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

[L.E.]

Well this thread is quiet today... My labs were negative, as expected and I'm going to be taking my 1st Provera pill after dinner. Woohoo for Provera... stinks that I'll have another period in a week, but I shouldn't have to worry about my bad bleeding for a while. Last time I went from Nov til April without bad bleeding and ovulated in Dec and Jan, so there's something to look forward to. I still plan on avoiding opks so I can drink a lot of water. When I'm not having bleeding issues we BD a lot more often, so I think there will always be a chance for conceiving if I do manage to ovulate. So I'm definitely still TTC but hoping to stress about it a little less and enjoy the summer. I've been TTC so long and using OPKs almost 2 yrs now, so it's time for an OPK break. Plus using the Provera I know I have a chance at Oing again in the next 2 months, so that makes me happy too.

I got my blood drawn around 2:30 pm so I knew not to expect any news today... maybe tomorrow. I'm fully expecting negative labs and to get my Rx filled. I used a Wondfo hpt as recently as today and it was bfn, so I'm sure I never O'd and am not preggers, not to mention the 8 day period + 3 days of spotting I just had. Of course I would be thrilled if I was, but I'm sure I'm not. I of course have this tiiiiny bit of hope in the back of my mind saying that weirder things have happened, but I'm trying to it lol. It's all FF's fault!! Even if I discard all the temps from June 4-13, it still keeps all the O info the same. I just don't understand it.

Shhhh don't tell my body, but I didn't have any spotting or bleeding today! WOW... so I knew it had been a while since I didn't have any, but I just checked my chart and it has been 47 days since I didn't have any spotting or bleeding noted on my chart. I had to go to the bathroom after I typed that to see if I jinxed myself lol. I'm not even going to say that out loud I'm so paranoid. I swear my uterus listens and if I say I haven't bled, it will start it up again.

Any news, ladies?

I think it may be possible that you ovulated this cycle. FF can't be that wrong. Don't you think just a little? Sorry about jinxing yourself. But once you get started with this Provera its going to go really well. Well my update is I am on CD1 and waiting to ovulate. She came first thing this morning!!! Was kinda happy to see her and glad that this didn't drag on any longer.

L.E. woohoo for the Provera after dinner!!! I have had this thread open all day. But it is pretty quiet. Not to worry though I am a blabber mouth and I am more than willing to chat it up!!!

I guess that is the true downside to Provera, the period in a week. Heck with all of the bleeding or spotting, there shouldn't be any blood left to have a period. I know that you are tired of the bleeding though. I woould most certainly pull my hair out if I had to deal with it. I am giggling because you are giving up your opk's and I am going to get some this cycle. I want TTC to be stress free too. I think I did really good this cycle. We tried, did succeed, but we are going on, and I am going on without pouting like a 3 year old. Although I can't say that I am not going to have one of those moments ever again. Hopefully July is going to bring me a wonderful birthday present!!!

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, you have seemed pretty relaxed! MsSwizz always seems relaxed and I feel like I'm saying SERIOUSLY?! at my body all the time. Sooo I'm just looking forward to another clean slate. I'm going to have to push back my pap test since they waited so long to call in my Rx so I'll be right in the middle of AF on the 29th. I'm aiming for mid-July for the test, so I'm going to try to call tomorrow and reschedule. Then I'll have the option of doing the SA and Clomid if I get AF on my own or do another round of Provera. I'm hoping maybe just maybe I'll O in July. That would be fabulous...then maybe a BFP or I'd get to start Clomid in August. If I happen to conceive in July, I'd likely have an April baby. We're hoping to go to Disney World this spring, but no plans are concrete and I would love to have to plan around a baby. That would be amazing!

Fngrs, sorry you didn't get a BFP again. I think that would be frustrating. I think it's soooo good that you have a regular cycle and ovulation. I dream of that, but I know we're both dreaming for our bfps and sticky beans. I think at some point I will stop actively TTC, but I can't fathom that at this point. DS is 5 1/2. Maybe in another 5 yrs I would find it impractical to be actively trying. It may come sooner than that, but for now it is an ever-present desire. Ok I'm blabbering.... time to get off here for a little.

Oooh and you're 2 weeks from O again... I'm jealous! Maybe I won't be too far behind you. Last time it was CD51 or so, but the second month was CD26ish, so hey maybe!

I can't help but be relaxed...With all of the bfn's there is nothing else I can do. DH came home yesterday after work, asked me if she came and about my temp. I told him that she was here. He seemed more disturbed and disappointed about it than me. I have never heard him mummer a word about a bfn. I think he was thinking that I was surely pregnant. But the lack of sleeping and vomiting was a tell-tale (spelling?) sign that I wasn't. Matter of fact I rearranged our room day before yesterday so that let me know that she was coming. I always have an urge to rearrange furniture when she is due. I start out with the intention of just cleaning, and mid cleaning it goes into and all out furniture moving session! Last June, I was exhausted and had headaches, and my prenatals were "DELICIOUS". I knew I was pregnant when I wanted to have more than one vitamin and I was holding it in my mouth for the taste.

I am hoping that we ovulate together this cycle. It would be nice for us to all gt our bfp's. I don't have a plan for once... Not one single conception plan. I think I have exhausted all my ideas on prior conception missions. So now I am going to opk, microscope, and dance. Guess we will see what happens. It's amazing that I am coming up on ovulation again. I am grateful I have a regular cycle. disney world....(sighs) I have always wanted to go, sad thing it isn't even about taking the kids to have fun. I love Mickey, Minnie, Princess Tiana, and Eeyore to death. I have so many Eeyore p.j.'s it isn't funny. I even have a robe to match.

I am sure you DS is going to love going. Plus they have some really good specials, so I hear.

I think you just may ovulate in July. Thank God for Provera. And I wish they would have just given you the clomid anyway. I hate the hoops and rings of fire some ladies have to go through to get Rx's. Dr's sometimes drag things on longer than they have to, well seems that way to me. I know there is a procedure that they have to follow, but seriously!!!

Hey ladies i have been checking off and on all day yay for getting your Rx and sorry af got you ill try to be on but im using my phone had to send my laptop in to get fited and Dh's pc is old and slow as dirt

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Cherry- Did she show yet?

Momma- where are you lady?

 

[L.E.]

I want to go while the characters are still something magical for DS. I went when I was 14 and had a great time, but it was for the rides. It's just something more special when they're little. It all depends on our income tax. As long as it is close to what it was this year then we should get to go. DS has been trying to save up (our money of course). I think we've pretty much talked my brother into going and bringing my niece. He says she's too young but he can always take her again in a few years if he wants to. My niece will have just turned 4 and DS will be 6. DH's mom wants to go and I had already told my mom she should go, so there may be a big group. I want to fly there, so everyone will have to fork out the money to do that. It is an 18 hour drive without stopping and I'd like to spend our first real vacation at our destination vs in the car for 2-4 days.

 

[L.E.]

Well that's better! I took away the fertile cm on my chart for May 29, 30, and 31 and it took my cross-hairs away. I'm definitely looking forward to a new cycle. This one is terrible to look at!

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, im cd44 and still no sign of AF. dh and I had an oopsie a few days ago and my temp went back up to 97.57 this morning. So got to see how the days progress in temps. Also I have some major news....my recruiter called and my ship date is now July!!!! So thats means DH and I will go through boot camp around the same time So everything is working out on our end. Nothing else to really report so far.

 

[staceyj83]

awww that is soo soon

 

[L.E.]

July is soooo soon, MsSwizz, but happy for you! That way you two can be together again sooner.

That would be a big group. Your niece may remember more than what your brother thinks she will. Well your DS has the right concept on saving. What better money to save than your parents money?! I completely understand not wanting to drive. That would be a waste of time, you guys getting there and actually being able to enjoy more time in the park instead of driving is logical. I know some people think that being in the car driving to their destination promotes quality time. But in all honesty, I think it makes for a stressful and exhausting situation. Younger children get antsy and who can blame them when they are sitting in one spot for soooo long? I wouldn't want to sit in the passenger seat that long, so I can only imagine DS#2. My other 2 are older so it wouldn't be as bad for them, but my little fella' would be a real DRAG. Not to mention 2-4 (roundtrip) is a lot of lost time. My Dh's friend took his daughter and told him you need days to be able to see everything.

I have to agree that your chart doesn't look so hot with all of the bleeding on it. But it looked awesome with the cross-hairs So that means +opk or not FF will use CM observations (if it doesn't have anything else) to determine ovulation. That is a good thing to know I guess having temps there also help too. But I wonder if it will determine it with no temps recorded just CM/CP????

congrats!!! I am sure you and DH are going to do VERY well. I bet you are super excited!!!

 

[L.E.]

I think it was a mix of the cm and temps... and the cm is what made FF hold on after my temps went lower. I had TCOYF set to just look at temps and they also gave me cross-hairs for the same day. I haven't updated that chart in a while... Going to do that and see if/when they take away ovulation... I'll let you know in a minute.

 

[L.E.]

Well I put all my temps in TCOYF and marked the sick days and it has me still as having O'd on 6/1 based off of temps. I put in the bleeding but not spotting so it started me a new cycle in May but not June even though there was 9 days of bleeding. I didn't mark spotting. It's crazy to see, but TCOYF also gave me the little "baby bird" 3 days ago!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

I wish that you could test and get a positive. I have never gotten the baby bird before. Maybe one day. I know you bloods came back negative, but it's still nice to see the little chick. I look at other peoples chart on there and think, why not me? I am sure they were thinking that same thing for a while before they got their +.

So it's definitely a new cycle for you. I wonder if it's going to restart with a new chart once you get another AF after Provera. How many days do you have left on it anyway? I know you just started but my memory seems to be shot when it comes to the questions I have asked about it before

 

[FngrsCrossed]

I guess the witch is going to be leaving me in a couple days. I hope so, I am tired of looking at her already. lol It would have been nice if I could have a 3 day period again. Maybe by tonight she will we out of here and I will just have to deal with her little pooch spot for a day. And just because I am saying that it may go the opposite direction.

Dh and I did a couple of miles of running yesterday. So I guess we will be at it again this evening. I thought I would have a hard time and would be out of shape. But it's like riding a bike, I had a easy time running and felt so good afterward. I used to run 5 miles at a time, then I got up to running from one side of town to the other and back. Going to work my way back up to that one. I used to run track in school and continued afterward because I loved running so much. I am hoping that it will help me get preggers. It definitely takes away the stress factor that comes with daily life.
