[klsltsp]

Hey ladies

Sounds like everyone is coming along, and heading towards those bfps!!

Sara I've seen your other thread fingers crossed for yoU!!!

Petzy I have a feeling this is your month!!!

Charlie your opks look great!! awesome news for you! I've never used opks I think I'd be totally confused! hahaha

AFM well my hcg was 21 today... going down slowly but surely, was 33 last week, 45 the week before... sigh... on the up side I staretd my period today, so hopefully that will help to get me down to under 5. I figured I would get my period since I'm back on bcp and this was the week!! so it seems like my body is getting back to normal.

Hope everyone is getting ready for Christmas!!! I have SOOOO much left to do, trying not to stress out too much

Hey you! So glad you are getting back to normal If you have AF your numbers should drop you are right...

I hear you re Xmas... luckily I did 95% of my shopping on Amazon this year which was so amazingly easy lol.... not much else to get other than 2 or 3 things... but I need to wrap! and cook! ahhh lol.. I feel your pain

And thanks... keep that feeling alive haha!! I hope you are right xx

Now you have af hun hopefully the hcg will drop right out for you! Im nearly done xmas shopping i done most online, just a few odd bits left to do now

Done my opk today and by the looks of it the EWCM was just my body gearing up for ovulation, here is the test, iv never done these before so does this look positive?

Which one is the control line? If the control line is the one on the right (in the circle) then YES it is positive If the test line and the control line are of EQUAL darkness, or if the test line is DARKER than the control line, it is a positive OPK and you can expect to O within 12-36 hours of the positive OPK Your "true positive" is the darkest OPK that you get.. mine usually looks like yours

If you want a good chance, get BD'ing hehe!!

 

[o0oCharlieo0o]

The test line is on the left, control line is the one in circle on the right bd'd last night so thats a start lol!! Thanks hun x

That's a strong positive - good work! See they can be pretty useful ! If you BD last night that's great.. the rule of thumb is to continue to BD for a few days after the positive, because it can take up to a couple of days to O. Some ladies know their bodies well enough to tell when, but I sure don't! I get literally NO signs of O, so I need my OPK....

 

[o0oCharlieo0o]

Thanks hun, yea i usually either know when ovulation is or there abouts, mainly every other month i know beause i get sharp pains in my right ovary when i ovulate that side probably cos of the pcos. But my body has acted very strange since mc and i wouldnt know when ovulation was this month without the opks lol ill be sure to try BD for the next few days then xx

 

[klsltsp]

good luck with the bd'ing charlie!! I chuckle when I see your posts about opks since I have never used them and would have the same questions!! Now I'm wondering if I should try them ... I still have a couple of months to think about it, can't start trying until about feb..

 

[Petzy]

Ok did I seriously just get my positive OPK on CD 11??? like WTF its not supposed to come till Sat or Sunday .... what do you think?

That almost worries me. Thank goodness I am using OPK's! I did notice some slippery CM just now when I took the OPK... Didn't think I would have BD "after effects" since it was at like 7am today!

Gimme input ladies xx

 

[klsltsp]

it looks positive, how long is your cycle normally? I have a 21 - 23 day cycle and o around CD 7 - 10.... so totally possible!! looks like you need to get to bd'ing too hahaha or maybe sound like you are okay to

 

[o0oCharlieo0o]

The test line looks darker than control to me hun eeek we ovulating on same day could end up due babies on same day lol! Xx

 

[slg76]

looks positive to me petzy. Get busy lady

Usually I am 27/28 day cycle but I suppose since this is my first period cycle since the M/C that anything is possible... I am not opposed to a shorter cycle. I guess that means I am going to have to start my progesterone earlier than CD21.. I should ask my clinic.

Haha - yep we are definitely cycle buddies this round Charlie. Good luck doll xx Lets get some Xmas BFPS around here

 

[o0oCharlieo0o]

congrats on your positive OPK Charlie! I may have missed it but I take it is your first time using them? I find I usually ovulate the day after I get a dark positive, but I do think it varies from person to person.

Petzy - nice positive! That's def positive...! When it comes to TTC, ovulating on day 12 or 13 sounds awesome, less waiting around!

I'm 4 dpo now, yay. This is the boring time though. My temp is up higher than it was last month, I'm not sure if that means anything though

Hope you are all doing well!!

Charlie and I aren't far behind you ! Looks like we are all counting down together. Do you plan to test early? what do you usually do? xx

 

[qwk]

I got my BFP with my son at 11 dpo and with my miscarriage also at 11 dpo, so 11 seems like the "right" day, that's probably what I'll go with What about you guys?

 

[o0oCharlieo0o]

Im torn between testing on xmas day (if no af) or testing sooner so if im not pregnant i can have a drink xmas eve lol i wouldnt get drunk anyway but a drink, i wouldn't drink a sip tho if i was pregnant xx

 

[o0oCharlieo0o]
