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

[L.E.]

You'll probably just have to be sure not to leave Alice and the new baby alone together.

Woohoo for tomorrow!! When you feel up to it, post a pic and quick update for us! I'll be sure pray tonight for your labor, delivery, and a healthy baby and mommy.

AFM, Sunday starts month 3 of my BCPs and then after that....no more BCPs!! My family keeps telling me that they think I would conceive not long after I stop taking BCPs which I hope is true. By the time I stop taking the pills..I should be with DH and we should be settled in our new place at his permanent duty station. He doesn't know where he would be stationed as of right now so we are just waiting. Next month, he graduates from his "A" school so Im excited. Ummm about ttc wise.. I don't know what cd I am on currently but I have been having on and off spotting so Im pretty sure AF is on her way soon enough. Which will mean my AF is regulated because AF will show the 4th week of the BCPs like it suppose to. So looks like I will be going back to a 28 day cycle...well fxed I am. So thats my update.

thank you i will update as soon as i can

MzSwizz... Glad your cycle is getting regulated with the birth control. I hope you do get regular and conceive afterwards. It never worked for me that way, but I'm sure it does for some people.

Nothing new around here. Having some fertile signs (cm/cp) but opks are still negative. But I consider it as a good thing that I'm not having a bunch of random dark opks, like I have had sometimes in the past... Of course I'm only on CD18, so I could still have a messed up cycle later, but so far so good. And with vacation coming up 2 weeks from tomorrow, I'm hoping O happens at least a week from now, so I can avoid AF during vacation.

I'm super-excited about vacation, though.

Congratulations, Stacey! It looks like DH was right on with 8 lbs. Can't wait to see pics and it sounds like you got your vaginal birth!

Well I just had my first Wondfo discrepancy... Sort of. Dipped 2 sticks and both are negative, so that's accurate, but one is a lot darker than the other. So I just squeezed out a little more lol and dipped 2 more to see, and I guess the lighter of the first 2 is more correct. Blah. I was hoping to have my surge and O soon, but I guess if I want to completely miss AF for vacation I need to be patient til at least Tuesday. After then, I'll be getting really antsy. Last time my spotting started at CD41, which was actually pretty early for my body to give up, I thought. CD41 will be Apr. 7, and is near the end of vacation. I really hope to O before then, but I'm not holding my breath. Here's a pic of the opks.

Oh and of course, FF predicts O for CD40 because when I O'd in December, that was CD40. The other 2 times were CD25 and 51 I think... and DS was somewhere around CD70 from what I figure, but he's my little miracle.

Nothing new here. My temp was really low this morning, but my opks are very light. Having a hard time getting a decent sample to work with, but tonight's was a little better than earlier and it was very negative.

 

[staceyj83]

i still say you will o on vaca because you will be having to much fun and enjoying your self to worry about it

 

[L.E.]

Thanks. I hope so and hope that we're not too tired to BD. I think we'll be fine, especially since DS still says he'll sleep with my MIL. We haven't had a bed to ourselves for more than 1 night in 6 years. I will miss having DS in our bed, though, as crazy as it sounds. I really like having him in there with us. I haven't decided yet if I'm taking my bbt and opks with me on vacation or not. I'm leaning towards not, but we'll see.

How are you adjusting to life with the new baby? Is he eating and sleeping well?

 

[staceyj83]

Pretty good the real test will be when dh goes back to work later this week he is a great sleeper i have to wake him up to eat he was only eatting 5 minutes at a time for about an hour yesterday he started eatting longer and last night he slept for 4 hours before getting up and he has put on 7oz already and i lost 17lbs im 3lbs under my starting pregnancy weight i can start my walking again next week we still havent let anyone over to see him dh is worried about him sick because of his body having to work harder when he was born to get his blood sugars up and to get them upso i said ok and let him have the say the one person i want to see cant because she is sick which is my mom she came down sick the weekend before i had him and still not better

 

[L.E.]

Oh wow that really stinks that your mom can't see him yet. I bet she hates it too. That's great to be lower than pre-pregnancy weight already. I know at my 6 week check up I was just 3 lbs heavier than before I got pregnant. That seems to be like a set weight for my body. I'm within a couple of lbs again and I just can't get under it, even though I still have a lot to lose.

Anyway, I'm glad you all are doing well. I hope your mom gets better soon so she can see him.

 

[staceyj83]

yea but she understands so hopefully she is be better soon here some pics yea i love it now to see if i can get more off and keep it off

 

[L.E.]

Cute pics... he looks like he's either putting on weight good or at least hasn't lost much. So glad everything's going well. What day does DH go back to work?
