My clear blue digital OPK kit arrived today, so I think I'm all ready for this month now. Still a few days til AF though. Back to work tomorrow, so that should keep me busy and off this computer!

Hi All, mind if I join you in here? Am not actually attempting untill Feb (as I stuffed up over Christmas etc haha) but thought I might join you lovely ladies here in the meantime if thats ok? I see a few familiar faces in here which is great! Big Congratulations to those with BFP's already and best of luck to anyone soon to be attempting or testing. Heres hoping we have plenty of pink baby dust in the air for 2012!!

Welcome, Starflower!

Pink, hopefully it comes tomorrow for you!

It's around 6:45 a.m. here. I've got a meeting at my son's school this morning, and then I am going to try to keep myself busy until 2:00... then it's time to do my first OPK. I know it's too early for a +, but I want to go ahead and start testing to give myself something to do! haha

[PeonyPrincess]

Yay starflower, you have the same picture. I like flower pics! Good to see you found us here.
Pinkin, bugger about the -OPK. One of my brothers used to live in Melbourne and whenever I visited it was cold and wet. Just drizzle, but enough to make you feel miserable. And I have been there in summer too when it was almost 40! At least everyone dresses nicely. Plenty of slobs up here!

I would use it on cd 18 so that you don't have to use it again if you O by the 21st. I forget, are you using vitex or anything this cycle to try to stretch out your LP? Have you thought about progesterone cream or a prescribed progesterone pill?

I am not on Vitex at all. I was taking SP, but Sage advised me to stop it with my low levels. I have progesterone cream, but was not going to use it until after O. My OB is checking my progesterone levels this Friday to see if I need supplements.

I am not taking vitex. Maybe its the potassium, I will put a tomato on my dinner tonight. I am eating 1100-1300 calories, roughly 25 grams fat and 40 protein. How do you know when you stopped ovulating? Its just really odd that on cd4 my period is gone. Its not like me at all.

I'm also confused by my period this month! It's ended earlier and it has been VERY light compared to how it usually is. I think it's ended today...

Good thing we started FR yesterday, geez...

Peony, so excitied for your attempt coming up (hopefully!)...Peony, I also have really long LPs, as I tend to have a 28 day cycle and ovulate early on CD12 or 13, then I have the long LP...it used to not be that way, before I concieved DS1, I actually spotted a few days before a period so I knew it would always come, the month I was preggers with him I was in totally denial and thought, maybe my period is just changing itself....(I don't recall us having sex that entire month to even concieve DS1, so abstainance certainly didn't get us girls!)

Katie, hope you get an OPK soon, maybe later this week? What is your sway plan...do you have a rough draft of a plan or a pretty set in stone plan?

Pinkin, hope you get a pos OPK soon too!

I'm still a bit nervous about tomorrow as that would be the day my period would have been due. I was having a lot of tugging/ cramping (not like period cramps though) on Friday and Saturday, it eased off on Sunday. I haven't told my Mom or his family yet, we're waiting for the period to offically miss...I will call my Mom soon, but she's been kind of down about us TTC'ing...we are close though, so I know I can't keep it a secret for long, I just don't want to tell her quite yet, so I've avoided calling her, which is probably making her mad, LOL.
