February 2WW

[tm29]

My OPKs with FMU are always darkest. Then in the afternoon around 2pm with concentrated urine they are pretty dark, any other time and they are normally much lighter. I think your urine being too diluted could definitely play a role in the negative after a positive.

Junie thank you - that's great to know. I guess I should assume the + was the real thing and that the negatives (which are only a bit fainter than the control line) are neg because of dilution.

Mars - I interrupted your party. Congratulations on your bfp.

tm29 you have not interrupted anything, I was where you are just 2 weeks ago asking the same question I used Opks this month for the first time and I was testing at 2pm as I was told that was when the LH surge was the highest. My opks were only showing slight lines so for a few days I also tested at 10am and the lines were much stronger so I would say it could be due to dilated urine.

Beautiful lines Mars! So excited for you! Congrats!

I love seeing the BFPs from everyone! Gives me hope. [emoji4]

I just want to say that this 2ww feels like a 4ww since I was about 10 days early on what I thought was temp shift. Agony! I just got my 100 pack of Wondfos though so I'm ready for next cycle too! At least something to look forward to!

I second it feeling like forever. It has only been 2 days, and I am already planning for next cycle. I have lost 2lbs [emoji4], refined things once again, and am ready for cycle 9. I feel things are as good as they can get right now- everything is in balance and harmony. I can keep trying without any angst. I am just anxious for something to happen- AF or BFP. Oxymoron, huh?! I am a piece of work [emoji1][emoji6]!

Congrats Mars!!

So sorry, Maiden. Hopefully this cycle!

Mars, I sm so happy for you! What beautiful dark lines!

tm29, it absolutely sounds like dilution is affecting your OPKs. I have to be so careful about how much I drink to get positive OPKs.

Thanks Mars and Maidentomother - We went for it. I was completely terrified that it was some kind of false + but we went for it anyway. Assuming that was +opk then we've had one attempt on + and we'll try and one today. Hopefully another today and 2 tmw if DH is up to it.

My sway was SO imperfect. I'm really stressed about it. We had a loss at 12 weeks after a really good sway but then I waited so long (since early dec) for my cycle to return that atomic advised me to go for it on the first ov even though we're ttc blue. I had been eating kind of HE but possibly not quite enough cals and definitely not enough fruit and too much coffee and I even had alcohol. But I REALLY do not have time on my side, so we went for it.

Even so, it was a completely different diet from the one that got me my gorgeous daughter. That was textbook LE. I feel completely in awe of you strong, healthy boy-moms with your high nutrient diets. I think I may have done my best to be a member of the club - I really hope it was good enough.

Here I am with all of you ladies. Few more attempts to go, but I'm a Feb 2ww girl. Huge luck to all of you - it's all so agonising this stuff. Matters so much.

I'm excited to be in the 2WW with you tm! Maybe we will both get our BFPs!! I'll take your pink dust and you can have all my blue
