So AF returned yesterday. Normally I’m not a fan, but the sooner I start, the sooner I can try once we are given the go ahead. I had my appointment this morning with my new(er) doctor, and I feeling so much better with this doc. She didn’t just say that I tried to soon, and that we should wait longer. Instead, she said lets get down to business to…[Read more]

wantsagirl-if you’re not going to use OPK’s the best advice I can give (and it worked for us this month!) is starting on CD10, BD every other day until you get AF or a + PG test. That way you will be certain to hit the window and you won’t have to worry about anything else.

Monica-there are several progressions of tests. The last one was from this morning. The darkest on before that was from last night. Also, you may want to look on eBay for OPK tests. I use the Wondfro kind and I got a lot for not a whole lot of money.

I just uploaded the latest OPK pic.

@monsta-yeah so I’m thinking since I was sick when I was suppose to O, that it delayed it and I am going to soon. I am going to test again this afternoon and see if the result is still a +. As long as it is still a + I haven’t O’d yet, but will soon-is that correct thinking?

Monica-Well it’s not a + unless it is as dark or darker than the control line. I test twice a day-once in the afternoon and once in the evening. I got my first + last night and then another one this morning. I am going to test again this afternoon too. I would recommend testing again 2-3 hours later and try to drink as little as possible.

@monica-is the test line as dark or darker than the control line? If it is then it is a + test. If it is lighter then it is not +. I just got a positive test this morning and I will be posting a pic in a bit if you want to take a look.

I had a 100% positive OPK this morning! Will be doing BD later. If I understand OPK’s right, as long as I have a positive test then I haven’t O’d YET. But I will soon. Is that correct? Also, just curious if one can get a positive OPK test before getting a positive PG test?

Hey ladies, I have questions. At 7 DPO I had a small spec of brownish blood and it was like that when I wiped. I’ve had a crazy appetite since then and my temps have been high. The last 2 days they’ve been 98 or higher. BUT tonight I’ve had some pains on my right side down by my hip bone. Does that mean anything?

looks like the joy was short lived as I started bleeding early this morning. I’ve done some research and I believe I had a chemical pregnancy due to an LP defect. I’ve gotten some soy isoflavens to start this month and hopefully it will work next month. I am sad, but I’m more sad for my neighbors. I like in Joplin, MO and the devastation from the…[Read more]

Hey ladies. I just got a + OPK tonight and it’s only been 10 days since my cycle. I don’t know for sure when I’ll get AF, but I was wondering if early ovulation can effect conception chances or M/C chances.

Just found out today that our baby doesn’t have a heartbeat and didn’t have any growth past 7 weeks. I’m almost 11 weeks. My options are to have a D/C or let it happen naturally, but they don’t know when that will happen. I am leaning towards a D/C, but was wondering what everyone’s opinions are. We’re kind of in a daze right now. It sucks and…[Read more]

Hey all! Been exhausted again today and I’ve been hungry with specific cravings. Also, I’ve been FREEZING even though it’s not really cold today.

Thanks guys! I am 3 DPO so I am going to go take some. I will be napping a lot today I think. I can feel it settling in my neck and shoulders. YUCK.

Morning ladies! FF confirmed my O today which I expected as much. However, I this morning with a sore throat and clogged sinuses. I was wondering if that would effect getting preggo. Do you ladies know? My DH says it won’t matter as long as I don’t get a fever. Is it okay to still take medicine like sudafed? What do you guys think?

@sherry-thanks! I told myself I wouldn’t obsess about this time; that I would just take things as they came, but that is SO hard to do! Especially when my body is not acting the way I am used to!

@green-still no AF and it’s halfway through the day here. I had a few severe cramps this morning, but nothing since. That is NOT normal for me. Normally I have constant cramping and back pain for the first 2-3 days of my cycle. I am currently on day of my cycle and 15 DPO. @everyone-My last period was on 8/26 and it lasted a normal time. However,…[Read more]

So ladies, I don’t think OPK’s are confusing anymore! I also understand why you would need so many and why people write on them! They makes perfect sense to me now, and I think I may just use them next time (if I don’t get PG) instead of temping since my wake up times vary so much. I will be posting a pic of the progression when it’s complete if…[Read more]

@jj-I think I am right there with you. I am so confused though everyone. I keeping having cramping on and off, got a BFN this morning at 12/13 DPO, but I woke up starving which when I have AF I have little to no appetite. Also, FF has me at 72 points, but I don’t know what to think of that. Like I said, all the tests have been BFN. They have been…[Read more]
