Nervous about O

Toster21

Next weekend fathers day weekend I am expected to ovulate.
My DH and I are excited and have been planning to start our family for the longest time!
Now that we're getting close I'm feeling nervous. I want to get pregnant but nervous if this weekend it will even happen. I know there's a chance it may not happen seeing that there is a 20 for heathy young people. I do feel confident! For months I've been charting and even last month tried an OPK and pinpointed my ovulation day.

I'm not stressed or anything...just excited and nervous.
I wanted to talk to DH but I don't want to make a big deal of anything or 'spook' him.

Anyone else like this before they ovulate? Excitednervous?

Sure! Even after 12 cycles, I still feel hopeful and excited before ovulation. I think it's "normal" to be a little nervous too. Making the decision to try for a baby is a big deal.

Keep in mind that OPKs can't always "pinpoint" ovulation. Typically, a positive OPK tells you that you're going to ovulate in the next 12-36 hours, but that's not always the case. The only way to know for sure is to chart your BBT. Check out the newbie link at the top of the bag. Welcome to the board and good luck!

There are 'Waiting to O' and 'Two Week Wait' threads posted every day. They're good places to post your updates and ask for advice from people who are in the same position as you!

So should I begin temping this week into next weekend? Or is it too late for that?

I have no idea whether or not it's too late, but it certainly can't hurt to start temping now. Most people use Fertility Friend. You only new a few days of pre-O temperatures to be able to detect a temp shift (which indicates that you already ovulated). So yeah, my advice would be to start temping as soon as possible in addition to using the OPKs.

Thank you. I will try everything I can!

You know you don't ovulate on the same day every month right?  Just because you o'd on a certain day last month, doesn't mean you will this month.
