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

[mzswizz]

soooo im hoping to get a smiley by this weekend...thats my goal

 

[L.E.]

While I love Wondfos in one aspect, sometimes I hate them!! Grrr. I think the darker one is the fluke since my test earlier today wasn't terribly dark. I know the darker one isn't positive, but it would at least show some progression. Guess we'll see what tomorrow's brings. I didn't spot again for 2 days and started spotting today. I was hoping for some good news in that department. No such 'luck'. Bleh.

 

[mzswizz]

well L.E. it looks like there is progression definitely. Hmm maybe you get better results in the evening.

 

[L.E.]

I don't know if I was clear... the last pic from 8:02 pm has 2 tests... both dipped in the same sample, but different results. I'd like to think the darker one was accurate, but I doubt it.

 

[mzswizz]

hmm they bottom two look similar in color. but i think i would go with the top one out of the two.

 

[L.E.]

I guess the test lines were pretty similar in color, but the controls weren't. One was quite a bit darker than the other. Strange. We'll see what happens. Maybe we can call get smilies this weekend (though I'm really not holding my breath for me). I know Fngrs is due to O pretty soon and would expect a positive over the weekend or early in the week. Your tests are getting darker, and we'll see about mine. I had some weird issues tonight that I've never really had so we'll see where that goes too.

PS- I had that stupid Estee Lauder ad.... how annoying!! I had to refresh the page to get it to go away!

I tested with a tesco one at same time as cbfm and then again at 2pm then this morning with just cbfm and the bar went up the side so deffo getting close gonna keep testing tho make sure I don miss it I looked thru an old ttc diary and saw I ov on day 16-18 in there and imnonly on day 13 x

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Ok so did a clear blue ov test using my fertility monitor and no line just control line and it hasn't budged up the gage thing at the side to say I'm even close.. But I did two tesco ones one this morning and one at about two Nd they are almost positive... :/ I need to know when I ovulate so I can have a biopsy done to test for high nk cells in the lining of my womb following 6 unexplained miscarraiges any advice wou,d be usefull xx

I take it you have been using your monitor for a while? If not it may take a few months (from my understanding) to "know" your cycles. Even though ovulation tests (testco) are almost positive, they are still considered negative, which matches up with your monitor really. CBFM tests for estrogen surges as well as LH, whereas stick ov tests only test for LH. So with your monitor not giving a high reading it only means that it hasn't detected a high surge of Estrogen and LH both. I have heard of women not getting peak readings in any given cycle. With all of this said, we'd need to know your average cycle length and LP and to see a pic of the tests to tell you how far off from OV you are.

EDIT: Just got to your 5 a.m. post. It's as I thought; you should at least be getting a high reading by now. You won't get peak until you arrive at you OV date. Good luck and

bump-do you temp at all? and did you test around the same time you tested with tesco?

fngrs-i know im too young for that dh and i both forget how old we are at times. sometimes i say im 19 and did you see my opk today looks like im getting close

I say I am 21 and holding...But honestly I feel my age. sometimes my everything hurts. DH gets leg and foot cramps during So he is his age too, if not older. Saaaaay 52 or so!!! Yep I saw your opk's they are looking good and getting darker, I was looking at your chart and trying to predict ovulation day...Needless to say I am still trying to figure it out. Came up with 5 days maybe? I might be so wrong as OV can go either way.

Ohhh that darker tests looks sooo good though! It looked like at least 2 days til' a real positive. (sighs) I hope you get a darker one today, that would mean that the darker one from yesterday was an LH surge on it's way up!!! I will be taking an opk at some point today, not going to get a smiley I don't think. I am only CD10. :/ oh well.

Spotting? ugh, what kind of sick game is the playing?! Can't she just go on some other thread and mess with those people?! Shame on me for wishing AF to others! But we need our bfp's more!!! (insert sinister laugh) (rubbing hands together)

Controls don't matter, ok well maybe they do. I just think that one had a lot more dye on the control side. Wondfo has been slipping lately smh I was going to get their OV tests, but thought, nah I don't even know if I will like them and to be stuck with 40 tests I hate..Well that's not smart. I really do hope we all get smiley's this weekend!! Oh the JOY!!! That Estee Lauder ad is a real pain!! It covers a huuuuge area! What was BnB thinking with that one? Oh yea, revenue!

OK, here we go. CD10 ladies...Got a pic of my microscope reading this morning! Well let me say I got the best pic possible for the camera I have. It's partial ferning and not full, but it's more than what I had before. So I am getting closer. Rethinking CD12 for ovulation, probably not going to be my ovulation day. :/ I wish it was though. So I guess I am going to take the wait and see approach.

I also explained the softcup process to DH.. he looked confused for the longest time. Then when I let him in on in the cup and not in the vagina, it then turned to disappointment. He then realized he was skipping the actual and it was going to be him and the softcup! But he agreed to it...(whispers: not that he has a choice in the matter) If the boss says cup! You cup buddy! Heck it's only going to be once or twice he has to do that. Sheesh, what's the disappointment about?!!?!!?

Anyhow, I am posting the pic... Btw those "bumps" on the slide are saliva cells. They look so weird and kinda gross. :S

 

[mzswizz]

afm, im cd28 temp: 97.43/opk: negative. my friend found out she's having a girl yesterday. also dh and i dtd this morning. nothing else to really update on.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, those opks are still looking good!

Fngrs, So when the "dots" all or almost-all turn to the "ferns", that means O is just around the corner, right?

Nothing too interesting for me just yet. I will say with the spotting, the last couple times I've had it, it only lasts part of the day. I think yesterdays was from about 1 a.m.-8 p.m. and nothing after that (even after BD). I haven't used an opk yet today, but I just tried checking my cvx and I don't think it's soft right now... but I know sometimes it will change later in the day. I've got that big bump/curve inside there today (wasn't there when I checked yesterday), so I don't know what that means either. So have either of you noticed a big bump/curve like that that comes and goes? I tried googling it and didn't really find anything like mine.

 

[mzswizz]

l.e. actually i never experienced that before. sorry i cant be much of a help.

proper update for me: well this is my proper update. this morning i was exhausted so couldn't process alot Well lst night was amazing. DH and I dtd and we added a little fun with food Well we pretty much played a game with whipped cream and we both enjoyed it. I wanted to add a little spice into dtd so it wont seem routined. Also, this morning my opk looked darker than the picture so we shall see what happens. I took pic hours later because i fell back asleep. DH is off work today and i get off at 6:15. And my friend named her daughter Mikayla. She is pretty excited and im happy for her. Only time will tell if she will get a playmate

 

[L.E.]

I think only my mom knows this (besides DH of course) but we have had the name picked out for a girl since right about the time we had DS (so 5 yrs). So don't either one of you use that name! lol. I'm so weird about saying our picked out names that I may delete this later lol. Our DS' name is , so maybe one day we'll have . If we ever have another boy, we're going to do some serious thinking as there is no boy name I have loved besides .

 

[mzswizz]

i have names picked out to. for a girl..ariel mariah and a boy...pierce elijah

 

[L.E.]

It's crazy how we have these baby names and essentially love these babies before we even conceive them! My mom doesn't really consider my chemical as a loss, but to me it wasn't as much about losing a baby after a few days as it was about losing a dream I've had for years. For about 3 days I was over the moon to have realized this dream and then had it ripped away. For someone else I guess it would be like working really hard, overtime, long hours, blood, sweat, and tears for a promotion and then you're fired after a couple days or weeks due to the economy (nothing you control). And not only did you lose the promotion you had, but you have to start the whole process all over again. I would think it would be especially so for people who went through IVF and then either get bfns or m/c. I'm babbling. I know you ladies know what I mean.

Anyway, I'm doing some major cleaning of our front entry (used mostly for storage) and getting things ready to put in my sister's garage sale this weekend.

L.E. you are so right with how that feels..I couldn't have said it better! That feeling of being so happy that your dream is no longer a dream and having it taken like that..Yes, yes, yes. However your mom feels its still a loss. And it hurts just as bad as if you were pregnant for months and months then lost it. It's no different. But it is beyond our control, yet it's so hard to accept sometimes. It would be easy to go into a fit about it, but seems that we aren't allowed to. I have some names myself. It took us ages to come up with names with Masyn, but the same list we had then what we are using in the future.

Oh and When the ferning dominates the slide then it means I am ovulating or already ovulated. The partial ferning with the bumps/dots means I am in my fertile period. Which is like saying you are about 3-4 days from ovulation (but I have had partial ferning for days now). So the fertile period is what, like 5 days before ovulation and the day of and day after. You won't see ferning until starting the day before ovulation, at best. I should have a + opk by then to confirm it. Hope I didn't confuse things by my explanation, but I am having a DAY here. Some little girl is picking on my daughter (3 doors down) and she called her the "B" word and was pushing her. So I am waiting for the girls mom to come home so I can speak with her. We don't use that kind of language in our home, and don't promote abuse. How awful is it that this child speaks that way! That language is learned from parents, point blank. My children don't use such words.There is a feud between about 5 or 6 girls around here, and my daughter has been dragged into the middle because she is friends with the one they don't like...(sighs) The crazy part is the parents are talking about each other also! Calling each other names (bad names)! I talked to one of the parents, and she was ON IT about the other parents. Called them quite a few things, and talked about the ones that are homemakers. God have mercy...smh I don't mingle with many neighbors, mostly the seniors..They are gardeners and I am also. Don't have much in common with my younger neighbors...Especially the ones degrading each other, and the racial slurs!!!! I have never heard the N word used so freely in my life!



MsSwzz you opk for today looks like you are almost there...about a few days away! You are probably coming up on ovulationg soon. I haven't even taken one today...lol I have drank myself silly all day, I am a walking cup of water, juice, and Dr. Pepper!!! kmsl I imagine my urine would be so dialuted. I used my pee cup earlier and could see straight to the bottom, so I poured it out and decided to test later. But I forgot about testing and now have a 44oz drink... Guess by evening I will see whats going on.

i have names picked out to. for a girl..ariel mariah and a boy...pierce elijah

My cousin-in-law's name is Ariel. It's a pretty name for a pretty girl. You and DH picked that name because you both must know that she is going to be a GORGEOUS!!! I love that name!

All of my children have a "y" in their name, my boys have "j" for their middle names. Tyler Joseph, Hailey Nicole, Bradyn Jeriah, and Masyn Josiah.

Our current names are: Girl: Raygen Nichelle, Ayva ???, Avery ???, Aubrey ???
