[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[ClandestineTX]

I don't know anything about triggers, sorry.

 

[Ameli]

I don't know anything about trigger shots either. I can't see why it would hurt to do it earlier, but not sure. Sorry I'm not much help.

 

[ClandestineTX]

If this article is correct (https://www.ehow.com/about_5591888_hcg-trigger-shot_.html) then it seems like the trigger is like an LH surge. In that case, I'd not wait for and make sure to do it at least every other day. Sperm needs travel time to get where it's going!

 

[mrsnorcal]

Thanks, all. After reading the eHow article, I better make sure to tonight...it said O can occur in as little as 12 hours. My RE said that OPKs weren't necessary, but I think I may get some anyway...just to be on the safe side. I can't help but wonder if the HCG can cause a false positive OPK though...

 

[ClandestineTX]

The trigger will cause a false positive on an OPK - most have that listed in their instructions as a cause of 'false positive' results. Save your $$$ for diapers

 

[Twag]

I know nothing about triggers but Clandestine is wonderful and I would go with what she has said

 

[ClandestineTX]

I just read the instructions for my new brand of OPKs two days ago - it's on there and it makes sense, because LH (detected by OPKs) and hCG are virtually identical chemically.

 

[Twag]

I got my best ever OPK whilst pregnant

 

[Ameli]

Me too. I used up all of my pregnancy tests so occasionally I'll use an OPK. Just fun to

Mrs. JJ, Lilly - I think we can welcome Ameli and Twag into our POAS-aholics Anonymous group...

 

[Mrs. JJ]

My name is Mrs. JJ... and I'm an addict *hangs head in shame*... *runs off to pee on another stick, any stick will do*

 

[LillyTame]

Lol

My name is LillyTame and I am a POAS-aholic and I am currently going through withdrawal because my new OPKs haven't arrived in the mail yet

 

[ClandestineTX]

The babi ones I got off Amazon came super fast, shipped day I ordered them and arrived same as my prime stuff. Of course, they only traveled an hour away to get here (coincidence). I started them on CD 5, because it's a new kind for me, and according to all my stats on my cycle data I could have a surge before CD 10 on a short month - just wanted to keep all my bases covered (let's be real, I had new things to pee on...) and they were 100 for the same price as Wondfo 50 packs...

 

[Mrs. JJ]

(let's be real, I had new things to pee on...)

 

[Mrs. JJ]

Ok Superfecta ladies! And anyone testing in July, all are welcome... here's a thread for our POASing:

And don't forget to pick up the lovely graphic from our beautiful GingerPanda, I believe it's on the first page of the thread.

 

[ClandestineTX]

I think I got my signature rearranged!

 

[txbiscuit]

It's been pretty quiet in here today. I hope everyone is doing OK!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow - I'm working from home for two hours in the morning and then attending a "team-building event" (pool party) at my department director's house. Then I'll make something delicioso for the potluck.

Today has been kind of a stressful day, so I'm looking forward to trying to relax over the next few days.

 

[LillyTame]

Thanks for reminding me! I need to go buy some green chili sauce for my chicken!

 

[Mrs. JJ]

I need to go buy some tequila!

Not me...the earlier I test, the longer I'm just depressed I'm going to try to stay positive till AF actually shows.

Me too, I wait as long as possible. 3rd day after peak I think it's safe to say I ovulated hopefully. I'm not tempting because the dip,in temperature also depresses me. I'm not a good pma person in general.
