New year babies !!TTC Pink in May

[Marika]

Angie - I just took a new opk, it was negative. I have had really intense cramping on right side and a bit nausea today so I am hoping egg is releasing now. I'll stick to this one attempt; if I o now it'll be around 40-48 hours from attempt. Stats are just so much better for one attempt so I don't wanna risk anything by having 2 attempts so close (not even two days). This is our third attempt, but I felt impatient even before staring to ttc!

As for every 4 days I am a bit uncertain, but I would probably BD thursday and then monday again if aiming on 4 days gap. But not sure though, I am sure someone else knows better! Good luck to you!

Well I took 3 opks today, 1230, 230 and 430, definite lines but all negative. The test was blank on Sunday and very very faint line yesterday. Praying that this is an actual fade in pattern and I get a positive tomorrow. Hardly drank any water all day, I've only had about 1.5 litres and usually I have 2-2.5 by now! Will have to BD tomorrow night now at any rate because overseas friends have now invited themselves tomorrow night, will arrive at 11pm and I think they are staying for a few days so we will leave for holiday before they leave...

Opk's Aaaarrrgggh. I'm now thinking I may have missed my window. Took two yesterday. Nearly positive but not. This morning I wasn't quite sure so thought by tonight it would be positive but I've just taken it and its more faint. Any ideas what this means? Feeling annoyed with myself for not instigating bd this morning but was trying to be 'cool' about it. Something I'm really not, naturally! Do you think the window of opportunity has passed? Thoughts welcome. Thanks

Hi looby - I don't think you have had your positive yet hon. Sometimes we will get faint lines sometimes we will get blanks, they are the same result. Some ladies get a fade in pattern but not all. When I had that awful 95 day cycle I had some days with faint lines of varying degree and some days with blanks.

These blinkin opks are such pains!!!

[stephk]

Also - I am definitely not an expert or experienced user of opks! So definitely listen to the other ladies.

Do you normally O at the same cycle day every month?

[loobylue]

Thanks for you thoughts Stephk. I normally would get positive opk tomorrow but this cycle has been odd as started a week before AF with horrid spotting. The nearly positives were pretty dark but not completely the same colour as the control and one side of the test line was darker than the rest. Atomic suggested we bd day before +opk due to me having a wobbly 3 weeks on the diet.

I'm really trying to not get too detailed about this but it's hard.

Hope things work out for you too. Xx

Loobylue - oh, I just had problems with those opks myself. I am no expert and can't really advice. But are your cycles regular? When would you expect o?

[Marika]

Haha, sorry stephk, I almost wrote a copy of your post, didn't realize it until posting.

I hope your o is coming up!!! It's really time for you to get the chance to ttc!

[stephk]

Maybe see what atomic thinks? She is definitely the expert

[stephk]

Marika - yes I am praying it is coming!!! Having whole milk tonight and avocado tomorrow (staying within totals) in the hope that some good fat will encourage things along! I have acupuncture again tomorrow too. Hope it's positive tomorrow so we can BD - my DH is out on thurs.
