[melissasbump]

Wow im lost in all the techical stuff! lol I think i need to do some research on all of this, hopefully you guys can help coz im clueless x

 

[ooSweetPea]

mel if you need any help deciphering anything feel free to ask any of us!

 

[melissasbump]

Thanks Sweetpea i appreciate it. All im doing this month so far is working out when i OV, am hoping to leave the rest up to nature. If im still in this position next month, then il be getting the thermometer out and all sorts!

LOL Mel - I was the same!

I've just been on the TTC thread and people have posted photos of the opks - the cheapies and maybe the one I had the other day was positive if I compare it to some of the photos.
I didn't realise if I was dehydrated it affected cm, I will bear that in mind, clearly I've probably lost that chance this cycle so will do that next cycle. Oh well you live and learn!

hey don't be so negative, you may have well caught your little eggy this month! I'm not saying being dehydrated you can't get pregnant but it helps with the quality and amount of cm if you well hydrated! Fx'd for a biggr temp rise tomorrow x here's a pick of my +opk this month hope it helps, i took this and sent it dh as he loves to know when i have my surge!

Thats good to see - so you can see that one side is slightly darker than the other, I assumed that a positive one would be completely dark?

oh no no no no! It just has to look the same or darker (not completely dark), obviously test line is on the left in this pick! so do you think you test was + now??

 

[Hann12]

I'm not sure - it wasn't as wide as the line already there, it was the same colour as the dark line to the left side but then faded to the right, if that makes sense. It the darkest bit was a couple of mm wide, and then it faded as the width went to the right. Does that make sense? It wasn't as wide as yours is dark but as dark as yours is in the bit that was dark. If that makes sense?

 

[IsaacRalph]

yeah i think what your saying is, the lines were as dark as each other but the test line wasn't the same width as the contol line or it was the same width but a part of it just as dark and the rest fading?? i have had a few of these and actually this + opk did too but i look at it from a distance and if it looks vertually the same i consider it + and ff has always backed it up

 

[IsaacRalph]

and yes we are going mad!

 

[Hann12]

Yes thats exactly it - if I look at a distance it looks almost as dark as the control line but not quite but up close half of it looks as dark. I'm just hoping the temps go up and FF confirms. I'm still taking the opks though just in case as I didn't ov until CD 18/19 last month. I'm now really annoyed though as my DH was meant to be home an hour ago and still not back and no sign of him coming home yet which means he'll be really late and no BD. Didn't do it last night either so will have to go 3 days between them. I can only hope I have already ov because if I haven't then I'm losing a valuable chance. Its hard not to get upset with him when this happens!!

hey listen me @dh have known to set our alarm for 6 in the morning to bd and i expect him to perform after working all day and cycle miles home geting in after 11!

 

[Hann12]

ha ha you are great! I will try when he gets in, unfortunately he is out drinking I think (his work requires him to go to drinks events) and theres a chance he won't be home until gone midnight, he then gets up at 5.30. I don't think there is much chance he will DTD with me tonight. I'm going to say I'm annoyed though because I really don't want it to ruin any chance we might have! Yes I am going a bit crazy!

 

[MamaMac123]

Haha same here. DH knows if my stupid body ever manages to ovulate we BD no matter what! I don't care if he just ran a marathon (not that he does that sort of thing haha) but you know what I mean

You ladies crack me up. Our husbands better not complain about sex. ESP when they aren't complying lol.

Symptom Watch- just noticed I have this odd taste in my mouth. Like I've had foil in my mouth or something...

Ooo interesting. I've never heard of that being a symptom of pregnancy! Learned something new today haha hope its a good sign for u!!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

So I got lucky and was able to get into the doc right away tonight. They took a look and said everything looks fine. It's nothing to worry about and is probably just a cyst that is very normal and can come and go with hormone fluctuations. Maybe te Vitex is already havi it's way with my hormone levels and thats why the cyst appeared today. she just told me to have my regular doc follow up with me about it when I see her for my ultrasound results in a couple weeks. :whew: so relieved!!! Sometimes google is just no damn good! Lol

 

[HollySSmith]

Mamamac - I have exactly what you are describing on my cervix as well. It's called a Nubian cyst. They are harmless and can change size (get bigger or even disappear) depending on where you are in your cycle. I had mine checked (and regardless, I would get it checked to confirm), and it's benign. Once I gave birth mine had stayed permanently, but doesn't change much anymore. DH actually noticed it and was worried but it's completely normal.

I hope all you other ladies are lucky this month! I'm hoping the luck for this group continues!

Good luck girlies! Checking in every day!
