Lib, then I cross my fingers for you even more! Hope this is your month! :)) Great news about the ovulation signs, happy baby dancing tonight :P

Miam, how many dpo are you already in this cycle? I heard that in some rare cases, women were able to get a positive test only after long weeks, and some didn't get positive test at all despite being pregnant for months... In either case, I'd call my doctor for sure.

Hi @Tonix93! Welcome.

Welp, STILL no positive OPK, but lots of cramping. Starting to think I already O'ed. Only will tell!

How's everyone else doing?

Hey ladies, well this morning has started really crappy for me. Seriously my dog got into some of my sons food and got diarrhea everywhere. My carpet and yes my couch she has never went to the bathroom on the couch. Then while I'm cleaning up that cause that was fun my son got a pee blow out also. After done cleaning all that up went to the bathroom to find AF decided to show during all this. Ugh! I'm out I hope you all are having a better day than me so far. Good luck to you all.

Ok so last month was the 1st mo this time trying I’ve used opk ( I did with my last pregnancies since I had no idea when I O since I didn’t have the fancy apps back then). Anyway this time-besides opk ..I chart my symptoms each mo just to see what my body does during different times of the mo.

I noticed every mo so far before few days before I Ovulate of course more Cm
But I also get cramps, loose stool, smells bother me, hot flashes, pinching on ovary areas, heartburn & sometimes little nauseated . Does anyone else notice their bodies reacting to hormones too during this time?

Hi ladies! True that, we really do need a lot of positives.

@Lib, maybe you can try to temp to see if you've really ovulated? Or do you have all the other symptoms? Maybe it's just taking its sweet time and you'll get positive OPK soon.

@Bkc, I usually don't have any symptoms around ovulation time, they all come only after and stay till period.

Has any of you ladies entered the 2ww already?

@Veve, I don't temp... I tried for awhile but my readings were always all over the place; I could never see a pattern. It's probably because of my two kids and getting up to check on them/them crawling into bed with us. :) I'd be VERY happy to get a positive OPK... will probably keep testing until AF or BFP. My cycles have just been much much shorter lately so a late O would either be unlikely or a very bad sign for my luteal phase.

How is your cycle going? Any signs/symptoms/worries/hopes?

The app says I’m 6dpo but I just started ttc last month after a Clearblue false positive ! So I’ve been using opks late in this cycle around cd13 or 14! Hopefully I didn’t miss it but in case I did we have BD every other day ! With my cycle last month starting on the 17th and this on the 13th I’m not sure where we are ! Just praying we are not out this month ! Promising symptoms but when u want it as bad as we all do I’m scared it’s in my head ! Btw this will be #3 for us ! Youngest turned 6 in July so it’s time for another!

@Kashiap, good luck to you! :) Did you get any positive OPK or you think it was already too late? What symptoms do you have?

@Lib, oh I see, so then it's no use to temp. If you have other symptoms of the 2ww, then it should be fine :)) Hmm, I think the length of the cycle depends mainly on how long the pre-ovulation phase lasts, right? So if by any chance your O day was delayed, then your cycle this month should be that much longer. I hope I'm right, cause mine is also a bit delayed. I had what I now consider a "false positive" OPK 2 days ago, but it was only one, then negatives, and the real positives came today. So hopefully the O day is around the corner. Do you track any other fertile signs? I'm concerned that all of mine are there between 5-3 days before O day and then nothing... so I worry a little bit that there's not a lot of help to get pregnant during the "crucial time"... do you have any experience there?

Hi there!
Can I join you? It's my first month of trying and I hope I'm going to ovulate in the few next days. My cycles are a hot mess since I gave birth in February.
I hope we all get a beautiful BFP soon!

Hey ladies cycle day 13, estimated o is in 3 days, but i feel it is coming sooner i will know when i get my e.w. cm! The last few cycles bumped me from a 26 day cycle to a 28 day. But hey i will take it! I got ib with both my girls and hope i get it this month at around 9 dpo, which will mean i am on the right track to my bfp for the hubby's Birthday! I won't be testing early this month just drives me too crazy, so i will test the day of my expected af if i am lucky enough to witness ib. If for some reason i don't have ib i will test a week after my expected period(if i don't start), i just cannot keep seeing bfn's! I need you ladies to hold me to it! Lol
