Here I am at cd 9 again...I'll start OPKs tomorrow. This part of my cycle is so boring.
-
@travellingbee: So boring, but at least you're gearing up to o soonish, right?
-
@travellingbee: i hear ya, im on CD7 right now, just patiently waiting until saturday (CD10) to start with the opks again. I just ordered some pre-seed and super early pregnancy tests from amazon to kill some time haha i hope we both get BFPs this cycle!
-
Well, I think I O'd on the 11th (CD25), at least according to my temperature + symptoms (ewcm). Didn't use OPKs. Not sure if BD timing was optimal though - just did O-2, O, and probably tonight O+2... I mean, I would think every other day would be enough but now I'm worried we didn't BD more
I also started taking B6 last night in the hopes that it will extend my luteal phase. The past few cycles it's been like 9 days.
Today I'm 2DPO, so let's say my POAS date is.... 8/23? That will be 12 DPO. I've NEVER made it that long without getting AF since coming off birth control, so if I make it that far, I'll definitely test.
-
@rockies11 Congrats. I found out with my 1st when I got a weird opk result!
-
@Rockies11: oh wow, congrats!!!!
@MrsADS: 3dpo here...testing on the 23rd as well! good luck to you!
-
I guess I'm back in the Aug. testing camp!! Thank you shorter periods! AF is due Aug. 31st and I'm hoping I get to test this cycle. Haven't tested in a while because once I get that pre-AF spotting I know she's around the corner!! I'll do this again:
Cycle Day: 10
TTC Cycle #: 10
POAS date: 8/31
Baby #1
Your plan this month: OH is super on board this cycle for some reason. We are both working on our health, I'm doing OPK's and I am using Conceive Plus this cycle (instead of Preseed) and softcups. I might take my temp for the next week so I can help pinpoint O (because I'm scared I will O on another day) but I only have a forehead thermometer so I'm not sure how accurate those are for this.

@Rockies11: Congrats!

@travellingbee: Here we are, cycle twins again! I am also CD9 today and starting OPKs tomorrow. This month DH is going out of town on some key days (CD12-14) but what can you do. I have wondered if we aren't starting early enough anyway. My O day is not consistent, so we might really miss the window, or not. We'll see!
-
I'm out unfortunately…AF decided to show up right on time! Boo! Best of luck to everyone else…hope to see you on the Sept POAS board!
-
@lilyofthewest did you and your husband like concieve plus more than pre seed? We used pre seed and my husband didn't like it at all, he said it made him feel numb. So we won't be using it anymore. Also, did you do anything differently this month other than the past months? Thank you and congrats again
-
@angelachase: well I say start BDing now and see what happens!
I think I might be Oing early this cycle because I already started EWCM today on cd9. That's at least a day early if not 2. I'm hoping it means I O on cd12. Why, you ask?
Welllllll... 12 seems to be our lucky number. We met on the 12th and got married on the 12th, and various other small things and looking back at my FF chart from my last bfp (DS) I O'd a day early that cycle on cd 12! DH said maybe this time I'll O on cd 12 too (which would make this baby's due date.... May 12th!!!!-also our anniversary!) Coincidence...? Tee hee. I'm not superstitious at all but it is fun to hope for such wonderful coincidences!
-
@Ashleyf21: we started using conceive plus this cycle and I think it's a little better. DH didn't like preseed either because when it dries up a bit it gets sticky and uncomfortable.
-
@Ashleyf21: Well...I got KU with Conceive+Plus, so, I liked that part more! I didn't think either of them was either amazing or terrible as a lube from a sexual pleasure standpoint. They were both just nothing special for me.
-
@Rockies11: Yay!! Congrats!
-
@lilyofthewest I think I'm going to order it and give it a try! I just have a feeling that I'm not pregnant this month so looks like we need to try something new
thank u!
-
@travellingbee: ooo I totally believe in stuff like that! my DH is really into numbers too...here's to hoping this is it for you!
-
I'm at 9 DPO today, and I'm really itching to test - we had good timing this month (hit O-3, O-2, O, and O+1), so I'm pretty hopeful.
I found this chart that tells you the probability of getting a positive for each day post-ovulation, for those of you curious: http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/results-by-day-past-ovulation.php. It's basically convinced me to wait a little bit longer, but ahhh, the anticipation is killing me!
-
@raspberries haha I totally feel you!! I tested yesterday because I couldn't take it but it said negative, I did it to myself though by testing too early!! I'm on 9 dpo today too, it looks like tomorrow has good chances of being accurate. We hit O-5, o-3, O-2, and O as well!!' Maybe we will both get our
this round!!!
-
@raspberries are we suppose to have symptoms already because I don't feel any different
-
@Ashleyf21: Hahaha, I know what you mean, girl! I'm like, "Oh man, nachos sound good for lunch today... wait, maybe it's a pregnancy craving?!" Yeah, no, I'm pretty sure nachos just always sound good.
I've had a little bit of a headache this week and tender boobs, but I have the same symptoms a few days before AF shows up, so who the heck knows?
-
@raspberries: @Ashleyf21: i tested at 11dpo and was completely negative... tested at 12dpo and got a positive, even on a digital and not using FMU! so it's crazy how much can change in just a day.
-
@loki: Good to know! Going from that link I posted and your advice, I'm going to try to hold off until Sunday (12DPO) to start obsessively testing... also because I bought more FRERs before work this morning, and those puppies are expeeeensive.
-
@loki that's good to know!!
thank you!@raspberries haha thanks for the laugh! Good luck!!!
-
Ok, so after getting flashing smiley faces from Saturday until Tuesday, I got a solid yesterday. Does that mean I O'd today?
-
@jennyg usually that means you will ovulate in the next 12-36 hours
-
@loki: Okay, I think it's safe to move me to Roll-overs as there's still no thermal shift.
I finally talked to my ob yesterday. I picked up the Provera, and I'm supposed to start it on Tuesday (assuming still no thermal shift, which seems unlikely). Also upped the Metformin as I'm tolerating it fairly well. So, hopefully on to next month!
-
@JennyG: Usually I O the day after the positive opk. Are you temping?
-
@travellingbee: No, I'm not temping. It's our first month TTC so I figured I'd give it a few months before I start that. Hoping it's not necessary.
So, if I O'd yesterday then we hit O-4 O-2, O-1, and hopefully O+1 sometime today.

Lots of testers in the last few days... any news, ladies??? (hope i didn't miss any messages!)
-
@Ashleyf21: @raspberries: I told my DH my stomach was upset yesterday, and he was 'pregnant???,' and I had to remind him that I hadn't actually ovulated yet
-
@mrsvdv: Did you have a chance to test this morning? And I had meant to ask what book you were reading to distract you until testing time - and did it work? If so, send it my way, because I could use some distraction!
@Bookish: Ha, baby fever in a DH is just about the cutest baby fever on earth!
-
@loki: I think @shortiecake said she was out (and she's probably on her way to Vegas this weekend, which makes me jealous and angry and that my weekend plans are basically a giant pile of laundry.)
-
I'm out for this month, AF showed up a couple days early. On to the next month!
-
@LindsayLou: Booo - good luck next time!
-
@raspberries have u stayed strong or did u cave in like me and test?
-
Congrats to the August BFPs so far! Seems like a slow month so far, but fingers crossed for the second half of the August ladies!!! Lots of baby dust!
-
@Ashleyf21: so far, so good... I'm trying to hold out until Sunday to test! Fingers crossed for both of us
