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

[L.E.]

Ok so I did get the new Basal Thermometer tonight and an alarm clock that's now right next to my spot on the bed. My cvx is still high and soft and there's a good amount of cm which I think is watery... Here's the fun part... My opks went lighter around dinner time and still are. Here are the pics. My body just loves me.

PS- I do not think that was my surge. Weird, though.

The first pic is from at night on the 10th.

Zombie, update in the morning with pics of your tests!

L.E. Thats was a lot go through!! You guys must have both been frustrated. I know Dh and I would have been. But it is you guys have a shut off now on the water heater. We are all Electric. Although I must admit to liking a gas stove better. I think it cooks better. which may not be true, because heat is heat where a stove is concerned. I like that when you turn a burner down, it reduces the heat immediately. That electric stove of mine takes a little while to reduce it's heat, so I have to be really mindful of dinner. Just glad everything is all fixed now.

Well L.E. I am with you, that wasn't your surge. But now that you have the thermometer the ball should start rolling now and OV should be clearer. Did you get FF yet? I use that and TCOYF. TCOYF will round up or down on temps, and if you wake a little later or earlier it will adjust it. You can also set it to use temps only to calculate OV. Or you can use the FAM temps and cervical fluid. And it will let you use it in the order than you want it used. If you want opks to be the main source that determines your OV date it will use that. If you want fertility monitor, temps etc...You can put them in the order that you want them used and it will calculate OV and thermal shift using them in that order.

I like that if I wake a little earlier it will estimate what it would have been had I not "had to go pee" Usually around OV time and shortly after it I will start waking early. It's always something! There is always that reason to get up before time..Mostly it's a trip to the bathroom that can't wait. Sometimes its a sick child who has a tummy ache or virus at 4 or 5 a.m. So like I said I am using both. I use FF with the non-rounded/unadjusted temps and TCOYF with all the "adjusting perks" . Both are really good, FF lets vip members do a chart overlay and look at charts of other members for comparison. Plus FF will tell VIP member the odds of pregnancy with the BD timing. Right now my odds say high. VIP member also get to do the pregnancy signs estimator. And it will look at your signs and give points if the sign is mainly found on pregnant charts. I don't know if you knew any of that already, so overlook me if you do.

TCOYF doesn't have all of those features, but your chart will look uniform and clear because of the rounding up or down. They use the 100th degree to round it. Example take 97.44, 97.63, 97.21 the .44 turns into 97.5, then 97.7on the next, then 97.2. So it ends up balancing out with the round and being correct on OV somehow. I have been sitting here for cycles (3) now trying to figure out why the adjustments don't skew the Ovulation day!!! FF says don't adjust, it will calculate it and be correct. TCOYF sees no issue with doing it and it's still correct in the end, unless you have some weird fallback pattern like I did last cycle, but with the opks it won't skew it. Plus if you are sure you OV'ed on a certain day, you can override (FF does it too). TCOYF also can be set to calculate OV on a certain day and you can also do "But not before _____". Which is good because if you know that there is no way that you will be OV'ing after a certain CD then you won't get some crazy OV date.

I know this post is long... but you know me my full name is "Little Ms. Chatterbox", maybe you have seen me on TV back in the 80's or so. I am friends with Little Ms. Sunshine and Mr. Mean...

L.E. I left her a comment on her page letting her know we are looking for her. I think she uses the mobile app. She just doesn't know we want her to stay in here with us...I know I am not leaving til' we all get bfp's. You ladies are my friends and I love chatting with you all.


Ladiessss!!! Did you see my temp spike for this morning? Wow, I am at 97.74 today. This is the time I start check CP and CM (will do when I stop chattering). My chart doesn't have a lovely busy patter like I thought it would. I am thinking maybe by 5dpo or so I should see a little something more going on with it. I discarded my CD13 temp. Forgot I had wine with dinner on Easter. So I just took it out. It gives me CD15 for OV although it could be CD15 or CD16. Going to add it back in once I start testing. If I get a + on 10dpo and not 9dpo then I will add it in. If I get it on 9dpo them I will leave it like it is. I am thinking that it's correct. I did wake up on CD16 a little early. TCOYF give me CD15 for OV. I just need to go with that one hunh?

Anyhow Dh was impressed with my temp this morning..I looked at it said ok it's higher. Not like I have an implantation dip, that's when it gets interesting. We will see in a couple of days...

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, I do have an acct with FF, but just a regular one. I'll probably play around with temping time a little, but I did find a site with an adjuster (good to know that TCOYF does it so maybe I'll create one there eventually too) in case I change my times.

I think that I'm still pre-O. I know you can't tell anything by 1 temp, but mine was 96.72. That's definitely in the pre-O range, right? I mean, I should at least be in the 97's if I had O'd, shouldn't I? I know it's still early. It's weird because I've randomly been using my regular thermometer and it gives me more like 98, but I know it's not as sensitive. What I consider my "normal" daytime temp is 97.7, so I'm a little lower than normal to begin with I guess.

 

[L.E.]

Well that's a big temp spike... woohoo!!

 

[L.E.]

PS Since I won't put a real pic as my avatar...here's us on Easter and one from summer. I'll probably take them down by tonight because I'm paranoid... One google search and you get all this tmi about me haha. But yea, this is my little family. :wave:

 

[zombiefan83]

Hi guys, sorry I've been really busy. Got my partners 3 kids over from a previous marriage so we have 6 altogether this weekend lol. Ok quick update all tests are faint (barely there lines). Due to miscalulations I'm actually 12dpo today loads of clear white...snot like..discharge sorry tmi lol. Very soft and high cervix, sore boobs still. Vivid dreams...oh and bright yellow wee! Fx this will be it! I did take a pic but wasn't clear at all. Hopefully ill show you a strong positive soon Pleaseeeeeee god let this be it, hoping praying. Anyway hope you guys are all ok and ill check soon as chaos is over here lol xxxx

Congrats Zombie!

I figured you may have FF...But wasn't sure if you did the VIP thing. So many more features... I do agree with you about doing the TCOYF thing too. If you wake a little later it will round down. You can set it to round up according to your body...I use the standard .10...There is .20 and higher also.

Yea, that's definitely a Pre-O temp. Mine are like that Pre-O too. I sleep with A/C and a Fan...have been doing that since I was a child so there is no way I could possibly do anything different. If it get too hot I wake gasping for breath! It took my Dh a loooong time to get used to sleeping in North Pole...lol Years and years to be exact.

I used to wonder why my temps weren't like everyone else I knew charting. They start off in the 98's or high 97's. I have never had temps that high. Plus I have seen temps lower than ours L.E. on FF...94's and 95's!! So now I am feeling like my temps are normal...lol

You guys looks so good together!! You are a really cute couple!!! Your DS is a total cutie pie!!! Oh my wait until he gets older all of the girls are going to be crazy about him!!! It's nice to put a face with you screen name. You are a pretty lady!!! And I understand your paranoia, I thought about that too, someone I know just randomly popping up and then knowing everything about me TTC and all the issues I have had trying. So I just say oh well, it's none of their business and I don't owe and explanations to anyone that knows me. lol

You guys have your hands full no doubt!! We can't wait to take a look at them. We look like hpt addicts!! We were so wondering and I was stalking you today!!! Oh my that looks bad right?! It seems that hpt's and opk's are like some weird legal drug... And it's also our drug of choice!! Right L.E. and MsSwizz?! I can't wait to see your hpt's and start tweaking them!!! Even if the lines are faint, a line is a line!!

BTW ladies...my cervix went medium yesterday and now it's still squishy (plus it's almost disappeared, cant really reach it)...It's beyond soft..The only word I think of is squishy. It feels like a really fluffy cake...Bad example? Yea maybe, but we all have had really fluffy and soft cake at some point..they texture of that kinda' cake is how my cervix feels. You ladies will probably never eat cake again!!! Sorry for that...Plus my back is screaming..I woke up sat on the couch this morning and my back was killing me. Not to mention I did some gardening and re-potting today, even though my back was hurting so bad. I pretty much sat in a chair and re-potted. The bending that I did have to do, nearly killed me. I hope I make it tomorrow, I am doing an elevated vegetable garden, and the kids and I are planting strawberries in the strawberry garden. I hope I have enough Garden Soil.. :/ My back can't take another trip to the Garden center at Lowe's...

GOT MY HPT'S TODAY!!! MAIL CARRIER LEFT THEM IN THE SUN!!! And ON MY FRONT PATIO TABLE! I was sitting in the living room for this morning after I got the kids off for that package. Dh and I were going shopping and he is the one that noticed the box! I passed right by it. Thank God my neighborhood is a good one, because if someone wanted to they could have taken it. Both cars were parked outside, he just chose not to knock and hand it to me. Upset me..But what was really upsetting was the fact that i didn't get what I ordered!! I am going to post pics..I ordered the one on the first pic plus I ordered Wondfo's. The clinic here uses those pink handle tests. I love them...instead look what I got and you tell me what they are!!! Can we say 2 packs of Wondfo's?! Yes, Amazon thank you...I want 2 packs of Wondfo's! I opend one after I saw the same packaging to see if the test itself was diffrent and just came in the same package as Wondfo..Well it is a Wondfo and not a pink handle test!!! So now I have 75 Wondfo's!!

Thanks! I must agree that my DS is a handsome little man... and really smart, and sweet...but then again I'm biased lol.

 

[L.E.]

I'm sort of the opposite. I always have to have at least a sheet (and preferably a comforter on). I may have uncovered by morning this time so we'll see what my next temp is like. I was so out of it when I took the temp that I don't know if I was covered or not lol. I wake up over-heated quite a bit... comforter on, sometimes a pillow over my head, 3 of us in the bed haha.

I can see how that would be frustrating to have all those Wondfos... I could probably pee on all of them in a week though, especially if I was getting bfps! I'm running low on opks so I need to put an order in this weekend. I'm half tempted to buy a huge lot of them so I wouldn't have to keep ordering them.

Oh yes and peeing on sticks is like a drug habit. I just have to do it! I really had to talk myself out of buying hpts at Walmart last night. I know I probably didn't O, I don't feel pregnant at all, and yet I want to take pregnancy tests. It sounds crazy to the "outsiders" lol but it's perfectly normal for me!

 

[mzswizz]

Zombie-cant wait for an update from you soon

L.E. yes your DS is ADORABLE!! He looks like he is going to be a little ladies' man. And you two look sooo cute together.

Fngrs-Well when i discarded my temp and added the AF temps..it gave me the same cd24 as ov day. So i did o last cycle Thanks for helping. And now i just left the temp discarded and took off my af temps and it still says cd24 so thats good. And my chart look more normal.

AFM, today i am on cd9 and looks like AF is on her way out. Dont know why she lasted longer than 7 days. Im guessing its just one of those things that are unexplained. So today I have to work which is going to be hard because i am exhausted! DH and I didnt come home until 12am. So between that and all the bd we were doing, i am tired. Hopefully I can hold up long enough to make it to 5:45pm today at work. Hoping time just flies by. Also, dh and I found this great website that shows fertility foods for him and her. And dh wants us to go grocery shopping and buy foods that agree with the fertility list So no more junk food for us. We are really getting our bodies prepared for baby. We still want to go on a nice trip before a baby comes too. DH was already saying he wants to take a trip before I get pregnant because he wants us to be able to enjoy the vacation with no worries and he said knowing me i would complain about everything if im pregnant and we go on a trip Which isnt true...well i dont think it is Wow this has turned into a long message so im just going to stop typing before more things pop into my head

I just happened across this thread and saw this Those tests in the first pic are wondfo's, they have changed their handle. Wondfo's are really very good tests, and even more sensitive than FRER!! Good Luck!!

Well that's a big temp spike... woohoo!!

MzSwizz, Thanks! I'm glad Fngrs' tips worked because I really thought you O'd. Wow your DH is really on the TTC train! My DH is a picky eater so I don't think he'd do the diet. I really need to get my diet in check. I know I've put on since summer but I'm afraid to get on the scale lol...ignorance is bliss they say. I'm going to brave it here soon and try to lose. I was afraid to do anything drastic since I was finally o'ing, but now that I'm wacky again, it can't hurt.

 

[L.E.]

97.04 temp this morning. I have a feeling my chart is going to be weird and I'm only 2 days into temping again lol.
