Ginge I hope you ovulate soon!

As far as testing goes I too will be waiting til AF is late - I can't go through another cycle like the last one, I've been so emotional with it all!!! I've not ordered any ICs and I'm not allowing myself to!

Here are my OPKs from lunchtime and about half an hour ago:

They're teasing me! So close!

 

[x-ginge-x]

Ooher so close, I need more tests and i'm buying them from £land in future!! i only wanted to see if I am ovulating and I am glad I am using them otherwise I would be totally out of whack with the

 

[HopefulPony]

Urgh lighter this morning - what's going on with my stupid body?!?!

I need some more too, I only have one left and I'll use that later when I get home from work - I ordered some more but they haven't arrived. The £1land ones, are they worth it? How many are in a pack?

 

[LeaLion]

Is it possible to miss the surge and go from almost positive to light??? I am confused with my cycle too. My temps are dropping, I have no idea when and if I ovulated. My chart is a mess and gives me no clue. So frustrating. Although I'm prepared for a BFN this month, I still need a ray of hope to keep me going.

 

[HopefulPony]

It might be, what was the time difference between your tests?

 

[LeaLion]

The thing is I did not test for 3 days (ran out of OPKs), then got a pretty dark line, then the line was almost gone... You can have a look at my chart (in signature) and tell me what you think. The dark line was on day 15 of my cycle...

 

[Mrsgoodhart]

Makes me wonder if you ovulated one of those days you were without a test??

 

[Savasanna]

Lea - it can be possible to miss your surge if you're one of those people who has a really short one. It is confusing that you received a +opk on CD15 when your temps were starting to rise. Is there a reason you recoreded CD15 as a -opk?

As for me - I. Cannot. BELIEVE it's only 5dpo. I'm not going to make it.. I swear.

 

[Savasanna]

Oh, and just by looking at your chart - I would've also guessed CD14 for O day.

 

[LeaLion]

Thank you for your replies ladies.

Sava, I tested on the 28th (CD 15) and the result was negative. I actually posted a pic of it somewhere in this thread... The line just wasn't dark enough to confirm a positive... I thought that I may have had a surge on CD 13, missed it, then my levels were going up and down for 2 days??? If that is anyhow possible... Because since the test on CD 15 the lines faded away! It is so confusing, I know...

 

[babifever]

Well it appears I have had another chemical so counting today as CD1, is there anyone around the same time who would like to chit chat? Nice to be able to chat with someone who is TTC!

About me: I am 23 (soon to be 24) and I have PCOS, I got married on the 26th July and had been NTNP for a few months as to avoid being a heavily pregnant bride. I am now TTC #2 as I have a 20month old son who is starting nursery next week!! Have purchased ovulation strips for this month and I am charting!

I'm technically already in the 2ww because the witch is 13 days away. Damn 35 day cycle!

 

[Mrsgoodhart]

Sava- 5DPO may just kill us both. I have two cheapies I got at save-a-lot, three FRERs, and a blue dye from Walgreens. And they are ALL mocking me from the bathroom cabinet, because there's no point in testing till at least Saturday. Grr!

 

[Savasanna]

oh my goodness MrsGoodHart, look at you! Your post made me laugh out loud! Look at all those pregnancy tests! I seriously love how crazy this process makes us!

I only have two frer at home right now. Back when we just started trying I used to test allll the time. I work right next to a Target so it was just so easy for me to pop over and pick up some more tests. Buuut - after one too many break downs I decided it's best for me to wait. Plus my wife told me that she feels really detached from the process and wants to be with me when I test. I found that to be such a sweet request that I just can't test without her now. I mean really, how do you say no to that?

 

[HopefulPony]

I'm really worried I've missed ovulation - I've now only got extremely faint lines on OPKs

 

[Savasanna]

I can't remember - what CD are you Hopeful Pony? If you did ovulate - were you able to get any tries in this month?

 

[x-ginge-x]

Well the single test is 11am and this evenings is the bottom of the two together with this mornings dried!!! You get 5 tests in the poundland ones and I certainly rate them I have some from eBay too and the poundland ones are far far better!!!

 

[LeaLion]

Lol goodhart!!! I totally relate... Got around 30 cheapies in my bathroom cabinet... This drives my hubby mad!!! He goes: Do you really need to test a hundred times a day??? Of course I do...

Savasanna: That is soooo sweet! I wish you good luck and a lot of happy screams when you finally get a BFP.

HopefullPony - I hope you at least got the chance to BD before or right after possible O. I know it is hard not knowing when exactly you ovulated... So FX there were some swimmers around and u get a sticky bean

Ginge: FX for you too! The sticks look good, so keep testing and BDing! I hope you ovulate soon...

 

[LeaLion]

Temp question: How can my temp be 36.5 in the morning and then 37.4 in the afternoon??? Confused...

 

[x-ginge-x]

37.5 is the typical body temperature, basal temperature is your resting temp hence always lower in the morning x

 

[LeaLion]

37.5 is the typical body temperature, basal temperature is your resting temp hence always lower in the morning x

Stupid question again... Will the aircon lower my BBT? I mean, does our body temperature depend on the atmosphere factors? I believe they do, then if so, how can we chart accurately?
