February 2019 Testing Thread <3 Come on BFP’s!!

[MrS. MaBrEy]

hi! I'll be testing 2/6!

This will be #3 and I am known for testing positive around 7/8 DPO with both of my boys. We will see if my positive OPK happens soon.

Nice to be back around here.

Welcome to the new ladies I’ve added you on!

Officially got my first positive opk today and managed to get in a session of bd at like 12am this morning lol. Gonna give it another go this evening and then tomorrow afternoon.

Hi! My first post here. I'm due for AF Feb 5th, so planning to test then. We've been TTC for a few months. I've been temping and using OPKs, and this is the first month since August that I haven't seen a clear temp shift. Also had a string of positive OPKs (five??) and normally only get two days of pos OPK with O occurring on second day according to my temps.

This whole cycle has been weird and of course now I'm panicking that I didn't even ovulate. I must say I've been like clockwork since i started tracking. O'd CD 14 first two months, and CD 16 the next three, with an overall cycle length of 28-29 days. I have a general checkup with my gyn in a few weeks, and it's been about six months since we started trying, so I'm going to talk to her about it and see what she recommends. I turned 36 in Nov. Good luck to everyone!

On a side note, can anyone recommend a good brand of OPKs? Not happy with the easy@home ones, and I like the First response ones but they are quite expensive.

Hey hun, I use the cb digital ovulation tests and it really takes out the guess work more me. They are a bit pricey where I am but they are really work it to track O. I am cd12 today and Got my smiley on my test today so I know I should O by cd13/14.

I also track cervical position and bbt temps. My chart is looking very similar right now to my chart from the cycle I got my bfp so here’s hoping.

Let us know how u are getting on!

I use Wondfo OPKs. I like them a lot and they’re pretty inexpensive through Amazon. I just bought a vaginal temping device called Ovusense that predicts O based on temps. I didn’t even know that was possible! Unless you’ve been struggling to conceive for awhile though, I wouldn’t fork over the money. I’m old (for TTC). So, it was worth it for me.

So . . . I got crosshairs this morning on FF. Ovusense hasn’t confirmed O yet. It will be interesting to see if they agree. So far, Ovusense thinks I’m only 2 DPO, but like I said, it has not finalized O date yet.

nevermind no longer ttc for next 3 months

I love seeing how all these devices come together to predict ovulation! OPKs are great for knowing that you’re about to ovulate soon and temping is awesome for confirming ovulation is over! Together with cp and fluid it’s amazing what we can tell about our bodies. Ttc is really something special!

At least u are in the tww now! No more pressure to bd hehe

Looking forward to your results!

Exciting!!! Baby dust to you!!

Hey ladies, my DH is feeling pressured and doesn’t want this whole process to take the love out of ... how do I keep from getting too anxious to BD at the right time, without making him feel used?

This is our final pregnancy, so I’m excited

Hi ladies anyone know about these charts on FF? I'll add mine but I really thought I was 6 or 7dpo today but according to FF I'm only 5dpo .
My AF is due the 6th or 7th of Feb.
I was getting some weird symptoms since ovulation. My left breast has been very tender since Thursday and I was getting shooting pains.
Then on Sunday I was have mild belly cramps around the right overy area and also pelvic pain and as the evening wore on I suddenly got these very very sharp stabbing pinching pains again around the right overy. The next day which was yesterday all the pains stopped.
My breast is still slightly tender but not as bad.
The only really weird thing was that last night I noticed mg sence of smell was very very very strong. Weird considering I keep getting a blocked nose. I cud smell stuff that no one else cud smell.
Still I think I'm out this month because the symptoms have gone today.
I did do a very cheap test last night and it was a BFN but it's probably way way to early.
Anyway I thought id add my chart. My test again Sunday but I really don't think this is my month. Surly if I was pregnant then the symptoms wud get stronger and not just dispeaer.

partners ship is leaving, he won't be back for a while

 

[pamg]

I'm 1dpo today! Could you put me down for testing 7th Feb please. I have a short lp so I probably wont even get to there but will put it down just incase! I will be cd26 by then! On month 20 of TTC!

I hear ya! It was so awkward getting geared up for ttc bd this time lol. We try as much as possible to have fun with it, sometimes we end up laughing through the whole thing and it makes it fun lol. Sometimes we just do extra foreplay to get more in the mood even if it’s just a massage. Maybe try wearing stuff or doing stuff that get both of u going. I tell my dh when we need to and we improv it haha.

Honestly when it gets too much I tell him let’s just make it a quickie As long as the boys get where they need to be

Oh no sorry to hear you have to wait...

Hope these next three months go by really quick!

It looks like your timing of your temps is off and some missing so ff will try and use the info given to pinpoint O but unfortunately it won’t be accurate.Are u tracking O any other way?

The month I got my bfp I had little to no symptoms compared to other months ttc.

 

[TTC74]

Why isn’t there an impatient mood? We POASaholics get very impatient early in the TWW!

Oh no I'm so sorry. When he returns I hope you get pregnant strait away. Good luck.

Hi hon yes I am. I did opks. I got my positive last Tuesday morning. Also had all the ovulation symptoms. Pain in right hand overy area and lower back ache. It lasted 3 days. Monday Tuesday and Wednesday so because I got the positive opk last Tuesday I figured the egg was released on Tuesday evening or sometime Wednesday.
By Thursday all the aches and pains had gone. Then Friday had terrible shooting pains in my right breast and it was so tender to touch. Still is a little tender now but not as bad and haven't had any more shooting pains since Friday.

Sunday afternoon was getting light cramping in the right overy area again and then very very sharp sudden pinchy pains in the late evening. Almost felt like ovulation again. I did do a opk again just to make sure but was negative. I've only had the one positive OPK and that was a week ago.
Temps have been elevated since. But it so unusual for me to have a temp over 37c. I'm always 36c. I'm only 37c or more if I'm unwell. But apart from keep getting a stuffy blocked nose I'm completly normol. Not unwell at all so it's very odd.
Sorry this is so much writing.
