Sticking Together Until We Are In Diapers Ourselves!

[mdscpa]

So I have a favor to ask of you ladies. I work for a nonprofit and we run a school for girls in Pakistan. Did you know that educated women are less likely to die in childbirth? The #1 cause of death for girls ages 15-19 is childbirth. If all mothers completed primary education, maternal deaths would be reduced by two-thirds, saving 98,000 lives.. whoa!

We're doing a special Mothers Day campaign called "Thanks to Her" where we're asking people to share a story about how a woman close to them positively influenced their lives. All you have to do is make a little video, write a status, or post a photo and talk about how that woman influenced your life and where you would be without her. And make sure you use #ThanksToHer so I can find them! I really want this campaign to work but we need some videos first

When does an opk become positive? I have one that is almost as dark as the control then I have one that darker then the control? So confused I never used them before.


I just googled and clinical guard strips have the control on the right side. So cd19 is the darkest.
How will I know which day I ovulated since I didn't check my bbt until a few days ago....today I had a big dip

Sylvia, opks are positive when the test line is the same or darker than the control line. CD19 is very positive to me which means you have 24-36 hours for O to happen but some it could happen up to 72 hours from postive opks. That big dip could be your O.... Tons and tons of to you hun. FX u catch that egg.

Thank you so much, how will I know which is my O if FF will not give me crosshairs? I had a big rise today Also this is my opk progression so only the top one I will mark pos on FF?

Top one is definitely a positive no doubt. Is your FF set on Advanced or OPKs? You still have CH you're just missing a base line because of inadequate prior O temps. You may want to put a dummy temps on CD1 and some from CD14-18 so FF will give you a baseline. Based on what i read before about charting average pre-O temps ranges from 97.3-97.5 you can use those as your dummy temps but try to leave a note for your reference.

Another thing, your temp drop yesterday could be a fallback rise or your actual O-day, either way I'm sure O already happened and your BD timing is so great.... FX for in a few days hun..

Fi that potty shot is adorable! Letting it all hang right out there!

Good luck Sylvia!

Fi that potty shot is making me wonder if I'll get to find out my baby's gender in two weeks!! I'll be 13.5 weeks when I go for my "12week" 3D scan!! I wonder if baby will be shy or not and show us the potty area too! The fact that it's a possibility is exciting!!
I also have my genetic testing consult next Tuesday too. But I think that 3D scan will be too early to accurately show the gender then at 12.5 weeks.

GL Sylvia!

Jess- I don't blame you for wanting to get as much done now while you feel good!! Sounds great!! I hope you make it too 37/38 weeks! That's crazy how your family members have had such big babies!! Holy moly! Ouch!!! Lol

 

[Jrepp]

"Jesus I'm massive!" I yelled that across the living room today when I took my bump pic. There is a pretty noticeable difference between last week in green and this week in pink,

Looking great Jess!! What a growth spurt
Maybe that could have caused you to feel uncomfy lately with aches?

I remember when I had a spurt I had really really bad ligament pains.

Which dummy temps should I put? Lower than my first temp or lower than my big dip yesterday? I had it set on Advanced but I just switched it to FAM...

EDIT: Okay did I do it right? I put dummy temps below my big dip and it put CH's

Time to celebrate for being half-way done.




Jess, definitely a growth spurt.... Loving the pictures....


Sylvia, i think it's fine. Now we wait what happens to your temps in the next couple of days, FX it stays up and you get a


AFM, entering my TWW today to hitting 50 days left.... Some silly countdown to make the waiting shorter and faster until my EDD.

 

[MamaBunny2]

20 WEEKS!
Omigosh I'm halfway!
​

I have actually been feeling great lately. Yesterday and today I've had no aches or pains and can move about without feeling like an 80 year old lady

11 days, 22 hours, 46 minutes and 50 seconds until my ultrasound!!!

I may or may not have a countdown on my phone

 

[mdscpa]

You looking so pretty Jyllian... I guess i can make my vote now of what you're having.

Obviously you're not counting....

 

[MamaBunny2]

I am gonna start taking official weekly bare belly shots from the front and side as well from here on out, aside from the ones I have always been doing in my bathroom. Didn't have time this morning but will as soon as I get home!

What is your guess? Or should we wait until I post the bare ones?

 

[mommysylvia]

My chart looks so rocky... What do y'all think? I know I ovulated already hmm

 

[mommysylvia]

Belly bump pic is so cute Jyllian

 

[Twinsie]

Cute pic jyllian! I will wait to guess later!

Sorry Sylvia I never temped, not sure..

 

[cutieq]

Looks like you ovulated. I've had rocky temps before. Not really sure why though.

 

[mdscpa]

My chart looks so rocky... What do y'all think? I know I ovulated already hmm

I had a rocky temps post-O on my chart. Got dips at 3,5,8,10 dpo and the same with Pamela. If yours followed same dips maybe just maybe you'll be the third who'll get with those dips.
