@Clementine12: thanks! I love how none of us have self control about testing. I was planning to wait until Saturday morning but I needed to go to Target this afternoon so I bought my tests today. And then waited about 1 minute after getting home to poas.
-
@Chuckles: I meaaaan... ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I need yellowbeach or kaohinani to come in with data and trigger to ovulation. I do know that it's supposed to be something like a day for every 1000 units of your trigger for it to be gone. Conservative is 10 days for 5000 and 14 for 10000
-
@Chuckles: Iโve had trigger show up at 10dpo but I so hope itโs real and gets darker!!!
-
@bhbee: do you remember if yours was an ovidrel trigger or one with a higher amount of hcg?
-
@Chuckles: I always did ovidrel. I think 10dpo was the latest I saw a false/trigger line but of course there are so many factors to each cycle that Iโm sure it varies.
-
@Sams Mom: yes 1000mU/ day is what my RE told me. I still had some trigger at 10 DO trigger with 5000u that one time though. Iโd wait two days and then youโll know for sure. Easier said than done I know.
-
@yellowbeach: wait two days?! Ha, I just told my husband, the sooner I go to bed, the sooner I can take another pregnancy test tomorrow
But, really, thank you for the info. So on average it would clear a person's system after 10 days but obviously there's a lot of personal variation, is that correct?
-
Positive or not quite? Digital read low, not even high. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
-
@Chuckles: I hope this is it for you!!
@Yellowbeach: I would say, not quite, but you are super close!
-
@yellowbeach: pretty close. You could always test again in 12 hours, but you'll probably ovulate soon regardless.
AFM, nothing this morning. There's maybe a tiny bit of a squinter, but it's definitely less than yesterday.
I'll definitely test out the trigger next time.
-
@Chuckles: Iโm sorry
just a word to be careful testing trigger too ... because tests are not really accurate enough at super low levels, you can one day get a stark white and think itโs gone and next day get a super squinter from trigger again. I know from experience ...
-
@yellowbeach: not quite yet, I'd say this evening's will be, tomorrow at the latest
-
Hi, ladies!
I am soooooooo sorry for my absence. My DD and I had a terrible stomach bug ๐คข๐คฎand I had a 4-day migraine. I ended up in the ER
I am still [kind of] in the running this month even with a cancelled cycle. I don't know if I did OV or when I will as I had not had a positive OPK but have signs of OV. I called the RE and was told that because my E2 is so high, I probably won't get a positive LH stripOn to my messages to everyone:
Thank you to all for the kind messages in regard to my cancelled cycle, as well as, to those who were concerned over my health.
@Sams Mom: Thank you for being amazing and keeping up the board. I couldn't imagine anyone better to share a board with.
@Lazb: I read your thread update. My heart
goes out to you and I am so sorry that you have gone through this. I am glad your body is making it's way back to reproductive homeostasis so quickly. I hope you find answers and everything is easily resolved so you may have a successful (and well-deserved) pregnancy.@Yellowbeach: Thank you. Also, that OPK looks damn near POS. If you remember, I have had 3 cycles where my CBEAD and my OPKs disagreed. Either you are catching the start of your surge or the LH tests are reading incorrectly. In either case, the only way to know for sure is through your BBT in a couple days. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@Paranundrum: My fingers ๐ค and toes
@SweetCaroline: @autumnmama79: @FuzzyPeaches: @clementine12: @Creativemomma15: Thank you.
@MrsKansas: I hope this month ends with your BFP
as you have been through SO much.@clementine12: Congratulations!!!
@Chuckles: I am soooooooo hoping that you get your BFP! ๐ค
While it may still be the trigger at 10 dp trigger, the chances are slim. I am looking forward to seeing today's HPT.@Phillybaby2013: Welcome to the POAS board!
I can't remember if I forgot anyone ... If I did, I apologize.

@Kaohinani: Good to have you back, you were sorely missed.
I'm glad you are feeling better and about that condom break - we have some excitement for this month after all, even though it's supposed to be a cancelled cycle. Hoping for the best! -
@paranundrum: Thank you so much!
It is nice being back.
-
@Kaohinani: oh man what a rough few days!! I'm glad you are on the mend!
-
Cycle day 23
-
@Chuckles: ugh, I'm sorry. The trigger can be such a mind f#ck. I've been there many times, unfortunately
-
@Kaohinani: Condom??? Iโve forgotten what that is! ๐คฃ
-
@yellowbeach: @Kaohinani: inquiring minds need to know if you moved as fast as 2 teenagers do when a condom breaks when a litter of babies is at risk
-
@mrskansas: Thank you!
That is a beautiful OPK! ๐ค@Yellowbeach: Seriously, I know!
-
@Sams Mom: LOLOLOL.
๐ค Not really. I was like, "Oh, SH#T! Well, this cycle is messed up ... whatever. We will just end up with a litter." ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ And then DH and I laughed (nervously) and cleaned up. I figure I couldn't catch a POS HPT even if we normally bed like bunnies -
@Kaohinani: can you transplant the extras? I'll come to you even
-
@Sams Mom: I don't think it works that way ๐คทโโ๏ธ but, if it did, you'd be at the top of the list for implantation of one or two embies out of a litter.
-
Thanks, everyone. I'm at work, but I'll respond more later. I don't feel pregnant at all, so I shouldn't be surprised or disappointed, but of course I am.
-
Guys DH doesnโt feel like BDing. Last night he was โfullโ and today he is queasy. He goes out of town tomorrow for two days. Weโre not technically TTC this month but I feel like Iโm tired of waiting out the IVF that also might not work. โน๏ธ
-
@yellowbeach: Boo... But you're still in the game with at least one of your BDs (if O is now-ish like it seems to be)
-
@mrskansas: That is a very very very positive OPK!
-
Hi ladies. Can I join you to ask for some advice? I was an active member here a while ago but closed my account because my baby making years are behind me (I think). Of course, AF is seemingly late and I am getting increasingly anxious to POAS and just need a little moral support. I don't have any hpt's because the addiction is real and I would be testing every single month even if there wasn't a shot in hell it could be positive lol. I do have opk's to track ovulation and that is extremely negative so I must just have my dates wrong, right?
-
@yellowbeach: Seriously? ๐คฃ No excuses for him!
-
@azaela: hi, my name is Sam's Mom and I'm a POAS addict... So I totally feel you!
How many days post O are you?
Do you track anything? birth control method (if applicable)? When did you last have unprotected sex?
You know all things you ask perfect strangers.
-
@azaela: Hi, Azaela!
To respond: Well, you COULD have your dates incorrect OR you could be pregnant. Using an OPK to check for pregnancy is only marginally accurate as HCG (which is chemically similar but in no way identical to LH) increases in pregnancy WHILE in most women LH may increase right before an AF begins. The lack of a positive on an OPK just means your LH is low at this time (* each woman is different so your "higher" LH numbers may be someone else's "low" level ๐คทโโ๏ธ) and is not necessarily indicative of a positive pregnancy test. I am not always the most gung-ho about POAS since I have yet to see a BFP in 3 years (* I didn't test the cycle of my CM); however, if you are late, what harm would it be to purchase a single 2-pack of HPTs and test? That stated, I support your choice whether you test or not. -
@Sams Mom: Hey, lady - How is your cycle looking? I forgot to ask earlier. Any definitive BBT changes to indicate a possible OV after your litany of positive OPKs?
-
@Kaohinani: I had a more than average fluctuations drop in temp this morning. I forgot my work OPK :\, but I still don't have any signs of fertile CM...
My current guess is that I will O on Tuesday or Wednesday, but we shall see.
-
@Sams Mom: Do you get a temp dip before you OV? I usually do so I figured I'd ask bc you could be setting up to OV today. As for the CF, fluid and amounts fluctuate each month due to the levels of estrogen and progesterone ... Perhaps your E2 is lower this month which is why you have been riding the LH wave for days with no true POS. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
-
@Kaohinani: I used to get a drastic dip pre medicated cycles, after though, my shifts haven't been spectacular.
-
@Kaohinani: these are all pre tempdrop too, but this is what they used to look like.
-
@Sams Mom: Mine has been weird this cycle as well ... NOTHING like past cycles. I blame the Follistim. I did have a large temp rise this morning but didn't notice it until after the condom incident. I let TD record my temp, we DTD, and later on I went back and input my BBT into FF. I may or may not be ovulatory ATM (CD 14). ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
-
@Kaohinani: as long as today is .5 a degree higher than CD10 and the next 2-3 days go up, then you most likely are. ahhh
But, really, thank you for the info. So on average it would clear a person's system after 10 days but obviously there's a lot of personal variation, is that correct?
I'll definitely test out the trigger next time.
