AFM - my OPKs are starting to have lines on them! O is coming soon! DH and I are planning to have a sextravaganza this weekend, we already BD'd twice in the last 24 hours! This is such great timing because I almost always ovulate around times where DH has crazy work schedules and we really have trouble getting more than 1 BD in during the fertile period.

Maybe we will be cycle buddies this time!

i give up. 

I still have my fingers crossed for you, I really did see yesterdays line! Are you on Clomid & Progesterone now?

AFM: My DH got home Thursday night in time for BD and got my first +OPK Friday morning, got another BD in last night, +OPK this morning, and planning to BD tonight and tomorrow AM before he flies out again for 2 weeks. It is amazing how well timed this ended up. I am very thankful for my coopertive eggie. I pray it is just as coopertive at being penetrated by a swimmer and turning into a beautiful zygote, fetus, squishy newborn.

[BubbleMa]

cbaa, I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!

[Gemmine]

Go cbaa and Sourire! 

I love hearing about perfect timing, BFP vibes your way!

brichole: I remember you talking about a reduction awhile ago; I hope everything works out! When are you planning to schedule it?

Hope everyone else is having as good a weekend as possible.

[justKate]

cbaa and Sourire, get it girls!

brichole, I had a reduction on one side about 15 years ago.  Definitely made life more comfortable.   Are you going to be BFing in the future?  Just asking 'cause I don't think my surgeon was very mindful of my future ability to BF.  Thankfully, the other side more than compensated.  My guess is they do a better job these days, but its something to think about.

[SilaMarila]

Yeah cbaa!!! Go eggie! Go swimmers go! Go zygote, fetus, squishy newborn!!!

Brichole - I am very interested in your reduction. If it's not to personal and you don't mind, how big are you? Thank goodness, if I'm not pregnant, breastfeeding, am at a healthy weight and exercise often and fairly intensely, I can manage the size and weight of my ladies. But I really struggled with how big they were when breastfeeding (back pain, trouble sleeping ect). I hope it works out for you!

AMF - Still spotting  I have no idea what is going on. Physically and emotionally and "symptom" wise, I feel like either AF or pg is in my future. Though maybe if this spotting would stop I could better tell what was going on! I discarded 1 pre O temp that seemed abnormally high (though everything in my notes says it should be an accurate temp) and FF moved my cover line lower. Now it looks like I O'd for sure and there is a definite temp shift. I don't know if this is giving myself false hope, or it it helps. Maybe my temps overall are lower this cycle because I have been waking earlier? Every day I think maybe I will have more clarity. Instead I am awakened in the night with hot flashes and fire boobs. Only 2 days until a blood test. Though if it is negative I'm still not sure if I will be waiting for AF or O...

Wow, a lot has happened in a week. Since a new thread will be started tomorrow I will keep this short.

to everyone AF found or to those of you who got BFNs.

to everyone Oing or about to O.

Congrats Cygknit!

AFM: I was out of town all week on a family vacation in the mountains of Kentucky which means no computer or phone. I am still waiting to O. Oh, but on another note, my little man is now 1!

Thank you ladies.  I'm still waiting to hear back from the doctor's office.  I got my letter from the insurance company before they did so i'm just waiting to see when the doctor will have a slot opened so we can start planning...but i've got to see if AF finds me next sunday or not....if not then at least i JUST got approved and I should be able to have the surgery done after I deliever and after my 6 weeks...if BF doesn't take like it hasn't the past 2 children!!!  BUT all of that is and IF i doubt that I've concieved this month but hey...it's usually the month you don't think you did that you did so who knows lol. 

sila: It's not too personal...i wear a 40F right now...and i'm only 5' tall...so that makes me LOOK a lot bigger all over because nothing fits like it should.  In order for my insurance to cover though they are going to have to take me down to a B+ or a C-....and that is fine with me...at least for now.  Even after having the surgery i'm planning on trying to have the 3rd child, and every time that I get pregnant my boobs get bigger so i know that even if i'm taken down to a b I would be ok with it because i'd end up a big c little d after having the baby.  About the breast feeding...they told me it's not for sure that I will be able to but that it's not for sure that I won't be able to so it is just a hit and miss on if i will be able to or not. 

I took a test yesterday and it had a thin pink line on it...and i'm figuring it's just a faulty test because i was only 6 or 7 dpo that day so i'm not going to really worry with testing again until next sunday IF AF doesn't show up. 

I hope everyone has had a good weekend....and looking at the prior posts there's been a lot of BDing going on throughout the world this weekend lol ha!!!!  G/L ladies!!!!

ETA:  Can I please be moved to WAITING TO KNOW?  Thank you!

2 DPO today. May I be moved to Waiting to Know?

[finsmom]

BFN on my 30th birthday. Worst ever! 

[SilaMarila]

Big hugs Finsmom  Have the best happy birthday you can!

[jlmschirm]

Just checking in to say I'm still here...lurking.  On CD 26 or 27 or something.  With all the STRESS of this past month my cycle is totally out of whack.  But I am 99% sure I O'd Wed/Thurs. I had a + opk, lots of EWCM and right side cramping (last month it was left side...) I also seduced dh into bd that night...so maybe we're not "totally" out of the game, but I'm not holding my breath.  The totally CRAP thing is that my thermometer battery died Thursday morning - so I don't have any clue what my temps are.  We've been meeting with realtors to sell our house here and I've been looking for jobs in Iowa and I haven't had a minute to get a new one.  So, guess I just wait and see what happens.  Anyway congrats to all the BFPs!!

[cygknit]

Updated to here! Is anyone else able to take the thread this week?

[Sourire]

cygnit - I wish I could take over the thread but my sister is going to be visiting all week so I may not be on very much.

finsmom - so sorry to hear about the BFN on your birthday... that is too cruel!

AFM - OMG I got a + OPK this morning! Like a real ++++, the test line was darker than the control! To celebrate, DH and I BD'd again... that's 3 times in 3 days! This month is just going so much better than last month, hopefully its a good sign!

Last month I had insane AF cramps (couldn't even walk for a few hours), never actually got a + OPK (the darkest line was less than half as dark as the control), and got really stressed about lack of + OPK to the point that DH and I couldn't even BD around O time. THIS month... no cramps! Super +++ OPK! Amazing BD timing!!!! I'm so excited that everything is going so fabulously!

[BubbleMa]

Good luck Sourire!!  :D 

[justKate]

Sourire, yay for the stars aligning for you!

Cygknit, i know i'm a newbie but i can take the thread if no one else can. But i can't start the new thread until i get home in a few hours.

Finsmom, i'm so sorry.

[finsmom]

Thanks, ladies. I'm going to the inlaw's house right now to swim in their pool. Trying to focus on my little perogie today and remind myself how blessed I am to even have him. Just have to wait a few more days to stop the progesterone and then on to the next cycle once again! I have an appt with my RE mid August and I think he's going to bring up IUI. Does anybody have any experience with this? I am nervous, as I wanted this to happen naturally but I think with the mild male factor, I may not have much of a choice here. 

Thanks again, ladies. Your words are really comforting. 

[Gemmine]

finsmom: I'm sorry. I've been there, I was hoping for a BFP on my birthday back in May. I hope you enjoy your day still!

Sourire: I'm so hyped up for you!

justKate: cygknit had threadkeeper's luck so I hope it's passed to you!

brichole: Um, you BETTER keep us updated with the pregnancy test! You got a line!!

AFM: Looks like AF has left the building so now I'm really looking forward to next weekend's sextravaganza for O :-)

[justKate]

Alright Ladies I went ahead and did it; hopefully that's okay.  The new thread is here.

[kfillmore]

Here are two questions, both I read about online

1) i read that most people actually ovulate 14 day before the start of their next period. Does that hold true for you? I feel like that is not true for me. However, I generally go by how I feel rather than a chart pr anything.

2) I also read something about how egg white cervical mucus comes after ovulation. Is that true? It does not make sense really, if ewcm is to help sperm move up and in... I do however sometimes think my ewcm does not match up to an ovulation stick if I use one.
