Good luck ladies! Can't believe we're in July already!! I'm getting ready to join for the Sept/Oct thread so until then, crossing my fingers for you guys!

Ok I'm trying not to think too much but I just checke CP and it was pretty high and closed! Well more closed then I have ever felt it. It's never been closed before so I don't really know if it's actually closed now but it feels a lot more closed then 2 days ago. Good sign???!
For reference I'm on CD33 with an average of 34-100 day cycles. I'm not going to test til July 7th.

@LovelyPlum: Wow!!! Thanks for doing this! You are so awesome!! Hello Bee is so much fun. I bought an Ovulation predictor kit just to add to the excitement. I'm really wishing everyone great luck this month and always!!

My temp went up this morning and I was DYING to test. I restrained myself, though

I'm confused...I have two apps that I keep track of my cycles on. It had be O'ing on June 26th for one, and then just gave me a window of fertile days on the other app (in that same week). I got positive OPK's June 27th and June 28th (with a negative on the 26th when it said I should O, but obviously it's just an app). So if I got a positive OPK on June 27th and 28th and it went back to negative the evening of the 29th is there any way to figure out how many dpo I actually am? The apps also have AF due July 9th and July 11th. I know I could just wait and test the 11th but it drives me crazy not knowing if I'm more like 6dpo or 2-3 dpo. Thoughts?

@Bao: I would think you're 4 dpo if you got a positive OPK on the 28th. Did you check your CM during that time to figure out when you were actually Oing?
grapefruit / 4311 posts
@Bao: i'd ignore the apps and count from the positive OPKs for DPO. i usually count my second day of positives as O day.
persimmon / 1388 posts
@Bao: I'd say based on your OPK's that you O'd the 28th or 29th, not the 26th. I think they only pick up the hormone surge BEFORE you O, so you're probably closer to 3-4 dpo, maybe? That's my best guess
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22276 posts
@BabyBoecksMom: I got a ridiculous amount of EWCM on the 27th but I never knew how to determine if it comes before, after or during ovulation.
@runnerd: ok thanks, I don't know much about opks so never knew how to figure out which day was O day.
@doxielove: We will say the later date so I can hold off on POAS longer
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22276 posts
@MrsKoala: ok we will go with 4 days then! I will just hold off on POAS as long as I can (who are we kidding)

So I caved and tested today. I'm pretty sure I'm 11 DPO and got a negative. I know it's not over yet and I still have time but I don't really feel any symptoms either way.

@anonysquire: @doxielove: oooh,yay on both accounts. That is super exciting!!
eggplant / 11408 posts
@Bao: trying to hold off testing is kinda the same thing as not testing, right?
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22276 posts
@Boopers: I had zero symptoms when I got pregnant with LO, so don't give up yet!
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22276 posts
Someone needs to test soon I'm getting anxious for some positives!
persimmon / 1388 posts
@Bao: LOL me too!! Don't tempt me into testing early I may cave and test tomorrow...depends on if I start spotting today and/or how my temperature is tomorrow...we shall see!!
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22276 posts
@doxielove: I vote test in the morning! I'm such a bad influence I know.

(Not trying!)
Just wanted to pop out of lurking to wish everyone good luck this month! I'm terribly jealous...I joined HB after I was pregnant with DS so I never got to be on one of these threads (I was on one on WB, but not nearly as good Hope I can join one someday (and I really hope none of you are on it!!!)
honeydew / 7463 posts
@doxielove: Gahhh! That's exciting! I never claimed to be patient, I vote test in the AM if your temp is still up
GOLD / papaya / 10166 posts
@Boopers: I had zero symptoms w/ DD except sore boobs for one day. Don't give up yet
@doxielove: test test test! Ugh - I have to wait until the end of the month to even think about testing so I want to vicariously POAS through someone else - haha
