Pretty yay for opks!!

Is co-worker making baby fever worse?? I think BD has a hard time officially ttc but happy to have another. I think waiting til end of year sounds like a good plan. It's in the future

Miss I'm glad he'll be there with you.

Ugh I hate using opks at someone else's place. I try to hide everything


LadyV I think BD tomorrow morning would be good. Gives the sperm plenty of time to find that egg before the egg starts "breaking down" after O.


Nice tip! I took my purse so people might think I'm taking feminine hygiene products. I would have a cup, test in a ziplock bag in my purse. I'd put test in the ziplock bag and watch it develop in my office. Cup was hidden in the trash under paper towels

Mom I do the same! Great minds think alike

 

[MissWaiting]

Yea I found my best test time is 2pm all the other times I just barely see anything I'm gone test the day before and day after anyway.
Yea I'm glad he will be to he was there with me when I found out and rushed me up to Wales and sat with me and the family for abit

 

[LadyVictoria]

Mom15 - That's a good idea too! I like to use the packet so that I don't have to carry anything aside from the OPK, which I can shove in my pocket or my bra.

Flueky - I never take my purse with me to the bathroom so it would look suspect LOL I've mostly been using softcups for my period so I don't have to change them during work hours, which is nice.

I hope tomorrow morning is good timing! I got a peak OPK just now. I'll be curious to see if I get any cramping and if it will be from my right side. June was right, July was left... I wonder if they alternate regularly or if it's a toss up.

ETA I hope 36 hours was enough... hubby couldn’t wait!

 

[MissWaiting]

That's a super positive exciting

 

[Flueky88]

LadyV ah yeah I can see that being suspicious then.

I think menstrual cups are a neat ideal, but I'm a bit grossed out about the removal. It's very odd as I'm fine with wounds that I can put my fist in, but getting menstrual blood on my hand while removing bothers me. Strange I know..

I sometimes O same side back to back. That's a very positive opk!!

 

[LadyVictoria]

Miss - it’s nice to have people to share my excitement with

Flueky - I’m the opposite! A gaping wound would make me gag lol It was definitely a big adjustment from tampons, but once I got the hang of them I fell in love! Removal can be messy, there’s really no way around that. But knowing I can wear one for up to 12 hours with no risk of TSS is nice so I can change them in the comfort of my own bathroom. Plus tampons can sometimes leave me feeling dry but since cups catch rather than absorb, that’s never an issue no matter how light your flow is. I didn’t plan on using them for TTC but I figured it couldn’t hurt our chances after seeing so many successes with them.

ETA: My temp is up this morning!

 

[LadyVictoria]

Ok my temp was up this morning but my OPK is even darker today. Maybe my eggie hasn't been released yet. I haven't felt anything in terms of cramps but I know that you can't always feel ovulation... Sigh. I'm going to try not to stress about it since we've been doing the deed every 48-36 hours.

At least we had a good time at the wedding!

[Flueky88]

Lady maybe a false rise?? Way to go on timing. I imagine your temp will really go up tomorrow. Oh and glad you enjoyed the wedding

 

[LadyVictoria]

I don’t know what would cause a false rise, but I was reading about the ovulation dip on Kindara and it sounds like it’s not a guaranteed predictor of ovulation, especially since a lot of people see no dip. We’ll see what my temps do though!

The wedding was lovely, between the horse drawn carriage rides and the bride’s cute little godson that I got to hold and play with, my day was made I want a babe of my own even more now but all in due time!

 

[Flueky88]

Stress or alcohol can cause a false. If you have fertile cm then I'd say opk is right. Oh and I don't think I've ever had a dip on O day.

Pretty yay for opks!!

I dunno about making it worse. I've always had "the fever", just more so now cuz I already have a baby and know what it's like. The floodgates are open. lol

I feel like if we were all sitting around, talking about O stuff in person, I'd just be there smiling and nodding. lol. All this talk of temps and peaks and all that is a little over my head. I've never really had to deal with it cuz Alex was a surprise, so I can't really contribute. But I'm slowly learning.

 

[LadyVictoria]

Flueky - I haven’t had any alcohol since Thursday, and I’ve never noticed it affect my temps in the past. I don’t drink much or often though.

After doing some more research I learned that you can have a long LH surge and get positive OPKs during and even after ovulation! I think that may apply to me. I got my right side cramping last night and my OPK was still peak around 8pm. I think I’m now officially in my TWW.

Pretty - That’s ok! I feel like some people are more go with the flow when trying and others (like me) want ALL the information and research things to death lol It was confusing at first because I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for, but after reading books, blogs, and posts in pregnancy groups, I’ve learned way more than I ever thought I could about the road to conception lol

 

[Flueky88]

Pretty lol baby fever is terrible when your partner isn't ready. I guess it's our equivalent of "blue balls"

I really had no idea before I ttc. I learned a few things early on, but as time went by I became more proactive. Fertility friend helped me as well as the book taking charge of your fertility. The month I conceived V I'd actually scheduled an appt with a fertility specialist after the holidays as we took awhile to conceive. I've never been so happy to cancel an appt.

LadyV well in any case sounds like you are definitely in tww today. Care to attach your chart?

 

[LadyVictoria]

No problem. I don’t know how to link to it.

Sorry I have been quiet ladies. It’s been a rough week and a half. First DH got a cold, then both DS1 & 2 and then I. And even worse we had to relieve our dog after he got sick with a very fast growing cancer. He first got sick in June and we spent $3K to get an almost 10lb tumor removed hoping it would be benign and our doggie would be fine. But last week he got weak again, stopped eating and we could see his abdomen getting large again. There was no hope. He was “only” 9 and my Dh’s first hunting buddy.
Sorry to be a downer. Hoping you all are doing well!

I’m so sorry about your dog My mom lost hers to bone cancer 2 days before my birthday this year. The diagnosis came out of nowhere and it progressed quickly. He was only 7. I hope everyone gets over their colds quickly, too.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Sorry to hear about your dog, Mom15.

Fingers crossed for your wait, LadyV.

So, BD ,Alex, and I were all hanging out in bed this morning. At one point, BD was laying on me and Alex was laying on him, so we were making a square without a 4th side. I didn't notice this until he said "I was waiting for you to say 'now we just need one more to finish the square'." And I was like "Oh, I dunno about a square. I'd prefer a pentagon or hexagon" and he was like "are you serious?" lol. And then this evening, he was asking me about how much I get from the government for the child benefit and if I (we) would get double the amount if we had 2 kids. The wheels are turning.

 

[MissWaiting]

Im so sorry mom

we had a busy weekend i went home to wales went to see my family and went to the funeral home to see my grandad before the funeral as wont have chance to see him as funeral is wednesday so it was either at the weekend or i didnt see him. Glad to be home just very tired

 

[Flueky88]

Lady chart is looking like Friday was O day, but it can be confusing if you have mixed signals.

Mom15 so sorry you've had a rough bit.

Pretty oh how exciting that he brings these things up!!! Eeek!!

Miss hope you get some rest. Thinking of you.
