@travellingbee: Good luck next month
-
My cycles are really long, and I have been needing to take Provera to induce it each cycle, but for the last 2 cycles, I have been still getting EWCM around day 13. But then the weirdest thing happens and I bleed for a few days. My Dr and I don't know why I would be bleeding then, but I'm going to count that as around O time. So maybe POAS July 13th, but then I won't count myself out until July 28th which would be cycle day 42 (which is when I start Provera) I just wish I had normal cycles!
-
@angelachase: best of luck!
-
@MrsBrewer: How much are you bleeding? Could it be due to ovulation?
-
@KelLeeLeee: the last two cycles I would be bleeding enough to wear a light tampon for 3-4 days. I would say equivalent to a light period
-
@angelachase: ha! That's cute. My husband did something similar when I used OPKs
So, I may already be out! I think O date was maybe friday/Saturday or around there --- we were together last tues/wed but then my husband is away. We saw each other Saturday but were at my parents with my grandmother Soo, no sexy time, ha. And now he's not back until Wednesday, grr. Stupid work travel.
-
Well, you can take me off the list because I got my bfp this morning! I REALLY thought I was out this month and going to be joining y'all, so fx this is a sticky baby!
-
@LAZB: Congratulations
That's great news.
-
@LAZB: congrats!!
-
@LAZB: congrats!!!!!!!
@hellobeeboston: ugh! Bad timing is the worst. That's why we aren't trying this month. I'm going on a girls weekend and I just don't feel like stressing about it!
-
@yellowbird: girls trip - fun! Yeah, don't stress it and enjoy! I thought we might be able to sneak some time at my parents but it was too much..... And a mosquito bit my eyelid and it was all swollen - so sexy! Lol
-
@hellobeeboston: hahahah!!! I had a mosquito bite on my rear a couple weeks ago! So itchy and inconvenient! LOL
-
Help, guys! Here's my question (in novel form - sorry!)
Okay, so I am on CD 7 and my cycles are usually pretty regular (26-28 days), though can have a bit of fluctuation. So anyway, my period just ended on Saturday. So on Sunday (CD6) I started my Clearblue Digital OPKs and got the O, as expected.
This morning, I took the test and got the peak fertility reading (!), having skipped over the "high" reading entirely. So I called the Helpline and they explained that I might have missed my "high" reading. Basically, the first time I take the test they said it will always give me a O because it's just establishing that it's working. So I guess had I started a bit earlier in my cycle I would have had the natural progression. They explained that this cycle is probably short and that's why I'm getting the reading so soon.
BUT, I don't really have any CM going on. I'm so confused. And no, I don't chart, so no temps to back anything up
-
@LAZB: WHOA! I was so busy typing my own novella that I missed this. Many, many congratulations to you! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy
-
@LAZB: YAY!!! Congrats!!!!
-
@meredithNYC: have you ever used the opks before?? That seems early to get a peak, but who knows!
-
@yellowbird: I have for last cycle (my first) and yeah, I got my high and peak fertility reads much later. It seems very odd.
-
@meredithNYC: hmm that does seem strange. Do you have any other opks you can verify with? Maybe some cheapies? Maybe there was something wrong with that particular one.
-
@hellobeeboston: You never know!! :good luck:
@LAZB: Gladly!!! Congrats!!!

-
@meredithNYC: I second @KelLeeLeee: maybe try a cheapie. I've never used the digital ones but I was planning on getting a pack to confirm my cheapie this month.
Are they cb digital regular or advanced?
-
Hi everyone! I am a newbie and this is my first post!
Cycle day: 21
Cycle #: 2
Ovulation & POAS dates: 6/21-6/23 for O, and I'm going to try and wait until 7/8 for POAS
Baby #: 1
Your game plan this month: OPK, temping
-
So how many of you are using OPK's? Although DH and I are TTC, I'm planning on temping, but I don't know if I will do OPK's! hahahah Call me lazy! I might change my mind though!
-
I O'ed late in June, so my POAS date is being pushed into July - here's my info!
Cycle day: Oh lordy, today is CD 28, I think? I usually have around 40 day cycles.
Cycle #: 2
Ovulation & POAS dates: Ovulation was June 22, POS July 4th
Baby #: 1
Your game plan this month: Same old, same old.
-
@KelLeeLeee: No cheapies here. Might stop into CVS and see what they have, though.
@yellowbird: They are advanced.
@Runnergirl: @raspberries: Welcome and good luck, ladies!
@MrsBrewer: I don't think that's lazy at all! Actually, I always say I don't temp since I'm lazy. But, I'm thinking if I don't get pregnant this cycle I might step it up and start temping.
-
@meredithNYC: I guess OPK's are easier than temping aren't they? Oh maybe just call me cheap then! I just don't want to have to go out and buy something else. I feel like I waste so much money on HPT's the way it is! hahahah
-
@MrsBrewer: Ugh, yeah, the money. Like I said, I'm new to using them, but I am realizing that if the process takes a while... that's a lot of money spent on OPKs
-
@MrsBrewer: I use opks just so I know 100% when I ovulate, but if you look at other signs (your cm, temp) you don't really need to use them.
@Runnergirl: welcome!
@raspberries: good luck! July is a better month anyway
-
@MrsBrewer: Thank you!
@KelLeeLeee: Couldn't agree more - my birthday is 7/13, and we already have four POAS'ers that day. Here's hoping it's a lucky one!
-
@MrsBrewer: I think I'm going to try OPks next month to make sure my timing is right. I'm just basing it now off of last time when I used them.
-
@meredithNYC: I don't get these digi opks. Mine gave me a peak the very first day last cycle. Seemed early to me. I have a lot of them left but I kind of wish I got the ones where you just read the lines. And I didn't have any cm going on either and didn't get my period for 18 more days, which would be a sort of long LP right? Gah.
@LAZB: congrats!!! I will keep you in my thoughts! Praying you have a sticky healthy baby!
-
@googly-eyes: Okay, now I wish I would have pushed the customer service person a bit more to give me a refund. I think my solution is to go ahead and have sex tonight to "cover my bases" but otherwise wait for actual signs of ovulation. So frustrating how something that's supposed to make life easier actually does the reverse!
-
@meredithNYC: @hellobeeboston: @KelLeeLeee: I think I may try a few more cycles without OPK's and go from there. From what it sounds like, these things sound pretty confusing! hahahah
-
I'm a little behind you ladies, but would love to join!
Cycle day: 13
Cycle #: 8
Ovulation & POAS dates: O= Yesterday (June 22nd) or today (June 23rd ~ I think it's today as I'm having O pains). Will POAS July 4th if I feel inclined to (11/12DPO 5 days before AF due). If BFN will wait until AF due to test ~ July 8th
Baby #: 1
Your game plan this month: After 6 solid months of temping I decided to not do it this month in order to be more relaxed (it's actually working), BD eod, hit Saturday, Sunday and today; used Preseed (only as lube). Keep drinking decaf coffee and no soda. Cutting back dramatically on the wine in the TWW

@MRSBREWER - I used OPK's for a few cycles but they only drove me crazy!! It can get expensive too since I couldn't buy the dip kind since I was mostly testing at work. You really have to do them 3 times a day to really get an accurate read. Even then, some women I know would never get a positive but because they temp they knew they ovulated!

@meredithNYC: I did start them on cd12, so late, though. But I was surprised you could even get a positive the first day. I have the same plan this month! I'll take them just because I have so many left from last month!
-
Any recommendations for cheapie OPKs? I can't be dealing with this Clearblue Advanced Digital nonsense! Also, can I start using them anytime in my cycle? By the time they arrive from Amazon I would likely be on CD 8.
-
@meredithNYC: I have used Wandfo and Babi, I like Babi the best because they are cheaper and less sensitive so you aren't double guessing yourself - when it's positive, you definitely know.
eta: you start whenever you like in your cycle, cd8 would be perfect.
