So far, just great. I got seven bars or "high fertility" on Friday. It was awesome! So excited for my nine bars!

 

[crazy84]

Hey guys!! How is everything going??? Nevertogether- did you get your's in the mail yet? Arein- You said you are doing the SMEP also?? I think that it works.... we were kinda doing that too.... lol, we missed a couple of days, but we were just BDing every other day.... if I would have known I ovulated we would have BDed everyday during that time... lol, but I had no clue!! Anyway Good Luck ladies!!!!

I got my Peak on my OvaCue this morning! It was pretty exciting but it just seems kind of early to me? I should O tomorrow based on my reading but I haven't O'd in the past until 16 or after. Do you guys think it's the herbal supplements? I have no idea. But I'm going with it regardless. I have 3 OPKs left from last cycle I may confirm with.

 

[nevertogether]

hey arein - what supplements are you taking? i know if you are taking soy, that it can make you o earlier if you have a pretty normal cycle. i would use the OPK's too, just to confirm, since this is the first time trying out ovacue. don't want to miss your peak!

crazy - i haven't got mine yet. because of the volcano in iceland, overseas mail has stopped so i guess i have to wait a little bit longer. ugh. you're so lucky girl! i hope we have your luck in june

I'm taking Black Cohosh and Red Raspberry Leaf tea plus an organic multivitamin and metafolate. It could have been the black cohosh, I guess. Def going use those OPKs tonight and tomorrow just to see.

 

[nevertogether]

hey arein - i read about black cohosh. i was wondering about it actually. i have a lot of hot flashes, but i don't know if estrogen is the case. what was your reasoning in trying it?

 

[AreIn83]

Because it helps increase CM and can aid in implantation. It seems to shorten my follicular phase when I take it regularly. Last month I didn't take it as regularly just to see what would happen and I o'd later than the cycle before but it's not ever been this early! Even when I was just using OPKs and not temping, I wouldn't get a pos OPK til 16-19.

 

[moochacha]

Oh I'm getting one for next cycle!!! I've been looking into these for months now but after a MC I decided to take a cycle off from TTC. Now we're back and with Clomid

I really wanted one for this cycle but I ordered it too late as I live in Australia its going to take a few weeks to get here.

morning everyone!

moochacha - welcome! arein is the only one out of our group that has got to try it so far. as far as i've heard - she really likes it. crazy ordered one and got a while waiting and i'm still waiting on mine. i'm in germany, so i've been waiting for a while too.

arein - so you confirmed the O with your OPK's? i think cd14 is a good O date though, isn't it. i think that's pretty regular. i O CD16 as well, at least the time i tracked it.

 

[nevertogether]

i wanted to try SMEP so bad, but i'm not sure that i will get to see DH CD8-16. in fact, i highly doubt it. his command will probably OK me seeing him while he is in germany (two hours from me, so i'm taking time off..) but i doubt that many days. i was thinking trying at least CD13-CD16 which should be my MOST fertile days. do you think that will be enough time, and if we have to BD everyday..will that cause a problem? eeek..

Thank you I can't wait to get mine, part of me thinks hold off and wait because I might get a bfp but now I've made the plunge and even if I get a bfp before it arrives there's always ebay

 

[moochacha]

I'm going to try give OPK's again this month, I tired using them last year but never got a pos.

 

[crazy84]

Hey girls!!! How are yall today??? Well, I got my OvaCue in yesterday!! lol... I went ahead and opened it cause I think I will keep it for next time!! Man that vaginal sensor looks scary!! lol, jk!!! Well, I just wanted to say hi!!! Hope yall are doing well!!!

 

[nevertogether]

Hey Crazy!!! Is everything still going OK? Any symptoms or anything??? I'm so excited for you. I still haven't gotten mine, but I assume that is because i'm overseas. Geez. Hate waiting!! I should be O'ing soon so I guess I will start with my OPK's. I can't without DH here obviously, but I'm using the time to figure out my body so that I know for a fact when I'm O'ing when he is here

Moochacha - I'm using OPK's this month too. Lots of babydust to you girl!!

Everything is still going good. I have an appointment on Tuesday just to confirm it. I wonder if I take in the 20 HPT's that I have already done, if that would be confirmation enough!!! LMAO!! JK!!! I am excited to know if everything is ok or not. I have managed to stress myself out worrying! I think that it is smart to kinda get your body figured out before hand... then your chances become even better!! I'm wishing you tons of luck!! I can't wait to hear yall's success stories!!!

Ok, back to High Fertility today so I'm assuming that I'm O-ing today. Everything says yes, high cp wet cm and left sided O pains. I did use another OPK this morning that was negative though but I'm just going to try to ignore that!

Go for it!! Plus if you're ovulating today it would be a little too late to catch the surge via an OPK normally pick up the surge anyway from 12-48 hours before hand.

Good luck

 

[nevertogether]

hey arein - moochacha has a good point. i didn't even think about the fact that ovacue claims to pick up the ovulation 7 days in advance. so if that is the case, that would explain why you have been getting fertility all this time. and this is your normal O day right? hopefully everything goes according to planned and a is on it's way!!

 

[AreIn83]

My usual O day has been around 16, which is today. I had all of the right symptoms yesterday but my temp is not going with the montior. The monitor took me back down to possible fertility, which is to be expected 2 days after peak, but my temps are just not meshing. I can say this, my temp taking skills are less than accurate so that very well may be the issue. I wake up all through the night, I ususally don't remember to temp right when I open my eyes and roll around in bed half awake until I remember etc etc.
Moochacha-You're right. I'm just second guessing all of this OvaCue business I think. I did my last OPK this am just for shits and gigs, and it was nearly positive. So I'm thinking I'm on the downhill slide of my surge.
