Hellobee Boards

@Happygal: Well, I saw them as positives...because I always understood you take the darkest part of the test line to compare to the control line, and the far edge of the test lines those days were definitely as dark as the control line. I also had every symptom to coincide with O. But then I have continued to get these ALMOST positives almost daily that I'm second guessing my ability to read a positive test. I think I might invest in some digital tests instead. No confusion.

@sarahnicole218: Might be worth posting pics of your test to see if any of us see anything different? Again, I feel like I've heard others have a similar experience with a lot of +OPKs after Clomid. But, if you're not sure if they're positive, that's another story. My positives are all dark, not just the edges of the strip.

@sarahnicole218: Okay, from my experience, that is NOT positive. The test line is lighter than the control line. How many days after taking Clomid are you expected to O? Have the test lines varied or always been that medium color?

I do have a photo from a "positive" day...and I think maybe I just read it that way because I had other symptoms too...this is driving me crazy! Lol.

@sarahnicole218: I tried digitals this cycle and I don't know if they're necessarily any better. Maybe just a bit easier to read? I would start a post explaining what's going on. I'm fairly certain others have been in your position before and may be able to explain things a bit better!

@FaithFertility: I'm sorry

@sarahnicole218: how frustrating!!!

@LindsayInNY: that is an AWESOME looking chart! Woohoo and fx!

@Crystal: I started getting some

@sarahnicole218: . Big Effing Negative.

I think I got one of the bad wandfo batches that gave false positives. I must *really* not be pregnant if I'm getting stark white on those. I'm 12 DPO, so I'm starting to lose hope.

@Crystal: I'm sorry Crystal! Do you feel AF symptoms today?

@mrs. tictactoe: I think its awesome to wait to POAS. I have peed on a stick early for 8 months and it totally sucks. Best of luck, lady!

So I just sort of started temping this month. I hate it, so I don't know why I'm doing it. I got a positive OPK on Saturday so I naturally assume I Oed on Sunday. But when I plug in tomorrow's anticipated temp, the cross-hairs pop up on Fertility Friend and show that I Oed on Monday. Ugh. FML. I didn't BD on Monday or Tuesday. And I generally don't BD much after my suspected O date. Not intentionally, just by unfortunate circumstance. So I only BDed O-3, O-2 and O-1. Would there be any benefit to BDing O+2 (which is tonight)??? Gees ladies. This sucks.

@sarahnicole218: I'm always curious where you are taking your pictures?? I imagine you somewhere trying to be sneaky!

@bluestriped bee: Good luck, lady. I feel the same all the time.

@MrsMcD: what made you decide to temp? Can you share your chart? That should help us figure out what FF is thinking. As for 0+2, I think the chances of conceiving by then would be slim, but it could help you to feel better!

ETA: your timing is really good as it is right now! 0-2 seems to give you the best chances, and you did that.

I guess I never updated: AF is in full force now. I never scheduled my HSG for this month. I'm just too busy to get off of work. Our PTO cycle is funky, we don't get new days until March. I'm using the last of my days to take my car in to the shop next week (got rear ended last week! That's a different rant...) So, here's to positive results in March!!

@Crystal: I try to lie still for 5 minutes maybe? Any longer and I get a nasty UTI

@FaithFertility: I'm sorry

@Snowdrop: That's really annoying that they're making you wait that long for unexplained infertility!!

@LindsayInNY: Woot woot, your chart it lookin' good so far!! Sooooo rooting for ya, girl!!

@bluestriped bee: I hope your TWW flies by!!

@Snowdrop: 14 day LP.

@sarahnicole218: I have started to break out a bit, which is a usual AF symptom, but ever since my MC my symptoms have changed. Last time I got no warning AF was starting, and I am not having any regular symptoms this time either.

@mrs. tictactoe: I think I might take the waiting tactic next month.

@littlek: AF is due tomorrow or Friday if I calculated it correctly. Its still a bit off normal since the MC, so even this cycle is longer than it has been, but based off my positive OPKs, tomorrow is my best guess.

@MrsMcD: It can't hurt to BD tonight! And I think o-2 has the highest success rate, so you are good!

@bluestriped bee: I so understand where you are coming from. I am happy for all of these announcements, of course, but I just really really want my first LO. Hugs to both of us. And hugs to @MrsMcD too.

@doxielove: I always get awful UTIs, The longest I am willing to risk laying there is an hour. I always stock up on cranberry juice during O week and make DH bring me a glass while I lay there.

@Crystal: Oh my, I'm going to have DH bring me cranberry juice next time I'm "laying down." I'm sorry that the symptoms are making this cycle difficult. It's not over until AF shows! But if she does show, know that you are not alone in this. We are all here to relate to and support you!

@MrsMcD: Hahaha, I AM being sneaky! I POAS at work, but I don't want to hang out in the bathroom for 5+ minutes, so I put it in a paper towel and "discreetly" carry it to my desk. I look at it under my desk a few minutes then crumple it up and throw it away. I have another from today if ya wanna see it!
