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

[L.E.]

Wow...way to go on the running! I've never been a runner, but I've always wanted to, just never put in the effort. Plus if you're already a bigger person, it makes it harder to begin with anyway. I enjoyed walking the trails at our park, but didn't do it this year, so now I'm just going to get out more and enjoy our little pool. It's little but I can still get a bit of a workout in it lol.

Well I'm on 5 days of Provera and took my 3rd pill... so 2 more days and hopefully AF will show 3 or 4 days afterwards. It did last time, so we'll see. Even if the charts don't make a new cycle out of it, I will because I know legitimately it will be a new cycle. Seeing the baby bird was so weird. I thought they only did that when you noted a positive pregnancy test, but I guess when you have 18 temps after O... I don't even know. Pure craziness for sure!! haha

Nice run im to lazy for that but i love walking and bike riding FIL got in ti town and the baby for the first time to I sooooooo wanna poas must be good lmao

Morning Ladies!!! Think I am going back to bed for a couple of hours this morning, but just wanted to say I took my first vaginal temp!!! yay!!! It was 97.97, which seems so high to me. I also took my temp orally 97.38. Not sure if I should do vaginal or oral really. I temped orally during AF (which I can discard if i do vaginal). I am wondering this though if anyone can answer me on this it would be great. Question: If I should do my typical wake up at 4 a.m. around ovulation, would a vaginal temp be more accurate (despite the time) than an oral temp? I ask because I am sure I won't get a really low vaginal temp like I do orally, and I always seem to wake up early around ovulation which messes my chart up. I know I can't mix oral and vaginal temps, it's either one or the other, but depending on the answer to my question I am going to make a decision on how I temp. The difficult thing is hearing it beep under the covers while you are temping felt like I waited ages for the beeps...


L.E. not many days left on the Provera And then OVULATION sister!!!! I think this is it!! Provera and then ovulation for you!!! I am getting excited!!!
I did enjoy the running a little too much. Going it alone today, Dh is working this weekend, so I am going to have to go it alone later this morning. I really should go now. I guess I got my wish, she left last night!!! I don't think I am even spotting though.


Stacey- I am with you on the POAS! It's almost time to start peeing. Well for you it is, I have a little bit longer left. I know your FIL was so happy to see the little lady of the house.

 

[staceyj83]

My temps seem to be around the same when temping vag if i get up early but by mouth there is a big diff in temp if i get up early or later then normal im doing vag i did poas last night and it was pretty dark for being cd 9 has me thinking i might o early this cycle which is ok by me just mean ill get to start trying sooner oh yes FIL is in love him and DH didnt think DH would ever have kids of his own they are both really good to my oldest but i know there is a big diff in being a step dad and a dad heck at times i still cant believe i have a 2nd beautiful baby to love i still feel im going to wake up one day and it will all have been a dream and she will be gone

Thought I was going back to bed to sleep in...(sighs) my dad called this morning to come and take a look/fix my truck. I have been having problems with it all week. So hopefully he got it fixed.

Well I guess it's settled then. I am going to do vaginal temping then. I can't afford to have a weird looking chart again this cycle. It never fails that I wake up early on ovulation day and the day after. So my thermal shift ends up looking completely nuts.

If it's pretty dark then it's likely that you are going to ovulate early. I wouldn't be surprised if you get preggers this month Stacey! It's said that you get pregnant quicker after a recent birth. So I am hoping that will end up being the case with you. I am still so glad that you are on the TTC wagon with us.

It's hard not to think you are dreaming when you have been TTC for so long and you finally catch your little star in a net. I think if more mothers were in awe of their little miracle, then people wouldn't have the heart to destroy or allow someone else to hurt their baby. I guess it's all so simple when you can pop babies out one after the other without any issues; not appreciating the miracle of life comes easy then.

L.E. and I need a rainbow baby, and you and momma need another little star. Where is momma BTW?

 

[L.E.]

Just popping on quickly after inputting my temp. I shut my alarm off and woke up 40 mins later, so that's why I have an open circle. My temp should be accurate though I did wake up hot with blankets on but I only had them on for those 40 mins and made sure not to cover all the way up. I don't think it matters that much though. I've woken up hot with blankets on thinking my temp would but way up and it was really low.

Fngrs, I have no input on the temping really. I think as long as you stick with the same way everyday you'll be fine. It's interesting how the vaginal temp is so much higher. I don't know where Momma is. She's been mia for a while. Momma, where are you???? I'm glad your dad is fixing your truck for you. It's nice to have handy people around, especially when they're willing to help.

Stacey, I can just imagine what it's like, feeling like it's not real. We were married 4 yrs before DS was born and had been NTNP for 2 yrs and it was the best feeling ever seeing our little boy! I thank God every day for our little miracle. We've been waiting on another for 5 yrs (really ready for the last 3.5 yrs) so I know it will feel like that if/when we get another.

Fngrs, I agree that people who have waited for their babies cherish them so much more than those who don't. I think about my cousin who has an "oops" baby and one she got on the first try, and I know she loves them, but I don't think someone like that has the same appreciation for it.

Ok back to bed for me. We stayed up til 4 a.m.

Oh and a quick question: Do you think that the Provera increased my temp? I would've thought it would go up the first morning after if it was going to go up. Some people say it increases BBT and some people say it doesn't. Some people say it spiked after the first dose then settled down. Thurs. the 21st was the 1st morning after Provera.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

L.E. I think it may be possible that it did. But it's not a significant spike until this morning. But if you woke up hot then that could be partly the reason. I think if this is a new cycle, then you may just be having a normal spike in temps as the hormones go to work. My oral temp was 97.38 which is higher than my 2 previous ones. Sometimes I get a spike then a gradual drop in temps until ovulation. So that may be what's going on with you. I see that the bleeding has stopped also. AWESOME!!! Thank you Provera, now the ball can get rolling since AF has no respect and neither does her little dog spot!!! someone had to kick her out and who better than Mrs. Provera!!! Mrs. Provera (she must be latino with that lovely last name) you are the best!!!!

You guys were up pretty late. My Dh can't hang anymore, he is turning into a "older gentleman" on me!! He closed his eyes last night at 9:30 if I didn't know better I would think that I got him pregnant or something! If I could only do that one!!! He would be so pregnant all of the time!

 

[mzswizz]

well i see alot of you got AFs...unfortunately, she still isnt here for me.

AFM, im cd46 today and i had a temp spike to 97.76. If my temp continues to stay in the 97.7s, then FF will have my ov day as yesterday which is a good and a bad thing because dh and I had another oopsie last night. Hoping we didnt catch the egg but i doubt it because we dtd almost at midnight so i think we missed the chance...well thats what im hoping. Now about the Navy....my new ship date is july 23rd so i will see dh during boot camp. And today is my last day at the library My job has also changed with the Navy...now i will be in the aviation field So now just awaiting the boot camp date. Its funny how my ship date is my doc appt date Well atleast I get to see dh hopefully on our 3 yr anniversary date during boot camp. Now i have to see what my temps do in the following 2 days.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, are you still keeping your appt with the doc? What happens if your 2 "oops" moments made a baby? I mean, how would you feel about that now? I can't imagine going from TTC too TTA. The whole idea seems so weird to me after NTNP/TTC for the last 8 yrs (of course with a pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding in there).

Fngrs, what makes me wonder if it was Provera or not was the fact that my temp was almost that high on the 19th before the Provera and then the 1st 2 days on Provera was basically the same temp as the day before. I suppose it doesn't matter. I wasn't temping last time I took it, so this is a new one for me. I think when I was taking the Provera last time I didn't fill in my calendar, but if I remember correctly, I still spotted and maybe even had on and off bleeding still. I have nothing on my calendar those days except that I took Provera. I guess I thought any symptoms or bleeding didn't matter at that point.... So I'm not sure, but I really think Provera didn't completely stop the blood last time. I'll just assume the temps and stopping spotting are from the Provera and we'll see if it stays away til the witch shows in roughly 5 days. That would be fabulous. I told DH I want to take a FRER just for my sanity. So maybe I'll get that this weekend so I can take it Sunday (last pill) or Monday. I don't feel pregnant really and with all the bleeding and my temps, I don't see how I could, but my charts think I am, so it's worth testing again before I allow the withdraw bleed (AF). After a negative blood test and negative Wondfos, chances are slim to none, but I need that FRER to confirm it before I stop. I haven't taken a FRER in forever. It's been nice!

 

[staceyj83]

It would be nice but this month is ntnp next cycle is ttc i really dont think it well be that soon for us with not having a tube on the left side and i dont get o pains so i never know what side im oing from but even if it takes us 1 cycle or 20 again or longer i know the wait will be worth it

 

[L.E.]

We took DS to see Madagascar 3 and then picked up my FRERs at Target. BFN as expected so that's a bit of a relief. Dear charts, you're crazy! lol I am sooo tired though and I shouldn't be. I went back to bed for a couple hrs this morning so I should be fine, but I'm prone to being tired anyway. I should've been taking iron with all the spotting and bleeding too since I'm usually anemic because of it. Maybe I'll be good and start at least taking my multi-vitamin again.

 

[L.E.]

I changed my chart to start a new cycle with my last set of AF-like bleeding. When AF comes again in a few days, I'll probably put this one back like it was and start the new cycle with this Provera AF. I still can't shake the feeling that I may have O'd on Provera. If my temps stay up, I'll get dotted cross-hairs for O this past Friday the 22nd. It could very well be the Provera making my temp rise, but I thought it would've started right away. I'll just see what the temps do and if AF comes in the next week. I just thought I'd let you know about the new chart. FF didn't do it, I did.

It's just weird because Thursday night at bedtime and all day Friday I was having weird crampy feelings and I figured it was just from the Provera doing something to me. I didn't even want to put it on my chart because I figured it meant nothing, but I put it on there anyway, and just now realized that was Friday. So anyway, interesting, but doesn't necessarily mean anything of course. And my opks have been dark. I don't have any kept from the 20th or 21st of course. I don't think I took any those days even. I don't remember lol. I figure if I O'd, hopefully my own Progesterone will be enough to keep the bleeding at bay, and if I didn't O, I'll have AF. At this point, there's not much I can do unless I ask to be on for another 5 days. So I don't know what I'd do. I guess I'll just see what my temp is like tomorrow and Monday and go from there. Going to bed finally. Goodnight!!

L.E. You took that first question for MsSwizz right out of my mouth. I was going to ask the same thing. Because it would be something to be pregnant with an oops baby a this point.

So I when I was looking at your chart yesterday, that's what I was thinking since it wasn't that much of a spike. Maybe some women notice a huge spike while they are on Provera I feel you on taking the FRER for your sanity. This cycle has been kinda' a weird one with those lovely temps of yours. And they have stayed high for a while now. Maybe I am having a wishful thinking moment with you here, but it would be awesome to "hypothetically" have taken the blood test too early, let's sayyyy the test was the day of implantation, so you got a negative; when actually you could be pregnant. I know far fetched!!! :rofl; But hey, weirder things have happened right?!?! So the FRER is a good idea. I don't care if I am sounding a little nuts here. lol lol lol lol


EDIT: Ok so scratch a lot of what I said...lol I just got to your last posts. Darn FRER!!! But here is to hoping that you did ovulate on Provera!!! I just think that since your temps are around the same and not all irrationally high, it's possible you did ovulate Friday, on Provera, and you are in the LP. Heck if FF is giving you crosshairs then that says something! What is TCOYF saying? So far you got 2 over 6, and I am willing to be that you get the third tomorrow.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

It would be nice but this month is ntnp next cycle is ttc i really dont think it well be that soon for us with not having a tube on the left side and i dont get o pains so i never know what side im oing from but even if it takes us 1 cycle or 20 again or longer i know the wait will be worth it

I always get ovulation pain every cycle...I want to say be glad that you don't get them, but they are a heads up. Sometimes they are quite painful, those are the ones that I can do without. I have a friend who is a one tuber, had been trying to get her on this site, but...oh well.

I understand what you mean, the wait is definitely worth it!!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

well i see alot of you got AFs...unfortunately, she still isnt here for me.

AFM, im cd46 today and i had a temp spike to 97.76. If my temp continues to stay in the 97.7s, then FF will have my ov day as yesterday which is a good and a bad thing because dh and I had another oopsie last night. Hoping we didnt catch the egg but i doubt it because we dtd almost at midnight so i think we missed the chance...well thats what im hoping. Now about the Navy....my new ship date is july 23rd so i will see dh during boot camp. And today is my last day at the library My job has also changed with the Navy...now i will be in the aviation field So now just awaiting the boot camp date. Its funny how my ship date is my doc appt date Well atleast I get to see dh hopefully on our 3 yr anniversary date during boot camp. Now i have to see what my temps do in the following 2 days.

You either ovulated CD43 with a fall back rise or CD45. Good luck at not catching the egg.

 

[staceyj83]

Tell her she should finding ladies on here to talk to helped me a lot in not feeling so alone with ttc and with Dh not understand how i was feeling it was nice at the he was thinking it was him till we had a SA and saw that his little guys are great LE im not sure i dont much about that med and how it works msswizz Im the kind of person who believes everything happens for a reason and if it were to happen now then there must be a reason to GL in whatever happen do you plan on keeping your doctor app.? Oh even a little pull from the side i was going to O from would be nice little ok we have hope this im having pain on my right or oh no pain is on the left side no hope this month lol i know im nuts

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, have you taken any more hpts? Your temps are unusually high and AF was 3 days and not heavy according to your chart.

 

[mzswizz]

l.e. & fngrs-to answer the what if i concieve question, I mean i would most definately be shocked but will welcome baby with open arms. I would just have to start all over from the beginning of the Navy process eventually though. And as far as the doc appt, im going to try and schedule it earlier before dh and I leave so we can get our answers and know what we are working with before we start ttc all over again once we are stationed.

fngrs-i tinkered with my temp for tomorrow as if its 97.3 or higher, than ff would have me at 3dpo tomorrow and i o'd on cd45.

AFM, well this is a surprise. My temp did a spike from 97.74 to 97.94 Thats the highest my temp has been so far. Also tomorrow's temp could be as low as 97.3 and I would get my crosshairs. Well, this was a VERY delayed ov cycle. Just keeping my fxed that we didnt catch that egg this time. Just want to wait until we are stationed to go back to ttc and dont want to get discharged and have to wait to start the Navy process from the beginning all over again. DH and I dtd protected this time. We really arent trying to have another oopsie moment and we even put the condoms on the nightstand Well, right now dh and I are just spending time together and we are cleaning up and packing so we will have everything in order before we leave We are also having a friend stay with us starting tomorrow until DH leaves for boot camp and we are helping him with the Navy process because he wants to join also So everything is going good on my end. And i start my new job tomorrow

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Fngrs, have you taken any more hpts? Your temps are unusually high and AF was 3 days and not heavy according to your chart.

No ma'am I haven't taken anymore hpt's..I was happy not to have heavy bleeding this cycle. despite the Progesterone. Temps are high because I started out doing oral temps and switched to vaginal after AF. So I am going to do vaginal temping this cycle. my last temp orally was 97.38, I also took a vaginal temp that morning and it was 97.97. Don't think I am preggers though. :/ wish I was... although a hpt doesn't sound bad...lol darn-it L.E. here I go

I have told her that she could find some amazing women to talk to on here. But I think she is just fine talking to only me. She is sooo personal. I can understand her struggle, but I don't know how it feels to be a one tuber and TTC. She lost her tube because of a ectopic twin pregnancy. She has also lost a set of twins...Losing a child I can understand, unfortunately. Her babies lived 3 days my son lived 8. I am going to try to get her to get on here though.
