Lovely Ladies TTC

[carlywarly]

Well, my excitement turned into confusion.....just to make sure I did another OPK this afternoon, and - negative
The 2nd line went from non-existant to fairly strong both yesterday and today, but it is def not as strong as the control. But my monitor displayed today as "peak". Since the monitor measures LH as well, I wonder if I just got a batch of bad OPKs or my testing was off (drank too much or st). Very annoying.

I am tempted to not believe the OPKs since I had ovulation pain yesterday, EWCM for 3 days (4th day today actually) and now the peak on my monitor. Temps are unfortunately super erratic right now (haven't slept well lately) so that probably won't help.
What do you ladies think?

I noticed the fact that OPK's don't seem to be giving an accurate picture of things these days. Last cycle I didn't even NEARLY get a line as strong as control line - yet cb gave me smiley's for 2 days. This cycle my line got super dark (same batch) but didn't have cb smileys to confirm - oh and super dark was just about as strong (maybe not as strong...but it was hard to tell - if you know what I mean?) as control.

I got cb smiley's yesterday (cd 20) and my line was as dark as cd 18...now they are fading to nothing...so I am hoping cd 19 was the day!!

FX hun, and looking at your chart it certainly looks like you ovulated cd 18...my temps are SLOWLY rising - just hoping this cycle isn't annovulatory for me

I would just bd as planned to cover your bases. My cheap opk and cb opk matched test for test this month but my surge didn't last as long as last month. Go with your gut instinct since you clearly have multiple O signs. I wouldn't worry since you're going off your 1st surge which is great. Just keep bd until your temp starts to rise to confirm.

I hate the term 'chemical' too...I just had my second one this year...it really is still emotional and although not on the scale my mmc was, it still hurts

Carly~ I'm so sorry you went through a chemical (sorry for the term) in October. I just saw it in your signature but didn't realize the second time was during October I'm not very observant sometimes. that your next test is a bfp.

I'd be tempted to not trust the opk's either, I've had negative opk's when I'm sure I've o'd.

 

[MinnieMcMoose]

Still bfn today (I'm 11dpo according to the opk's or 9dpo if we go by the fact that I have 28 day cycles therefore should theoretically o on cd14, even tho opk was negative on that day).
Boobs are really hurting and have been since about 4dpo, but that's my only symptom now.

I think we'll take a break next month, coz we're going to Florida in January and if I catch next month I'd be around 8-10 weeks pregnant whilst we're there, and that's when I had the worst nausea and fatigue last time. What would you do?

How's everyone doing? We haven't had any bfp's in a while have we?

Hello Minnie...your not out yet...but I know it's still dissheartening!!! I am 8/9 dpo took a hpt..BFN!!! I feel fine no real symptoms. I my af isn't due til next Wednesday so early. I have 28 day cycles but got my smilie on cycle day 11 and 12. Who knows. I usually o on 14th, but thibk I did early this month...wasn't temping. GOOD LUCK..not out til witch shows. When is af due?

Well, I thought af should be due next Tuesday, but if the opk's were right, then it could be due Sunday. Or the opk's ARE right, and I the two halves of my cycle are not the same?

Either way, I've just started spotting, so I'm probably out. Technically it's not too late to be IB but I don't think it is

Now see, when I see other people testing at 8 dpo, I can see that it's too early, but it seems perfectly reasonable when it's me lol!
Keep testing! X

 

[Shannon30]

Hello Minnie..I KNOW it's way early...but just can't resist. Although I know I am setting myself up for dissappointment. If I am out this month I am also waiting til after Christmas...don't want to be sick around holidays...especially because I have other children. Maybe your spotting is IB..but I never got that with any of my pregnancies although I heard it's common. Good luck I know I will see your BFP..SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi ladies! I'm trying to find digital ovulation tests that I can buy online in bulk since I use one every day. But I was hoping maybe one of you have a go to site that is cheap. And also how do I upload my ff chart into signature?

 

[AuCa]

Sorry for the BFNs Shannon and Minnie I also find it very hard not to test super early (I'm already calculating when I can start testing for this cycle )
Sometimes I feel it is both a blessing and a curse that we have all these tests available to us....

Turns out that I must've tested with too dilute urine on my OPKs. I waited for a few hours and took another one yesterday evening, and it was without any doubt positive. Now I am thinking that even the one the day before probably was positive...
Anyway, temp rose today so I think I ovulated yesterday. 2WW can begin

@Hoover - sorry I can't help you. I never use the digital ones, and the store I get my other bulk ones from only has conventional tests.

 

[PurpleIvy44]

Shannon/Minnie~ Hang in there ladies you're not out yet!

AuCu~ You have a great temp spike.

Hoover~ Go to FF and click on the sharing tab then SetUp. Under the first box is Get Sharing Code/Buttons. Then copy the first box url "chart thumbnail" then open up B&B go to your signature on the left and paste it into the box. If you want the picture link then after you go to the sharing tab, click on tickers and it'll allow you to customize it. The link will appear at the end and you can copy/paste it the same way.

Woohoo lol...when are you testing?? (yep...I am going there already!!) Hahaha Good luck and FX x

Lol, I was looking at my chart already as well to see when I'll be able to test
I should be 9dpo in exactly a week from now, but might wait until 11dpo since Saturday is the day we get back home (gone for one week). I think I'll intentionally not bring any tests along...

Are you planning to test early or wait til AF due date?

Fx'ed for you as well!!!! Would be so nice to see another BFP!
