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

[L.E.]

I see the shadow on the first (no color) and nothing on the 2nd but you're still super early!

 

[L.E.]

Anymore tests, Fngrs?

Stacey and MzSwizz where are you? How are you two doing?

Well I started exercising yesterday- nothing major to start. I have a Gazelle and I love it for light workouts. I just did 25 mins yesterday. I'll probably build up to longer times somedays but unless you're watching a really interesting show, it gets boring. I was in a rush too, so I didn't have the extra time right then to devote. I'm happy with the 25 to start anyway. Soooo I weighed myself 2 days ago hoping to start exercising then (Sun) but didn't start til yesterday. Well I weighed myself this morning and was already down 2.6 lbs! Not sure how that is possible since I just started yesterday, but I'll take it. I figure it's because my belly was really empty. I guess we'll see what happens in the next few days, but for now it's a good motivator.

No OPKs yet today but I will post the results whenever I do take a test.

L.E. your temp this morning looks really good. Congrats on the 2 lbs. I would love to workout. But it's entirely too cold, and we don't have the room in the house for any type of exercise equipment. I can't even see me doing jumping jacks in here, I might knock something over or hurt myself on random objects. So I have to wait until the weather is a little warmer than it is. It's a mile around my neighborhood.

I don't have any more tests and refuse to take any more for a few days.

 

[L.E.]

Well you could be 6-9 dpo, so another 4 days and you should have a good idea, though you still have a week til AF is due.

Im here i have been reading just not posting im ok just kind blah feeling

 

[L.E.]

Hiiiii Stacey! Hope you feel better soon. Is it remnants from being sick or just 3rd trimester making you tired?

 

[staceyj83]

3 tri on top of contractions and morning sickness is here again

 

[L.E.]

Oh no! Not morning sickness again!! Maybe baby is pushing on your belly making more acid or something.

 

[L.E.]

My opk earlier was negative, btw. Thought I would update. Weird thing is that I have clumpy cm tonight and a drier feeling, but I had a really wet feeling earlier today and on the tp, but I figured it was from BD last night. I know I wasn't dry yesterday though. Could be a fluke, but if it keeps up, I'll wonder. I've had a day of sticky/clumpy cm, but it doesn't last unless I O'd. So I'm assuming this is just a fluke.

 

[L.E.]

Braxton hicks or contractions you should be worried about?

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Hi Stacey!! So sorry that you are with the morning sickness again. I hope you feel better soon. You don't have much longer. 3rd trimester is always so much fun isn't it? Just when you think the first tri suffering is gone, it comes back later. I was like that with DD. It lightened up for a month or two in the 2nd tri and then came back 3rd tri. Well you will be holding little prince in a little while.

L.E. I know what you mean about the dry up. It makes it confusing. Hopefully it's not ovulation juuuust yet. SO you and your DH and dance a little more. You had that nice dark opk..when was it? Yesterday maybe? Or day bafore?Plus that 96.6? temp could mean ovulation. Like I said I hope you guys danced tonight and you have a little more time to do more. SInce your DH wasn't feeling too well.

For me..I am at my mother's. Maybe for a couple of days. My grandmother is refusing to go to wound care for her leg. She seems to listen to me more than my mom. So I need to be here to help my mom out. My grandmother has gotten really rebellious these days. She may or may not take meds..The only thing she will take without arguing with my mom about is her insulin. SHe is a super duper diabetic. So it's important that she has to wound on her leg taken care of. Or the whole leg will get infected and they will have to cut it off. I am the only reason she agreed to even go to wound care in the first place. She and I had a talk at the beginning of last month, and she agreed to go. She had been telling my mom she wasn't going. But hey I have a way with words with her, and she and I are very close. So I won that battle.

I got some Answer hpt's at walmart on the way here. So I can have something name brand to test with. But you know I already used one, because I can't resist temptation. Here it is...I think I see something on there. I sure hope I am right and that it gets darker. I have like 2 more so I can use one a day...until i run out of course and have to go get more...which is in about a day and a half. If not tomorrow evening! I hate myself for testing like this.

BEAR IN MIND THAT MY PHONE CAMERA SUCKS!

 

[staceyj83]

Gotta love morning sickness i wish it just bh i have been having real contractions not time able ones and they only last about 30 secs so i have to keep of my feet up lots of water my doctor is going to check me tomorrow

 

[staceyj83]

I see something in the first pic fxd it gets darker

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, I can't see it, but I do know how hard it is to capture those light lines on camera. I hope it gets darker for you! Oh and when I have a 3pk of tests, they're gone in 24 hours.

Yes it's really important for your Grandma to get that looked at, especially since she's diabetic. Diabetes really messes up healing times.

My aunt isn't diabetic, but she did have a wound on her foot from a motorcycle accident that she fought with for years and years (at least 10 because that's how long I've known her) and she finally had to have her foot and half her leg amputated this past summer. I'm sure that's not something you want to see your grandma going through. Older people can be so stubborn.

Stacey, well I hope your little man holds off at least another 6 weeks. Be sure to take it easy and let us know how your appt goes.

::TMI alert:: For me, Well I'm not sure what's up with my body. Lots of sticky/clumpy cm which usually only happens after O. I hope I'm not getting some sort of infection down there. Never have had one that I know of, but there's always a chance. No, DH and I didn't BD last night but we did finally BD Monday night. Because of the cm, I sort of expected to see a big temp rise today, but that didn't happen. Curious to see what happens tomorrow. I guess it could be that I'm doing an infertile phase to prepare for another fertile phase. I just looked at my past charts, and any day I had marked as "S" cm (which wasn't very many), none of them were exactly like this. The only time I remember having it like this was a year ago when I conceived with my chemical. Now last month with my surprise O, I did have a creamy/clumpy mix, but this is more clumpy than creamy. Back a year ago, I was wondering if I had an infection too because of the cm.

 

[L.E.]

Well I think my temp is going to stay low or stay low-ish or do the up and down thing. If my temp goes and stays higher, FF gives me dotted CH for CD16.

 

[staceyj83]

Im being as lazy as alice will let me be i know that is what i keep telling him everytime i have one i will its early in the morning she was talking about doing some test called ffn which i had never heard of till i looked it up maybe for you that kind of cm is a good thing

 

[L.E.]

I never heard of that either so I just looked it up too. Very interesting that docs would have a clue as to whether or not you would go into preterm labor.

 

[staceyj83]

Yea i know and i read just because it comes pos doesnt mean you will ill ask more about it tomorrow if she plans on doing it i just want to make sure the contractions are not changing anything yet

 

[L.E.]

For fun, here are my tests done, starting with the 6th... there are a few days skipped in there too. Another one to follow with the last couple.

 

[L.E.]

Last 3. The darkest of all the tests so far was Jan 6th (first test on first post), which means nothing really. I *think* the next darkest was the one on Jan 12 (says 3:45 pm on it)... Which still means nothing lol.
