[love being a mummy]

Wow 12 days is a long time, are you eating enough?

[Yahmama]

So, I'm thinking today is O day for me...third day in a row of a dip in temp (I usually have either a 2 day or 3 day dip and O on the last day of the dip) and since I haven't had a +opk yet, I'm hoping I will get one sometime today. The opk this morning was actually strange...the control line wasn't as dark as it usually is, so the lines were closer in darkness to each other, though the test line was about the same darkness it was yesterday...but since the control line was fainter it looked closer in shade....does that make sense? Anyway, my MIL always takes my 3 kiddos on Thursday afternoons for a few hours, so DH and I are planning to DTD while they are gone--perfect timing I hope!
How is everyone doing today?
TTC-12 days is a very long time! Progesterone is supposed to slow down digestion, so maybe this is a good sign!

No, just opk strips I got off the internet...40opk plus 10hpt for 9.99...they seem to do the job pretty good! Glad it comes with so many b/c I'm taking like 4 a day now!

TTC5, 12 days is a LOOONG time!! Try some fiber? I hope it is a sign that you are pg!

Yahmama, I hope today is your day! Good luck!

[Hobbermittens]

POP, if the reading is right and you are meant for another girl, then you definitely sound at peace with that! I had a reading from Cara too, and I really liked it. SHe is so nice and explains everything! She told me I would have a little boy who would be born a little early, and would be a night owl. I hope she is right--about the boy part at least!

[Hobbermittens]

3P1B, I love your belly!! Hope your appointment goes well!

So, I got another high temp this morning, and FF says I O'ed on CD12 like you ladies thought. I still can't believe it, though! I feel like I should discard the temp for CD13, because I honestly was awake for quite a while before I took it (I woke up at 4 and wasn't planning on getting up until 4:30, and I didn't want to take my temp too early (I usually take around 530 or 6) so I waited to take it until 4:30 I think. I don't know how much difference that makes.

Anyway, the whole thing annoys me because I NEVER O that early, so I feel like I was robbed of doing a propper sway--we atempted on the odd days, so CD9, CD11 & CD13, so I had two attempts in there before I O'd if I actually DID O on CD12... But that means no attempt on the actual O day! Plus, the opk didn't go positive on that day until the afternoon--is it really possible to O before the opk goes positive, or so quickly afterward? I usually O about 24-36 hrs AFTER a +opk!!
