6 DPO...& ...POAS until positive!

[Petzy]

Hello Nat!

Good luck with the OPK...hope it's positive!!!

I've wondered about 'feeling' ovulation. I never feel them.
Actually I had thought last year I felt ovulation a bit - a heavy feeling near the ovaries but I never really knew. Anyway this cycle for some reason my uterus area & stuff just feels different. I feel like I have more symptoms from my cycle & I've felt almost cramps but not sure if that's really what that is?
Anyway wonders me if its acupuncture that's changing things.

Also about the advice you got - that is strange. Woman don't ovulate around the same time. CD 11? What does that even mean? Sperm can live up to 5 days & can hang out waiting for your eggs to be ready. So yes you can do it that early & maybe those are the sperm that win but really? I think that's odd advise & really - wouldn't a doctor say that then ? LOL>..oh geez if all it took was to BD on CD11 then what have I been doing?!?!

Yeah that sounded really silly to me too..... there is no 'typical' cycle really.. and those who O later will not apply to this lol...

Ps. Congrats on the job call Meg and I'm excited to see how your appt goes, could be prog for you too with that early spotting! Hope it's a good experience and hopefully some good news too!!
And excited to see these lines on your test everyone!

Thanks Talia.. fingers crossed for sure.

Hey Meg,

You don't want to a cycle of Cycle Monitoring? It would be really good.
You'll be told your uterus lining measurements & your follicles - get a better look to make sure all is in good working order in there
I found it fascinating. Yes, early mornings, but also they tell you when you O so you dont have to think about it at all.

Oh Meg, you know exactly how I feel. I want to be pregnant this year. That's all I'm asking - this year!!!!!
Well I'm told June 10th due date if I get pregnant this cycle. Fingers crossed.

I don't mind doing cycle monitoring no - early mornings are fine for me and the information would be really useful I am sure.- so long as I am at my current job... If I am in training at a new job there is no way I could do it in the a.m. ahhhh - so the sooner the better I suppose. I wont be here for two weeks in October (Florida) if I don't get the job so it would probably have to be November that I do the first CM. I doubt they can start next week as I will be on CD9 when I go for my appt... thoughts?

Would be nice to skip OPK for a month lolo

June - that would be a lovely month to have a baby! Come on sperm / eggy - time to meet up!!!

Yes, team June!!!!!!!!
But you know what I have little to no expectations.
I guess a bit more hopeful given my new TCM & Acupuncture regime so we'll see

You'd need to do Cycle Day 3 ultrasound & blood work so they'd likely start you next cycle. And if you're gone for two weeks in October then you're right - you'll start in November

Cycle day 3?? do tell! lol

I will be here for CD3 in October so if I only need to do that I guess I could do that, just not CM

I am glad you feel more hopeful. You should. You have a good plan now and something to look towards - that's great. Are you natural BD this cycle or what Barb?

Some specialists recommend that you BD every other day and not every day, to allow sperm to build up. Maybe I should start doing that.. We BD every single fertile day the last two cycles so maybe that's my problem lol - the month I had my chemical we did not BD every day.

You always call in on Cycle Day 1 (some clinics vary a bit) & then you go in for a Day 3 Test...ultrasound to count the number of dominant follicles, measure your lining & the blood test is testing all your hormone levels & making sure they're typical for Day 3 of your cycle. Then they can tell when they should call you back again...usually around Day10 of your cycle for Cycle Monitoring until you Ovulate.

You'll find out what your doctor orders for October. They might get you to do Day 3 & Day 21 hormone levels but it makes sense to do it when you're doing Cycle Monitoring b/c you have to be there on CD3 anyway. You'll find out

Yes, Natural Cycle this month & next month for sure. November is the 6th IUI schedule for now. I hope we can do it on our own though.

Daily & Once a day is safe if his Spermies are good to go. If they're healthy & abundant. Other wise they'd suggest every other day. But I dont think it's recommended to do it more than once a day.

 

[barbikins]

I BD on average every other day around CD 10, onward...& then I know when I'm approaching Ovulation so I will try every day for about 3 days or so...or I'll do every other day & wait for Positive OPK & make sure to do it that day & the day after.

This cycle was not as well timed. We DTD on Saturday night....Positive OPK Monday, DTD today. Anyway it will either happen or not right? BLURG.

 

[Nataliieexo]

When i had my chemical some days we bd 3 times a day out of choice oh sex drive is threw the roof....either that or i am irrisistable lmao x

 

[Nataliieexo]

I will stick to everyday we do anyways when we are together that much so we will stick with our normal routine a bit longer x

 

[barbikins]

The later, Natalie!!!!

 

[Nataliieexo]

I have a good feeling about this cycle, i feel it in my bones lol x

 

[Petzy]

Fingers crossed Natalie ! It's good to be positive. Your body responds to it I'm going to try to be positive too

 

[Nataliieexo]

Yeah positive thinking is the way forward i'm begining to be able to predict peoples pregnancys i've noticed when they put excited on a facebook status later in the day a scan pic and a announcement follows everytime it never comes as a shock to me lol jelousy etches away on me but this will be by month or year x

 

[Nataliieexo]

Oh and i took a opk i just felt the need it was wierd but there was a good line so heres to hoping for early ovulation i feel like that might happen x

 

[Nataliieexo]

Double post oops x
