My temp keeps going down. I'm going to put my thermometer away until I'm actually late. Still feeling quite nauseous!

 

[cutieq]

FX crossed Frenchie. Give yourself a day or two to relax. You're sooo close! When will you be late?

 

[frenchie35]

AF should be here sometime Monday. If it still hasn't started by Wednesday morning I'll test.

Good luck Frenchie!! I hope that stays away!!!

Cutieq - My OPK guru...lol!! Look at my test today. Does it get darker still before considering it positive???

 

[cutieq]

Deal that's a REALLY strong line! I answered in the other thread, but will be more thorough here

Here is my positive aka strongest line I've ever had.

If that's not your positive, you have to be like 1 day away from it. I would test this evening to see what looks like if you have tests to spare. You want the test line as close to if not darker than the control.

Thanks Cutie!!! You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And a positive OPK means ovulation should be about 24 to 36hrs away right?

I'll def test again tonight - if I can hold my pee for a couple hours again. That part is rough!!!!!!!!

haha. we're all just learning together! Yep 24-36 hours away. A positive means it's time to get busy! Most women go every day for the 3 days after a positive.

I've started testing in the evenings too, so around 4 PM, I have to start focusing on the hold

I'm having some low steady "cramping" it's not really like AF but I've experienced the sensation during regular cycles. I might use my ic in the morning.... if i do I'll post it.... I'm so tired and phlegmy ; (

 

[Deal9027]

Fx fx fx Kwynia!!!!! I hope you get your BFP!!!!

 

[macydarling]

Hi everyone. Thought I would check in with a BFN at 9dpo Boo.

 

[kwynia]

oops, woke up at 530 to pee, didn't realize until mid stream that I was going to test this morning so it was too late. just now I coughed and felt a gush, ran to the bathroom, AF? nope, just discharge, clear and watery and a lot.... also still have the low pain just over my pelvic bone, thinking maybe i actually have a UTI? No pain while peeling though....ugh waiting....a few more days....sigh

 

[MegNE922]

Hey girls I'm still here too! The last page I saw was 90 and I missed up to 140 I can't keep up! Lol.
How's everyone? I'm not taking the Clomid this month. I have a dr's apt Tuesday and I want a scan to see what's going on and make sure everything's ok. Until then there's no point to take it. We're still going to BD and maybe do the pineapple experiment but that's it.

 

[cutieq]

Hi ladies. Kwynia that's just one more day for your line to be darker! Fx.

Meg, hoping you get good results. I have an ultrasound Friday to help prevent chemicals.

 

[MegNE922]

I'm interested to see what my Md recommends or what he has to say about my + turn -.
I feel like he's going to recommend us to a fertility specialist. But I'm not freaking out just yet lol.

He had told us there were a few way to check ovarian blocks. 1 was a day surgery where they go into your belly button and down into your uterus ( I want to skip that one! ) and one where they use a dye an see how far it goes. He offers a water flush but says often it's not effective or doesn't produce good results.
Idk.

I was wondering. If you have trouble conceiving your first are you guaranteed to have trouble in the future? Or vice versa?

 

[cutieq]

I'm going to the doc on Friday myself. Everything I've read says that a loss does not guarantee future loss. I've had 2 and I'm praying it's over for me.

Got my smiley this morning on my OPK! High fertility still not peak yet. Flashing Smiley - If the user has intercourse today she will increase her chance of getting pregnant, but she must also test again the following day. (Posting for anyone unfamiliar with digitals)

 

[Deal9027]

Woohoo!! Let your BD marathon begin!! I think today is the big O for me. I'll know for sure if I see a temp spike tomorrow morning!!

 

[Deal9027]

Ok so I bought one but can someone give me the exact details of what I'm supposed to do with it please ?!?!!!!

 

[kwynia]

Im still feeling like something is going on, this may sound weird but all day my downtown feels like it does after BD only we havent for a few days. Constant small cramp in my uterus occasionally painful, not super wet but not dry. Amd my lower back is just killing me. But I also have the AF is coming feeling so I am over analyzing every wipe, do I see a tinge of tan or is it just a little yellow from pee? Cervix is high, BMs are regular.....I think I covered everything lol oh wait, I have also been going on crazy cleaning spurts like deep cleaning the bathrooms and attacking weeds in the backyard.

Whoo deal. I'm doing this too.

1. Purchase a ripe pineapple.
2. Use a knife to remove the pineapples exterior.
3. Cut through the middle of the pineapple, from top to bottom, leaving halves to work with.
4. From each half, slice six to eight equally sized wedges.
5. After confirmed ovulation (or an embryo transfer, in the case of In-Vitro Fertilization), begin consuming one to two slices of pineapple each day.
It is important to remember not to core the pineapple – you will want some core in each of your slices, as the core contains the highest concentration of bromelain. One to two slices is really the most you should ingest in a single day as well. And because of the blood thinning properties, you should also avoid taking aspirin (or any other medicinal blood thinners) while consuming pineapple on a daily basis.
