October Sticky Beans!

[cupcake.]

Blackrain, your OPKs look like they're getting darker fx O is going to happen soon for you!

AFM this morning's OPK was lighter today, curious to see what it will be like after work today. Had a temp dip as well this morning, although i don't usually get a pre O dip, but maybe this cycle haha

BD last night and used PreSeed because I don't think we'll manage to BD tonight (although OH says we definitely will.. not sure how since we only have about an hour window where we see each other today cause we both have things to do tonight.)
But i think we'll be able to again on tuesday and i hope that ovulation will have happened by wednesday.. i'm getting exhausted haha

 

[MsRipple]

@black- those definitely look darker!

@ cupcake- does pressed Keep sperm viable longer?

 

[cupcake.]

MsRipple, i actually don't know haha i like to thing it does since it's supposed to act like EWCM. So it's supposed to be an environment that's ideal for sperm to thrive and move and in my head that means they'll survive longer. But only because i get barely any EWCM on my own, if you have enough then i don't think it's necessary though

Black- sorry to hear about that happening with your sil, that would be really hard. Your opks are definitely looking darker yay!

Angel- fx your opks are darker today! That is neat about kindara, I haven't quite figured out all of their features yet haha

Cupcake- good luck catching that egg!

AFM temped this morning finally haha, my temp from this morning is finally back in my normal range I am feeling much better was just a down day and now everything is back to normal. Still 12 more days until O for me if it happens on time

 

[cupcake.]

todmommy, glad you're feeling better And also yay for temps being back to normal!

I just got back from work and took an OPK after a just over 4 hour hold and all I got was a faint line, nothing close to what I had over the weekend. So I'm going to go ahead and assume I had my surge and will O either today or tomorrow. SUper excited to see what my temps are doing tomorrow haha

 

[Blackrain90]

I would say today based on your chart. Fingers crossed!

 

[cscbeth8421]

Back to reality. So wishing i was still at the beach though. HUGE temp dip this morning. But looks a lot like last months ar this time. Opk super negative on a 4hr hold. Bding tonight and depending on opks this week. Ff took away my cross hairs as well.

 

[Angel5000]

Temp went up again today, not high but it's playing "yo-yo". That's not abnormal, but based on the way my charts have looked in the past it means I'm probably still 2-3 days out from O. Today's OPK is not much darker than the previous ones (maybe a smidge?) and so I'm not counting on an O any sooner than Wed or Thurs at least. Based on my last 3 cycles, I O on the day of my +OPK. I know that can change, just thinking that I know that if I get a +OPK I need to assume I'll O that day.

Going to try for BD today, and then again Wednesday. My 6th period today was really awful, which has left me mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted. I Just want wine and sleep. lol Tomorrow is open house, so it will be a nightmarishly long day. If nothing else, I wouldn't be surprised if O delays by a day just from stress. But let me just say, what a horrible week for O to happen. Blah.


cscbeth Love the drop in your chart! Hoping that means O is coming up!

 

[Blackrain90]

Welcome back Beth!! Glad you enjoyed your trip.

Angel, sorry you're having a rough week, hopefully it doesn't affect your cycle too much. Today looks a bit darker but is also more fresh so hard to tell.

Check out this comparison of 7am vs 6pm! Would you consider the bottom to be positive? Trying to decide when to BD. Gonna dtd tonight, and then do you think we should try for a lunch time quickie tomorrow, or would late evening BD tmrw still catch it in time?

 

[cscbeth8421]

Angel, the last opk is darker! My opks are still negative. Though last month my surge happened on cd14. For we will see what happens tomorrow.

 

[cscbeth8421]

Black- i would feel pretty confident in saying that is +!!! Bd dance tonight, tomorrow, and the next!!! Yay! Omg you're entering the tww

 

[todmommy4568]

Angel- hoping tomorrow goes okay for you and isn't too stressful. Teenagers can be the pits sometimes

Black- I would definitely say positive! Do you use FMU then since you have one at 7am? I wouldn't distinguish whether it should be lunch time quickie or an evening BD, I would just take both

I wish I was with you guys about to O lol my cycles are so ridiculous I think it is still about the same as last month though, I think when I was getting ready for O last month all you lovelies were getting ready for pg tests

 

[Blackrain90]

Yeah is FMU, unfortunately with my work schedule I can't use SMU during the week. Haha I wish I could BD twice in one day but I get too sensitive. Multiple days in a row is already a bit of a struggle lol.

I know I feel like this cycle is going by fast, but I have also been more relaxed with it. You shouldn't be too far behind us, hopefully you O early!

 

[MsRipple]

Ok, I need to get in on the opk porn.

Attaching pics from this evening (bottom) and this morning (bottom). Lines definitely darker than the last day or so. I'm thinking this is heading towards positive but not quite there. What do you guys think?

 

[Angel5000]

blackrain That looks positive to me! I think if you dtd tonight, you are probably still safe to wait until tomorrow night. Since you typically O several hours after the +OPK, and the egg lasts 24 hours, I think you'd be safe.

I have the same problem doing multiple days in a row (or multiple times in a day). I have a hard time doing 2-3 days in a row, let alone multiple times in a day.

todmommy Yeah, but with you being a little behind in the cycle that gives us your O to obsess over while we are in the TWW agony. Or your PG tests to obsess over if we hit AF.

MsRipple That looks like it's getting close!

 

[AngelOb]

Msripple those look really close I would say O is on the way

I'm with you todmommy only a few days behind. We can obsess at the same time lol

Cd4 for me was today and just ending AF. So hoping this is my cycle. My OH keeps saying 3rd one is the charm so we'll see. He's so positive, even when I was discouraged last month. I start temping again tomorrow. Just never see the point during AF

 

[Blackrain90]

Ripple based on the bottom I think it'll probably be positive in the next day or so!

 

[todmommy4568]

Agreed ripple definitely looks like it is heading to positive!

Angel you've got a point haha at least there is always something going on in our thread haha

Ob yay, when do you usually O? I got preg with DS on my third cycle and got a BFP on cycle 3 this time and even though this one was a chemical I still believe in third time is the charm! Hopefully it works out in your favor!

Black I don't know if I could do twice in a day now either. When I got preg with DS we were DTD two or three times a day but I was 19 and my sex drive was much higher! If you BD tomorrow night and the night after I would think you are surely safe.

 

[MsRipple]

Hmm, wondering if I can wait to go back home til Wed evening or if I should head home a day early From a work perspective it's better if I'm physically in the office Wednesday versus working from home, but I don't want to miss our prime bd days or miss o entirely!

Guess I will see what opk and clear blue say tomorrow.

 

[Blackrain90]

Can I just say how thankful I am to have you ladies to go through this with? I have googled some questions and come up with threads from other sites where the women were bitchy and downright cruel! I can't believe people can be so terrible to each other, especially on sites where they are supposed to support each other. So thank you ladies for being there for each other, no matter how silly or paranoid we may be! Xoxo
