@LindsayInNY: If forcing our husbands to BD isn't romantic, I dunno what is...
Congrats on the +OPK!!
-
@LindsayInNY: WOO HOO...awesome news! SO happy you got your
OPK!!!
-
@LindsayInNY: yayyy!! so happy you got your +OPK(s)!!
-
@LindsayInNY: hahhahaha, I'm going to try and see if I can get DH to BD tonight as well. It will be 3 nights in a row for us and the 4th of the week. If we don't get pregnant this cycle, it isn't for lack of BDing.
-
@LindsayInNY: Woo woo - yea + opk!!
@Littlebit: Could you please put me down for Oct 29th? Thanks!! So pumped I get a 2nd shot this month...!
-
Question guys, once you get your positive OPK, how long until cross hairs show up on your chart? I'm a little afraid my charting will be off due to a lingering cold I have.
-
@littlek: usually after 3 days of a continuous temp rise.
@doxielove: will do! So excited for double testers!
-
@doxielove: What DPO is that for you? I think we got positive OPKs around the same time.
-
@Littlebit: Thanks!
@littlek: I'll be 12DPO on the 29th. That's also when AF is due. FF will give you cross hairs on the 3rd day of sustained temperature rise.
-
@Littlebit: Will you update my POAS date to Halloween? That is the date AF is expected.
-
@littlek: Wohoo! Just updated it
-
@loopedd: Oh, he keeps complaining "it's been 10 out of the past 15 days"! Poor you. You think you're sore?! Yeah, same here. Suck it up and let's get BDing, LOL!
@littlek: If I knew I was going to O this late, I won't have pushed things (no pun intended!) earlier this cycle. I thought I would O around CD20ish, like usual, so we had 5 days in a row. I've made him stick to EOD since then though. Also, as for cross hairs, it's usually after 3 days of a temp rise. If your cold is affecting your temps and they're higher than usual, you can always manually override FF.
I'm hoping to get a POAS date at the very end of the month... I'm okay with early November though. I turn 30 on the 4th so it would be an awesome birthday present!
-
@LindsayInNY: That would be a great bday gift! My bday was monday.
-
@LindsayInNY: I'm hopeful that you get a great bday gift this year.
-
@NorCalWayfarer: I hope you find that you like using the OPKs.
@LindsayInNY: and @littlek: hooray for positive OPKs!! I'd love to be POAS twins with you girls!
-
I don't want to complain because I know there are many others who have been trying far longer than my piddly little 4 months, but damn, my facebook is a war zone right now. I'm not even kidding you, this week I've had 3 people announce a pregnancy, 1 announce gender, and 2 had babies.
I can't escape it! I'm sure it's always been this way but now that I have baby on the brain it's more noticeable... I just hope I get to join them soon!
-
Doctor just called - he said the blood work looked really good! Just need to go back Monday for a retest. Holy cow! Not sure I believe it yet! Thanks for all of your encouragement and support ladies!
-
@CakeLady: Yay!!! Congrats momma!!!
-
@Littlebit: I hear ya on the FB... I've had a lot of baby #2 or #3 announcements lately.
-
@CakeLady: Wonderful news! So thrilled for you!
-
@CakeLady: SO happy for you :):):)
-
Hooray for BFPs & positive OPKs!! Congrats @CakeLady:
and GL @LindsayInNY: & @littlek: !!!
-
@CakeLady: Wow congrats!!!
-
@CakeLady: yay congrats!!!
-
@LindsayInNY: I hope you get your birthday wish
@CakeLady: congrats!!! Amazing
-
@CakeLady:Congratulations!!!! Best wishes for you as things progress.
@LindsayInNY: & @littlek: we will be twins! I got my positive OPK today! Woo hoo!
-
@MrsMcD: yayyyyyy!!!
-
@LindsayInNY: Finally! Good for you!
@littlek: @MrsMcD: I can't wait to hear all three of your success stories this month!!! Pumpkin smugglers!
@Littlebit: I think I'm going to rollover to November. I'm pretty sure this is my period I am experiencing.
-
@mrskoloa: oh no.... I hope you still have a little hope for this month. But if we aren't pumpkin smugglers this month, what will we be considered next month?!?!
@Littlebit: thanks for keeping this thread awesome!
@littlek: thanks for your enthusiasm!
-
@MrsMcD: Hmmmm... well the obvious would be turkey smugglers... but according to this website (http://holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/november.htm), November has tons of special days. You could be drum smugglers, for instance :).
-
Wow, I feel like I've missed so much!
@doxielove: yay for the second chance in Oct!
@LindsayInNY: So happy for your O! I bet you are glad to be BD for the real thing now, it does get exhausting!
@Littlebit: So hoping you get to join that FB group of baby announcements very soon!
@CakeLady: Checked out your other thread, how exciting! Yay for your BFP!
I'm so excited for November now, hoping to O at end of this month.
-
Good luck to all of you who just got your positive OPKs! I feel like statistically we are due for a whole slew of BFPs in this thread!
@CakeLady: Congratulations! I feel like your story is the type that makes all of us have extra hope!
@mrskoloa: @MrsMcD: Any idea where the "smugglers" theme came from? I think it is adorable but I feel like I am missing something...
-
Okay, I am trying too hard to avoid cleaning out my closet. I went through and looked at a bunch of the old POAS threads and pulled the percentages from several that had lists at the end. So far in this thread 11.5% of participants have had a bfp, and the average for the threads I looked at was 30.9%.
So I see two pieces of great information, this thread really is due for quite a few more BFPs for us to celebrate and participating in the POAS threads raises your odds! (OK fine the last bit is purely correlation, I am sure it the fact that people are actively trying and using all the tools available to them but I am going to chalk it up to positive Hellobee magic
)
-
Good luck to everyone POAS today!!!
-
@Cole: I like your stats... Maybe this month is bottom heavy with BFPs?!
-
@mrskoloa: that link is awesome! I like November 9, "chaos never dies day!"
@Cole: I've been thinking the same thing about there percentage of BFPs this month.......
@LindsayInNY: I've been hoping for the same thing regarding positives at the end of the month!
-
I officially am not sure what is going on! I had spotting mid cycle- and got my first opk on CD 24 (usually get it on CD 19) and have had + OPKs all week. Do I just count possible ovulation from the first LH surge of + OPK day #1? I'm not temping- so I have no idea.
-
@Claire.Peonies: They've all been +? How bizarre! The most I've gotten is two +s in a row. I just got them the past two days and when I enter fake future temps in FF, my O date varies anywhere from CD 33 (first +OPK) to CD 34 (second +OPK) to CD 35 (today). WTF?! Talk about confusing! Without temping though, I don't know what to do. Maybe just keep BDing in the meantime and use the last + to determine a POAS date? I'm not much help =/
-
@LindsayInNY: No that it sound advice!
Thank-you! I'll try.. hahaha
Ooh weee, look at those BFPs! Congrats, mamas!
