Chart mania!!

Guennie

Ok, I am trying not to get all hyper and excited!  I have been charting on FF and something totally unexpected just happened.  I haven't gotten a positive OPK yet so I have been certain that I haven't ovulated.  But I entered in my data this morning and suddenly my chart changed, and it predicted that I ovulated on day 8!  I guess it's just going by the change in my cm and change in temps.  So I know that it's just a guess at this point and I shouldn't get excited.  But if it's actually right that means I had sex at the right time this month and I could have a chance!!!  Oh, the rollercoaster of TTC!  I know I can't get my hopes up too much because this is the first time I've charted and I really don't have anything else to compare it to yet, but I did suspect I might ovulate early (although that seems WAY early to me...) so who knows?  Does anyone else ovulate this early?  I'm afraid to actually believe it.  I guess I'll just keep testing with the OPKs and cross my fingers.  If this turns out to be correct, then the two days I didn't test are the days I should have tested.  Ahhhhhh, deep breath!  LOL.

Everyone is different, glad you show a definite O, sometimes just having better idea can make all the difference....for me I thought I O around cd14....based on the average woman but of course I seem ot never be average, but I tended to O cd 20ish....when I did O....so I had missing my opportunity for months!

I just looked back and saw that with the 3 pregnanices I lost in the past year and a half, I had sex on day 8 of my cycle all 3 times I got pregnant...so this really could be accurate!  Oh, I know I'm going to obsess over it now.  Sigh.  I don't know what's worse, having no signs or having signs that make you wonder if there's hope!  I did record having cramping in the middle of the night on day 8 and very early morning on day 9, so that would also support o-day.  And when we had sex on day 7 there was so much cm you could hear it squishing (sorry, probably way tmi, but I remember that happening when I got pregnant before and it's another possible good sign!)  Of course, even if this was really it and we timed it right, there's no guarantee it will take.  So I need to calm down.  :P

One of my best friends Os on day 8 or 9.  It is not very common, but it happens.  GL, I hope you get your BFP with a sticky, sticky bean!

Oh, Qzees- thank you so much for being so supportive, especially since I know what a hard time you're having.  I've seen your recent posts and I just want to give you a great big hug.  I am glad your DH is open to trying IVF because in my case, if it comes to that, I don't know if mine would even want to consider going down that road.  But I see what a burden it is trying to decide what to do, and the financial aspect is so overwhelming.  I really hope you can find some help.  Don't give up!!  xoxo

Thanks. He really has left the decision up to me. I just hate the odds. I'm not a gambler and that is a huge bet that could end up in heart ache, not just a big bill!

I completely understand.  It's so unfair that you even have to be in this situation.  Why is it that so many women who would make great mothers end up having to go through this?  I mean, crackheads and unfit mothers are popping out babies right and left, and here we are in so much pain wanting the chance to be a mother.  It just isn't right!

On a happy note, I just took my OPK for today and the line has gotten lighter...I can barely see it now!  That is a really good indication that maybe it really was positive on one of the two days I didn't test!  My fingers are crossed!  If only...

Pretty ironic that I finally broke down and bought OPKs if I missed the positive because I o-d so early.  That's soooooo my life.  I hope it really is the case, though, since the timing would be great.  I guess if it doesn't happen for me this month I will buy the 20 pack and start testing way early next cycle.
