CBDigi OPK Q, Royal Wedding Interference, and Rant

in TTC After a Loss

figured I might as well lump these all together....

I'm going to use my CBE digital OPK today (first timer) and try to go around 2.  I just went to the bathroom now.... Should I not really drink any water?  I usually drink a decent amount throughout the day, will this have an effect?  Also I'm afraid if I don't I won't have 5-7seconds worth if I don't.... ha (sorry TMI Q)!  Any advice?

 

The Royal Wedding totally messed up my BBT reading today... I took it when I got up at 4am (was much lower than normal)... laid in bed watching, took it again at 6:15, and then again around 7 (my normal) and it was wayyy higher since I had gotten up.... oh well, at least it's only day 11

and finally, looks like it's my turn.  Got a baby shower invite last night for a good friend.... I kinda dread going and feel bad about it, but she's been obsessed with her shower since she told me she was pregnant (a month after our m/c).... gah.

    Ouch, the baby shower is always downer, especially one from a friend who won't stop talking about it. Sensitivity isn't a strong point of most people. ((((HUGS))))

     

    I don't have any advice on the OPK, so I hope someone else can come along and answer that for you! GL!

    You can drink water. I wouldn't drink TONS, but some is definitely okay. I try to hold it for four hours. I usually pee in a disposable Dixie cup, it's much easier than getting it on the stick for that long! Good luck!

    I'm trying to hold out til 12:30 and I'm occasionally sipping water but nothing more than that. GL!

    and sorry about the shower invite.

    I went back and forth with the water drinking because I too drink tons and tons. I tried to scale back a *bit*.  I think it's more important to try and hold it for a good two hours before testing.  I pretty much drank what I knew I would be able to hold for 2 hours, kwim?  I got smileys 2 days in a row so it all worked out.

    I also got a smiley the second day with FMU, so you could go that route as well!

    ETA- big ugggghhh to the baby shower invite Sad

    thanks everyone... I'm not drinking that much and plan on holding for at least another hour :)  (and like I said, its only CD11 so I'm planning on it being neg anyway... just a newb with the digital)

    Luvmybella - I usually use FMU with FR Opks, but this month I wanted to use the CB since I always am on the fence with "maybe positives"...

     

    And RE: my preg friend, she really has been super respectful and supportive and I really appreciate that, I just find the shower thing a little odd... she told me to save the date when she was in her 4th month... it's at her house and she's kinda of planning it herself (which just kinda looks bad)... I think she just needs to relax, but she isn't married so maybe this is way of getting an event planning 'fix'....

    My BBT got messed up from waking up early today, too. Now I have this huge dip where I probably wouldn't have had one. Oh well, it was worth it! haha Smile
