Hellobee Boards

@bushelandapeck: !

@bushelandapeck: congrats!

@dc yoga bee: @periwinklebee: @jhd: @2littlepumpkins: thank you!!! Feels surreal. Not sure how the heck I am going to manage three kids! Haha

@bushelandapeck: haha! When are you due???

@Mrs. Oreo: I haven't. Going to wait until I can take an FRER and the line is actually something he can see. Haha. Probably tomorrow or Tuesday. Gotta figure out a cute way to tell him other than "so I guess we need a bigger car...."

@2littlepumpkins: based on LMP its 2/2. Some of the apps say 1/29-2/2. My kids were both born on their due dates and they were based off my LMP but I used to ovulate a few days later so who knows.

@mrskansas: so does a light line mean you're getting close? I have literally no clue where I am in my cycle, so I don't want to test a whole bunch of times if I'm not close.

@bushelandapeck: oh yay near Valentines day!! so sweet.

@Bernieboo: Unfortunately, your OPK is negative. You always have LH in your system so there will always be a second line. A positive is one where the test line is as dark as or darker than the test line. Since you haven't had your first PP period, it's really hard to tell where you are in your cycle unless you test every day or temp. Here's a pic showing OPK progression from before and after ovulation. This person got their positive on CD 19 and probably ovulated the next day (the first negative after.) I hope things start moving along for you!

@Mrs. Oreo: I didn't! I'm getting a mani/pedi right now while the kids are napping(DH is home) and then I'm going to hit the store on my way back and grab a couple. I have one I'm going to use if I can manage a 4 hour hold

So 36-40 hours after my trigger shot would have been really early Friday morning (like 2 AM). Would Friday be ovulation day or 1 DPO?
I know it doesn't really matter but my obsessive self needs to know, lol.

@bhbee: Well at least that puts me at 4 DPO! I'll take it, haha.

@bushelandapeck: Yay! Congrats!

@bushelandapeck: I think that's a normal reaction to a positive pregnancy test, especially when it's for #3! You are going to do great though!

Anyone have any thoughts or reasoning to either testing out the trigger or not? Ideally I'd like to just wait until 13/14 DPO to test but in all honesty I don't know if I can resist unless I have my husband hide my cheapies. Help? Wednesday will be 7 days past trigger so I would probably start then.

@Mrs. Oreo: thank you!!

@Mrs. Oreo: I understand, it's scary. But it's a really good sign that your symptoms are intensifying! That's how I knew things were going well with my daughter... I went from a B at 4 weeks to a DD at 8 weeks!

@mrskansas: Lurking and wanted to answer your trigger questions
36 hours after trigger is when you ovulate. So Saturday at 2am would be 1dpo. For IVF I trigger 36 hours before my retrieval (like to the minute) so there's no way you can ovulate before the 36 hours.

As for testing out trigger, I think it just depends on personality. I'm an obsessive tester (I start at 8dpo or 3dp5dt) so I would want to test it out and then around 14dpo gauge if it's getting darker or lighter still. I think that if you don't test it out, you just need to test a few times after 13/14 dpo to ensure it's getting darker.

Good luck!

@Mrs. Oreo: Mine were HUGE when I was pregnant and BF but have since shrunk down to being non existent. haha. I'm sure my DH is looking forward to that perk as well.
