Can you add my testing date for June 30? Thank you!!

 

[FLArmyWife]

Yay. congrats ashley. I'll add your testing date

 

[ashleyg]

I am excited to be back in the game haha. I thought I was never going to get a dark positive.

I posted this on the ovulation test boards but I thought I would ask here too..

I'm confused as to why this morning I didn't even get the flashing smiley that shows I would have been "close" to ovulating...it just showed the blank circle. I just randomly decided to test this afternoon and luckily I did because I feel like I caught it just at the right time!

Is it common to go from not even close to positive tests...and then everything positive at once?

[ashleyg]

LOL thanks girl! We have been trying to follow the SMEP as best we can haha. We have been trying to stick to dtd every other day but some days we couldn't help it lol! We DTD yesterday though and I got my pos opk today so I'm hoping that it covered me

I feel like I haven't posted in forever.

Amber I hope this all goes swiftly for you and that you have one more month of trying. I will be thinking and praying for you.

Jessalex my frer seemed to stay the same color for awhile. Don't give up hope yet!

Pato I can't imagine going through that. My kids are close to that age so that breaks my heart. You are a very strong woman. Maybe NTNP will be just the ticket. I hope you get your BFP soon and it gives your heart back some of it's happiness. FX for you!!!!

AFM- my symptoms seem to come and go. One day (like yesterday) I will have almost no MS or breast tenderness and then the next day (like today) I wake up feeling sick and my boobs are killing me. Hoping thats normal. I should hear today about my bloodwork and urine culture. Thinking it's not a bladder infection anymore. The cramps have come and gone all weekend. Usually when I have a bladder infection it gets horrible within a day or two and it hasn't. Guess we will see what I hear today.

Hope the cultures come back negative for bladder infection. And my symptoms come and go as well. 99.9% of the time I do not feel pregnant. I wish I did!

Hey all, so I guess all my wierd exaggerated symptoms where from the chemical. I'm out this cycle. Back to cd1... Thinking I'm going to try to not pressure myself as much and just enjoy the good things in life...until cd12 at least : )

Ugh sorry to hear the witch got you . Best of luck and for this cycle.

I am CD 16 and FINALLY got all three positive OPKs today!! DH and I DTD Saturday, Sunday & Today (I ovulated this afternoon). So I hope that I catch this egg! It's so weird because just this morning all three tests showed a negative. The digi didn't even show the flashing smiley it was just the blank circle. Then I tested again mid afternoon and got dark positives and a positive digital. Now onto the TWW!

Yay! FX for you.

Yes, I've heard of surges being very sudden and very brief. It's a good thing you decided to test! Mine was negative in the morning and positive by afternoon, but the morning test was pretty close. GL

Hey ladies im currently 8 dpo and Ive bn having heartburn since about 6 dpo.....has anyone ever had heartburn and then got a BFP???? This symptom is new for me!

 

[FLArmyWife]

5stars- I had heartburn after my bfp but not that I can recall before hand. FX it's a good sign!

 

[TheTiebreaker]

Ok so I got some of my results back, but not all. They don't have my urine culture yet, maybe tomorrow. I did get my blood test back, though! My hcg went from 319 at 4 weeks 1 day to 16,300 at 5 weeks 4 days!!! My dr said she is super happy with my numbers. I am feeling so much relief! Thinking this might be a sticky bean!!! Now just to wait till Thursday to see the little peanut!

5stars- I had heartburn with my very first pregnancy very early! FX it's a good sign!!!

 

[.hopeful.one.]

Hooray Ashley for your +opk. Now comes the hard part... Waiting! Good luck.

5stars I had heartburn before my BFP too. FX for you!

Great news tie, I can't wait to see your scan photo

 

[ashleyg]

Thanks everyone. Hoping I get a positive too!
Here is tonight's opk....


So when do I start counting DPO? Would tomorrow I count it as 1dpo or do I keep testing until the tests aren't positive any longer and then count DPO?

 

[pinkpassion]

Ashley , if you aren't confirming O with temps, there's no way to know for sure what day you ovulate, some women get lucky and have o pains to help them know, but generally after a positive opk you can ovulate anywhere from 12-72 hours later, so that's a bif window , but I generally ovulate 24 hours after my true positive, so if you got positives yesterday you can count today as 0vulation day and start dpo tomorrow , unless you have O pain to pinpoint it!!!

 

[5starsplus1]

Thanks ladies for the help....I keep having dreams about being pregnant, I really hope all of this becomes reality...Just like I mentioned early on I really want to make June 29th a special day for my OH b/c his son past and June 29th is his son bday....Ladies please pray that all of this turns into a BFP at least for his sake!
