That's not how it works. The opks only measure the amount of LH in your body as it begins to rise. You can ovulate MUCH later after getting a positive opk. When the opks go negative, doesn't mean that you have or will ovulate. All that it means is your surge has peaked. For example, I got an opk on CD45 last cycle and FINALLY ovulated on CD57! Your body can gear up to ovulate but only will when the conditions are right.

Be sure to keep having attempts at least E3D to be within an attempt. Also, don't despair that the egg is bad! On contrary, rest assured the egg is healthy when it is finally released!

Robin, i think you O in cd 16.

there is something called a "slow rise" where it takes 3-4 days to see a rise in temps. Not everyone gets a dramatic spike every month.

Search Fertility Friend Pregnancy charts with "slow rise" & opk....you will see

I'm out AF showed up this morning after dtd. She's two days early!! Moving forward to the next cycle. I still have my FX for XX!!

I'm cramping...it's not looking good for me. I have to double my vitamin d levels, because I am so deficient. I was told that is why my cycles have been so wacky. Ironically, this cycle is my most normal cycle yet due to starting vitamin d the week before I ovulated! Who knew this vitamin was so important to fertility!

Nothing for me yet, started spotting for 5 min. the day before my period and the day my period was due which was 12-2 and so far today nothing going to see if my temp drops any lower in the morning.

Bad news for me. Both my sons had the worst case of gastro Saturday, just puking their little guts out. I caught it and I've been sick all night. As I was wretching I felt something "pop" and my underwear soaked with pinkish fluid. It really seems like amniotic fluid not cm, although I would've thought 4 weeks would be too early for that. I think I'm out or will be soon. :-(
This is probably a dumb question but do I need to go to a doctor? When it's so early that it's a chemical can you just assume everything will come out on its own or is there any danger of retained tissue?

Erin I don't think amniotic fluid would gush like that so early. It is possible a blood vessel in your cervix might have ruptured with the force of the vomiting and caused the pinkish fluid. I'd stay positive but definitely get medical advice. When I have chemical pregnancies my normal period always came on just a little bit later or round about the time it was due. Hope your family are feeling better :-(

Erin, I would't think it is amniotic fluid this early as it is only just starting to build up and the actual sac is so tiny at this stage. It is possible with the vomiting you could have had some bladder leakage and if there was a small amount of spotting it could come out pink.

If you have a chemical you will get a period which may be a bit heavier than normal but at this stage there isn't enough developed for retained products to be a problem. If you have had no bleeding then you are most likely still pregnant.

Erin, I'm so sorry you and your family are so sick! I hope you all have a speedy recovery!

Illness when pregnant is never fun. I agree with the others that as long as you aren't having any bleeding, you are most likely still pregnant. I would try to rest as much as you can. At this early stage, and even beyond, the baby is very well protected and can withstand a lot. Maybe make an appointment with your doctor or at least let them know what you experienced at your next check-up. You're probably too early for a scan at this point, but by letting them know you had been very ill and your concerns, they might schedule a scan in the future at the appropriate week.

(((Huge Hugs)))

Thanks for your replies, ladies. I could tell it wasn't leakage from my bladder. I just had a tiny bit of cm with more blood this morning but nothing like my period yet (which was due 2-3 days ago). I just don't know whether to be hopeful it was from my cervix like babygirlquest suggested or if I should be expecting my period to show. I guess I could try to find someone to check my HCG levels to have some idea what's going on while I'm too early for a scan. My family doctor takes months to see so I'd have to try a walk in...

Hope everything stays good for you Erin. If you can't find someone to test your blood, could you buy more FRER's and take them 2 days apart to see if the line gets darker?

AFM, I'm CD15 and getting lots of EWCM. No positive OPK yet, it's close so I think it will be postice either today or tomorrow. It sucks since DH is out of town until Tuesday evening. We Dtd on Wednesday and very late Friday night so not the best timing odds. Guess I should just be thankful that it looks like I will ovulate, after a year of fertility treatments and a month on BCP, I was worried if my body would ovulate or not.

Fingers crossed that your not out yet XXforhubby. Hope your vitamin d levels jump back to normal soon. I take an extra vitamin d pill every day when I was trying for DD#1 and also this time around too, I read articles years ago that being low on Vitamin D will pregnant could be one of the causes of autism, I'm sure that's is not true but I figured what can it hurt to take more :)

Good to know Tfahn that you took D with your DD. Do you mind me asking what your diet and lifestyle was like back then, if you can remember? Any favorite foods you had, exercise or no exercise, BD patterns?

Thanks [emoji8]!!

XX I believe I had just come off a very low carb diet and was exercising about 4 days of weeks of cardio. I believe I stopped the exercise when we started TTC. I know I was taking all the same supplements I am now, except less COQ10, including a baby aspirin everyday. We were DTD every other day once AF was over and then when it got closer to O we were add a few attempts plus 1 after and all attempts within a week of O we used Preseed. With all the supplements and preseed, looking back I'm surprised we had a girl, we had no preference and just wanted to get pregnant quickly.

.

XX my vitamin D levels are always pretty low as well another reason i probably naturally sway pink pretty heavily. I think the goal should be get them in range to conceive but dont get such a high amount you sway blue

Im waiting and rooting for you XX :)...i knew there was a reason i liked your hubby..he seems like a good guy...i too would find out if that means he plans on cancelling his vasectomy for now and putting it off a bit longer or if he intends to keep trying to have 4th and then snip after you have the baby. fingers crossed that the temp dip and pink cm dont mean anything...you had that last month too when you were still a week or two away from ovulating..

Thanks Burakoam! Yeah I'm going to take the Vitamin D in the recommended amount for 4 weeks, then cut back to 3 times a week, and then once a week. I get rechecked on 2/1. I also have a fertility appointment then too.

I have never been able to conceive with levels so low (less than 30). The minimum level my RE says that can support a pregnancy and have good AMH levels is 45. I have a long way to go! I think I am doing the diet too well this time! He also doesn't want me to exercise right now until it gets better.

This period is KILLING me! I'm bleeding so much, I'm weak! If I didn't have normal CBC and high hemoglobin, I'd swear I'm anemic! I think it's the low D levels.

It's making me so nauseous I've only had two pieces of banana bread, two squares of milk chocolate (priorities!!) today. That's it! Oh and a cup of coffee with creamer. I guess I'm now officially on the pink side! I don't even feel hungry at all. Not even a little bit! Crazy (but secretly happy!)!

Don't worry ladies, I'll eat a small dinner!

Sorry for the rough AF XXforhubby, hopefully it doesn't last long.

AFM, I have no clue if I ovulated or not yet. I ran out of OPK strips so I couldn't take a reading at my normal time on Friday, I did take one that evening and it wasn't positive. Saturday I had EWCM and my OPK looked all but positive but I never actually saw a positive after that and they have been lighter ever since. I had no big temp jumps either although this morning was 98.04 which usually i don't ever get above a 98 unless I ovulated so I guess its a wait and see what my temps do over the next 2-3 days to be absolutely sure I ovulated. I wanted to do the pineapple core think this cycle but I guess I will wait until next month in hopes I have a more clear indiciation that I ovulated. (If I don't get a BFP this month, got to stay positive!)

Awe Tfahn, that's a bummer! FX that you ovulated!

Tell me about the pineapple thing? How do you do it? I've seen a few people mention it.

XX, from what I read you take a whole pineapple, cut off the outer rind, and then slice the rest into 5 equal pieces. You eat 1 piece per day, including the inner core, starting at 1 dpo. It's supposed to aid in implanation. But it can cause uterine contractions so that is why you have to be sure when you ovulated so you only take it days 1-5 after ovulation. I have not tried it but thought it would be worth a shot for a cycle or two.

So you just eat one section? Or one cup worth? I'm thinking a whole pineapple would last at least 7-10 days when eaten 1 cup a day.

I too read eat the pineapple from 1dpo-5dpo. I tried that last month but think I actually started on o day as think I got the timing wrong and ate it for about 8 days. Didn't work for me last month but thought I would try it again this month as I love pineapple anyway - ate 1slice (1pineapple cut into 5slices) from 1or 2dpo (don't temp so not sure exactly when o day was) for 5 days. Not sure if this helped at all but this morning (11 or 12 dpo) decided to test early as had been having really bad breast and underarm pain which I don't normally get and it was a Bfp! So excited but nervous, can't believe my early Xmas present. Still pinching myself. Please stay sticky little bean :pray:

Congratulations @Kelbear GL on your pregnancy!!

Huge congrats Kelbear!

Thank you xx and meanveggiegal. After 5 months of bfns I was starting to think maybe it just wasn't going to happen. I am so happy but scared at the same time that my little bean won't stick. I hope you both get your bfps next month and I hope you are feeling better soon xx.

Yeah Kelbear- that is so exciting. Congratulations and hoping for a healthy and happy 9 months. You will be due in Aug- yeah, same due date group!!

Congrats, Kelbear! Great news!

Congrats Kelbear!!!! Also good to read you did the pineapple thing.

AFM, my temp jumped this morning and FF gave me crosshairs. Might go and get a pineapple and eat it for 3 days only. Although if Ff is right with O day I don't think I had great attempts this cycle with DH being gone 4 days.

Attachment 34005

Yay! Congratulations Kelbear!
FF finally predicted ovulation for me and I am hoping it's right!!
I think my chart looks good but I just don't feel like I did last month .. still trying to stay positive.
I've had blood work abd ultrasounds recently and was told that I have a larger follicle surrounded by smaller follicles . In other words I have eggs. Which is great! I have my Dr Apt next week to discuss the findings.. I am hoping to get into a fertility clinic soon though bc my Dr is almost no help.
I'd love to get my hands on clomid but he doesn't percribe it.

Ugh. I just realized that I've been TTCing for almost a year! It will be a year in February [emoji20]. I'm starting to think maybe it's not going to happen for me.

That does suck XX, April will officially be 2 years TTC for me. It sucks big time and I also sometimes feel like maybe it's not going to happen.

The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I've done the diet so well that I now have vitamin deficiencies! I don't want to undo all my hard work! I feel like now, more than ever, I could ACTUALLY conceive a DD for my DH.

I just keep plugging along hoping that Goldie The Golden Egg gets released soon! Hopefully getting my Vitamin D levels up will help too.

Congrats Kelbear!

XX a year is a long time to wait, I hope it happens for you before Feb!

CD5 here. It's been a weird one though. Super heavy but shorter than normal.

Upside to swaying: my cheat of having a bowl of cereal and a cup of tea (my pre-sway breakfast routine, although way later in the morning) feels like an over the top indulgence now.

I know it's been a long time, but we started TTCing when my DS3 was 3mo old. He is now 12mo, and I'm still breastfeeding. I think now that he's older, maybe it will happen? I think I'll keep trying for bit longer before giving up.

Thanks ladies!

AFM...CD6 for me but nothing else to really report except that I haven't been doing my cardio and I don't think I can start back until after Christmas so I might skip this month but I don't know yet...it's just a thought for right now.

XX I tried the pineapple core last month for 1DPO-7DPO but I read to do that from a IVF website(if that makes any difference).
