Feel free to chime in, offer hugs, give your interpretation of a chart stalk and share your knowledge! image

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!

Hi, Bug. Hope you are well!!

Can I have a ticket for the crazy train?

Crazy level from 1-10: 7

CD/DPO: 28/9

Can I just ______ already?!: know

Signs/Symptoms: ragey/emotional, but nothing else really

Explain your Crazy here: I was so excited to O this month, and with my good timing I had high hopes. I POAS today, and of course it was negative. I know it's too early, but between that and not having any symptoms I feel like I'm out this cycle. I don't know when I'll O again, so it's got me down.

As someone who also rarely O's on my own, I can understand the hopes & desperation that come with actually finally being in the 2ww. Big (((hugs))).

Ladies complain all the time that "....the 2ww is the worst". I beg to differ....waiting to O when you're so irregular that you never know when/if you might O & then most cycles pan out to be an-O ...that sucks on a whole other level. You have 0% chance of getting KU if you don't O.

All that to say don't count yourself out just yet; it's still early, which I know you know. FX!!! And if you ever want to talk/vent, feel free to PM me.

Thank you @blackbird818‌ It makes me feel better to know that I'm not alone.

@LDubHawksFan  Here's to O!  Happy humping!

@whitneyandconcep FX for you.  I can't imagine the frustration you go through not O'ing regularly.  ((hugs))

@Amybunny30  I have been WTF'ing your chart for a few days now!!  I hope you get answers soon!

Hi Bug!  Thanks for conducting the crazy.

Crazy level from 1-10:  4

CD/DPO:  23/6(?)

Can I just ______ already?!:  trust FF, because I don't

Signs/Symptoms:  I've had cramps for the past two days.  I believe I have O'ed, but that is about it.  

Explain your Crazy here:  Positive OPK "after" ovulation according to FF.  It was definitely positive on NYD (had been getting darker leading up to, and was definitely negative NYE).  I had very little CM this cycle, so I can't use that as a secondary sign.  My temps are up to post-O levels, but just barely.  My new years day spike was due to drinking and temping late, but if I discard it, it doesn't change the CHs, so I figure I should just leave it. I guess I am lucky to know that I O'ed and leave it at that.   

I'd almost be more inclined to think cd19 is O day when you consider the OPK and that it looks like your temp tends to slightly dip on 3dpo. Either way you've done all you can do at this point; now you can sit back and enjoy the crazy 8-}    FX!!!!!

@momentomori‌ I am also fighting with FF today.

@LDubHawksFan‌ fertile window, HIO!

@whitneyandconcep‌ FX for you in the 2WW!

Crazy level: 8 today (it escalates quickly)

CD/DPO: CD20, FF can't make up its mind about DPO. I'm just hoping I O'd at all.

Can I just ____ already? Know if I O'd or not so I can safely start progesterone.

Signs/symptoms: just feeling super nauseated from the trigger (usual for me)

Explain your crazy here: so I had a positive OPK on 12/28 CD11. I took it out bc I had an ultrasound the next day that showed at 14mm and 3 10-11 mm follies. I triggered on 1/1, IUI 1/3. If I put the + OPK on 12/28 back in FF thinks I O'd CD13 (which could be a problem as I had an IUI CD17). If I don't put it in FF doesn't think I've O'd at all due to my low temp this am. But if I discard my temp from 1/1 (falsely high due to no sleep and much champagne on 12/31), it thinks I O'd on CD17 when I had the IUI. I called my RE (because I'm paranoid I didn't O at all) but still waiting for a call back.

Any thoughts on O?

Big (((HUGS))) for the craziness. Honestly, love this is why it is best not to temp/chart on med cycles; meds can skew your chart. You need to put down the thermometer and trust your Dr. That's what you pay him for. I know it's hard. Trust me I temped thru 3 med cycles....do as I say, not as I do lol.

Will/have you spoken with your RE about testing your prog. level to confirm O has occurred (if you really are that worried about it)?

Yeah I called his nurse this am after my low temp (because I'm crazy after all and am waiting to hear back. But I'm also supposed to start progesterone but not sure if I should bc no confirmation of O/would interfere with confirmation of O.

blackbird818

@nikiswimr‌ honestly i think you're unnecessarily stressing. Your RE has been properly monitoring you all along. It may be time to let go of a little control and trust them. And stop temping. I say that all with love.

purplehaze11

can I punch a ticket?

Crazy level from 1-10: 5

CD/DPO: 20/3or 5 dpo

Can I just ______ already?!: pinpoint O already?

Signs/Symptoms: I had thought I had O'd CD15, but Ff switched it to CD17 this morning. Both seem like feasible options, as my regular coverline is 36.2 typically. Chart stalk anyone?

Explain your Crazy here: more a nuisance than crazy, as now I have to wait even longer to test since its probably smarter to assume the later O date for my sanity

nikiswimr

@blackbird818 fair enough, taken with love

renegadewhit

@LauraO11 I think CD17 looks pretty solid for O day. It looks like that gives you pretty good timing (O-1 and O-3).
