October Sticky Beans!

[todmommy4568]

This has me a little worried. Fx'ed my body can hold off until Thursday or Friday! I got a low on my digi though so I am happy about that, am guessing I will move to blinking smiley tomorrow. I feel so weird being scared that I am going to O early But if DH isn't here to at least try and fertilize what a waste of an egg!! Lol

 

[Angel5000]

Well, I didn't get to BD last night. I probably could have if i Had tried but I've got a chest cold that's making me cough/wheeze/etc, which doesn't make seducing DH all that sexy. But then I did something at the gym that has the muscles/tendon/something at the inner thigh by the groin really tight and painful. Walking is painful, let alone any kind of leg opening movements. Made the whole BD idea really unpleasant and painful. Temp today was only 97.33 so I don't think I O'd yet. Will maybe try tonight. If not, I'm actually not really stressed about it this cycle. (odd!)

todmommy - Oh no! Hopefully the egg holds off until your DH returns.

lvksa: I would say 18th or 20th but I'm leaning strongly toward CD20. I used to use ovagraph too and I wasn't really liking where it put my O, so I stuck mostly with FF.

Todmommy - even if you get a +opk tomorrow, you will still be well in the window! 12-48hrs for the egg to pop free! What has been your experience in the past about +opk's and ovulation day? For me, basically i got a +opk the same day as i O.

 

[todmommy4568]

Usually I get an almost positive at night and then the next morning I get a positive and O that day. DH just text me to let me know he would be home tonight already though! so now I am hoping this almost positive this morning is followed by a positive tonight or tomorrow morning

Aww great news!!

I have been sick and so my temps have been high for two days. I haven't been able to do an opk today so hoping when I get back to my office I can. We are currently having a heavy snow storm so I am hiding at my middle school doing file reviews between meetings.

 

[todmommy4568]

Snow storm?! Ick! We are supposed to have snow tonight in to tomorrow morning, I am hoping that they are either wrong or it won't stick

 

[cscbeth8421]

Sorry ladies, we are still having 70 degree weather in Boston! This is absurd! Also why i have pulled like 8 ticks off my dog this week too! Poor guy!

 

[lvksa]

Still 90 degrees here in the desert. I swear I had no idea how much I'd miss the rain. When I go home and everyone is upset about a rainy day I'm outside without an umbrella literally soaking it all in .

 

[krissie328]

Yea, I live in a high elevation desert. So we get super hot dry summers and cold winters. Most of our precipitation comes in the winter. We got 3 inches of snow in a couple hours so definitely not fun!! I am hoping it melts off quickly.

I got a pretty dark but not quite positive opk today. I suspect it will probably be positive tonight or tomorrow. Going to try to dtd in the morning. Hopefully DH feels up to it.

 

[Blackrain90]

This time last year we had several feet of snow. Still above freezing temps (not sure in F since I'm a Canadian gal haha) so we are enjoying the decent weather while we can.

 

[mrscletus]

I live in NW Pa... and amazingly it is in the 70s this week!! But when we get back from Disney I am sure it will be below freezing and we will have to start up the coal stove to thaw out our house.

We've been having lots of rain lately. After spending so long in Texas it's hard to readjust back to the Pacific NW weather. It's messing with my SADD, but I think the meds the doctor gave me are starting to work because I didn't feel as down today (even with my chest cold!).

I did an OPK again today just to see (I never have a surge more than 1 day so I don't know why I bother) and it was the weirdest thing: The test line was dark on the bottom half (about same color as control), but then got lighter as it went up and then faded out to almost nonexistant near the top. I've seen them have a dark line and fade lighter to the side but never like this. If I were to just glance at it without really looking, it almost looks like the line only goes half way across the strip! so odd!

Still 90 degrees here in the desert. I swear I had no idea how much I'd miss the rain. When I go home and everyone is upset about a rainy day I'm outside without an umbrella literally soaking it all in .

That's how I felt after living in Texas!! Granted, it isn't quite as warm as the desert, but I missed the rain after growing up on the Oregon Coast!

Good morning
Ugh, it's starting to get so cold here in germany. Almost to freezing temps in the early hours and i hate the cold. It's also been super foggy where you can barely even see the housed across the street, super unusual.
But i'm definitely not looking forward to even colder weather and winter.. hating to be cold!

My temp today was quite high which i thought weird, but i did have a great night's sleep so i guess it's just cause i'm on my period right now so hopefully when i'm done they'll settle into regular pre O territory. I do not want to deal with roller coaster temps ha

 

[MsRipple]

Got a ff note of a possible triphasic chart so took a hpt earlier than planned and with two hour hold due to middle of the night peeing. bfn stark white. Sigh. Really had my hopes up

 

[cupcake.]

Boo for having your hopes crushed.

But, your chart really does look good and 10dpo is still early, so a bfn doesn't mean anythinflg, especially with only a 2 hour hold! You're definitely not out yet, i'm having my fingers crossed

 

[krissie328]

Ff gave me dotted crosshairs today. I know I didn't ovulate but my temps were erratic and higher due to being sick.

 

[todmommy4568]

Sorry ripple

That's weird krissie. I can't see O anywhere on your chart ff is so dumb sometimes haha.

So I took a couple OPKs last night and one this morning. All are way lighter than the one yesterday morning and still a low on the digi. I am wondering if I possibly O'ed on cd16....I am so so warm today. I woke up and DH was an inch away from me and he is like a radiator so I wasn't surprised by my temp but it's been over an hour since I got out of bed and I am still on fire. My guess is that O I still coming but I don't know why the opk's would be getting lighter when I am supposed to O tomorrow or Friday and usually I would have flashing smileys by now

On the plus side doc appt went well. I ended up with one med safe for baby and one that isn't but my unsafe med is just a take as needed thing so it I get a BFP I just don't take it clearly haha. Doc decided to check my thyroid too which I am really happy about, she said even if there weren't issues she would still want to check since we are TTC.

 

[Angel5000]

Today's temp was way high, 98.04. I think maybe it was that high due to not sleeping well because of this chest congestion. I rarely get into the 98s, but then again this cycle I never dropped into the 96s (which I normally do) so maybe I'm just having a completely different temp cycle.

+OPK on Monday and then yesterday's OPK was REALLY dark, just a smidge lighter than the control. In fact, if I had gotten yesterday's OPK before my positive I would have assumed it was positive. That's odd for me, I typically go positive and then back down to clearly negative the next day.

This whole cycle is weird for me. I suspect I might have O'd yesterday, we'll find out in a few days. Did get in some BD yesterday. I'm not really stressing this cycle, if it happens it does if not then oh well.

Random note: I used preseed yesterday and I only used 1g but even that seemed like almost too much! I like it as a lube (and I wasn't producing much EW this cycle at all) and it worked nicely but was much more slippery than I usually have. Next time I Might have to use half that



Ripple: FF will tell you if your chart starts to look triphasic? That's cool, I didn't know that. Sorry it crushed your hopes though.

Krissie: Ugh, FF did that to me too a few days ago. Once I got my +OPK they finally took them away.

todmommy: yay for safe meds. My temp was way high today too, maybe it's a high temp kind of day.

 

[todmommy4568]

Angel your temp today definitely looks like a post O temp! I think that would make sense if your preO temps are higher than normal then your postO temps would be higher as well.
