@Kaohinani: this is exciting news and I have my fingers crossed for you!
As for me it looks like I'm out of the game this month. I had one last emotional tug, some light brownish spotting yesterday that disappeared so I was sure it was implantation bleeding, logic be dammed! This morning I took a HPT that was negative, and then what looks like AF started. I'm very sad, but a little relieved not to be on the hope roller coaster any more! I'll head over to the next POAS board in a few days...
-
@MoonMoon: Thank you for your well wishes and support!
I am sorry that it appears that your AF has begun. 
Being in the tww limbo is one of the worst feelings, so atleast you have an answer now.
-
What. The. EFF?!?!?!
I came home from my class to make a quick lunch for DH and the kids before heading back, and I decided to take an OPK. Today's is similar to yesterday's test at the 5 min mark (if that is even possible!!!)! ðĪ I think I'm having another cycle like last month with the multiple days of positive OPKs. ðĪĶââïļ This doesn't normally happen to me. Perhaps I will OV tonight (CD 9) or tomorrow (CD 10). ðĪ·ââïļ IDK.
Yesterday's OPK:
Today's OPK:
-
@Kaohinani: Curiouser and curiouser!
-
@paranundrum: I'm perplexed as well.
-
@Kaohinani: I wonder what this means!
-
@MoonMoon: ðĪ In all actuality, I am thinking that I am just having a long surge (like last month) which, I am hoping lends forth to a strong
-
@Kaohinani: It may not mean anything, but I had extra long surges the months I got pregnant with my LOs.
-
@crazydoglady: I am a sucker for anecdotal evidence!
Thank you so much for sharing the luck you had conceiving after extended surges. -
@Kaohinani: oh gosh ! I hope @crazydoglady: is on the right track
-
Just checking in to say hi! Congrats to all the BFPs! And holy dark OPK @Kaohinani: !!
-
I second @crazydoglady: on the long surges. Also I ovulated while still having hcg in my system about 4w post my d&c and I swear it was still not that dark! Alllllll the
-
@SweetCaroline: @Mrs.Panda: @bhbee:
Thank you very much! I do hope that it leads to something fantastic. My Tempdrop BBT has been seriously anemic with no huge rise (* sidenote - a substantial rise is typical for me after ov) so nothing is 100% definitive of even ovulating yet. -
Day 3 + OPK: ðĪĶââïļ
-
@Kaohinani: I would call that "almost" positive, so I think you will probably 0 late today or early tomorrow.
-
@crazydoglady: Thank you so much for taking the time to examine my OPK and offer me a response!
FWIW, after I posted the photo, I began to think ðĪ about it and I compared today's test with my last 2 positive OPKs (from Monday and Tuesday). The last 2 were darker and the test lines were taking color from the control lines. Today, the test line and control are close in color. I'm thinking I am having a slow rise and descent. I had Mittelschmerz pains Monday and Tuesday but no cramping today. I think I may have OV-ed yesterday sometime. ðĪ·ââïļ I also read the following blog page: https://premom.com/blogs/how-to-use-ovulation-tests/surges-and-peaks-gradual-onset . While it is not a scholarly article or excerpt from a medical journal or study, it did shed some light on having multiple + OPKs and trends of gradual onset surges. -
@Kaohinani: lurker here - I don't consider them true OPK positives until they match or nearlyyyy match the control line. I'd call the other 2 coming soon Os. The most recent one looks like a true positive to me so you either just O'd or will O soon. Either way, you're in the BD window. Good luck!
-
@psw27: Thank you!
I appreciate your perspective and response. I am going to be keeping a close eye on my BBT over the next few days in the hopes that I did ovulate and our timing was right.
-
@Kaohinani: FWIW I also am someone who got numerous nearly positives the cycle I got pregnant with DS1.
-
@psw27: I love reading that! With all the bees who have had extended LH surges the cycles that they conceived, I find myself very hopeful that I could, potentially, fall pregnant as well. Thank you.
-
I'm thinking that I OV-ed on CD 9. Tomorrow's BBT should afford me a more definitive answer. I am going to stop taking OPKs at this point because (1) my BBT is on the rise, and (2) it is frustrating seeing + OPKs and questioning whether or not my hormones are out of whack (perimenopause, anyone? ðĪĶââïļ).

How are you ladies holding up? ðĪ·ââïļ
I feel like all of my drama from this cycle is monopolizing the board. -
@Kaohinani: just popping in to say good luck! I have a good feeling about you this cycle
-
@fuzzypeaches: Thank you so much!
-
@Kaohinani: You just happen to have a bit more unusual cycle and have more to tell. It's great that you document it though.
I don't have much going on on TTC front, I'm around 10dpo and cm tells me AF will start this weekend or by Monday at the latest. No spotting yet, but that will probably start today too.
I also wanted to give a heads up - I will be in choir camp this weekend and probably won't have the opportunity to be online during that. I'll be back here on Monday, but I'm not sure how much I can post during work hours next week too, because I'll have a new girl looking over my shoulder and trying to learn anything and everything she can from Monday to Wednesday. I'll start on my new job on Friday and I don't know how much I'll be able to be online. At first at least.
-
@paranundrum: So much exciting news from you!
starting your new job!

Got my crosshairs for a CD 9 ovulation.

This (my stats based on OV date and temps) is NOT reassuring ðĪĶââïļ:

@Kaohinani: We'll have a few rehearsals this weekend and two (practice) concerts, we have a competition coming in September and need to practice all we can for it. I hope we can pull it together, our overall performance has been in a slow downward spiral for the last couple of years. We used to win most competitions we entered, but our original conductor slowly lost interest and the last few years have been rocky.
We have a new and very motivated conductor now, who shot a bit too high with our program last year and it wasn't very pleasant. It felt like we were failing in everything all last year. This year our conductor has made some revisions and at least seems to have learned from past mistakes. Hopefully it will be a better year. We've had two practices this week already and I feel good at the moment.About next week - I'll try to pop in as often as possible, but it might be not often enough.
I need all the luck I can get! Thanks!
Also, that's one impressive temp rise! I hope this is the one for you!
-
@Kaohinani: my period was due Wednesday but on Tuesday night I got a stomach bug and I'm still down fo the count 3 days later. I haven't tested yet (I have barely left the bed) Can a bug so close to period day push it back? I figured I would have gotten AF by now even though adding that to this yuck would have just pi**ed me off lol
-
@mrschickpea: Oh, no! Being ill with gastrointestinal distress is the pits! ðĪðĪŪðĨš I am so sorry to read that you aren't feeling well.
To respond - Yes, illness can delay menstruation anywhere from a day to over a week. On the flip side, illness can also cause an AF to arrive ahead of schedule. Right now, it appears that you are in limbo. Keep in mind that [early] pregnancy lowers one's immunity ... often a woman will fall ill (* symptoms can range from a stuffy nose or full blown cold to that of flu-like symptoms) around her missed AF. In fact, that happened to me 12 years ago. I thought I had the flu (* elevated temp/fever, nausea with vomiting, fatigue, slight body aches, and gastrointestinal "issues") and I missed my AF around the same time. 2 weeks later (at 6 weeks along), I tested BFP for my DD! Of course, sometimes illness is just that: feeling like crud. In your case, I hope it lends to something great. ðĪ
-
Well, no wonder it's taken me so long to get over the stomach bug...
-
@mrschickpea: YAY!!!!
to both the Aug POAS roster and the roll-over (Aug) list on the Sept-Dec 2019 POAS board. So exciting!

@mrschickpea: Yay!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!

@Kaohinani: Did your temp this morning confirm ovulation?
-
@crazydoglady: Yes, ma'am ... it was actually confirmed yesterday!
Anyway, here is my current chart: -
@Kaohinani: I felt so much better when I cut down temping!
-
@bhbee: That is fantastic to know! Thank you. I am hoping that cutting back will help my anxiety [and obsessive nature] a bit. DH and I have been TTC-ing soooooooo hard for the last 2 years (with 3-1/2 years of TTC now behind us), that I really need to ease up on the portions of TTC that over-stress me.
