WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM, Giving a new RE a call this month
R/R: I’m back! I did a little lurking while I was gone but there are so many new names that it kind of stressed me out. I love to see the board busy but I feel like I don’t know anyone! I’ll have some catching up to do this week for sure. Anyway, we had a perfect vacation and I’m sad to be back to reality. And as you can see, I didn’t get my BFP while I was gone. But now that my work deadline over and this trip is behind us, we’re going to reach out to a new RE for a second opinion. Looking forward to feeling like I am actively doing something to get pregnant instead of just having a bunch of sex!
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 17/10
CD: 53
WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, OPKs, and HIO of course
R/R: well I was hoping with the appearance of EWCM last week that I'd get a positive OPK this weekend but no such luck. Ughhhh. Planning to call my doctor this week - hopefully this afternoon.
CS/Q:
@bows22 welcome back!
@gingermama29 sorry to rhe longest cycle ever 😔
Month/Cycle: 12/12
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: bbt, gettin down and dirrrty
R/R: nothing yet as I am still in bed drinking coffee
CS/Q: CS/Q: Premom gave me a coverline today but I dont believe it as I temp shift more usually and have no OPK. Any ideas?
@bows22 how did you like Disney?!
@legendairymomma hard to say.. doesn’t seem like much of a shift - are yOu tracking any other signs/symptoms that would give you more of an idea?
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: temping, opk, hio
R/R: DH had to go into the office early today so we had to compromise that I’d park the van outside (both cars don’t fit in garage) - going have to warm it up for like 30 minutes 🤬
CS/Q: Welp I suspected this was gunna happen - a temp shift but not above my earlier cycle temps!! Keep HIO until it becomes more clear I think. Opk yesterday was immediately and very very clearly positive and had some right side cramping laying in bed last night - all good signs! Might tell FF to disregard those two high temps a few days ago because both days I woke up having a sweaty hot flash which I don’t think is indicative of normalcy in my bod lol
@bows22 tell us all about Disney!
@gingermama29 I’m sorry about this extended cycle!
@legendairymomma that temp shift doesn’t seem to significant to me. Does it line up with anything else you are tracking?
@canucklehead123 I would wait one more day before disregarding them. You might get a bigger temp spike tomorrow morning.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: FF, bbt, OPKs, HIO, prenatals
R/R: Hopefully work will be quiet today. I have to make a dent on prepping for our upcoming holiday campaign. My new iPad comes tomorrow! I am so excited!!
CS/Q: my OPKs are progressively getting darker but not there just yet. I’m thinking maybe tomorrow?
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: CD16
WAYDTGKU: HIO, tracking CM and BBT
R/R: It’s Monday and I have no motivation to do anything. I was suppose to get up early and have some alone time before the day gets started. Yesterday I mopped my floors and as soon as I got the mop and bucket put away the puppy promptly pooped in the corner. 😑 He is so lucky he is a cutie pie. It’s dipping into the 20’s for the highs here and the teens for the lows. I really hope we stay above zero this year. I have been buying more winter gear because we plan to keep hiking the trails this year. Although, I can already feel my cold urticaria kicking in after being outside with temps in the 30’s. So this should be fun. DH keeps telling me to take a antihistamine but I can’t at the moment.
CS/Q: I’m pretty sure I will get a shift tomorrow or the next day at the latest. I have had my typical O CM pattern and I only expect 1 more day of CM so ovulation has either happened yesterday or will happen today. Either way, our timing is great.
Thanks so much!! I have never had this happen so I had no clue. I will keep an eye out but y'all gave me hope. Hubs will be happy to get more bangin time in 😂
Ill put a table of temps in the spoiler
@legendairymomma I’d keep DTD for sure!
@canucklehead123 I agree with the others to give it a few days. FF loves + OPKs so I think it will still
give you CHs even if they are dotted.
@emera@emeraldcity1214 our puppy is mostly trained but when he does have an accident I’m just thankful when it’s on the hardwood and not the carpet!
@canucklehead123 yay for a finally positive OPK! I'd discard those temps too.
@daisy528 oooh that's so exciting about your new iPad!
@emeraldcity1214 oh no, what a stinker! Glad it was at least an easy to clean spot.
@bows22 I'm glad you had a great time! What a small world it would be (haaaaa I'm punny 😂😂) if you happened to see my parents there. No way to know obviously but I like the idea. I'm currently on my second cycle.
I updated the IF thread, but I'll mention it here that I did call my doctor (or rather the nurse's line) and have an appointment scheduled to see the OB in 2 weeks. So now I play the waiting game.
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: hio, cm, FF, and will start temping this cycle
R/R: With AF arrival today, I’m back to CD1. It was a short 24d cycle last month, so while MH maintains I O’d later and nicely informed me this morning that we didn’t DTD at the right time, I’ll maintain that he’s clearly wrong. 😅
CS/Q: nothing. I ordered a BBT thermometer today from Amazon. With their delayed prime shipping, it’ll be here Thursday. That would mean I could temp starting CD5, which I assume would ok to get a baseline established. Thoughts?
@gingermama29 glad that you got an appointment set up! Hopefully you’ll be able to get to the bottom of things and move on from this cycle.
@daisy528 so eliciting about the iPad! I’m in the market for a new laptop or tablet but can’t decide which I want
@emeraldcity1214 at least it was #2 and not #1. I’ve always been less upset when there’s something solid for me to pick up whenever we’ve had puppies
@emmylou78 don’t you love when the men think they’re always right??
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 24
WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPKs and HIO
R/R: Opened at work today but it actually wasn’t too busy so it was a nice day. My OPK this morning was pretty faint but when I tested around 3 this afternoon it was almost as dark as the control so I’m hoping O is coming soon. I had kind of resigned to the idea this was an anovulatory cycle but maybe there’s some hope after all.
Month/Cycle: 6/7 since TTA
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: basic charting, OOD, thats really it.
R/R: just annoyed that I'm here. I really thought last cycle was the one, even though our timing wasn't perfect. It just felt like it would be the one!
CS/Q: if I've had a loss, do I count those months too? I had to TTA for awhile so I've been counting the months I've been trying since TTA. I'm sure everyone just does what feels the best for that answer?
