I did have a little bit of spotting again today, which was weird considering there was nothing before and in the morning there was just a bit of brown blood and then this afternoon there was some pink... but Oh well!!

I'm just gonna keep temping and am expecting some cb digi opks aswell so I can do them and hopefully we can catch the eggy this month!
I think maybe last cycle we didn't catch it cause we hadn't really 'emptied out the old/lazy sperm' (iykwim

) (Well I think that could be part of the reason anyway).

We were stunned!!!

i can't see it

my laptop is knackered so it won't play vids, and my OHs iPad doesn't have flash installed and he won't let me install it

what did he do??

Makes sense about the lazy sperm, and re the period being shorter, I'm not sure, but mine vary sometimes. I think the level of activity has something to do with it. I was really active after I had my second baby and my postpartum bleed was finished after 2 weeks, but with my first it took 4 weeks. I find my periods are also shorter if I'm walking lots or busy, opposed to the days I'm at home

Oh haha, I ordered a kettlebell (this weight with a handle basically), it weighs 5 kilo's and he just picked it up randomly and started walking around with it!!
He even managed to lift it up a bit (well quite a bit considering his size) to put it on his chair!! Crazy boy!! :P I took it away ofcourse cause it can't be good for his back surely, but he'd already picked it up before I even had a chance to put it away haha :P
My husband always calls him 'the hulk'

haha

Hey everyone! Ive had bronchitis

I have lost my voice completely, unless I manage to get out some squeaks that sound like a 90 year old woman. Have had a fever ect.

I am feeling a teensy bit better today...hoping that continues. I havent been temping, and have had hardly any bding this cycle because of everyone having the stomach flu, and then now me being sick. I need to get started though, because I O in 5 days!! Or round about. I dont feel very hopeful about this cycle, but I'll give it a shot anyhow.

Eltjuh · Mar 2nd, 2013, 06:15 AM

as long as you manage to bd around O you should be alright

But I wouldn't put too much pressure on yourself, just go with what you feel you're up to and see how things go! Easier said than done I know, cause when you really want that baby it's hard to give up bding (even if you're ill or something like that).

Good luck, hope you feel better soon!!

Lara310809 · Mar 2nd, 2013, 08:46 AM

Sorry to hear that LoveSanrio; hopefully you're on the way back up now. Are the family getting better too? I agree, don't worry about the temping etc if you're not up to it, but if you can DTD around ovulation then you're in with a chance, definitely. Take it easy though.

Hey girls! I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been lurking.

I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

I'm on CD 19 and I was supposed to O CD18. I've been temping and I started OPKing CD9. So far no Pos OPK. I'm like WHAAAAAAA????

Today I am waaaay above the coverline on my chart. Can I O without picking it up on the OPK? I did have a major crazy mood swing on Thursday. I've otherwise had all signs and symptoms of O, just no OPK.

The last 5 days I've been testing like crazy 4-5 tests per day. So there's really no way I missed it unless it was in the middle of the night. But last month it was positive for like 3 days. So I just can't see it.

I've been using the CB digi OPKs, and the lines are no where near close and haven't changed much in the last week.

The conclusion I've come to is that this is an anovulatory month.

If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. I guess I'll just keep POAS every two hours. UGH, I hate this!!!

Eltjuh · Mar 2nd, 2013, 12:10 PM

Has FF said you ovulated??? I would say it's more likely not to get a +OPK and still O than it is not to O and have high temps!?

Not sure though...
Unless you're ill ofcourse or have other reason to have a high temp.

Fingers crossed you did O, or you still will!!

Lara310809 · Mar 2nd, 2013, 13:22 PM

You can definitely ovulate without getting a positive OPK; OPKs don't work for everyone unfortunately. Until you have a few more days of raised temps though, FF won't put your crosshairs in to confirm ovulation, so at the moment it's a bit of a guess. You could BD to cover your bases, but it could also be that the raised temp is just a fluke, and you're yet to ovulate. Keep doing the OPKs until you see crosshairs, I'd say. Just in case yoU DO get a positive in the next few days.
