Monday Crazy Train *

PinkCamino · September 2014

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!

Not really too crazy, but:

Wahhhhhh why couldn't my temp just stay up this morning???? (

BOOOOOOO although today looks like a good O day. I wouldn't be surprised if you see a spike in the next couple of days

Crazy level from 1-10: Does bitchy count as crazy? If so, 10!

CD/DPO: 30/14

Can I just ______ already?!: GET AF

Signs/Symptoms: bitchiness, sore boobs, bloating, general rage

Explain your Crazy here: This is our last cycle TTA. Since I started charting last year, my LP has been on the short side (sometimes as short as 9, rarely longer than 10 days). Now, of course, when I actually want AF to show, that punk-ass bitch is being coy.

I am 14 dpo and I know I can't be KU (we used condoms FFS and didn't even have any sex during my FW). Also, apparently if your LP is too long, your cross-hairs go dotted! Mine went dotted today. I realize it would help if I had a few more temps after O. But I'm fairly certain I O-ed on CD 16. The only other day I could imagine would be CD 18. Either way, AF should be on the way.

I'm supposed to call the RE on CD1 to schedule my hysteroscopy and order meds for my first medicated cycle. We were planning on IUI this cycle with Femara and trigger, but now it looks like the timing's probably not going to work out, now that AF has decided to take her sweet time. I have to travel to a book festival I'm presenting at the weekend of Oct. 3-5, so even if I get AF today, it looks like we may be gone during what would be key monitoring time.

*Deep breath* I guess worst case scenario is we have to wait one more month to try IUI and meds. I'm just so frustrated about having more waiting and more hoops to jump through. Sigh.

FX AF shows soon!

I'm not 100% convinced that CD16 is O day though. The open circles plus the one OPK don't satisfy me

It's very possible that you would have gotten an extra OPK or two which could push O to C18.

Yeah, I agree CD18 could easily be O day. Especially since my post-O temps are usually around the 98 degree mark. I was not very fastidious with charting this month since we were TTA, and I was using super crappy OPKs from China (even cheaper than Wondfo). Either way, AF should be here soon. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Not punching my ticket here yet, but I was hoping one of you ladies could possibly tell me how to link my chart on my siggy? I've been trying and trying but it keeps coming out looking weird or not working.

Good Morning! @bookishmama I hope AF shows up soon. I"m sorry to hear about your frustrations. Hopefully the next month will work out for you!

My Crazy: another positive OPK this morning.....my temp has not spiked yet so I doubt I have O'd. Just frustrated because DH has so much going on this week and its probably going to affect him being in the mood for sex.
