Rachel-We had a gender reveal party for our friends and it was so much fun! It was their second baby though. They'd already had a baby shower for the first one, didn't want to have another baby shower but wanted to celebrate somehow. So we convinced them to let us do a gender reveal. The doc sealed it in an envelope and they brought it to us, we were the only ones who knew! We poked a hole in a blue ballon so when they blew them up the pink one blew up since it was a girl and the blue one didn't. I made pink bows and blue bow ties, so everyone had to pick one based on what they thought it would be. So fun!

For the opk discussion, I do them at least 3 times a day bc I've gotten positives first thing in the morning, middle of the day and as late as 9 or 10 pm...you never know when the surge is going to happen and you only have so much time after a positive....I use the digis bc I hate guessing lines! lol

so confused because my test had said only take once a day, and between 10am-8pm due to something or other fmu is not good for it, and something else, so i did that. and now i'm worried i missed the damn surge.

oh hun i'm sorry about af. :( :hugs:




afm.... temp up again, ferning gone, opks have all been neg (haven't tested today yet) bb soreness gone, cramping gone.... :( we dtd last night but really scared something is wrong with the opks and i've missed my surge. but my normal o day is cd 21 (after looking back on old charts) so i really don't know, and feel totally confused and like i missed this month. :(
 
I could totally be off on this whole OPK thing, too. I have no idea. I just feel like I drink too much (2-3 liters a day of just water, not counting anything else) and my urine is too diluted to pick up anything unless I use FMU. Ugh. Why must this be so complicated?! Surely you didn't miss it if your OPK's have all been negative and usually you are around CD21.
 
I think I would give up the temping and OPK's if I weren't looking at the possibility of using Clomid in the near future.. I'm not sure if I will have to do any of those things while using it or not so I want to understand and be in the routine of it just in case. It's stressing me out worrying about it all already, and it's only been a week of doing the OPK's and a few days of temping. Gosh!
 
Niki- Congrats on the baby girl!

Amanda- ugh sorry AF has come back :?

Mommy-that's sucks about the OPKs. :? I always test twice. Earlier in the day and ten again in the afternoon.

AFM, bleeding is starting to turn a little brown, which is weird because I normally have really heavy dark red with clots for the first two days. Also woke up t about 2:30am and felt so unbelievably nauseous for who knows what reason. Thought I'd end up puking off the side of the houseboat and I wasn't even drunk :?. My temp has been a little wierd, it's gone up the last 2 days instead of down and that's even with me taking my temp 30mins earlier. Thinking I might end up going to the dr on Tuesday anyway even though I started AF cuz it's just been weird this time around

congrats ttc!!!! that's awesome!
 
First time mama, if you check out my charts, I tend to get a big drop right before ovulation. I'm not sure where you are in your cycle, but I wouldn't over analyze it for right now, your mouth could have been open, the room could be cold, etc. it's the pattern, not the numbers (exactly) that matter.
Mommy of one, I looked at your old graphs and you ovulated on cd16 (at least the ones that are posted). I would say, based on thermal shift and secondary signs, you probably ovulated. But you didn't miss it, as you bd at o-2 and o-3. You're SO still in the game!
 
For gals that might want to do clomid in the future, I think temping is the best way. You can show your dr - o thermal shift, late (>cd20) ovulation/thermal shift, how long your LP is, etc. It gives the most information for the lowest cost and time commitment (if you're considering giving up something ttc). You'll also learn so much about your body and trends and when to expect things.
 
Eeeek I'm spotting! Af should be here full force either later today or tomorrow :happydance:
 
Nikki - congrats on a pink bundle!!!!

Rachel - 159?! Holy Moly!!! Twinkies!

There is a possibility that you missed it... sorry :(. The only test I know of that says to use FMU is the clearblue ones. The rest say FMU is the worst one to use. Most of the time the LH hormone needs time to build up and appear in your urine. Testing in early afternoon has been the best for me. I usually test with SMU, 1-2pm and then 6-7pm.

That much water might be having an affect on the test. I drink 3 liters a day and I cut back when using opks. I try to limit my intake as much as I can until I get a positive. Makes me a bit bloated but it's worth it. Good luck with everything!

I agree with this! ^^ I was able to take in 5 charts to my DR when I went in to talk about clomid. She was really happy and said they really helped her see what is going on. (I have late O and anovulatory cycles)

AFM- I totally did a happy dance when I saw that I was spotting. I should definitely be full flow later today or tomorrow. If clomid makes me O around cd 14 like a normal cycle... I'll be in Oregon when O happens :(. We were going to stay at my brothers place to save money but it looks like we will have to get a hotel room so we can BD. I'll try to keep temping on our trip but I am pretty sure using OPKs will be impossible. We will just start doing the every other day bd thingy.
 
Hey ladies, I have a question. If I am spotting all day but get a full flow at..say.. 10-11pm... would I consider today cd1?
