General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

OPK is basically positive this afternoon, Premom told me it was a T/C line ratio of 0.84 but I’m considering it visually positive. That puts us at O-2 timing with a full deposit BD. Of course right after we said we can’t try for at least a year, my body throws in a super late ovulation to trick me

O-2 is how I got pregnant with my son. Good luck to you! I say you have a great chance!

I’ve had a lot of months where my urine progesterone levels have been either really up and down or generally low, so I want to get a blood test to see a more accurate picture. If I don’t end up being pregnant, and it’s low, I’ll have more information for the future.

I'm so sorry about the dog! So sad! Poor DH

I think I ovulated today, we managed to get O-1 and O-4 if so, hopefully that's good enough, it was hard because we are hosting family for the holidays

@autumnal O-1 is fantastic! It’s the day with the highest chances, 42% I believe.

My temp went nuts last night, which I’m thrilled about. Urine progesterone dropped a little bit, but still above 10. My only major complaint right now is that I’m still spotting after bowel movements, and it turned pink/light red. Very light and watery, but I’m not thrilled about the switch to fresher blood.

Re: the dog, she had a very peaceful passing. When we saw her, we immediately knew it was the right choice. She looked exhausted and gaunt and stressed, it was like the light had been sucked out of her. But she was awake and enjoyed being cuddled so DH got to say goodbye and give lots of pets. His brother is several hours away and called to talk to the dog over the phone. Heartbreaking, really. But she was ready.
