[CLOSED] ex-SMEP ladies waiting for lightening to strike.

[Akayj]

Yes I'm using OPKs and Im , the hubby is home YES!!

 

[LillyTame]

Yea, that sounds like EWCM to me

I dont usually O until CD18 is it to early?

You can have EWCM for several days before O. I used to have it for 4-5 days when I was younger (now I'm lucky for 1 day!). I would definitely make sure you're BDing, in case you O early. Are you using OPKs?

Is it ALWAYS CD 18 for you? Like for me, I usually move up one day each month (this month I'm way late). And like Lionchild said...you can have it for several days before you do actually OV. I don't think I got ANY at all this cycle....ahhh to be young again

If your OPKs are still neg you are probably just gearing up for it but it's good to BD now to have some troopers in the trenches!

 

[Akayj]

Well AF is just now working herself out after being on bc for 7/8years. I say cd18 because that's about when it usually happens. I like the troopers in the trenches!

 

[Akayj]

Hey ladies I started using the CB Advance OPKs and I got a flashy face today. So O day is coming!

 

[LillyTame]

Woohoo! Go catch that egg, Akayj!

 

[ProfWife]

Akayj - Glad hubs can be home at the right time! Best wishes!!

 

[Akayj]

+OPK! Last cycle didn't actually get one. This one was at about 5:30ish pm. Took another one about 10:30ish pm and it was also positive.

 

[LillyTame]

Woohoo for the smiley!

 

[Akayj]

I'm not to sure about my chart? & I had a -OPK this morning 7:30am. But I'm still goin to today and hopefully tomorrow.

 

[LillyTame]

IMO, I would say your chart is fine, you may not get a dip till tomorrow or even the next day.

 

[adopim]

I think your chart looks fine also. And remember: it could be up to 48 hours after a positive OPK that you Ov. And it's also possible not to have a temp dip, I would keep an eye on your temps and see if they continue to climb over the next couple days. Good luck!

 

[LillyTame]

:wave: Hi Adopim! OMG, 23wks already! More than half way there! Did you/are you going to find out the sex?

 

[adopim]

Hi! I haven't stopped stalking the thread, hoping to see more ladies here get their BFP

I can't believe how fast it's going too! It's so crazy!
Here are my 20 week ultrasound pictures:

We were told the gender at our NT scan at 13+3, but it was confirmed at our 20 week:

And just for fun here is my 23 week bump photo taken yesterday:

Everything seems to be going well. I still get struck with morning sickness a few times a week but it seems to be letting up slowly but surely (it didn't start until about 15 weeks). I started to feel real kicks at about 19 weeks, DH felt it about a week later. She is still stubborn when he puts his hand on my belly though. She is getting stronger and kicking harder and harder every day. She is active for most of the day and much more active than even my DD was (which is crazy since DD was quite a mover)!

Fx'd that I see more BFPs very soon!!!

 

[LillyTame]

Ohhhh how sweet! Thank you for sharing with us!

 

[Akayj]

Im just wondering if I would have had a dip on CD17 because I caught myself sleeping with my mouth open. So IDK! hehe. We shall see!

 

[LillyTame]

That being the first day you got a pos OPK, I doubt it. The dip comes after the pos OPK.

Onto Cycle 8...

Progesterone came in at 7.6 (5.2 is lab "normal" range at the low level). Waiting to hear back from the CNM I see about that. Also waiting to find out if I can still get an u/s done (they wanted CD 3/4, but no one could schedule me and it was over a holiday weekend...nothing like excellent timing!).

Going to resume BBT in addition to Creighton Method and ferning microscopes...likely SMEPing but mostly because hubs is done with his leadership program, master's program, and I'm off for the summer!

 

[PrettyPixie]

Hi Ladies..i am currently 2 days late. I am very regular with a 27 day cycle. I did a test this morning and got a BFN? So, not really sure what on earth is going on...how long should i give it before testing again?

 

[LillyTame]

I swear ProfWife, it seems like everything happens over the weekend, except what you want to happen! This cycle I was expecting OV over a weekend which would have been great for SMEPing, but of course OV was late and came during the week.

I hope you get some answers or assistance that will be more helpful for cycle 8

 

[ProfWife]

Apparently not...instead of sending my message to the doctor as asked, they tried to schedule me for a 3d ultrasound. I love it when they don't READ the message and assume what they are looking at because they see a number. Felt really good to open that email, too...like a firm kick to the gut. Oy. What a way to start the work week.
