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

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, your temps and OPKs have me scratching my head. I did think it was weird how you got a smiley and the line wasn't that dark. Was it the same way with the first positive? Our bodies just have to be difficult, don't they?

 

[L.E.]

Wow I really shouldn't have visited the Teen Pregnancy section. Several girls 15 and pregnant or 18 and pregnant with the 2nd... and one girl who is 17 with a 2 yr old and pregnant with triplets!

Me: 29 Married almost 10 yrs and can't even make a 2nd LO. I'm so thankful for DS, but man, how can they have such easy "Oops" babies and I can't even ovulate!

Ok rant over... Still don't feel better about it. Just one of those days. Remind me never to check that section again. If it wasn't private, I would have checked out the "Gender Disappointment" thread and probably have been even more agitated, so I guess it's good that it's private!

 

[L.E.]

I have this in a folder with other quotes that I like... Appropriate for today.... A little hug for me (and you ladies too)!

 

[L.E.]

I see you, Stacey!! Are the girls feeling any better? I bet it IS hard sending one girl to school and keeping one home. That is one reason I decided against fostering. The main reason is that I wouldn't want to give the kids back, and do that to DS over and over again, and the other reason is that I want to home school and raise a foster child just like I raise my own, I don't think that would go over well. I should probably look into that more.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Well at least my charts make for good comedy. The predictors never know what to do with me, so I'd better be busy in June!

Laughing my face off here!!! Yes you had better get the dancing started. ONLY FF can do something like that with a calendar!!! If you could have seen the look on my face when I saw that PRICELESS! <---That was me.

I never go in that section..Just for that reason alone! It's like I said earlier in this thread it's so hard to accept. You know how I feel already L.E. it's unbelievable when I think how we are married adults, with homes, and stability...with so much patience and even moreso...LOVE to give. I wish we could just get one sticky bean, heck 3 would be a bonus. How the heck did she manage triplets?? I need to have another one of those talks with my ovaries. Maybe if I say there is a teen on the thread that can ovulate 3 eggs, my ovaries may get jealous and try to outdo her ovaries....

You know I don't get the gender disappointment thing... Why can't someone just be happy for what they get and go on?? Especially if you have LTTTC. I will take anything, Boy, Girl it doesn't matter at all to us. I just want it to be full term and healthy. The only way any woman can understand how ridiculous it is to be disappointed is to lose a baby after she complained about it being the sex that it is. I wish that on no one, but I do think that is the only way they will get it. So I will never even bother to go in their thread. It's stupid to be sad about the sex of your baby not being what you wanted. They act as if they weren't aware that you don't get to pick the sex, and it's 50/50...

 

[FngrsCrossed]

MsSwizz, I am not sure what is going on with your temp. But you could use the rule of thumb and discard CD17 to see if you get cross hairs.

the older 2 are the poor baby came down with a cold so the last todays have been hard on her i dont mind it and school is almost over for the summer and im signing them up for girl scouts today

 

[mzswizz]

fngrs-Discard cd17 or cd15?

l.e. wow that was pretty funny for your chart. with the first positive opk, it was dark and this 2nd one was light so they were different. I dont know what to make of my body

AFM, its cd25 and my temp is at 97.52 so nothing really major. Just pretty much waiting for AF to come my way because it looks like it will be another anonovulatory cycle again, oh well. As far as the Navy goes, we will know when we are leaving for boot camp on Wednesday after we pass the physical and pick our jobs. So I am excited. As far as the new job goes, depending on when we are leaving to boot camp will determine if i take the job or not. I dont want to take the job and then leave that following month or so. If its soon then I will let another person get that opportunity. Today is payday I was thinking of going to the store to buy more opks but I dont know if I should. I'll figure it out. Now about the swimming test in the Navy, they said they will work with the people who arent good swimmers and also there are going to be Navy Seals and Navy Divers in the water with us while we are doing the test so just in case somebody goes under water or cant manage, the diver will hold them up to catch their breath and then release them or the Navy seal will do the same so im more relaxed about the swimming test now Also, our recruiter is going to give us the number to a lifeguard who use to be a Navy Seal so he can train us on the swimming and help us better ourselves so will be contacting him when we get his information. Hopefully, he can train us so we will pass with flying colors and the pool isnt olympic size...its actually a little bit bigger than an average size pool so im really happy about that. So everything is moving forward and im just ready to begin. Now i must admit, I wont be able to come on BnB for a few months while im in boot camp and job training, but once we get stationed and everything set up, then I will be back on Well that's it for me now.

 

[mzswizz]

Well, now i give up on the lines of the digi opks...this is the really confusing part. It looks like im going to get a positive opk soon judging from how dark this line is. Is it just me or is this line darker than my positive opk's line?

Today's opk



POS opk @ cd20

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, I don't even know what to think about your opks and temps. In all honesty, it looks like you haven't O'd yet. I did check out charts yesterday on TCOYF that were marked anovulatory by the software, but people ended up pregnant, so you never know.

 

[jpiper]

I've use opks my last few cycles and this cycle I had faint O line for almost 2 weeks. This is first for me - what do you think? My cycles are irregular and I'm getting really confused.

 

[L.E.]

jpiper, A faint line is perfectly normal. What were your last couple cycles like? Most people don't get dark lines til they're about ready to ovulate and will have some sort of line at all times during their cycle.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

jpiper The lines on the opk's will always be there. because we always have some sort of Lh (lutenizing hormone) in our body. If the test line isn't as dark as to control, or equal to the darkness then it isn't positive. If you are only testing once a day, it's possible that you could have missed your LH surge, which would give you your darkest test. The thing is to test at least twice a day with limited fluids, at the same time everyday until you get a positive opk. If you are charting then you may get the added benefit of seeing a ovulation dip, which will let you know that you are about to ovulate. Some women don't get this but a few of us do. I am one. GL on getting a + opk and

 

[FngrsCrossed]

MsSwizz I was thinking about CD17 being discarded, but your opk has me confused also. But I guess you can try discarding Cd17 to see what happens, and let me know of it gives you a CL or not if you decided to add it back on your chart. You opk looks similar to the CD20, it just the darkness is toward the top of the test instead of the bottom. But still it looks like you are going to get another smiley. (sigh) Why can't things be easier? L.E.'s cycle is acting wacky, your cycle is acting wacky, and I guess I should expect mine to be wacky in the near future. Wait and see, it's going to be a weird thermal shift for me again!! I am going to prepare myself for it already so I am not so upset about it when it happens. Things start off so good for us and then go weird every cycle!! I could just stomp around my house right now, but Dh would wonder if I have gone completely off of my rocker when he finds out why I am stomping around here. As if chatting it up with myself isn't bad enough, lets add "pouting all alone" to the mix. Then he will be trying to admit me to the psych ward to get some meds going, and HELLOOO SANITY... we can't have me sane no can we, I'd be no fun!!!

It's so going to suck when you go to boot camp. We won't be able to chat with you anymore. HOW SUCKY!! So I guess we better get our bfp's so that when you do log back on we will have something more interesting to tell you, besides we are waiting to ovulate! maybe by then we will be able to tell you the sex of our little bean! Not getting my hopes up on that one either. Getting pregnant is not easy!! :/

 

[FngrsCrossed]

You know ladies I am going good with waiting until the last minute to buy opk's I just haven't had to umph it takes to drive the "miles" to Walgreen's, which is even farther than Wal-Mart. Matter of fact the Wal-Mart that's closest doesn't even sale the digi's. I wonder why the are available online and not in the store. Seems silly to me. Plus I don't want to spend all that money on a whole new reader, which will be pointless. I think I have 3 now. Why would I want a 4th.

I keep staring at my chart and trying to figure out when I am going to ovulate. I hope it's sooner than later. I have had an increase in my mojo for the past couple of days. lol thinking the dance 2 days, skip 1 day might be effective. So that would be 8,9,11,12,14,15,17,18....should be covered like that. I think I'd mentioned the dance one skip one...but DH would be worthless and running from me after a little while. That Ginseng has been a good thing for him. He has more energy at work and hopefully it helps with sperm count. Not that he has a diagnosed issue of low sperm count. But hey why not just treat a condition that could be there? lol lol lol So he has the B12, Vitamin C, Ginseng and Multivitamin going. Wouldn't it be nice to get a bfp? He swallows those pills without complaint, and does the omg face if he forgets. If I forget I don't worry about it, he takes it as soon as he remembers. (?) he is better than me...

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, you crack me up! No please do not go sane! Normal is so boring and you'd never talk to us again if you went to the dark side!! I think your BD idea is pretty sure-fire. That sort of thing would work well for you since you're pretty sure when O will be. I don't have DH taking any vitamins. If I thought he had issues I would consider it, but I'm about 98% it's all me. Of course I'm not taking any vitamins either. As soon as I got my bfp in Feb, I started Prenatals but I really have no interest in taking them unless preggers. I take my son's gummy vitamins when I think about it. They're so much better than grown-up ones!!

Oh and for the past 2 or 3 days my OPKs have been light. Tonight I had a really good sample and expected the test to be at least a decent color, but it was very light for me. It really means nothing to me other than that I'm probably not Oing in the next few days, but I figured that anyway.

 

[mzswizz]

L.E.-im thinking i didnt ov yet neither. Im thinking i keep getting surges but nothing is happening. Hoping SOMETHING happens because I dont want to deal with another long bleed

Fngrs-Yes we can not have any of us go SANE that is soooo boring and soooo 1800s And i discarded cd17's temp but nothing changed. So im guessing i gear up but nothing happens. I will miss you guys in boot camp too! Hoping to come back to baby bumps and conception stories. And hey you never know...i might have one of my own to share

AFM, its cd26 today, my opk is negative and my temp is at 97.60. DH and I dtd last night so we ended the day with a bang I spent my day off running errands and spending time at my SIL's house talking to her and the kids. My nephew passed the ASVAB and he is on the same process we are on so thats good. Hopefully we all get shipped out at the same time. DH and I are thinking about having them put Japan as our guaranteed base when we are done with boot camp and job training. Either Japan or England. We are not sure yet. Today, I have to go into work and I get off at 6:15pm booo. I havent even gone in yet and im ready to come home Well, Sunday kicks off the busy week. Sunday, I have to take our pay stubs to our recruiter so he can finish processing our financial documents, then Monday i have to go to my niece's graduation. She is graduating from Kindergarten, then on Tuesday i have to go to my other niece's graduation. She is graduating from the 3rd grade and then that night we have to go to the Marriott hotel in Miami (paid by the Navy) so we can do the physical (all day event), pick a job and know when we are being shipped to Chicago which we will know on Wednesday. Phew all those events make me want to just Now, last night, I've noticed that I was just leaking creamy cm. When i say it was weird...it was weird. I mean I was just sitting there and next thing you know, I noticed white/creamy cm all over my thighs (sorry tmi). And every time I clean it off, it comes right back and more. Even dh says it looks like I just finished dtd..thats how much it was Well, we dtd afterwards so if it was anything close to me about to ov or already did...we just covered our bases. Well thats all for now I suppose.

 

[L.E.]

That IS weird, MzSwizz. I think just about nothing is TMI anymore!! If I can talk about clots, and Fngrs can show a pic of her cm, I think you're fine.

I'm still spotting, but my temp this morning was the highest it's ever been since I started temping, so I don't know what that's about. I did feel hot when I woke up, but I've had days when I felt hot and my temp was low, so who knows. I keep wondering if maybe I'll have LP like Fngrs' one from earlier this year where it kept going up and down til 4 dpo. I doubt it, though, especially because of the spotting. I'm likely still pre-O and have been since Feb. Blah. Hopefully I'll get ahold of my doc Monday and she'll be okay with Provera while I wait for my exam. I'm really ready for a fresh start again.

 

[mzswizz]

yes l.e. it was pretty weird and i think we are all waiting to ov. if only our bodies would cooperate.
