I was so sure we were out for the month because we didn't manage to DTD anytime leading up to O because I was really sick with a cold, but it worked out just fine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146376 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:55:24 +0000 Alivoo01 146376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Thanks for sharing your insight! </p> <p>@highwire: This sounds promising. We didn't baby dance yesterday, which would have been the 2 days after, but we did everyday prior so hopefully one of the swimmers got it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146375 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:55:11 +0000 MrsLilybugg 146375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I know right!!! I wish I didn't start TTC with all of this OPK business cause it makes it so confusing/stressful! But I'm very type A. No way I can just 'let it happen when it happens' ;) good luck! I don't think you missed your chance!!! His spermies can live inside you for a few days anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146373 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:54:09 +0000 MrsLilybugg 146373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: that gives me hope cause I didn't have ewcm on the day of my smiley face!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146367 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:51:08 +0000 DillonLion 146367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Try not to stress! We only BD'd on actual O day, and 2 days after that. Got pregnant that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146362 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:50:18 +0000 mrsjyw 146362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you O'ed on Monday. Between my three cycles, I noticed that my CM changes weren't all that reliable! And the third cycle when we got our BFP, EWCM didn't show up at all unlike the previous two months! I'd say go with your OPK test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146359 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:48:48 +0000 Alivoo01 146359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLilybugg: Oh man... why can't this baby making business just be straight forward! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146355 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:47:07 +0000 Alivoo01 146355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well crap! We BD on Monday, but didn't the past 2 days due to some things... Oi vey! Now I know what TTC is so stressful. Hope I didn't miss the window. Guess we'll find out in a few days. Keeping my fingers crossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146341 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:41:36 +0000 MrsLilybugg 146341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I'm going through ewcm / ovulation confusion too!! Usually I get the smiley face on CD10. I got NO smiley face on MOnday, but did get my 'usual' ewcm that 'usually' accompanies my smiley face.<br /> Smiley face arrived CD12! But no ewcm.<br /> I've been looking this up, and they say that some women get it before O, some after, so it's all still just confusing. I would just trust the OPK. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146297 Thu, 03 May 2012 14:22:54 +0000 Crisark 146297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe the OPK's are to pinpoint the 24 to 48 hr window of the hormone surge for when O should happen. You probably didn't O right on Monday but would have within a day or two of then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146245 Thu, 03 May 2012 13:59:14 +0000 heffalump 146245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never understand this stuff! Even though I chart and track everything when TTC, it's just all so confusing! My plan (when the time comes) is to just make sure to get in a lot of sexy time so we can't miss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-confusion#post-146239 Thu, 03 May 2012 13:57:14 +0000 Alivoo01 146239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took an OPK test on Monday and got the smiley face indicating a I'm ovulating. However, today, I noticed EW CM... I don't recall what type of CM I had on Monday, but I thought you only get EW CM when you're ovulating. Am I missing something?? I'm confused. Did I or didn't I ovulate on Monday?? </p>
