Ahhhhh what's going on with my body?!???

Yesterday morning I had a neg opk, done another one about 2 ish and that was alot darker I then did a clearblue digi and a cheapie about 4pm the cheapie line was dark but not as dark as the 2pm one buttt my CBD had a smile so I put a + on my chart.

Did another CBD and a cheapie about 8 ish both were a neg.

Today - iv had neg on my CBD all day and neg cheapies all day ... ???

My tempos still low today so maybe I'm Oing today? And had a really short surge ... I have a little bit of ewcm but nothing to shout about at all ?

What do all you guys think ?? Ahhh help

[CLH_X3]

My cervix is not high either it's about medium and I can't tell if it's open or not. I will bd today though just incase ..

Ohhh and Ta for the new thread

[vivica2]

it seems to me like if you had a smily on your CBD i would go with that one. so id say youl ov in the next 48 hours! your cervix may move up tomorow for o day.

good luck!

[Banana731]

I say BD, just in case!

I only got one + OPK this cycle, and my cervix didn't feel as open as it usually does, but I am fairly certain that I O'ed.

So yeah, BD!

[jeminijad]

Well, I am 8 DPO today and got a faint line... on a BLUE DYE TEST. I am perfectly aware of how crappy they are, but I still have plenty of them and they are good for satisfying the POAS urge.

congrats!!

[karmab]

cl - keep on keepin on. of course a pos opk does not guarantee an o, so keep temping and opking and checking cm/cp and bd'ing till you know for sure.

[Blanca78]

Thanks for the new thread and congrats to the July BFPs!

CD21 here, my SIXTH day of EWCM and no O in sight. Please let it come today or tomorrow--I think I'm wearing DH out. I'm traveling and I think that's why it's delayed but still it's frustrating. Has anyone had good luck w/Vitex for moving O up? I average about day 20.

Also, any thermometer recommendations? I don't think my current one is accurate (it reads in jumps, giving the same odd decimal measures every time and nothing in between, like it always says 97.45 and 97.18 but never 97.4 or 97.35, for example).

[lazykate]

I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, as my temp went up though not drastically, and this is the latest that I ever ovulate. I also think I may have felt ovulation pain yesterday evening--it was a sharp, shooting pain that lasted only a moment and was very localized in my right side. Can anyone else who experiences ovulation pain tell me what it feels like? I don't know if I'm actually feeling it, or just interpreting something else wrong.

Please move me to Waiting to Know, in any case!

[Sweet.Bee]

CLH_X3, I can't really help, as this is my first cycle with OPKs, but I hope you figure things out soon.

vivica2, have you peed on anything yet today?

***
Still negative OPKs for me (CD18), so I guess I won't ovulate tomorrow as I guessed. Is there something wrong with me that I O so late and have almost zero EWCM? I have a 13-14 day LP and watery, but humph! I think my cycles used to be much shorter before.

[MountainMamaGC]

jeminijad I hope its a true blue BFP!!!

LazyKate I think O pain can be different for everyone. I get a dull ache in my belly for a couple days right after I O, but some women experience what you experience.

I am about 5 DPO and I have the worst stomach ache. I had one yesterday too. I dont think it means anything but it does hurt. I have to take like 5 or 6 tums to get it to subside.

[karmab]

kate- i feel o pain most months (i think anytime it happens when i am awake, i will feel it) a sharp shooting pain could be it, or gas, hard to say, but if it's the right time, in the right area, i think it's likely. i sometimes get an occasional achey pain that comes and goes for a couple days before, and when i o, it's a sharper pain that lasts about 15-20 mins. then sometimes i feel the corpus luteal cyst afterward, i guess mine tend to get big, and i especially feel it when i stretch or do a situp motion during the 2ww. when i was pg with #3, i sat up quick and burst the corpus luteum when i was 9 wks. that wasnt fun. but it turned out ok.

I have one $ store test in the house. I'm going to test at the end of next week, or when Vivica gets a BFP. Whichever comes first

[MelungeonMW]

Good luck to the ladies entering the TWW. AF showed today. Bummer. I am trying not to be too disappointed. After all it was only our first try. This month we will just have to do it MORE around ovulation.
It was hopeful to have a 12 day LP, though. That is on the longer end of things for me. Please move me to waiting to ovulate.

Littlest Birds- Having any symptoms either way? Have you tested yet?

[WTHamI?]

Sorry MelungeonMW

[KingsDaughter76]

7 DPO for me and not too much to report- I am enjoying not temping and just relaxing thru this part of my cycle. I really don't feel anything symptom wise....think not obsessing is really helping me not get my hopes all up and think I am "feeling" stuff...lol! I will probably start testing in a day or so...cause I have to catch an +'s right away so I can start my meds.
