♥ June 2011 ~ Swaying for Blue? This is the thread for you!! ♥

Tink with timing the OPK tells you 24-36 hours before the egg is released, but the LH has also already been in your body for a handful of hours ... checking your CM/CP can help you figure out if you O'd yesterday or O'd this am, just b/c the smiley is gone now doesn't mean you didn't O earlier today instead of yesterday. It's a guessing game for sure :-) Are you temping? I know that helps pinpoint it as well. I don't temp though! What most of us do is just DTD 12 hours after the +OPK. So for you, that would mean BD last night.

As for me I'm FRICKING sick!!!!! I can't believe it. I am 99% sure I got the virus DD2 had this weekend b/c my symptoms are the same. So I will likely be better Friday, thank goodness, b/c that is my big b-day celebration with my friends. But what about TTC?!?! Should I drop it now? I should O on the 13th/14th. But I know being sick sways girl... I don't feel like eating but have been keeping the diet up anyway.

CUSSWORDS!!!! I haven't been sick in almost 3 years :-(

Sucks that you are sick Especially since you have celebrations to look forward to. I agree with Baby, if you have doubts then I would skip this month too. You don't want to be wondering 'what if?' if you get a bfp. Up to you though, only you can decide. Hope you are feeling better soon!

Babydes, you never know....don't lose hope yet. Some people don't get implantation cramps at all, some are early, some are late. Keep your chin up!

Tink, if all opk systems gave you a positive result just one day, yesterday, I would try to dtd either last night or this morning. ITA with Begonia's summation there! Do you get O pains? And did you poas twice or just once a day? I usually get a + around 1 or 2pm, and then that night, then again in the morning, but usually the surge has subsided by the next night's test. So, I pretty much know my surge actually started that morning around 8 or 9am, and it hits my urine by 1 or 2pm. So, I figure I ovulate around 24 hours after that, and sure enough, I usually get O pains around 3 or 4 pm the next day, just around the right time. So you wanna bd, like B said, anywhere from 12-18 hours after your 1st +, but if you only test once a day, I would bd that night or the next morning after your + as you are maybe not sure when your surge actually started (which you can be more sure of when you opk twice a day). More poas for you next month!!! And we did have a pic thread on a private forum....a few of us deleted them after a while to avoid trolls. It's called "Let's Talk Secrets." If you post some, I'll repost mine for a few days!

Begonia, SOOOO SORRYYYYYYY you are sick, that SUCKS! Maybe just wait to see how you feel then? If you feel like you are good to go and have some bd, maybe go for it. You know, just watch the meds for drying-up action and the like. I mean, if you can skip it and wait till July, I would probably do that, but I know how it is when you are all geared up and ready to ttc!

Great explanation on OPKs and surging. I have been wondering about timing of the surge and how often to test but this really helped me get it all. Thanks!

See my chart guys, 7dpo could it be an imp. dip? This morning have slimey cm that is yellow, snot like?? Plug forming maybe?!?!! Clutching at straws here lol

I think implantation dips are usually below the cover line.

Congratulations babydes!! Fantastic news!

The month is starting out great so far. Bring on all those BFPs

I think implantation dips are usually below the cover line.

Oh really? gahhh I read if it dipped below the cover line it meant something else.. should not google so much lol

[Plum3]

Google is not your friend! I'm sure it can mean lots of things but of all the implantation dips I have seen they are always below or near enough to the coverline. Only one temp and then it shoots back up.

Well, there you go. It could very well be implantation then, yay!

I'm in shock, NEVER expected this! Yesterday i had AF cramps & have had slight twinges here & there but nothing to make me think i was preg. The only tell tell was i've been emotional, remember me saying that i'd cried a few times in the last week. DH's over the moon, bless him he says i have to take it easy now. He's away with work so i had to ring him with the news. The other sign could have been my eating, i've had a bit of an appetite lately but i just thought it's the boy diet that's made me eat all the time.

Massive, Massive Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soo excited for you I hope the next 8 months flies by safe and sound for you and your gorgeous little bean xxxxxxxx
