I'm bored and literally have nothing to do all day.
Questions, comments, vents? Lets hear them. Flame free.

Re: Playdate (newbs & regs)
You can usually feel it......
No, but for serious, I think a few days.

Sperm usually reaches the fallopian tube and the egg within a few minutes after ejaculation.

10 degrees warmer?! You run chilly huh? J/K I understoon what you meant! At 7dpo w/ cramping and spotting I'd be pretty irritated over a dead therm too.
So here is my dumb question...
I got two positive OPKs in a row but they were exactly a week earlier than FF prediced my O date to be ...
I just started temping today, so I don't know when and if I Oed.
Should I test this weekend (It would be 2 weeks since positive OPKs) or just wait to test when FF predicts that AF would show up (Which would be in second week of Oct)...
hope this makes sense ...
According to Discovery Health, the fastest the sperm can reach the fallopian tube is in 30 minutes.

I'm sorry but a few days is incorrect. The sperm meet the egg within a few minutes of ejaculation.
You need to have sex in the days leading up to O because sperm can live for quite a while, up to 5 days (in perfect conditions). Having sex in the days leading up to O makes sure that there are sperm present when the egg is released. Eggs only live 12-24 hours.
I would probably test this weekend. If they are negative just wait another week or so and test again. Have you temped in previous cycles? If it's your first cycle temping FF is really just guessing.
hahah.. yeah I have tested it.. temping as soon as I wake up then after laying there for a few minutes.. it usually goes up a few degrees.. So I assumed with getting up and walking it would have jumped.. who know how much. My LP was only 10 days last cycle.. I guess I will just have to wait still to know.

What brand of HPT is the most sensitive?
Also, is it really best to use FMU with HPT's? My sister and I were talking about a few people we know that have gotten + HPTs in the afternoon which made us curious.

Also, did you google your real name or you user name?
Are you getting at least 3hrs straight of sleep prior to temping? If you are & the time is not varying too greatly I think you will still be able to see your shift.
I hate OPKs. I got a really dark almost positive line on CD 14 then the next couple of days they are really light. What does that mean? My temps aren't doing anything and I am afraid I am not going to O.
I know it's still early and I could still O, but I have a history of anovulatory cycles and I was really hoping for a "normal" cycle for once. I hate that this sh!t is making me a crazy.
Yeah, you are right, I was thinking of how long the sperm can LIVE in the fallopian tubes.

Thank you! And I googled my real name.

Here is a link to a chart on POAS.com https://www.peeonastick.com/hpts.html
It is best to use FMU for a HPT because that is when your urine is most diluted. If you test early with afternoon pee after drinking and eating all day your urine may be too diluted for the test to pick up the HCG. If you are testing later it may not matter when you test because the HCG will be so high.
Today was my first morning temping... I woke up at 4 to temp... and then I kept on repeating 97.2 to myself for the next few hours until I got to work and put it in my chart :$
OPKs can be frustrating. How many times a day are you testing? If you are only doing 1/day I strongly suggest doing 2. At least until you know how your LH surge is. For example, I used OPKs with FMU & at 4pm. I would get a few days of + with the FMU but never once did I ever get a + with afternoon pee. No matter how long I held it.
I just googled my name and nothing came up from the bump, however when I googled my name + pictures the first one that popped up was my picture.
I test twice a day. Once in the afternoon around noon and again when I get home from work around 4:30/5ish. Maybe I should start testing with FMU and see what happens. Thanks for your response!
I would just do the best you can. I would make sure to chart your CM, CP (if you can) and do OPKs. This way if your temp is wacky you have other signs to back up/predict when you O.
I am totally 100% with you.
OK, I have a question.
There's a piece of advice that is often repeated here (and has been ever since I joined TB) in response to the do-you-think-I'm-pregnant posters: "If you're pregnant enough for symptoms, you're pregnant enough to take a test." The idea being that a negative pregnancy test means that one's symptoms are phantom.
My question: What's the source of this advice? It makes a certain intuitive sense, of course, but I've never seen it anywhere other than TB. Where's the book, or website, or whatever that says things like "hCG doesn't cause physical symptoms until it's present in the body at high enough levels to be detectable by a pregnancy test," or "a woman doesn't produce any more progesterone during the first days of pregnancy than she would before a period," or something to that effect?
Not trying to turn TTGP into babygaga here, honest. I'm just genuinely curious -- and Dr. Google was no help.
Yes, I would count that as a cycle.
This is a vent!
I'm 13 DPO and 2 days late! I tested yesterday and it was BFN. I'm scared to test again as I don't want to see yet another BFN even though my temps are still up. I'm debating testing tomorrow or waiting till Saturday to test.
Green is when it thinks you may ovulate and pink is when it thinks you may start your period (all based on previous charts).

I don't know of an actual source & don't worry TTGP will never be babygaga.
HPTs actually are very sensitive to HCG. If you are having real pregnancy symptoms the HCG would be high enough to turn a test +. I also think you might be reading the "advice" incorrectly or it isn't being stated quite properly. Very early pregnancy symptoms are extremely similar to PMS symptoms. While the mind does can play tricks on you the fact is if you are having symptoms of pregnancy, your test would be positive. If you are having symtpoms of PMS, your test will be negative.
Either way, in response to the "am I pregnant" posts, no one can answer that question either way. If you just peed on 35 sticks and the test said negative then at that very moment you are in fact not pregnant. There is also no way to know if a symptom is pregnancy, phantom or PMS until you get a + test.
Good luck!!
I think a lot of times people respond this way when the OP is saying that they are throwing up or some kind of symptom that almost never presents iteself before about 6 wks. At that point, you should be able to get a positve HPT.

I started spotting at 7DPO and continued til (well now) at 15DPO. Seems like each cycle I start spotting sooner and sooner. Any reason to be concerned?
and TIA oh wise ones!
Could I get a chart stalk? Do you agree w/FF's O date? I'm wondering if I O'd two days later than it said I did. TIA!
P.S. no idea how to make my chart open in a new tab/window, sorry about that!
I used to start spotting around 3dpo every freaking cycle, it was ridiculously annoying. It can be caused by many things and can sometimes be a sign of low progesterone. For me it was nothing.
How long have you been charting?
I agree with FF. Why were you thinking 2 days later?
I know my temps were consistently (sp?) higher for 3 days in a row after the O date, but my temps rose pretty high two days later. Poor logic, I know, just paranoid that I missed my opportunity. I'm glad you agree w/FF though
