@ lindsayinny- sorry, my post my was confusing. I meant that I checked the opk in the am and there was no smiley and low temp- then last night I got the smiley face for the first time-- and then I woke up with my high temp and the smiley face was gone. I guess I just thought it would last longer. I covered my bases so well see what happens-- but to me it seems that the opk test's direction are misleading. It says you should have sex the night of smiley face and two days after-- in my case the two days after would be way past ovulation indicated by my temp .
@adira @mrsmcarthy- thanks for the info-- perhaps we will BD tonight just for fun

@cyndistar3: that's what my first BFP looked like!! Tomorrow with FMU I think you're definitely going to see something!

@cyndistar3: I'm glad so many others can see it! FX for a beautiful line in the morning!
So I've been having sharp pinching pains on my lower back and only on the left side.

@Lady Hibiscus: Ohhh, I hear what you're saying. In that case, I have no advice. I've never used OPKs, so I'm not entirely sure how they work, but I can definitely see what you mean. I guess I'd just keep BDing just to cover your bases!
Boo ladies - no temp spike this morning so I DIDN'T ovulate! Gahhh, now I have to have sex again, womp womp.

@Adira: Aw, man! I hope your O-day comes soon!
@Cyndistar3: Can't wait for an update!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@mfa_lady: Me too! Fingers crossed it happens in the next couple days so that last night's sexcapades were worth it!
pomegranate / 3921 posts
@Adira: OMG sexcapades--LOVE IT! I wish there was a "thumbs up" emoticon because you just earned like ten of them!

Good morning Bees! I need your line eyes because it looks like I've got a squinter. 9 DPO, no real symptoms besides being gassy lol. Also had the briefest wave of nausea this morning but I hadn't eaten yet. It's a shadow of a shadow but it's definitely visible! Came up within 3 minutes. Didn't save the FMU because I was just satisfying the POAS monster.

Okay, girls, so....in a combo our-MC-is-finally-over/it's-VDay/we-really-want-a-baby move, I booked a Brazilian wax for this evening at a place highly recommended by a good friend. DH LOOOOVED when I used to have them done regularly when we were younger, so I'm surprising him. Any tips for how to make it as painless (HA! I know) as possible?

@Mrs.Panda: I can see a squinter in the first picture. Is it tomorrow morning yet so you can test again?!?!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Mrs.Panda: I can't see anything in the second photo, but I DO see something in the first!!!! Ahhhh!!!! So exciting!!!!
@mfa_lady: OMG, you go girl!!!! I have no advice because I've never done that before, but good for you!! I hope your husband appreciates it!!!
nectarine / 2358 posts
@mfa_lady: I know!!! Gah!! As far as the Brazilian, I took some ibuprofen beforehand and it was fine. You may bleed a bit more but not much if you used to get it did.

congrats to all of the new BFP!!!!
I have stopped testing as of today, yesterday the line was super faint, so I quit!
nectarine / 2358 posts
@Adira: That's so funny because I see it more in the second! And it's *slightly* more apparent in person. Will be using a FRER tomorrow!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Mrs.Panda: It could be my monitor! Plus they never look as clear in pictures as they do in person!! Why can't it be tomorrow already??? I want results NOW!
pomelo / 5720 posts
@cyndistar3: waiting impatiently for your update!
@Mrs.Panda: I think I see something!!

@mfa_lady: Oh la la!! I think it's awesome that you know certain things that DH LOVES. Sexy sexy time!!
@cyndistar3: Where are you?! (Hm. So much for being patient this month).
@Mrs.Panda: EEEEEeeeepp! I can't wait to see what the next FMU acquires!!

How is everything else today? How is it Wednesday?
What's on your mind?
AFM, DH said something last night that I really took offense to for some reason. He said that I had more PMS then any woman he knew. -_- And part of that is just fact. Every other woman he knew/knows is on birth control. Of course they wouldn't experience their hormones as much as I do. We're trying to have a baby for pete's sake.
(I think my hormone swings are a sensitive topic for me. I often feel different every day- mood, energy, ect and I think it's likely because of my changing hormones.)
He also said something sweet. He said yesterday morning he was thinking about how cool it will be to a father....which made me wonder.... What would happen if I just didn't initiate BD? If he was well aware of our window... would he initiate DTD? Sometimes I feel like it is entirely my responsible to get KU. He said last cycle he wanted to be more informed.....So today I started charting OPKs and they are living in our laundry room bathroom. So he can see what they are doing just as much as I can.

@HolisticMama: I'm feeling like crap. this morning again and it's really getting to me more than it should. Af isn't due until the 16th or 17th and I know it's still early, but with all the weird symptoms I've had over the last few days I fell like if I am KU that a test should show something by now. I honestly just want to fast forward and skip the internal dialog continuously playing in my head.

@Mrs.Panda: I don't think my screens are test friendly, I really hope there is a line there, though! Last pregnancy my first line didn't really show in a picture. FX that is the first of a beautifully darkening series.

@Radish: So sorry you're having a rough time. BFNs are so hard to take.
nectarine / 2079 posts
@Adira: Thanks. I haven't had an issue with them before, but we weren't actively trying just a why not one shot thing here and there. I think I'm just putting a lot of pressure on this cycle because it's my ideal time.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
You people are reaaaaallly making me squint and stare at the computer screen! I'm really hoping for BFPs for all of you!
@Radish: Don't give up hope!
nectarine / 2358 posts
@snowjewelz: hahaha don't mean to make your eyes hurt! Can't wait until tomorrow for a lot of reasons! I have a presentation to give today in class and I really don't want to!
pomegranate / 3895 posts
@Mrs.Panda: Similar to @Adira, I can see a shadow in the first, but not the second. If you see it in the second IRL, that means both look positive to at least one person! Woo hoo! Cautiously excited for you, lady!
ETA: Why do I love looking at these things so much? Seriously, I live for people posting their HPT. I think I should be on strange addictions.
pomegranate / 3045 posts
@cyndistar3 & @Mrs.Panda I think I see something in both of your tests. Fingers crossed so hard! I can't wait to have updates from you
@Radish: Ugh, so frustrating how many dpo are you? I think generally women don't get BFPs until 12 or 13 dpo. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/When-can-I-expect-a-positive-HPT-if-I-am-pregnant.html
nectarine / 2079 posts
@theotherstark: I don't temp or use opk's, so I could be anywhere from 9-11dpo right now based on CM. I know it is early, I think I just had a bad morning. I'm feeling a lot better right now.

@Radish: Ugh, BFNs are rough. Hopefully you're able to take your mind off things today I know how hard that is, though. Sending positive, BFP thoughts your way!!
