@dpjennifer I have been only
tracking OPKs. I do track CM sort of, but have been very dry this month. We DTD
for good measure EOD. Glad to see you have O’ed!
@jchpg That is serious commitment, biking with a full
bladder in cold weather! Glad to see you have O’ed too.
@kath525 That’s so funny, were you able to test later?
@leahcimmichael I think I am going to call RE today to
see if I can get in.
@fishee333 I am definitely going to keep testing with
OPKs just for good measure and will call my RE today to see if there’s anything
they can do. Glad that you are (potentially, maybe, possibly) back in the game

I go here now. I had been taking a break and casually TTC the past two months, no temp- no OPK. Ready to OPK again. Just ordered the advanced clearblue digitals. CD2 for me.
DS born 04/22/15, Pregnant again 03/01/17 however loss due to PPROM at 20+6 weeks now TTC rainbow
Back story: one of my best friends has struggled with infertility. It took her 3 years to get pregnant with her first child. She started trying for her second in September. She got her BFP today. How is it that i can be so INSANELY happy for her and so INSANELY jealous at the same time? I hate that. I just want to be happy for my friend.
@kath525 - I've heard that people that struggle with their first conceive their 2nd easily. Crazy right? Your feelings are normal though know that. I'm finally at a point where it doesn't bother me any more and I am truly happy for those that get pregnant around me. Time does heal and help.
@vlagrl29 thanks. We've been talking all day which has helped. I do feel very happy for her. Just hope I follow suit soon. But it seems November has been a good month for BFPs so hopefully there's many more!
@kath525 - November last year was when I got pregnant with our loss so I'm hoping it happens again for us soon. Lots of ladybugs migrating and are on our house today. I'm taking it as good luck.
@vlagrl29 when I was TTC DS, the fertility clinic gave me 3 beautiful glass lady bug magnets as good luck. Two weeks ago I was shopping for Christmas ornaments and found one on a hook all by itself - it was a baby mouse laying on a santa hat with a lady bug on the pom pom. I took it as a sign and bought it in hopes that I can give it to my baby next Christmas (I know, I'm crazy....). Then, that night, I found a lady bug in our upstairs bathroom which I put outside. And then a week later I found another one in the same spot. So weird because there is NO WAY they could get in there directly from outside. I'm taking all this as a good omen.

I'm the same way @tosh24 one actually landed on me today. I took it as a good sign too plus I've just been feeling awesome lately. In the holiday spirit and just overall happy. The BD we've had this month I feel like it might actually happen again for us. We BD tonight and halfway thru DD opens our door! Her eyes were itchy and I had to wash her face put her back to bed and then finish up with dh.
Well on CD23 (super late for me) the amazing happened, I got a positive OPK! So weird since it went stark white for a few days. Of course I’m sick with a 102 fever but took one (rather a few) for the team and have been BD’ing. Hopefully all this effort will pay off after the TWW. I’ll be over there now.

@honeybeebub I think the opposite. Knowing I probably Od by now I'm already seeing I'm going to have to work more now to stay positive. Go away negativity!!
@vlagrl29 here's to hoping you stay positive this TWW and that it's your last
CD7 here still WTO but seems like everyone has gone to TWW. I am using clearblue advanced digital OPKs this month. I think I'll start them on CD8, when do you all start them?
DS born 04/22/15, Pregnant again 03/01/17 however loss due to PPROM at 20+6 weeks now TTC rainbow
I'm on CD 16 and still haven't gotten a positive OPK... Which is weird, I got a positive on CD 14 last cycle. The line is almost as dark as the control line though, so I'll test again tonight and then tomorrow morning. Its gotta be positive soon. Bd tonight and tomorrow for sure. I started them on 8 last cycle and 10 this one since I knew I ovulate around CD 14.
CD8 here, started clearblue advance digital OPKs. The test came back as invalid, *&^&54!!!!! WASTE of a stick!!! Then this morning BD, DH couldn't complete performance. Great start ugh, rant over

@vlagrl29 I hope so! I don’t usually O until about CD15 but ever since my D&E in June my cycle is STILL wonky and I O all over. Hopefully not too early this month!
DS born 04/22/15, Pregnant again 03/01/17 however loss due to PPROM at 20+6 weeks now TTC rainbow
Do any of you know if there's a connection between how long/strong a positive OPK is with when you ovulate? Like, if it's a dark line (darker than control line) for a couple days, then you ovulate sooner rather than later? I hope I'm making sense. I'm not temping so I can't test out any theory this cycle.
@fishee333 wonder the same thing! Thinking that it’s just catching the start, middle and end of the LH surge from my google search, but obviously not reliable haha

@fishee333 the month I did OPK and temp and CM tracking it was pretty amazing bc it all lined up! I’m crazy so I did wondfo as well as digital, got my darkest OPK, digital positive, EWCM and temp rise the following day.

Just a BTW, I think I felt O pains last night after I posted my question. And they were on both sides, which I've never felt before. I'm consulting Google of course, but how cool would it be if I released 2 eggs??
Anyone else ever use cleanly advanced digital and get ZERO flashing smilies?! I’m so annoyed I was waiting to BD and it just went straight to peak! Ugh. We BDd twice yesterday my peak day I hope that is enough

CD 13 and the OPK line got a little darker. I have a feeling I'll get a positive OPK tomorrow or the next day. Gotta start BDing!
And good news, DH got the job offer and signed it last night! So we will have great insurance next month. So unexpected but awesome!
awesome about the insurance @fishee333 I love when life works out like that so easily. Now you don't have to put ttc on hold.
