I usually just blurt it out too, which I will probably end up doing if I actually wait for father’s day. I think he might be upset if I kept it secret that long lol! I like the mirror idea! We did the shirt idea last time for telling family. I’ve seen those cups and they are really cute! But he doesn’t drink much coffee/tea anymore. I’m going to search Pinterest since it’s a bit darker today so I guess it must be real lol!!

Cassidy - I remember one of the ladies on here awhile back wrote "Hi Dad!" with marker on her belly and then I think when she got into bed one night told to DH to lift up her shirt or something! I thought that was cute.
Kiku - YAY!!!!!! There is something satisfying about seeing it on a digital. So happy for you!!!!!!
HG - are you using the advanced CB digital OPKs? I'm guessing so as the regulars don't flash. Did you start those this morning? Flashing means "high fertility" - it means it's picking up estrogen but NOT LH yet - so it's still considered a negative OPK. I always have 4-5 days of flashing before I get a solid, but, some people only get one or two. This being your first month using it we have no idea how many more days you'll get the flashing before solid. I would hold off if your wondfo is not yet positive since you know you normally get a positive on those and from what you said it's not quite there yet. You may end up with a solid smiley on the CB digital tomorrow. And don't worry about bleeding thing on the test strip - mine always do that. As far as big O, a lot of ladies on here have gotten girls with big O so I wouldn't stress too much over that if it helps DH out. If you really need lube just maybe use a small amount of a "non-sperm friendly" one (basically, just not Preseed). I think atomic has even OK'd using a very small amount of Preseed if you really, really need it.
So I'm 15 dpo and my HCG is 967 and progesterone is 36!! AHHH!!! :omg: Sooooo we'll see what happens from here!! Next blood draw is not until Friday.
OMG ABC THAT'S AMAZING!!!!
Not to freak you out, but you know what I'm thinking now...!
ABC! HOLY MACKEREL!! When do you get your second draw? Will they do a scan?
Thanks PBN, I'll definitely join my ddg, but for some reason I've been in denial it's real?? The first trimester is such a mind game, which I had forgotten about.
Cassidy, definitely darker!! Easily see it now!
That is a really cute idea ABC!
Fabulous result ABC!!! Your first scan is going to have us all on the edge of our seats [emoji23][emoji130]
Hgmama that's getting close on the wondfo but if you usually get a blazing pos I'd hold off until solid smiley/first (not necessarily blazing) pos opk. I also wouldn't risk any more attempts now as perhaps if you hold off a couple days it may make dh release easier plus I too would also use a small amount of preseed. Lube will not make or break your sway and if it's going to help get a viable attempt in then use it. Another idea as well is maybe try to mix it up a bit at the beginning? Perhaps some hand or mouth stimulation for hubby to really get him going? Hope I'm not being too blunt and embarrassing anyone [emoji85] but this is too important for niceties [emoji12]
Emshe how are things with you? Hiw are the opks looking? Really hoping clomid will bring o a little forward this cycle. It's felt like forever since your last 2ww!!! So keen to see you there again!!
Thanks :) I go back on Friday!Quote:

Thanks ladies!! Can't wait to see what the Friday number is!!
Emshe - Booooo I'm sorry about your cold!!! That sucks!! I hope you feel better soon! (although, being sick is supposed to sway pink!!). So excited for your OPK to turn positive!! Come on, egg!!!!
Ugh- I wrote a long reply last night at the baseball game and it disappeared on my last sentence. So here it goes again.
ABC & Pbn3- Thanks for responding! Yes I am using CB Adv dig opk. It technically is my second cycle using it, since I got pregnant with it in January. However, I went from 3 days of open circle straight to solid smiley. I completely planned on following both of your advice and waiting, but then DH got home and I took advantage of him being in the mood. Thankfully it led to a successful attempt, but I DO NOT think it will be our one attempt. My wondfo LH was pretty light this am so I think I am going to have a longer cycle and O in several days from now. My January cycle did that, got lighter and then rose appropriately to a proper blazing. Thanks for telling me about the bleeding test thing. I think I will give up the no big O, thanks to you gals. It will help DH mentally and me physically with dryess. However when I have EWCM, I don’t have that problem. First off, nothing is too blunt or embarrassing for me… and gals this is life changing advice. We dtd in the guest bedroom since our son was napping in ours. Switched up location. In the past, even some of the unsuccessful attempts, I did some hand stim prior. Unfortunately, I haven’t done oral in a while bc it’s been after long days of sweaty work. But maybe I should suck it up (literally:rolleyes:) to see if it really gets him out of TTC mode.
I am out for this months, ladies! AF showed her ugly face right on time as usual. So I will see some of your next month! Super excited for everyone who got their BFPs this month! Congrats again!

Feeling good about it even though it's faint- i never get anything on frers unless it's real. Fx bubba sticks!
Eeeeekkk!!!! Woohoo kittendreams [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322] that's a great line for 9dpo!!!! Congratulations!!!!
Eighme sorry to hear af arrived [emoji17] hugs and here's to June being your month [emoji482]

Hgmama those last few lines of your poat had me lol [emoji23]
It would be great if your pos opk held off till cd11 as that would be like an e4d attempt pattern giving you one attempt at really good conception odds [emoji3]
Sorry about af Eighme [emoji53]
Well I’ve got a positive opk today and no hubby here to try. What a waste! So it will be on to next month for me too

I see it Kitten! Congratulations!!
Mummy2boys if you o today (and I'm sure in the past you've oed same day as pos opk?) then that would give you a 2-o attempt which is fantastic!! Even a 3-o has some chance. It'll be the cycle you're least expecting it that you'll get your bfp [emoji6] fx fx fx it's this one!
Hope so Pbn! Yeah think I have oed on the same day a couple of times.
Didn’t have any Ewcm when we bd though and but have loads now. Will update tomorrow and hope for a temp rise! I do feel like I may be ovulating today 🤞
