well since you don't actually ovulate for at least 12 hours after a pos opk, if it's neg tomorrow....i would let him stay and if it's pos monday morning....then you won't ovulate until at least monday night and even then the egg will wait around for i think 12 hours, so it's good to let him stay if negative sunday. :D
 
Oh thank you mama for that! I'm feeling like a psycho girlfriend already, making him come home to have sex. Phew. I may make him come home anyways, 'cause I'm selfish... But you made me feel so much better!
 
that's what we're here for, hw....we're friends, supporters and always here for you to make you feel better! <3 :hugs:
 
Add-on to the question: if the opk is pos Monday, is it better for us to have sex on Sunday night? Or it really is ok mon, tues, wed? We would have a 2 day gap (fri, then Monday).
 
i would wait until monday if pos opk on mon.... i've been doing the 2 day gap also,(every other day) i just think it's betterfor the spermies. :D Good luck to you girl! FX!
 
Did you girlies get your positives yet?

Well, that sneaky witch got me today. When I woke up this morning, my temp had dipped slightly, so I knew she was coming. Yesterday, I thought I'd be upset, but I'm okay. On to the next cycle. I don't know if it's from AF or if I'm getting sick, but I have a massive headache and my stomach is a little off. Awesome way to spend my only day of in a week.
 
oh bray i'm sooo sorry hun! Great way to stay positive and keep moving forward! And no, I did not get a positive yet....haven't tested today yet though, i will around noon. And, my temp was low this morning, like it usuaully is before ovulation, but why didn't i get a positive yet?..maybe i missed my surge this time or maybe i'll get it today?...i don't know. :(
 
Hi!
Neg opk for me this am also, but lovely ewcm so I told OH he had to come home. I'm paranoid about having three nights off, and don't want to waste this lovely environment. I think my pos opk will be Monday or Tuesday, so Sunday night bd is a must.
Bummer bray! We were all hoping, but we're here for you!
Mama, I wonder what's going on? You must be delayed, but not sure why. Any chance you were surrounded by other women and they threw your cycle off? It's coming, and you still are DTD every other day, so deep breath, cookie, and more poas. Woo hoo, so fun! Stop by my house; I'm making a pumpkin roll today with cream cheese frosting. :)
Hugs ladies! Cookies and wine all around!
 
Yummy! and take advantage of that cm! I've been using preseed so can't check my cm and I don't really get any anyways. I don't know what is going on...all i ca do is keep temping and opking and bding every other day and kind of hope i missed my surge or it hasn't come yet. I really hope this isn't a month i don't even ovulate or have a chance. Really the only thing that was different was i was sick the first week of my cycle. This sucks.
 
hw and mama, I hope today is the day! I think I'm going to start taking my opk's at work. Not today or anything... I don't really want to, but if they're more accurate...which I don't get...why would you have enough of that hormone in your system to generate a positive in the morning, but not enough to actually ovulate??? So, do I just need to take it w/my 2nd pee or just wait until I have a 4 hour time span sometime through out the day? I was thinking of doing it on my lunch (noon), but I generally pee at least twice between 8 and noon. Also, is it best not to drink anything? Sorry for the 20 questions, I just don't want to miss it this month. I WANT A BABY AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!!:brat:

***Collects her composure***

laus I'm really excited to hear what they have to tell you today. It may be that the hospital that you're having the lap done will contact you. I think that's what happened with me, the person who schedules the surgeries called me (but I'm pretty sure I got impatient and called her first and left a message...ya know...just to make sure she didn't forget about me...yea, I'm annoying like that:haha:). Anyways, hope it's all good (and timely) news for you!
 
ok, Bray....let's see. You get your lh surge prior to ovulation which the lh surge just tells the follicle it's time to release an egg. You can get an lh surge (pos opk) but yet still not ovulate. So, either that can happen or some women have a very short lh surge and it is best to test 2 timesa day. Say around 11am and 4pm....that way if they test twice a day they are more likely to find their short surge. Because some women have reported not getting a pos opk but get a bfp. They just missed the surge I guess. So your either a)not ovulating.... or b)missing your surge entirely. I would suggest testing at least 2 times a day for a pos opk. and of course temping your whole cycle so you can understand your body. Hope that helped.

ok, for me...haven't tested yet today for opk, but temp jumped kind of a lot from yesterday and it's in the range of post-o BUT it feels to me it's not quite enough. And the first day i temped, it was higher and the 3rd day i temped it was higher (than what it is today), i am just really confused and thinking getting sick the beginning of my cycle totally threw my hormones off and i am not going to ovulate at all (i've read it can delay it or you won't at all), so we will see what opk today brings later on.
 
Hey Bray sorry she got you huni, at least its a new month with renewed hope :hugs:

Mama, i think by the sounds of it you might have O early and just missed your surge with an opk but you did bd so you will have covered your bases hun fx

Hw, i am the same with my dh hun so its cool. I hope you get your pos opk soon hun.

ladies, sorry i have missed so much. I have been quite ill with this allergic reaction to the soy tablets. Seriously the whole right side of my face looks like someone has pumped me up like a hot air balloon and added a few big lumps for good measure. Went the drs and he just said take some anti immflamatories :growlmad: So i have and nothing, didnt change a damn thing. but also just started taking some antihistamines (totally spelt wrong lol)

Also i got my peak today cd12 and i know that the soy brought O forward, but its just wrong wrong wrong because i have been taking the antihys....whatever and they dry you out. Also i have no preseed left but did use a soft cup last night when we bd. Arrrrrrrgh WHY DO THINGS NEVER GO RIGHT????????????????????

On the good side got a letter today saying i am on the waiting list and should receive another letter very soon for me pre op app.

I look like sloth out of the goonies :cry:
 
good morning ladies!
wow, so much has already happened!
bray, i test twice a day, starting on cd10. i do FMU and then when i get home from work, about 10-12 hours apart (hence the internet strips as i would be broke with the nicer ones). i try not to pee for 2 hours before the second strip, but it doesnt always happen that way. for me and my body, it doesnt seem to have a negative effect: if it's positive in the AM, it will be positive in the PM. i also keep testing until the sticks are negative again (i like to see how long my surge is, i'm weird like that).
Mama, we're all waiting for you to test! i'm very curious how this cycle will turn out for you... what day are you on right now? i'm on cd19 and just got my pos opk...
laus, good news about the appt; bad news about the reaction, yikes! it's good to hear that you got your peak today and you bd last night - nothing you can do about the antihistamines drying you up, at least you got the deed done and SoftCup in. FX!
afm, nice dark positive opk this AM. SO GLAD i made OH come home last night and dtd. weird question: we had sex about 1am (monday), then i got the pos opk. so - is it ok to have sex again tonight? it will be less than 24 hours in between... i think it is... probably will anyways... and i also put my SoftCup in, which i now love. OH is being such a good sport! will get back on soon and see all your updates! hugs!
 
one other thing i wanted to share with you ladies - because you're the only ones who will understand - while i love the SoftCups and think they work well, it does make me laugh to be post-dtd hear OH say "dont forget your cup" and then listen to the sweet, romantic sound of plastic crinkling as i try to not so tactfully/quietly put that device in :)
 
hw i am cd17 today, 3 days late for getting pos opk last 3 months. I don't think I did ovulate yet laus, i really think i'm not going to at all this month. I have to pee so bad right now, but i'm trying to wait til noon. I'll update shortly!! And I'm so happy for you that you got your pos opk, now it's my turn, maybe?
 
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got my :D SMILEY!!!!! Better bd in the am when hubby gets home! Damnit, i have preseed but no applicators! what am i gonna do...wash one really good and reuse it? omg, i'm happy!!!!!!!!!! :D
 
Let's see....we last bd yesterday morning when he got home from work. Hmm...should we before he goes to work or when he gets home, i've got to decide!!
 
yay Mama - we knew it was coming! something just moved you by 3 days! you can always just use your finger for preseed, or even a tampon applicator (sorry if those ideas sounds gross, they're just ideas). we are so excited for you! can you get the bd's about 24 hours apart? i would try to go for that - it's going to be my plan as well!
wow, crazy, you me and laus all peaked on the same day - i'm telling you we can "smell" our pheramones over the internet, ha!
 
:happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
(for you mama! you didnt miss it afterall, woohoo!)
