Pusscat, how you getting on with the Opks?

Pusscat, how you getting on with the Opks?

Getting on well I think! I've been testing every day and been getting the same faint line every time. I'm hoping this week it will start to get darker as I'm hoping I'll ov at the weekend. It's good to have the OPKs as an early warning system! My temps took a big dip yesterday. And looking back out previous charts, ov tends to happen 7 days after that big dip. So I'm hoping next weekend is the time! Might try to bd every other day in the week then every day over the weekend. But we'll see how we go!

That sounds like a good Bd plan. Early nights ahoy!

 

[Pusscat]

My line is getting darker So excited. Top test from yesterday, bottom test from today. Took today's at 2:30 which I've read is the peak time for reading lh. Yesterday's test was at about 4PM. Will try to test at 2:30 again tomorrow.

Bad night last night. DD woke up when we were going to bed and didn't go back to sleep until about 1:30. Better get the bd in early tonight in case she wakes up again!

How have your past few nights been smawfl?

 

[Pusscat]

Photo is on its side! Left test from yesterday, right test from today!

 

[smawfl]

That looks great Pusscat, so very almost a positive! Sounds like s good time to test.

Sorry you had a tough night. hope you manage to get the Bd in tonight.

Dd touch wood has been really good. Can't remember if I said but for that last few days we've been referring to her bed as "a big girl bed like Anna's " her cousin who she is obsessed with and it's made a massive difference. After naps she doesn't want to get out and I have had to bribe her with chocolate to get out!
In the morning when she wakes she will either just lie in it until we get her or get out,knock gently on her door and wait for us to come! Hoping it continues touch wood!!

 

[Pusscat]

That sounds like good progress with DD smawfl. Bribery with chocolate sounds familiar!

Opk is so very nearly positive when I tested at 3pm today. I might test later this evening as well as I had my sister here when I tested so I only looked at the result straight away and then half an hour later so I'd like to take a proper reading at 10 mins. We managed to bd last night. Wondering if we should try again tonight or save it up for tomorrow?!

 

[smawfl]

Looking very good pusscat!

Yep I'd test again later. Looks like you could be ov ing earlier than predicted..? Good luck if you Bd tonight too!

 

[smawfl]

Was that photo taken straight away or after you'd left it a while?

 

[Pusscat]

The photo was at least a couple of hours after. I need a fresh one to analyse! I'll do another at about 7 tonight! I'm not drinking anything in preparation! ! FF was predicting ov next Tuesday so I really think it's going to be before then

 

[smawfl]

Post a pic!

What Cycle Day would you be on if you hadn't mC? Would that tally with when you would have ov?

It's tricky to work out but I think my AF was only 4 days late so if I ov 4 days before ff is predicting that would make sense possibly? Hadn't thought about it that way before. So that would put ov on this Friday. My money's on Thursday or Friday. If the opk test is clearly positive later then we'll bd. If not then I think I'll wait until tomorrow. Plus there's something I want to watch on TV tonight

I'll post photo later

 

[smawfl]

love the BD scheduled around the tv

Yeah i wonder if that's the case, would be good if it is and you ov earlier than FF predicts!

How was the opk?

 

[Pusscat]

How was the opk?

I think it was darker than earlier but still not totally the same as control line. Think I'll record it as negative but might change it to positive if tomorrow's test starts to get lighter.

What do you think? Positive or negative? Was your positive clearly darker than the control? Photo taken within 10 mins of poas. Both photos of same test!

 

[smawfl]

That is much darker than earlier, i would definitely go for it tonight.. And if you can manage it tomorrow too..!

I think i would have recorded that as a positive.. the edge looks super dark, your surge is getting stronger.

Maybe take the opk twice again tomorrow and see how it looks?

 

[smawfl]

How are your temps looking?

 

[Pusscat]

Thanks smawfl The more I look at it the more it think it's a positive. Also been looking at tests on the Internet and most peoples positive tests look like mine today. Don't seem to be many that are actually darker than the control.

Temps are doing what they normally do before ov. Chart on left from this cycle. Chart on right from previous cycle. And I don't agree with the ov line ff put on last time. I think it was a day or so before then.

 

[smawfl]

Yep, definitely think OV is on it's way..

Do you ever get any ov pains? I've read so many women on here talk about them but I dont think I've had them?!

 

[Pusscat]

I think I do sometimes. Like a bit of a pulling feeling. I have felt it once today when I sat down.

Right.. better get on with the baby making. TV is going to have to wait!
