Hi ladies Could I ask for some advice please? My temp dropped after staying put for the last 4 days this morning. I would assume that I will ovulate today at some stage (hopefully) I took an OPK as there is a definite line but still not as strong as the control line. My DH and I have bd twice yesterday, once 2 days before that and once 4 days before that. If I'm ovulating today, should we bd again tonight? or since the line wasnt as strong on the test line, perhaps tomorrow is the day and we could bd tomorrow?
I'm just trying to space it out a little as DH is getting slightly agitated with me obsessing

If the the test line is not as dark or darker than the control line it's negative for your surge. Once a day is plenty if he is up to it that's great but it takes 24-36 hours after you see lh surge(pos. opk) for you to ovulate. So I'd keep it to once a day or every other until you get your surge. That way his swimmers can build back up!

 

[Guppy051708]

Pretty Sakura is correct about the LH surge and the outcome of the test, however, i will say that i NEVER got a positive OPK on the ANSWER brand OPKs. I do know that i Ov this cycle though because i got a positive on the clear blue digi and i had FF confirm Ov with my temps. Just giving you a heads up, though hopefully you will def. get a positive!

Doodar!!! Good luck with your temps tomorrow! I will def. be stalking ya when i get up to record my temps on FF (assuming you have recorded yours by then).

 

[Guppy051708]

Billy, looks like recorded High, Open, and Soft for your CP & EW CM , those are PERFECT CPs and CM for Ov. and you are at the appropriate stage of your cycle to Ov. Id say you will be Ov. very soon! Good luck!

 

[Pretty Sakura]

Yes definitely keep getting busy. and maybe try another opk brand to compare to. That might help. Some brands work better for certain people! Everything looks good on your chart, should being O soon!

 

[ablacketer]

I use Answer and I got a solid pos, but I test once every twelve hours.

 

[Guppy051708]

I tested twice a day.... (in the AM and in the afternoon)
IDK, but it just didn't work for me

 

[Kelly9]

Hey guys
My opks's say that you can Ov 12-36 hours after a positive... not sure if different brands are different but just a heads up!

Billy I would say the day you get a positive either BD that day and or the day after. Thats how we got out BFP. I got a pos opk so we BD that day which was good I did cause I felt ov literally well lets see poas at 1pm felt ov around 11pm so only 10 hours later then did it the next day just to be sure.

And doodar your chick needs a good smack on the back of the head I think.

 

[billylid]

Thank you so much for the wonderful advice everyone! of course now im utterly confused as my new packet of OPK's just arrived and i've just tested and received a negative after just having a near positive this morning on a different test. Since we bd twice yesterday, I will miss tonight and maybe bd before DH goes to work in the morning. Hopefully that will be enough. I've been studying a lot of charts on FF and found that a lot of women didnt even bd on their ovulation day (but also a hell of a lot of them did) so hopefully it will work either way.
Argh! It shouldnt be this difficult hehe

Thanks 2016-I will be 12DPO on 12/13, lol but it is FUN!!!

Yeah and my day is during AF now! lol - bit silly but it is keeping me amused so wth!

 

[billylid]

well after all your help, I believe I'm gonna be out for this month. No for Christmas I suffer from interstitial cystitis and its flared up this afternoon. I had to take an antibiotic and painkillers. I'm really gutted that this has happened and yet I'm trying not to let it show so my husband doesnt get concerned. Best of luck to everybody else

well 2016 maybe that's why we aren't getting pregnant-we're actually fertile and not BD when it completely goes against science! Lol.

 

[Guppy051708]

You ladies have been very quiet today.
How is everyone?
I am trying *patiently* to wait until Sunday to when i'll be 10 DPO.
I know that you may not be able to say much about my chart yet, but can anyone please give me an opinion on it thus far?
I really hope tomorrow i get an ID, as i got an ID @ 6DPO last time.
Thanks

 

[kstancook]

Guppy looking good!

 

[Titi]

Guppy can't wait to see your temp in the morning. I could use a big fat ID too!

 

[Guppy051708]

thanks for looking girls!
I really hope we both get an ID tomorrow Titi!
It would be nice to have a heads up with a

In your (everyone's) experience with charting, do temps usually go up @5DPO or after if you are NOT pregnant?

 

[Guppy051708]

phew!
I am feeling slightly nauseous. Its not really that feeling of "im going to throw up" but it is def. uncomfortable. Its not like cramping...i dont know how to describe it...but i dont like it. it sorta feels like that "whoa" feeling you get from a roller coaster. Maybe its more like "chuck-mouth" ... but not like throwing up...IDK but i dont like it. Though if this is from pregnancy (which i dont think would be likely at this point) than I will embrace it! but i hope im not getting from something else

 

[Guppy051708]

How does everyone get those pretty colors in the symptom boxes on FF??? I would like to change my colors if its possible. FF keeps using some ugly colors over and over again...i know this is stupid...but we need *POSITIVITY*

 

[billylid]

I cant help with with the coloured boxes sorry Guppy but your chart is looking great

I still havent ovulated so I have no idea whats going on how long can you stay fertile before you ovulate? does that sound stupid?
