Well I am going CRAZY!!! here, I have been using opks that i use all the time (Confim brand) the night before last i went to bed after doing a opk it was dark but not as dark as control.. That am i took another as i was up most the night and went to the toilet heaps my opk at 7.30 am was + def, Then i took another one at 12pm it was + aswell. So we dtd yesterday at about 5.30pm... Anyway I went to the shop to get some more confirm opks but they were all sold out so i had to get ( First Response brand opks) Did a test when i got home and it was not quite + I was Like What the? Then now this AM!!! its totally NEG! now that never happens to me i get at least 2 days of + opks, what has happened????? I have been crampy in my left side but not the usual full O pains yet and I dont have much cm because i am taking Zyrtec, I am quite worried because i wanted to only dtd once! I am going to drive to the next town and see if i can get some more confirm brand opks, Why does this have to happen to me the month I want to TTC , I am usually straight forward!

I don't have a scale, so I haven't weighed myself at the start of this whole thing/diet.

I guessed around 115, but I seriously wasn't sure at all. I started around early December (with a lot of weak moments and getting the hang of things/portions/measurements still...) and weighed myself at my son's childminder's house, and so on December 23rd I weighed in at 111.5 pounds.

I just weighed myself tonight at her house again and am down to 107 pounds.

Is that an okay amount of weight loss for 2+ weeks?
Or do I need to step it up a notch and stop trying for calorie top ups, i.e. sweets/candies all the time?

How much weight do you have to lose? You have to lose slow enough that you won't run out of weight to lose should TTC take you a while

Rainbow, I thought being thin was very good for pink? I'm overweight and afraid that I swayed blue, though I was losing weight at the time of O, not a lot, just like 5 lbs, I was really behaving myself for the whole week of O, and some before then (was avoiding highly fat and/or nutritious foods)

That makes me feel a bit better about my sway!

Nope, the Oxford study found that boy-mums2be and girl-mums2be had IDENTICAL average pre-pregnancy BMI and weights

looks like you may have already ovulated hun, at the least your surg seems to have gone through the opks, seems that it was just a little diff to normal, are you worried that you dtd at the wrong time hun ??

[pinkin2011]

No I still dont know if I have Ovulated yet i think maybe we dtd too soon?? I was lucky enough to find a confirm opk in my draw and it is very much + TMI but when i went to the toilet to do the opk there was HEAPS of EWCM. what should i do??? DTD again tonight??? that was not my plan

Maybe the First Response OPKs are bunk!!! My fingers are crossed for you.

Why does this have to happen to me the month I want to TTC , I am usually straight forward!

It always seems to work that way for me too. I had planned to have only 2 attempts this time, and we ended up having 5 because O kept teasing me and making me think it was coming... It did the trick getting me pregnant, but only time will tell whether or not it ruined my sway.

I don't really need to lose weight, really... so I don't know! I'm just losing weight for the sake of losing weight for the diet for the sway! Ha!

I'm only 5 feet tall.
