Sugar, Water and Hormones

[XXforhubby]

FWIW, I conceived my DS1 with a SUPER early O! I too had to have ovulated while on my period. I'm talking I either Oed sometime between CD3-5!! It was confirmed by US. I would BD if your DH doesn't mind. What is it gonna hurt? If it's a false surge, then you still have time. If it's a true surge, then you're covered.

FX for you!

I remember you saying that. Hopefully, I lighten up by early morning. I think I'm the one more turned off by it than anyone. Was gonna start then as I usually spot on cd3 and 4.

Sounds like a plan!

A flashing smiley is NOT a positive OPK. You can have flashing smileys for many days prior to ovulation. A solid smiley is a positive OPK.

You can get pregnant from sex on your period though and it's because you're also making EWCM sometimes at the same time and it acts like a little "life raft".

I think you should go on your trip NOW. That's because I seriously doubt that you are about to O at CD 3 and postponing it means you may end up postponing for an attempt that is not likely viable only to be away from home during your fertile window.

Please use the instructions that come with your brand of OPK. Different brands are calibrated to work either with FMU or after lunch, so you have to go with what the company who manufactured them wants you to do.

Right, but you were not taking Clomid and you do not know how long your LP would have been that month because you got pregnant. A CD 5 ovulation while on Clomid and then with a 19 day LP tacked onto the end of it does not compute.

[atomic sagebrush]

Ok. I'm not planning to take clomid again. So are you saying this surge must be from last months clomid (residual effects)? I have to travel starting Monday and won't be back until Thursday evening. Six days would be perfect. Do you think I can catch it?

Your body uses the hormone detected by OPK to do lots of different things. In fact, your husband could POAS and sometimes get lines on the sticks (dark, but not positive lines = flashing smileys). It is ONLY when the concentration gets to a certain level that ovulation is actually triggered (solid smileys)

How likely can semen get through spotting though?

Very likely, but it is very UNlikely you are going to O this early.

Ok. What I meant about postponing was a 6 am flight vs. a 5pm flight the same day.

Ok. Thanks. I just thought BD closer to Monday afternoon would help more than like Monday at 2am.

My concern is that you're cutting into the time at the end of the trip when you are much, much more likely to be fertile (assuming you'll get home later now than you would otherwise) for something that is very, very, very likely a false "high" reading. It is NOT a positive OPK when it's flashing and you can get either a)false positive "high" readings during AF like PB mentioned and/or b)many, many days of flashing days before you eventually get that positive. Either or both could be happening here, so I hate to see you postpone now when the odds are very high you are not fertile, only to end up possibly missing O!!

if you can end up getting back at the same time, that's fine. It's the other end of the equation I'm worried about.
