Re: TWW 5/11

  • Hi! No phantom symptoms yet besides my hubby and I seem to be coming down with a cold:( I am 4DPO and am supposed to test on 5/22. I def did plenty of BDing during my fertile days and sometimes even twice a day so I am really hoping this month is it but also prepared that it isn't. Good luck ladies:)

    Hey ladies!

    I can finally post in the TWW because I think I finally ovulated!!! I'm not 100% sure since my body has played tricks on me before, but I definitely have had quite a few good signs.

    The only thing is that I don't know which day I O'd because I had a temp rise, "peak fertility" on clearblue advanced OPK, and eggwhite cm all on the same day! And then a wondfu positive OPK the next day, along with some sharp cramp/pains on the left ovary side. Today, I woke up at 5:00am and took my temp (97.24) as I didn't know if I'd go back to sleep and I took it again at 7:15am after falling back asleep and it jumped up to 97.72. I don't know which temp to use but if I use the latter one (which is closer to my usual temp time), Fertility Friend puts my ovulation at a few days ago. So I'm either 3dpo or 1dpo. Feel free to chart stalk me and tell me what you think: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/59a9ac

    Either way, I'm going to start progesterone tonight as I'm supposed to take it right after ovulation. I really hope I did ovulate this time but won't know for sure until I go in for progesterone blood test next week.

    Good luck everyone!!!

  • Good luck ladies!  I am probably 1 dpo.  I haven't been temping this month and don't use opk's; however, going by past cycles this would be appropriate.  We shall see.

    I'm going to do my best to not test until cd 30 which is 5/25.  We'll see how that goes as I'm obsessive by nature.  :)

  • I am 9dpiui today so the next couple of days will be tortuous. I poas this morning just to see and of course got a bfn, but I am not expecting AF until Saturday, so it is still too early to test (which I know, I just like playing games with my mind).   I've been taking progesterone for about five days now and definitely feeling the effects, but not nearly as bad as I thought they might be. Mostly just tired and a little rageful (but hey, maybe that's just because people are stupid idiots, right?)  For the last 4 days i've had various cramps and twinges that seem to hit me in the mornings - actually woke me up today. I keep thinking AF is already here because a lot of cm, not to mention I'm taking the progesterone vaginally - so that's been pretty fun.  Realistically this IUI had some issues with timing, so I'm not expecting a positive, but I still have some hope and I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
  • a little late posting but i am 6 or 8 dpo (my temp did a a quick rise and then drop then rise again - so not sure when the real rise started...but close enough). Haven't been able to join everyone on the tww post for a while since we did an ivf retrieval round last cycle. We are trying naturally this month between ivf cycles. 

    fingers crossed for us all!
