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

[FngrsCrossed]

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

shocked? Well it is a possibility, at least you know to expect it because of the oppsies. And if that oops happened on CD45, then you can definitely expect that you may be pregnant. Which is an inopportune time for you I guess, but still in all a possibility. Condoms just have a failure rate as any other BC. They break...I have just always been the one to use BC. When I am TTA though I intend on using NFP instead of a hormonal BC. On the least I would consider Paragard (which is non-hormonal).

Anyhow, it feels weird saying GL on not catching the egg. I feel like L.E. though, I can't imagine going from TTC to TTA, without having my LO already. So all I can say is I hope you aren't pregnant, and your plans to ship out next month aren't dampened.

BTW: Hope you love your new job. GL tomorrow.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, Good luck tomorrow!

Fngrs, I totally forgot about you switching to temping vaginally so I guess that makes sense. Sorry about the peer pressure lol. DH thinks I'm totally obsessed with TTC, and well, I am, but I'm also trying to relax. I used the last opk I had on hand today and don't have any plans of buying more right now, no panic even, so that's good. I finally told my sister about my chemical and she was very understanding about it so that made me feel better. Before I told her about it, though, she gave the "advice" my mom tries: Just have sex all the time and you'll get pregnant. Don't you love that one? I said I could have sex every day and still never get pregnant because you can't get preggers without ovulating.

Anyway, I decided to just ride it out with the Provera. If I get AF in a couple days, I'll know I didn't O or it wasn't meant to be. Either way I'll be starting fresh and that's okay with me. A BFP would be ideal, but a brand to cycle is great too.

 

[mzswizz]

Fngrs-thanks and yes the oopsie happened on cd45 I mean i would be happy either way because if its meant to be then its meant to be so now i just have to wait and see. and i ws a little sad about going from ttc to tta but i think if going into the Navy and then going back to ttc because everything will be taken care of, then i will impatiently wait

L.E.- thanks

AFM, well im 3dpo today finally! And my temp is 97.75. So it stayed high today. This is the 3rd time FF confirmed ovulation but this time, i got the solid crosshairs so let's see what happens. Im pretty sure im not pregnant because i have sore nipples. I've had them since 1dpo and as we all know, at first i thought it was a pregnancy symptom for me but lately it turned into AF symptom. So im thinking AF is on her way just a little delayed. Now AF is due on either July 4th or July 5th. If i did conceive, my edd would be my best friend's birthday which is March 15th. But we shall see. Well got to get ready because I start my new job today.

Question: I had my niece and great-niece overnight, so the kids and I slept in the living room so as not to disturb DH and so his 6:30 alarm didn't wake them up. My alarm was in the bedroom and so of course I was paranoid about temping, so I woke up several times and didn't sleep too great. Around 6:30 I think it was my temp was 97.70 and I was pretty hot and I uncovered some. At 8:15 my temp was 97.39, and at 9:20 my temp was 97.40. So the question is, what temp should I use or should I just leave today's temp out completely? My temp was still a bit high for me all day yesterday and last night, so I expected a high temp today. I know it doesn't always work that way. If I hadn't woken up 3 or more times I think it may have been high. Grrr.... What do you think?

Today will be my first day without Provera so I'm expecting AF in 3 or 4 days.

EDIT: And my living room stays cooler than the bedroom because we keep the bedroom door shut most of the night, so I don't know what to think 97.70 at 6:30ish a.m. adjusted to 9 a.m. would be 98.2 vs the temp I actually got 97.4 - huge difference. Should I just wait and see what my temp does tomorrow? It really probably doesn't matter anyway since I'll likely start AF in a few days, but I want an accurate chart.

That gets me all of the time...lol I think you should go with the first temp. If you got close to or def. 3 hours of sleep, then that one should be ok. I have to stop myself from temping if DH's clock disturbs me, or if he makes noise. And I force myself to go back to sleep. It's hard not to temp because you aren't even sure if you are going to be able to go back to bed and you don't want to miss the temp and get a temp after you have been laying there 5 or 10 minutes tossing. I think the first one is best, if you were asleep a solid 3 hours. That should be enough time for your heart rate to slow and temp to drop enough to be accurate. Another thing you can try is temp, don't read it, and go back to bed if you are successful at sleeping and waking at your usual time then without looking temp again. If you aren't successful then you have the first. Also, get out of bed and move around a bit, so you aren't temped to temp and temp and temp again. it insures that you won't use any temp but the first, because you will be so set on accuracy that you won't want to temp again. lol I do that to myself. Especially if I wake at 4 a.m. when DH disturbs my sleep. lol

Did you know that your 97.70 for today is under Thursdays box?

 

[mzswizz]

Im with fngrs. I think you should go with your first temp and i thought i was the only one who noticed the temp is in the wrong place accidently.

 

[L.E.]

Ha thanks ladies. I was just messing with temps to see what would happen if I marked today's at the 97.4 and then had higher temps the next couple days. I guess I'll put the 97.7 in for today and if the next few temps are low, I'll change it to the 97.4 so my chart doesn't look like O. If AF comes then it just means the raised temps were from the Provera anyway. I was stressing at first, but I should know in the next few days so no biggie.

 

[L.E.]

My sleep wasn't helped at all by the extra light that is in the living room (my bedroom is really dark), sleeping on a twin mattress with a 5 yr old, listening to 3 kids toss and turn, a snoring 3-yr-old, a colder than usual room, and knowing I had no alarm set to temp hehe. Next time all the kids will go in the bedroom with me. Usually my niece sleeps on a mattress on the floor in our room with us, but I didn't feel like trying to fit the playpen in there too or having them wake up with DH's alarm.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, how was your first day of the new job????

 

[mzswizz]

my first day was long and was pretty laid back.

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz, your chart is sort of like mine. If I put in W for my cm the day before "O", then I get solid cross-hairs. Neither of us marked cm for a couple days before apparent O.

 

[mzswizz]

you're right L.E., ours does looks similar. And i just added creamy and sticky to see if i get solid but it just stays dashed now i dont know how i went from solid lines to dashed lines. and wow we are both 3dpo today

 

[L.E.]

and our post-O temps are the same....weird! Of course yours is probably a legitimate O and odds are not in my favor that mine is for real (again).

 

[mzswizz]

Wow that is weird L.E. but here is to hoping that it is a legitimate ov for you

AFM, another day at work. I have to talk to my boss because we have a DEP meeting today at 3pm with our recruiters so lets see if i get to leave early. Also, im 4dpo today and my temp stayed at 97.75. I dont know if thats good or bad. Will see if tomorrow's temp drops like it normally does around 5-9dpo and then AF arrives shortly after. My nipples still hurt unfortunately so i had to wear a thin padded bra so it really doesnt rub up against them. My brother in law is throwing a going away part for dh, me and our nephew on Sunday so my family and his family are going to be there and friends. So im excited about that. Well thats it for now.

Was going to say exactly what others were saying. I often see people having constant positive Ovulation tests way after they thought ovulation occurred. but then again, you may have had a long LH surge but i highly doubt thats the case good luck! hopefully you see that BFP!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Hello my lovely ladies!!! Temp was 97.31 this morning...Scratching my head on that one..lol That is a significant drop. I can only imagine what it was going to be orally. lol I imagine it would have been in the 96.5 or 96.7 range. Hopefully these vaginal temps will be more accurate than the oral temps. Look as though they are going to be. I hope they stay low like that all the way until ovulation and I get a clear thermal shift. Those oral temps are tricky...lol so maybe I am entering my fertile phase??? You think? Seems early for that. TCOYF has be in my fertile phase because of Cp and CM yesterday. I have yet to check it today. I am going to do that in after this post.

Honestly I think you ladies both have a legitimate ovulation going on. And you both may as well be pregnant. Now Stacey and I just need to get a bfp.

C'mon Stacey lets get a surprise bfp this cycle!!! Yayyyy!

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Momma where are you?!?!?

 

[mzswizz]

Fngrs-vaginal temps are the most accurate if you ask me. And i think you are entering your fertile phase. If you look at my chart, i flatlined and then had my thermal shift. So im thinking the same is happening with you. If my temp stays up at 5dpo-9dpo then o would be shock. Dh already wants me to test early before he leaves for boot camp so we know whats going on and ff estimates af is due either the 4th or 5th which is incovenient because dh leaves on the 5th.
