morning ladies,

9DPO, temp went up .1 degree, woke up today with horrible lower/mid back pains, had really vivid dreams last night, super super gassy today. I also have tons of phlegm in my nose/throat for no reason, I'm not even sick. Loss of labido too....oh and sore boobs too.

 

[nats77]

I overrode mine to coincide with opk's. Otherwise FF has me o-ing before they were positive! Silly computer.

I would go with the temps over the OPKs. The temps are a primary fertility sign and the increased temp is from the progesterone generated by the corpus luteum (follicle remnants AFTER egg is released). OPKs are a secondary fertility sign, inherently less accurate, and the tests are picking up on metabolized LH in your urine... for whatever reason you may have a delay in it getting out of your body. I don't seem to produce enough to even get a true positive with those things - but temps are generally indisputable, unless you are running a fever or have something else making them high pre-o.

Well I think I've just got my positive opk. We bd this morning do you think we need to bd tonight aswell or just tomorrow?

I'd do it tonight and tomorrow, as a bonus, if you're still up for it. The LH takes at least 4 hours to get into the urine and the LH surge proceeds the egg by 12-24 hours (meaning ovulation is typically 8-20 hours after a positive OPK, though read above for more on the accuracy of those...). And I wouldn't stop until your temps have confirmed ovulation, as it's common to see positive OPKs without ovulation (absent thermal shift on BBT chart) and a subsequent positive later. GL!

Sorry, the first one isn't as good... REALLY faint, but pink IRL. BAD indent line i think

 

[kassiaethne]

Hmm i kinda see a line, is it darker in person? And pink?

 

[kel21]

Indent lines are grey, not pink

Thanks! Yeah, I took the override off. Thing is, I don't always trust the 'advanced' setting of FF. Sometimes 'Fertility Awareness' works much better, so I now have it set on that. I am sure I did not ovulate on CD16 (which is what 'advanced' thinks), despite the big spike. Cramping last night, and sore breasts this am are signs of o for me. But I am still getting fertile cm, and with irregular cycles, and fake-outs, I am going to hope I ovulated, but act like I haven't. I might o today, even. My temps aren't high enough to have me convinced. We shall see.

Loro- thats what my first test looked like! I got a much more clear positive the next afternoon- hope this is it for you!!!

 

[turtlemomma]

Just back from the dr. and my pee test was positive! I have stopped spotting but am still getting cramps. Feeling much more positive today!!! Thanks ladies for being so supportive.

Tower- your chart looks great! I would say you could have O a day later than ff says...

Its official Im pregnant!! I almost broke down and cried in the labs area, went to my husbands office grinning like a fool, telling every taxi driver I'm pregnant on the way lol. My husband said we will go out and celebrate tonight together.

Oh yeah I am super happy. Ive waited so long I thought it just was never going to happen

 

[Jean40]

Holy cow, I just got the most painful right nipple in the last hour or so. Wow, that was not expected. I hope it's a good sign!

 

[hopeforbfp]

Omg omg omg Loro I'm so back up on journals I haven't read them in over a week. Eek I can kinda see something on the test and I've never had an evap on a FRER before. I can't believe it. Did you stop taking the metformin? (I think that's what it's called right)

I was wondering where you'd been journal wise!
I have had evaps on them before, but onyl when I took them out of the case, this one I didn't. But less than half of people on CTP think it's a bfp. I don't see how it could be anyways. Maybe it was, and now it's not and I hurt it taking the provera? I don't know. I'm still on the met, day 5 of it i think

 

[ducky28]

Hi all. I'm 28 and been ttc #1 for 11 months. I'm going to wait for af, but if it's not here by 1/25 I will test.

Sounds like everyone has good luck on here, so I hope it rubs off on me!

I just looked at your older charts and I see what you mean about the temps seeming too low for LP temps. I only have one prior chart and am considering myself pre-O until I start seeing them above 97.55 (last cycle's coverline). I think what you're doing is the best strategy you can right now! I hope it sorts itself out soon enough, because I'm in the "when am I going to know for sure I O'd boat" and it's not the most awesome of views!

Congrats turtlemomma! Hope things stay *positive* for you!

Loro - hoping this is it for you! You've sure waited long enough. FX and big hugs!
