Hi guys! I'm home! Went over and spent the day at the springs. DH is out of the dog house, as much as I hate it it's hard for me to stay too mad at him OPK's never got darker Also; I only had that one brief instance of EWCM the other day, so thinking that it won't be positive for another couple of days at least, looks like another CD18 O for me, you guys will be half way through your wait before I even O!

Dmom, I've used the answer one's, I'll post a pic in a minute, it's one of the tests that only get dark on one side IYKWIM? Hang on, I'll just show you!

And this is assuming they are the dipstrips, are they?

They are the dipstrips, I've used the midstream; those are the ones that gave me the lines that made me think I Ovd early- they were over 50% dark. The DH came home from the store and said, "I don't think you've tried these yet"...lol.

Mammag- I see you got your positive on FMU...are these strips better using it instead of later in the day?

 

[dachsundmom]

What about that one between CD14-15?

 

[mammag]

I wouldn't recommend it unless you are very used to your bodies Lh surge length and strength, I knew it was going to be positive that day because of the test that was so dark the night before as well as all of the other Ovulation symptoms I was having, strong pains, tender boobs, had a really strong O last month, but even so you can tell I didn't fully trust the FMU test so I took some dollar tree tests to confirm, and as you can see, my surge lasts all day but is much darker by evening and gone by night.

I typically carry my surge for a full 24 hours and have physical symptoms that go with it. I must say, my favorite tests are the One Step tests. They have never failed me. The strip on these Answer ones is very thin.

Good morning girls!

I hope everyone had better nights than were had previously...as for me, after a day with the in laws, I pretty much passed out cold, lol. This is after I played a round of Angry Birds; IDK if any of you have ever played before, but I am totally addicted, lol.

Wanabeamama sorry to hear about your night it does get emotional at times I know. Iv had times where I'm crying and don't even know why, DH finds it rather funny lol I don't. (At that time) but then later we both laugh about it.
Ah! And I too must confess my love for angery birds! Lol
We wer e going to watch that UFC fight as well but the weather coorperated and we took the kids to the drive in (kung fu panda 2!) It was fun but we were up til 2am.

So I need some advice: my FMU with the OPKs is ALMOST +, if I test mid day its -. Could the strength of the LH just be stronger in the am(hence the darker line) and I just haven't ovulated yet? I'm only on CD13 so its still kinda early.
Mammag I saw you had acouple that were almost + days before your surge.
I def can tell when I'm ovulating (I get really strong signs and symptoms) this is my first month temping and testing to see if my boby signs match up with the strips and chart. . . . I'm so scared I'm not going to ovulate this month.

 

[mammag]

That one that isn't marked was an FMU, which doesn't really count cuz it can be darker than it's supposed to be with FMU IYKWIM, it wasn't positive, but it was pretty dark, the ones during the day were always pretty light until I got my surge. OPK is STILL negative today, with no O symptoms in sight? Which sucks, I'd already had EWCM for days by this time last cycle, hope my O isn't super late Don't know why my O varies so much, it's so frustrating, DH still didn't get any last night, I know I'm not fertile so cutting him off wasn't that big of a deal (at least not to me )

We were in the car yesterday and DH started talking to me about adopting! I listened to him and all but I'm just not ready to go there yet, still feel like we can make another baby on our own It makes me sad that he's starting to think we might not.

What days did you get to As long as you have in the last 4 days your so still in, It's hard on our hubby's too, I hate it when they give excuses though (i.e. you should have started something) sometimes I wish we could just smack them!! I'm sorry you had a bad night
