i Oed on cd15 due to the +opk that i took on CD14 and i got O pain on cd15 from 9.30 am til about 4-5pm but my my ff chart says i also o'ed on cd15 due to the +opk test but my temp on cd15 and cd16 stayed the same when it should have gone up meaning i could have o'ed on cd16 and not on cd15 meaning my sway is up S*** creek this month
My temps are still pretty low no where near as high as last month and basically the same as pre-Ouvlation
oh i just want to cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am having a few cramps here and there and my nipples are abit sore with stabbing pain but its most likely AF symptoms
Can someone please have a look at my FF and tell me what they think?? i dont have cross hair on their either which is strange being 4DPO

Looks like you could have o on cd 16..
Chunksta, are you sure your opk was definitely +? Just asking, because I got one a week before I actually Oed that looked *pretty* + but then a week later I got a true + one. Your temps would definitely go up afterwards. Hmmmm....I don't know, I would say you either did O when you think you did (listening to your body's cues are the best way to know!) or your body tried and got close but didn't release and egg and will soon. Sorry this is confusing, I know how frustrating it is!
Skrimpy and begonia, I agree.....it's hard just not knowing which is the path of least heartache. I also think it would be fun to not find out the gender and have a surprise at birth, especially since this is my last and I've never done that.
Oh Lola huni you sure can make me laugh!:happy: Esp the part with skinny a$$ ballerinas :rofl:Quote:

It's so lame you guys are living across the ocean, I would love to invite you to a cup of coffee while our BOYS are playing :wink:
Common guys, I want to hear those +opk so that I have company for obsessing during 2WW :D
Skrimpy and begonia, Its hard to think which path to take. IN my case I did not want to find out as far along as possible. DH did not think its a big deal we should or not. He thought it would be fun to find out since we did not find out with our first and it was exciting in the delivery, mostly for my DH :). This time, I thought they'd tell me only like around 20 weeks, so thats half way. So first half you are enjoying the pregnancy (with bouts of gender obsessions) and the second half you are either relieved or trying to come to terms. So I thought that was the best option for me.
Since this is our last we wanted to experiance everything inluding finding out before hand. I went to the scan completely unaware that there could even be a possiblity that they would guess. I really wished after I blurted out so causually, "sure" that I could have taken it back. It was best for me to find midway. But till then your mind could be be completly occupied on analyzing every symtom, even OWT and every crazy calender thats our there.
I did that for the first 2-3 weeks and then.. just re analyzed things and stopped obsessing cold turkey. It did prop up now and then though.
If you are tempted to sneak out and get that private scan you could totally blurt it out to DH at some point.
Chunksta, Did you take another OPK at CD15. Its best to take it until it turns -ve to be completly sure. Sometimes there is a slow rise.
Oh Chunksta that is a tough one! I echo what some others have brought up, are you sure that OPK was 100% positive? And were you checking your CP/CM?
I had more re: u/s but am now required to go hold my sick DD. Back later...
BBT should be more reliable then OPK if you are doing it right ( that's why I'm not even trying....) I'd say by chart you've Oed on CD 16, but Lola is probably right: maybe this cycle your body got very close to O but didn't release the egg.
Don't be desperate, you know your next cycle is just around the corner:luck:
I would totally take you up on that! Isn't it funny how we form such good friendships online and never meet each other? :bigsmile: But I think it's pretty common with the older guys. Someone recently told me that I should start watching porn with him. I was like WHAT?? I don't think so, I have ballerinas to make me feel fat and unsexy already!!!! :thumbsdown:Quote:

Chunksta... I am not sure you O'd? I know you got the +OPK, but you do not have a clear coverline or a strong thermal shift. I am curious to see what your temps will do over the next few days. Did you have anything stressful happen around the +OPK? That could delay an ovulation possibly.
If I were just glancing at this chart I would say it's anovulatory - but that +OPK is interesting in there...
I remember from our old thread at IG that there was a poster (I want to say Medic? Not that it matters but Lola/Aqua does that sound right?) that went to her OB b/c she'd been TTC for a long time and was told that you CAN have a +OPK during an anovulatory cycle... so maybe that has something to do with it?Quote:

I had a tickly throat today- so conveniently took some Robitussin. We DTD yesterday and DH was an 8. He has gotten as high as a 8.5, but no 9. Oh well, we are happy with that!
No i didnt take another opk because i heard you really should only take them until one turns + ???? or should i keep testing til they become negative?? And as for cm it was egg white for a few days and i got O pains on cd15 and then cd16 my cm became watery and less of it then it just became sticky lotion like?:worry: i dont know i just, i feel over temping and trying sometimes and get upset that it hasnt happened:tissue::tissue::tissue::tissue::tissue::t issue:..... oh well will find out the end of next week if i am or not
I wont be on the comp for a few days am going away over easter, So wont get back on til tuesday
Hope everyone has a good Easter (if its easter in other countries besides Australia :rofl:)
I think it was Medic (any updates from her?)Quote:

I did think I Ovulated that cycle, but since its not a BFP cycle you'll never know.
Chakutsa, for your reference, I have made it the second chart in my homepage here:
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/319451
Yeah, the OPK books tell that after you get a +ve OPK, just monitor other things to know when you actually ovulated. I could never read my CP properly. So I took 2 OPKs a day until it turned -ve to pinpoint ovulation. Some ladies are pretty good at going by cm and cp after a +ve OPK. The chart will also give you an idea why I took everyday OPKs, I used to get 2 days of +ve OPK and sometimes only 1. So I needed to see it go -ve to pinpoint the day atleast. Hope it helps
Taken out of context this is just a fabulous sentence :-)Quote:

If neg does mean O has occured that would definitely help pinpoint things! I can pretty much tell my O day from my CP though. CM throws me off since my EWCM comes prior to my O, but I can definitely tell a difference in my cervix on my O day.Quote:

If you see the first chart which is the BFP one, we DTD in the PM, on CD 15. I did that after OPK went -ve. I did take a chance there on the fear on hitting O+12. But OPK was +ve in the morning, so I knew BD at night put me very close to O. CM was actually teh higest on +ve OPK Day 1 and not as much as that on +ve OPK Day 2. See it was tough for me to get it with cm and cp.
Aaaaah, that definitely helps me Aqua. Thanks for sharing.
I'm ticked. I just tested my CM (I use pHion strips, not digital so here's hoping they are wrong) and I'm still quite acidic. It's frustrating b/c the diet definitely changed my urine pH, which used to be super acidic, into optimal/alkaline depending on the day. So I KNOW there is an impact in my body based on the huge dietary changes. But it sure isn't showing up in my CM.
Booo. I should O on Friday so I'll test it then and see if I get an increase. When I do BSF it shoots to 9 no problem but I really feel like what matters more is your natural state. Super frustrated. *Sigh* I will try to make myself feel better knowing that some women (Atomic I know you were one with DS 4) can have a low pH and still get boys.
Chunksta' Keep temping only BBT will tell if you really did o'ed or not. According to my temps I did o'ed, but no CM or +OPK (Wired Cycle). BBT is more reliable. Good luck.
Me too! and good luck to you.Quote:

Good news ELP!.. I hope you get your BFP soon. Just wondering did you O on time?
Whoo hoo ELP! FX for the BFP!
Jen I'm guessing you're still waiting on your opk?!?
Spicy I can't remember, are you attempting this cycle? I think 8 is a great pH for your DH!

Got a -opk this morning (not fmu) but I think I'll retest this evening as there's lots of slime today and cervix is feeling like I'll O very soon.
Fingers crossed for you ELP!!
Good luck ELP!
Happy anniversary 3PNB!
