@Sams Mom: right?! I dipped a second one just to watch it come up
-
@LAZB: the only positives I've seen in 8 months
opks are much more rewarding than hcg tests for me
-
@MamaBear87: true that!
So I just went back and counted on my calendar... I'm CD 12 today, I should get a positive today or tomorrow. I thought for some reason I wasn't this far into my cycle (don't ask me how my obsessive ass lost track of that after 16 cycles of this crap). So now I'm worried because I've been a little lackadaisical about sex because I thought I had more time. We did it Saturday night (CD 10) and Wednesday night (CD 7) which is probably too far out to count. Annnnnd my husband went back on night last night, and his next days off are W-F (CD 14-16 w/ O on 13 or 14)
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
@MamaBear87: @Sams Mom: ok, crazy pants here, back again. I am actually feeling better because I looked and am really only 12 dpo, so the median hcg on betabase is 50, so not far off. Now, I will prepare to obsessively stare at a pee stick tomorrow morning
-
@LAZB: this is a crazy pants judgement free zone, because obviously you bore witness to my pee stick drama last cycle.
Being a day earlier than expected does make those numbers look better!
-
@MamaBear87: Those OPKs look great!
-
@LAZB: Those numbers are fine for a 12 dpo!
-
@Kaohinani: I hope not, my heart canβt take it! Lol, jk, but thank you, you are right
-
@Sams Mom: haha this is where boring baby making only morning sex comes in
@LAZB: you're fine! All the waiting and uncertainty of all this makes us all crazy
@Kaohinani: I've actually got bases covered today, twice actually
-
I'm making a robe and baby clothes for a friend who's pregnant today. All the
-
@MamaBear87: I don't even get morning sex out of his shift βΉοΈ he's 9:30 P- 7:30 A. If I can distract our son long enough, I can wake him up early and get one in tonight.
I'm not too proud to admit that I have once let my son have a little bit of Dr Pepper and turned on his favorite (annoying to me) Thomas the Train movie on Amazon so we could do get a quicky in
Also, one of my best friends baby showers was there day before my period was supposed to start. I really wanted to bow out, but actually managed not to test early just so I wouldn't be a downer at her shower
-
@Sams Mom: oh we totally will turn on a show and we used to do that even before we were ttc
This is one of my husband's coworkers wives so more acquaintance friend than call each other when we get positive test friends so well see how I feel
-
@MamaBear87: those are awesome lines!
-
@MamaBear87: LOL. Are you trying to make a baby or bunnies?!?
-
@Jessiemuller88: opks are weirdly rewarding when you get a good positive!
-
@Kaohinani: there's some research that suggests fresher sperm are less in number but better quality. And we were newlyweds when we got pregnant with our daughter so I feel like there may be validity to that research
Haha don't joke about the bunnies. I live in terror well end up with twins
-
@MamaBear87: OK, no more bunny jokes.
(Couldn't resist.I read that as well. We stick to once in the morning (4 or 5 am) and once at night (after both kids are in bed) most days during my fertile period .... I can never remember to mark the second time on my ff. Anyway, my husband is getting old, *smirks* it takes too long every time. I'd have to practice tantric sex to make back-to-back sessions possible.
-
@Kaohinani: oh I feel you on that. Sometimes I want to say could you just hurry up?
-
@MamaBear87: I completely understand!
-
@Kaohinani: the other day hubby told me "I try not to make it too fast." Dude those are thoughts for a kid-free vacation!
-
@Kaohinani: @MamaBear87: I literally told my husband to "quit dicking around because we only have 11 more minutes of Thomas the Train left." tonight. π€£
-
@Kaohinani: @MamaBear87: also, I asked him if he thought he'd be able to do it twice in an hour "because science". He seemed unsure
-
@Sams Mom: that's hilarious! Making a baby is so romantic
Some men have a short refractory period, and some don't. I'm still on the fence about whether my hubby having a short one is a good thing. Sometimes I want to shove him out of bed when he wants to go again -
Congrats to everyone who has had good news already! It looks like a pretty lucky month.
FF says I'm DPO 7 today. I had some spotting late in the evening on DPO 4 followed by a temp dip lasting for two days. The temp went back up this morning. That was the first time in living memory I had mid cycle spotting. I usually have spotting up to three days before AF. It also looked nothing like pre AF spotting.
I know it's way too early to be implantation but it's still weird.Luckily I'm on vacation and it's going to be a stress free three weeks for me, workwise at least...
-
@Sams Mom:
-
I'm either 7 or 8dpo today. Temp keeps going up and up so hopefully that's a good sign. I'm trying to hold off on testing until Sunday morning!
-
@skinnycow: I'm not familiar with Ava's charts, does it not have a total biphasic shift?
Hopefully the continued rise leads to a BFP!
-
@skinnycow: just be warned I've had some cycles where my temp is through the roof and still nada so try not to read it for pregnancy
@Sams Mom: because ava is skin temp the shift is generally more gradual.
-
@Sams Mom: Mine is always really gradual like this but usually plateaus after a few days.
-
@MamaBear87: Yeah my temp was really high last month and nothing, so not getting my hopes up!
-
So I didn't get a positive OPK last night like anticipated. Maybe my OB will finally get his wish of making me ovulate later on the 150 Clomid dose.
I better get pregnant this cycle because I don't know if I can deal with the hot flashes again.
-
@Sams Mom: Isnβt that interesting that it makes you ovulate later? It always makes me ovulate earlier. I really hope this is your month!
-
@skinnycow: You are really patient! But your templates good!
-
@LAZB: I had a 25/26 day cycle with ovulation on CD 11 or 12 before Clomid. The first cycle bumped me out to CD 14 and maintained; ever since he's been happy I'm minimum 14, but was hoping for later
-
I was trying not to overly obsess this morning, but Iβll go ahead and post my test progression because I canβt hold off LOL. I think today is darker? What do you think?
-
@LAZB: absolutely! they look great!
-
@LAZB: I'm not usually - I always start testing at 8 dpo! We'll see how long I can make it.
And yes, today is definitely darker for you!
-
@LAZB: much darker! Yay!
-
@Sams Mom: @skinnycow: @Jessiemuller88: π€π€π€
-
@LAZB: looks darker than yesterday and significantly darker than 11dpo
