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

[L.E.]

Hi, Ladies!

MzSwizz, Aww I bet the going away party will be so much fun... and July 5th is approaching so quickly!

Fngrs, That is a big drop! I think you'll stay in the lower temps til O... O day is anywhere from 5-9 days away so you'll be fertile before long.

For me, My temp was lower today so my cross-hairs are gone. I was awake for a little while an hour before my normal wake-up time but I didn't get out of bed, so my temp should be pretty accurate. I went from hot to cold a lot last night and had blankets on and off. My temp was 98.06 when I went to bed which is like my other temps where it was high in the morning, so that's weird, but my bedtime temp doesn't always correlate with my waking temp.

Last time I took Provera I noted some crampy pulls and light bleeding the 2nd day after my last dose and by the evening of the 3rd day I had cramps and heavy bleeding. I counted the heavy bleeding as CD1. I think I had spotting still the whole time, so it made it harder to decide things. I really wish I would've kept a more detailed record of it. Today is my 2nd day off the Provera so I'm just waiting for AF to arrive. I hope she makes her appearance quickly and doesn't drag it out.

 

[L.E.]

Ok so how weird is this??? If I mark ANY cm choice for the 18th or 19th (even dry), I will get dotted cross-hairs saying the 18th was O day. I just didn't check cm those days because I had some spotting. So N/A means not enough info to detect, but if I put anything in there, that is enough info?? Sigh... These charts are so picky and strange. I'm just going to leave it for a little so you can see it, then take them back off.

I don't think I O'd, and if I did happen to O on the 18th, I'm out anyway. At that point, we hadn't BD in a couple weeks. We BD the next day and a couple days later, but not before. So either way AF would be here in less than a week. Now if I put it back to n/a and get 2 days of high temps, FF would put the cross-hairs back at the 22nd. FF is more fickle than a teenager lol. I'm still expecting to see AF in the next 2 days.

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.

They look as though they are more accurate, so I have to agree with you on that one. If I have another low temp tomorrow, then I know for sure that it wasn't a fluke and we are truly in the fertile phase. Hopefully they stay low like that and and look similar to your chart Pre-O.

You can always test before the the 4th or 5th, in 5 more days you should be able to know for sure if you are or not. You will be 9dpo in 5 days, and that will only be the 1st of July, so you'd be able to test up until the 3rd and either get a line or not. If by the 3rd or 4th you have no line then you know for sure you aren't preggers.

Hey ladies how is everyone ugh i miss my laptop using my phone to get on sucks and its been raining on and off for 3 days down here the road i live on is flooded but its not in the house thank god my opks are still neg and looks like my temps have gone nuts lmao

I miss your laptop too being on the phone is sucky, and more of a hassle! I can't wait until it's fixed in back on your loving arms again, so you can get online more. Yea Florida has been getting it pretty bad with that wanna be hurricane. I was so hoping that it wasn't coming here. I wish it would dissipte into nothing and leave everyone alone! :/ You and your family stay safe. The only thing there is to do in times of hard rain is baby-dance and sleep a lot

your chart....WOO almost 98!!..Yea, that one high temp is either a high temp before the ovulation dip or just a confused bit of hormone (progesterone) trying to figure out what to do. Sorry confused hormone it's not your turn to shine...It's estrogen time! Stay in your lane hormone, STAY in your lane

It's looking a little bit like ovulation isn't too far off though. Yayy!! Which is a good thing. because then you catch the egg and tell your DH (in my best james bond voice) “Now put your clothes back on, and I’ll buy you an ice cream.”

You are right about being fickle...FF 's more than a little bit, and makes me wonder if it knows what the heck it's doing anymore!!! I know you were taken aback with FF. Because my first thought was !!! I hope you aren't out and you ovulated later than FF is saying. AND if AF does show and you and Dh didn't catch the egg this time, think of how much close your are to another ovulation!!!


I was going to add that you could test...smh I guess that would be a waste of an ht if you did that.

 

[L.E.]

Ha I considered testing but my last pee wasn't that great and I knew it would be a waste of a test. Plus I don't feel preggers at all. TCOYF is a pain in my rear too. I had them just looking at my temps but I couldn't get my charts separated how I wanted, so they're kind of wacky. So I put in the EWCM from the 19th and then the Creamy and Sticky days this last week and changed the settings to look at temp and cm, and it put my O day as June 6th? TCOYF is so messed up I may have to delete it and put in the info again.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Deleting and starting over may be the best solution...I found it hard to separate charts on there. I have never had to merge charts on FF, but I imagine separating would be so much easier than on TCOYF. I made a bad call with my first chart on there, I started CD1 a day before it was suppose to be and had a heck of a time trying to separate it when I started the 2nd chart. it even took that CD1 chart and made it like I had a 24 hour cycle. I ended up getting it sorted out, thank god, but it was a hot mess getting just that deleted without having to delete the 2nd chart I'd started.
I mean, I love that it can be set to observe what you want it to observe, But I wish that when you start a new chart it didn't look so far-fetched from the others. TCOYF has my fertile days looking ridiculous, we can't dance that many days! I am going to post a pic of my calendar...In another post though.


wouldn't it be great if you didn't miss your chance and are actually going to ovulate within the next few days?! With the corsshairs being gone, maybe you are still in the running to ovulate this cycle. I mean it is a possibility. If they took the crosshairs away then HEY, it could mean that you are still waiting to ovulate. Or do you really think with the pulling and cramps that you did ovulate earlier?

Ok I am babbling now, but I looked at your chart again and it really does look like you could have ovulated on CD15...I think the disturbed sleep the other night (Cd18) is what did it. Who knows it could have been higher than 97.70 and since the living room was colder than your room, that could have made for the weird temps. Hmmm, what happens if you just tinker and put that 97.7 at 97.9 and leave the temp for today? I would imagine it would give crosshairs. Maybe?

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Ok so here are my ridiculous fertile days.There are 12 days on my chart. That just can't be right. TCOYF can't be STILL trying to figure out when my fertility begins?!?!?! Right? I have been charting with it for quite a few cycles now. They should know, regardless of CM and CP. Maybe I need to check my settings!!!!

EDIT: Ok it's not the settings that are the issue. I have it set to recognize sticky Cm as infertile, and EWCM as fertile. even though I don't get EWCM I have it set that way. It seems to determine ovulation even though I don't report any EWCM. So it's really not the settings. It started yesterday saying that I am fertile. I mean my Cm is weird right now, that's why I recorded it. It not creamy and it's not watery or eggwhite, it's something in between. It's very moist and not really thick and it doesn't look to have a real color. I can't really describe it...It's just weird. Vaginal sensation is moist or a little slippery i guess, so that it easy. I guess the real confirmation comes if DH and I dance...He claims that he will wake me in the morning. But that isn't going to happen, because I am up for 6 a.m. he gets off at 6 a.m. He even had to laugh at himself for saying that one because he forgot that I wake with the farmers chickens...This edit is such a blabber mouth moment. I am just not getting a real read on the CM though. And TCOYF can't be right about that many fertile days. DH would be SOOOO very done and hiding from me by the time I do ovulate. Not unless I am going to ovulate early...(sigh) for thel ove of God, I start temping vaginally and get the temp situation worked out, and move on to a CM problem!!! Maybe it's the increase in fluids or increase in water consumption??? Heck I don't know...

Maybe I am starting my fertile phase!! BLAH! Whatever!!!!

 

[L.E.]

Fngrs, You know I know how charting is supposed to work in theory, but since my body doesn't do anything normally, I haven't seen it in action working right for me. I mean, both charts showed me as having O'd on May 31st and we know that never happened. I was as true as I could be on my chart. Even when I took all my sick days out, it still showed it, and we know I'm not pregnant.

I changed the temp you said and it still doesn't give me cross-hairs because of today's temp. Now if I get 2 higher temps again, I will get my cross-hairs back. I would think that's highly unlikely since I would expect my progesterone levels to drop more since I stopped taking the Provera, so it's probably good I didn't get to keep my cross-hairs.

My temp has been up today too... earlier was 98.6ish and now it's 98.4ish and usually when I take it randomly I'm in the 97's, so who knows. I should be used to my body being crazy, but I often feel confused by it.

Sooooo.... I don't know what's up with TCOYF giving you all those fertile days, especially since your temps looked much higher than usual due to temping vaginally. My only guess is that since your temps were/are showing a downward pattern, that they acknowledge that you're not too far from ovulation and that they're extending it because your O has been delayed a couple days lately... That's my best guess. I think if you and DH BD in the morning then every other day for a week (or even skip 2 days), you should be pretty safe and maybe not have DH hiding from you. Plus if you get a positive opk, you can dtd every day for 2 or 3 days then skip a day and BD once more to cover bases. I don't think BDing every day is necessary but I'm no expert.

 

[FngrsCrossed]

Well L.E. I guess we will see what the next few days bring with your temps. We have to be the most weird bodied people there are. And if there are women with weirder bodies then us, I wish they'd find us so we won't think we are the weirdest. Sometimes I want to task my body, what do you think you are doing?! I am sure that you are asking that if you haven't in the past already. The next conversation is going to consist of a very firm "STOP IT!"


Maybe I am very well entering the fertile phase or like you said it could be that ovulation has been tricky since the CP's. maybe this full moon will bring something nice where ovulation is concerned! since i am temping vaginally, opk's are a must. Hopefully we catch the egg this cycle, and I won't have to observe what my vaginal ovulation temp usually is a few cycle...That would be heart shattering to have to do that. Right now, I think both of us are in need of what's RELIABLE. No guessing or not not sure about ovulation and LP. FF definitely needs to understand that maybe just isn't an answer. Dotted corsshairs, You ovulated between day X and Y. And "according to your cervical mucus observations you Ovulated between X,Y, or Z. But you can observe several patches of fertile cervical mucus in a cycle. Wait for a sustained thermal shift to determine ovulation. YEA RIIIIGHT, I can do that with dashed crosshairs!!!!

 

[L.E.]

Yep. I thought temping would give me answers, not more questions!

I merged my charts back so I can see the big picture and I think my new cycle will be here soon. I'm telling myself that it will be tonight or tomorrow.... Then I can start fresh and possibly over-ride the old cross-hairs. Until AF gets here, it's all going to be a mess, so I hope she's here sooner rather than later (unless by a miracle, I got a bfp, then I want her to stay away of course).

 

[mzswizz]

Fngrs-yes i was going to start testing around 9dpo so i will know when it comes close to af time.

L.e. yeah tell me about it. I think july 5th is coming a little too fast.

AFM, today im 5dpo and my temp did the opposite of what it usually does. My temp actually rose to 98.07 from 97.75. Usually my temp drops around 5-9dpo and then AF arrives but this time my temp dropped a little around 3-4dpo and rose again today. We shall see what happens this cycle. Going to keep a watch on my chart. It would be nice to finally be able to start a family but im sooooo close to going into boot camp and starting everything that i just hope a bfp waits until we are stationed together. But whatever is in God's will is going to happen so now i just got to wait and see. Also dh and i are studying so we can become E-2 before we get into bootcamp so wish us luck on that. Well thats it for now. Oh and my nipples still hurt. They stand at attention even when they are not hard so i have no clue whats going on. I think they are broken

 

[L.E.]

MzSwizz- Like I figured, mine was not "real" ovulation, so I'm not on the same days as you, but that's okay. I hope that if you don't get your bfp that you can conceive quickly when you get out of boot camp, and that if you do get your bfp now, that you get your forever baby.

 

[L.E.]

CD1 CD1 CD1!!! Technically I'm probably at spotting, but I know it's going to increase. I had nothing at 9 a.m. and just a few mins ago I got some red and my cervix is firm finally, so she's hhhhhheeeeerrrrreeee. As soon as I marked it on my chart, it split, so that's good that I didn't have to do an override. I just knew I would start last night or today. At least my body was consistent about something (last time took 3 days too). Now I'm just hoping the witch is a little nicer than last time. Last time I have 4 very heavy days, 1.5 moderate, 1.5 light, and some random spotting for 2 days. However, if it follows the same pattern, I'll at least be down to a light flow for the 4th of July. I'm really hoping she's gone by then, though. That would be nice.

 

[staceyj83]

Yayyyyyy

 

[L.E.]

Well.... it's off to a slow start... Haven't had anything but a little bit of brown since that one time. I even checked my cervix a few mins ago and just had brown cm and I could barely reach my cervix. It had been staying fairly high but I could reach it okay. Dunno... waiting it out as usual.

 

[mzswizz]

hoping that you finally start your af soon l.e. i know the wait and frustration can get to all of us at times.

 

[mommapowers32]

I hope that is AF finally showing her face for you LE!!

Hey ladies!!! I thought that I had posted here but I got AF on Monday after fathers day. I dont see the post on here. Sorry It has been so nuts here in Jacksonville. We have had no internet, power due to the TS Debby or I've been editing my life away (photography business).

How is everyone doing??

CD 10 for me EWCM started today and Im cramping my O pains have been pretty bad Im going to take a OPK but my urine is really clear due to all the water I am drinking I've started working out JAZZERCISE and it is KICKING MY BUTT!!!!

 

[mommapowers32]

Morning Ladies...

Was getting a little worried there, everyone was so quiet. lol

Stacey- I hope you and little Alice feel better in no time. And I can't believe that she is growing up so fast...2 teeth?! She had better slow down on the growing up and stay a little bitty baby for a lot longer.

Momma- I am going to shake your hpt for you, and make it positive, I used to be able to do it. I may have lost my hpt mojo, but I am willing to try just for you. We need a bfp!

L.E. They still hadn't called it in?! Are they serious?! So with the blood work are they thinking you may be pregnant, or do they want to make sure that you aren't before giving the Provera? Glad that the spotting is minimal. I know you are just sick of seeing it and will have a vendetta against the color red if you don't already.

I just saw this post! AWW thank you, your too sweet!!

 

[L.E.]

Hi, Momma! Good to see you back!! Wow I can't believe you're past AF and ready for O already!
