TTC boy Feb 2012 chit chat thread

It is just so hard to get out of the hpt mentality where a line is positive ya know! I have honestly never seen an opk of mine get darker than that??? Surely I haven't missed it every time? How long do they stay positive for everyone else?

Mine gets darker, but just for a VERY short window. I would say you're going to get a + very soon and to try taking 4 op.'s a day if you can so you don't miss it!

I am SO confused as to what is going on with me this month! I'm on cd13, and usually I'm starting to get fertile looking cm by this point, but it's still very sticky, almost dry! I've had temps drop, and the line on my opk is getting darker like it normally would, just the cm is throwing me off! here's my FF chart:

My CM is really weird this cycle too. I can't even explain the consistency because I have never seen it like this ever! I got a +ve last night at 8.30pm (I am pretty sure). Now I know you don't use FMU normally but I wanted to check this morning and see if still +ve or if it was even darker maybe. But I think it seems a tad lighter? Is it normal for it to go neg so quickly and do you O when it's neg? (hasn't even been 12hrs since the +ve) or is it just because it was FMU? Will test again at 9.30am.

CM can change very quickly, in a matter of hours, i wouldn't be too worried, comparing to your last cycle, you will be in the temp dip for 4 days, i think your cm will change in the next day or 2. Have you got any preeseed to use if you decide to BD while your CM is this consistency? And the other really good sign is an open cervix.

Yes mine did the same thing this cycle, i only got 1 + and the next one was - the next day. If you got your + at 8.30 last night - you will O (12-36hrs later) anytime between 8.30am today - 8.30pm tomorrow. I think it is great that your hubby will be home today for your attempt.

OMG thank you for the info Cinss...I am so excited!! And kinda terrified all at the same time hehehehehe

I just used an expensive OPT and it is still positive....maybe it was just me using my FMU or the internet cheapies?? Guess I will be making an attempt today then!! Yayyyyyy

Thank you ladies!

Lola-DH wasn't too upset as we knew it would be low. I was hoping for at least 20 million since that's about what it was last time he had a SA in 2005. But GAH, 14.7 million???!!! He didn't enjoy chugging the 8 or 9 pills a day (which I still have him take just in case). But, yeah, looks like it worked. He was referred to a urologist that specializes in infertility, but our insurance wouldn't pay for that, so I didn't bother booking an appt. I just dosed him up on supps.

It seems that with each of the chemical pregnancy, we had a 4 day abstinence with O on CD 13. With this one we had a 5 day abstinence and O on CD 15. I did no sway of any kind. I just took prenatals, folic acid, B6, and actually took Vitex this cycle since I feel some of my hormones are out of whack. The doctor just hasn't figured out what. I am hoping for a sticky, healthy baby. But I really hope it turns out to be a boy!

Thank you all for your congrats and I'm accepting prayers for a sticky bean!
