Need some buddies 1dpo, its a waiting game!

morning ladies!
so, neg opk this morning. i would bet money it will turn positive on monday (cd18) - my pattern seems to be EWCM ~4days before pos opk. so i told OH that he def needs to come home on sunday night. i feel a little bad about this becuase it seems like such a small thing to ask him to travel home for, but i dont ovulate weekly so - sorry honey, i need your little guys. i can tell he's also bummed about it, but he's being a good sport. we will still dtd tonight before he leaves so there is only 1 day gap. used a softcup again last night - it's so great! like i said before though, i'm concerned that i'm blocking the stuff not helping it, but i'm hoping that since nothing leaks out, i have them in correctly. i mean, it's not like i can expand my cave and walk around in there to make sure all the sides are sealed - you just kinda slide those babies in and hope it's ok!
bray, i'm still a bit excited for you. please keep us posted!
mama, hope your opk smiles for you. we are so close to the tww! (which we get so excited going into, and then frustrated being in... we women are weird)
fx for everyone!

*%#@! No smiley today....son of a biotch! This is going to screw bd'ing timing up now...i only have 1 test stick left, so tomorrow better be the day. Going to bd tonight anyways and i guess we will have to sunday morning when hubs gets home from work. and maybe even tuesday morning when he gets home too just to cover bases. This sucks, I wish I had more sticks to test later...i don't want to miss my surge unless i already did. The last 3 months were so on time...why is this month giving me hassle?

 

[HWPG]

oh Mama! sorry!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

screw it, i am going to use my last stick here by 4:00 and go to walmart and buy a new opk. I am not going to miss my surge and i am going to see that darn smiley smiling back at me. Watch though, knowing my luck...i'll go buy a new kit for 20.00 and tomorrow at noonish i will get my smiley...so if i would've waited and used my last stick tomorrow i wouldn't have to waste 20 bucks. But, I am a ttc person and am impatient and want to see the smiley NOW!!! on the other hand, if i do buy a new kit and get my smiley tomorrow...i'll have sticks for next month, but hoping i wouldn't need them!

 

[HWPG]

i HATE that opks cost so much! it's ridiculous! i buy the internet cheap ones - i have like 50 in my closet... they sell opks at my dollar store also. not sure how reliable they are, but hey, $1! they also sell hpts at the dollar store also, so when that day comes, i can buy like 5 of them without guilt!
Mama, was anything different this month? could it delay you by a day or 2?

 

[laustiredttc]

hey ladies

hw and mama hope you ladies get those smilies soon!! I think our bodies enjoy messing with us, it really is a pain in the arse. fx For you gals

Hey bray, yeah they were closed today, it's only a small place so will give them a call first thing monday morning. Did a spot of retail therapy today and got the cutest little hat for winter

Ok so i have STOPPED the soy as i have had quite a bad allergic reaction to them. Came out in hives on my eyelid and behind my ear, gross!! Never touching anything like that again, just going to chill with the dh tonight and watch a film i think.

Happy friday girls

 

[laustiredttc]

i use the cheap ones hw, i find that they're ok...... sometimes

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

i'm sorry i cannot stand to use anythingbu the digital ones that give a clear yes or no....i get too stressed and frustrated trying to tell if the lines are the same or darker, etc. For hpts i really like using frer...just my opinion and my preference.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

hw-Don't think any thing is different...just find it odd ya know?

Laus-sorry the soy is giving you a reaction, have you used the cbfm again? hope you feel better soon and can't wait til monday to see when you have your appt scheduled! FX it is very soon!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

ok just got a new box of digital opks! and i got the thinking HW!!!!...i was sick right around the time i started my af....so, i think that could possibly change my ovulation? i was sick for a week but mainly blowing crap out of my nose. But still...so hopefully in the next few days i'l see a pos.

 

[HWPG]

I bet that was it! Literally anything can move that O day, even by a little bit.
I'm watching a special on reproduction on tv. It's interesting but I think from the 1980s and the info a little dated. But still amazing that we humans can reproduce at all after watching that!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Haha, so im sitting here propped up on my beanbag... Wonder what my temp will be in the am and if ill see a smiley tomorrow. Oh hw I pray you get yours tomorrow, I hope we both do and we.xan.wait out the 2ww together again.

 

[HWPG]

Got my softcup in. Watching a movie. Not sure what to hope for... Pos opk tom means we got these three previous days in the books, but won't get the pos day. Pos opk Sunday I think is worse. Hoping that maybe Monday, cause then we'll get these days plus sunday night and Monday.... I dunno. Already feeling frustrated but trying to stay positive! Fx for you mama!!! C'mon tww!

 

[laustiredttc]

hey mama and hw hope you get your pos opk today girls fx

bray, sni how things ladies?

Just been taking benadryl for the hives Bloody soy that's the last time i try anything like that

Cd10 and cbfm still saying high which is good, thought the soy might have messed things up. Just going to relax today and read i think. Dont want to scare anyone by going out of the house looking like egor Going to start using my opk tomorrow as well just in cases and prob will bd tonight as long as my dh is not to scared to with me looking like something out of phantom of the opera hehe

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

oh Laus i'm sorry you feel crappy and look crappy. i really hope it goes away for you soon.

hw-i have a question...if you say anything can move O day by just a little, do you mean something could even make it happen earlier?

Ok...my temps are acting post-ovulation and i don't understand. They are usually 96.6-97.0. Now, one day i started af it was 97.3, but i'm talking like at least 5 days in a row prior to ovulation. Man, I wish I would've temped earlier like i planned to. I feel like I lost this month, i have no idea when i ovulated, if i ovulated....this is gonna be a bad 2ww, but going to feel out already. I have 7 tests to take for the next 7 days to check my opk, but going to probably waste that money and time cuz i prolly already did. Grrrr...

 

[Brayr08]

Well laus, you could get the phantom mask and you guys could role play or something?

At least you've bded this week mama, so even if you did O already, you should have your bases covered right? So don't feel out already.

I still haven't started. Just spotting...damn it...

 

[Brayr08]

Sooo...I think I'm going to test tomorrow...I was going to wait until Tuesday (as I'd be a week late), but I don't think I can anymore!!! My temp hasn't dropped, it's staying level...damn...damn...DAMN!!!More money wasted on pregnancy tests.

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

Bray...how much are you spotting? i hope it's hardly anything and how long have you been spotting...i hope it's not a light af? i'm really hoping it will turn into a bfp for you!

 

[MamaTo2Girls]

well, neg opk again today (cd15)...now since i didn't start opking until thurs cd13...i suppose i could have gotten a pos opk cd12 (if i wouldve tested) and then i would've ovulated maybe cd13 or possibly even 14....maybe that was what those pains were i felt for a moment when i went back to sleep the other morning? i don't know....all i know is from my temps, it's like i already did, and we dtd cd12 at night and cd14 at night, so i should be good. If my temp is still in the 97 range and on the higher side for the next few days, i guess i will know for sure?...or maybe i won't ovulate at all.

 

[HWPG]

Hi,morning!
I am not sure about moving it earlier - usually that's related to if you take meds or vit b or something... Then again, cd12 for ovulation is not that early in the cycle, so totally possible. But you said you DTD so I would think you caught it, esp if you actually O'd on cd13. Like you said you were going to do anyways, keep temping and see what happens. A short month maybe? Or a loooong month. Keep us posted, of course!
Bray, eek! Excited! But saying it in a whisper ..... Want it so much for you....
Laus, hehehe I'm picturing you reading, tea in hand, eyes all closed. I hope the hives are not painful, just inconvenient. I like the role playing idea.
Afm, Cd17. Neg opk. Lots of ewcm. Or semen? Sigh. Hope the last couple days put me in the race. Maybe tom pos opk? will it matter? Hoping the opk stays neg til Monday. What do you ladies think about this - if opk is neg Sunday morning, can OH stay with his mom an extra day? Then if opk is pos on Monday, we can DTD 3 in row at that time. Or do I need him home tomorrow to make a deposit? Sigh. Why does my life revolve around a tiny stick?
