It's going to be another long cycle.

Brittanie · #1 April 3rd, 2008, 01:37 PM

Here I am cd 14 and there's not a TRACE of ewcm. In fact, it's been pretty much creamy since I stopped bleeding. I don't know enough about temps to know what they're doing.

I just hope that it's not another 46 day cycle! Ugh.

my chart

Britt i dont know if youre into this suggestion but maybe check your cervix? and see where it is.. weather or no it is coming down..

Brittanie · #3 April 3rd, 2008, 01:50 PM

Yeah, I do. It's about midway, tilted back a little actually. It IS softening a bit.

I'm just frustrated that my body isn't going right back to the clockwork 28 days I used to have.

Eleysia · #4 April 3rd, 2008, 01:55 PM

Well, I dunno hun. Are you doing the robitussing thing this cycle to promote the thinning of the CM? If so Id say keep a (hypothetical) eye on your cervix and see if in the next 2 days it softens more. No biggie if your cycles are still long. I read that they do that because ovulation is delayed, so think of it as another shot at the eggie maybe? It said that the LP is still the same legnth no matter what...

Also i just looked at ur chart. id say if for the next 2 days ur temp keeps going up then you are o'ing (remember ur temp goes up after the O so if ur trying for this months eggie id say bd tonight for sure!)

I never have EWCM. I even started the Robitussin this cycle. All I've had is very water cm. i think I o today or tomorrow. Hope it comes soon for you, Brittanie!!

I'm not actually TTC this cycle, since DH will be leaving for an internship this summer and neither of us want me to be pregnant and with Erin alone all summer. I'm really only temping to watch my cycles since my last one was SO DANG LONG.

I *am* having what could be O cramping...

I just don't usually not have ewcm. We'll see what happens the next few days.

Danica · #7 April 3rd, 2008, 08:15 PM

I hope you O soon to get back to your 28 day cycle. Even if you are ttc it is still nice to know.

Brittanie · #8 April 4th, 2008, 08:47 AM

Temp went down again. I guess I'm just playing a waiting game.

Stupid cycles.

mom 2 haley & tyler · #9 April 4th, 2008, 08:57 AM

I hope something happens for you soon!!!

mommy jenn · #10 April 4th, 2008, 09:06 AM

Eleysia · #11 April 4th, 2008, 09:07 AM

I haven't got the faintest clue.

I actually took my temp. 3 times. That's how much Erin was up. Geeze. I went to bed at 11pm and read for a while and was asleep by 11:45. She woke up at 1:30am, and my temp was 97.8. I took my temp before I realized what time it was and realized that I probably hadn't slept long enough.

So then she woke up at 4:30 and I took my temp and it was 98.4.

And then she woke up close to 8 and I decided that since it had been at least 3 hours that would be the most accurate and it was 97.9, so that's what I put down.

I don't think that any of them were really accurate though. It was a bad night last night.

eta: The 4:30am temp was after I'd gotten up to change her diaper and went back to bed. I forgot to add that.

Eleysia · #13 April 4th, 2008, 11:30 AM

I think you picked the right one to go with for sure. I dont know hun. I hate to say wait until tomorrow and see, but thats the best. your cervix sounded good, and it might just be the post ov dip. you even said you might be having O pains... id do it all again tomorrow.

mommy jenn · #14 April 5th, 2008, 12:28 AM

i woke up at 4:25am this morning but i didnt take my temp. are you sposed to take it when you wake during the night???
then i took it at at my normal time of 6am. i was hoping it would go up so that it would make my chart look good but it went down... no sign of ovulation yet.... what should i do? should i try and bring o af by using progest and then stopping to cause withdrawl???

Brittanie · #15 April 5th, 2008, 08:54 AM

Jenn, I don't know the answer to your questions!

Well, this morning my cervix is soft, high, and open! Still no sign of ewcm though...but my temp DID go up!

I have this theory that I O on cd 18 and have a 10 day lp, instead of Oing on cd 14 w/a 14 day lp. We'll have to see...

Eleysia · #16 April 5th, 2008, 08:59 AM

sheesh sounds just like your cervix is perfectly ready for the deed!!!! wish you were trying this month. everything sounds great. Mine is dropping down, so now i some reading and see if we missed the egg and thats why, or if it always comes back down... ugh 2ww always sucks lmao.

Brittanie · #17 April 5th, 2008, 03:44 PM

AAAAAAND we have ewcm! Not much, but a little bit. Woohoo!!

Eleysia: I'm okay with not ttc right now. I really don't want to be in my first tri when DH is halfway across the country. When I do get pregnant again I need to have him home.
