do you get a fade-in? I use one a day until I start seeing a second line, then I start to use two

I think I am cd3 too, but my af was sooooo light I'm not even sure if I should count it! i called the ob today to see if he would do an u/s to check my lining before I start the clomid but he is in surgery/delivery all day so we'll see if he calls back. Why does it have to be so confusing?
AF is being so WEIRD! For many years, it was always 28 days like clockwork for about 4 days and never got very heavy. Last year, it suddenly started jumping around a little and became every 26-29 days (not crazy but different enough that I took notice). It also became much heavier and would last closer to a week. I went to the doctor to make sure everything was okay, and after some tests she said I am just fine. AF started coming around every 26 days consistently but still remained heavy. This time, it was 26 days again, but all of the sudden it is light again like before. I don't know if it means anything, or if it is even anything to worry about. It's just odd. Can RepHresh mess it up? I used it 2 or 3 times in the weeks leading up to AF. I've also been taking baby Aspirin every other day and drinking Crystal Light. Hopefully nothing will mess up our attempt this month!
Katie- The diet and any supplements that you might be taking might be changing things around in your body. To me, it sounds like a good sign that things are different suddenly, that means that you are succeeding in changing thing up. As far as your af being different if past cycle before the diet...a lot of women have a change in cycles after having children. Pre-children it might be one way,. post 1 child another way, post 2 children another way. And it will likely continue to change throughout you life with the different changes in your body as you age. Its natural. You might see a pattern for a while and a few years later that pattern may change. All very normal.
I got my AF this morning!! Cd1 for me...wahoo! I am being so conservative this month so not getting my hopes up for a bfp but we will see.... I don't know how much I believe in this stuff, but I looked up my biorhythms this morning and they are in strong girl for the time of my ovulation (roughly the 19, 20th or 21st). All days are strong girl. And the 21st starts a new moon --again, not sure I believe but it can't hurt. I had looked at my biorhythms for when I conceived my sons and they were all strong boy. Maybe just a coincidence. Due to ov roughly the 19/20th.
And here we go.....
I was trying to change my profile pic and post one of me from photobucket and it keeps not letting me, anyone good with this stuff? First it was too big, now I think I made it smaller on photobucket but still not working. I suck at this stuff! Any one a whiz?
WHEW!!! I've finally reached the end of this thread...!!! So sorry in advance for the posting bomb about to take place! :oops:
Suregena, glad AF is finally here for you. I’ve heard it’s best to take them the same time every day to be consistent and that taking them at about 2pm gives you the best readings. Earlier in the day can give you a false darker line. Not sure about evenings. If you have a lot of OPKs to burn, you could use them just after AF, otherwise you could start testing a week(ish) before you think you’ll O.
Lemon, I am not forgetting about you AT ALL! You don't count until AF shows...There's still a chance you're knocked-up :wink:
Not sure yet...??? I was thinking of BD as soon as I get a +OPK but now DH has totally done a 180 and wants to start BD now!?! Who is this man and what did he do w/my DH? DH wanted to jump on my last night but I said no...I was too hungry and tired, lol. I might put some RepHresh in today but I'm not sure. I could O anywhere from the 10th - 18th...UGH! It's so annoying not knowing. A few things are definite for this attempt...We will use Sylk, will go very easy on the RepHresh (if used at all) and I will stick to the LE diet. Other than that, who knows…???
I still have my :fingers: for you, Lemon! You know, I kind of do feel like something tried to happen as I've never spotted before AF and the spotting just kept going on and on. The cramps also felt different than AF cramps and I just had this feeling. I am still BF and won't feel anything in my BBs for the 1st month or so when I fall preg so that wasn't/won't be a sign for me. I guess I will never know if something was trying to start or not but I'm so very thankful that if it was, I didn't m/c later on and I hope I never have to experience that again. No woman ever should...:sadflwr: I'm hoping AF stays away for you and that your BFP is in the next day or so!
Pinkin, I've heard that between 2-3 in the afternoon is the best time to take an OPK and that you should stay consistent w/the time you take it every day. Sometimes earlier in the day, it can show false +s or at least a darker line which is misleading. Hope this helps. Sounds like you've not O'd yet but it'll come soon! I'm excited for you to catch that :pinksperm:
:wave: Jennibel and Lala! I’m glad you’re joining us! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Xokatie, sending you some :hug2: I’m so sorry people are like that…:gloomy: It’s so hard to be happy and hopeful when the people you love can’t understand your dream. O will be just around the corner and we’ll be here to :cheer: you on! I don’t think RepHresh could mess w/your AF but diet/supps certainly could. Also vitex could as well…not sure if you’re taking that or not.
KraizyD, so sorry about the UTI…so annoying! I seem to get those waaaaay too often. I have to drink %100 cran juice every day, otherwise I seem to get them. I’m hoping you can get some better info regarding clomid and swaying…
Interesting...I've never given it much thought but it makes sense, Princess. BTW, YAY for CD 1! O is next…
Dannikins, I’m getting girl vibes from you! Your scan is sooooo soon!!!
:wave: Amari! I’m soooo hoping that you get that :pinksperm: this month! Have you had any LP issues in the past? Last cycle may just be a fluke hopefully as your cycle is beginning to come back and settle itself (?)… I’m hoping you can get that u/s asap and all goes well…:HH:
Auroara, how’s your Mr. Mom doing? Is your job going well? I think your April plan is marvelous! Sending you lots of :HH: and :luck:
I hope I haven't missed anyone! I apologize if I have...:oops:
