October Hopes - Testing thread. 128 Testers! 25 BFPs!!!

[DSemcho]

I feel like I should know the answer to this question, but I am still somewhat confused. I got a positive opk last night at 7:30 pm, and again today at 8am, 2:30pm and 6:30pm. We had bedroom fun o. Friday night, Sunday night and last night (Tuesday after getting a positive opk).

My question is: do you ovulate while you have a positive on an opk or do you ovulate once it turns negative?

I think it's after the positive OPK! Which is why I always have sex through my positives and also the day after.

You could have just missed the surge for that day. You don't take OPKs just once a day or with just the FMU. Some women have their surge in the afternoon, some in the morning, some late at night. I generally see my darker OPKs between 6pm and 3am on my OV day

Can you have more than one surge tho?or does it just last(stay pos) for more than one day?cause that's what happened to me this month too. Had pos, then positive, then neg, then pos again!

I do believe you have multiple surges, because last month I had three tests come up test line darker than control for 3 days. And got negatives in between.

Update on my niece's predictions. I'm having a girl and a boy. And the boy will be called zander.

When I was pregnant last, we decided if it was a boy he would be called Alexander. She didn't know this.

Freaked me out lol

Hopeful- yay for natural ov! Hope you've caught that eggy!

That would be awesome if you were getting your twins now!!


AFM- DH upset me a lot this AM. He knows today is the first day of my fertile week and I even reminded him when he woke me up asking if I was going to the gym. I went back to sleep and woke and up 15 minutes later, went into the living room and what is my DH doing? Sitting in the couch with his thingy in his hand... I flipped and took all our vitamins, all my OPKs and HPTs and told him we weren't trying anymore until he can learn to keep his prick in my pants. I went to the bathroom and started brushing my teeth and he came in there and hugged me and said he was sorry and still wanted to try. And that he took the vitamins I hid and put it all back... Little booger knows mys hiding spot. I told him next time I catch him doing it I'm not gonna storm off, I'm gonna walk up to him and punch him in his wiener.

That made me laugh so hard! I too got upset with oh last week for the same thing. I told him once I've ovulated he can do it all he wants but until then I need all his swimmers ha he's been good since

 

[DSemcho]

I've caught him doing it a few times before during my week. And I won't say he can do it all he wants because he already does that more than we are intimate - porn is an addiction to him. But I told him I wasn't kidding, I was really gonna punch him in the wiener.

Omg! That would straight piss me off! I told dh he is not allowed to do that at all during this week, but he usually does that in the shower so i wouldn't know if he listened. I would have freaked out too if i caught him!!
I mean really, its one week. AND, we are pretty much an "open door"during that time!

 

[DSemcho]

I'm an open door all the time for my husband lol. I never tell him no, he tells me no. And when I caught him he looked at me and said what?! I wasn't going to cum!! I'm like what's the point in whacking it if you're not gonna finish!!

Lmao!yeaaaaaaah right!

 

[DSemcho]

Exactly! I can't wait to see his face next time I catch him and really do punch it.

 

[Flibberty87]

I'm in stitches over here! You ladies are too much!

I know though, it's only for one week! It's been two in my case though as I haven't had confirmed ov yet although I think it's today. We have managed ten times in those two weeks so not doing too bad he told me before though that when he's on his own he can't help himself.

I feel you on the open door. I have a really high sex drive and I try most nights but usually I'll only persuade him maybe three times a week.

I know after I miscarried he wouldn't be intimate with me and after a couple of weeks I broke down thinking he didn't want me anymore then he admitted he was scared of me getting pregnant again as he couldn't cope seeing me like that again. I talked him round though (obviously )

That's so tough I'm sure. Really hurts my heart when i hear women that have been through that. Ive never lost a pregnancy, and honestly can't imagine, especially not having Any children. I feel so selfish to be impatient at this time while trying to conceive. I have been so blessed by God with four Amazing healthy daughters. It really pots me into place. Shit, now I'm crying. Haha. No really though. I truly wish all your dreams come true during this time. When a woman truly wants a child, and has the means, she should not be denied of that blessing.

 

[DSemcho]

I understand flibberty. First time I found out a I was pregnant we hadn't been intimate in like.... 4 or 5 weeks. Then when I found out he didn't have sex with me that whole week, but sure did the day after I lost it. He wasn't ready to be a dad. But this was nearly 3 years ago.

 

[Flibberty87]

I've had 3 pregnancies in my lifetime (that I'm aware of) and have no children I really thought the last one was going to make it as I got to 10 weeks with only a slight bleed at 6 weeks and the scan I had showed everything was fine and baby had a heartbeat.

I was on holiday in Bulgaria when I lost it. Had a massive bleed at 10+3 and when they scanned me baby was still alive but only measuring 7+2. Scanned me again three days later and no heartbeat so I had to have a D&C on father's day of all days. Poor OH and OH's dad spent father's day in the hospital with me saying goodbye to child/grandchild. :'(

I have never wanted anything more in my life than to become a mummy. It's the only thing I've ever been sure of in my entire life. Since I was 4-5 I knew I was supposed to be a mummy. I know it will happen when the time is right.

 

[DSemcho]

I know exactly how you feel. I've had two pregnancies never made it past 7 weeks. And only with my now husband. Me and my ex hubs tried for 2 1/2 years. And I've never used protection with any guy I've been with like that. That's the thing I feel I'd be amazing at! but I've hit a point where I'm like well if it happens then great not oh well. I've wanted it since I was 17 but I waited to lose my virginity until I was 18 in case I got pregnant so I'd be able to support it. Now I'm turning 26 in a little over 2 months and DH will be 29 in January and I just dunno anymore.

Lets hope we change that this month

I was 26 in July and I feel like I'm getting close to 30 which has always been my goal. My three pregnancies were all with different people (makes me sound like a whore!) Two were planned and one wasn't but that one we didn't use anything because he had only one working testicle and a low sperm count and I had just been told it's going to be hard to have babies anyway. But then we broke up and like a week and a half later I miscarried. I didn't even know I was pregnant until I wound up in the hospital.

I look back now with hindsight and think I'm glad I didn't have babies with those w*nkers but it was so hard at the time.

Do any of you girls fancy being facebook friends? I understand if not but it would be nice to keep in touch, you're all very lovely and have made this ttc journey sooooo much more bareable!

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Based on my new info and spontaneous ov while waiting to start clomid can u please change my testing date to 8th October.... Nowhere near what I thought lol. I'm putting myself at 2dpo since my progesterone was 6.1 yesterday, and the last time I was on clomid and conceived Jace it was 7.1 at 1dpo (if I go by o pain and dating scan)

Although I could be completely wrong..we may have caught it on the way either up or down and I could be due AF tomorrow for all I know! But since a 6.1 could not make for a viable pregnancy if its that's level between 5 and 14 dpo I'm bring optimistic I'm pre 5 dpo!

(I hope that all makes sense!)

I am so disappointed as I had no idea I would ov and was just focused on starting clomid soon I only BDed 5 days to o, 2 days to o, and 2 dpo

I'm testing October 1!

I am on Facebook hiatus at the moment! I deactivatedy account due to some of my friends being bitches and I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of knowing I'd see their comments!

 

[Flibberty87]

I'll update the front page when I'm on my laptop later its too much faff on doing it on my phone.

Hopeful I completely understood that lol

I'm really bloated today and the left side of my tummy is painful. I think (hope) I'm popping out an egg haha my cervix has gotten even higher today and is almost blending in with the walls. It is too high to feel if it is properly open so marked as medium on my chart. I so hope my temp is up tomorrow!!

Had a conversation with the mother in law today. I think we shall be living with them for the foreseeable. We were staying with them until I got a job and could afford our own house as we're all in a two bed house atm and when oh's daughter stays she has to sleep in our room. There is a three bed house on our street and the lady wants to swap so we're discussing swapping and then we will have a spare room for baby and we will be paying out less money each month than if we got our own house. Means we can save up to buy a house and will have an on hand babysitter if/when we have a baby.

We all get on really well and it's actually nice sharing a house with his parents atm.

Good idea? Or are my hormones making me insane?

 

[ac2010]

See if I use the same cup I've been using for ovulation tests but I've cleaned it can it cause fake positive preg tests?

 

[DSemcho]

You can add me, just know I don't post about baby stuff on Facebook lol.
