I'm holding out until the weekend, maybe Friday? I'm one of those that doesn't like to POAS early. This is my first cycle charting, it looks like I O'd on day 11, today is day 20.
But I didn't have any EWCM, and no symptoms really now. We had bad timing, so I'm actually kind of avoiding POAS....I just don't want to be let down.
Bummer. I don't blame you. I poas once last month----which is a vast difference from the usual 4-5 times before AF shows. I did it bc I was thinking maybe I had O'd earlier than I thought.
I've not had any signs this cycle. No + opts. I'm assuming (blindly) that my cycle is long again like it has been the past 2 times.....Assuming I'll get AF in a few weeks, I'm reallly needing to temp.
You and Texas need to gain up on me and be my bbt temping pushers!! I've never been so confused about my cycles.
Before dd, for a year we were off the pill. My cycles were ssooooo regular---so pristine that we just avoided the 10 days around O week..........and I didn't temp, just watched cm and KNEW that I had 30 dc. This not knowing sucks!!!
I know what you mean....it's so hard to not be sure about what your body is up to. I'm still pulling for you this cycle. But I know that it sucks, especially since things used to work so well for you.
but UH, YEAH, you need to start temping!! Now, I'm no expert at it, but without it, I have NO IDEA if I ever O or not - or how long my cycle would be. It has made me feel a little better just kinda knowing a little of what's going on.
I just figured what day I got up the earliest....then I set my alarm on my phone for that time everyday. I keep the thermometer within reach, roll over and take it, and go back to sleep. Again, I don't know how good I am at it, but it's been helpful so far.
Part of the reason I'm avoiding POAS is that (with the help of Clomid) we have figured out the getting pregnant part. But they don't stick. So I've got real mixed emotions about when I get pregnant again.
Thanks for asking, and I'll certainly keep you posted.

I want to. I know that having a 2 yo will make my charts way less than perfect. I plan to try though. (Which I also said at the beginning of this month).
I am really frustrated that my cycles all so messed up. I'm guessing though that maybe if I could figure out if I'm even O'ing that maybe I'd have more to tell my dr when i go see her. (Was hoping to go this month, but dh's paperwork still didn't make it in 2day!! It'll be 7 days after the stuff is cleared b4 I can schedule it! It's making me sad that I can't just go now!)
I'm sure that it will happen when it's supposed to for you. I know it's hard.....but life isn't always easy. ((hugs)) Maybe we'll get our sticky babies together and move up to SAL and get to be paranoid and worried mamas together!!!

That's the best reason to chart....it will help you clarify things with your Dr. and give you a little peace of mind. If I can do it, you can....even if it isn't pretty. : )
I am hoping our cycle is coming soon! I need somebody to be a hot mess with!
Thanks for checking in on me...and I'll be praying for you!

Re: swanck----still out there??
I'm holding out until the weekend, maybe Friday?

Bummer. I don't blame you. I poas once last month----which is a vast difference from the usual 4-5 times before AF shows. I did it bc I was thinking maybe I had O'd earlier than I thought.
I've not had any signs this cycle. No + opts. I'm assuming (blindly) that my cycle is long again like it has been the past 2 times.....Assuming I'll get AF in a few weeks, I'm reallly needing to temp.
You and Texas need to gain up on me and be my bbt temping pushers!! I've never been so confused about my cycles.
Before dd, for a year we were off the pill. My cycles were ssooooo regular---so pristine that we just avoided the 10 days around O week..........and I didn't temp, just watched cm and KNEW that I had 30 dc. This not knowing sucks!!!
