Kayotic-How do you know you were supposed to ovulate at 4am? How can you be that precise?

I was literally just about to ask that same question. I'd love to be able to nail down a timeframe!

I dont ovulate without a trigger shot. I took it at 4pm Wednesday so 36 hours would have been 4am this morning

Ahh, that makes sense. Darn. I was hoping there was some new high-tech tool out there.

Erose look up Ovacue it's pretty cool cuz it test temp and everything so it will pin point O!!!
But u have to put it in your VAG!!!
I know some ladies who used it to pinpoint O so they could do O+12 for a girl and it worked!!

Kayotic I too Od early but I got a +++ at 6Pm took my shot at 10Pm like they told me but my body still Od at 6Am 36hrs later from my Natural surge!!!
I think it just depends how big your follies where and did u test w OPKs b4 u triggers maybe u where Oing on your Own!!

Yeah, Id been using OPK's.
I went for my cd12 scan and my 1 follicle was 16mm. They told me to trigger that night but I felt it was a little too small so I waited another day. I wasnt even close to a +OPK. I took another OPK 4 hours after trigger and still nothing.
I did the shot intramuscular instead of subQ so maybe it metabolized quicker?
I supposed its also possible my spike was a fluke because my temp was only slightly higher when its usually half a degree higher so who knows!

I hopefully got all my bases covered!

 

[Sis4Us]

Yea 16mm is a lil on the small Side but the trigger should boost b4 release!!

My OPK is always blaring after the shot like Neon but I do wait until the next Am so IDK

FX u got that Eggy!!!

Thanks I figured by waiting a day, at smallest, it would be 18 by time trigger worked and at best, 22.
I am a little sad because I usually have 2 mature follicles, but I'll take one since I have no choice, haha.

My lining was also 7.9 so Ive been taking baby aspirin and 3 cups of red raspberry leaf tea.
I have progesterone suppositories but I havent decided if I will use them or not.

 

[Sis4Us]

I have to use the P Supps when we do IUI my Dr insists on it I don't really care for them but if it will get me a BFP so be it!!!

 

[terripeachy]

HA!!HA!! Yes, I also thought the mystery would finally be revealed. hee hee.

I'm glad a bunch of us do different things and have tried different things so when it's our turn, we have resources to go to. It seems I'm just a total sap today. Am I pregnant??

Ha, sorry. Ive been at this 7 years so not much mystery left

 

[VJean]

Ok I'm back and I think I Caught up on the pages we got some snow this Am totally unexpected but it only lasted a Hr or so!!!

Did u get any in San Antonio VJean??

Terri yea I thought the same thing about the Whoohaa temps but it did help level out my temps if u look back at my charts the first 4 w 97 temps where oral!!

Melinda once again so sorry take time for U and treat Yourself!!!

Elperanza and Batty sorry for the temp drop but it ain't over until that Hits!! Keep your chin up girls stay positive

Older Garfie we have time ladies !!!

We did! It was very weird snow though. Looked just like Dippin' Dots! Yum! It was funny to see tiny snowmen everywhere! Today is just icy and wet...hope you dont have to get out much!

 

[VJean]

I got a very faint positive urine test 1/31 (couldn't wait until the first). Took another one on the first and it was even more faint. Had a blood test to confirm a chemical . At least I conceived again. Hoping for a better egg next time.

Good luck to everyone. Some good looking charts going on.

So sorry hun! On the bright side (is there ever a bright side to these things?....i'm a firm believer that you are more fertile after a loss!) Hoping for a better egg for you as well!

 

[VJean]

Whew! Y'all seriously need to stop chatting so much so it's easier to catch up! I just spent the last hour at work reading BnB, and closing my web browser anytime someone walked by. I'm lucky our gov't firewalls don't block this site!

Terri, Erin, seriously you two! LOL! Thank you for the lovely visual images of vjay temping and tossing my "temp stick". I will also not be turned...I'll settle for a few irradic temps before my temp stick goes anywhere near my nether regions!

Terri, Hope you win that tube race!!! I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines!

Wish- I can't believe you are having that much trouble getting a referral. Do you have to have a referral? You can't just call up an OB and make an appointment? I just dont get that aspect of some insurances...I don't even have a primary care doc. If I hurt my hand I call up a hand doc, if I have a headache I make an appointment with a neurosurgeon.... I cant imagine having to wait for someone to get around to doing their job! I second (or third!) that you should be a squeaky wheel!!

Atty, Damn that ! But yay for V Day 'ing!

Radkat, Feel free to test (and post pics!!!) any day now. Or twice a day....you know, if you want.

AFM - Not sure I'll have a testing day this month. I met with my RE this am. I really like him a lot! I'll expand more on my visit in our group thread, but he is going to run a boat load of tests and said that we should not try this month. Bummer, but will be worth it to get a sticky next month! I am CD15 today, haven't o'd yet, but we haven't been preventing, so there is still a chance. I think we'll pay it safe for the next week though. FX'd the next 4 weeks fly by!

In other news, my older sis (40 in June) just got a this morning! I am sooooo excited for her and don't even have an ounce of jealousy (surprisingly!). I am praying that she has a sticky baby this time. She has also experienced pg losses, including a little boy two years ago around 18 weeks. I am just so happy for her! And hope that we can be pg together in a few months!

I'm off to catch on our chat thread...

 

[Sis4Us]

VJean yes the Snow was kinda like Lil tiny Balls of Ice!!!

Well I tested and got a SupER faint line prob the trigger still so we will see if it gets darker or lighter !!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Vjean-Minimize is my friend at work! hee hee. That's awesome about your sister. How fun would it be if you two were pregnant together. My older sis (42) got married last year, and she wants to have a kid, so I think it would be nice if both of us were prego, although she doesn't know how the human body works so she may never have one. I don't think she's really trying that hard. Her husband is kind of a dud. hee hee. But I do imagine it being fun being pregnant together.

Sis-How exciting!! Do you really think it's the trigger? How long is it supposed to last?

 

[Katie Potatie]

Batty and Lyvid, so sorry about that damn AF! Boo hiss.

Kira--My daughter is obsessed with the Mr. Men and Little Miss books! It's literally the only ones she wants to read at night. (She dressed up as Little Miss Sunshine for "Dress as your Favorite Storybook Character" for school.) But because we are in the states, I have to change a lot of the words on the fly since they're written by a UK author. What a sweet, sweet gift!

Terri--This last cycle when I did get a BFP, I started to get a slight sore throat and felt like I was fighting off the beginnings of a cold, but it never came on full-fledge. It's actually a preg symptom. I feel very good about this cycle for you!!

Kayotic & Blues--I see you are both doing red raspberry leaf tea. I'm a believer in that stuff for thickening your lining. I don't know what else it's supposed to be good for, but I kept reading on the threads about how great it was...so I bought a crap ton of it online. Took it for 2 months and had the heaviest, longest periods I've ever had! I stopped taking it cuz I realized I never had a problem with my lining and this was making my periods RIDICULOUS! But if you need it for lining issues, it's the bomb!

Sis--Random ?s.... Are you trying to time your BD sessions in favor of a girl? Or doing any diet that swings your PH balance in a pink persuasion? I feel really positive for you this month. Excited for you to test!!

Vjean--That's great about really liking your RE! And what fantastic news about your sister!! I hope she has a sticky bean and that you join her soon!

AFM--nuttin!

My first clomid period was so light. I could have gone the entire 4 days without a pad. It was really just 4 days of spotting.
My second one, my lining was 6 at my cd12 scan but my period was so much heavier, but I didn start the tea until cd12 either so I'm not sure how much it helped!

This current cycle, I started it at day 9 and it was 7.9 on cd12! I am still drinking it because I just love it. I'm also taking a baby aspirin and I am supposed to start progesterone -
I have a feeling this next cycle is going to be like shark week up in this bitch.

 

[Sis4Us]

Shark Week

I was taking Red Rasberry before seeing the FS but he told me to stop it cuz it can cause issues w Medicated cycle He also told me stop the Vitex but I took it this month after my Femara!!!

Katie if u want to know anything about Swaying I got the answer I don't really talk about it on here cuz most just want to get PG and don't have gender preference but I was on InGender and we made a Facebook Group of Pink Swayers!!!

I pretty much threw all the swaying out the window since it been so long and we still aren't PG!!!
But Ive tried it all the 1st Yr was cut off but only had the MC and that was closer to O!! I've done diet Gels and Supps!!! I'm taking the Vitex it supposedly sways but really taking it for fertility ..... Our timing was spot on this Cycle for girl but timing holds the least importance!!

Been having a Ton of Pokes on the right side since this afternoon boy side but I can only sit and wait!!!

 

[Blueshoney]

Sorry some of you are hitting so many roadblocks

I am officially in the TWW. We did manage to get 3 tries in, husband called in sick so we could go again this morning, haha.
I see some charts where people can have sex 2x a day for 3-4 days and I am always so jealous! We have to work around he kids schedule and then we are old and I am just jealous, haha.

I was not supposed to ovulate until 4 am but when I woke up to check my tem at 4am, I was clammy and sweaty and I had a small jump over coverline so maybe I did early? I had quite a bit of cramping while shopping yesterday so who knows.

Sis, if you could put me down for the 19th through I know I am going to start at 8DPO because I am an addict.

OMG I got so excited when I saw this until I continued reading and it was a trigger. I was all I MUST GET WHATEVER SHE HAS!

DH and I bd pretty often. I think I am very lucky in regards to that. We have months that we are everyday sometimes multiple times. Every once in a while life starts to get in the way and then we just bd before we work out so we are not too tired when we go to bed. :

I'm sorry to the ladies that got BFNs. But I won't give up hope for you ladies just yet!

Sis-Did the dr tell you how long the trigger shot stays in your system? Have you had a faint positive before at this time from the trigger shot? If not then maybe it is not a false positive.

AFM-After I updated FF with this morning's temp, it recalculated O day to Sunday, which is the day I thought I O'd. But the crosshairs are still dotted. I am now going to be even more impatient. I am nervous that I will get a BFN this month and according to FF, I will be Oing next when DH is away for the weekend.

And I am officially crazy that I am working about the next cycle when I am not even half way through this cycle's TWW.

 

[Sis4Us]

I've gotten a false +++++ on a Frer at 8Dpo but not a Cheapie!!!!

Will test again Tom and compare ... lighter???? darker?????
