I haven't posted for a couple of days, I had a little bit to catch up on! Welcome to all the ladies joining the November thread, whether you're coming from the October thread or new to the group all together. I love seeing familiar and new names alike!
Megan, sounds like your chances are great this cycle! Glad to hear you'll be joining us in full blown stalker mode this month.
Miss406, so what you're saying is that you're like the majority of us...giving one date for testing, but actually starting to test at least a couple of days prior. You'll fit right in! Ha!
Mama, I don't think you've set yourself up for failure! I think your chances are sounding great actually. Some sites say eod is best, some say that every day is just fine. I think it really just depends more on DH's sperm count honestly. If he has a low count, eod might be better so he has time to build back up the reserves. If his counts are normal, every day shouldn't hurt a thing!
Yoga, hi!
How is hubby doing, is he recovering nicely from the surgery? I hope so! And I hope it's not putting too much of a strain on you either!
Crystl and Leti, glad to see you here! But I do hope you get those bfp's in October and don't have to join us for a November testing date after all! FX!
Bighouse, you're totally fine timing wise! Remember that a positive opk just tells you that you're gearing up to O, and you really won't for a good 12-36 hours or so. So if you've gotten a positive and dtd, you're still getting those soldiers in there in plenty of time for that egg.
Everything says to start dtd when you get your first positive (well of course you can earlier too, but at least when you get a pos) so you're actually right on track!
Bing, wow! That's a really interesting fact, thanks for sharing! It actually makes me wonder how anyone EVER manages to get pregnant then! Geez! Ohhh, I also want to know what you and hubby baked last night! Good luck, I really hope he wins! Is this for the thing you were telling us about a couple of months ago, that's after a cooking show and each person gets a week assigned to them that matches up with what was on the show that week? I know you were worried about getting one (was it bread?), I hope that's not what you got!
MnG, good luck!!!! I have everything crossed for you that you get good news today! Can't wait to hear, be sure to keep us posted!
So I think I ended up O'ing on Tuesday instead of Monday, and we dtd on Tuesday night so I think I'm actually good timing wise! The last time before that was Saturday so I'm not *too* hopeful but eh, I was taking it easy this month anyways so I'm not expecting much. The weird thing though is I was super crampy last night and am again today. It feels like pre-AF cramps which it is of course way too early for. It feels like it's down low in my uterus area, but I can't really tell for sure if it's that or my colon from my Crohn's Disease. Either way, I wouldn't mind if it went away any time now! It's too early to be anything really, so it's just annoying at best.
