Hello Ladies,
I am a few pages behind lol...your girls make it hard to keep up. Ms Lola you asked me what type of opk kit i used. I dont, I go to my fertility clinic for cycle monitoring. Now I am on cd5, day two of fermara. I am feeling great. So glad to be here with my mom.....Happy holidays ladies.

Ok, I think I o'ed yesterday, today I have been feeling crampy spordically all day. I woke up with a "why bother" attitude but I went to the store and actually walked through the diaper aisle without the intense desire to tear everything off the shelves, I usualy avoid that aisle. In 5 days it will officially be a year since we started TTC but only 4 months since I started seeing my Dr for fertility issues.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays to you all!

Hi Lola - it's good to know that I'm not the only one who avoids the baby stuff in stores. Sometimes I think I've become bitter and I'm not a bitter person at all.

Persistence pays off ladies ... Here's to 2012 BFP's!!!!

Merry Christmas ladies. I have been banished from downstairs as DH plays with his Wii. My Christmas and New Year's wish is for every fertility challenged lady to have their dream healthy baby. xx

bitter--that is a good word for it, even that Burlington Coat Factory wiht all the coats for her and the hubs and twins and the new baby--in my head, im thinking "yeah, p*ss off, you AND your new baby" I have begun to see a therapist because this is not how I am, I used to love babies and always watched A Baby Story on TLC but I cant even stand that anymore...

A Baby Story! OMG .. I remember running home from high school to catch this show. My last class ended at 2:46pm and Baby Story started at 3pm ... I would run home for this show.

Merry Christmas everyone!!! I pray for strength for each one of us while we're on the most important journey of our lives.

Im so upset! Today is c11 and my FS said to start opking today. So around 2 I took a first response opkand it was VERY positive. Now im wondering if ive missed it. On top of that im very very sick. Vomit ting and diarehea. I dont know if I can bd. This sucks! I get my positive opk and cant do anything about it.

 

[Mommyagain]

Also is it normal to get a positive this early. I never ovulate early.

My Dr told me your not OVULATING your ABOUT to ovulate 12-48 hours. There was a question about taking Femara and early ovulation, well I have been temping Since September,and I have O'd day 15 every month. This month, I am on Cd 17, my temp has flatlined and FF cant detect my ovulation but I did have a temp dip on day 14, which im ASSUMING is my O day, one day earlier on my first cycle of Femara. Who knew you would need to be a rocket scientist to make babies--teenagers do it all the time!

My first cycle I had a pos opk on cd11 and cd 20ish , and I didnt even ovulate. opks are very tricky. Don't worry, but treat it as positive and let your hubby get on top and do the work

Thats what I was thinking, but didnt want to be the one to say it

mommyagain - yes, opk's are horrible. You can get a + and not ovulate, or you can ovulate without ever getting a +. You can also get multiple positives in one cycle. Once I had 4 days of positives before I actually ovulated. So keep testing and keep temping and get busy doing the deed! GL!

You kept testing after a positive? If i got positives more than once in a month, I wouldnt know it, Once I see lines I stop testing. its too confusing as it is and I dont save the strips because you arent supposed to read them after a certain amount of time anyways. I also temp and my temps are ALL over the map, if it wasnt for the computer TELLING Me i ovulated, I would have no idea if I did or not. let me see if i can post a link to my chart for this month....

Medication can have a definite impact on when you ovulate. Plus how many ppl have gotten pregnant whilst sick- loads!

 

[Mommyagain]

Im going for an u/s today to check for ovulation. I still havent bd yet but I am feeling so much better. Im going to try to bd this morning.

You ladies crack me up! If he had tried to get on top I wouldve probably puked on him. Lol.

 

[Cridge]

Lola - yes, I keep testing until I see my temp go up. I've had a few months where I get more than one day of positives. I pretty much hate opk's and only do them because my dr. wants to know if I see a positive. This last cycle I had a positive after I ovulated - which was confirmed by ultrasound. Weird, huh? I read the result right away and then throw the strip out. I've actually switched to digital because I usually have 2 lines and although when I see a definite positive, I know it, I hated trying to determine if the test line was just as dark as the control line.

When my pcos has been really out of control, my temps are here and there and everywhere, so I know how you feel. Your link isn't good though (sends me to my chart)... what you need to do is find the button below your chart that says "share" and then copy and paste the link they give you for bb's. I'd love to take a look at your chart.

Mommyagain - good luck at your u/s! Let us know how it goes.
