TWW Monday

Re: TWW Monday

  • Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 33/8

    Timing:-4, -3, -2, 0, 1

    Testing Plans: 10 dpo, I might take a cheapie tomorrow morning.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I went to visit my parents this past weekend so I haven't temped.... so I have no info on anything... I had a small spec of blood in the toilet this morning... I wiped and nothing was there. I have been cramping all week and nauseous. I had a wacky cycle so I hope my period doesn't come until sunday like its supposed to. I have a 1/2 marathon on sat and I really don't want my period for the race.

    GTKY: What is the furthest you have driven and why? 16 hours.. my DH and I used to be long distance.. he lived in NC and I live in NYC... He was a marine
  • Loading the player...
  • @ashbear720   I get creamy and sticky CM off and on throughout my cycle, but it is usually a smaller amount after O than it is before O.



    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 22/8

    Timing: -4, -1, +1

    Testing Plans: 8 more days

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Nothing today.

    GTKY: What is the furthest you have driven and why?
    One where I actually drove part of the way - from Chicago to Dallas to visit my husband's family
    One where I didn't drive, but was in the car - from Chicago to San Diego (and then up to Sacramento and San Francisco) for a road trip with my grandparents and sister
  • Month/Cycle: 7

    CD/DPO: 31/9

    Timing: -1, O, O+1

    Testing Plans: Just keeping an eye on temps. Possibly Fri. if AF doesn't come before then.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm really down. I feel like this isn't our month & I kinda feel like our time will never come. I'm not sure why. I"m tired of being optimistic & getting the same results. This is so hard because I can only do so much to control the situation. Minus sex, everything is pretty much out of our control. It's just hard & I don't want to move on to cycle 8. I'm being so whiney right now & I feel bad because I know it takes so many people much longer & I know it can take up to a year. I just never expected TTC to be this way. Okay, rant over lol Rave/ H & I had the best weekend!  

    GTKY: What is the furthest you have driven and why? From Oklahoma City to New Orleans. We drove down to take a cruise in 2012. When we ported in Cozumel, we got married :)

    @rkstro2 - I can completely relate to this. I was always regular and had a standard 28 cycle, O'ed mid-way through. I wasn't going to temp bc I have horrible anxiety and was worried the temping may worsen my anxiety. However, after some timing issues this weekend, I'm now in the 2WW and I'm not even positive I O'ed. Now I'm going to spend the next 2 weeks obsessing! I'm thinking the temping would actually lessen my anxiety because at least I would know if/when I O'ed. GL to you!


    Eta:QBF

    @MrsRo731 the anxiety for me has been much better this cycle but now this new waiting has happened. I actually had symptoms of "O" after I should have already done so according to my monthly cycle. Now I'm confused. Did I, didn't I? Of course I didn't record what days the symptoms were there bc I assumed they were a fluke since I'm so "regular". Hoping they weren't a fluke and that I may end this cycle sometime :)

  • @callen10210 congratulations! Wow! So many BFPs today. That's exciting!
  • @bbrooke92 ... I have days like that as well and trying to stay positive so that people don't tell you not to stress is so hard. The TWW is always the worst! FX this is your month X
  • @MNTurnsVA I meant I'll probably end up discarding tomorrow's. The open circles I currently have still fall within an hour of my normal temping time, but tomorrow I'll be waking up at 5A instead of 8A so I'm not sure that number is going to be useful to me. That one might be the discarded one. And thanks for the positive vibes from both you and @cait5413 :)

     
     



  • Month/Cycle: 7/7

    CD/DPO: 22/9

    Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0

    Testing Plans: Trying to wait until Friday, AF due Saturday (Halloween)

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I've been feeling different this cycle and have had cramping/twinges since the day after O. Not trying to be too excited though because that has happened before. I also started feeling dizzy and sick yesterday and this morning. I'm kind of happy that AF is due on Halloween because if I end up not getting a BFP, that means I will be able to drink at a Halloween party. So it will help lol

    GTKY: What is the furthest you have driven and why? From Tulsa to Denver
  • ***Sort of TMI question for CM checkers***
     I thought CM was supposed to dry up after O?? Does anyone else have CM throughout their entire cycle?  It didn't look "normal" to me, but what is normal, anyway. 

    I always have CM after O, I'm only dry right after AF until my fertile window. I might be in the minority but it's definitely a thing!

  • Congratulations to all the BFPs! And fx for those of you that are possibilities.

    ***tmi***

    @ashbear720 from the description of your CM, I would be on watch. Meaning, I would probably call my OB if it doesn't go away tomorrow. The thing that makes me think that it's not average is the fact that you said that it is clumpy. And yellow-ish. Just keep your eyes peeled for an infection. I know you're 99 point something percent that it's not yeast… But it could be BV. I never had that, but I would imagine it's probably not comfortable either. I always say it's better to treat something early if there's anything going on. Especially when TTC because you don't want to miss important days. FX

    @BostonBaby1 thanks. It doesn't feel any different, not uncomfortable at all, and I think it's probably a normal amount of CM for a human, just not normal for me... I will check again later, maybe it will go back to normal - I REALLY dont want this to be an infection. I had slightly lower temps over the weekend, and it went back up this morning, so maybe something wonky is going on with hormones? Someone else mentioned progesterone produces the creamy CM. It only looked barely yellowish on the TP, but white on my finger, and texture was like creamy with sticky bits in it. I had the same temp pattern at the end of last cycle, but I don't remember the CM change... Bodies are so confusing.

  • Congrats to all the BFPs!

    Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 25/11

    Timing: O-day only.

    Testing Plans:  I've held out this long....

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I really feel that this is not our month, for whatever reason.  I assume AF will come in a day or two, tops, and I'm ready for the next cycle.

    GTKY: What is the furthest you have driven and why? When I was young we used to drive EVERYWHERE.  From MN to CA for vacation, from MN to Disney for vacation, MN to MT to visit family...  Dad was a big fan of loading us all in the van and driving everywhere.  Saw a lot of cool stuff that way.

    That they are. Perhaps it looked slightly yellow-ish on the TP because there was some urine… Hopefully that's the case! I don't want you to have an infection either! Fx you're just more aware of it now.

    Month/Cycle: 5/4

    CD/DPO: 21/8

    Timing: O-day only.

    Testing Plans:  Nov 1

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Do you think I actually O'd on CD13, like FF thinks, or do you think I O'd later, CD18 possibly? Thanks for the chart stalk! 

    GTKY: What is the furthest you have driven and why? Driven alone, 7-8 hours to visit my best friend. But my family drove out west for 4 weeks to visit a bunch of National Parks when I was in middle school...that was a LOT of driving. 

  • @ashbear720 I have had yeast infections without any symptoms before. The only reason I knew is because I went in for my annual visit at the doctor and she saw an excessive amount of yeast when she did a pap.  Probably not common at all, but something to think about.

  • @FrancesGrace630    Wow.....what the heck?? FF is drunk......I don't know on that one.  Hard to say because of that big dip but then after the dip, your temps all go back to up to above the pre O range on CD 13.  You may want to keep HIO just in case on that one??  It could be the false dip?? or there's something else I've heard around here that the estrogen can dip slightly and then go back up post O so maybe thats it??  Wish I had more insight!!

    Its hard to tell because your CM is so inconsistent.  I can see why FF thinks you O'd on CD13 and the dip on CD 18 could be a fallback rise which is common.  I always get them...got one today probably.  But I can also see why you think O might've been on CD18 because them temps and CM are on point.  Hopefully once you get more info charted in the next couple of days FF will change the O date.  Sorry I'm no help.

    ETA: Why is there an open circle on CD13?  What was different when you temp? Any chance you could discard that temp and see what happens?

    Thanks for the chart stalk @MNturnsVA and @severmilli12 ! I think I will just have to wait and see :)
  • @AshPat0525 thanks! Glad to hear other people still get CM after O! 

    @BostonBaby1 I have been taking B complex with dinner this month and that's been making things extra yellow in the morning, so hopefully that's all it is! 

    @hrobinson7289 I don't think I've had a yeast infection since college and I remember it being unbearably itchy. I don't think I can self-diagnose without any other symptoms... Now I'm just hoping this strange CM goes away by itself!

  • I had a dream last night that I got 2 pink lines so I tested this morning, full well knowing it was less than 24 hours after I explained to my husband that the likelihood of a positive barely over a week past ovulation was insanely unlikely.

    Turns out, I'm still not psychic. Unsurprisingly, 9 DPO gave me a BFN. I'm not losing hope though, my temps still look decent even if my dream was full of lies.

     
     



  • @severmilli12 that open circle on CD13 is because I temped 3 hours earlier than normal because I had an early flight. If I discard it, FF moves my CH to CD11.
  • @LittleMissTimeLord I've had that dream this cycle too! It's what led me to start testing several days ago. Apparently my dreams aren't psychic because I also had one a day or so later about AF visiting and it hasn't happened either. :)
  • @ashbear720 True, best not to self diagnose without symptoms.  I hope it works itself out!  Also, we are on the same DPO. FX for your testing! :)
  • Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 1/15

  • ******* Chart question!!!!! **********

    Month/Cycle: 5/2 since CP

    CD/DPO: 31/4 or 5

    Timing: good

    Testing Plans: I haven't decided yet.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: so, my temp dropped below coverline this morning and I was 4DPO but when I put this mornings temp in, it shifted me up a day for O day. Timing is obviously in my favor but I am still not convinced that was O day. What do you ladies think? Also... I am kind worried about my temp drop. Did I even ovulate? I guess I'll have to wait to see what tomorrow's says. I'm so annoyed!

    GTKY: What is the furthest you have driven and why? from WA to ND and because I moved and visited -21 hours

    I know the feeling. I'm on month 9 and it sucks. I feel like we didn't have good timing this month so I already see myself moving onto month # 10:( My sister and a lot of other people I know got lucky on the first try. I thought getting KU would be so easy. Guess not! It is so hard to read the BFPs everyday I may have to stop contributing to the TWW. I would feel bad doing that because I like to see if I can answer questions or give my advice. (Also I want to post mine if I ever get one, but don't want to be a drive by.) Sorry I don't have any advice, just know I'm right here with you. Feel free to message me if you want someone to talk to.

    Month/Cycle: 9/9


    CD/DPO: 22/8

    Timing: not good

    Testing Plans:  none, just waiting for AF

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Not much to report today. It's just going to be a long week at work. I'm still catching up from being out, month end is quickly approaching, and inventory is this weekend. Fun times ahead!!

    GTKY: What is the furthest you have driven and why? I spent 24 hours in a van for a mission trip but I didn't drive. Personally driving only 3 hrs. H and I have gone on an 8 hr drive for our honeymoon but he did all the driving.

  • @racklerooo to me, looks like ff has your ovulation correct. I had a temp dip like that last month on 6dpo and it meant nothing. Sometimes it can be an implantation dip. If you have more than one below the coverline you may wonder about a different ovulation day but if it's just one then it's not a big deal.
