@littlek: I would take an FRER...that's what mine looked like when I got my last two bfps!
-
@littlek: It sure does, but I've heard that it can happen. Of course, I definitely think it calls for a HPT.
-
@HolisticMama: Awww-thank you so much. I love your dolphin:).
@winniebee: Thank very much you!
@sarahnicole218: Thanks so much!
@kimberlybee: Thank you! FX it sticks-the lines aren't getting as dark as I'd like..... -
Alright it's CD11 and I'm officially gearing up for fertile week and O! We DTD last night to kick off! I feel weird about doing OPK at work (I don't know how to hide it walking around, and don't want to be caught looking at it at my desk!), so I plan on using OPK as soon as I get home from work, around 6pm. I have not been temping, I should probably start so I can see if I can pinpoint O.
-
@littlek: I think that looks pretty dark to be 10dpo. FRER!!
-
@ChiCalGoBee: late to the party as I was away all weekend, but congrats!!! FX for a sticky babe!!
@snowjewelz: good luck!!
On what I think is 4 DPO (FF hasn't given me crosshairs yet as I missed taking my temp yesterday morning). TWW hasn't quite taken it's toll on me quite yet. I told myself I wouldn't test unless AF doesn't show. We'll see how long that lasts.
I'm kind of gearing up for next cycle already, preparing myself... friends of DH's wants him to go away for the weekend at the end of the month and I told him "Yeah that probably won't be happening because I will most likely get the green light right on that weekend!" He wasn't too impressed and said he doesn't want to put his whole life on hold.. I got a little upset and was ready to say, "What do you think is gonna happen when we have a baby?!" but he backed down and said he "doesn't really wanna go anyway." Sigh... I'm so looking forward to our journey. ::eyeroll::
-
@ChiCalGoBee: congrats again! So excited for you
-
@littlek Test on a FRER!!
AFM, sorry I've been off the boards this weekend - was pretty discouraged when AF arrived on time Saturday morning. I am pleased, though, that now my cycle days are lining up with actual month dates this month
Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us POAS in March!
-
@theotherstark: Boo, I'm sorry AF showed up! But hopefully March is still your month!!
-
So just took this OPK (11 am). How should I keep using OPKs? Is once a day enough or should I up to 2-3?
-
@theotherstark: nice! Feb was like that for me- makes it so much easier to remember
-
@Radish: Ooooh! I have no advice on the rest of your OPKing, but that looks nice and positive to me! You should start BDing, regardless of what you do with the other OPKs!
-
@Radish: that's positive!!! Bd girl
-
@Adira: Oh we have and will be. I warned my husband that Saturday was the beginning of what could be up to a 10 day streak. FF puts ovulation at tomorrow with a pos OPK today, so maybe I should just do that and save the OPKs. Part of me just wants to know for sure when it goes back to negative for some added knowledge.
-
@Adira: thanks so much!
@anyajenkins: Ha, it is super nice! I wish they all lined up like this
@Radish: Positive!! I know some people stop after they get a positive, but I usually will do one more that afternoon (if I get a
in the morning), and then another few the next few days, just to see it fade out.
-
@theotherstark: I'm sorry
-
@drjolene: I'm so sorry honey. I hope that you get a chance to POAS again in March.
@littlek: OMG you are killing me! can i just say that i really think this is it for you! i hope I am right. Are you still having creamy CM?
@theotherstark: i'm sorry doll. I hope you will get to poas
@Radish: looks like you ovulated. You should definitely dtd today as well but i know you said you have been doing everyday so i am sure you are covered. FX my dear.
@Adira: have you thought of taking an OPK to see if you are gearing up to O? it would be stark white if you were nowhere near but if you are close it should be positive or at least close. i hope you O soon.
@HellOnHeels: sorry you are in the TTC belljar. I know it all to well. I hope you see a bfp soon.
-
@littlek: I echo @MrsMccarthy...You're killing me!
Are you going to test today or wait until tomorrow?
-
@littlek: Thanks
@MrsMccarthy: Thanks, lady. I should; my cycles are pretty dang regular. Still POAS buddies!!
-
@bushelandapeck: @MrsMccarthy: DH said I'm not allowed to test anymore until I'm supposed to (which in his mind is when my period is due). AF is due Thursday, so if she doesn't show, I'll retest Saturday.
-
@littlek: Ooooh!!! Take another FRER!!!!
@Adira: @HolisticMama: Ugh, I think all three of us are married to the same man. Hello. HB Sister Wives!! Last cycle was extraordinarily trying, and this cycle has also been a strain. We want to his EOD, but by the time O comes, we are both exhausted and cranky. I think it might be best to not start so early on the EOD train if we have a next cycle, which I hope to God we don't.
@ChiCalGoBee: Hugs and lots of sticky baby vibes your way! Are you still spotting? When do you visit the dr?
@Radish: Start BDing!! That is definitely a positive.
My dumb brain made me take a Wandfo HPT this morning. I am 8/9 DPO and it was a BFN.
-
@littlek: Booo! Take one now! lol
If I do by my regular pre-MC cycles, AF is due Wednesday. If we got by O, AF should be due Friday.
-
@littlek: Not even on Thurs? Pretty please
-
@Crystal: This is why next cycle (please please no next cycle), I'm going to buy OPKs! I had NOOOOO idea when to start BDing, so we stared around CD 20 and we did EOD and we're SICK OF IT and there's a possibility that maybe I haven't even ovulated yet now at CD 36!!!
-
@theotherstark: Thanks, I thought people did that. I think I'm going to save the tests this time since I did test at 8 pm last night after a long hold and it was fairly negative - I'll just assume tomorrow.
@MrsMccarthy: I feel like seeing that positive is the start of holding my breath for 2 weeks.
@littlek: FX Lady!
-
@holisticmama: feeling like AF is about to show up, but I am still going to be optimistic and hope for the best. On the bright side I am going on vacation the 14th and if AF comes I will be able to let loose a little
@snowjewlz: good luck! -
@Crystal: I'm still really hopeful for you this cycle. I'm crossing everything for you!
-
@littlek: No EWCM (but I never have it), but it was watery again (has been creamy for the past week). Ugh... I was really hoping I had already ovulated... Cervix seems low and firm though, so I have no idea what's going on! Shouldn't it be higher and softer if I'm ovulating??
-
@Radish: " I feel like seeing that positive is the start of holding my breath for 2 weeks." So much this. And over-analyzing any little twinge.
Thank you for tangling your body for me! lol
@Adira: I have OPKs, but I think I need to start temping. I know when I get my surge, but I have no clue what that means in relation to when I actually O.
Has your CM been giving you any clear signs?
-
@Crystal: I will pee myself when you get your BFP. I will be so excited.
That is all. Teehee. @KelLeeLeee: Ooooh....vacation! Oh la la! Where to?
@Radish: Bow wow wow chica wow wow. I have no idea why DH doesn't think it it sexy when I sing this to him. You're not doing EOD?
@littlek: I aspire to be as patient as you are.
@MrsMccarthy: What is new with you? I'm like...three weeks behind in posts. :: sigh ::
-
@Crystal: Well, based on my CM and CP, I THOUGHT I had ovulated CD 27/28. I saw watery CM from CD 11 - CD 27 and my cervix was higher and soft on CD 27. Immediately following, my CP was low and firm and my CM was creamy! But today it's watery again (cervix still low and firm), so I'm not sure what's going on!

-
@HolisticMama: after 7 cycles of BFN you learn to be patient
-
@Adira: Can you overlay December and January? I think your temp trends are similar in December, but I'm sick and having trouble matching them up.
-
@Adira: Your description made me think of our cervix purposely moving around to confuse us and laughing at us.
-
Just want to pop in and thank @Radish: & @littlek: for posting OPK pictures. This is my first cycle using them, and I'm not really sure what to expect from them, especially with PCOS. So far they have all looked pretty similar to @littlek:'s (and I hope yours means a :bfp:, @littlek:!). Nothing as dark as @Radish: yet, but now I know what a positive looks like in real life, and not just on the picture on the package! So, thanks, ladies!
-
@littlek: Ugh, I am on 8 and I am still not patient! Teach me your ways! LOL
@HolisticMama: thanks, friend! I will be peeing on lots of things too!
Sometimes I think our bodies do move around on purpose, just to confuse us.
@Adira: How are you liking temping?
I haven't started charting or temping yet (next cycle!), so I am unsure how to read those. Sorry!
-
@ABCmrs: I actually have an entire series of OPKs I can post, but I'm not sure how helpful they would be... I have never actually caught a positive yet. I have done an OPK every day this cycle.
-
@HolisticMama: I would be interested to see what yours look like! I started taking mine on CD10 (I'm now CD17), and they have all had a line of some sort, and they are perhaps getting a little bit darker, but definitely nothing positive so far. But, that's also not too surprising seeing as my body apparently likes to try to ovulate, but doesn't actually go through with it. So I'm absolutely curious to see what other people see on their OPKs
-
@ABCmrs: So far I haven't had any white OPKs...although today looked a bit white. I will take a picture when I get home.
I did a whole series, because last cycle I _thought_ I ovulated, even had dark OPKs...and then 8 days later, apparently I really did ovulate (according to when AF arrived) and I did also have another batch of dark OPKs. -
@BakerBee: I can't! I just have the free membership!
@HolisticMama: haha, it totally is! It's mocking my pain!
@Crystal: I temped when TTC for #1, so I'm fairly used to it. The only annoying part is that my stupid thermometer continuously beeps once it gets a temp read, so it bothers Hubs! But pre-baby, my temps were usually pretty clear and it was almost always obvious when I ovulated because I'd get a huge spike! But post-baby, last cycle, my temps were all over the place, and this cycle I feel like I've had a very SLOW temp rise over the last week and I'm not sure what that means! Did I ovulate? Am I still waiting to ovulate? I don't know and FF clearly doesn't know either!
in the morning), and then another few the next few days, just to see it fade out.
Are you going to test today or wait until tomorrow?
