Aiming for an August 2012 BFP Part 2

That'll be the fertile week I was talking about lolcbcb (who or what is cb? I just like the repitiveness ) no wonder you're frustrated. I think donuts will help.

Frustrated think I need to borrow your nickname!
Have 3 fertility apps. One says I should ov on 8th sep, one says 11th and the other one 14th
So will use opk. Think I will get even more confused but will give it a go this month.
Already dreaming of another donut tomorrow morning. Will end up with a big bump made of flab at this rate

I guesstimate the I Ov exactly half way through my 27day cycle. And take 3 days either side of Oday, and bundle it all together into a fertile week. OPKs (only done on cycle 2) picked up surge on cd18 which wouldn't even have given time to implant. I checked saliva ferning this cycle, which put High fertile time as cd12.
I havent had EWCM on any of the 4 cycles so far but some women dot get that but I did have EWCM pre coil. So completely confused over that one.
Only way I am sure I have Ov-ed is the pain. i have mittelschmerz due to endometriosis so usually pretty obvious when an egg pops. it hurts like hell
But it doesn't stop me wondering if I am actually ovulating. But I don't have the will to chart temps.

I like to presume that I have Ov-ed. and that it occurs smack bang in the middle week, and dtd as much as I can in that week.

On a fake symptom spot again - I feel nauseous again. cramps and nausea I must be pg have a bug. AF due in 3/4days. Bfn this morning. It's got to be a bug. Ugh.

Thanks Dexidoo, that makes me feel a little better. I've been testing like a madwoman. I'm trying to stay positive but a piece of me feels like I should go ahead and join Sept thread

Ahhhh I'm so confused. I have no clue when or if I even O'd! Frustrated I use an app on my phone that predicts my ovulation and the next af, it was pretty accurate and helped me get pregnant before. I've never been disciplined enough to chart temps ect. Still hopeful, no signs of af yet.

Btw I'm baffled with my cycle too! The only think I'm sure of is cd1. Great for ttc. Not.

Berri have u taken cb digi? I'm having a good feeling.
Had 2 chocolate bars today as well as the morning donut. My only excuse is af!
Checked in on sep thread but not chatting yet. Hopefully won't see u there!

Thanks frustrated

flicks crumbs off face and between cleavage

now you can see how I confuse myself, and the more I think about things the more confused I get

haven't a clue frustrated, you lost me at basic periods

Thinking about it it probably is a myth ninja since last cycle OPKs picked LH surge up on cd18 and I'm a 27dayer. think it might be textbook basic periods for pre-teens, because not many women are actually textbook in RL, but they don't they divide the cycle up into 4 sections?

Hi berri sore boobs and slightly darker BFP is a very very very very good sign. AF due tomorrow? I don't think you'll be seeing it for a while. oo oo oo oo i'm sooooooo excited for you. I reckon your up-duffed my friend!!!!!

stickybeans I found that ovulation was delayed by about 5 days post mc but imagine it varies

I think that's a myth frustrated but I'm not totally sure. I'm sure I've seen it mentioned elsewhere but have no evidence to back it up!

Hi sticky Isn't AF day approx 14days before AF due regardless of cycle length? or am I making that up? 4th seems really early if AF is due 24th.
Are you sure you broke the record? wonders if I mentioned my ridiculously early caving last month

Got myself a prescription for mefalamic acid in preparation for AF, watch me get a bfp the moment I collect it from the chemist now that would be sods law. Still wierd crampy when I sit down. Must stay standing.

Sorry pink will keep everything crossed for you for September

Yes frustrated it's still there....!!!

I think it might be slightly darker than the last 2 days, but it's a different type of test so maybe it's just showing up more.

My boobs are killing me so I'm taking that as a good sign.

Hi Ninja and everyone else :)

I think I've broken a record for bfn last week...I'm confused as to when my O day was because of the mmc. I was told to count the first day of bleeding as my LMP. That would put my O day at 4th-10th this month. Do you think the mc could have delayed it? Af is due the 24th and I got a bfn this morning......

Me too ninja

Me t

Ah that sounds familiar! Think I went there this morning even though af not here yet. Stupid dream building my hopes up!

It's the dreaded Cave Of Doom (or Dispair), that shitty time when you get bfn/AF and mope around and get depressed and angry that you built yourself up for a bfp that didn't show well that's what I do anyway

Oh and what's cod?

Thanks frustrated. Am trying not to obsess but it's hard. I'm
Sorry you're frustrated. I might try the opks again
See if I can get any idea when I might ovulate and dtd every other day and see what happens. No af yet but got very mild period pains so no doubt will start soon.

I was going to say that my cramping has stopped. But I sat down and it's started again. Grrr it's so frustrating.

berri are you still holding that line?

mmm Krispy kremes stick around please [beg] keep me out of early cod. I'm refusing to immerse myself into September Fred until September.

ninja I'm not sure how you can be certain you've Ov-ed. I think Basal Temps are pretty reliable.
You've also got EWCM, saliva ferning, and OPKs, but these 3 don't work for everybody.
Dtd eod seems to be the safest option without obsessing.
