berdc - congrats on your little bean! so happy that everything is going as it should for you. glad you got your picture too.
twinkie - hang in there, i'm on cd2 also. i hate this first part, it seems to take forever to get to the TWW! and hey, we are getting BFP's this month so you won't have to worry about doing this all over again next month. keep your spirits up.
mailc - i don't know about the first response opk's, but i use the digi ones twice a day, morning and night starting a 3 days before i think i will get a +. i use twice a day now because i have missed it before just testing once a day.

Motor- I HATE this part too, although I don't like the 2WW much either, LOL. I think about the only time I do like is the day leading up to O, cause I can pee on sticks and actually see a +! LOL
mailcmm- I have no idea bout the first response opks... I might do some googling.

So I used it tonight. Still negative and apparently working. I Don't know why I am so panicked about actually ovulating. Worried I didnt last month and might not this month. Oh well regardless of ridiculous equipment we are dtd every other day. I really want this to be my last month ttc.
Colta... How are your opks looking.

you won't know for sure from temping yet if you ovulated yesterday until you have 3 high temps in a row. this is because you can sometimes get a random high temp and then it drops back down the next day. yep, you dtd the deed enough. nothing to worry about there. twice in fertile window is enough, then rest is up to a higher power. see what your temp does tomorrow. if it stays high, then you probably o'ed yesterday. hey, you could already be in your TWW! i'm already getting impatient to get there and I'm only cd3

I know! I am so ready for the tww. Wish I got a +opk though. Maybe I missed it by only testing once a day. Or maybe it hasn't happened yet. Can't wait to find out though.

So far so good for me... testing with OPK's, but I'm not expecting to ovulate for another 7 or 8 days. Me and DH have been having fun though, he's a lot more relaxed this time around.
He actually confessed to me last night that he really wasn't sure if getting pregnant last month would have been what he wanted, but that he's definitely wanting it this month and really really hopes we catch.
I don't know why the month makes a difference in the long run, but at least he feels good about it now. I was a bit upset that he didn't tell me before... but what can ya do?
So yeah, at least both of us are going to be a bit more gung-ho this cycle... which is good. And because of what he said... I feel WAY more relaxed and just content to let things go with the flow.
mailcmm - you have to be careful when you chart... seeing a big spike can make you think you o'd and then you might stop bd'ing as much. I think that's what happened last month. I'm pretty sure I miscalculated my O date by a few days (hence why I was late), and we didn't BD all that much after O... nowhere even close to when I think I actually O'd. I'd keep BD'ing for as long as you can, every other day should be fine and keep using OPK's just in case... cause you never know.

Colta... I bet now that you are both wanting this it will happen. We plan to continue bding eod until after my 2nd fertile window. Lol last month I think I od early and that's why we missed. I had been planning on a cycle day 14 o. Plus I don't really understand charting yet. Lol I am learning though. Trying to learn how to check it all. I am 35 and we want 2 kids. So right after we have the baby we are trying for now we will try again. Since I am not getting any younger this info is good to know. Then I am having my uterus cauterized and will be done with it all. Lol 4 kids is more then enough for me.

DH wasn't so gung ho about it at first either. Our son was only 12 months old when we started trying again and he had been a colicky baby. He cried for about 14 hours a day for the first 4 months. He is so happy now though. Since it's taking so long I can tell DH is starting to get worried. He was so proud of himself with #1 cause we got pregnant right away, lol!
i don't use these type of opk's, so don't know what this means, but the test line looks darker than the control line to me.

The instructions just say the test needs to be the same or darker then the control line. So I guess this test is positive. Should We dtd today. We bd yesterday. I just really want to catch this egg. I will use my digital test soon to check again. Hopefully that will say positive. I don't have much faith in that fr.opk. i just feel it is defective. lol
looks like you are o'ing then! it's up to you how often you want to dtd. if there are no motility problems, dtd everyday can slightly increase your chances of BFP. if motility problems, every other day would be better. I asked google!
