TTC girl - September 2012

[BeadinMom]

No, not yet. I'm guessing if this doesn't work, that will be the next step. I've dropped everything to sway and at this point I just want a baby. I have a doctor's appt Oct. 25th. Hoping I'll be pregnant by then.

Am feeling a bit down and need of some sympathy ladies! OPK+ at lunchtime today and DH not back from abroad till tomorrow night Think I will O tonight as am feeling a bit crampy. Am ancient (37) so don't think my egg will be up to much when we finally BD. Next month is off too due to another business trip.

Am concerned that I won't be able to stick to diet for another two months and still ovulate as have gone down from BMI 22 to 20 in 6 weeks - is 18 when O stops?

Good luck to everyone else trying Sept / Oct

So sorry, Emily...
I hope it all works out and you don't have to worry about next month!!

Ooooh, this thread is getting really exciting! Sounds like a lot of +OPKs are happening, which means lots of baby making going on! Good luck, ladies! I am so that you get your BFP's in a couple of weeks!! I'll be here, cheering you on!!

Go TEAM PINK!

Well, I was hopeful, but after getting a positive opk at 10:45a this morning, I got a negative around 2:45p & 7p. I don't know what to think. We did BD though, so hopefully we caught something. At least I know I have an appt next month, so even if it doesn't work, the ball will still be rolling.

Thanks for the support, Sweetpea!! XO

I had some OPK questions for Atomic this past cycle, as my OPKs were being strange and I couldn't quite tell what to count as positive. She assured me that as long as you get a positive, even if it was just one time and the next test hours later is negative, then you definitely count that as a positive. That one positive has already indicated to you that it has a detected an LH surge, and that O should happen within the next 12-36 hours. I'm so glad you decided to DTD because I really think this is it! Even if you keep getting negatives, you'll probably want to continue BD'ing for the next day or two (unless you're only doing one attempt this month), to ensure that you catch that egg.

Good luck to you, Beadin! I'm so hoping this is your month!!!

Hi BeadinMom,

I had a similarly weird OPK result - but am pretty sure I did O due to crampy feeling and change in CM. Perhaps sometimes the hormone spike doesn't last as long? Am going to pounce on DH as soon as he steps through the door so hopefully that will be in time (am pretty sure that it won't be but have to be positive).

Hopefully we will both be lucky

Look at my chart please. Did I O yesterday or is it today? My temp is down, but I literally froze last night. Did not have enough covers on me of the AC was too cold. So not feeling the pressure or pains like yesterday, so hoping yesterday was my O? What do you think?

[Emily]

I'm no expert but it looks like yesterday to me
