UPDATE post 1- taking a shot at conceiving on CM

kristenpie · #1 February 9th, 2012, 06:25 AM

Because no woman can be pregnant without a FRER test...

Now it's official.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this is only my third PP cycle and I am hoping to get pregnant but ovulation is all totally a guessing game.

My first cycle was around 40 days or so. Second cycle was 34 days with EWCM and ovulation pain on CD 23-25. I am on my third cycle and noticed a ton of watery/slimy CM on CD 17-18, but no ovulation pain. We tried on CD 18.

I am not even sure I ovulated then but it is now CD 25 and there hasn't been any fertile CM since the 18th so I feel like I must have.

Rewind to when I got pregnant with Sam. Same situation, was only my third PP cycle and I got pregnant, although I was temping that time so I knew I had ovulated.

Anyway, I am totally winging it here but I figure I may as well have fun with it, right? If it doesn't work this month, I will go buy a BBT and go all out. Didn't get around to it this month.

So is ovulation day typically the last day of EWCM, or the day after?

So here is my very boring chart.

I notice CM going creamy or completely dry within a day or two of when I think O took place. Good luck! You seem to be good at reading your body.. and catching the right timing.

The link didn't seem to work for your chart though.

The link didn't work for me either.

Sounds to me like you O's. I notice it being like egg whites and then creamy to around O.

I am having signs of O right now....maybe we will end up in that same ddc.

I have about 20 ICs so I tested today at 8 dpo and got an evap.

I'll test again tomorrow. Why not.

Might as well. I say "if ya have em, pp on them"

kristenpie · #6 February 10th, 2012, 02:15 PM

Have you ever used Wondfo tests?

kristenpie · #7 February 10th, 2012, 03:12 PM

Ok this is my last time TTC so I am going to go all out with it.

I tested this morning with FMU and got a line after about 10 minutes. I tested again at around 5 and can't say I see anything.

Top- AM, bottom PM.

Yes, this is only 8 days after we TTC, I don't care.

As I said, I'm going to have fun with it.

I used wondfo tests most of the time. They have better ratings..but over the past 6 months they have changed their packaging and their tests. I am not a fan anymore. They were the ones that gave me some false positives last month. Right now I have a few early detection tests left.
I see a hint of something up there. What did today show?

PS: i still don't see your chart.. but on my phone I saw a chart up there, but it was mine. Weird. lol

It sounds like you've timed well based on CM. I've never used that type of test, but I'm totally in support of peeing early and peeing often.

I'm not seeing anything yet on the pics you posted, but then I rarely do. Let's see todays!

kristenpie · #10 February 12th, 2012, 04:10 PM

slight shadow of a line, not as noticeable though.
i'm going with evap, for sure.
we will see what tomorrow brings. this is fun.

kristenpie · #11 February 13th, 2012, 06:50 AM

I will post this mornings test when I get back home.

IneedCoffee · #12 February 13th, 2012, 07:02 AM

Hmm... so little info, makes me think you have something to share.

1stbaby · #13 February 13th, 2012, 08:11 AM

Oh, I think something good is coming.... Stalker here.

sleepybear · #14 February 13th, 2012, 08:13 AM

Are you home yet??

IneedCoffee · #15 February 13th, 2012, 08:21 AM

O... M.... G........ she drives slow.

TheMommyProject · #16 February 13th, 2012, 08:36 AM

Oohhhhh!! Must be a good pic to share, or at least it better be with that tease!

kristenpie · #17 February 13th, 2012, 09:22 AM

hehe.
ok i am not claiming these are positives, but they aren't negatives either.
unfortunately, they aren't showing up in the photos, but here we go anyway.
this was FMU.

and then a few hours later

i don't expect anyone to see anything. but something is there. if heather got evaps on these though, i'm guessing these might be duds and i need to go get a frer.
