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

[L.E.]

I woke up 2 hours late for temping so I doubt my temp is very accurate... and I'm sure those CH aren't accurate either. My temp will probably be lower tomorrow and then they'll go away again.

 

[L.E.]

I called it. So how are you ladies doing? I'm starting to get a bit impatient and frustrated waiting on O. Fngrs, I think you're going to O again before I do, if I even do.

I started my low carb/clean eating yesterday. My efforts to exercise and eat a little better were in vain, and I actually gained a lb. My body is ridiculous. I gained nothing over Christmas when I baked and ate a lot of cookies, and had more pop than usual, but I exercise 4 days one week and 2 days the next week, and eat a little better, and gain. Sheesh. I swear sometimes I can't get a break. Couple that with STILL waiting on O, and I swear I could've cried when I weighed and was up a lb.

So usually when I do the cleaner eating with very little carbs the weight comes off the best. I guess it's the PCOS that makes cutting carbs so important for me. So I pretty much eliminate bread, pasta, potatoes, sugar (except in fruit form and some yogurt). It's hard to keep up with because I love carbs. I'd rather eat pasta than pretty much any meat. So I'm hoping the weight comes off sort of fast. I've got almost 9 weeks til vacation. 15 is the minimum I'm hoping to get off, and I've love to see 30 gone.

I'm blabbering.

 

[L.E.]

Ok well today's temp was lower and it was taken 1.5 hours late, so it may have been even lower at my normal time- not sure. I guess I turned my cell phone alarm off. My other phone the buttons on the side act like the snooze button, but on this one it turns it off. I may need to go back to my regular alarm clock or find a different one. I don't even really remember turning this one off today (or hearing it) lol.

Hey there ladies. Been spending most of my time at the hospital. Grandmother had surgery and is in ICU. She is on a venilator and if she wasn't Doc said she would live very long. Yesterday she was only taking 2 breaths per minute. So been dealing with that. I am so sorry that I have bowed out again on you ladies. That totally sucks.

Anyhow, Stacey I am so glad that your little boy passed the test. Hope all goes well with you two.

L.E. When I saw the 97.7? I wondered if the stress of all of this made me ovulate early. But they dropped back down to 97.4's so I didn't. I got a box of opk's yesterday. Because I could feel a little action with the left ovary. So I got a positive yesterday, and this morning. I used Answer opks. Which aren't too bad. The bottom is from yesterday, top test is from this morning. Of course the bottom test looks very dry given you don't get a cap for Answer tests. So it dries out in no time. I guess I will ovulate either today or tomorrow. To answer your question about last cycle I am not sure if my LP was too short or if I did ovulate on CD12. Of course it's possible that I did. I totally messed up my CD12 temp last cycle. DH and I have been getting a FEW days of BD in. But with the stress of everything we hadn't really felt like dancing. We did yesterday before going to the hospital. And since we are here in the house alone this morning (at my mom's) I guess we can try again. BUUUUT he is snoring right now, so not sure if he wants me to wake him. Poor guy has been working and doing the hospital with me. And I feel guilty for even suggesting he wake to dance. We aren't expecting to get pregnant this cycle honestly. And won't be surprised if we don't. I am surprised that all of the stress we are under hasn't just stopped me from ovulating.

 

[L.E.]

I hope everything goes well with your grandma! I understand you not being on here. Well your O will be any time. I hope you catch the egg. You're still in the running even if you didn't BD this morning.

Today was my forecasted O day. I don't think that's going to happen. Just still waiting it out. I've had some random, really light spotting a few times this week... nothing major, but it doesn't exactly make me happy to see it. I think if I don't O soon, I'll need to start Provera again. I'll give it til I have bleeding or continual annoying spotting... Or till about CD70-75 (1st week of March). That way I know I probably won't have AF during my vacation at the beginning of April.

 

[L.E.]

So we didn't finish BD last night...and of course my temp is SUPER low this morning. I woke up an hour early due to my bladder (I've been drinking a ton of water lately). Yesterday's temp was 40 mins early, so they're not that far off time-wise. I'll be really bummed if we missed our window after 40+ days of this cycle. Going to try again tonight. Our last successful BD was 4 days ago.

Ok so I just made myself feel a little better. I searched charts for BD just on O day and 31% were pregnant. Gotta make it happen today in case it is O day.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

L.E. Your temp this morning looks like this could be it! I hope so and I hope that you guys got some dancing in. I think yesterday or today will be ovualtion for me. I am really thinking more along the lines of yesterday really. I felt the pains for the last couple days up until I fell asleep last night. None this morning. I just have a backache and I am feeling the sore boobs thing. I am so glad that I got opk's this time. If it weren't fo the opk's I wouldn't even bother to try this cycle. I don't know, belief that I will actually get peggers is...well, I think it almost impossible. I honestly do. Aren't I just a paty pooper?!

Grandmother pulled her tube out of her mouth yesterday, so she is restrained and on a bypass. Which is forcing oxygen into her lungs but not with a tube down her throat. I think maybe my little talk with her helped. Not to mention the many tears I cried while talking to her. I practically begged her not ot give up just yet and not to leave me here without her. I also reminded her that she is one of my two bestfriends. Next thing I know she is up and fighting tooth and nail. She and I are vey close and it isn't a lie that she is my bestfriend. So things are looking up. I thank you ladies fo all of the well wishes, they helped. If she forgot who loved her, she has been reminded of it, by seeing all of the family members too. I am going to clean up here at my mom's and go too see her later this evening.

 

[L.E.]

I hope your next couple temps are fabulous.

What is is about grandmas and stubbornness?! I can't say much because I'm just a little stubborn myself (though DH may say I'm more than a little stubborn lol). I hope she took what you said to heart and listens to her doctors and makes a full recovery.

Hey ladies..just a quick update. I am currently on new BCPs. She has given me a higher dosage BCP called Generess FE. They stopped the bleeding within2 days of taking them I've been doing pretty good with them so far. DH landed in Pensacola, FL on Friday. And I am going to go see him on Feb. 15th-19th. Im going to drive there by myself. So its going to be a mini road trip and a first for me. Our 7 yr anniversary is on the 18th so atleast we can spend it with each other. He will be in Pensacola for school for 3 months and then we will be moving to his permanent duty station Cant wait for that. Also, I dont know what cd i am on right now Hvent really been keeping track at all because i been pre occupied with everything else. I will be taking the new BCPs for 3 months and then im off of them. And once im off...its ttc time. So im excited. DH is ready and so I am. I just hope it works though.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz,
I hope the BC works for you! I'm glad the new dose stopped the bleeding. Your profile says you're in Sunrise, FL... so that's a 9 hour drive... That's quite a drive! Yay for trying in 3 months!!

 

[mzswizz]

Yes hoping I make it there in less than 9 hours though. Im just sooo excited and yes cant believe its time for ttc in 3 months

 

[L.E.]

Wow, Fngrs... Your temps are giving you a bit of a rough time again. I hope they go up tomorrow.

I don't know what to think with me. I had spotting yesterday, and it was a little more than I wanted to see and it was red. We did end up BDing last night anyway. It's kept up, though, and may be more of a light bleed. Not sure just yet since I woke up late so I had several hours worth. Only a few spots made it to my pad, but TMI, my toilet water was colored and there was a decent amount on the TP. So, we'll see. I did manage to temp on time today...or close to it lol. I was half asleep, though. I know at one point I fell asleep with my thermometers on top of me hehe and I had only done the Walgreens thermometer and not the regular one. Then I woke up and did the other one. I don't know what to think, though. Usually there is a .2-.4 difference between them and today there was only .05. I guess that's a good thing. I think if anything, my temp maybe should've showed a little lower on the BBT, but I obviously can't assume anything really. I was totally out of it.

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs- Yay for solid cross-hairs!

Not such good news for me. I had the spotting yesterday and then it stopped by evening. I even checked my cvx and there wasn't any bleeding. Nothing overnight or when I went to the bathroom at 8. Went back to sleep and woke up to bleeding. I'm surprised by it all because I'm not THAT far into a cycle for me. Last month, I O'd on CD40. I don't know if maybe my body geared up to O earlier in the cycle and didn't, so now it's doing the annovulatory bleeding or what. I'm a little baffled since I O'd last month and had a period on my own.Anyway, I guess I just have to wait it out and see what becomes of it. I'm NOT happy about it right now, though.

On a good note, I did my official weigh-in after week 1 on my "no bad carb, no sugar" diet and I'm down 7.2 lbs! Week 2 is usually a lot smaller loss than week 1, so it will be hard not to get discouraged this week. I also have 2 eating-out events this week where I have to avoid temptation and be good. Blah.

Well, I hope you ladies are having a good day!

Awe crud L.E. I see you have a new chart going. That so bites. I did get the solid crosshairs this morning, but I am still on the confused side. I did a Dollar Tree opk just because I had DH get a couple so I can test out for a negative. And Voila!!! Like Seriously?!?! What gives?!? The 3rd pic is my CD15 opk. There is no way that I didn't ovulate and am just now getting ready to.. I felt ovulation and haven't felt the ovulation pains again. So I know ovulation is over with. What does that opk mean? Or is that a negative?

 

[L.E.]

I changed my chart to spotting for now, but will change it back if I need to, but I am more spotting than bleeding now.

Your opk is either positive or reeeaaally close. I don't even know what to think of it. I'm prone to random dark OPKs, but I don't think you are. Strange. I say BD tonight if you can, just in case. You're definitely too early for it to pick up hcg.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Yea I got to reading up on it. It coul be a release of a 2nd egg. I hope that's what it is. I just don't gear up to ovulate and not ovulate. Doing that is not common for women who have no meical issue to gear up and not ovulate. I mean if I had PCOS then I could see that happening. But everything is normal with me. So maybe this could be LH from a secon egg or an idication of something happening in there that could be wonderful. yay
