I'm sorry Onerth. It sucks not to at least O. Hopefully a higher dose will work.

Aayla - We have two cats and I don't have many plants in the house for that very reason. Why must they try to eat and/or destroy them? We have an aloe plant way up on the top of a tall hutch in the living room where they can't get to it and now the succulent pot, which I put on top of a tall jewelry cabinet thing (?) in the corner of our bedroom. The top of the cabinet is small enough they couldn't jump on top of it with the plant and jewelry on top of it, so it should be safe. We tried to have a bouquet of flowers on the table once that my mom bought while we were at the hospital as a surprise when we came home with Sylvie. The cats knocked it over twice and spilled water all over, so that didn't last long. I have a heavy crystal vase they probably couldn't knock over, but we decided not to test it.
I hope you get a chance to have a garden someday! Home-grown veggies are the best, even if we are amateurs and end up with hopelessly small bell peppers. We usually do corn, too, but we may not this year.

Onerth - I hope the higher dose does the trick next cycle.

Ultrasound results today. Nothing wrong. He said i have one fibroid in the muscle wall of my uterus but says it is nothing to be concerned about. He found no cysts or anything wrong. So my lengthy cycles are hormonal and not much can be done about it other than birth control or the fertility treatments. So i just have to keep doing what i am doing.

Opk still very negative. Cm seems more creamy than watery. Near opening it is watery but up closer to cervix it looks more creamy. I have always had trouble figuring it all out. I suppose we will see if my temps do anything.

I am now down 11.2 lbs in 2 weeks. If this rate keeps up i should be at my goal weight for iui in approx 2 months.

 

[FLArmyWife]

yay for the good results and great weight loss. FX you are able to tell when you O

 

[Aayla]

Does it mean anything of the opk dries this dark? I usually just toss them after the 10 min limit but this one i brought with me to the living room.

 

[lenorajoy]

I'm glad you had a good report, Aayla. And well done on the weight loss! I hope O happens for you soon. I wish I could say if there's anything to a dried opk, but I have no idea.

 

[FLArmyWife]

I also have no idea about opks as I didn't use them.

It's June ladies!! June.. where the heck is the year going?

 

[lenorajoy]

I know, it's nearly half over already! How is that possible?

 

[OnErth&InHvn]

Opks, like hPt shouldn't be read after the time limit.

Done it! Lol. Thanks x

 

[lilmisscaviar]

It depends how long after it dried. If it was a couple hours, then I'd consider it invalid, but up to 30 minutes to an hour I don't think would make much of a difference. Looks very promising though! Fx

Welcome catmum!

 

[Aayla]

Welcome Catmum!

I honestly don't recall. lol Probably more than an hour. I've put it as negative in FF. I have one test left for tonight.
Temp went up a bit. Nothing close to being an O jump but it was nice that it went up. We have BD cd 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 18. I am cd 19 today. We won't be getting BD in today based on our schedule unless I stay up until 130am. But I am not worried we didn't time incorrectly. lol

 

[FLArmyWife]

Thank you catmom. Why not give us a little backstory on your journey.. Also, I will add you to our testing list once I get a good minute

 

[Aayla]

This is dried. Took just over an hour to get this colour. It's actually darker in person. None of my tests dried like this except the last one i showed you. All dried blank otherwise. I am wondering how good this dollar store brand is. But i am sort of feeling positive. I have been having twinges and cramps tonight and I have been feeling dizzy. I am right at the time where I would normally O.

Going to wait up for hubby tonight. i will be going to get a few more tests tomorrow to see where it goes. Hopefully my temps go up.

 

[Aayla]

Oh holy cramps batman. Lower back on my right side is achy. I have read that ovulation can be more intense with soy. I don't care how intense this is I will be extatic if I O. Have you ever wanted to go to sleep just so you could wake up and take your temp? Lol but DH is not going to be home for another 40 min. So must stay up, especially with these symtpoms.

 

[FLArmyWife]

I have everything crossed for you Aayla!

Happy Friday ladies

 

[lenorajoy]

Welcome, catmum! Where are you in your cycle now? Waiting for O or testing soon? We'd love to cheer you on either way!

Aayla - I really hope with all of that cramping you're about to have a good healthy o and BD will be timed just right! Fx that soy is doing its job!
