So much for that thought. If it keeps up you might need to see your OB and get a hormone workup because something isn't right... (((HUGS)))Quote:

jelliebellie83 lol i know what you mean about smacking the smiley face i only had it for 4 days and that was bad enough,have to say they have worked for me first try too x
It was negative on the different test. Thank goodness. I usually use a brand from Walmart but this month I bought ones at target and apparently they are faulty. Ugh. Who knows when actually ovulated.Quote:

No, we bd every 10 days as per Atomic. We had our attempt on the second positive day.... So I'm pretty sure this month is a wash. I'm not too upset tho because I really want to be tight w my diet this month. I slacked last month and even gained 2 pounds.Quote:

What brand of opks are you using? I was like that with the Wondfo brand (was having 5+ days of positives). I think they were just way too sensitive. So were the CB digital opks. I switched to the Babi brand of opks and they've been great. Now I only get 2 days of positives. With me, it seems like my true positive is not until my test line is DARKER than the control, not equal. With the Babi brand I usually get 1 day of equal lines, then 1 day with the test line darker than the control, then it goes negative and I O the day of the negative.Quote:

My first month back to ttc was horrible. Last month wasn't as bad but I forgot how horrible symptom spotting is!! I don't mind waiting to O because I can make sure I'm doing all the sway components and I feel productive. The 2ww is just waiting...forever!Quote:

So sorry Pbn3, but I'm glad you finally have your answer. I hope this next cycle is your BFP!
Sorry to hear this. I always spend cd 1 (and sometimes 2) doing all the things I deprive myself of the rest of the month. I'm cd 2 today so I'm trying to get my confidence back. I can no longer test early. Believe it or not but I'd rather see af than a negative test. It's too heartbreaking for me and then I still convince myself I'm pregnant!Quote:

Congrats taytum xx
Sorry to hear pbn but at least you know for sure. Fingers crossed for next cycle xx
I still got a positive opk early this AM not as dark as yesterday but positive. Im still counting the first one though. Just wanted ask can you O as the surge is on the way down or only when opk is negative. Those awful O pains have gone but now im left feeling crampy 😣

I've O'd with OPKs still positive, and after rhey went -. Can happen either way.Quote:

Glad you have an answer Pbn but sorry it was negative [emoji17] be kind to yourself, big hugs xx

Hmm I usually use the advanced method but leading up to O I was checking out research just for curiousity... Bit unsure now as I just went and checked FAM and it takes away my crosshairs lol my temps are a bit lower, think I will BD again tonight just to be sure lol
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've been charting this month but I haven't had a spike at all and I never once tested at the same time. This next cycle I plan on setting a timer to temp.
What exact OPKs should I buy this time? I want the most accurate that I won't get a million positives. These Wondfo type I've been using are apparently super sensitive.
Pbn- I'm glad you finally have an answer but I'm really really hoping next month is your month :(

Faulty test or really early BFP who knows.
Still no AF, symptoms still here, if not worse!
Will keep you all updated.
FX for all of you!
It depends on the cycle.. When FF gives some asinine crosshairs based on something like OPK, completely ignoring everything else I'll either switch methods or override. For example, this cycle it started off set on FAM but then wanted to give me crosshairs before my temps shift due to OPK so I switched it to advanced.Quote:

Now I have been doing a light sway since the beginning of April I believe so 4 1/2 months. That is what I figured would happen (certainly not what I hoped for but what I figured) so I really didn't want to wait to TTC. I'd be ok with another boy (don't get me wrong, I am foaming at the mouth for a little girl lol, but I'm 100% ok with a boy too) so for me waiting to TTC to better my sway just wasn't worth it for me. It's really an individual decision. If you want to look back and KNOW you did everything you could, then wait. If you'd love a girl but would be completely satisfied adding more blue to your brood, then start both and see how it plays out :)
Ok girls! We got it done!lol I'm currently lying elevated and plan to for 30 mins. I hope if I did O today my little eggy is still waiting. I tested this evening and second line was about the same. Who knows! I guess tomorrow will tell me more! I feel better getting an attempt in tonight either way.
Your chart looks pretty normal for irregular waking times! They are a bit bouncy, but that is to be expected with an inconsistent schedule and "bouncy" won't prevent you from seeing an O shift 9x out of 10... there are some extreme cases I've seen, but for the most part you'll still see an O shift. So if we ignore the OPKs, because the are obviously unreliable, there isn't 1 thing on your chart that makes me believe you O'd. I think you are still waiting. Which sucks because you are pretty deep into your cycle but given you haven't been BD'ing it's actually a REALLY good thing you haven't O'd yet because it means you didn't miss your window!! :fx: you O soon!! And if it were me, I'd burn those other OPKs! Okay, okay... maybe just toss them ;) :giggle: No matter how much they costed they aren't worth your sanityQuote:

Yesterday I had to take my temp at 4am too - thanks to my 19 month old..... and it was way lower than normal at 36.0.
My question - do I enter the 4am temp for today or the 7am?
I will try and attach my chart to show you....

Hi ladies- nice to meet you all. I'm a bit late to the party here but wanted to introduce myself. I have 2 little boys (18 mos and a month shy of 3) and my DH and I are trying for a girl this time around. I had my Mirena removed on the 1st and wasn't expecting to be TTC until October, but based on the very close to positive opk I took this afternoon and the fact that we dtd last night on a whim because I didn't think I could be ovulating yet--it looks like this month is actually going to be our first attempt, haha. It wouldn't be the end of the world if this is our month, we just wanted to wait a little longer if possible so I would be due in the summer and so I'd have a strong 12 weeks on LE. Both my boys were conceived on the first try and with multiple attempts, so I'm going to put DH on hands off for the rest of the week now.

Welcome to all those joining and fx for you all!
I'm going to take a couple days time out and regroup. So peeved off with what I believe were faulty frers. I'm even wondering if I actually oed cd14 which would make me only 10dpo today. Just have to wait for af now in any case and this obsessing of mine has taken its toll lol :)
I'll be back soon in time to see some lovely lines on hpts!! And thank you everyone for putting up with my up down up down week :) http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...388201c6cf.jpg
Sorry I can't help you more on your chart. .. I don't have much experience "reading" slow rise charts.Quote:

Would it be stupid to temp just until O day and then not the rest of the cycle? I can see myself obsessing and getting depressed over falling temps.

I would wait until O is confirmed (3 elevated temps). But after that sure!Quote:
