positive opk @ 8dpo...HELP!!!

[L.E.]

So today I am up 45 mins earlier than I usually temp and yesterday was 1 hr and 35 mins early so I went ahead and adjusted them and made note of it. If my temp goes back down and stays down I'll put the unadjusted temps in.

stacey-congrats!

fngrs-happy belated birthday and hope your mom is well.

AFM, wow sorry ladies I havent been on much. I only have 5 days left before I leave and I must say, I have been very busy getting everything sorted out so I can finally relax before leaving. Im very excited to go in. I cant wait to see DH. My family is coming around now about me leaving to go to the Navy. And they even bought a webcam so we can video chat once I get out of boot camp. We received the formal invite for DH's graduation on August 31st Cant believe he is graduating already. It doesnt seem like he has been in there for like 3 weeks now. Time surely is flying. Speaking of time, I am already on cd14. I havent been really paying attention to my cycle at all. I just want to say that Im going to miss every last one of you. Im so glad that I have you women in my life going through my journey as well as letting me into your journeys. We have been through good times and bad and even whacky times But we have all kept each others' spirits high and always was willing to give out a helping hand and I must say, you ladies made me who I am today as a woman and a wife that is ttc. So i want to say thank you for everything you ladies have done and will do for me in the future And one more thing...i am officially an E2 yay AIRMAN APPRENTICE CLAYTON!!!!

I cannot believe that your leaving already !!! Wishing you luck and I know you'll do great !!!

 

[mommapowers32]

Momma- what's going on with you? You're MIA and your chart isn't updated. I hope that cramping didn't turn into anything major....

No it didn't and af only lasted 2 days !!! I've had a little spotting but nothing bad. but I pulled my groin muscle while working out lol so I've been babying myself lol.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Ok ladies, well I just put in today's temp and got a shock... dotted cross-hairs saying I'm 3 dpo!? I really don't think I did and I assume my chart is going to change at some point, but needless to say my jaw dropped when I put in my temp and saw my chart change. My opks have been about as negative as I've ever seen them.

That's exactly why I told you happy ovulation on the 17th! I noticed your temp were higher than you other six. Then on the 18th that made your 2 and now you have 2 more. Well it may just be something with the dollar store opk's not picking up very well? Either way I hope you danced and caught the egg if you ovulated. Your tests are light, but maybe you missed the surge if your pee wasn't that concentrated. I understand about drinking when you want to, You know I am the one for not dieing of thrust for an ovulation test...lol Hopefully if you didn't ovulate yet you will get a nice blazing positive opk. I love your chart anyway!!! + opk or not!!!


Happy selling today! I love yard sales and thrift stores so much. You'd be amazed at some of the things you'd find. And then the prices are too good to be true!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

im not sure why but they dont sell that kind in the us i have lots of friends over seas that use them its not fair we dont have them here i want to pee on one lol

LE i do believe FF is wrong

I agree that it isn't fair. why can't we have them here. If anything we would be some of their best customers! I am going to order one on amazon, I may be able to use it one of these days. Hopefully before it's experation.

Today is my DS#2's birthday he is now 6!!!! And he is excited about being 6 now. He keeps telling me he wants to be 15...Yea there ya' go rush the years!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Momma I hope you get better soon. I hate pulled muscles and then groin??? That's oneo f the worst places. The back is also a bad place too.

 

[L.E.]

Aww happy birthday to DS#2! Mine will be 6 in 3.5 months... they grow too quickly!

When you told me happy ovulation I thought you were crazy lol or talking about future ovulation. Supposed O was the 16th and we BD on the 15th and 17th and the 11th, though that one probably doesn't help. So ok chances. FF marked it as "good".

I pulled a nice one today... locked myself out of the house and 2 people stopped wanting to see our place!! Of course!!!!! And I'm supposed to pick up my car today. DH is checking to see if he can come home, but I may be out of luck. Good thing my mom lives next door!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

LADIES!!! I got my hpt's today...Ovulation tests are on the way! Those really should have come before the hpt's...It doesn't make any sense to ship them so late, despite my ordering them at the same time. But, hey, different sellers, different ship dates. Guess they will be here in time for ovulation.

Anyhow I took some pics to post on their site for other customers. These are longer and they aren't as wide. They do have the solid pink handle though and I didn't see an immediate evap. So I am letting it dry out to see if it leaves and evap line. So far so good. I got 25 for $4.99. Oh yea, the control line is really dark. even though the test isn't as wide the line can be seen really well. I imagine if I got a positive it may show a little darker since the test looks like it has a nice amount of dye in it.

The last pic is a test from the M/C and for comparison. i finally found solid pink handle tests!!! yay!! I like the solid pink handles because they show darker than wondfo. Well that is when you are indeed pregnant they do.

Oh my L.E. you have preggo brain already?!?!?

Your dancing days were good and the dancing on the 16th was definitely a good idea!!! I was hoping that I wasn't nuts, and thought my eyes can't be deceiving me. I saw all of the low temps everyday and said this must be it!!! she may have just missed the surge, with those kinds of opk's. I don't do well with those for some reason. I never get a blazing positive! I did that once last year. I think they don't have a lot of dye or something. Do you remember my comparison earlier in this thread? The dollar test, First response and the digi? I don't think I will ever use those (dollar) again...Too much confusion there. My wondfo's are on the way and Dh has my digi's in his custody as I type.

To answer about my mom...she is now home. My grandmother is going in though, she has fluid in her lungs and her leg isn't so good. She saw a different doctor and he discharged her so we are waiting on her Dr. to call and give the green light to send her back in. I promise my senior citizen family have me in a frenzy!!! lol lol lol lol They are shaking things up unintentionally. I wish they weren't under the weather like this. I hate when they are sick because it makes me feel so helpless. All I can do is continue to pray. But I am sure they are going to be fine.

My mom called a little while ago for DS2 and she was telling me how much she needs a mango or peach tea... yea like that's going to happen. If it isn't diet she might as well just cancel that one out, because I won't be the one buying it for her. I don't think anyone will at this point. She is such a sugar/carb addict!!! sheesh!

 

[L.E.]

I'm still leaning toward me not having O'd yet. My temps today are adjusted, but FF would've still given me cross-hairs anyway. TCOYF will not do it unless my temp is over 97.4 tomorrow, then it will give me the 18th for O with a 97.3 cover line. That is using the adjusted temps. Plus my cm hasn't really dried up. I know in January/Feb my cm went to infertile 1 or 2 days after O and stayed that way til 2 days before I got my bfp. I didn't keep track so well in Dec, but I know my cm did what I thought it should do. I did note my right ovary having some pain a day or 2 after I O'd and I had that all day at "2 dpo" from about 2 a.m. off an on the rest of the day. Sooooo I'm confused still. Guess I just wait it out as usual. Just took an opk and it was faint.

Fngrs, Glad your mom is doing better and I hope your grandma's leg is an "easy fix". You're fortunate to have your grandma around still. Between me and DH, all 8 of our grandparents have passed away and DH's dad passed when I was pregnant with DS.

I'm going to try to find that thread with the opks. I really liked the Wondfos but they may have been a little too sensitive for my wacky body.

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, do you have any idea what month even that you posted those pics? I can't find them.

Oh and Yes I do have a foggy brain today. I locked myself out, tripped over a cord I knew was there, ...ok now I had one other thing and I can't think of it lol... Proving my own point. I think it's because I was up earlier than usual and am tiiiiirrreeeddd. Lots of caffeine today. Oh the other thing was that I forgot to take the booster seat out before I took the rental back... did remember once I got there though, so yay for me! lol.

 

[staceyj83]

aww our lo turn 6 pretty close my dd#1 will be 6 in 2.5 month wow cant believe my baby is going to be 6 i have locked my self out of the house i dont know how many times lol today has been a fun day we went to the pool and let alice go in for the first she didnt know what to make of it lol

 

[L.E.]

Aww I bet that was fun. DS was a fall baby so he didn't try the pool out til he was older, and actually I'm thinking maybe he didn't go in a pool til he was about 19 months old.

 

[staceyj83]

yes it was she seem to like she keep smiling my ana bear was to and we lived up north at the time so by the time she could go in there was snow on the ground so she didnt go in till we moved back down to tampa so she was about a year old oh how i miss snow oh yea happy 200 pages lol

 

[L.E.]

This past winter was really mild for northern Ohio, but no complaints here. Woohoo for 200 pages!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Yes, Happy 200 hundred pages!!!

L.E. I think when I took those in I got a bfp (big faint positive ); so that would be Jan 5-7 and March 4-7 roughly. Lack of sleep will make the brain mushy. Thank God for your caffeine yesterday. I love my coffee I will admit to that. Most people act as if caffeine is the Devils advocate. Within ration I don't think it's a problem when TTC. Should a girl deprive herself completely of everything?! I say -->


Stacey I bet Alice was too happy to be in the water. And with it being so hot...Gosh there is nowhere else in the world to be than in the wter. I haven't went swimming at all this summer. And I swim like a fish. The kids have though. My kids were older when they got in the pool too. DS1 was 1.5 DD was 1 DS2 was almost 2...These ages are for a full sized pool, they hit the little kiddy pool you set up in your back yard before those ages. I just don't consider the kiddy pool the "major milestone"

So ladies I am pulling my hair out because I am ready for my opk's to be delivered. I woke this morning to a 97.27 temp...I took it again and it was 97.22. Now I want my opk's so I can see where I am. I might just have to cave in and use one of my digi's...(sighs) I just didn't want to do that. Those are backup. The package tracker says it will be here on Monday...I may cave and use one to see where I am... not sure if I am completely decided on that one.

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, Your temps look so good! Mine, on the other hand don't.... Lower temp this morning (96.97) so Even with adjusted temps it doesn't seem right. I was hoping that maybe my chart was right, but I'm thinking still that it isn't. Blah. O already, body!

 

[staceyj83]

yea the kiddie pool is one thing i like starting with the real pool dd can swim all the way over to the deep part 6Ft and back to the 3Ft like its nothing she loves the water i was the some way when i was younger yesterday it was just to hot i got sick from being in the heat yuck

fngrs i dont think you are going to O just yet but i hope your opks come in today i hate waiting for them

LE I dont like FF for you i want to go in the pc and kick it for you lol

oh my ic hpt got a lot darker about time to

 

[L.E.]

Aww my mom is so sweet.... bought me a pack of smiley opks... Had them marked down at Kroger for $7.19 for a 7 pack!! If there's any more when I go next, I think I'd buy more. Great deal!

So for fun right before this (about 15 mins ago now) I took a dollar tree opk with smu (about 30 min hold) and got this... Not a positive but getting close!! Of course I thought my cvx was firmer last night and today, but still pretty high and cm is still pretty watery, though I thought it was maybe a little less fertile, so who knows with this crazy body!! I'll probably be trying out my digis later today hehe.

EDIT: Haha helps if I add the pics lol.
