Your chart is amazingly beautiful and I would just about kill to ovulate as regularly as you do! (It's CD21 and I got my darkest but nowhere near posititve OPK today. The line tends to come and go until somewhere between CD25 and CD45
)

thanks so much, because! i'm afraid i'm not tech-savvy enough to scan in a photo. it's still a pretty clear line (yes, i keep checking every hour or so
it still seems so unreal) -- and it was a FRER (first response)...

btw, i used OPKs twice a day this cycle for 6 days, and never got a positive. but my cycles have always been super-short since my PPAF (just over a year ago), so i guess that made it easier to pinpoint the O.

my EDD is dec. 4 according to ff. (conveniently wedged among thanksgiving, chanukah & christmas, all of which we celebrate
)

hope you can join me in the december DDC soon.
to you and all the other nursing mamas!

Congrats chic2chic!!
:

I am pretty sure I O'd this month for the first time since DS was born. Can I be moved to 2WW? I keep feeling symptoms, like I was nauseas over the weekend and I've had very light cramping, and now I am exhausted. But I haven't had a period since Oct. '05 so I can't really remember what that is like. Or if I am just imaging the whole thing...

Congrats Chic2Chic!!!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. AF just ended so I'm just waiting to see what happens now. Hope I've atleast got everyone in the right spots on the 1st post. I'm trying to keep up

I took an O predictor test today and only 1 line--so I guess no LH detected. Going on 75+ days since last AF. This is sooo disappointing after having 5 good AFs PP (after waiting 28mo+ PP!). Again, I think that stress may be to blame but I have been doing all of the right things to relax and still no AF. Agh.

The last day my nipples have felt hard and dry. When dd latches on it is pretty painful and I am feeling nauseus.
I know how you feel! Last month I was SO stressed and had EVERY symptom that I was pregger only to have af rear her ugly head!
Hang in there! Do something relaxing for yourself - it makes a world of difference!

CONGRATS chick2chick!!!!
I'm so happy for you!!!

So not much here - I got another thermometer and tried to start temping but the whole consistency aspect was lost as first one child was sick, then the baby, then me!
Thankfully we seem to be hitting the tail end of it - but this month is a no go for charting.
: (Oh how I do love our smilie list though!)
:

Question on cm and cp...I had really good ewcm 3 days ago on cd 11...but last night noticed my cervix was SOOOOO open (cd 14) with very little cm
So did I O with the cm, or was the cp a better indicator? I am SO confused.
 
#187 ·
Went to the Dr's for a possible bladder infection (neg) last night and got sent for a blood pg test... So I'll get the results of that sometime today... A lil stressed about hearing I'm for sure not pg...


How for sure would you feel about a neg blood test at 11 dpo?
 
#188 ·
I think I may be ovulating! This would be my earliest one in my whole adult life (at CD23). I have a positive OPK today (it was almost positive yesterday, that's why I took one in the a.m.) and I'm getting back to temping so I'll know if it happened in a few days.

Don't move me or anything, I just wanted to share that!


C'mon, Mamas, there's only one week left to get more success stories. Who's testing soon?

Today is only cd8, but I started haveing ewcm yesterday & I had some ewcm also with the the begining of AF.
I am getting over a cold & still have a slightl runny/stuffy nose. Does anyone know if haveing excess mucus in my body could mess w/ my cm?

risen_joy Was the ewcm 3 days ago & nothing since? Hmmmm... I would guess if you were open & had even a little cm that would be a better sign than just the cm, but I don't know.

I'm sorry! I don't have much experience w/ blood tests so I don't know. Did they tell you what your numbers were or just that it was neg?

How exciting!

"OSTC

The urine test for an infection was neg... I'm waiting to hear back about the blood tests ( I have a have an appointment at 3:30, but he said he'd call me if he got the results sooner...) I'm just afraid that it will be neg...
I didn't get a bfp urine test till I was 5 weeks w/ my ds, so I think even if by some chance I'm pg, that it's to soon.... I'm going to make sure I ask for the number if it's neg though, as I had a blood test like a month and a half ago & it was 0....

Oh, I see. Well in that case I'm glad the test was neg & hope you get a pos blood test.

Hi, Can I join? I am hoping for another december baby (DD was 2 in december). I think I am in the 2WW. I'm going to start charting next month!
 
#194 ·
I'm on CD 12, and I still don't really notice any external mucous. I had some internal tacky mucous. I was hoping to have a normal cycle this time, but since it's my first cycle pp, I guess I just have to accept that I have a longer cycle, and it may take me longer to ovulate. Arrghh.

It was pretty significant 3 days ago and then a little on the 2 day and 1 day mark but not much. It's so frustrating knowing you can time the bdancing perfect and still might not get preggers!!

KSLaura Welcome! Hope your stay is short.

OSTC
I am so sorry! Atleast you caught it now rather than it getting worse & REALLY causing problems.

Well we will see how this cycle goes. DS is sick & is nursing for litterally hours at a time during the day.

I'm so sorry!!

We're on CD 13, and no real signs of ovulation. ARghhh...

Hi everyone! I just read the last 4 pages of this thread (I haven't been online for 2 weeks!).

First of all: congrats to the BFP's!!!

As for me: AF came about 10 days ago, but my LP was 12 days that cycle. It had been consistently 11 days, but I took 100mg of Vit B6 to help lengthen it. So, it must have helped. Who knows.

Good luck to everyone!!

Laura

P.S. Can you move me to Waiting to O? Thanks!
 
#201 ·
Congrats Chic2chic on your BFP!

I think my stay with the nursing mamma's may be shorter than I planned but not b/c I got a BFP. DS has not nursed for 3 days so I think he is weaning. CD 7 for me so I still have a while to wait for my "O". Kamie
