April 2018 Testers - *UPDATE* 17 BFPs and Counting! Easter Bunny Please Bring Us BFPs

[co_fostermom]

Welcome Aimee and now officially Mwah!

Follicle check went well today. The one follicle grew to 17mm and a second grew to 10mm (not concerned about that one). Waiting to hear back from my doctor to see when to trigger (they triggered me two days later when I measured 16mm so I'm sure it's gonna happen soon.

I think I'm officially in my TWW. I decided to lay off the OPKs, I was getting too frustrated. I think next time I'll get a couple of the smiley face ones. CM looked on track for Oing on the 17th, so I am 2 DPO! I've had some light cramping on the left side, so I'm hoping this is a good sign that I am Oing, too. On track to test on 4/1, but am going to try to wait until 4/2 - don't want DH to think I am April Fools-ing him!

co_fostermom - have you heard back? Trigger Wednesday?

Loves2Design - Sending you tons and tons of baby dust.

AFM - CD14 OPK negative. FF has my fertile window opening today so we have started the BD. Acupuncture appointment this afternoon which I always thoroughly enjoy. OPK should get a little closer tomorrow.

 

[co_fostermom]

Yes I heard back...am triggering on Wednesday unless I get a + OPK. They said I could stop taking estrogen because my follicles should take over (yay!) and my lining was close enough to 8mm. I'm really excited about the triple pattern of my lining. I read that it increases my chances to 62% if it gets to at least 9mm before O. I'm really, really hoping this is my month. God knows I've waited long enough!

FX for you ladies!!!

 

[Loves2Design]

Well trigger shot went great this morning. Just have a small area that sore. But I am happy to report that I start to get positive sign that I am going to ovulate... sorry if tmi I had some clear and kinda somewhat stretch cm. I so happy to see this since I didn't get this last month or if I did I didn't notice it

 

[Dill]

There's no such thing as TMI here!

FX for you ladies getting the intervention treatments!

AFM, I got a positive OPK today, which means I may be ovulating a little earlier than has been typical. Maybe it's the tea?

Hi everyone
How are we all going ? I’ve been so busy I’ve not been on her for a week or so. Ov pains today for me. Not done ov test this time just going to see what happens fingers crossed 🤞

 

[tbfromlv]

3 days of positive opks and no O. Dang it. Hopefully I’ll still get a chance before I start BCP for IVF prep. *sigh*

Good luck to all the girls Oing and triggering! Babysust coming at you!!

 

[Dream143r]

Loves2Design - That's hardly TMI, great news on the CM. Glad the trigger went well too!

Dill - Looks like I'll be right behind you with a positive OPK tomorrow.

mme - maybe the reduced stress of the OPK will do the trick and this will be it for you. FX

TB - Grrr. Rise temp, just rise!

CD15 - OPK darker than yesterday but not positive. I'm thinking it will be a clear positive tomorrow.

 

[Loves2Design]

Dtd went well this morning and lite cramping now so hopefully I am ovulating.... ready to be home and relaxing and not at work.

Work little swimmer work lol

Baby dust to everyone

 

[co_fostermom]

Negative OPK today but it was darker than yesterday's. Trigger shot tonight! I was nervous this morning because I had a temp rise, but I've also been running warmer this cycle so I'm hoping today's temp was just a fluke because my OPK was very negative yesterday (the digi just measured the estrogen surge and the non-digi was extremely faint - taken at different times during the day as well). I wish we could dtd today but dh isn't supposed to do anything for 2-5 days and now we're at the 2 day mark. Sigh!!!!

GL to everyone! This thread is starting to get exciting!

Opk never work for me thanks pcos. Yea that mark to no doing anything a pain. Since DH work 12 hour shift it was hard to do for his SA it was closer to 24 hour instead of the recommend 48 hours after dtd. Luckily they let him do his sample and even with that shorter time he still had a good results.

I got another positive OPK today, so DH and I will keep at it until we're sure I've O'd! I'll probably be ovulating today or tomorrow, which puts me at the early end of the spectrum, but not totally outside of my typical window. I'm CD13 today and usually O between 13-16, with 14 being the usual.

I'm unusually crampy and my breasts are already getting tender. I don't usually start getting tender boobies until after I O, so maybe it happened in the night? That, or it's more tea action.

Dream, that's exciting that our cycles are so close! Maybe we'll be bump buddies!

And fostermom, I agree, things are definitely heating up in here!

 

[co_fostermom]

Well we decided to dtd today anyway. I triggered tonight. IUI on Friday. Last time I had the trigger shot it hurt so bad and I had a horrible backache the next few days. This time it really didn't hurt as bad (the prick itself is not the problem...it's the bruise-like pain that happens after the meds are injected), so we'll see if there's an accompanying backache tomorrow. Overall, I'm feeling good about this cycle since finding out that my lining is in perfect shape.

Dill, it sounds like you have a good plan. More than one positive OPK is confusing! Out of curiosity, are you using CB digis? The flashy face isn't actually a positive. I thought it was at first because the instructions make it seem so, but it's the solid face that you have to watch for. The flashy face detects an estrogen surge (the beginning of your fertile window) and the solid face detects the LH surge. The estrogen surge causes the LH surge which then causes ovulation. I'm sorry if you already know that...I just was really confused the first time I used digital OPKs so I thought I'd share that info lol.

 

[Dill]

Nope, I use dip strips! I usually have long surges, so 2 days of positives are pretty much the norm for me. I usually O the day of the 2nd positive or the day after.
