That OTHER 2 Week Wait!

[samiam]

sam..thanks..how is the shoulder???
neffie..i have also been testing twice a day and got a semi decent line but i usually pop really dark..but i did have really intense ovary pains yesterday..and last night while i was at work i had some true ewcm..which put me a great mood..i have one opk left for this evening..since surges hit more in the evening hrs..hoping it a + ...if not we just keep bding until the ewcm disappears......hope my dh will keep cooperating.

Love: It hurts a lot! I am booked on a flight back to the States on Feb 15th to see an orthopedic shoulder doc, though, so something will happen sooner than it would if I stay here waiting for the NHS referral letter. Worried a bit that, if I do get a , they won't be able to do surgery and I tell you, I'm ready to suggest that they give me a local and/or a spinal block and strap me down and get it done!

Sounds like you have the right time for some huevo catching this month!

Morning OTWWers

Bella - YAY, that's fantastic news! Hope you caught that egg.

:

Thanks Neffie,

I also was testing twice a day, last nite I tested at 10pm which was neg, then this morning 930 was pos, then this evening was neg, so my surge was relly short. So you may well have missed your surge but also I have been using digi tests and when I took them out to see the lines they are not dark, if they weren't digi I wouldn't think they were pos! So your OPK's mite be pos, I will post a pic to show you them if you like? xx

 

[neffie]

Thanks Bella...that would be great.

 

[BellasMummy]

Hey Neffie, they are from the top,
neg
pos
neg

Gosh bella. thanks for the pics.
maybe i should start using digi's, as i never get a proper positive on my strips?

I know this is not a pic posting thread, but if I posted some pics of my OPKs, could you guys look at them, and let me know what you think?

Of course xx

 

[Amberyll23]

Yes! Please post pics! Will be glad to help if I can!

 

[neffie]

Here you go. Sorry for the multiple photos, as each test is on a different one. Hope they're not too blurry. The remaining 3 will come in a different post.

Here's the order of the photos going from top left to bottom right.

CD 11
CD 12
CD 13
CD 14 (am)
CD 14 (pm)

 

[neffie]

Here are the remaining 3.

CD 15
CD 16
CD 17 (today)

 

[BellasMummy]

I think CD13 looks quite strong, as half the line is dark which still counts xx

 

[neffie]

Thanks Bella. I chart my temperatures as well, and the problem is that it's still showing temps in the pre O range. So based on that, I would have to say that all my tests are negative. I would have been a bit hopeful if today's test (CD 17) was a little darker, but it's not.

 

[BellasMummy]

I am charting too, but it is my first time and I really don't understand them!xx

 

[shelleney]

Aww, neffie
All of my OPKs look like that. None of them ever look positive, they are all faint. But I believe that I am ovulating, and my OPKs are just not picking up my surge.
I really hope your temps start to rise soon, or you get a +OPK.
xx

 

[Amberyll23]

Neffie--those all look negative to me, and based upon what you are saying about your temps, you are probably still waiting to O. Are you usually clockwork with your O day or does it fluctuate? If you are usually clockwork, and you can't seem to get darker opks, you may want to let temps/cm dictate your timing. Sometimes the opks just don't catch the surge.

 

[neffie]

Thanks Amber. I am usually like clockwork. Based on CM, I would think that my most fertile days are behind me, but these darn OPKs are making me second guess. We did time things based on CM, so hopefully I did O, and we still have a chance. DH is on the verge of being completely pooped, so if that egg hasn't arrived yet, she better hurry up!!!!

SAM..I hope you get some good answers and RELIEF from your appt when you go back to the states..they should be able to come up with something to help..and ask those orthopod docs about that lidoderm patch
Lisa..thanks for the info..it was helpful..and as i suspected i did have a little ewcm on wed and a little more on thurs and last night at work..
Neffie..those look negative to me too..i hope you get a positive soon..and if you don't you are doing the right thing and using your body's signs..i hope you get your huevo soon..and Bella's correct ..i read that if half the line is darker than the control line that it still may be a +...some women's opk's don't make the whole line dark
i just got up from my sleep (as you know i work nights)..it's 430pm and i finally got a + opk..and if you could tell me how to upload..i will gladly try it..and neffie i will post all of mine for the last several days if you'd like
anyhoo..dh gave me my "daily deposit" at the bank as he calls it..i am hoping he will give an extra one tonight and tomorrow...
so i guess i should go with tomorrow as my o day..good thing i changed my ticker..
it has been a long wait for this prima donna of an egg..i sure hope since she has made me wait that i get a great ..as is my wish for everyone else..

 

[neffie]

Thanks love. Glad you finally got your +. She can be such a diva. Fingers crossed that you caught her. We can always hope that a slow moving egg has a better chance of being caught, right? As for the pics, once you click on 'Post Reply', below the posting box there is a link called 'Manage Attachments'. You can upload photos from there.

 

[loveanurse1]
