I go here now. 3dpo. Not holding our much hope here. Timing was good but I just feel like there is no way it will happen prior to 5m of trying. And for sure cant happen 1st one AL. Sigh.
Sending lots of hugs to those of you on the keep trying or not rollercoaster. I can't imagine but admire the hell out of you all. Everything inside me hopes that you all get to walk away from this journey with your arms full
@justarius Jumping in here... do you have a fitbit? I temp and have a fitbit (and Ava, because I'm obsessed, I guess) and it's remarkable how similar your resting heart rate is to your temp. If you only wear it during the day, your rhr will be a couple points higher than it will be at night, but the pattern is still the same. And you can definitely tell if you have an anov cycle. Just wanted to throw that out there.
@ruby696 I don’t have a fitbit but that’s also by choice like @dpjennifer said trying not to go overboard on the obsessing (I drive my husband crazy enough as is with opks) but thanks for throwing that out there. Next month I’m going to try geratherm ovucontrol (it finds ovulation using your spit) with opks and if that works I’m hoping to even get out of peeing on sticks and just doing it with the spit to make life easier...we’ll see how that goes...
@mwmiller4 I’m SO sorry - it’s exactly why I didn’t test with my cramping and spotting with lack of AF just wasn’t willing to even chance finding it to be a CP. Take care of yourself through yet another difficult loss. Again I’m so sorry.
@mwmiller4 Ugh so sorry It seems so many of us are having a tough year. I saw a ton of new messages since last checking in and thought for sure there must have been a few bfp's but no luck. I'm thinking of starting temping but not sure if that will help me much. In the past getting ku wasn't the problem, it was holding on to them. But turning 42 in a few weeks and I feel like I don't have much time to wait. Dr benched me this month as he wants to run more tests. Come on people, I need to get this show on the road.
In other news, I've been having acupuncture lately and she did moxa on me to warm my uterus to get ready. Sometimes I think this stuff is all hippy dippy but man on man was my uterus on fire the next day so something was definitely working.
Well, I’ve been putting off moving to TWW, but I’m CD 23 now, so either I’ve ovulated or I’m going to have an unusually long cycle this month. My first attempt at temping this month has been a failure, I think. Up until a day or two before I was estimating I would ovulate, my temps were pretty steady. Then I got a cold, which I thought would throw the temps off because of a possible fever. But for the past 5 days, my temps have been about a half a degree or more LOWER than by average temp at the beginning of the cycle. I haven’t been perfect with getting the same amount of sleep and temping at the exact same time every morning, but it’s been semi-regular. Has anyone experienced lower temps in the middle of their cycle before?
@kjr9519 I temp and only get about 4 hours of sleep a night. I don’t always catch it at same time either. With that it will change a little but not much. Typically if I O, despite temps being all over I can tell that I O bc it shoots up instead of tenth degree change. I have had cycle where I saw no change and didn’t actually O that cycle.
Well you guys, I'm at CD 38 and no AF. Cramps this week but nothing. Should've had something by Monday or Tuesday. Dollar tree tests are negative. I was going for the I'm not wasting money on a bunch of tests this month. I've been woken up early by various things this week so temping has been nill but the last time I did, a couple of days ago it was still 97.9. I'm just ready to see a bfp here! !
I think I go here now. CD 20. The last few days I’ve had the signs of ovulation but I was trying not to pay attention. I think I’m scared to actually try again. I finally gave in and took an OPK. I got a line slightly lighter than the control. So either my body is trying to ovulate and didn’t or I already ovulated. Im leaning towards my body didn’t ovulate yet. It always tries around CD 19 or 20. But I tend to actually ovulate waaaaay later in my cycle. My body just tries twice a month. So I guess I will wait and see.
@rowedking6 I'm sorry for the disappointment! I feel you! Last cycle was stupid long for me, and got my hopes up. Come on bodies...cooperate! Stop making this so stressful on us!
Thank you ladies really. You made me feel better. @Mack2342, I'm so very sorry. Lifting you up for speedy healing with this new hip and the procedure goes smoothly.
