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

[mzswizz]

Im hoping you get a bfp soon. I've always wanted like 4 kids. But right now, its still a challenge just for one. Hoping its a bfp for us soon.

 

[L.E.]

Yes. I'm very blessed to have my one and be a mother. I sure hope you get to experience that and in the near future. It's the best job in the world!

Well dh decided he will do a SA but he wants to just do Clomid and trigger shot one more time before trying the IUI procedure. At first, I was highly upset but now im just content and compromised. He wants to make it as natural as possible and he feels if im inseminated, then the doctor is doing his job for him. So i dont want him to feel less of a man so im just respecting his wishes.

 

[L.E.]

I can understand that and I think that's fair. I hope his SA is normal. When is he going to do that?

Well today is either 13 or 14 dpo if any. My temp is staying at the lower range, so if I O'd, I'm not too happy with my temps. They make me more doubtful if I even O'd at all. I had another BFN yesterday afternoon, so I'm pretty sure that if I did O, that I'm just waiting on AF. Poor DH. We haven't gotten any BD in for 2 weeks. We've been busy and have been tired and have gone to bed late. Once he comes up to bed, he's out, so there's no waiting for DS to fall asleep lol. I'm babysitting and tired, so I'd better get off of here. Hope you have a good day and that the SA goes well!

 

[L.E.]

Well either I'm getting an LH surge before AF, my hormones are wacky, or I never O'd and am getting ready to. My HPT is BFN, but my OPK is very definitely positive. Ugh!!

 

[mzswizz]

Wow, maybe youwere suppose to ov but it didnt work and now its gearing up to try again. Im really hoping you do ov because its been a long time coming.

AFM, im on cd10 today and my follicle scan is on Thursday. I was suppose to go in to get the IUI the following day but DH and I talked and he wants to try again naturally with just the trigger shot and timed intercourse before doing IUI. He is going in tomorrow to do a SA so he knows whats going on. At first, I was upset because I was like finally this might work for us the best way possible and now he is turning it down but after listening to his reasons, I compromised. One more time wouldnt hurt actually because it was just one time we tried it and it failed so who knows what would happen next time. Also, DH just want it to be special and as natural as possible. He feels that if its IUI, then the doctor is doing his job and it kind of makes him feel like he cant do it on his own and also he think that he wouldnt have that special attachment to the child because he would keep thinking how the child was created. Even though i told him at the end of the day, the child would be ours and no matter how the child was conceived, it wouldnt make him less of a man, I compromised with him and just said okay let's try. I rather us try again and he feels content and just be like okay you are right it didnt work now we can do the IUI than to have him really have no attachment or excitement if we get a bfp through the IUI he didnt want at the moment. So let's see what will happen this cycle.

AFM, im cd11 today and DH is off work. I have to do a few errands today and school work. I have also applied for jobs too. I want to work in an office environment. Im so tired of retail now. Also, I finally called my doc office to inform them that we want to try one more time the natural way before doing the IUI procedure and they said its fine its up to us to decide whatever we want to do. I have to call back though to see if she put the order in for the SA that my DH needs to do. Also, tomorrow is my follicle scan and if all goes well, then I will have my trigger shot the same day. Other than that, there isnt really much news. Oh and my birthday is in 10 days

 

[L.E.]

I remembered that our birthdays are close. Yours is the 28th and mine's the 30th. Maybe you'll get an early bfp for your birthday- or at least for New Year's. I'm hoping I can O by then lol. I have no idea what's up with my temps. Either I had a low-grade fever for a long time or I don't know what. I'm pretty sure now that I didn't O, since I'm 16 dpo with no sign of AF. I had a spot of red on 13 dpo and some pink-tinged cm when I checked, so I thought for sure AF was coming. My temps are low enough where a bfp would be very doubtful, especially after a bfn at 14 dpo. And then there's that positive opk from 14 dpo but no O yet. I guess it could happen tonight. I just checked and my cm seems fertile after being creamy yesterday, so I guess we'll see. BD definitely has to happen since it's been forever. I think DS may just have to stay with Grandma tonight.

Glad your doc is on board with whatever you want. It's nice when docs listen to you.

 

[mzswizz]

my mom bday is the same as yours.

AFM, im cd12 and my follicle scan went amazing. Pics are below. My follicles range from 20.2-23.6 As you can tell, i have multiple follicles this time so that increases our chances. My doc said they highly recommend doing the IUI and after speaking to DH and showing the u/s pics, he has agreed to do the iui So tomorrow, we will get the IUI. That's all for now.

 

[L.E.]

How exciting for you! Hopefully I won't be far behind, though I'm losing hope a little. This cycle has been soooo wacky.

 

[mzswizz]

Im hoping we can be bump buddies. Im hoping this cycle is actually successful. But we would just have to wait and see.

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, im cd14 today and i think i o'd yesterday. I was feeling very nauseous, irritated and had on and off mild cramping. Never felt this way before but i remember my friend was telling me thats how she felt when she ovulated and so i was thinking hmm maybe thats what im going through. DH and I dtd 3 times yesterday. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening. My temp went up but not really significant difference. My dh told me i felt hot this morning which im assuming is caused by the trigger shot. When dh comes home, im going to dtd again today to cover my bases. If i havent o'd yet, then i should ov no later than today. So we shall see. Just hoping this time it happens.

 

[L.E.]

I thought you were doing the IUI. Did you change your mind? Wow with all that BDing, I sure hope you catch that egg! Hopefully your temp jumps up more tomorrow.

I have no idea what to think of my chart. I temped a little later than usual (9 a.m. instead of 7 or 8), but still not way off.... While my temps haven't been super high, only 1 has been below cover line in the past 18 days. I thought maybe I was Oing last night due to some sharp stabs/pinches on my right side at 2 a.m. and my temp was low at that time. I seriously don't know what was up with the couple opks I took either. I've never had Dollar Tree ones go obviously darker than the control line except the 2 times I O'd. I need to make a quick trip out later so maybe I'll stop and get a couple opks to see how they look.

 

[mzswizz]

From the looks of it, it looks like you might have o'd last night like you said. And we were going to do the IUI but yesterday it snowed so the base was shutdown until further notice so we didnt get to do the IUI because the hospital was on the base. But we dtd on cd12 (day of the trigger shot) and yesterday at cd13. So we are going to dtd today and hopefully something happens for us.

 

[L.E.]

Well I know you two really wanted another month of BDing without the IUI, so I guess it worked out well. I got to the Dollar Tree just after they closed tonight, so I didn't get to buy any opks. I may stop on the way home from church tomorrow and pick a couple up to see what they look like. Tomorrow is the Christmas program at church so DS is reading a Bible verse and singing songs with the other kids and the ensemble is singing and I'll be playing piano for all of them plus the usual congregational hymns. We then have lunch afterwards and then an early afternoon service instead of evening service.... Then Monday is my side of the family's Christmas celebration at my sister's house and Tuesday we'll be driving from here (Toledo, OH) to Cincinnati for DH's side and we'll come home the next day, which is Christmas Day. So the next couple days will be fairly busy. Today I was pretty much non-stop with baking and laundry and some shopping from 1pm til 1 am. I'm beat and going to bed. I'll definitely be stalking your chart like always. I'll probably pop back on here tomorrow and Monday.

 

[mzswizz]

Sounds like you will have alot of fun this week. Enjoy!!

AFM, im cd15 today and instead of my temp increasing, my temp dropped. I dont know if i am o'ing today or what. I was suppose to ov no later than yesterday (36 hours). If my temp doesnt go up tomorrow, i will be calling the docs to let them know that i think i didnt ovulate so they can probably do a scan and check to see if i o'd or not already. But based on the temps, i havent o'd yet which is pretty nerve wrecking. Hoping something happens this cycle because it seems like this cycle is cometely out of whack and everything is getting messed up. So we shall see what tomorrow holds.

 

[mzswizz]

I went to the dollar store and bought opks and this is the result...definitely positive.

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, im on cd16 today. And today i had a massive temp spike from 97.45 to 98.06! Well dh and i didnt dtd last night and it had me freaking out. Until i researched that you actually get a temp rise after trigger shot around 2-4 days AFTER trigger. Its been 4 days after trigger and yep ended up getting my rise. Which means i am actually 2dpo today. Because it is saying that i suppose to ov no later than 24-48 hours on ovidrel. Well if thats true then cd14 is my ov day so technically, we didnt miss ov Im going to still call the nurse and ask her a few questions. Hopefully, she can put my mind at ease. Hoping to get a scan to confirm that the follicles ruptured also. But we shall see.

 

[L.E.]

Even if yesterday was O day, you BDed plenty before then, so missing 1 day shouldn't be a big deal. That is a huge temp spike...woohoo!! Now you're in the 2ww again. I'm still waiting to O. I still think I may try the Clomid route once we get our income taxes back. I had considered buying some online from another country, but that makes me nervous.

 

[mzswizz]

update: i called my doc and the nurse said that i shouldn't worry. By the follicle scan, it was great and they know that for sure i o'd within 36 hours. So now i am technically 2dpo Also, i asked if i need to go get a progesterone bloodwork done and she said not at all. They are not worried because of the follicles i had were amazing. So im feeling pretty good.
