Tilly~ Glad to see you here again! I was worried bout you! I've become addicted to this board, and I was going through withdrawl not seeing you on here LOL!
I decided on monday to get some OPK tests because monday night at work I felt a sharp pain on my left side low, and thought "Ok that may be gas, but why not see for sure?" SO I went to the store and bought a pack. Got a faint line, but dismissed it cause it was so faint. Tested the next day and TADA! there it was bright and bold. I was so proud of myself !
The thing that I am somewhat confused about is, Should the pain come before the LH surge, or after? I would have assumed after as its the chemical that makes the eggie move.
Either way I got my pos opk tuesday, tested again wednesday and it was as faint as monday. Tues was CD10 for me. So I am assuming by the pos OPK, pain on monday night and CM findings that I ovd on Dec 2. (wich is way earlier than what FF predicted on the calendar BTW)
Waiting to see if my temp stays up and FF marks me down for ov on that day.
I am kinda in the same boat as you though, I don't think I planned the BD time quite right. We shoulda been busy on Nov 30 and Dec 1, or at least dec 1.
Geez I am neurotic arent I?
If you are having pain now, I wouldn't be surprised if you get a pos OPK in the next few days. That's what happened with me!
I thought I would go without charting for a few months too, but I got sucked in... Damn the BnB girls!LOL!! At first I said to myself "we'll see how it goes, I know my body well enough" Then I said, "well I should be tracking my symptoms at least, that BBT thing is too tough to figure out" Now I am imputting anything and everything I think is applicable just so I can see it appear on my chart!
Keep testing, and keep BDing and Keep your chin up!
