TTC After a Loss
Convince me to keep testing...
Am I being irrational to stop OPK testing after 1 week? I started testing last Friday, and have had decent EWCM for most of this past week. Some days, the stretchiness is better than others. My temps are kind of all over the place (up, down, up, down -- but not over the coverline yet). I thought this was the FWP, but I'm not sure. DH is sleeping beside me now; we're in a hotel for the holiday, and I wanted to get a little BD-ing in this morning, but when the tests were negative (I even took two this morning), he said, "Let's wait 'til later."
When I got PG, I got a positive OPK on CD18 (that would be tomorrow). Last month, the first month after the m/c, TCYOF estimated that I ovulated on CD26....but since that cycle was probably not normal, I went back to testing on CD10, and here we are on CD17.
What do you ladies think I should do? Keep testing....and I'll get a smiley eventually? Stop testing and just BD every other day? Other? I'm so impatient. If it's this bad now, what will the 2ww be like for me (if I ever get there)???

Re: Convince me to keep testing...
That is certainly frustrating! I'm sorry.
I say keep testing, otherwise you may miss it all together. Maybe try a dollar store for cheapie tests so it doesn't end up costing a fortune!
Hope your smiley comes soon and so does your husband
I fell to the floor laughing at this!
On another note, keep up with the OPKs. I wish I would have because now, I'm up in the air about did I O this month or not. I still say get with the sweet loving. Never hurts to practice.
haha Kelzin!!! :-) I like that last part. He's so totally asleep. I guess I'll test again later this afternoon. I don't know where a dollar store is around here, but I don't mind paying Walmart prices. That's right across the street from our hotel.
I was being hopeful, thinking the surge would be around now, and figuring out when I could test. Originally, I thought I could test right after going to DE for a continuing ed class. That's shot out the window now. If it happens tomorrow, that puts me back to 12/9 to test. That seems so, so long away.
Okay, I'll stop whining now and figure out where we're going to shop today.
I did read it. And I'm even using the software associated with the book. I liked it better than Fertilty Friend. It keeps telling me that I'm in the fertile phase, and that today would be a good day to consider using an OPK. I'm checking cervical fluid/position/ and temps every day. I just don't have a link in my siggy right now because of Ketamarie this weekend. That's why I wrote that my temps weren't above the coverline, too. They are just making a nice up/down pattern. Each time I have a temp that is down, I'm expecting to see a smiley on the OPK, thinking that the next day my temps will go above the coverline, but then I'm disappointed when they're up, but not up high enough.
I'm not really "guessing" -- just getting very impatient. I know that's not a good thing to be, but it's just my nature to want everything planned.
Good advice. Will do. Planning on going shopping with DH later & to see a movie. We haven't had this much uninterrupted time together (with our work schedules) since vacation at the end of July. :-) Whether we're having sex to make a baby or just having sex because we can (and don't have to plan it), it's nice to have some time together away from home.
