I was really sick last week, so we didn't do much of any BDing...but we did BD on O day, and every other day since then. Not sure when I actually ovulated and I've been suspecting that I have a shorter LP, so hopefully we'll just keep trying until AF arrives (or, you know, doesn't) and hopefully we didn't miss the "window". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/3#post-87075 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:06:42 +0000 Adira 87075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: Eeeek! Can you do it in the morning or something?? I'd hate for you to miss your opportunity. I've never used OPKs, but I think they become positive only a day or two before you O, so you really don't want to miss these days I don't think! Either way, good luck!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/3#post-87073 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:06:12 +0000 MrsLilybugg 87073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: Good luck and congrats on your Positive OPK! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/3#post-87057 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 16:44:24 +0000 lilteacherbee 87057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally got a positive OPK today on CD 34!!! Its my first cycle off BC pills and I was beginning to think it was going to take months! So relieved! We BD'd last night and the night before, but we can't tonight and possibly tomorrow night...eeek :/ DH works 2:30 pm until midnight all this week and I'm at my mom's until tomorrow night. Hopefully it will work out.</p> <p>Good Luck to everyone else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/3#post-87042 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 16:21:02 +0000 Adira 87042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: Thanks!

Good luck this month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/3#post-87030 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 16:14:08 +0000 Adira 87030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: Eeeeh, that's exciting!!! Good luck!!!</p> <p>We're out this cycle (AF showed up yesterday), but at least so far my cycles have been shortish (~28 days), so I get to start up again soon. This time around, hubs and I are going to try to BD everyday starting CD10, so hopefully we can keep up with that until I O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/3#post-87013 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 15:57:59 +0000 GreenThumb 87013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay - I just got a definite + OPK at CD14 (yesterday was close, but not quite +). We've been on a good BD run so far this cycle, so just need to put in some extra effort (heehee) over the next 2-3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/3#post-86648 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:46:40 +0000 Crisark 86648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: Thank you dear! I've had some odd twinges and weirdness in my boobs and just some odd things with foods taste and smell. I don't want to get excited or hopeful. I'm being realistic that we are only in our first cycle so the likelihood is slim. But, I just wish I could test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/3#post-86423 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 18:09:50 +0000 cupcakemama 86423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am officially out for this month. I had a 35 day cycle. I hope that my cycle gets into a routine pattern quickly, I don't have much time!</p> <p>Fingers crossed, crisark! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/3#post-86331 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 10:54:58 +0000 Crisark 86331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good Morning Ladies!<br /> I am 7dpo (Suspected O) and I've had random nausea the past three days, yesterday DH made peanut butter toast and I almost threw up at the smell. Idk, maybe I'm just going nuts lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-86301 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 08:55:04 +0000 kentuckygirl 86301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi! I have been lurking but am excited to post that I got my first positive OPK yesterday on CD 9! This is our second cycle TTC. I am 36 &amp; DH is 38 so I know this could take a while but that little smiley face made me happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-86255 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 22:10:55 +0000 arielle9510 86255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MRSLILYBUGG- Thank you! Still waiting to O but I'm still getting lines on my OPKs, just not a positive quite yet...oy.</p> <p>Crossing my fingers for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-86130 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 16:23:35 +0000 MrsLilybugg 86130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: maybe the sneak factor will spice things up! ha ha jk ;) good luck!</p> <p> @arielle9510: xrossing fingers for you!</p> <p> @GreenThumb: good luck with your OPKS!</p> <p>I am 11 dpo right now and feel really really run down, tired, drained. Also, yesterday and today I've had no appetite, and I usually always have to curb my diet coke obsession (I have cut back a lot!), and have had zero desire for any. These all may be coming-down-with-a-cold symptoms. I just want to go home and to bed right now., hmph! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-86092 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:37:54 +0000 GreenThumb 86092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at CD11 and am waiting to O - watching CM and using OPKs. Should be a positive any day now (usually around CD12 or 13)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-83617 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 20:01:05 +0000 arielle9510 83617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm CD16 and have been getting progressively darker OPKs the past 2 days so hoping I "O" soon! I didn't ovulate until CD35 last month so this would be AMAZING! </p> <p>crossing my fingers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-83602 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:15:51 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 83602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CD11 over here, and DH and I are getting ready to start our every-other-day schedule for this month. I've never ovulated before CD19, so I figure that we've got some time. Not sure how this cycle is going to work out, however - we're picking up our best friends from the airport on Monday, and they'll be staying with us for the next two weeks. Guess we'll just have to be really sneaky with BDing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-82628 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:06:04 +0000 mrsjyw 82628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finally got my PEAK EGG sign on the fertility monitor!!! :P exhausted with our baby dancing schedule, but rejuvenated at this morning's result! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-82622 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:55:13 +0000 Crisark 82622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: Good Luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-82603 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:16:58 +0000 GreenThumb 82603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on the early end of my cycle - CD7 - waiting to O. This is cycle #8, and we are on the older side - soon to be 34 and 37 - so we decided to make a Dr. appointment for later this month just to check things out. Hoping that we are pregnant by the time that appt. rolls around, although based on my cycle we will only be 8DPO, so it will be a little too early to tell :)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-79213 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:07:42 +0000 Adira 79213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I need advice...</p> <p>Prior to being on BC, my cycles were 33-35 days long. Last month, my first month off BC, I O'd on CD 17 and my cycle only lasted 27 days.</p> <p>This month I've been charting regularly and everything looks good. Then yesterday, CD 16, I wake up and my temp is up to 97.70 (up from ~97.45). That would have implied that I O'd on CD 15, which seems early to me. I was thinking I had a cold because I've been sneezy and had a runny nose, and chalked the high temp to a fever. Today, CD17, I'm up even more: 97.85. I'm a little sneezy, but for the most part, I feel fine. I did wake up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night (2:30), so I had an interrupted sleep, but I still got ~4 hours of sleep before I temped at 6:30.</p> <p>So... do you guys think these two high temps are cold/sleep related? Or do you think maybe I really did O early?? I'm so confused... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-79166 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:18:47 +0000 MrsLilybugg 79166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: nice! Maybe I should schedule a getaway my next fertile time.</p> <p>OK here's my update:<br /> temping has just been impossible! I go to bed with all the best intentions, I even leave the thermometer right.next to me so it's easy. I know it takes 10 seconds, and I can jot it down later. But I have such trouble falling asleep, and when I wake up sporadically which is almost every day, the last thing I can manage to think of is that darn thermometer. Grrr. I guess I'll have to rely on bloodwork to see if I 'O' if I need further help with fertility apts. :(<br /> Currently I am on CD12. My OPK detected a surge earlier than usual, CD10 (I had a strange dream that I interpreted as having to test early. Usually I start testing CD12!) I also had a smiley face CD11. So maybe it was detected up and down surges. I'll test again tonight.<br /> Babydust!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-78585 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:51:30 +0000 DillonLion 78585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to pop in and say I'm on CD 4....we'll be on vacation during the next fertile time, which will hopefully make for an extra enjoyable vacation ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-78583 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:42:52 +0000 Crisark 78583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just thought I'd jump in since we are officially TTC.<br /> I am on CD3 on my first cycle since having Mirena taken out. Can't complain because it only took AF 3 days to show up with a vengeance after it was removed lol<br /> I'm excited to eventually have my first OPK and I'm certain I will take a picture of that smiley face lol<br /> Congrats to all that had great news after their TTW!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-76275 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:19:10 +0000 MrsLilybugg 76275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I took photos of my smiley face OPKs too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-76181 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 09:31:50 +0000 hellobeeboston 76181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: i totally took a photo of my first smiley OPK ;) then sent it to hubs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-76096 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 07:28:14 +0000 hilsy85 76096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: Thanks!

I didn't, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-updates-part-3/page/2#post-75895 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:55:59 +0000 theotherstark 75895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many great updates!!
