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

[staceyj83]

what kind of test are you using ?

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. sounds like you're one step closer to OV And when DH was younger...he went on cruises. But i have never been on a cruise so it would be a great experience in more ways than one

Aus & justhoping-It can be that you failed to ov and your body is gearing up to try to ov again, you could be pregnant, or the opks or hpts are giving a false reading. For me, AF had ended up coming that time around. And I found out i have PCOS which would explain why I always get positive opks but dont ovulate.

 

[justhoping]

what kind of test are you using ?

for opk i used answer and clear blue Fertility ones..clear blue digi..

for ept several different kinds......

weird enough i had two pregnancies in my past that did not show in urine what so ever through the whole time...

sad enough i do not think this is one of those times though i wish...

 

[mzswizz]

justhoping-maybe you should go in for a blood test.

 

[L.E.]

JustHoping...if you had that in the past, it would be worth getting a blood test in a week or two if AF still hasn't arrived. I believe most people will have a positive hpt before the opk, or riiiiight after, but there are always exceptions to the rule.

 

[L.E.]

Well ladies, I went out and got a couple Dollar Tree OPKs tonight.... Definitely bummed now! They're not even close to positive. I couldn't find my camera right away, so I just scanned in the Wondfos. The Wondfos and Dollar Tree are from the same sample, just different times (before I went to the store and afterwards).

 

[staceyj83]

Id say go for blood work if af doesnt show

 

[justhoping]

Id say go for blood work if af doesnt show

ill give it the good all another two week wait and see, if nothing i will definitely go in...

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. from looking at the dollar store tests..its not actually that light. I'll give it a few more days. Maybe you are catching the beginning part of your surge.

 

[L.E.]

Well my body is being weird as usual... temp was higher today and cm is creamy. Of course DH and I didn't BD the past 2 nights . I wanted to try last night but we were both really tired and my opks were negative, so I figured we'd try today. If we can manage to during the day, I will, otherwise I'll try for tonight. So I figured either I O'd without a big surge, or my body maybe tried and failed, so it's starting over and may try again (Or I'll go back to my issues if I wait it out). It's always so hard to say with me.

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. if i was you, i would get the puncing just in case it was a failed ovulation. You never know.

AFM, im cd28 today. Time is flying by in my cycle and tomorrow I officially start week 2 of the BCPs. Thursday I will be on the plane to go see DH so I am super uber excited I have been waiting for this day for the longest. DH and I both have doc appts on Monday Also, since im finished packing, I can focus on other things like MIL moving in, working out etc. Well today is Saturday and Im going to enjoy my Saturday. Might go to the beach or the pool. We shall see though.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, glad you got the packing out of the way and can enjoy the weekend.

I WILL BD at some point today... I have every intention of making it happen <insert evil cackle here> lol. So I think my opks are pure evil and in cahoots with each other. For kicks, I just did a Wondfo and Dollar Tree. It was a very short hold, decent concentration, but could've been better. What's killing me is that I've had darker Wondfos than this... and yesterday's Wondfo was this dark or darker but the Dollar Tree was a little lighter than this one. To me, this Dollar Tree opk looks like it's not far from O (either before or after). Grrr. I don't know what to think. I just need to get my BD in tonight and then see what tomorrow and the next day's temps look like. Any thoughts? I know we won't really know for a couple days, but I'd like the input if you have any. My body is forever teasing me in one way or another.

I think the second pic made the Dollar Tree test line look slightly darker than in real life and maybe the 1st one made it a little lighter... so I guess it's in between those 2 pics.

 

[L.E.]

I'm leaning towards that O hasn't happened yet. My temp today wasn't super-high and I really just don't feel like I O'd. The 2x I did O before, I had a similar experience (thought I wasn't temping then)... but I had a good length of time with watery cm, then it changed to watery but white (like watered-down creamy cm), then I got positive OPKs and very fertile cm with some ovary activity a few days before and/or afterwards. Soooo I think I'm still waiting for O. Anyway, I'm blabbering.

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. i think ov hasnt happened yet for you. Today's temp looks like its in a normal range but we shall see for the upcoming days and your wondfo looks dark to me and the dollar tree looks light.

 

[L.E.]

Yea I don't know what to think... just waiting it out. CM is back to creamy today so who knows. I had 1 random high temp during AF, but my temp is .2 degrees higher than my highest temp otherwise which is enough to raise in eyebrow, but that's about it. It is .42 higher than yesterday, but could definitely be random. This cycle my temps have been higher in general than past cycles. My temp has only been near or above that 97.7 mark a handful of times since April without Provera or sickness, so it's a little weird, but not exactly unheard of for me. Dunno.

 

[mzswizz]

Well lets just see how tomorrow's temp is looking and then go from there. Because i think we are both right about the whole not ovulating yet.

AFM, so tomorrow starts week 2 of the BCPs and i think i am already getting the nausea symptom. I been nauseous all day today on and off.

 

[L.E.]

Today's temp was low... I did wake up and temp a million times but I went right back to sleep so my temp shouldn't have been affected much. 6 or 7 a.m. I think it was about 97.4 and once I saw a 96.9 I think, but at my normal time it was 97.17, so I'm going with that. I never fully woke up or got out of bed... which is why I don't remember exactly what temps I saw... was too tired lol. I just took a Wondfo OPK and it looks good, but so have most of my other ones. Plus it's still negative. For a minute I thought maybe it would be equal to the control (still negative for me), but it is a little lighter. Hoping O is just a couple days away. We didn't BD the last 3 nights, so maybe we'll be ready to BD every other day for the next week or so. Oh and I only have 2 Wondfos left. I think I'm going to have to go ahead and buy some more Dollar Tree OPKs tomorrow.

Here is the OPK I took a few mins ago...

 

[L.E.]

I'm about to give up on Oing. Tonight's test was considerably less dark. I guess if I don't see some signs of O in a week, I'll call the doc. I'm debating on whether or not I should even buy more opks or not, but I think I'd rather buy the OPKs to know if/when to time BD, and just BD when we feel like it otherwise. I'm just bummed about it all. 6 years is a long time to wait for a second LO. And even if you count from the time I was really ready for another one, it's still been a 4 year wait.

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. hope your body gets it together and you OV soon. Wow 6 yrs of waiting and I was complaining about my 2 yrs just for #1. I think your plan of action about going to the doctor sounds good. Atleast they can figure out whats going on ovulation wise. Im just like you..just ready for my body to cooperate and do what its suppose to do. Cant wait until I stop the BCPs and see if they really worked. I would be bummed if i wasted 6 months of trying if it doesnt work but from what I feel (ovarian pain in both ovaries and excess cm) I think that it is working its magic so hoping the pills are gearing my ovaries up for the big day

 

[mzswizz]

Doctor's appt: Well my doctor's appt went very well actually. I got the results from my last visit. Also, I told her that I am now on BCPs. Well, my thyroid levels are perfect. BUT now we have another issue. Well, good thing is im not anemic (due to super havy bleeding during AFs). The issue is my platelet level is very high Normal range is 140-400 and mines is at 523 I asked her what is a platelet and she said that it is what controls the clotting in the blood. She said with my level being high...i would be able to get pregnant but wont be able to carry the pregnancy Which would explain alot now So she has requested I see a hematologist and let him do all the proper bloodwork so we can get the underlying problem fixed so by the time im off BC, i will be set and ready to go Did I say my doc was amazing or what So one step closer to our rainbow baby. Im happy that Im finalyl getting my answers but pissed the my former doctors didnt find out none of these issues in the past because they could've been solved by now.
