Welcome to the ttc in fall group..........AUTUMN ACORNS!!!!

[mouse_chicky]

I'm not sure babymaybe; are you testing close to O, do you think? I started CD 9 and they've never been completely white. Mine seemed to vary each day; some darker or thicker than the others; but the positive was very obviously darker than the test. Good luck! I had a horrible time figuring them out.

All I really know is that I'm CD 10. I'm taking Femara to induce ovulation and it was taken CD 3-7. My Dr said that I should O around CD 14 still which is only 4 days away! But I've ready stories where some O'd as early as CD 9 or as late as CD 17. My cycles have never been regular so I have no idea. But these OPK's haven't even had the slightest bit of pink to them. They're stark white at every angle under every light!

pixie thats great that he's doing his bit aswell

kelly how exciting! cant wait to hear what your having! Im going to guess girl

big hugs cheercoach fingers crossed AF doesnt appear. i worry aswell that it will take ages for it to happen, but you just got to try not to think like that as it will do nothing but get you down

Thank you...AF showed up today I guess I'm having 27 day cycles instead of my normal 28.

Kelly: yay!

Pixie: glad he's putting in a bit of effort too!!

To all: my wonderful SIL is possibly having a miscarriage. She is about 10 weeks and her first scan is Friday. Any prayers appreciated. Hoping it's a false alarm!

Sorry to hear...hopefully nothing is wrong. When I was pregnant w/Mackenzie I had bleeding in my 9th week. Went to ER and they diagnosed me w/threatened miscarriage. At my following appointment her heartbeat was strong. Thoughts and prayers are with your SIL.

I'm a bit shattered right now with AF showing up. I don't know if I can go through this for months on end. TTC Mackenzie was so difficult and I get so emotional...just don't know what to do or think right now.

Oh no i really hope there is nothing wrong

Alright those of you who do the OPK's. This is my first month using them and they have all been stark white (well except for the control line of course). Will the lines gradually start lightly appearing then get darker until it's darker than the control. Or can it just be stark white one day and dark and positive the next? I'm only CD 10 but I'm scared to death that just because there is literally NOTHING that I'm not going to O this month.

Thanks in advance!

If you test regularly you should get gradual lines until they turn into a positive. How often are you testing? If you do 2 a day then you know you cant really miss it, and when they start getting darker i did 3 a day just be properly sure, as when you get your darkest one (thats as or darker than control) you should O 12-36 hours from then. Try not to worry hun I only stated getting lines 3/4 days before x

Sorry to hear about af, I hope you get some good news this cycle!

Afm, started school yesterday and all the things I worried about weren't so bad, but wow it is going to be a hard, I don't know if I will be able to handle working at the same time, but I really don't want to change to a part-time position, I would really just prefer to go on maternity leave....

I am testing twice a day and still nothing. I used the fertility friend search and put in the search critea of PCOS, using OPK's, and taking Femara. It seemed that BFP's were achieved with O on CD9 through CD24. I will go absolutely crazy if I o on CD 24. I'm just too impatient to wait to ovulate.

 

[ttcbabyw1]

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for my SIL... as of today she is thinking it was a false alarm, as she had a big poo and is no longer having stomach pains!! Also, still feeling nauseous, so that's a good sign she's still pregnant! Tomorrow's the scan, so she'll know for sure then!

Babymaybe: my first cycle ttc was about 38 days long and I o'd on day 26!! How long are your cycles usually? How long have you been off BCP?

Also...OPK's are usually clearly positive. Not like a pregnancy test where "a line is aline...it's ok if it's a little fainter than the control line". On opk's, the test line should be as dark as the control line! (Don't know if that depends on brand...but that's how it is with the kind I use!)

 

[BabyMaybe917]

ttcbabyw1 My cycles have always been irregular. I stopped taking BCP in February and had no AF. So July I went to the dr and she put me on Provera to induce AF. I've had two cycles with Provera starting them. This is the first cycle that I'm also using Femara to induce ovulation. I was diagnosed with PCOS. So I have no idea how long my cycles would normally be but with the meds controlling my cycle it's as follows...

10 days of Provera then 3 days of waiting for AF follwed by CD1. Then CD 3-7 I take Femara. Dr said I should still O around CD 14 but from the research I've done on those with Femara CD9 - CD24. So who knows. But at the end of the TWW I take a pregnancy test and if it's a BFN then I start the Provera all over again. So my cycles in total will be 41 days long. But O won't be 41-14 because of the Femara and Provera. I hope that makes sense... The 10 days of Provera and 3 days of waiting are technically not CD's but rather an in between cycle time frame.

Stark white OPK again today. TMI Alert:

Spoiler

My cervix was super high and soft. I could barely reach it and it's definetely the softest I've ever felt. So hopefully that's a good sign!!!

 

[BabyMaybe917]

Oh I forgot to add about my day! One of my classes was Obstetrics. We talked about the natural family planning method which was charting, temping, etc. So I had a head start on all of that! Other's were so confused!!! Also, we talked about conception and pretty much everything I've spent the last few months researching. It was a fun class.

 

[Shabutie]

Hi girls, just wanted to say that I am happily married now. Weather was awful(so didnt get mnay pics outside), but overal was a perfect day.

Hope everyones been keeping okay, do we have anymore ?

My period started today after being so late last month, I was expecting it to arrive middle of the month, but it instead arrived around the usual time... strange!

Anyway here are some pics of us on our wedding day, hopeful I will get some better ones soon to show you, as we dont have the ones my grandad took yet.
