Positive or negative ? Lend me your eyes :)

[cnsweeney]

Hi ladies . So this evening I had loads of ewcm . This morning I did not . & I got this opk this evening and trying to determine if it's positive or not .i should also add I am not one of those ones that gets dark opks from cd1 - o .. cd 1 - 9/10 are usually really light , sometimes barely there . I am cd12 now .

I dont think its positive. I was wondering on a bunch of mine, but i finally got a true positive later on cd24 and there was no mistaking it!

 

[cnsweeney]

Thank you curly ! I actually went on to have a true positive yesterday and today that was also no mistaking it !

Hey, I'm looking at your temps and I'm not seeing a clear shift. There are a few empty circles, are you temping at the same time/ getting enough sleep? I know the opks became positive, but that doesn't guarantee O. It just means your body got ready to O. But I am concerned that there isn't a temp shift two days later (it should rise at least .2 and stay up for three days). I would get in another round of bd and keep doing opks

Hey there dobby !
I didn't want to go into another discussion on this post so I didn't mention that but since you asked
The empty circles are just because sometimes I wake up and take my temp then go back to sleep and log it later without changing the time .. oops lol. But overall I usually take my temp every morning around 6-630 after at least 5 hours of sleep .
I am pretty sure I ovulated .. opks are negative now and cm is creamy . & everything over the weekend just screamed I'm fertile (ewcm , pos opk, o pains , cp was hso) .. I got the .3 temp spike yesterday but then it dropped this morning and I was so bummed & confused. But when I looked it up it seems to be fairly common . It's called fallback rise and it happens on exactly 2dpo for many women .. FF even has a keyword for it when you search their charts . Apparently it has to do with estrogen hasn't dropped enough and progesterone hasn't risen enough yet .. but it should (I HOPE) go back up tmw . Pray for me!

I just saw your other post . I still would have suggested getting another round of bd. Fallback rise is a common pattern, but since your other cycle didn't have it I would be cautious. For me, anytime I had a 2dpo I ended up anovulatory or I Oed a few days later. And I have Oed days after my cm turned creamy and my opks were negative and all the symptoms of O, so I always advise to err on the side of caution and get that extra bd in just in case. Fxed you catch that egg this month!

Thanks Dobby
Well I hope that's not the case ! We didn't bd because I thought O was over and dh has been so tired this week from work so I wanted to give him a break . But if that's what happened and I O'd on cd16 instead of 14 then I hope the bd's from cd12-14 do the job ! I think sperm can live about 5 days ! But I usually O cd 14 & have 28 day cycles so I'm pretty sure it was cd 14. My last chart isn't completely reliable ..I'm not sure what the deal was last month ! My temps were kind of erratic and O happened on cd19 .. so it was delayed by 5 days which never happens with me . I'm thinking it was because I was pretty sick. I've been sick this month too but I guess not had enough to mess up my cycle .. idk. Things seem to be a little more clear this month . & with the opks fading out Monday morning i don't think I would have O'd Tuesday but who knows !

Got it. Totally get being exhausted. Definitely had a few sessions where I was so tired/on the verge of crying and had to repeat that it was for the baby. Or trying to seduce an equally tired SO lol. No fun. Anyway back to you lol. 0-2 and 0-3 is definitely still in. Some people say o-2 is perfect timing. So either o day you are solid. . When do you plan to test?

 

[cnsweeney]

Haha you can talk about you all you'd like ! Congrats on your bfp btw ! How exciting !!
Idk when I plan to test . I don't see the point in setting a date anymore because I never stick to it ! but if I'm good and stick to the plan I will wait until Wednesday the 7th . I will be 10dpo. I'm supposed to have a dr appt on the 6th so I'm thinking about getting a blood test while I'm there . Hmmmm lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Oooo interesting did you get early bfps before? I definitely know people who have implanted at 5/6 so a beta could be worth it if you can swing one haha. I'd wait though. Definitely pee on cheaies to satisfy the urge though lolol

 

[cnsweeney]

Yeah I've changed my mind about the blood test . It's much harder hearing a live person tell you it's negative rather than just seeing it on the stick
With my dd's I got positives at 9dpo & 11dpo . With the 11dpo one though I wasn't testing before that so it may have been positive earlier than that .

 

[DobbyForever]

So true! Nothing sucks more than your result is less than 0. Or worse when a nurse made a mistake and said 1. And I was like 1 there's still hope! Didn't realize she just read it wrong hahah. Do come back and update me unless I find your hpts in the testing forum because I stalk around in there too

 

[cnsweeney]

Haha I will !
