TTC#3 in August...looking for a buddy

[Treykid3]

Jojo, 10 DPO on your chart, could be your implatation dip. Keep hope, it looks good.

I think if you can handle the bfn from testing early and you can afford the tests, then test away!!! Yea, should get AF on the 30th so fingers crossed. Got pics of my EPT gonna post so you guys can look at it. I was looking at some in the BFP gallery and I can't see them at all but everyone else can so won't hurt to have other people eyes take a look. Fingers xx'd Trey! This is gonna be our month!

Hey ladies, put up pics of the test from 8dpo where you can't really tell but there is a second line and its pink in real life and the one from today which looks really negative! tell me what you think! It under the preggo test gallery under "Please talk me out of testing"

hi all...:wave: well i feel much better today, we DTD last night so thats today covered!! ...as for the OPK maybe it was the brand i cant recall what make they were when i had my son, but today i gave in ..i was shopping with my LO and walked past the OPKs and thought "why not"...got home and did one straight away...pics attatched are what i got at 4mins. i know theyre are NEG but i cant see a feint line does this mean O has passed or is imminent??

my opks normally look like that a couple of days before ovulation xx

I’ve been doing some reading and decided to wait until at least 8 DPO to test. Technically, HCG levels are non-existent until the earliest 8 DPO. I went to buy some HPTs from the Dollar Store and only got 3! I was too embarrassed to get more! Come to find out these tests are just as reliable and more sensitive than the name brand ones that are $20+.

 

[mothercabbage]

your ticker confusing me... it says your 13dpo....?

That's what I saw too. But, I've seen so many women on here that get a real faint or bfn w/ dollar store tests until like 15 dpo but with others get the bfp earlier! So, I guess there's good and bad info about each test. I, personally can't see spending all that money on the other tests when the dollar store ones have always worked out for me! So, obviuosly your ticker is wrong. How many DPO are you?

Sorry Cabbage….I never adjusted it. I OV’d late so it’s not correct. I had a lot of stress around my usual OV time (the egg was too scared to come out!) so it was delayed. I thought I wouldn’t OV at all but to my surprise…

According to my chart I am 6 DPO, today.

 

[Treykid3]

Oops...I'm 7 DPO. I fixed my ticker.

 

[Treykid3]

[jojosmami]

Morning ladies,
I'm actually feeling ok and my PMA is quite good! Thanks

I ordered some ovulation tests and basal thermometer off of bay yesterday and they came this morning so will start charting tomorrow. I think I will try the SMEP this month. Has anyone tried it? Apparently you start BD every other day from CD8 then start doing OPK on CD10 when you get a positive OPK you BD that day and every day for 3 days then one day break then one more day then wait until AF is due then test! Of course I might test before then

Jojo have u tested again yet? Fx'd for you still! Just remember I am here for you!

Caz your symptoms sound good, fx'd for you too Hun!

Trey are you testing today or trying to wait? Fx'd sweety.

Cabbage how are you feeling? Are u still doing the OPK?

[jojosmami]

Morning ladies! Well, still no sign of AF, but did have a temp drop so doesn't look good. Will test again tomorrow if she doesn't show up.
@Coral, thanks hunni Glad to hear that your keeping up your PMA? SMEP? WHat that? I guess you explained the process but never heard of that.I want to look it up and try it.
@Cabbage, Hunni, when I was doing my OPKs the same thing happened.Just keep and doing the OPK and you'll get your BFP!
@Caz how you feeling? ANy new symptoms?
@Trey, did you test this am?

 

[mothercabbage]

im not buying anymore OPK when these have run out...i just cant cope with it, its making me edgy..thinking when will i O or have i already...i think ill use the rest(3 left) and thats that...gonna leave testing until 16th Oct if i can, thats when AF is due.. lets see if i can!!!!!
n to all xxxx

 

[coral11680]

Sorry jojo I know how ya feel but it's not over yet! Try to stay positive Hun.

SMEP is sperm meets egg plan google it, there is also a thread on here. Worth a try I say!

 

[Treykid3]

Morning!
Coral, I think u will really like charting. Puts mind at ease as far as if u have OVd or not and exactly when. Did u sign up w FF?
Cab, u might have already OVd. Rest assured u have BD covered. Just keep BDing until u get ur BFP or AF shows to make sure u have it completely covered. I agree w u on the OPKs. They made me crazy too.
Jojo, ur temp drop looks suspicious...just wait to see what tmrw brings. Implantation can occur 12 DPO too. Are u ok?

I tested and got a BFN. No surprise. It was fun to test though. I had some bad cramps last night. I just knew AF was coming.... still cramping today but not so bad. I will test again thurs if I make it.

Caz, how are u feeling? Any new symptoms?

Oh! I got my reading back. She said I would conceive in Dec. That part I didn't like but she mentioned some other things I hope r true. Oh, and ill have a girl. She is the 3rd who sd that ill have a girl.
