Fingers crossed for you

Thanks ladies. All this OPK and temp stuff is really fascinating..I was so oblivious when I had my first children! LOL Really hope we timed it right this cycle and there is a good egg that's not gone off.

I agree about the fascination with all the goes on in our cycle! I feel like our generation was taught so bloody little about how our own bodies work. I can’t wait to teach my girls about the amazing things their bodies do every month.

that said my eldest will jus have turned 8 when this next baby is due and I’m imaging a lot more questions about where babies come from this time I so wanna be the cool mum who explains it all and isn’t embarrassed by it. I gotta work on that over the next while!

Yes my girls are 7 so if I ever get pregnant they are going to be asking! I've always believed in being honest about things with them. I told them they were born by c-section recently and they were fascinated and all they wanted to know was who was first out and who cried the loudest lol Love your ticker!

Sorry, I manage to get on daily to catch up, life is crazy busy at the moment.

I am away and managed to get all my opks wet (i stupidly opened them all and put them all in one pack. im on cycle day 13 and had ovulation pain yesterday and a high opk yesterday- it got lighter today, not sure if I missed the peak? I am hopeful!

Me and OH Baby danced last night, hes away for 2 nights with work now, hopeful it was enough!

congratulations to the positives and sorry to those who AF got!


would you say this test is almost positive?

Oh no about getting them all wet, that sucks. I would say that test is quite negative, there is quite a big discrepancy between the colour of the lines. Maybe you did miss your peak, but good that you got some bd in anyway So hard to keep up with these things when you’re not at home.

Thanks for looking,
I haven't got a clue, I used the app and it said high? But not peak!

Femometer? I used it a few times and found it really hit and miss depending on how the photo was framed! I could take 5 pics of the same test and get 5 different (not even close!) readings! I’ll attach a picture of my two most recent positive OPKS. It’s such a guessing game in the lead up, but when you get them, you know. But if you had Ov pain and a high test one day it is just possible you missed the peak.

@doggylover im an RN

I'm going to buy a different test today! Lol the only signs I'm getting are my breasts; tingly, some pain on the right, and my nipples could probably cut a person they are so hard they also hurt when rubbed on !
My left clavicle bone (upper shoulder neck area) is having some pain if i breathe in to deep.
Oh and gas!
No AF cycle day 26. Last cycle was only 25 days and my normal cycles are 28 AF expected sunday. Im just praying that since she didnt arrive early this time with all the treatments I'm safe.
Im not getting irritated in which I normally do, but there's so much good news idk why i would be lol.
I really hope 3 follicles and 8 million sperm were enough. Doubtful that I could have multiples if my tests arent darker.

@becca I know the struggle with ovulation sticks but with those I believe they say midday testing is better. Good luck!!

 

[Bevziibubble]

@Bre1990 Good luck for testing

 

[Hevalouaddict]

Congrats @doggylover

afm. My app is going crazy. My light tests showed as positive and today I got this and it says negative. Darkest test so far. I’ll test later to see if it turns positive

Thanks

Your app has lost the run of itself (as we say in my part of the world) and is just making stuff up now!!!

Good morning! I will go back and catch up with everyone over lunchtime!

Temp is looking good this morning! BFN but I'm okay with that. If I am pregnant then I don't know when implantation happened exactly and I know it may take 2-3 days to have enough hcg built up to detect. I'll test again tonight and then tomorrow morning. Based on my last cycle, AF would be due on Sunday so just praying she stays away! Not really having any symptoms other than the last 2 days having times of being super tired- like i had bricks on my eyelids (even took an hour long nap mid morning yesterday while the boys played some mario cart). But in both of my other pregnancies other than being more emotional I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms until 5.5-6 weeks so lack of symptoms isn't too concerning. Who knows! I'm excited but also trying to stay reserved about it in case AF shows up

Eeeek you temp is looking fab how exciting for you xx

 

[Alligator]

Such a lucky thread it seems, so pleased for all the BFP.

@Deethehippy good luck - go catch that eggy!

 

[kksy9b]

@JJB2 congrats on moving over, how exciting!! And even bd'ing only once can land you preggers! I put your test date down for the 21st but am happy to move it if you'd like!

@mommy2twokj looks like fertile CM to me! After you ovulate it will typically go to more of a creamy, non stretchy, type of mucus. More like lotion. As long as you have that stretchy mucus (egg white cervical mucus or EWCM), keep baby dancing! Good luck!!

@Jessylou4 oh, I am so so sorry totally understand needing to unplug for awhile

@Stargirl1993 looks promising!! I've wondered if you could have missed the leak surge overnight or something. That's why I like the opk + temping combo!

 

[MrsKatie]

@Jessylou4 oh honey I am so, so sorry. Please take care and I hope next month brings your sticky baby.

@doggylover, how are you feeling? any symptoms? are you testing like crazy??

@Deethehippy yay that's way positive!

@Nixnax how are you feeling today?

@alanadawn03 congratulations!

@mommy2twokj I am terrible at identifying fertile CM cause so many different kinds I get are stretchy BUT I would err on the side of caution and call that fertile. is it super slick?

@JJB2 good luck!

@Suggerhoney how are you sweetie?

@kksy9b eep good luck!

@FTale thanks for your wise words sweetie and good luck to you. Are you TTC your first?

@tdog, hi!

@Stargirl1993 looks good, fx!

@Alligator, how are you, did you have a good talk with the hubby?

--------

I am 4 weeks tomorrow, so so early. Dying to test again and glad DH has hidden them. I talked to the nurse today and she said no need for HCG tests unless I have scary signs (bleeding, intense cramping). Otherwise, she says we just "assume all is well". So I'll try to follow her lead.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Happy 4 weeks for tomorrow

 

[tbfromlv]

Well my opks never got blazing positive but my temp went up today. Kind of upset because we didn’t BD last night, but we did the night before. I didn’t even have ewcm like usual. I just don’t know. I guess time will tell. I’m worried that we didn’t bd yesterday.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Fingers crossed you have covered it

 

[kksy9b]

Sorry for the multiple posts! We are outside playing in the splash pad....well, the boys are playing while I sit in the shade watching watching cute guys run by shirtless and catch up on bnb LOL. So just replying one page at a time!

@FTale I hope you get your forever baby soon. I can't imagine such a long journey and pray it comes to an end soon for you

@Deethehippy wahoo for a positive opk!! Go catch that (good) egg!!! And I find it all so interesting too!! With each time trying I've added more knowledge and understanding. If I ever have a daughter I will definitely be teaching her all about it so she can understand and have control over her own body and cycle!

@doggylover my oldest is 6 now so I'm not sure if he will ask questions or not. There are a couple great books that explain the process without the actual sex part (not ready for that yet lol). I think I'll just figure it out if the questions come up!

@Becca_89 ugh, sorry about getting all your OPKs wet!! That really sucks! I would say your picture is definitely negative. I'm sure there are some cheapie opks that do, but my understanding is that the cheapies don't show any type of progression. So if it's not a positive, then it's negative. The exception to that being the "almost positive" where it is only JUST under as dark as control. Keep testing and hopefully it turns positive soon for you!

@Bre1990 all sound like positive signs, especially being later than last cycle!!

@Hevalouaddict that's do frustrating with your app! I've heard a lot of hit and miss stories with those readers!

@tdog thank you!! I am praying you are right and the temps just keep going up and that positive comes in the next day or two!
