TTC March/April/May 2015?

Smartson3~ I think a January baby would be great!!
Seabeewife~ I bet your right more then FF, fx for you and a healthy dose of pink dust from me!! :)

so, went for my follow up BW this morning. my estrogen shot up to 221!! the RE isn't sure what is going on. going back in on wednesday for redraw and rescan. My scan was fine on friday so that's why they can't figure out what is going on. I am most certainly going to every 4 day this cycle..especially since even the RE has no idea what is going on with me

FX for everyone!!!

seebeewife-hope you caught the egg

Hi ladies, mind if I join I'm ttc in April my first month, I have 2 boys nearly 4 and nearly 1. Hmm Easter didn't think this through lol! I'm in Australia and will be on clomid, unmonitored which scares me a bit, when I was on clomid for Ds2 I was monitored and new O due to the ovidril shot this time I just want to do it myself and see how I go!

Smarston I hope you can figure out what's going on!!
Magical~ welcome!! Yeah, Easter is a hard time to diet, lol!! I don't know much about clomid so maybe some of the other ladies that take it can give advice :)

Ttc may now! Question for you ladies that are doing one attempt at pos opk. Are you bd the day you get a TRUE pos opk or at the first signs of a surge?

I was under the impression first sigh of positive opk is the first sign of a surge. So to me it's the same.

Can someone chime in?

A positive opk is when the control line is as dark or as dark as the test line. That's when everyone has there attempt. Some of mine have never turned fully positive so it's when you see the darkest one that you attempt if you notice it doesn't get fully positive

I did this last time I got pregnant before my miscarriage and it worked for me ☺

There can be some outliers- but in general most people ovulate within 24-48 hours after the FIRST positive opk. Some can ovulate 8-12 hours, but that is not "typical".

Now first positive opk means the test line is as dark as or darker than the control line when using ICs or true Wondfo opks. Again there can be outliers- some see a fade in pattern from very light to dark, but never get as dark as or darker than the control line. If using CB digital (not advanced digital or the monitor), BD at the FIRST smiley face. Some people confirm with a CB digital when they think they get a positive on an IC and then BD- this saves money on the CB digital so you don't use them everyday (I did this).

If you are not sure, flip a coin. Yes, this works to alleviate stress of guessing, which sways blue and you can move on.

Hope this helps!

FX and GL!!

I'm becoming more and more convinced that getting pregnant from one attempt is VERY difficult.

Am I just too much of an pessimist??
