Nursing Mamas TTC January- Roll Call Please Check In - Page 15

Um Ahmet - you nailed it. Your + on your OPK came then 12-24 hours you ovulated, and you have crosshairs showing FF says your temperatures agree. So that works well. Do you know how long your usual luteal phase is yet?

[kel32brown]

Theoretica, you have my empathy.
TTC#6 here with a 2 yo DD. And sometimes 17 day luteal phase, and birthdays that keep ticking on...

[kel32brown]

Kerry, it's awesome to see your pale pink lines on your test. I miscarried around the same time as you in November, and I have hoped you'd quickly fall pregnant again.

I hope this ones a keeper Bromache.

AFM, I'm hanging in on either day 12 past o, or day 8 past O, depending on who interprets my chart. With a 16 day luteal phase, this is one long, long winter.

Judging by last cycle and what I know of my body prior to charting, I'm guessing it's about 14 days, give or take a day. I'm one of those "average" gals--28 days, O right in the middle.

Temp was down this am, so I guess we have to try again next month.

Those are so positive.

After it has surged and dropped. I think that the O happens 12-36 hours after the surge.

grahnola mom, congrats! those are ridiculously positive :

[GMum]

Thanks mamas, I still haven't told DH yet. I'm sitting here wondering how to break it to him gently!

[SoCaliMommy]

I'm still bleeding and i'm only 10dpo not sure what to think it's not enough to think AF just yet and the fact i'd give me a 9day LP when i've had no problem LP wise lately

[Danielle13]

Grahnola Mum : : congrats!!

ok, what do we think...I bd the last 3 days before today. I had a + opk last night, and bad cramping. then a + this morning, then a lighter line in the after noon and no line this evening, but some cramping in the morning, but no cramping now. We can't bd today and not until tomorrow afternoon/evening. Do I still have a chance? or is it slimmer since I can't bd today.

If you BD'ed for the last three days, I think your bases are covered. I mean, it would be better if you COULD dtd today, but as long as you try again tomorrow, you've still got a good chance. At least as far as I've researched. Good luck!

so sorry mama - I don't know what it means either but hang in there as you never know.

Danielle, we only bd twice this month ( DH not in mood) both on +opk, then not at all on -ve and I got a BFP today if that helps any.

I decided to override my chart and realizing this is AF. I think i just had a slow rise and plus i was missing a few temps. hopefully this AF will be like last month and only last 2days that would be nice.

If your AF only lasts 2 days... couldn't that mean you're not really building up a very good lining for pregnancy?? Unless it's 2 very heavy days...

[SoCaliMommy]

After coming off BC pills in 02 i was having 2 day AF's and got pregnant with my daughter, i don't think it matters as long as its normal flow wise, i could see a problem if it was really light but it's not.
Before last cycle af was lasting 3-4days long

Well that must be nice, LOL

I could never understand why it can't just come out in one glob all at once. Why do we have to be drippy and bloody for days on end?

Awwwwww... That stinks. I hope you're right and it's a quick one.

AFM, today's test was a tiny bit darker: http://i41.tinypic.com/2h84vvm.jpg (and I nicked it with my fingernail -- oops!). I'm still being cautious and not going to actually say "I'm pregnant" until I've officially missed my period (on Tuesday) and see it on a digital, but it's looking good!

[SoCaliMommy]

Kerry~ Today's test looks great it's deff getting darker.:

I was also having pretty light 2 day AF's when I got pg with DD and everything was good. This time around, it has only been very light 2 days if that because my body has still been adjusting...I hope it doesn't effect pg.
