February 2016 BFPs - calling all love bugs

[mitchnorm]

Just read something very interesting about opks and lh surge.....I have always been curious about my ovulation pains, CM, opks etc and the order ring which they happen. We were often ttc after opks positive as I believed that the egg would typically be released in the next 24-48 hours....but three last two times I fell pregnant we dtd very much before opks were positive. I got ov pains and increased ewcm before the positive opks....Apparently over the age of 35 the lh surge on opks can happen almost simultaneously with egg being released and certainly with in a few hours. Over the age of 40 lh surge may not actually be high enough to give a positive opks until after egg released. I am 42. This makes perfect sense.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone relying 100% on opks x x

Thanks for this info. I Think my lh surge is extremely short. And even though I can feel ovulation pains, it still takes another day for the opk to be positive.

Yeah it actually said over 40...when you get a positive opk you could have already released the egg. It explains alot for me x x

Ttc, I'm really sorry about your mc but welcome back. Shall I put you down for 28th?

 

[TTC74]

The 28th is fine but I'm sure I'll be testing regularly before then.

Feeling a but crampy and gaggy....too early for AF as only day 24. Usual cycle length 29...post d&c was 33. Hmmmm

 

[TTC74]

Hi ladies! Bfn at 7 DPO. Shocking, I know. With all the brown spotting, I can't help but bee optimistic, though. I almost wish I didn't get the spotting so that I hadn't got my hopes up.

 

[Xokittycatxo]

Mitch and TTC74....sounds good! I'll be keeping my eye peeled for updates

 

[elliecain]

Praying, any joy this week?

 

[TTC74]

Con anyone see anything here? A shadow maybe I'm only 8 DPO but I did have spotting on 6 & 7 DPO.

Yes! I can still hardly believe it I want to post pics of my test but I'm technologically challenged and can't figure out how to do it from my phone I took a test Thursday last week and hadthe faintest line it was barely visible. I retested Friday morning and twice Friday afternoon at work I just couldn't believe that all of the tests were Positive.
we've been trying for 8 months and I really wanted to get pregnant before my 36th birthday and it happened just in time. I had an appointment with a fertility specialist on March 1st.

good luck to all of you still Testing in February. I love this group for its support and encouragement and I will keep checking in for updates

 

[elliecain]

Hoping against all hope that this professional tweaker from baby center knows what she's talking about bc here's what she said about the test I submitted.

 

[TTC74]

I fully saturated my fmu FRER. I know it's silly, but I thought I might see something and wanted to see what I could pull out. I see the start of a second line. Especially at the top. Am I just insane or is this possibly a good sign of things to come?

Something is there! Hoping it's a start of a bfp for you 😊

Did you post on the FF forums? Those ladies have eagle eyes lol

 

[TTC74]

Lol. I didn't. I'm just looking forward to the morning so I can do my fmu FRER. I will say I caved with an 88 cent cheapie. I think I see something.
