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

[FngrsCrossed]

L.E. see what happens if you discard CD9...let me know what happens on that one. That 97.49 or 97.5 looks really good on your chart. I don't want to comment too much about it because I don't want to jinx you. I can't wait to see what it is going to be tomorrow!

MsSwizz I can't believe we are all waiting to ovulate at the same this. This is unbelievable. Be our luck we will ovulate on the same day. I am so waiting to see what you temp is like tomorrow too.

Haven't been on here much today ladies, had an issue logging in, got disgusted and decided to just watch movies with Dh. So it is now 11p.m. and almost time for bed. What a way to get through a whole day. Wish the 2ww was this easy to get through. It's amazing how waiting to ovulate brings so many interesting activities for me. I have no trouble finding things to do while waiting; but during the LP I am struggling to find things to do. I think I should map my list out for the 2ww so I can be better prepared. Guess we will see what my temp does tomorrow too...I think I should get my opks already. Granted I have church in the morning, I might as well go and pick some up on the way home..it would be the rational idea. Other than that I won't know when I am ovulating.

 

[L.E.]

If I discard CD9 AND get a temp rise again tomorrow, then I get dotted cross-hairs for CD14.... OK so I just noticed that it showed the dotted cross-hairs with CD9 in there too. If my temp is over 97.0 tomorrow then I get my dotted cross-hairs with an almost 97.0 cover line. Of course that doesn't mean I actually O'd but still interesting. So my temp will plummet tomorrow LOL. Just how it works. Plus if I did O, I wouldn't still be spotting, right? And it picked up a little while ago for a few mins and seems to be calmed down, but still.

Oh now I won't be able to sleep tonight. I was already wondering because my temp is a little higher tonight than normal but that doesn't mean it will be that way in the morning. Last night when I went to sleep (1 or 2 a.m. I think) my temp was only 97.1ish and at 9 a.m. was 97.49. Sometimes it's the opposite so who knows. Just now though my temp was 98.1 and earlier it was 98.6, so I'm curious to see what it is in the morning.

Glad you're keeping busy. I went to a graduation party today. I saw an aunt and cousin of mine that I hadn't seen in about 14 yrs I guess. My cousin is a little slow (really he is, I'm not just saying that... I don't know exactly what he "is" but I think they just called him learning disabled.)... anyway, he knew my dad, but didn't know who I was (even though he hugged me anyway lol) and asked if I was his "significant other"! :say what: Really? Makes me laugh but do I seriously look old enough to be dating my own dad? Ewwww. He is 30 yrs older than me. Plus I had my 5 yr-old DS with me. Strange. I can laugh it off because he's not "all there" but wow. I was already feeling old having a 10 yr anniversary this year and turning 30 at the end of the year. Thanks, cousin!! Haha

 

[L.E.]

You added more hehe... Definitely get those OPKs unless you're being more relaxed this month. I know I would be going nuts (ok, nuttier) if I didn't POAS.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

L.E. what a good laugh this morning!! I can only imagine the Grossed-out awkwardness you felt. He must not remember your mom either.

I thought that you would get a line if CD9 was discarded. I tinkered last night and if I would have gotten a 97.2 then I would have ovulated CD8! That would have been all too nice. I am going to tinker this morning with my temp and see what happens.

OK tinkered with it: If I get 3 more temps in the 97.2 range then I ovulated today. lol That sounds so weird saying I ovulated today. Better get those opks, because it looks as though once I get a 97.2 or higher then I am in the LP. Temp this morning was 96.99 and TCOYF already gave me a CL of 97.2!! Ovulation must be on the way. Last cycle my CL was 97.4. I am so used to the 96.8 CL's, these seem higher, but oh well, works for me. Guess after church we skip out on going to my mother's house and just come straight home. Guess we dance today. Dh stayed up late last night, not sure if he is going to church this morning or not. I am though, and the kids.

It's surprising how I haven't had the urge to POAS at all this cycle. Usually I would have had opk's already, ready, already. (Boy what a phrase!) I say it all the time though. "I am Already-ready-already." lol lol lol lol and a number of other phrases that include that snippet! Dh understands it when i say it, poor guy. I feel so sorry for him having to deal with me for SO many years now! I ask God to have mercy on him and give him more patience, no one should have to be subjected to this kind of insanity! Plus the talking to myself... I am going to hug him later and tell him I understand. So off subject...Anyway the POAS urge is minimal. I guess this cycle is more like a hit or miss thing for me. I hope its a hit, but if not then hey!!! On to the next cycle!! I was lying in bed the other night thinking (talking to myself internally), I am getting used to not getting pregnant. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. I expect to not get pregnant so when it doesn't happen I am not surprised one bit. Talk about positive thinking hung?! Next month I will be 34, so don't you feel the least bit bad about you being 30. I have 4 extra years on you and my eggs are older But I guess it will be just fine either way. We are going to get oregnant...eventually. I mean seriously how long can a lady have unprotected sex and not get pregnant?! rhetorical question...obviously a long time, neither one of us are pregnant yet... :/

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. thats a funny and yet awkward situation We are just going to blame it on his disability and the face, he didnt know you

Fngrs-You know i feel the same way. You get use to not getting pregnant that if it doesnt happen, its not like it is a shock. I mean after 26 months of ttc after m/c for me, i was just like this cycle is a miss so wont get my hopes up. But at the same time, its still that little bit of hope in the back of my mind. And also it would be just our luck we all ov on the same day or around the same time.


AFM, its cd27 and my temp is 97.63. It is rising slowly but surely. And today starts the hectic week. I have an appt. with the recruiter at 2pm and then at 5pm, I have to go to my best friend's (the one who is pregnant) wedding dinner at 5pm today (yes she is now getting married ). So i will be busy later on today. I dont know what to make of my temps but im just going to continue it out until next AF. And then after that its bye bye to temping and the opks because on july 23rd, i have our appt so im not going to bother with temping etc. Im just going to let nature take its course between next af and july 23rd. Im going to do some cleaning around the house today because we have been sooo busy with work etc that the house work has been slipping our minds. So now got to get back to the house work. Well let's see how today plays out. Oh and I just noticed its 1 month, 2 weeks and 6 days before the doc appt where does time go? Lastly, i was tinkering with FF and if my temps go to 97.75 or higher, then i will get dotted crosshairs on cd19 and i will be listed as 7dpo

 

[L.E.]

I'll be on to actually read and comment more later... just wanted to say my temp was 97.45 and no dotted cross-hairs. Apparently my temp had to be between 97.0 and 97.44 to get them... Weird. BUT I was actually a little relieved to not see them since I bled overnight. It was a period-worthy bleed, so I'm sure O didn't happen. I'll spare you the details, but it definitely was a bleed and not spotting. Going back to sleep for a few til the alarm goes off to get up for church. Talk more later.

 

[mzswizz]

L.E. if the temp had to be between 97.0 and 97.44 and you got 97.45, i think you should've gotten crosshairs because it is .01 degree higher. But that is weird. Hopefully the bleeding will stop for you.

 

[L.E.]

Both you ladies sound so relaxed about it this cycle. I can't say I ever get used to seeing the bfns. I mean, I usually don't cry or get really depressed, but I'm let down every time. I was talking to my sister yesterday at the graduation party and she told me she miscarried several years ago when she was maybe 18 (had my nephew at 16). She was on depo and trying not to get pregnant so when she miscarried (she guesses around 12 weeks and she had only known a couple weeks) she wasn't sad about it at all... still isn't. That just confirms that I will probably never tell her about my chemical. My mom doesn't even understand so I know my sister would be clueless.

So with my chart, if I get any temp above 97.25 tomorrow, it will give me dotted cross-hairs for ovulation on Friday (CD15) and a CL at that 97.25... So I'm assuming that tomorrow's temp will be lower. I'm not putting much into that.

Ok so I just messed with it again... So on the 30th (CD13) I woke up 45 mins late and it gave me that higher temp. Well, if I adjust it to my temp at 45 mins earlier or even if I just don't put in a temp for that day, it makes O day for the 31st. I don't even know what to think. I'm just going to see what the next few days bring, though. I'm going to leave it without the temp for right now I guess. I still don't think I O'd but I'm going to start Progesterone cream for a few days and see what my temps do. I'm going to call Monday about Provera anyway, and maybe just wait a couple days to see what happens with my temps. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Sorry if this was choppy and crazy. I sat down 3 or 4 times to type.

Fngrs, do you think you'll get much of Full Ferning before O this time? I know you had several days last month. That's amazing that you got your CL already on TCOYF. They won't give me CL or cross-hairs no matter what I do with my temps, so I don't even know what to think about that.

MzSwizz, that sounds so freeing to not use OPKs and temp! I'm not ready to do that yet. I need to do both or I'm peeing on pregnancy sticks all the time! Speaking of which, my Wondfos I got in the mail almost 3 weeks ago still have plenty left, even my measly 20 hpts... I think I still have 17 of the hpts left. I'm so proud!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

L.E. even though you don't think you ovulated I like to look of cross hairs on your chart! Progesterone is tricky, if you haven't ovulated it can stop it from happening. so use with caution. I am happy about the coverline too. I think I may get full ferning. Not counting on that one either. I feel relaxed this cycle. It is no big deal. either i get pregnant or I don't. I am so used to the "I don't" that it is starting not to matter. I have my little plan for this cycle, trying to stick to it. If it falls through (like every other plan) then OH WELL. Still didn't get opks..smh Maybe tomorrow. And that's if I even feel like it then. Maybe I shouldn't even bother to opk this cycle. Save my money and by sundresses instead. Hmmm, that sounds way better than buying something to pee on! I don't know about you ladies but I am ready for night fall to come so I can just go to bed. Today has been quite a day, and sleeping doesn't sound half bad. lol

Wondering what tomorrows temp is going to be, ready to ovulate already. Well at least the dancing has been fun.

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, I think the sundress sounds like a fabulous idea. I bought me one the other day. It's rare for me to find something that makes me feel pretty (I'm a big girl), so I forked out the money for it. Sometimes just feeling pretty makes a big difference. You're almost certain to O in the next week and your temps will confirm it, so OPKs are just a bonus indicator, especially since you're using the microscope too.

I know the Progesterone Cream can interrupt ovulation, but if I didn't already O, then I'm not going to this "cycle". I think my doc will let me do Provera again while I wait on the Pap. So if my temps stray from an ovulatory pattern, I'll start the Provera. I don't trust my body to stop bleeding. I've been through this long enough to know how it works and I'm pretty certain I need the jumpstart. I've been bleeding and spotting now for just shy of 2 months now. If I do the Provera I should be completely done bleeding in 3 weeks or less from when I first start it. So at this point the Progesterone Cream isn't much of a threat. I'll then have to decide if I want to try the Soy again.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

I love sundresses L.E. I bought 3 last week, and would love to get 3 more. I hope I ovulate really soon. Maybe i am just exhausted with waiting already. I think the waiting would be worse if I were POAS from CD6 to now. The opks are a bonus, and I really should get some sort of opk, even if it isn't the digi (I don't want another stupid reader), Maybe Answer again? At least that will only cost me $19 and not the wonderful $40-something or so at Walgreens. Maybe I will try First Response again. Digi is the last resort.

Does Provera take that long to get kicked in? 3 weeks seems long, but with 2 months of spotting or bleeding it doesn't matter much hunh? Do you think the Soy did anything constructive? If you did ovulate (which is hypothetical) then I guess it did. But is it possible it can give the illusion of ovulation and do nothing? If so that sucks...I wonder if it has to be used a few cycles before results are noticed... I won't be trying it then. Too scared now. :/ Not that I even need it. I think I am just bored and willing to try new things. Have you tried Cinnamon yet...I read that it helps metabolize sugar. maybe it can help the other meds that you are taking to help with that. Just food for thought there.

 

[L.E.]

I haven't tried Cinnamon or even really read about it yet. I'm trying to do one thing at a time so that if something works, I know what it was and can keep doing it.

Yea those smileys are so expensive! I would cringe even buying OPKs from the Dollar Store because they're 5x more expensive than Wondfos. I actually still have 3 or 4 of the smilies left because my Wondfos never went positive. Of course I didn't get to test carefully last weekend, but still I never saw a positive. Saturday was surprisingly dark but I only tested once.

I'm not sure what I think about the Soy yet. Since you're regular, I wouldn't mess with the Soy.

I keep saying I'm going to be more active because I've just been so lazy since winter, so I'm really going to try. DS and I made a list of things we want to do this summer. I figured it would help us stay active and busy, and have fun! Once it stays over 80 consistently I'll put up our little pool and we'll be in that a lot once the water gets warm. DS loves it and so do I.

 

[mommapowers32]

Hey ladies I ran across your threat and you all are so nice to each other =) I made it to page 17 but Im ready to out! lol Goooud Lcck (btw with my DS I got bfp opk at 10 dpo super , bfp hpt but it was fainy he will be in 2 weeks)

 

[L.E.]

Hi mommapowers! No one would expect you to read all 115 pages. Welcome. Stay and chat if you want. The part in parenthesis is a little unclear to me. Could you rephrase? Thanks!!

 

[mommapowers32]

Haha stupid phone my son will be 2 and less than two weeks. Thanks I tired reading all of it I was enjoying my self lol then I git super sleepy. Thank you for welcoming me I should be testing at 10 dpo 6/14 but I'm sure I will at 6 dpo lol I got some cheapies to vein thru lol.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

L.E. I understand what you mean on trying one thing. But you know I am kind of a jumper each cycle. I see to try something new each cycle..BUT since you are going to get your sticky this cycle, you won't get a chance to try the cinnamon!!

MamaPpowers- HELLOOO!!! Welcome!!! Glad you decided to chat with us. I agree with L.E. those are a lot of pages to read (115), we are beyond being "chat happy BnB members" Thank you for the compliment, being supportive to each other is important.


Stacey- Where are you girlfriend?! Hope you are doing good!!

MsSwizz- Time for you and DH to come on back home so we can get an update on how things went.

 

[mommapowers32]

Fngrs-how are you?

AFM, its cd28 and my temp is 97.43. Really dont know whats going on but not worrying about it. I had a wonderful time last night. DH and I went to my friend's wedding dinner and it was nice and fun and the food was great. Her belly is getting bigger and she was telling me how she kicks hard now She even asked DH when is her daughter getting her playmate and she is expecting it to happen soon because they have to be in the same age group. You should've seen DH's face when she told him that I always told him she said that but I guess he thought I was making it up Well, today I have to work later on and I just came back from my niece's award ceremony. Will post pics below. If no conception this month, then we will go into WTT until we are back together and will be able to dtd which I believe will be alot after being away from each for months Well this is day 2 of the hectic week and Im taking it pretty well. Im a little tired but I can still manage. Also, I keep getting this darn runny/creamy cm And its LOADS. I even told DH to remind me to check myself because I was so wet down there that I thought AF had decided to come early than expected. But when I did, it was only that cm Weird....i know. Oh well. Its all a wait and see game.

 

[staceyj83]
