January 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

So, I tried charting temps. But I have a toddler whose in and out of my bed first thing in the morning and I often find myself forgetting. So this hasn't helped me at all (my fault)

So, I took two OPKs yesterday, in the afternoon, one was almost positive but not quite, the second was lighter. I tested today and it's even lighter. Would you keep testing ( I'm going to test this evening) or go ahead and make an attempt as I'm "predicted" to ovulate today tomorrow.

This may not be a very answerable question. Just wanted some input from you lovely ladies.

Is your doc doing a follicle ultrasound or 21 day progesterone test this cycle to confirm if you've ovulated?

If it was almost positive and now getting lighter I would probably get an attempt in asap. When I used the manual opk's I never got a line that was darker than the control line, even though I was ovulating. It would be almost as dark, but then start getting lighter. As such I gave up with those and switched to digital.

Thanks, ABC! I was thinking the same thing . Thanks for your input!

I got a line darker than the control last time. It could be that you ovulate later. Like ABC says though, if its getting lighter then maybe an attempt wouldn’t hurt. If it gets darker later, no harm, you’ll have another attempt.
Do you do the 3 hour pee hold before you test Eighme? I think Pbn3 mentioned testing between 1-3pm is optimal time in the morns.

I think I'll go ahead and attempt. If it gets darker, I'll just attempt again like you said. I do! I started once I saw Pbn mention that.

What CD are you Filzma?

No he hasn't done a progesterone test on me... he set up a ultrasound for the 27th of this month and did one last month too. He doesn't really monitor me.

I’m cd16 Eighme and so far opks just getting darker but not at peak yet. I’m guessing I have a couple more days. I prefer this wait to the 2ww tbh.

Me too! I'm so more relaxed during this wait period than the 2ww. That one drives me crazy!

Oh, I need to talk! I learned that one of my best friends is having triplets (one identical pair) after several years of trying. I'm so happy for her, but I was a bit sad, since I've lost my identical twins and can't get pregnant for some reason, and today i was convinced that this cycle was also unsuccessful, although I was cramping for several days, but thought probably it's similar to pre af, and a little bit of discharge I got looked also similar to last cycle. Anyway, I just now tested with cheapie, and I think I see something, it's just my eyes are also inflammated and I wonder if it's true, or it just seems to me, it's barely there. And now I have a cup of coffee in front of me and not sure if I should drink it (I only drank it to sway), and I have to use antibiotics drops in my eyes for a couple of days, and also my cramping is pretty strong, is it normal? Sorry for rant.

I took a photo, but I can't see anything there. Ah, have to wait I guess.
