...No, relaxing will not get me pregnant...lucky CBFM girls!

[No Doubt]

Aww thanks SLH. It's weird cause the little girl actually looks like me when I was younger. My mom has a picture of me in pokadot dress when I was really young and this reminds me of that picture.

 

[SLH]

It's funny that you say that because the baby picture looks just like me when I was a baby. The little girl looked nothing like me though lol, well maybe some features, but I have no idea where she got that hair from lol.

 

[No Doubt]

Lol...it's always the hair. To this day my mother tells me "I don't know where you got that from. This is me and that's me and that'se me, but that hair...that must be from the other side of the family." It's always the hair.

Okay. Yet another wookie fertility mystery for my lovely ladies to help me with:

Yesterday there was that + digi smiley opk in the afternoon, on CD 10. So, we bd'ed, went to bed, and this morning, I get a high on my monitor. I was sort of expecting a peak, but clomid probably mucke that up.

So this afternoon, curiosity got the best of me, and I took another smiley opk. Negative. Ummm....was my surge seriously that short that I already ovulated????

I'm confused. I don't know if I should treat this as a fluke, and keep testing in the afternoons, in the event I get a second surge, or, just wait for a temp rise, or, or, or.....???????


If I've already ovulated, we only dtd once this cycle, last night. Do I even remotely have a chance at a BFP? I'm also supposed to go get my progesterone redrawn 7 days after my surge is detected, which now apparently means this upcoming Saturday.

Good grief. Can I have a month that isn't completely bizarre???

 

[SLH]

Wookie, I have had this happen to me before. I only had one smiley and the next day it was gone. The only difference between me and you is my monitor peaked, but I suspect the Clomid could screw up the monitor, and I wasn't on it at the time. Anyway, I always ovulate on the day I get a negative OPK after getting a positive one. If that's how it's working for you, you could be ovulating today. Some women ovulate 2 days after the test goes negative. I would continue to test if your temperature doesn't rise. Because your temperature hasn't rised yet, you haven't ovulated. You DTD yesterday, so if you ovulate today your BD timing is awesome! Those little guys can live for a long time in the right environment. If your temperature doesn't rise by Tuesday, the positive smiley was probably a fluke.

Do you and DH have the energy to bd again tonight?

 

[SLH]

Well, I'm probably going slightly insane, but I am feeling the weirdest cramp pressure thing in my uterus. I'm getting excited this month, but I shouldn't be. Dumb body.

 

[No Doubt]

SLH, I know what you mean, today I had a very light headache that lasts a couple of minutes but comes and goes and I keep having those feelings like it's the beginning of my period, but not painful or anything. That coupled with the other symptoms. But I feel like you...stupid body.

Wookie I'm not sure what that means. I don't use a monitor so I can't really help you out with that. Speaking of which, how exactly does the monitor work?

 

[wookie130]

SLH...pressure in the uterus is a great thing!!!! I did have that in early pregnancy. Go brush your teeth...if your gums bleed a little, this is also an excellent sign!!!

 

[wookie130]

Okay, based on your advice SLH, I'm going to go try to recue the porn music.

May God be with us...LOL!

 

[SLH]

My gums aren't bleeding, but I will keep an eye out on it. It's weird how I'm experiencing so many new things. My body feels different. Okay, now I'm going totally nuts lol. I used to symptom spot all of the time, and then it made me feel like an idiot.

 

[wookie130]

No Doubt, to answer your question, the Clearblue Fertility Monitor is a computerized monitor that reads 2 hormones, estrogen, and LH. As you approach ovulation, your estrogen increases, so the monitor will give you low, high, or peak fertility days. The "peak" days are when the monitor picks up your LH surge, and is your most fertile time. It is one of the best ways to determine when ovulation is most likely to occur, and it is extremely reliable and accurate....UNLESS you're on Clomid like me, and then it's not!!! LOL!!!

SLH- Do you have just a wierd gut feeling that you MAY get your bfp? Because that instinctual thing says a lot!!! Your chart about makes me want to pass out, it's so awesome!

 

[SLH]

I'm having a lot of mixed emotions. One minute I think this is it, it's my turn finally, and then one minute I think it's impossible and my odds of winning the lottery would be better. My gut usually tells me that I'm out, but this month I'm not feeling that way. I'm not feeling out, but I'm not feeling in lol. This has been a weird month. I'm at the point in my two week wait where waiting is driving me nuts, and I'm so tempted to test in a day or two.

 

[No Doubt]

Just try to stay postitive SLH. And you don't want to test to early and bfn and then be disappointed. When are you supposed to test? Hopefully this is your month!!! Sending good vibes and lots of your way!

 

[wookie130]

I wouldn't test any earlier than 14 dpo...even if this ISN'T your month, great things are happening that increases your chances. So, stay strong and positive!

 

[SLH]

Thanks guys. It's only a matter of time before it happens now. I have had 2 normal cycles so far, so I guess I just need to be patient.

 

[SLH]

I think if we all stay positive then we will all get our bfp's in no time.

 

[wookie130]

It is so important to keep some sort of positivity going, even if that means that you wake up NOT wanting to pull your hair out!

Obviously those of us who have been doing all but standing on our hands singing Gregorian Chant to get pregnant are strong ladies...to take charge of the situation after repeated failures, getting back up, and dusting ourselves off for the next cycle takes major cajones.

Just think of how strong we'll be when we actually get to be mothers!

 

[wookie130]

Well, we BD'ed again.

It damn-near killed us, but we managed. LOL!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SLH]

Wohoo Wookie, You are on a roll. I'm convinced that you're getting knocked up this cycle.

 

[Mrs.B.]

Another high this morning! Damn, we've BD so much recently I'm worried that if we finally get a peak there will be nothing left to give lol
