethKate2‌ the link should be in my siggy. I'm mobile now so I will post later with the link if that doesn't work.

BethKate2

@stinybean, it doesn't look like it's there, unless I'm just not seeing it. You have a ticker, but it's not a link to your chart.

stinybean

I don't know why I can't insert the url into the pic box. @BethKate2

eta: WHAT ARE THESE BOXES???

rslh10

@stinybean I've been told that FF can give you CH's on certain days, but based on the information that you keep putting in, it could move them to another O date. 

I think you're asking if you had O'ed on Wednesday like it said, if the dr would have been able to see your Follies on the u/s when you went in for your IUI? If I read that right, No. If you Ovulated already those follies would be either gone, or they would be caved in and weird looking. 

Your abdomen could have had some fluid in it too (fluid from the inside of the follies called "follicular fluid"). I would say that just based on your inputs into ff, and the fact that it's your first cycle temping (and a medicated one) that your O date will probably move. BUT I'm just basing this off what I've been told on here, and also my experience with follie scans.

Plus you had the trigger shot too, right?

I think you're safe

stinybean

Yes @rslh10 that is exactly what I'm asking. I also know I sucked at taking temps at the same time on the first couple of days. But it also bothers me that I had sticky cm on Wednesday and that's another reason why I feel like FF said O was Wednesday. But you're saying the follies wouldn't have been viewable yesterday, if I O'ed Wednesday.

Thank you : ) You always know how to put me at ease.

purplehaze11

@BethKate2‌ , I'm pretty sure it is next week but I need to call my OB on Monday, as he has been doing it week by week based on the betas.

stinybean

Does this work @rslh10?

nope! still the ticker! @stinybean

Crazy level from 1-10: 4

CD/DPO: CD21/DPO4

Can I just ______ already?!: know already? 

Signs/Symptoms: Nothing - only 4 DPO  

Explain your Crazy here:  Here's my question to you ladies.  Last month was my first month charting.  My temps after O were a lot higher than they have been this month (mid 98s vs. upper 97s)  Does this matter?  I don't know a whole lot about charting, but I'm wondering if the actual # means anything or if it's just the fact that there was a temp change?

BethKate2

@CreechMommy, the actual temps don't really mean much. It's the sustained temp shift that you're looking for. If you look back to last cycle, though, your temps were in the upper 97s right after O, so your temps this cycle might end up in the same range that they were last month anyway.

jjbmstinco

@mrsjg2013‌ -I just came in to stalk you. Your chart is looking FANTASTIC!

beemaya83

@creechmommy interpreting charting can get tricky (at least for me)! Last month FF took my crosshairs off! Part my fault as I changed from a regular thermometer to a bbt thermometer mud cycle. I'm hoping I get the hang of this soon!! Based on your chart, I think you definitely 0'd this month. I hope your temps stay up! FX for you Today: CD 12 Can I just get my crosshairs already? My crazy: AF came at CD 26 last cycle. My average is 30-35. I've been doing the deed earlier this cycle and got a +OPK today. I have a feeling this cycle will be short as well. I'm nervous because if it's a longer cycle, I have to keep DH in the "mood" for at least another week.... Timing sex puts so much pressure!

BethKate2

@beemaya83, timing sex is stressful, for sure. It sucks. If you got a +OPK today, though, hopefully that means you'll ovulated in the next day or so. GL!

mrsjg2013

Thanks @jjbmstinco‌!! FX for tomorrow AM!!
