good, glad to hear it!!!x

Okay, I got a POAS question, now I know I don't usually post here so hope you don't mind me gatecrashing..... I've had strong +OPK's since Thursday and fortunately DH has been 'in the mood for dancin', romancin'.....', okay I'll put a lid on it but after my last few cycles this has made me so happy ....anyway, I just POAS and got a bit of a +, a faint line, bit like when you're testing to see if it's around or not. D'you think I need to BD tonight or can I give my dancing shoes a rest for a bit?

Sorry no pic girls, this is a quick post, gotta dash out, back after 8 - thanks!!!!x

J, there's no faint positive possible on an OPK; it is or it isn't...but, if you have a line that is visible, it sounds like your surge is on the way out...you can DTD one more time, but if you don't, you're covered.

I am so excited for you this cycle!

And, you are not crashing a thread.

If oh is up to it I would dtd ,it cant hurt but please try post us your pic as it or your temps would really help us detect if you have had your surge or not ,

 

[NorthStar]

Yay jax, so glad that he "obliged" you this cycle!

Did you temp, or not? Cos if you were temping we'd know as Despie says, if you get a "get out of jail free card" on tonight or not

 

[Jax41]

Dmom, Despie, Northstar - thanks for the replies and allowing me to muscle in here!!

Despie, sorry no temps to tell you know I'm rubbish

Dmom, thank you for the reassurance that I've got my bases covered. It would be wonderful if this was 'my cycle' and I'm seriously having to put a restraining order on myself here, because of course 'I am instantly pregnant' , NOT to get carried away. However, I'm going to indulge myself with a bit of manifesting two pink lines on an HPT!!!!

Anyway, back to tonight....no BD. DH has told me no chance, and in fairness I understand, he is off to bed now and will be out at 4:30am (has to get his Boss to Manchester for 8:00am), it was nice while it lasted.....off for a hot date with my ironing board instead xXx

 

[dachsundmom]

J, you've done all you can now...and I'd say it's a damned sight better than last cycle!

 

[NorthStar]

Yay

Well that's 2 days on the agnus castus for me and no SE for far

 

[dachsundmom]

Want a side of soy with that?

 

[NorthStar]

Nah, I'll pass thanks!

My parents are arriving tomorrow so I'm hiding all my TTC gear

Ok you POAS experts I have a question for ya...I know I know I always have questions...

Anyway ok I usually get positives on my OPK's for several days. I was even able to get positives at 8DPO last cycle and I know I O'd because I also had my day 21 tests done. Well I have never since my lines fade in and out because I've never had enough tests. However, last month I order a bunch of IC that I got a bit late but I've been using them this month.

Well I've started testing early 7DPO and got a faint line ...they have since only got a little darker but I look like I'm about to O today. I also feel like it with lots of O pain. This is way earlier than normal so I'm trying to figure out my BD'ing needs if you know what I mean.

Today I tested at 11:30 and my line was darker but still not like what I have seen in previous cycles and I would say def not positive. Then I had a bunch more pain and tested again tonight at 6:00. My 6:00 line is actually lighter than my lunch line ... could I have missed my surge? Also why have I always gotten positives for 4 or 5 days and now have a fast surge.

I should note my O date has been moving up but my LP is the same old 12 days.

 

[Jax41]

Yep!

 

[dachsundmom]

Milty, evening urine is sometimes just too diluted...

 

[Butterfly67]

Milty, a couple of days ago I got a light line then a darker one and then it went back to light again but none were positive so keep testing.

So here are my opks from the last 18 hours or so. I had to POAS at the National Gallery in London lol

The first one is the 5pm one. I then took one at 9pm which was a bit darker (sorry no pic) The second one is from 7.30am this morning and the third one from just now. Think I managed to nail the timing

 

[dachsundmom]

M, you nailed the timing and T nailed you! Perfect!

 

[Butterfly67]

M, you nailed the timing and T nailed you! Perfect!

 

[Jax41]

Yea Butterfly!!!

Hmmm....I always test with evening wee as my POAS packet tells me too, used to do it in the morning and they said don't, was never sure why , anyway it's a good thing as I'm crap at trying to do things in the morning as you know, it's enough to try and get my back off the mattress

Good luck Milty, hope you catch your surge, have you tested again today?

 

[dachsundmom]

I am a morning tester, lol....works for me and it's working for NS.

 

[Jodes2011]

oh BF you have timed that perfectly hunni
