The OPK Thread ---> One BFP already! x

[nikalicious]

Sorry for the BFN! FX'd that you get your BFP ina couple days!

I almost tested this morning but thought, No! It's too early silly! Especially considering my test yesterday at the doctor's was negative. She told me if AF doesn't show, test in a week. I am going to try to hold out as long as possible.



Last night I was SO fed up with the TWW. These cramps are driving me nuts and I want to know what the heck is going on- either a BFP or AF. I thought I kept smelling bleach at the restaurant as well and was SO gassy. We went to dinner with friends and another friend was there who is due any day now. Made me want a babybump

Good for you for not testing this morning! I am planning to test next on the 1st. I'm with you though, I'd love to know what the heck is going on with my body. Hope we both see those BFPs soon!

 

[seaweed eater]

How's everyone doing today? I tested this morning, negative again...I'm going absolutely crazy. I'm having heartburn for the first time in my life, very localized cramps in my uterus, and a body temperature of 99 during the day (unusual for me). If it's all in my head I don't know what I'm going to do.

 

[nikalicious]

I am right there with you seaweed!! I am gassy, bloated and these cramps won't stop. I tested with FRER and negative. My temp dropped this morning so I think I might be out, but we'll see what tomorrow brings. I freaking hate this waiting game, driving me nuts!

 

[seaweed eater]

Yeah, it's the worst. My temp dropped today too but I took it too early in the morning (FF discounted it), and it's too soon for AF for me. Fingers crossed you see a positive really soon!!

 

[nikalicious]

Thanks Seaweed! FX for you too that you see a positive! If you take your temp too early, you can adjust it ---> https://www.whenmybaby.com/basalbodytemperature.php

I have done this when I had to wake up early and I have heard others say that it is pretty accurate.

 

[seaweed eater]

Oh cool! Thanks, I didn't know about that. That's a pretty big difference.

BTW, new ticker, right? I like it

 

[nikalicious]

Yep! Thanks! I decided I didn't like the other one, because it wasn't accurate.

I have been feeling like crap all day. Taking down Christmas stuff and I feel exhausted even with the slightly activity. Feeling deflated and just want AF to get here already. I told myself I wouldn't get like this and would just be laid back about the whole thing. But here I am, worrying about it too much!

I thought of your post last night as I was stuck at a party until 4 AM because I couldn't find a ride back earlier than that...I felt so exhausted and so fed up with the TWW. Had a good cry about it, even. And the frustrating thing is that, like you, I really wanted to stay positive and relaxed about this, but it just felt impossible.

And then...I got lucky this morning with a ! I tested first after waking up with just a few hours' sleep, and I couldn't tell whether there was a line there and was really too tired to focus my eyes enough to tell. Slept a bit more, asked my husband if he could see something, he agreed it was too close to call so I decided to try again...and got a much clearer pink line.

It's so weird because on one hand I feel like "well, yeah...I already knew I was pregnant," but on the other hand it's totally surreal!

Nik, I hope you see your really soon and we can be bump buddies. Fingers crossed that this is your cycle!! And to Haylee and the rest of the wonderful ladies on this thread, a very happy and healthy new year and of course lots of !!

 

[nikalicious]

OMG!!! CONGRATS HUN!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!! Am laying in bed and considering testing. My temps were up this morning higher than yesterday.

Think I should test?

I am thrilled you got your BFP!! Definitely got teary! Have you told DH yet?!

 

[seaweed eater]

Awww, thank you hon! I'm really hoping this is your month, too, and we both get sticky beans. Your chart looks great to me.

I did tell my husband...I had him help me squint at both of the tests this morning He's been hearing a lot about my symptoms and how I'm feeling about the TWW, so we're on the same page. He's thrilled, of course. I don't want to tell any parents until I've got some more positive HPTs and maybe even a blood test, but we'll tell them soon too.

Please update right away if you test! Fingers crossed for you!!!

 

[nikalicious]

So I got my lazy butt out of bed and tested w/ FRER...negative. I had been having AF style cramps yesterday a little, but I'm still going to think positive until AF arrives!

Of course I will be future bump buddies with you and! I would love it if this is our cycle and I am trying to stay positive. I think a squealed a little when i read your post. and DH looked at me funny. I am over the moon for you! Stick little bean stick!! I am SO happy for you!

DH scolded me yesterday for testing early and told me to stop worrying. It's so hard when there are all these things going on with your body and you have no idea what they all mean.

 

[nikalicious]

FX my high temp jump this morning is implantation and i get a positive tomorrow! That would be amazing!

Congratulations Seaweed eater so chuffed for you. What a fab way to start a new year xxxxx

 

[seaweed eater]

Thank you both so much. Sorry about the negative, Nik, but 11 DPO is still quite early! All my POAS experiences so far have taught me that the negatives don't matter at all, only the positives whenever they should come. Sorry, so corny today! Please keep me posted. Fingers crossed for you as always.

 

[nikalicious]

Been feeling like crap all day with nausea and feeling really tired. I didn't even stay out late last night! Still having cramps but no CM. Had a good talk with DH this morning about everything. I am not going to test again until Tuesday I think.

What other symptoms did you have seaweed? I hope mine aren't just in my head. I guess you were right when you smelled implantation bleeding!

 

[seaweed eater]

I don't think so; I think it was too early. That was like 4-5 DPO right? I think implantation was probably 7 DPO since that's when I started feeling cramps in a particular spot on my left side. I do think my CM has smelled a bit different than usual this LP...a few sources on the internet say that's a thing, but it could easily be in my head!

In addition to the nausea/digestive trouble and the possible weird CM thing, I've had cramping basically every day since ovulation, gas/bloating, low grade fever during the day (at least both times I've measured), watery CM, heartburn, and breast soreness...most of them started around 6-7 DPO, except for cramping which has been throughout my LP and the last three which started a bit later.

Oh, and I've also been both tired and emotional, but I don't really believe that's from being pregnant! I've been traveling and stressed and I don't think how I've been feeling is out of proportion to that.

I'm glad you had a good talk with your DH, but so sorry you are not feeling well. I don't want to symptom spot on your behalf but it all sounds good, and that's a nice temp spike today! Wishing you calm and positivity until Tuesday.

 

[Haylee.]

Congrats seaweed, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! bnb has been cruel to me the last few days so I havent really had a chance to get on here!~ I am so stoked for you! Yay !! And Nik I've got every finger, toe, leg, arm and whatever else crossed for you !! I hope tuesday brings that beautiful bfp for you

I got my +ive opk yesterday but my chart is confusing lol I guess I will wait and see, I have a feeling my opk will be positive again today and if that is the case, maybe my temp will drop tomorrow morning. Goodluck Nik, Congrats seaweed!! and Hi laurs :wave: Hope all is well xxxx

 

[seaweed eater]

Haylee, you don't really need a temp drop before ovulation -- it's a typical pattern but what matters more is a sustained rise afterward. Wow, you are moving into the TWW so soon! Very exciting!!

 

[Haylee.]

Thanks!!!
Ha I really suck at charting, I just hope and pray I detect O I'm so wrapped for you lovely, How many weeks are you? Are you 3 weeks 6 days? I'm going off your ticker
