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

[L.E.]

Umm yea I suppose I could test with an hpt in 3 days. That sounds so weird to say. I'm figuring my temps will still go down instead of up... not wishing for that, but preparing myself. I've still been really foggy-brained. Today at the garage sale, I had the baby socks at 5 pr for 50 cents. A little girl asked me how much for 1 pair and I said "a nickel" then took it back and told her my brain is fried... haha can't even believe I did that math let alone telling a 7(ish) yr old that my brain is fried!!

Thanks, Fngrs... Yes even with unadjusted temps FF gave me cross-hairs. I took out my opks for now (they're noted in my notes anyway) and went ahead and fixed my cm. I had it all as watery, but I figured I should just be comparing it with itself vs text book. It has all looked watery, but the past few days has had more white to it and it was pretty clear for those couple days at "O" time. So now my cross-hairs are solid. And the day I have marked as dry, still looked watery but there was not much at all that day, so I marked it that way now. It is all subjective and sometimes hard to figure out. My unadjusted temps were 97.25 and 97.27... up 1.5 hrs early and 45 mins early. I guess I don't trust my body to do things normally after I got cross-hairs even before my sickness really showed up last time and they wouldn't go away... grrr. The other 2 times that I O'd, my opks were definitely positive and for a couple days, so yet another reason to doubt. I'm glad you think I did though. I'll be really disappointed if I didn't, but not terribly surprised since I'm used to my body letting me down.

Anyway, I think that was a good response to the guy, Fngrs. I've heard of mom's being surrogates for their daughters, but I'm pretty sure they used the daughter and her husband's DNA for it... plus that man chose to have a vasectomy and the woman chose to marry a man who is old enough to have grown children... so I don't feel sorry for them at all. Weird weird weird.

Are your mom and grandma doing better?

Well your unadjusted temps are still above you last 6, so that means ovulation without a doubt!! I think taking the opk's out is probably best until you are convinced that you ovulated. But I really think you did ovulate. I had watery CM after ovulation the cycle I got my bfp with Masyn. So that may be a good sign.

I have also heard of mom's being a surrogate, but you are right they do use the daughters egg and husbands sperm. To me that is a lot different than what this guy was saying. I can't see using my daughters egg and my new husbands sperm so I can have a baby. It's just disgusting really. And will be a living nightmare for the child. It's inconsiderate of him to even consider asking one of his sons to do that.

My mom is doing good, my grandmother is good too. They are waiting for her Dr. who is on vacation. I still think it's best she see's her Dr. and get her opinion on going into the hospital.

lol I imagine it feels weird. You have been waiting for ovulation for so long. And finally you are in the TWW!!!

@ a nickel!!! and really @ telling the little girl your brain is fried. I wonder what she was thinking after that. did she buy the socks or put them back and walk away quickly?

Morning Ladies! Got a 96.90 this morning... I am kinda' with that one. There is no logical excuse for that low temp. I am still temping vaginally so no real excuse for it. I will say this though, I didn't expect that one. I was waiting to hear the beep this morning and was thinking wow my temp must be really up there. To my surprise there it was staring me in the face and laughing at me. My chart was looking so, hmmm, so NORMAL!!! And now there it is the oddity! I have really been chatting it up with myself this morning. That's all I needed to talk to myself was that really low temp. Darn it, I am going to be talking to myself all day about it...


So how are you lovely ladies doing this morning?

Where is momma?! I can't believe she is MIA again. I tell you when she gets back she is grounded from going on another thread!!! And she is going to be locked on this one for two weeks!!!

I know this an older post but I can't seem to get reply elsewhere and I too am having pos Opks after ovulation. Pretty new to this site and was looking for some ttc'ers to help me out. You guys seem so sweet on here I figured I'd give it a shot. Here's my tests, and in order from top to bottom
2dpo
3dpo
4dpo am
4dpo pm
5dpo
6dpo am
6dpo pm
7dpo hcg pm
9dpo am hcg
9dpo am opk

 

[staceyj83]

are you doing any temping to make sure you Od or just the opks?

 

[JandOsmommy]

I kind of stopped charting last two cycles bc DH was worried I was stressing myself out by over-analyzing my cm, cp, and temps and planning bd and so on. I still however (bc I still like to know whats going on with my body) check cp and cm and Opks. ( I didn't get my Opks until I'm pretty sure I ovulated, which I think is 7/14 bc of cp cm and I usually get ov bleed but this time it was just brownish mixed in cm spotting for a day and half. Sry tmi). This cycle just seems really weird for me and I don't want to get mine or DH hopes up bc we've been trying for what to us seems like forever, just to be disappointed every month. But I've had really sore bbs which is first for me and as of yesterday a lot of thick creamy cm (which I've never had like this except with my first pregnancy, and it's not infectious cm, no color smell or anything like that). then this mornings opk looked pos to me so I'm totally confused and wishing I had temped anyways bc that's usually a pretty predictable pattern for me.

 

[L.E.]

Hi!!! Do you also have pictures of the tests before that? That would help. Those look like a lot of "close" opks but only 2 look very close to positive. Were your other tests a lot darker than the control? You could be having trouble getting the egg out. I've had some dark, near or positive opks without ovulating, so it's hard to say without seeing the other tests and/or temps.

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, The girl herself was a little weird so I don't think she thought anything of it. Actually she was kind of sweet, buying things for her baby brother and comes from a really weird (and sounds sort of bad) home life. Sooo my brain being fried was probably mild for her but I still couldn't believe I said it lol.

Your temp drop looks good! Maybe you'll be Oing on CD12 again or sooner. It's been a while since you've mentioned having a chat with yourself. Glad to see you're on speaking terms again!! Cracks me up because I can just picture it!

Stacey, Ha I bet they will think you're crazy. I probably would think so too, if I hadn't had all these problems. I would welcome babies close together. As much work as they are, babies are blessings, not burdens.

Well ladies, I looked at my thermometer this morning and read it as "97.14" and thought- haha- see, I didn't ovulate. Then I put my glasses on and saw it was 97.44, so I'm still in the "maybe" mindset. My temps need to go up a lot more for there to even be a chance at being pregnant, or even to convince me I O'd. Well actually a BFP or AF is probably all that will convince me for sure.

 

[JandOsmommy]

No didn't start Opks till after I think I ovulated, didn't get them till what I think is 2dpo. I had ewcm hso cervix and o spotting and o cramping. Im pretty sure I ovulated because of the mid cycle spotting. Don't know if you'd get it without your egg being released though? I have no idea though. I'm bummed I didn't stick with my complete charting, especially since this cycle has been so different.

 

[L.E.]

Hmmm well it is so hard to say without testing before that. I say if your test gets darker without a positive hpt, assume that you are just now Oing and BD just in case. I think temping is less stressful than wondering, although I still wonder with my temps, but there's a lot less guess-work with it as I was prone to dark opks without Oing so I was always taking hpts.

I'd started getting so much better...talking to other people rather than talking to myself all the time. And then this morning..WHAM!!! I had to call a group meeting with me, myself, and I. We still are talking about it and have been all morning. me and myself asked so many questions to I, until I really couldn't answer all of them.

OH man that makes me wonder when I am going to ovulate... better get dancing. We danced yesterday so that is a good thing. And now I am questioning my Wondfo's already.... They have been dark but not positive. Guess I better break out the digi's and just buy more tomorrow.

I think you ovulated L.E. that 97.44 is another high temp. I hope it goes higher than that and you get your bfp soon. When are you testing lady?! I am ready to see some lines!!!

 

[L.E.]

Don't pressure me into testing yet!! LOL I'm going to try to hold off at least a few days to see what my temps do.

Oh my TCOYF is so fickle.... I figured out what it takes to get it to say I O'd... You know what it was??? My July 12th temp was 97.09 so marked it as 97.1. If I mark it as 97.0, I get O for the 16th just like FF. Do they not realize that temping is pretty accurate, but that about anything can affect your temp .05 degrees or less... I mean if it had been 97.04 instead of 97.09, it would've marked it 97.0. Grrr. Anyway, my temps still don't have me convinced, but my cm is getting a bit thicker, so maybe that means my progesterone levels are going up and I'll see higher temps soon. I hope so!!

 

[JandOsmommy]

How did you find out you weren't Oing? It's been 7 months of trying naturally for DH and I and doc said not to worry until 12 cycles with no luck, but I can't help but wonder if I'm having a problem similar to your. I conceived my two babies naturally so I'm getting worried something's wrong with me. I also thought that the mid cycle bleeding was abnormal but doc assures me that it's ok and good sign of ovulation. What did they do for you to help you actually release an egg?

 

[L.E.]

Well for me I never had regular periods and bled most of the time (vs not having a period)... I'm just one of those lucky people that not Oing has the opposite effect on. I finally got diagnosed with PCOS a little over a year ago. Provera helps restart me and get me to O, but it took about 50 days last time (O'd in Dec) then had a period 2 weeks later and O'd around CD25 in Jan, conceived, but it ended right away with my period coming "on time"... then when I didn't O again in Feb, Mar, or April, my body started with the spotting and bleeding again until finally I started Provera again a month ago. My temps said I O'd 7 days ago but my opks weren't even close to positive, so we'll see. I didn't stop drinking and hold my urine like you're supposed to though. I had a "fake" O a couple months ago but I was sick and think my BBT was slightly raised a few days before I actually felt sick. Soooo yea. If you're getting your period every month it is likely that you're ovulating regularly. I had an ovulation bleed when I'd ovulated in December. It lasted 1 day and it was an actual bleed. I don't know if it's because it had been so many years since I ovulated or what. Everyone said ovulation bleeding isn't a bleed, just spotting, but mine was a bleed, but short-lived.

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs... 99% of the time I see charts with bfps, their temp is at least that magic 97.7, so unless it gets that high I probably won't test. I did cave and buy more digi opks because they still had the 7 pack clearance for $7.19 at Kroger when I just went there. There was another pack, but I was half-way good and just bought one. It's sooo cheap for them that I couldn't pass it up!! I figure if I get my bfp and it is a sticky bean, I'll pass them on to someone else since they expire in Nov. I still have 5 left of my other pack, but it is about to be 4. hehe

 

[FngrsCrossed]

L.E. I wish I could find that kind of sale here. I might need to hit our kroger stores and see if they have them on clearance too. If I am going to save that much money I might as well. Compared to 28 bucks for a 7 pack from Walmart I could use paying a little over 7 dollars for them.

I caved and took a digi with my "I ate watermelon" pee..lol How smart was that? Of course it was negative. I guess I will test tonight, because I ate even more watermelon after the negative. It was so watered down it was pitiful, and I knew better, but had a moment where i thought "Hey this test is expensive...it may pick up an LH surge." yea better luck next time...lol


about bugging you to test...I know right now you won't get a positive and I should not be such a bad influence!! It's going to take at least 2 more days!!! See I am still being a bad influence!!! You should so unfriend me!

 

[L.E.]

Ha sorry, Fngrs... you can't escape me that easily! I took my digi opk with diluted pee too. Sometimes you just gotta go with the urge. Mine was 'cause I just bought new ones so I HAD to pee on something. How bad is it that I'm still testing with opks when my chart says I'm 7 dpo?? You see how much I trust my body.

 

[L.E.]

Now I just have to avoid Target and the Dollar store for the next few days. There's no way I will be strong enough to not buy any hpts if I go to either store.
