Cd7-Cd8 and already getting ready to ovulate??

[Navywife620]

So for those who don't know I had a Chemical pregnancy last month. Starting spotting last saturday and full blown bleeding sunday and bled until thursday. This evening I noticed cramping and just a strange feeling..so I decided to take an OPK and of course after I went to the bathroom I noticed a decent amount of EWCM.. OPK isn't completely positive yet but getting there. I knew my cycles with month would be different but I thought I would ovulate late not early. I normally ovulate between CD14-16. Did cervix check and VERY high and starting to get soft. I guess my question is, is this even physically possible? Or could this be a fake O? I am worried because we just started FR a few days ago.

Okay, I am completely ignorant when it comes to the opks with lines...I use the digitals because I find the ones with lines too difficult to interpret...having said all that, I'm pretty sure that those always have some lines because we always have some LH in our systems. So for it to be almost positive, I think it would probably have to be getting much closer to the color of the control line?
I could totally be off here, like I said, I don't use them because...well...I'm blonde. LOL.

Anyway, I am so sorry about your chemical. I hope this month brings you a true BFP with a pink sticky bean!!! Xx

Yes you are correct you will have some sort of line, but when I am getting ready to ovulate mine start to get darker over the days.. Normally I barely have a line (when i am not getting ready to ovulate).. so I am not saying by this OPK I am going to ovulate today but I definitely think I will get a positive over the next 2 days or so. ( I have been tracking O with them since May). When mine are positive it gets as dark as the control, I have never gotten a darker one. But still this is Very early for me. I just didn't think it would be physically possible.

Got you! Wish I had more of an answer for you...
I'll definitely be stalking you to see how things go!!

Hopefully Atomic will get a chance to answer this tomorrow..

Thanks I appreciate it! I am sure I will update as I take tests over the next couple of days. We are going to prepare as if I am going to O early. Rather be safe than sorry!

Keep in mind though that just because your cycles and OPK have been doing one thing for awhile, there is NO guarantee that they will continue doing the same thing. Swaying changes thigns and so do chemicals.

Exactly! Assume and prepare for O, then if it doesn't happen, it's all good. KUP

Atomic- SO we started FR last thurdsay.. because of my OPKs, ovulation pain, and EWCM I really thought I was getting ready to ovulate... So we DTD last night.. but My OPKs are not getting any lighter or any darker. SO should we keep DTD every night until the fade out.. so lets say we have 4-6 days of DTD.. will this sway boy or girl? I just think I messed it all up... Should I continue on vitex since I don't know for sure I am going to ovulate yet?

I'd drop the vitex, may be delaying O.

If you are trying for more than one attempt, you should continue DTD until confirmed ovulation.

It's not times of BD that sway in any way, it is sperm numbers. So if your husband is depleted by FR and not releasing a lot of swimmers, and then if your internal environment is sperm-hostile and more sperm are dying off, then it's fine to DTD as many times in a row as need be. Older sperm will be dying off and new ones will take their place and the hope is that someone will be lying in wait when the egg arrives.
