Momamia you're chart is looking lovely!! fx for you!
Yaybaby I'm so sorry :(
Thanks, Pbn3!!! I'm trying so hard not to get excited but it isn't working very well. Tomorrow we're taking the kids to a roller coaster park!!! That will definitely help me keep my mind off of ttc.

Some advice anyone? Think I may have stuffed up my opk testing. I'm using the cb dual and am now in day 4 of flashing smiley (previously months 3 then 2 last cycle). I started testing morning, lunch and night two days ago and after looking on internet you're supposed to use only once a day and now I think maybe I've confused it??? I have previously been testing with fmu as per directions and just once a day but after also reading you can ovulate as early as 12 hours after solid smiley I thought I'd start testing more lol just incase I had a surge the evening before. I'll try ring their helpline when it opens in a few hours just wondering if anyone's done the same and did it really matter testing multiple times during day, did you still get your solid smiley regardless?
Pbn3, I have always tested twice a day with the cb dual when it gets close to the day I think I should ovulate. I always get my solid smiley. Although, this month I got the solid earlier than anticipated but didn't O. So, I started testing with the other holder and got another solid a few days later. When you call, they will tell you to only use fmu but I know that my surge is very short, so I test every twelve hours in order to catch it. Good luck!! :)

I used those ovulation tests this cycle and I tested more then once a day. It says that you can test more then once a day once you get your High Fertility sign. I tested twice a day for two days then got a solid smiley that afternoon .

Thanks ladies!! I was just abit concerned as today (cd11) is the day I oed last cycle and I was fully expecting a solid this morning. Happy to o later though will give a longer cycle!
Oh what I wouldn't give to O on CD 11 (when TTC anyway... otherwise I don't mind my long cycles- more time AF-AF), lol.
I am debating disturbing this morning's temp.... been debating all day. Time wise it was fine and I got enough sleep before taking it BUT it is in my HIGH post-O range and I haven't been feeling great today. I can't decide what to do. Normally I'd prob disturb a temp that is THAT off grid given I am not feeling well without a second thought but I have read that clomid can make your temps higher. My temps were in normal range pre-O last cycle but with my tummy issues I am not even sure how much of it was absorbed so since I crushed the pills this time it makes me wonder if I absorbed it better this cycle and that is why my temp was so high this morning or if my temp was raised due to illness. I think I am going to wait until I have another temp or 2, see where they fall, before I decide. Not that it really matters since O is likely a long way off.
I am going out of town this weekend so I am trying to figure out my game plan there as well. I already know I have no intent to temp, I am not even bringing my therm. The big question is do I take OPKs with me. We'll be staying with a relative of DH's and they don't know we are TTC, plus the strips you have to pee in a cup for and it'd be hard to sneak in the bathroom with a cup lol. As far as the test trash, that is easy enough... that is what pockets are for, lol, but the cup situation does present an issue. Part of me doesn't want to bother with the hassle of it since the odds of me getting a surge are tenuous at best... essentially like 1 in 50 billion AND we BD'd tonight so the next BD wouldn't be until we get home on Sunday so it isn't like we could even do anything even if I got a surge. But I am supposed to start testing CD 11. I don't know. Not stressing it, just pondering. I have to start packing tomorrow so I am just trying to decide if I need to bother packing any. Honestly, I don't think I'll bother with it for all the reasons I've already said and because I have my follicle study Monday morning and that will give me a better idea of what is going on in there than an OPK will (No mature follicles=waiting for O, mature follicles = O potentially on the horizon).
Sorry I am babbling tonight. Just kinda thinking "out loud" and it's 1:15 am and I am still wide awake and bored lol. For once it isn't insomnia, it is the super long nap I took today, while the kids were in school, trying to feel better. If I don't get to sleep soon though there won't be a temp in the morning... again, not that it matters much. :sigh:
ETA: I am REALLY hoping to O by or before the 15th though as that is the cutoff point for avoiding being preggo in May. I'd be due in May but since I am a repeat c-section Mama they schedule the delivery a week or so before my due date so I could easily have them schedule me for April 29th or something. :fingers:
:fx: to all waiting to O or test :D
Hi two I would wait and see what next couple days temps are and go from there in relation to disturbing. As for thermometer and/or opks if it was me I'd pack them just in case. I'd likely find a way to opk test to (like do it during morning shower so you can hide cup in clothes/towel and have a reason for being in there so long). I'm only saying what I would do in your shoes as being on clomid 2nd month I'd like to have some comparison even if opks ended up all negative etc and temps stayed same, to me this would be less stressful then not knowing and having that gap. As you said though you are going in for follicle study so.... I don't know what to suggest other than what I would do lol :) hth but doubt it does ha e a lovely weekend away :)
So after 4 days of flashing smileys I am expecting my solid smiley in morning (cd12). I have oed cd13 a few times and cd14 once in the last 8 months or so?. Its my first cycle monitoring cervix and its feels high and soft. Dh starts night shift tomorrow so if we do bd it'll be in morning while ds2 hopefully has a sleep and ds1 will hopefully happily watch a dvd. That's alot of hope :( So thinking may as well bd late tonight on the off chance I o tomorrow sometime and because being able to bd tomorrow is abit in the air?? Maiden once said 2 days b4 o was better for one attempt anyway?? Wish I'd ask her why now lol as I've always thought day b4 was best. Anyway gotta work with what you've got right?
FX Pbn3!!! :)

Two, I'd skip it. It'll be less stressful and you're going for the follicle study anyway. That's just my two cents. Have fun!!

Afm, I had to temp earlier than usual today because of our trip but my temp only dropped .05°. This cycle is so different from last cycle! It's crazy!

No problem love!!!! My dh gets that problem a lot since the older we get, the more responsibility and detracting things come into play.Quote:

My kid woke up at 6 and went outside in our backyard. I woke up to him shrieking at my dog. We're fenced in but I was still livid. He can open any kind of door and now I'm going to have to call a lock smith the have a special lock installed in the patio door.
Anyway, all this caused me to take my temp not at the idea time. And it was really low. Above the cover line, but not far up.
Two Id bring a small stack of the paper Dixie cups and put them in my bag with my toothbrush. You really never know if you'll o earlier and it would drive me more crazy not knowing, especially if you have been testing all along. Ykwim? I guess it depends on what would make you more at ease.
Momma -
You're chart looks amazing fx to you!

So, because of all that, I always shower before we leave on Friday, skip Saturday and only shower on Sunday if I have to.... basically if I feel gross I'll take a speed shower but if I don't I just wait and take one as soon as I get home. I gete your point about comparison but I just don't know if it is worth the headache. Especially when last cycle my OPKs were nothing but confusion until just before O when they finally went back to being stark white until my LH started to build for O. I might take one, just in case I can find a way to sneak a test on Saturday. I can test when I get home on Sunday. My therm will stay here. I don't intend to make a point of temping over the weekend this cycle anyway unless I get my surge on or just before the weekend. Plus, we inevitably leave something behind every year (last year we left my phone charger :oops: ) and if I accidentally forgot my therm I'd have to buy another and I JUST bought the one I am using a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the input though. :bigsmile:Quote:

Good luck! I think the reason it is considered better is to make sure the spermies are up there waiting for the egg but that is just a guess :shrug:Quote:

The earliest I have ever O'd was CD 13 but that was 8 years ago and only one cycle, so O'ing that early is not out of the realm of possibility but highly unlikely. Usually an early O for me is CD 15-19, but much more often I O CD 20+ with my avg being CD 25.Quote:

The boys are old enough now that they don't try to sneak out and back then they couldn't figure out how to unhook a hook latch with the spring.
Well, I'll keep my :fingers: for you!Quote:

I just hope they tell me what they see and I don't have to wait for the doc to review the results before I can find out what they are (they do that to me sometimes... annoys the fire out of me lol). I think I am going to take some time today... probably now, before I need to start packing, to do some research and find out what means what on a follicle study. That way, if I can at least get her to tell me the follicle sizes and such, I will have some idea even if she won't tell me what it all means until the doc reviews it.
Sounds like a great plan re research!Quote:

I have O'd on the day of the first positive many times in the past. I thought our timing would be perfect this month with an attempt on CD 18 because the last couple months O day has been between 19-21. But of course this month it happens earlier :(
Try not to stress. The cycle I got our angel DD on we weren't TTC so I intentionally waited until I thought it was too late. My CM, CP... everything was shifting to infertile the only thing missing was my shift. We BD'd around midnight and I got my shift the next morning and a week and a half later I got a BFP. You aren't out by any means. Sooner is better to try to have sperm ready and waiting for the egg BUT it only takes 2 hours for sperm to go from vagina to fallopian tube and the egg is viable for 24 hours after ovulation. Don't give up hope as you have no idea if O happened yesterday or very early this morning.Quote:

Thanks two :heart: I know it can still happen on O day, part of me just feels like maybe it hasn't happened yet because we just can't seem to get our timing right, I hate this E4D method. I'm a planner with everything so its frustrating when I have no control! Hah. My temp usually goes up at least 0.4 degrees and this time was only 0.3 so maybe it happened in the night/early morning. Hopefully. I would just feel a lot more confident with an O-1 attempt. Good to know that it worked for you with your dear angel DD. I tested twice yesterday - the first time around 2 PM and I wouldn't even say that one was positive but so so so close. Then I tested around 5:30 in the evening and it was glaringly positive. I should have tested this morning but was running late so I won't test again until I get home around 5 PM.Quote:

My better judgement says that if you did in fact O that it was probably less than 12 hours though... maybe in the very very early hours this morning or the very very late hours last night. So, I believe your timing is absolutely within potential BFP range!! :fx: :luck:Quote:

Pbn - looking forward to see when my cycle buddy Os, looks like I might be a few days before you!
Still lurking. This app doesnt tend to update with new posts. Afm just waiting and waiting. Will likely start opk the following weekend 😅 just a tad excited. Can anyone shed any light on antibiotics and girl sway? Im not on any atm but i am battling a chest infection ive had for about 3 weeks it just won't budge and im thinking of getting something for it

Illness sways pink but from what I understand antibiotics don't sway either way. Sorry, I have a bad memory and with no signature I can't remember- Are you swaying pink or blue?Quote:

I guess I'm looking for some encouragement, as I'm trying to figure out how to feel at the moment! I've got DS1 2010 and DS2 2013. I did a small 8wk pink sway with DS2 (lost 15lbs down to 136 5'3"). This time I did a 20+ wk sway (lost 30lbs down to 128). I also added daily fiber, coffee, and peppermint tea to this sway. My cycles had shortened to 26 or 24 days (from 28) for the last 4 months, and I had been oing earlier (CD13 vs CD16). I did o ~CD13 this month as well, and we had DTD once on CD11 (J&D, zytec 8hrs before). It had been a really stressful month leading up to this (my husband and I were planning and leading a new middle school camp that happened the week before DTD). We were both totally exhausted. In any case, my mind keeps going back and forth on whether or not this stuff was positive or negative in relation to ttc pink. Either way, I hope this is a sticky little bean! Good luck to everyone here!! Maybe I'll see some of you over in the due april/may/june 2016 thread!
Congrats! FWIW my angel DD was by far my easiest conception. Conceived her the first cycle we started not trying but not not really preventing either. We didn't follow any of the TTA rules but made a conscious effort to avoid and still got preg... with our first and only girl. TTC my boys was a struggle... esp my angel DS.Quote:

Ok, so I have two brands of OPK strips-one is a no name brand I am not sure if I trust and the other is the same brand I used last cycle (clinical guard). In an effort to test how trustworthy the no name brand is I have been intentionally testing too soon because I learned accidentally last cycle that testing too soon can result in a false +, so I figured I'd use that to my advantage. I have been testing with both the brand I trust and the brand I don't since my first day taking clomid. I haven't had ANY kind of line on either test this whole time with the exception of one squinter today.
On one hand I worry this means the clomid isn't working because last cycle I had lines practically all cycle which is abnormal for me so it had to have been the clomid to cause it. On the other hand, I know my OPKs finally started to straighten up and act right shortly before O so it makes me wonder if it means I might actually O early this cycle... BUT that wouldn't explain no line while taking clomid. Clomid works by tricking the body into creating more LH, FSH, etc. so there should have been SOME kind of line while I was taking it, right?? Something tells me that I am in for another confusing cycle :sad: At least this cycle I will have the u/s to give me some idea of what is going on (hopefully). Anyway, any similar stories or whatever that anyone can offer would be much appreciated.
Thanks two!! I am glad to hear tha ease of conception may not be sure fire blue!
Sorry, two. I haven't had that experience. I never started testing early because I was using the cb advanced. I hope you can figure it out! :)

yaybaby sounds like great timing to me! fx for you bring on testing time!!
smbarnett that sounds like a great sway!.fx you hear pink!!
Twointow sorry your having a confusing cycle again! I hope you u/s givesntou some answers!
AFM - frustration overload!! I had all sorts of problems with my cb dual yesterday late afternoon. Used 3 test sticks (kept coming up with error) until finally a flashing smiley on 3rd test. This morning same thing, wasted two tests (came up error) and 3rd was flashing smiley.... Think my cb dual is dusted and what wonderful timimg right around when I'm suppose to o. I'm going out in an hour or so to get some test strips (dip and read) to try and work out if I'm realty still not positive because I find it very hard to believe I'd o later than cd13 (tomorrow). Also quite crampy this morning which is confusing me even more and I can only just touch bottom of cervix its so high....
Have you considered DTD just in case??Quote:
