October Sticky Beans!

[mrscletus]

Beth and Rain- so good to see you are almost half way there and doing great.

How is everyone else doing? Haven't see Ivska on here since she posted the pos HPT... Has anyone heard from her?

AFM- not temping or testing this month. Just saying goodbye to AF, DH and I have decided to just go every other day from here until about day 15-16. Maybe squeeze some extras in around day 12-15... Hoping that the relaxed approach will get us somewhere.

 

[krissie328]

Good luck mrscletus. I hope you get your bfp this month!

Afm, I'm hoping I'm getting ready to ovulate. But still no positive opk. But I noticed a bit of ewcm so fx it's a good sign.

 

[mrscletus]

Good Luck krissie! I feel like we have all been trying for way too long. Cheers to BFPs this month!!

Gosh me too! I think I'm going to ovulate this weekend. My opk was very close positive this morning.

 

[MsRipple]

Good luck Krissie!

Beth and Rain, so glad everything is going so well!

As for me, I'm waiting, waiting, waiting.....

So my OPK was getting pretty close this afternoon. And I have lots of EWcm. and yet today (while we are at my moms) my tehrmometer won't work. batteries have died. no warning. ugh. so frustrated.

 

[Blackrain90]

Fingers crossed ripple, when are you testing?

That sucks Angel! Hopefully you can get even a cheap one from a drug store soon.

So this morning my advanced jumped to a solid smiley (peak). I'm like WTF! Apparently I started testing too late and it wasn't able to detect the estrogen surge. Yesterday's IC was really dark but not quite positive, same with this mornings. Going to definitely BD tonight when we get home (we have a 3 hour drive after this, we are at my moms still working on our inherited property). I'm frustrated that I wasn't able to temp yesterday or today so I'll have a hard time telling where my shift was. ugh. so frustrated.

But today I picked up a cheapie thermometer and swapped the battery from it into my basal and its working again (that was cheaper than buying a battery for it, ) and so I can at least temp tomorrow. Keeping FX that I don't actually O for another day or two, so I have some time to get in some good BD. We haven't BD since Wednesday because of my root canal + driving down here + spending all day yesterday working on the house. :/ Of all the months to O early!

 

[Blackrain90]

Oh wow that is early for you! I've never used those ones, is the peak like having a positive OPK?

 

[cscbeth8421]

hey ladies!!! It's a girllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhh! Very exciting!

Black so happy everything is going well!

Angel - good thinking with the battery swap!

 

[Angel5000]

so, based on this mornings temp I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday even though I don't have temps for the last two days. Got in BD yesterday and going to try for today just to be sure. So I'm not really optimistic about this month, I have O-4, O, and possibly O+1. :/ but it's still a chance!

Little concerned only because I don't usually get a +OPK with FMU so I am concerned that yesterdays peak was a remainder from a surge from the previous day and that I possibly O'd the day before. But last night I did an IC and it was close to positive (not quite but very dark, dark enough that if I hadn't done one in the AM I would have assumed that was my +) and so I think I can safely assume yesterday was O day.

I am still a little over the top shocked about the incredibly early O compared to what used to be a CD26 O!!

black Yes, peak is a +OPK. The advanced Digi's do a "'high" when it detects a surge in your estrogen (blinky ) and then when it detects a surge in the LH you get your peak (solid ).

beth Yay!!! Congrats!!! Oh this is so exciting!!!! I Can't wait until you can share with us that you have your beautiful baby girl in your arms!!!!!

 

[MsRipple]

Congratulations Beth!

I think testing for me might be a waste. Temp drop this am makes me think af is coming a day or two early. Feeling a bit bummed

 

[mrscletus]

MsRipple...

Congrats to you Beth how exciting.

And Angel I really hope you caught that eggie.

AFM- Sticking to the not testing/not temping and just having fun in the sack. I have been getting some watery CM, so thinking that O is coming just as FF predicts. I kind of hate not knowing, but then again, there is no pressure on me or DH for performance.

 

[krissie328]

Congrats Beth!! How exciting for you!!

So I have been getting these almost almost almost positive opks. Well yesterday's was negative so I counted Saturday as my positive. Well I tested again today and got a positive. So that combined with no temp spike today I am thinking this is finally my surge. I am super tender in my left ovary so hoping it happens. We got in some bd yesterday and Friday so I think we are decently covered.

 

[mrscletus]

Yay Krissie!! Looks like a nice temp drop prior to O, I would think you should see a rise within the next couple of days... right?

 

[krissie328]

Yes, I am thinking tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

I really thinking the wait to O is more stressful for me than the tww. At least when I am in the tww I know I have a chance. But when I don't O it is just a wasted cycle.

 

[mrscletus]

Krissie I agree.. The waiting to O, thinking about O, thinking about timing, bd'ing is all way more stressful for me than the TWW!
That being said.. I think I am going to do an OPK tomorrow just to see.

Good luck!

So, what are thoughts on the chances of pregnancy from BD on O+1 day ? Right now I have O-4 and O day (assuming that yesterday was indeed O day, since I don't have temps from the last 2 days I am guessing but today's temp was high enough that it seems like it was). I'm just wondering if pushing to BD today is "worth it". Dh and I are both really tired today, but if there's a good chance I'd like to push for it. On the other hand, while FF includes O+1 in the chart of what your chances are, they say they only do it because there's always the chance your O was a little late and that it isn't a high chance.

Krissie - your chart looks good! Hoping you were able to catch the egg!

Ripple -

 

[krissie328]

From what I've read about o+1 it would possible. But you have a decent shot with the other two days. Honestly I probably wouldn't if I were tired.
