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

[mzswizz]

I want to wait until the bleeding stops. Fxed for you.

 

[L.E.]

I've been sitting down for a few mins again (had folded some laundry) and my temp is 99.2... so I think BBT is what matters. Hopefully your temp will be up in the morning. How long is you LP usually?

 

[mzswizz]

14 days

 

[L.E.]

Did it stop yet? Do you normally spot before AF? The only 2 I've had recently (including the chemical), and I spot about a day before. I was actually surprised I didn't spot more considering my history of bleeding.

 

[mzswizz]

no its not normal for me and its still going. i think its af

 

[L.E.]

I don't know much about charting, but if it was AF, wouldn't your temps stay under your cover line? Is it a flow now?
I had some more overnight and it actually was mostly red, but mixed with either cm or lining, and is mostly gone (brown). Considering there was about 6 hrs from when I went to bed til I went to the bathroom, it wasn't much at all. I don't know what's going on with me, but I'm used to my body being wacky.

 

[mzswizz]

Yes the temp suppose to be below coverline. Bleeding still here. Its more of an on and off thing. Its increased a little when i took my temp this morning but the thermometer wasnt bloody. I am going to order progesterone cream as soon as i get home. Im thinking its a progesterone issue with me. Sorry i havent been on. We are helping the MIL. The bleeding still didnt fill a pad yet.

 

[L.E.]

Could be a progesterone issue for you, but it's weird that it would happen out of the blue. I have some that I tried to use to regulate me forever ago. Well my spotting picked up some but I'm not sure what to call it yet. It's not making it to my liner but it's more than it was and it's red. I did a cvx check (because I HAD to know lol) and the blood was really dark red... not a ton, but not a tiny bit either. When I'm actually having AF there's no way I would check my cvx, so I have nothing to compare it to really, but my cvx didn't feel low or hard. I'm not so good with all that, but I think it was more med-height and soft. I never can tell open or closed so who knows.

If this is AF, I should know for sure by tomorrow. My AF gets very heavy about 2-3 days after spotting starts, though I only have 2 or 3 AFs to go by. Sigh... I guess the good thing would be that I likely did O if this is AF. I'm just hoping it's not my "bad" bleeding that goes on forever.

 

[mzswizz]

I am going to take progesterone cream after i ov, take prenatals and temp when bleeding stops. Af has showed.

 

[L.E.]

Sorry to hear AF came and early at that. I think she's here for me too because my spotting picked up to a bleed. My fear is that I didn't O and this is my annovulatory bleeding. I'm hopeful that it is just AF though. Maybe this month will be normal and give us our sticky beans.

 

[mzswizz]

i hope so fxed

Well my flow only lasted maybe an hour (was cooking dinner so I'm not sure exactly how long) then went back to spotting... But it's a red spotting, and more of a heavy spotting I guess... not making it to my pad at all though. We'll see what happens I suppose. Probably AF just having a slow start.

 

[mzswizz]

minuet-i think it will be better for me if i just go to the doctor and let them prescribe it for me.

l.e. sounds like my af. hoping its not for you though.

AFM, im going to wait until I get my next paycheck which is the 20th to schedule the doc appt. By the time i should be around ov time. And im going to tell the doc to prescribe me progesterone cream. But thats if she doesnt do it on her own. Also, im just waiting for af to turn into my normal af but it looks like its slowly getting there. Well actually its still light. Mostly comes when i wipe. So still waiting for it to be a proper flow. Its most likely a little heavier than spotting but i can still wear just a panty liner so i dont know whats going on.

Oh God ladies!!! I miss a day and a lot has happened.. I see it was AF for you MsSwizz..I looked at your chart. I am sorry. I hate that witch!! She is just evil. About the progesterone...you know I have my thoughts about it! They say it doesn't hurt to take it. But if you are going to get the suppositories and not the pills..And the cream is just a wasted of money and time. It takes alot for it to get into your bloodstream for the amount you really need to see results. If you can't get the suppositories then I have heard of women putting the pills into their vagina next to the cervix and letting them dissolve that way. With the pills only about 20% of the meds make it into your bloodstream. Which isn't much. The liver filters most of it. So pills..at your own risk.


L.E. have you tested yet? I hope it isn't AF for you too Something has got to give here! We HAVE to get a +!!! Seriously, it's saddening...how hard can making a baby be? Apparently pretty difficult from the looks of it!! (sigh)

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Well my chart is still looking good. Low temps, still pre-o I sure hope I OV'ed today though. I have been having OV pains and cramping on one side. So if not today then it's coming. :/ I wish it would hurry and we catch the egg and actually go on to have a HH9M's. All I ask for is a sticky bean, boy or girl, hmm or both...smh

today is kinda' crappy ladies...my cousin died yesterday evening. I am so disappointed. And before anyone could call to tell me I found out on FB! One of my other cousins posted it and my jaw dropped. My family had asked everyone apparently not to post it on FB so everyone could be told the correct way, some listened and some didn't..Therefore, I had to find out before I got a call...She was nonchalant about it like, oh you didn't know? No one called you? I'm thinking well you knew the rules. I called my mom and she gave me the run-down on the whole situation then another cousin called after seeing I didn't know and told me that everyone that did know was asked not to post it on FB..This is the 4th death in my family in 9 months (including my baby). It will get better, but I can't help but be sad, my family is closely knit...

Temps don't have to be under the cover-line for AF to come...if they are at your AF temps pre-o then that's all that matters. AF can start w/o it being under the cover-line. My cover-line is usually 97.18 my Af temps the first few days are 97.2 or so and when my temp goes into the 97.2 area there she goes, which is still above my cover-line. The thing is the temps have to stay in the higher range no matter what. If they drop too low then that means progesterone is coming to an end and Estrogen is moving in. Thats how I could predict my CP's



From FF:

Q&A Index > Temperature drop

My temperature has dropped, but I still don't have my period. Do I still have a chance to be pregnant?

If you see a low temperature around the time you would expect your period, your period is usually on the way. In most cases, you will see your period sometime that same day or the following day.

If it is not yet close to when you would expect your period, then it is still too early to tell. A single temperature during your cycle rarely carries much meaning on its own. You are looking for patterns and trends on your chart and to do this you need to look at several temperature points along with your other fertility signs.

Aren't we entertaining?! We are a little group of nuts I am so glad you decided to finally post. We are chat happy and welcome you to chat with us Acorns...lol I took a look at your chart ealier, looking good!! I see you use the microscope...I always wanted to try it. seems so much easier than opk's and figuring out lines. Haven't used one opk this month! GO ME! Cheking CP and CM for the most part. I'd say you look like you are close to OV...Looks like your body considered it on CD24 but decided to wait a little minute.
