i changed my pos opk to just one day instead of two days (cause remember i told y;all it was pos in the morning, neg in the evening?) and FF changed my ov day back to cd19. i know it may be working the system a little bit, but a) i really feel like i know my body and b) i really want it to say "high" instead of "good", for the voices in my brain to be content. call me crazy if you want, but i'm 4dpo. not 3dpo.
 
ooooh, so quiet around here today.... freakin' me out a bit....
 
hey ladies whatsssss suuuupppp lol

Heather i think its great you get to have that precious time with your girls :) My dh is in the military and we have to move from place to place. My last job i was working as a fitness instructor in a forensic mental health unit working with women. I absolutely loved it and was gutted to give it up. Before that worked in a gym teaching etc.... Atm i dont work but have been taking the time to concentrate on ttc. When we move jan i will get another job unless i get pg of course. fx

rachel, mirolee i think its lovely that you both enjoy your jobs its not often that it happens :)

I cant remember what dpo i am girls :dohh: i am just not really keeping track this month. Got my letters today confirming my app so i am just concentrating on that.

My dh has to go away for three weeks monday so wont see him :( Going to use the time and get back into the gym i think!
 
Thanks Laura... sounds good and I hope your feeling better and back to normal from the soy reaction. Whatever happens in your future is meant to be. I hope you get preggo before you move. I pray you get preggo before you move. That sucks your hubby is leavin for 3 weeks. It will go fast before you know it. At least he'll be back to go with you to your appt, right? :hugs: to you.
 
hey heather thanks hun. He will be away for the pre op app but i have my friend who is coming with me. I need someone there just in case i dont take something in ha ha

My dh will be back for the actual op so thats good. What dpo are you on heather and mirolee?
Rachel what cd are you on hun?

I cannot for the life of me remember what dpo i am haha. But from the looks of my temps i might not have ovulated at all. They have stopped increasing to 97.90 and normally post O they go up to about 98.34? I think it either has something to do wih the antibiotics or the soy? Oh well never mind :shrug:

where is sni?
 
That is great you have someone going with you for support. Glad your hubs will be there for the actual op. I am 4dpo today...havent felt a thing since before i ovulated. Around then, man i was achey and crampy. We'll see what the next few days bring. I wonder if my cycle will be a little longer since i O 2-3 days late? I already had only like an 11 day lp...I guess I will not test until I am at least 9dpo..but might just let it go and wait til 10dpo. So like 6 more days! Me and my family are going to red lobster to eat today...i love their cheddar bay biscuits! I HATE seafood! lol I just eat a chicken salad.
 
Hello sleeping in Saturday morning!
5dpo. Nothing special. Laura, it must've very hard to have your husband away. When mine leaves, even for a weekend, I tend to roam around the empty house or lay on the couch the whole time. I hope the soy situation is better but if you think you have not O'd, that wouldn't be too surprising, as it had such an effect on your body. Plus, soy increases estrogen, right? So that could shift O as well. Oh man, good luck, keep temping.
Heather, have fun at RL. I like seafood and live on the coast so eat it regularly. If I test, it will be on Sunday morning, October 6 or 7, whichever is Sunday. I will be 12dpo then.
 
hey heather, i love love love seafood. I dont think i have ever been to red lobster before? I'm in the uk though and dont think we have them over here? I hope you and your family have a nice time and meal out :)

Hey mirolee, yes it can become a little difficult sometimes but i knew what i was getting myself into when i married him. I'm a fool in love :haha: The hives are going now but have left horrible scabs in their place sorry tmi :cry: I prob have'nt O but i dont mind this month! The soy did move my O day forward by two days, so says cbfm :shrug:

I have decided not to test this month at all, unless of course there is no af.
 
hey girls just thought i would say a quick hello and to let you ladies know that i will be away until sat. My dh is taking the computer and i have no way of getting to another one till he gets back at the weekend. Then he will be taking it again :(

So i hope you all have a lovely week ladies, sending you all lots of :dust: and good luck. Will speak to you all soon, Take care :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: one for each of you :)
 
we will miss you,Laura! and at least you can get on the comp again next weekend so you can see some updates of hopefully 2 bfps! Right, Mirolee? :D :hugs: to you too!
 
I will test probably, friday the 5th as i will be 10dpo. I might be tempted to on thursday but i think i'll be able to toughen up up and let it go ;) Plus I am expecting af Saturday, as since I O late i'm still going by cycle days not lp. If that's the case, 10 day lp might not be good :( Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
 
Miss you already Laura!!! Like Mama said, hopefully you'll return to good news.
 
So, I got a smiley on my OPK today...and I even waited until my second pee (waited 4 hours...it was complete torture!:haha:) That just seems SO early. I'm only CD8. I know it was early last month too...I don't know what to think. DH and I bd last night, but I didn't use any soft cups, or preseed and I got up to pee afterwards. I haven't noticed any cm. I saw SOMETHING Friday, but I wasn't sure if it was left overs from bding the night before. Grrr... Heather, what brand of OPK's do you use? I always use the clear blue digital kind and when I was using them more regularly, I would always check the strip afterwards, I don't remember them bleeding as bad as they have this month and last month and it's ONLY on the days I get my positive. I don't know what to think. I guess we'll just bd the next three days...or do you think I should wait until tomorrow??? Do you think I should retest in another 4 hours? *Screams while looking down at lady parts* I HATE YOU AND HOW CONFUSING YOU ARE!!! :dohh:
 
Bray, I use cb digital too...i have seen it bleed one time i got a smiley...i think your getting too much pee on the stick. Only let it in your stream for 4 or 5 secs. Maybe your already doing that but maybe just coincidence they are bleeding. Cb digital tests are a good 99% accurate so yes retest again later and see what it says. Remember you can get your smiley but not actually ovulate, but you may later. If you bd lastnight, just either do it in the am or tomorrow night. Remember you won't actually ovulate if you do for another 12-36 hours and then the egg will wait for the sperm for another 12 hours. You have time. Keep opking in case you don't O and get another surge later in your cycle. How long was your last cycle with getting a pos opk this early? Keep temping to confirm O!!! I swear I read it unusual to have a lp of 16 plus days, so say you O tomorrow cd9 and 16 days from that would be a 25 day cycle. Talk to your obgyn if your cycles last longer than 26. Good luck to you and FX and I'm glad you got a pos opk though. Can't wait to hear in the next few days if your temps go up! Keep us updated!
 
So, I just took another test and negative. I can just barely make the out the outline of where the line is supposed to be. Do you think it's possable that I peed on it too much the first time which caused some of the color to run which caused the digital part to think it was positive? I'm just going out on a limb here...
 
even if you did get too much pee...the results of cb digital opk test are high percent accurate. I have tested before next time i peed after getting a positive and i got a negative...so you could still O, just temp and see if your temp goes up to confirm it. You must have a short surge like me and we just barely catch it. I'lldo some googling and see what i find.
 
oh yeah i've read too that even if you get smiley, to ignore the lines...a positive is a positive and they don't have to be as dark as each other. maybe it was at first and then it bled?
 
I came across this:

I was concerned that the cd13 2:45am positive was a false positive so I called the ClearBlue helpline today (only open mon-fri) & explained my concerns, this is what they told me:

CB Digital OPK's will NEVER show a false positive. The little digital monitor that you insert the stick into records previous info from other tests that you have taken & is looking for an INCREASE in LH since your last test. They said that had I of tested late at night on Cd12 like I had planned to, they would of expected me to see the smiley face based on the info I supplied them. When I tested in the morning after the smiley face & it showed Negative, this is because it is unlikely that the LH had surged more so the monitor didn't pick up an INCREASE.....it doesn't mean that there was not any LH in my urine.

Also, they said that Digital OPKS's work very differently to regular line OPK's and not to compare them. With regular OPK's you shouldn't test with FMU, but with digitals it is advised that you do because they are looking for an extra hormone & to IGNORE any lines that are on the digital stick as the naked eye can not read them & not to test again once you get a as it is pointless re the monitor looking for even more of a surge than the one it picked up. This is also why you can't resuse the digital monitor with a new pack....you need to throw it out & start again with the new packs monitor.....(Once you have your smiley, stop testing & you CAN save any sticks that you haven't used & use them during your next cycle with the same monitor)
 
Oh my! So many confusing things to keep track of! I do not use the cbfm but I do have a short surge - a pos opk in the AM and PM, maybe a pos the next morning. That's it. So about 24 hours - and I just learned thru you gals that I shouldn't use fmu for my ic strips. Hm, I wonder if that's one (of many) thing I'm doing wrong. Oh brother! Bray, not sure what to say except bd and cover your bases, then keep testing. Heather seems to be on the ball about this, so def listen to her good counsel!
Laura, we will miss you! I hope there is good news on this thread when you return!
