I have other children but never had the education or support from other women so glad found this page.i feel clueless, tho i been through it still seems like my 1st time .. Sadly i never knew there was a certain time of the month when u can concieve or what ovulation even was .its nice to have u ladies .. And good luck to all who are trying to concieve.. BFP HOPEFULLY SOON

Hi to all! Our first month TTC, i am 39, and didnt know much about TWW until now, it drives me crazy! I have been obsessing over every symptom (or lack of symptoms), so i better start contributing :-) I am 11DPO, and today morning I felt like me AF is about to come, that intense dull pain in my lower abdomen, which I only have on the day of AF. However it has disappeared within few hours and no AF. BFN today. Our chances are generally slim as we only tried 4 days before O. I won't to be doing any more testing (already did few from day 8). I guess I will hang around here until my AF shows, but there is a tiny hope :-) Baby dust to all :-)

2dpo & yet I have a bbt dip not understanding now that I have had 2 peaks & 2 Positive opk 3days apart??? Is this a fallback?? Yesterday 98.3 today 97.5

Isnt it weird about due dates? Ive read possible due dates on someones bday. My estimated, if i conceived would be oct 17. My bff bday. Mine is the 9th. That would be a great date!
I have temped some but i said before im borderline insomniac. Up all hrs of the night. Can anyone look at my chart or do i have to post it? It just doesnt seem right and where I'm up all hrs it may affect it. Thanks. 5 dpo.

Here is my chart. What do you all think. I hate not being able to do it correctly.

Back to my original username! Yay!

@dragonfly still no AF but she's either due today or tomorrow so I'm not technically late yet... Another temp drop and symptoms have disappeared so she really should be here any moment

@beaut1ful this cycle was still kinda wonky after my mc in Nov. so I was really hopeful but I guess not counting on much. This is month 4 TTC for us. Technically we caught an egg the 2nd cycle but since she didn't stick, I feel like I'm starting the probability of pregnancy statistic all over again. Lol

Looking forward to a fresh start and hoping this next cycle is finally back to normal! Good luck ladies.

@SheRiskers. I bet that is a relief to get your old name back. I really hope AF doesn't show up for you even with your temp dropping.

@Kelliria. By the looks of your chart, it looks like you ovulated on CD16.

As for me, some minor stomach aches and slight cramps. My cm isn't as lotiony as I hoped it to be. Wake up in the middle of the night with a full bladder but don't want to get out of bed as that would jeopardise temping in the morning which still remains to be hovering around 98.2. Still using the progesterone cream and hoping that I am using the right amount. Other than that I don't really have any more symptoms to report. Hope with the lack of symptoms still means anything is possible. AF due Sunday.

Dragonfly23, i really wish I'd have temped more during that time. I skipped the most important week. Im gonna try vaginally temp next month. I did get + cbe opk on mornings of the 13th and 14th and cramping about noon on 14th. I use 2 opks so when i get one solid smiley, i can test next day too. I am on clomid as well. I may have had lower temp on the 14th or 15th had i took it.
But it looks like ovulation did occur correct?

Btw, dragonfly23, thank you for the imput. Hopefully, your af doesn't show up. Hopefully, none of us ladies gets her!

@Kelliria. Your Welcome! I believe you did ovulate. I vaginally temp too, except when AF is here then it is orally. I use the First Response Ovulation Kit with the 20 tests and once I get the "yes" then I know I have 24-26 before I ovulate. The only bad thing is that the machine shuts off permenantly and the rest of the tests are useless. Have a good feeling this month will be it but only time will tell. Temping is tedious as it has to be done everyday but some temp till they ovulate then stop to ease the stress of seeing the temp dip. When do you plan on testing?
