*** August Two Week Wait ***

brooklyngirl18

@Taggarab I'm sorry, I have so been there with DH. Men really just don't get it. We are the ones who put in all the blood sweat and tears (literally) and they just go about their day like no biggie. DH is very understanding and patient with me but it's a very different experience for him. We have had that same fight and he thinks I need to 'just relax and stop stressing'. right, ok.

Thanks @ladipale and @AandDM2014 Normally I don't like to invalidate my feelings by saying "oh I'm just tired/hormonal/etc" but sometimes you just know it's those pesky hormones lol

Major temp plummet today....so low that FF moved my coverline lol I prefer where it was before but oh well. Imagine I'm heading over to WTO as I had spotting last night.

Good luck to everyone else!!!!

Taggarab

Oh well. BFN again at 12DPO so I trust its for real now. Just waiting for AF to move back over to WTO. Thanks for the support this cycle!

@Taggarab I'm sorry about BFN, hugs

ladipale

Sitting solidly at 7dpo and resisting every urge to pee on all the things!! Boobs sore but that's a normal post O symptom for me. 

Also keep telling myself this is a "bonus" cycle BC we originally were going to wait until Sept to come off the bench.

So sorry, @rainbowturtles and @taggarab. Hugs to you!

rainbowturtles

@ladipale tbh I guess mine are "bonus cycles" right now, too, since we also were supposed to wait til September. AF is still a bummer tho lol

ladipale

@rainbowturtles - totally! every time I O'ed while on the bench I felt a little deflated

@Taggarab That sounds like my DH, too. I hate to paint all guys with the same brush strokes, but they just don't get it sometimes, even if they are wonderful and supportive.

I've been taking a little break from here because the rest of my life has been very stressful lately- we might have to move apartments again and that is the last thing I want. I passed on going to grad school last year because I wanted to settle down and start a family, and I'm so bummed that neither of those things is happening this year. 

I'm already 10 DPO, and I kind of don't feel like testing yet. I want to be pregnant, but it's kind of nice not knowing if I'm out yet this month. I want either a yes or no, not a 'maybe, check back in 2 days' limbo land.

Hey ladies, sorry for being so absent lately! I have family visiting and I've been crazy busy this month. Can I request a chart stalk though? Remember how I thought this cycle was anovulatory....well this morning FF have me CHs. I'm confused because of how my temps have been all up and down and totally not looking like last months. Is it possible that I did  actually O later than usual (usually O at CD14/15), or do you think FF is perhaps wrong considering I have basically no temps for the first 2 weeks of my cycle. I'll attach what my last cycle (which was my first medicated) looked like for comparison, because it looks so different than this one. Apologies if they are huge, mobile bumping as per usual.

Edit: clarifying 

BornReady

I would guess FF is going completely off of those positive OPKs. With such limited temps, I'm not sure FF has enough data to make a very good guess aside from that. Otherwise, if you had positive OPKs and other signs, maybe you did actually ovulate? Great news if so!

roper2617

@BornReady even though the last positive opk was 2 days before they said I Od? I'm just confused because they gave me a dotted line at cd 16, then took it away when my temp dropped. Oh well, if I did O when they said I did at least I'm not completely out of the running. 

BornReady

You can technically O 12-48 hours after a positive, so I'm guessing they're factoring that in? 

roper2617

Ohhhhhh right. Yeah that makes sense then. Thanks! 

brooklyngirl18

i agree with @BornReady you can O a day or after after a + opk so maybe that's what it's picking up. FX!!

RiverSong15

@roper2617 - I've had a cycle where I didn't get a temp rise until the 3rd day after a positive OPK. Depending on the timing of when you test the OPK and when you temp, it can look like 3 days have passed if you ovulate about 48 hours after the LH surge. It definitely had me confused and googling though. Good luck!

ladipale

Why the hell did I think it was a good idea to pee on a stick at 8 dpo? Negative- duh. 

amberruka

No kidding, right @ladipale? I'm testing next Friday too (even though this was a bonus cycle anyway). The urge is strong with this one! ;-)

ladipale

@amberruka- bonus for me too. We were going to wait until Sept so I can get through school year before new baby. But my EDD is Sept 1 and it would be nice to be KU

@roper2617 hey I was wondering how this cycle went. I don't have any chart advice, I am starting next month if no bfp. Hope all is going well for you this cycle.

So it seems that I am in my tww. Although I skipped clomid this cycle I went in on cd 22 for my progesterone draw and it was 12.3. The last unmediated cycle was 5 so it is higher, but kind of a downer in comparison to my 111.7 with clomid last cycle. It positive for ovulation, but seems kind of low. I am going to estimate that I am around 8-9 dpo going of cm and some odd cramping. did have a bit of cramping on cd 7 and wondered if I was ovulating then. Been tired and irritable, but that most likely related to the depression I have been having lately. Fx for all who are still in.

lilylover27

Well I am over here now and not quite happy about it. I had O on CD16 according to FF which makes timing crappy as I was having O CD13/14. DH was sick around then so no BD within 3 days of O, so guess I am just waiting here now till AF. Chart below in case anyone is interested.

@lilylover27 -3 timing still definitely keeps you in the running! Don't give up hope yet! I know it's not the best timing but you still have a chance. FX!

@crazypt2285 Congratulations!

BornReady

@lilylover27 I know I mentioned this in Waiting to O, but what happens if you take out that CD 12 high temp? CD 14 totally looks possible to me with a fall back rise pattern, which is why I think you have dotted cross hairs. 

@crazypt2285 Congrats!

Yay @crazypt2285 that is awesome!!!!

silentP

Congrats @crazypt2285!!

lilylover27

@bornready it still keeps the O date at CD16 just drops my cover line temp.

@BitterBetty12 really I though anything after 2 was usually no good.

BitterBetty12

@lilylover27 I mean -1 and -2 are definitely preferred, but -3 still absolutely means it's possible. I'm keeping my Fx for you!

lilylover27

@BitterBetty12 I guess it is. I honestly thought O was on cd14 which would make timing way more better because of the initial temp dip and increase of CM so I guess we will see.

SoonToBeMommaHowe

Good luck today @BornReady!

lilylover27

@BornReady thinking of you today! FX!!!!

lilylover27

@bitterbetty12 I also just realized who you were by finally reading the grad check in thread! Ha welcome!

brooklyngirl18

thanks @lilylover27 for making me go back and look. I knew I was missing something, derp! I skimmed over the weekend but didn't get a chance to pay attention and now it makes much more sense.

oh heyyyy @bitterbetty12, glad to see you here.

SnobunnieMel

@bornready we are all anxiously awaiting your results. Fx for you
