Girl Sway Buddy? TTC from August onwards!!

[Abifasc]

Looking good! Fingers crossed you got that egg! [emoji1695] is this your first month ever temping or just first month for this sway/since you started trying? I always have two days of positives on OPKs and then see my temp shift the SECOND day after the first positive, meaning that O day was the day in between — aka the day after the FIRST day of positive OPK. I did have at least one cycle (and mostly likely two cycles honestly) in which my temp didn’t shift until the THIRD day after the first positive — putting O day at the SECOND day after first positive OPK.

I think both O-1 and O-2 are both great chances! Hopefully you see that shift soon! [emoji1695][emoji1695]

Our one attempt this cycle was O-1 and I’m 99.9% sure I’ll cave and start testing at 9dpo tomorrow morning. Bah! No willpower lol. But I have 50 Pregmate strips so I don’t mind going through a couple extra! [emoji2957]

I would definitely test at 9dpo! I got positives with my boys all at 8/9dpo.

This is my 5th month tracking with opks and monitoring symptoms and cervical fluid closely- this is my first month using a bbt. I have a feeling that I am like you and ovulate on or even before the peak- this is my last month’s chart and I got my first high on day 13 and then peak on day 15 but I feel like I might have ovulated before that based on cervix changes? I wanted to use the bbt to be sure! That attempt in the chart was unprotected but then my hubby left town for work so it was too early.

I prefer you guys wait till 10-12 DPO. Even if you got early tests in the past, there are no guarantees you will every time and I have seen soooo many people get upset over a negative test that later turned positive I think you're just better off waiting for a reliable positive instead of getting worked up with no reason to.

I agree with atomic it’s stressful!!!

I seen an awesome doc and think I will stick with him instead of my previous, he is a specialist and so kind and said he will give me progesterone if it’s low then switch to makena once I’m 17 weeks due to my cervix issue I had w my dd my test today is so dark! Compare to my past it’s almost same color as control line I tend to test darker in afternoon

I’m thinking I ovulated later my temps were weird and my regular line opks I use first response were not positive till cd 14 and still the test line wasn’t darker than control. I usually o cd 15-16 FF kept changing my date from 14-16 now it stuck at cd 14, so I’m either 11-13 dpo. I think I o cd 15, will update w betas

I always o the second day of my peak but this cycle I was getting peaks solid smile but my reg opks were faint I have no clue when I o. I usually get one day of pos opk when test line darker than control line then following day it’s the same and then I o , I have a long surge also. But that’s good, you have plenty of time to BD

Looking good princess mom!! Glad you found a doc you like! [emoji4]

Abi I will admit I’m totally confused. I’m not sure what I’m looking at in that chart/graph. Is that your LH levels? What do you use to get that? I thought “high” vs “peak” was just on that special clear blue fertility monitor type OPK that gives smilies (which I think you’re talking about princess mom right?)

I just used the regular dip strip LH tests, mine were Pregmate brand. I always got a nice fade in, and I could usually tell the day before it would turn officially positive — I would always get a nice “almost positive.” But those I marked as negative OPKs. I didn’t count it as positive until it was as dark as or darker than the control line. My first day of positive would usually be darker than, the second day of positive as dark as (usually the day I would end up ovulating) then they would go back to not as dark as control line and fade out.

Sorry for the confusion! This is the premom app- the blue line is my bbt and the orange line is the graph the app makes of my LH levels from opk. Yesterday our attempt was at cd13 when I had both high opk and ewcm and today I’ve had high and peak levels. I don’t really know what it means [emoji2370] I’m hoping temp will prove ovulation tomorrow or the next day! Here’s my OPKs.

Oh wow that’s interesting! I have never seen or heard of that app before. How does it determine “high” or “peak” though? Aren’t those just regular LH strips? I only test once a day after lunch. I would have marked both CD13 and 14 on yours as positive if those were mine. As far as I know it doesn’t matter “darker than” vs “dark as” — I’d say CD13 was positive for you anyway! Usually for me my first day of positive is darker than and then second day is as dark as, but I don’t think it matters, each is considered positive.

Fingers crossed for a temp spike for you tomorrow!! [emoji1695][emoji1695][emoji1695]

My temp went up very slightly this morning but wasn’t a huge jump! I don’t know about opks- I’ve researched and researched trying to figure it out and I can’t seem to get a consistent answer on when ovulation happens. I’m thinking it’s probably today, cd 15, but I don’t know! How are you doing?

Betas in doc hasn’t called but got email from the lab hcg 8 and progesterone 1.1 and doc look at my chart basically I did o cd 16. My hormones must of been unbalance still from the d&c, I should have waited this if my fault .
Will prob do another draw tomorrow just weird why my test is still dark
