Hi signingmommy, welcome and good luck!
I'm planning to test on 12th or 13th. Unless AF arrives before that. Last cycle I had a really short lp so I don't know if my body can get to 10-11dpo.

Hi signingmommy, welcome and good luck!

I had a super vivid dream last night that I got a super dark bfp that popped up right after I put the pee (with a dropper) on the test! It was so real that it took me like 20 minutes to figure out if it actually happened after I woke up. Lol! Hopefully it's a good sign!! :fx:
How is everyone doing today? :)
Praying for a healthy sticky bean!
So exciting for you magical, good luck with the scan I hope it all goes smoothly for you x
Welcome signingmommy [emoji4]
Momamia maybe the dream was a premonition!!
Had a terrible sleep last night so feeling crappy lol CD14 and time to dtd tonight as per E4D. Have started with cheapy OPKs but not seeing much as yet and no other signs either so I'm a bit doubtful I will O as early as I hoped. Oh well

mammacass, my cheapy opks always have exactly the same line until the day of the positive. It's the reason I switched to the Clearblue Advanced one. I can actually see a progression with the lines (even though you aren't supposed to check the lines). They give me 6-9 days of high and then my peak. But since I can see the darkening of the line, I have a better idea of when I'm actually about to O. My long winded point is that you might still get an early positive. Lol!
Praying for a healthy sticky bean!
Thankyou momamia, this is my first proper time trying the OPKs, here's hoping lol

Welcome signingmommy!
Momamia I love your dream!!! Fingers xed its a sign of things to come VERY soon x
best of luck with the opks this month mammacass :) I'm using wondfo opks this month so hoping to see nice progression when I eventually do O. I am estimating around CD18-19 based on my previous cycles (aka not my dodgy short Sept cycle and very dodgy long Oct cycle. Past cycles averaged around 32 days so heres hoping!) AF has almost left the building so hoping to start e3d or e4d tomorrow, haven't decided which to go with yet :think:
Thanks, hopper! I sure hope it is!! :)

I use clearblue advanced ovulation test too. I follow the guide lines is it typically gives me 1 peak and 2-5 High and then the Peak. It's been helpful to also know that since Aug I only ovaries in Aug and this month.
Thank you everyone and hoping for sticky beans to you as well.
Thankyou hopper [emoji4]

Randomly did an opk this morning and test line is fairly dark considering I'm only CD6...my cycles have been screwy since my Sept cycle so I'm assuming my body could be gearing up to O this early. AF just finished last night and having back pains today. Usually get them for about a week before O which would still be a nice early O for me!! Now to make the decision whether to do every 3 days or every 4 days...I'll continue to use opks anyway though.

Oh wow hopper that IS nice and early [emoji6] I'm not seeing anything at all on mine lol

Lol knowing my luck it will fade instead of getting stronger over coming days! Hopefully get a chance to start our attempts tonight. I am feeling a headcold coming on though, can illness cause your body to delay Oing? I am thinking I read that somewhere! Or maybe I dreamt it haha!!
Fingers crossed it doesn't!!
Hmm I do think I have read somewhere on here that that can happen for some people but not completely sure on that one

Wow hopper, hopefully you will get positive soon. I would love to o as early but seems like my body wants to o late because of le. It's such a long wait. But it seems you might have your positive really soon!
I'm now officially in the 2ww, 1dpo! :)
Wooo hooo, 2xblue!! :)
I'm 9dpo today and have an appointment with my RE in a few hours. I'm not sure if he's going to do a blood hcg test or not. I'm honestly not sure if I want him too because I read it can be negative if it's too early. I think I just implanted yesterday, so I don't think anything is going to show up on a blood test. What do you guys think? Should I have him do it or just wait for a positive hpt?
Praying for a healthy sticky bean!
FX for an early O Hopper! I got nice dark OPK yesterday afternoon (not positive though) but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
2xblue, yay for the TWW! Hopefully your BFP is just around the corner :)
Momamia, if it were me I'd do the blood test lol but I'm impatient. ;) Implantation may have been earlier than you thought.
CD15 for me today. My OPK was much darker yesterday and I'm having other signs ovulation is approaching but I'm not holding my breath. lol I don't ovulate early so it'll probably still be awhile.
Hi Hopper,
I started checking with OPK strips after my cycle this month too. The second line was visible and darker then I would have thought for CD6, but no where near positive and now they are really light as of last night. I am hopping for a temp dip tonight because I had 2 higher temps the last 2 mornings and I am only CD9, so its freaking me out that I might have O'd early which would suck because we only had 2 attempts and not good ones. Usually I O around CD14 so hopefully it is just my body getting ready to O in the next few days.
ksmom, FX you'll ovulate soon!! :)
Tfahn, I had 3 "post-o" temps early this cycle too! I was freaking out that I was oing really early, but then I figured out that they were because I was sick. I just disregarded them in ff. Hopefully it'll be clearer for you in the next few days. :)

Hi ladies! Just thought I'd pop in as we are actually in November and post a picture of the test I just took at 11dpo

GL to you all, Momamia can't wait to see your test tomorrow am!
Congratulations, foxcubblue!!!! :) I'm so happy for you!!! :) Thank you! I have a lot of butterflies over it. I don't think I've ever been this nervous to test!
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Tfahn, I had the same thing happen this cycle. I got a rather dark OPK on CD6 and then my temp went up for a couple of days before going back down again. I panicked a bit thinking I o'ed super early but nope, just my body being weird. lol
Thanks, mandy!! :)

Congrats FoxClubBlue, Hope you get your boy baby!
Congrats foxcubblue....you can have my blue dust too
So I have been cramping since Thursday (cd11) and I o'd cd 13 but I'm still cramping. It's not painful but it is uncomfortable and worrying me that I'm out already.
Signingmommy, it's completely normal to cramp for a few days after ovulation. I think I read it's from the fluid released with the egg, it can irritate the abdominal area. It can also be from the uterus contracting to propel the egg downward from the fallopian tube into the uterus. I get crampy too after ovulation.
Hey everyone! Sorry I took a step back for a few weeks. I had to reassess my sway and relax. This is the first and only month I plan on going couch potato... It's killing me but I figured it was worth a shot. I'm also not doing supplements or rephresh this month either. I guess my only sway in this 9th month is diet and timing? Odds don't feel in my favor to be honest. I'm just really trying to chill out and stop the emotionally rollercoaster.

signingmommy, I always cramp for a few days after ovulation. I don't think it's anything to worry about. I honestly think it's a good thing and a sign of a strong ovulation. :)
Hi Lauren! :bighug: I have everything crossed that this is your month!! :D I think that you'll have just as strong of a sway with only doing LE. Don't forget that it's a pattern of behavior over time that sways, which is why we do the diet for a while before we even attempt. Are you going to do E4D or have you already tried it? Sorry, that I don't remember. If not, I'm sure atomic would recommend it since you've been ttc for so long.
I had an excellent visit with my RE. He did not do an HCG test as he felt it was too early. :( He did do a ton of other testing though, based on my medical history and the fact that I just had my 4th miscarriage. He's concerned that there is something else going on and apparently, he didn't know about my MTHFR problem (it's a clotting disorder which caused me to have 3 TIAs a few years ago & as a result take aspirin daily). He said that he wants to rule out other conditions as well, so they drew 11 vials of blood!! I should (hopefully) have some answers by the end of next week. I told him that there is a really high possibility that I'm currently pregnant and very concerned about another miscarriage. He said once the pregnancy is confirmed to be in my uterus, he's going to start me on daily heparin for my clotting disorder. I have also decided that I'm going to use him as my OB instead of returning to the horrible one I saw with my miscarriage. He has no problem with that and would actually prefer it. He said that if I'm not pregnant right now, we can either do clomid again or switch to injectibles. We could also jump to IVF with PGD if we wanted to. He said it's totally up to us what happens next. He said since I've already had 4 children, he doesn't think we need to do IVF but he would support us if that's what we chose. So, :fx: that I get a BFP tomorrow and that my numbers increase normally so I can get an early ultrasound to confirm that it's in my uterus and get started on the heparin asap! :D I am feeling much more confident that my next (or current) pregnancy will be successful now that I've had this discussion with my RE. Yay! :cheer:
Momamia- I'm so glad you are feeling hopeful! That's always a huge help!
We are still every 10 days with one attempt at positive opk. That's the one thing I'm so scared to give up. :/

You should talk to atomic about it. You've been swaying super hardcore and I don't think changing that would have as big of a negative impact as you think. But, I could be wrong. I just know that she adjusted my dtd schedule a lot with each month. I know that it's different for every swayer, but I think it's at least worth messaging her about. :) Obviously it's up to you, but that's my two cents. Good luck with whatever you decide. :highfive: When do you expect/anticipate to O?
Congrats again foxcub!!
Welcome back Lauren, hope this is your month!!
Momamia that's awesome that you had such a positive appointment and that you left feeling confident and supported [emoji4]
