The 'OFFICIAL' Ex Mirena Thread

[BrandysBabies]

I have a question about OPK's as I am a little bummed. What is the window of time that they are positive? I took one just a few minutes ago and there is barely a line there are all! I also to an HPT and it was BFN. Do you think I already "o"ed? I am so worried that I have missed it or will miss it. Ugh! Do you think we are safe? We bded on the 14th, 15th, 17th, 18th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd and this morning. We will be bding again tonight and the rest of the week. I just want this so bad..............

His name is Pudge. He is the fattest little puppy I have ever seen! He eats everything in sight! Lol! He is a Westie/Maltese mix and I love him to pieces!!

 

[HarliRexx]

He is a cutie pie! is that one of the breeds that is better for people with allergies?

You may even want to slow it down on the BD. I've read that doing it too often can slow the down. Many doctors say the every other day approach is best. I didn't even BD on my day of O... just the day before and the day after and that's it.

 

[HarliRexx]

My doc even recommended we abstain for a few days before leading up to O if you know when it's gonna be.

Brandies, cute puppy!! I love animals, and have a dog and cat myself. I'm new to the OPK thing so I'm not much help unfortunately, but I've heard the window for it to show positive can be a small amt. of time so dont worry what the OPK said.

Hello to Pip, welcome


Congrats, Kylarsmom on your

Hope everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Yes, both Westies and Maltese are hypoallergenic. Lol, did I spell that right!

Oh, I hope we havent BDed too much! I was just so scared of missing our chance this month that we maybe got a little carried away! Lol!

 

[curly123]

Hi - i bd'd almost every day so don't worry!

[MEGARICE03]

I read in the new version of what to expect that doing it everyday increases your odds, contrary to prior belief. ??? I did skip bd yesterday bc we were so tired so hopefully the is some build up for today! On one of my tickers it has today as my ov day so we'll see. The weird thing was I was spotting for a few days very mucusy red. Hopefully that's a good sign. HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

 

[Calasen]

I'm having no luck with OPK's still not got a positive so just enjoying ourselves riught now and BD'ing as much as we want and can

 

[MEGARICE03]

I read somewhere that the ewcm happens right BEFORE O, right? I don't have any today so I'm guessing maybe today is the day? Sooo, the turkey isn't the only thing getting stuffed today! Hopefully we'll plant a seed.

 

[MrsPOP]

Oooh, another BFP! Well done Kylarsmom!!!!! Come over to the Mirena Graduates thread!!!

As far as EWCM, I had it for 12 days but only Ov'd on the last day so I wouldnt totally rely on it. The only think I could rely on as an Ov sign was OPKs and my CBFM. I ovulated 'late' 9day 18, day 19 and day 17 each cycle) so I wouldnt guarentee you Ov on day 14 ladies. Just keep peeing on those OPKs...and dont use FMU either as they will give false results. I tested twice a day, around lunch and around tea...better chance of catching that positive.

As far as 'too much BD'...Ive seen a documentary recently with an eminent fertility expert who mentioned semen quality and quantity was improved with 24-48 hours between ejaculate.

I BD'd the morning of the day before Ov and the evening of the day of Ov. We also BD'd the evenings of the 2 days after but I think it was either the day before or the day of which caught that eggy.

Update - Im finally Ovulating!!!!!

I cried!!!!

My womany bits are having a disco! I hope its our month, and lots of babydust to you all, finally after having my mirena removed things are returning to normal a bit

[lauraclili]

Yay for ovulation!

I'm gearing up too so here's hopin'!

[MEGARICE03]

So, I'm still spotting. Really weird. Still red and mucusy. I don't know what that means, but here's wishing for good things!

 

[pip7890]

Thanks for the kind words and support ladies. I feel tonnes better knowing that others are experiencing similar things to me.

It's now 45 days since my LMP and 41 days since the Mirena was removed. I just wish I could get AF out of the way and then we can get on with it!

My biggest concern is that maybe I've left it too late. My mum had a hysterectomy in her 30s so I've no idea when she would have gone through the menopause.

Welcome to all the new members, your now a part of what seems to be one hell of a lucky thread!!!!!

Brandysbabies that is such a gorgeous lil pup!! Hows he/she settling in?? Im hoping on us getting one when I start my maternity! Give my son something to focus on when the boobs and nappies are flying around!!lolxx

 

[lucyoz34]

testing the new ticker

 

[lucyoz34]

YEY!!!lol

 

[BrandysBabies]

Okay, I know this is waaaay too early, but I am keeping up the PMA and trying to pass the time during this AWFUL tww! Lol! So, I started playing around thinking of ways to tell hubby if (no, WHEN) I get my BFP this cycle. Tell me what you think? After the little movie, click on the note in the window! It takes a couple minutes to load, but well worth it! The one I will be showing hubby wont have ads and will fill the entire computer screen! Whatcha think?
