Age of LO(s): 2, 4
Month/Cycle: month 12 cycle 8
CD/DPO: CD 17, still at least a week away from O
Timing: n/a
RRCS: sorry ladies I'm quiet in our TTC threads because I'm trying to distract myself from the boringness of waiting to O, the Monday motivation thread on GD has been a great outlet. I'm hopeful that I'll hear back about my ultrasound tomorrow.
Confession: the thrift store was having a 50% off sale and I grabbed two brand new pairs of maternity jeans for $5 each. I asked MH if I was jinxing us and he reminded me that my favourite mantra is "hope doesn't make bad things happen!" And since the closest maternity store is an hour away and these were a perfect find, im choosing to be hopeful and think of them as a good sign. I got rid of all my maternity clothes from before because I didn't have much and it was all really worn to bits. That shit is expensive though!

I haven't either. I've heard it can be painful so I'm a little worried. Mine was NBD, and I was super nervous. Very minor discomfort, and the whole thing was very quick. +1 It was totally NBD for me too.

Tlex I love your saying. And I would choose to see the jeans as a good sign too! Sorry WTO is so long and tedious. Maybe something crazy will happen and you'll O early!

charliefox I have so many positive wishes heading towards you! Are you going to test out your trigger again this month or just wait it out? Definitely testing my trigger out again. DNW to have any question about a possible line. Will probably start tomorrow since it'll be 7dpo (8dpt) and too early for a bfp, last cycle it stayed in my system for like 12 days but I who knows.

Tlex I bought a pair of maternity jeans before this most recent bfp, because they were my size and $9 at Old Navy. I am hopeful I may eventually need them, but if not, I'm only out $9 and that would be the least of my worries. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I bought a pair of maternity jeans last week too! They were $10 at target and I have no control with what I buy at target lol. Every time I see them in my closet I'm like I hope I didn't just jinx myself!

Age of LO(s): 2 3/4
Month/Cycle: 27 / 5AL
CD/DPO: CD8
Timing: We're still supposed to be NTNP, so I need to work hard on just letting it happen when it happens. I hate this.
RRCS: Need to start OPKs tomorrow. I want to get an idea of what my cycle is actually like these days, rather than relying on EWCM when we start trying properly again. It's probably changed a bit since 2014.

Huge temp dip this morning so I am pretty positive O is today. So we hit -4,-2,O as planned. SO's post BD comment for today was "I really hope that did it". We've definitely been at this too long.

Does anyone feel like you can tell which side you ovulate from each month? If so what does it feel like? I know you can't really know for sure unless you have a ultrasound but I was just curious. Since I only have one tube if I ovulate from my right ovary I have no chance really of getting pregnant. On the day I got my positive OPK I had some sharp pains on my right side so I'm hoping that was not O pain. Somebody please tell me I'm just being crazy 😬

Have you kept track of the pains? Do they switch back and forth? (although, not all women's bodies switch between ovaries equally). I've occasionally have O pains that feel like strong pinching and last for maybe 5-30 seconds. Other cycles I don't feel them at all.

sunny75 I am pretty confident in my O pain, I have had my suspicions confirmed 2x via ultrasound so while not an amazing track record it's not nothing either. For me if feels like a sharp pinching cramp that lasts less than a minute but longer than a few seconds. I am no expert on having a single tube but a lady on my bmb I was in a TTC group had lost a tube to an ectopic previously and from her I learned that even if you ovulate on the side without a tube, your other tube can still pick it up! I couldn't believe it but Dr Google confirmed its true. Idk if you already knew that. I know the chances would be slim but slim is better than none in this game right? Fx for you.

I am in a little bit of a crazy zone, WDTFAST? (What does TFAS think)
I had a temp dip this morning well below coverline and possibly EWCM, but it was wayyyy up there. I am hesitant to call it that because what if it was left over grossness from sex 3 days ago? I've obviously showered daily but I don't douche or anything so... idk. I find tracking CM tricky for this reason when we're having so much sex. 😅
I suppose it could be one of 3 things: - misread signals - false signals - the real deal
And as per usual I have to just sit tight and stay hopeful.

So this is kind of gross but was the CM really stretchy? From what I've found EWCM should be able to stretch between two fingers but sperm will break apart before it is able to stretch. This has really been able to help me be able to distinguish between the two. Fx you're ovulating really early this month!

I really never had any pains like that before so it's kind of new for me. Last month I felt I had some on my left side, and then this month the right. But that's exactly what it felt like, a sharp pinching. Ugh now I feel like I'm out already for this cycle if that's what it was.

I have heard about the other tube picking the egg up but I didn't really believe it either lol. That would be crazy if it really did happen because the odds would have to be really low for sure.

sunny75 I wouldn't stress about it too much. Our minds play all kinds of tricks on us while TTC. It could have been O pains or it could have been something else completely. Regardless I wouldn't count yourself out based on that. I often have pains that feel exactly like O pains way before O...so really it could have been something else entirely.

They do feel a heck of a lot like gas pains. 😏

Are you doing OPKs this cycle? I'll be curious to see what your temps do in the next couple days. ETA: never mind I just saw your last post, that looks positive. Yay!!
