I am sure your cheats were fine XX! Do you think it was the acupuncture that made you O earlier than expected?

Well, I am not happy about my diet. I kind of viewed this month as somewhat of a break, even though we BDed. I usually O day 13-16 and didn't expect to O CD10!

I think it is a combination of things- not being as strict on the diet (I have only gone over in calories) only BFing twice a day, and the acupuncture.

I am working on being ok not having another child. That is my goal- to make peace with the situation I am in and to be happy with what I have. It's a work in progress....

FX for everyone waiting to test! We should have a lot of ladies getting ready to test soon! I am getting excited for all of you!!

Wow, xx and maiden, you are in sync both o'ing a little early! That's interesting. I know being around other ladies regularly puts you in cycle with them, but I thought it was pheromones, so I don't know how that would happen via internet.

I'm hoping the specialist runs a bloodtest to check all of my hormones and maybe progesterone spit test. Has anyone here ever done that? I'm thinking I'm estrogen dominate or low progesterone and maybe some progesterone cream would help, but I don't want to do anything until I'm sure that's it.

Sage- I feel like there are a few little tweaks that can make a big difference and I hope something like that helps for you

Well according to FF and my own chart and symptoms it is now clear that I actually ovulated on CD 13. We bd that night but only 4 hours after using rephresh. We're probably not in with a great chance, if any are we 😣 another month of nonstop exercise.. Grrrr... I hate that my cycles were pretty regular since I started charting but since last month they are all over the place.

I hope you're feeling better Maiden and XX.. Wouldn't it be the best outcome if you did get a sticky pink bean when you were off track a bit and not expecting it. I'm hopeful for you xxx

Sorry Sage.. I'm not up to date with what is going on with you... Are you spotting before your period? What is happening that makes you think you have low progesterone?

Thanks, Sunbuny! Ugh, I don't know how you do all the exercise. I would choose the starving couch potato option, lol. That's how I was with my dd. I had Lyme at the time, so zero energy, basically laying around all day, and feeling sick if I ate. I couldn't eat any grains, not even rice or potatoes for like 2 weeks. I don't wish Lyme on anyone and do not recommend it at all, but my experience lines up with the HE/LE theories.

I have no idea what's going on, that's why we're going to see a NaPro ob/gyn. I'm ovulating every month, our bding timing is perfect, and my lp is consistently 12 days. It sometimes it starts with spotting. That and the declining temps in the 2ww and my history make me wonder about low progesterone, but I can't say for sure. That's why I want some tests. Also my cm is not what it once was before dd. I'm not getting good ewcm at o and then I get some similar to ew at a certain point during the 2ww, and I do know that indicates the hormone balance is off.

Junie, yes, I'm thinking I just need a little tweak, but what? That's the big question. I keep trying things slightly different each month with supplements, diet, timing, bding positions, laying with hips propped, etc., but it's like playing darts in the dark -- I have no idea how to adjust my aim to hit the target!

I think yesterday was definitely a fluke..phew! I also do see a little progression on my cheap OPKs, though my CBFM and CBAD are both still Low. So I'm at least 5 days away from O still. Not feeling great but that's probably bc I didn't sleep much last night, and it will help me fix my schedule so worth it for sure.

If I HAD Oed I would totally blame XX since I ALWAYS sync to other women, never the reverse. But it is via pheromones and has only happened when I spend significant time with an Oing female or live with/near one. I even synced to my last cat before I got her fixed!

sage, I wouldn't suspect a hormonal balance at all from your charts. Is that the only reason you think that?

Sunbuny your attempt sounds good to me! I don't think rephresh is that great anyway.

[XXforhubby]

Well I am not sure if I did O on CD10. I am waiting to get more temps to be sure. When I was up with DS2 last night, from 3:30am-4:30am, I had SEVERE O pains! Luckily they have gone away now and thinking maybe I Oed then? That would explain my temp being the same as yesterday's when normally it jumps pretty high after O has happened.

Something is happening!

GL and FX for you ladies! Hoping to see more BFPs soon!!!

I usually have my worst O pain from 12-4am and then get a temp rise later that morning. Can you link your chart in your signature so we can stalk you, XX?

sage, having fertile CM after O isn't necessarily a sign of something wrong. I would want some good EWCM leading up to O for a boy sway, though. I assume you already drink lots of water, take fish oil, and have tried Mucinex? Those are all great for EWCM production. You could try sperm friendly lube. I love YesBaby which I used last cycle due to being dry and will use again if necessary.

[Junie]

Sage- The good thing is that the Dr. will definitely have some good ideas/tests to try and hopefully next cycle you will already know enough or be able to make enough changes to get a BFP!
