It went up from 97.9-98.1 on Friday, and was 98.0 today. I am calling myself 2DPO.....and now incredibly freaked out that my Luteal Phase might be super short based on when I'm supposed to get my period (or....FX....an implanted embryo?!). It's always "something," isn't it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1372970 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 09:20:48 +0000 theotherstark 1372970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: Ugh, I'm new to OPKs too. They're so confusing! I don't think you should panic, though - my box says after a positive, ovulation should occur within 12-36 hours, so I think it's likely you caught the front end and then have gotten positives since then. It's possible it might be taking a bit longer to ovulate, too? Or something? I don't know :) Ha. Our bodies are so mysterious sometimes. Did you get a temp rise this morning?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1372091 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:06:39 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1372091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: 3rd smiley in a row today.....now I'm beginning to panic. What the heck is going on?! So, uh, 3 positives....FX for a temp rise tomorrow so I can naively believe last night's BDing was actually at the right time. Oy vey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1371211 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:34:32 +0000 prettylizy 1371211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a :) two mornings in a row with both pregnancies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1371197 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:27:44 +0000 theotherstark 1371197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: HA, it totally is! I was just thinking this last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1370185 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:56:06 +0000 Miss Sarah 1370185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: I"m happy to hear about your "almost positive," because that's what I got today. I think I'll test again tonight and for sure tomorrow. And BD just in case. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1370036 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:18:17 +0000 Mrs. Chickadee 1370036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically have two days of positives, sometimes three. Then I usually let myself get two days of negatives and then stop for the cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369954 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:58:41 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1369954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm new to OPKs, and I got a positive (smiley face) on Tuesday afternoon, although my line didn't look dark. I also got a smiley face yesterday afternoon, and "my" line looked darker than the control line. However, this morning there was no temperature raise...I am planning on testing this afternoon to see if it's negative, which I think means O has already occurred? Shouldn't my temperature go up? This all is way more confusing than my junior high Sex Ed class led me to believe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369713 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:04:11 +0000 theotherstark 1369713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loving the responses - thanks, everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369602 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:38:10 +0000 Bao 1369602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With this baby I got 3. Positive on the 27th, 28th and morning of the 29th. Then by that evening it was negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369588 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:32:57 +0000 mrs. 64 1369588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I knew O was imminent I would test twice a day. I usually got positive AM, PM, and next day AM or PM, next day AM and PM, so 3 total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1369584 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:30:57 +0000 lioneyes 1369584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowdrop so which day do you count as O? The day with positive am/very positive pm, or the next day with positive am/negative pm?</p> <p>that's similar to me, but i go back and forth on which day should count as O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1368005 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 17:00:50 +0000 Snowdrop 1368005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: I get almost positive then positive the next day am then very dark positive pm then postive the next day followed quickly by a negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366313 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:16:20 +0000 Smurfette 1366313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only tested in the afternoon, so 1 a cycle. The next afternoon my smiley face would be gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366308 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 10:14:04 +0000 littlek 1366308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually test twice a day, so I will usually get 2 or more positives over the 2 day period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366243 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:55:54 +0000 bhbee 1366243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: yeah people are really different so you'll just have to see over time how it works for you. mine is not gradual at all - it's very negative, positive for a short time, very negative again. of course I also have fertility issues so could be related. many people get that gradual build-up and ramp-down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366200 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:46:58 +0000 theotherstark 1366200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: So interesting! I always try to see if I can feel O, but I can never tell if I am actually feeling it, or if I'm just over-analyzing every twinge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366187 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:44:54 +0000 theotherstark 1366187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: Interesting! I actually just started using OPKs (because I was curious), so I am fascinated by all of this! :happy: I was really intrigued to read (on a few other threads as well) that you get a negative so quickly; I would have thought it was a more gradual progression. The things you learn from these threads! Love it. </p> <p>I got a positive yesterday evening (test line same color as control), and this morning the test line was darker than the control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366178 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:43:16 +0000 septca 1366178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use FMU and usually get a + two days in a row. FF always think the day after the first + is O bc it assumes afternoon testing, but sometimes I feel it on the first day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366158 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:36:00 +0000 bhbee 1366158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stop testing if I get a positive, so I put 1. really it's 0-1 because I have a naturally short surge and anything close to positive means I would get a positive in +-12 hours if I tested more frequently. on the few occasions I have kept testing it always goes more negative pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-positive-opks-do-you-generally-get#post-1366112 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:21:32 +0000 theotherstark 1366112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious! :) And because polls are fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-period#post-994099 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:55:34 +0000 coheed_sm27 994099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you!!

Since you basically had protected sex, your chances of having conceived are slim.</p> <p>There are a few of possibilities:<br /> -You O'd later than normal and that is why AF is late.<br /> -You O'd later than you normally do and are currently pregnant, but it's too early to show up on a HPT.<br /> -Your cycle is just wonky because of stress, change in diet/exercise, medication, or for no particular reason at all.</p> <p>Having a weird cycle happens to every woman every now and then.</p> <p>I say test once a week until you either get a BFP or AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irregular-period#post-993970 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 16:54:44 +0000 coheed_sm27 993970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey there! First post ever!!<br /> And there is a bit of tmi as well..</p> <p>For starters I always start on the 22 of each month. I'm not sure when my ovulation occurs but I'm guessing we had sex when it was happening.<br /> It was either the 7 or 10 of July me and my bf had sex. We didn't use a condom until he was "about ready". I am not on any bc.<br /> Well my period was 6 days late and when I did start (on the 28 of July) it was light for me which is three days when im usually on it for 6/7 days (a tampon a day, no clots except on first wipe on the 28 which was the size of a sun flower seed seed). I took a test on the 22,24 and on Sunday. All I got was bfn :(<br /> I've been having some light cramping, random pangs of pain in my breasts, a stuffy nose here and there, nausea that comes in waves, and diarrhea one minute constipated the next. And I'm gassy but mostly at night (which is odd for me).<br /> Do you think I've been testing too soon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endometrial-biopsy-same-time-as-lap#post-772403 Fri, 10 May 2013 02:23:50 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 772403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know if it's possible to do an endometrial biopsy during Laproscopic exploratory surgery? </p> <p>My doc said she might wanna do an E.B. at some point soonish, but I'm not really all about that. I've read it's really painful, and I don't think they are big here on knocking you out unless it's really necessary. </p> <p>My old doc had mentioned doing LAP surgery at some point, but my new doc hasn't said anything about that. </p> <p>If she pushes the EB, is it ridiculous to suggest that we just do LAP as well, and do the biopsy at the same time? Is that even possible? </p> <p>And if you had an endometrial biopsy, what was your experience? </p> <p>Thanksssss! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-tests-i-failed-my-glucose-test#post-268058 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 17:36:16 +0000 photomommy 268058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard the same... that many women fail the first and pass the 2nd. I failed the first and was high enough that they were nice enough to say let's not make yo go through the 2nd... you have GD. If you do have it, don't worry. It's a pain, but not terrible, and it will very likely go away as soon as you give birth. It does give you a much better appreciation for what you do eat! Ps. m dad is Type 1 diabetic, so my chances of getting it were higher than most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-tests-i-failed-my-glucose-test#post-267490 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 09:14:11 +0000 wheres_c 267490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gracecat: Oh no that sucks! When do you go for the 3-hour?</p> <p>My 1-hour is today and i'm nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-tests-i-failed-my-glucose-test#post-267417 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 08:15:56 +0000 hilsy85 267417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I failed my 1 hour and passed the 3 hour. It was really not that bad! Just make sure to bring water/snacks so you can eat immediately after you're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-tests-i-failed-my-glucose-test#post-267355 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 07:11:31 +0000 purrpletulips 267355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I failed my one-hour this pregnancy and had to do the 3-hr. It wasn't bad (except realize it is actually 4 blood draws not 3, I didn't think about the one before you drink the glucose solution). If you have a tablet PC or smartphone, make sure it is charged. I did mine at a lab where they would do the blood draw, give me the time for the next draw then send me to wait in the general waiting area; luckily they had free wi-fi so I watched Netflix on my Kindle Fire to pass the time. However DH had used the KF last and didnt' charge it so the last hour seemed to take forever since I didn't have anything to do.<br /> I know others have had different experiences where they were in a special waiting area that had a TV, etc. You might want to check out the lab accommodations beforehand if you haven't been there. Oh and the lab I was at was FREEZING, they ended up giving me a warmed blanket because I was shivering by the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-tests-i-failed-my-glucose-test#post-267327 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 04:11:11 +0000 gracecat 267327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just found out I failed the hour test too. I had no idea milk had a lot of sugar! I had honey nut Cheerios and like just before so I hope that's the real reason. Sigh... </p>
