Pearly86- I'm taking a break from OPKs because I've become too much of a POAS addict! I use them more than needed (which wastes $, even when just the cheap ones) because I worry that I'll miss my surge, then I'll have days where something comes up and I can't check, and I worry that I missed it... and it seems like everything I do revolves around two lines- and I want to get away from that and take it easy!
(Thankfully my husband wasn't an issue in this decision- He's always been more than ready to go, and would even go out and buy opks for me!)

SCgirl i was the same first two months but CBdigital totally changed it for me. Im so glad i switched i totally got my sanity back cuz i tested just once a day.

Hi girls,

CD11 here and I'm very confused here because my chart doesn't agree with my OPK test results.

As you can see in my chart, my temp went way up this morning indicating that I might have ovulated yesterday (CD10) or even the day before (CD9) because temp was slightly up yesterday morning and had a dip on CD9. Click on my chart to see previous cycles' temps - I normally do not have erratic temps.

However, my OPK's tell a different story. I didn't get a true positive until this morning's FMU (CD11), although on CD9 I only tested at 10 AM and 6 PM so I guess I could have gotten a positive in between. But then again, I don't normally have a short surge and usually get 2-3 days of positive before. Also on CD9 at around 9 PM, I felt something in my right ovary (I guess you could call that ovulation pain).

So what do you girls think? Did I O on CD9 or it hasn't happened yet?

 

[MrsWKJ]

Thanks canthardlywait fx for you.

Floridasian I'll say wait till tomm. If temps stay that high then that could confirm. Otherwise it could be a fluke. I wouldn't be too worried about the temp before the spike cuz that is in the pre O rangge.

Did you drink last night? Because that can raise the body temp drastically. Also I've heard very latenight dinner can do the same.

 

[floridasian]

No I didn't drink. My beloved rabbit (my sweet baby) died unexpected yesterday afternoon. Both DH and I spent the rest of the afternoon and entire night crying. We were devastated and did not eat dinner (I had a banana at around 7 pm but that was the only thing I ate since 1 pm yesterday).

 

[MrsWKJ]

Oh so sorry dear, I can imagine its so hard they just become your family.we have a pet cat at my parents and my mom treats him like a son. I hope you're feeling better May be you were upset and cried a lot that's why your temps got messed up. Wait till tomm x

 

[floridasian]

Yes he was like a son to us. I treated him as my "substitute child" so it's really hard. I'm still crying now.

I really hope you get ok soon floridasian, although i know its hard but stress is not good for you.

Pearly i got an appointment for day after tomorrow, Will let you guys know how it goes. I have a few other tests in mind that i'll ask them to do. I got the appointment with GP and then another with my gyn on 6th. Hopefully will ask for an early scan and praying to God that everything goes smoothly from there.
