Whoooohooooo,
First real positive (dark pink) OPK since i've started ttc. I've had other test to turn pinkish, but for some reason the test from this a.m. was like (POW). This one turned darker in color than the control line on the right side of test stick, which is awesome.

I think i am at the peak of ovulation today and we will see what happens

Just wanted to share..

@ Ready,
LOL.... I have been I tell you. My hubbs has gotten super stamina from some where (3x) a day. TMI, I know but I can't keep up, thankfully he is at work now so I can . Hopefully, we have a winner ...... Otherwise, I will have to wonder are these tubes open or what?

 

[FutureMommie]

InLuv2- Congrats on the positive opk, sounds like you have the bd'ing under control!! I see you temp and use ff, what are the benefits of the ff VIP membership?

Susan- I am so sorry!!!!!

AFM- just waiting, I'm 7dpiui today and not really feeling any different so we will see, just trying to remain positive. If this isnt our month I'm taking a break from the follistim injections and iui and just put my faith in God and ask him to direct my path. I think I will start to temp if I can make sense of it and use opk's

I think the benefits are something like the forums, a more detail chart and something else. I have the VIP and really don't see the big deal, TBH.

I am believeing with you that is your month you will get your BFP.

@ futuremommie, placing it all in God's hands is the only way. AFM-I'm focusing on eliminating doubt, as god will work it out! Stay prayerful!

About the ff membership, we were offered 90 days for $16.95 and you can't beat that. You are allowed to have a FF calendar which lays out the days of the month for you as well as the bd'ing, OPK, test and other activity. The calendar is nice to view. Also, the chart options are better. You get to have more details regarding your chart the options are more. Also, you can chat in the community with others, view other charts for comparison or just to view etc.... For me it's worth the money. I had tried for 2 days or so to have a regular ff chart once my membership expired. My husband was like no, "what happen to the calendar?" lol....so i renewed our membership. Temping and charting are both a task, so why not have extra bells & whistles to make the chore less of a chore. However, you can track just fine without the membership. I'm just a detailed person, the more the merrier

Inluv

InLuv2--What a beautiful POSITIVE OPK!! I was expecting a positive myself, yesterday but never got it. And still didn't get a positive today--weird. I know how good it feels to see a nice strong positive.

FutureMommie--If this isn't your cycle, your plan to take a break from injections and IUI may get you that bfp. On another thread, one of the ladies had been trying for quite awhile and finally did a couple of rounds of IUI and fertility drugs. They were going to have one cycle off before resorting to IVF. That month off was her lucky month. So if IUI didn't do the job, I hope your "off time" does. Once we've been trying for awhile, you start to think it will NEVER happen. But really, we're just getting closer to that bfp every month.

Mom23monkies--Sounds like your Christmas was a little hectic. Happy the kids liked their gifts. I see it's close to time to start TTC...how exciting!!

ready4onemore--How was that Gumbo? I'm going to go make some as soon as I get off of here.

As for me, I'm still waiting to get that positive OPK...this should be O day, but nothing. This cycle's strategy: I used Soy again and Robitussin. I didn't use EPO because the headaches it causes. Used Pre-Seed. I took the advice of another poster here at BnB and didn't even tell hubby I was using it (although he knows I have it). It can be inserted before dtd. Except this morning I put it in the applicator and put it in my robe pocket, trying to take it into the bathroom discreetly. Unfortunately, it leaked out into my pocket. So I was forced to use it indiscreetly. LOL. Hubby's off from work on a short vacation time so we are bding in the mornings, which is supposed to send out better swimmers, lol. I'm hoping the different timing will help us catch the egg. Let's see, what else have I done different this month? I have cut down on my workouts, just because some of what I've read says that too much exercise can have a bad effect on conceiving. I have no idea if this is true, but it is fertility specialists who are saying it. Of course, my daughter and I received MJ's new dance Wii game, and that isn't only fun; it's a workout! Makes us both sweat. LOL. But I'm sure it's not as bad as my INSANITY workouts....and so much funner.

Anyone planning a new strategy for next cycle?

 

[ready4onemore]

Hey Tae,

The gumbo was goooood!! LOL My son had one of his friends over and he had never had homemade gumbo. I didn't know you could get it any other way.

This cycle if I don't get a bfp I am going to try soy. But I am believing I am going to get my BFP.

[FutureMommie]

Taeboe- Thanks for that encouragement, I need it! I'm trying to be hopeful, I know it's going to happen, its the when that is the hard part. I'm not giving up though!

I took epo for about a week and the headaches sucked so I had to stop, I do use preseed too but not every time.

Anyways I hope you ladies are doing well, I'm just waiting for 1/4 either AF will come before that or that will be my testing day! Praying this is my time and she stays away.

@ TaeBoMama,

For the current cycle of TTC I have been drinking lots of Green tea, Raspberry tea. Obviously it has helped with CM because we didn't find the need to use Preseed. I've also been taking a load of BVits as i've heard it helps with fertility. Other than that just doing the do and not focusing on the reason...pure enjoyment and keeping my mind at ease.

Next cycle(#4), hmmmm I don't know what else to add but increasing my water, exercising 30 minutes daily and mean it lol....also, keeping busy.

B6 can cause cm to dry up (I have MTHFR And am on mega doses of b vits) so the research says. I havent really had a problem with it though.
