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

[mzswizz]

yes i know!!! i pretty much talked him into it because he wanted me to wait until I was up there but seeing that its going to take awhile, i rather do the proper steps so by the time i get up there, my body would be adjusting and we might end up with a surprise bfp

 

[staceyj83]

that would be great

le how are things with you

 

[L.E.]

Nothing exciting with me. The Yarrow did stop my bleeding... However, last night after our first BD in a month (due to busyness from the move and then the spotting and bleeding) I had a bleed... Took the Yarrow at 4 a.m. when I woke up with the bleed and was just spotting by morning and most of the day was just very light spotting. So I don't know if I irritated something or what... Things are a bit sensitive anyway from the bleeding and tampons and then one day I actually forgot I put a tampon in and it was in there like 24 hours... Ewww and embarrassing!! TMI sorry .

So tonight I satisfied my POAS urge and here is my opk @ 10 mins... Not positive but not bad. I've been using my Progesterone Cream for almost 3 weeks and tomorrow will be my last day. I'll stop for a week, then start up again for 3 weeks and see what happens.

PS- The thumbnail of the opk looks pretty pitiful, but it looks better when you can actually see it.

 

[staceyj83]

Its so light

 

[L.E.]

Stacey, did you click on it to make it bigger? The thumbnail looks really light, but it really wasn't light. It wasn't positive either, but maybe the pic just doesn't show it well. I'd say it is about 1/2 as dark as the control line. I've used these opks and had almost no second line before. My temp dropped way down this morning and my cvx went high and my cm is more watery. I'm not holding my breath, but it's interesting. I've got 2 more opks, so I'm hoping to use one today and one tomorrow.

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. its looking pretty good for you. Looks like its going to get dark soon And those signs sound pretty good for ov

AFM, well last night I didnt really get any sleep at all. I kept waking up because of a darn toothache But now its better so i was able to sleep for a few hours this morning I spoke to DH this morning before he went to class and he passed his physical training test so im proud of him Also, I have to go down to Miami today to move some bags from my MIL's house to my SIL's. Unfortunately, they are kicking my MIL out her house and she has by Nov. 8th to move out Which sucks because they are kicking her out before Thanksgiving So she is going to move in with me. I love her to pieces but I dont know how thats going to work. Hopefully, we dont end up biting each other's head off because we both want to be the controlling one of the house So we just got to wait and see. Also, im on cd11 and im continuing to take the prenatal vitamins. Atleast from NOT dtd..I can tell that the vitamins make me sleepy and i have LOADS of watery discharge nonstop every day. So now I know the side effects that comes with the prenatals and wont get it mixed up once the time comes around where im in the tww Im waiting for the health insurance to be processed. I have to call today to see if it is processed. I already found my primary and ob/gyn. Just so happens my primary specializes in hormonal therapy etc so thats great because I might can just be able to go to her about the cysts and everything and not the ob/gyn Also she is in the family practice field so thats good. Im just ready to schedule an appt. And the SUPER UBER DUPER good thing about the new health insurance is......we dont have to pay ANYTHING!!!! I just walk in, get serviced and come out with results So im extra happy now. Im going to most likely schedule the appt next week if i can get the insurance in time or see when she is available for new patients and then see her and work from there. Can't wait until my story becomes a success story.

 

[L.E.]

Sounds like things are moving right along for you, MzSwizz!! Glad to hear about the medical. I know that's a load off. Is the MIL just living with you temporarily, or will she be living with you and DH?

 

[L.E.]

Well I went ahead and did an OPK. I doubt I'll save my other one for tomorrow. I'll probably do it tonight and buy more tomorrow lol. Now I'm not sure if I should go ahead and stop my Progesterone Cream after today or keep using it. It hasn't affected my temps yet (as in raising them), but I'm wondering if maybe, just maybe, it is balancing them enough to make things work. I know it's a long-shot, but my OPK is looking promising. I won't be happy til it is blazing positive, but I think it's close to "regular" positive. Now I have to try to BD tonight.

The first 3 were taken at about 9-11 mins. And the last one obviously was taken at 23 mins.

The instructions say:
An LH Surge will be visible in 3-10 mins
No surge in LH will be confirmed in 20 mins
Do not read results after 30 mins

No I was laying withs teething baby and was on my phone does look darker on the laptop she cut in tooth number 4 today yay keep testing

Le that is sad about your mil and yayy for finding a doc

 

[L.E.]

Gotta love the teething. Fortunately, DS was a really good teether. I don't know if it's because he got his teeth in so early that it was just normal to him or what, but he rarely fussed over it.

 

[staceyj83]

My oldest got fussy with the first two but I think that is cause they came In at the same time after that nothing

 

[mzswizz]

le those are looking promising and she will be staying with me temporarily. she wont be moving up when we move.

 

[L.E.]

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.... Hugs to us all who have suffered losses.

 

[mzswizz]

Hugs to us all!!!

AFM, im on cd15. I finally got the new health insurance processed and that's going to be effective November 1st. But Im going to wait until I'm with DH to go to the doctor so we both can find out and I dont just go by myself. I really need my support system. For some odd reason, DH and I both have that "prepare for the worst mentallity" in which we both said was pretty bad to do, so we are just going to go in and find out what's wrong. I have been tossing and turning all night so not really any sleep for me. Also, a tooth that has been causing pain, popped out on its own I think something hit it when I was eating but atleast I dont have to deal with pain Now if only my wisdom teeth would pop out on their own..would save me a trip to the dentist 36 more days until Im on vacation in Connecticut with DH Im super happy. And then DH graduates on Nov. 30th and I move to Connecticut around the beginning of December after I come back which is Dec. 3rd! Atleast I will be up there before Christmas and my birthday. My DH already bought me my gift and its an IPOD eeeekkk I needed a new one so he bought me a 160GB IPOD Classic He knows just what to buy me. Now I got to think of what to buy him for Christmas. Im hoping to atleast be able to ttc during the trip if not then December definitely. And the funny thing is...if we conceive December (my birth month)...beanie would be due in September (DH's birth month) which DH was always hoping would happen secretly But we shall see. As for as my body goes, I just been taking the prenatals but I get too much cm. Yes, I know it sounds weird to complain about cm but seriously, I either have to put a panty liner on or end up changing underwear in midday because it leaks out as if its the after result of dtd Don't know whats going on neither. Thought it could be like early ovulation or something My cycles are being all over the place. The earliest for my cycle to start was I think 16 days and the longest 52 days so thats my new range instead of 35 days now. So now we just Also, today, I have to enroll in dental insurance so getting all the enrollment etc out the way so I can start the health and dental process. Most likely going to do the dental work before the health because I want to be pain free before ttc but we shall see.

 

[staceyj83]

I always say Im hoping for the best prepare for the worst just in case i hate wisdom teeth hope they pop out soon for you i had to get mine pulled it wasnt so bad September is a great month we have lots of birthdays in that and mine & dh anniversary

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Hello ladies! I miss you all so much! Dh grounded me from BnB.. yet I have gone incognito in the bedroom and logged on. I just wanted to check on you ladies, I think about all of you all the time.

Stacey your ultrasound pic and momma's are tooo cute!

L.E. I have been stalking your chart every single day without fail. It's a religious thing for me at this point

We aren't "trying" per se...so just waiting it out mainly until she shows or I get a + test. lol AF played a cruel joke on me last cycle. came late!!! No + though..oh well!

Hope to hear from you ladies soon... all of you to pieces!!!

 

[staceyj83]

Gender scan got put off till the 8th I was a very p off lady today

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs!!!!!!! I missed you!! Glad to see you're doing ok. Wow that was mean for AF to be late!! Aww thanks for stalking my chart. There's nothing interesting happening with it, though. I'm supposed to start up my cream again for 3 weeks starting tomorrow, but part of me wants to wait another week then do it for 2 weeks, but I don't know. Yesterday I had a little bit of spotting - not enough to where it would have bothered me to BD, but we BD the night before (very late at night) so I know it's from that. That happened last time too, and I'm not sure why. Last time it was a heavier spotting though. I'm probably going to go out here in a few mins and get a couple things from the Dollar Store, including OPKs.

Stacey, sorry your appt was moved. When was it supposed to be?

 

[staceyj83]

Yesterday but they pushed it back because im not 18 weeks yet
