Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

That makes me feel better Claire

I won't talk to anybody about OPKs or temping in RL because I know they will tell me to chill out, but 'chilling out' isn't an option for me and with the gynae problems I have, I feel like if it doesn't happen at least I can give the Doctors exact details about my cycle straight away.

I love that people, websites etc say about doing opk's at 2pm.
I have visions of women ttc everywhere running off to the loo dead on 2pm

^ I've definitely POAS at work! In fact, I found out I was preggers in the loos at work! It was at lunchtime, so I probably looked dazed & fraught for the rest of the day.

Oh I never talk about my TTC journey with anyone IRL. The only time I slightly delved into it was when my friend was only having AF every other month, so I recommended OPKs. I think everyone I know would class me as a crazy person if they realised how obsessive I got about it :rotfl:

Just wait until you're using OPKs as early pregnancy tests like I did... (don't do this, I was fully in crazytown)!

Only OH knows about my opk habit and cycle tracker app, no-one else IRL. Glad to have this community where everything goes from opks, to temping, to cm inspection, to ntnp :-) Whatever feels right to you.

Well, my body decided do what it does best and kick me in the teeth yesterday-would have been my 12 week scan (well, actually 12.5 weeks, but never mind) and it gave me my period. Ah well, at least I know op seems to have been successful Was very sad yesterday but now it's a new beginning.

I'm determined not to become obsessed, so won't use OPKs (prior to MMC I knew from my body when it was happening anyway-after 17 years on the pill and 5.5 with a mirena coil it was a bit weird to actually HAVE cycles! Hopefully they will be the same now anyway, as my dr put it, if I have 23-25 day cycles it just means I have more chances to get pregnant!)

Obviously if I am not picking up my cues or things don't seem to be as regular then I may have to rethink things...

Sorry that it's such rubbish timing hotcookie, but at least you can see the positive in the new beginning.

I had a strong positive on opk at about 5pm yesterday, very helpful when OH got home early hours of this morning and was absolutely not in the mood - he couldn't even keep his eyes open long enough to get undressed to get into bed.
I feel mean for being annoyed with him - he'd started a new job and done a flight and a 14 hour day on Mon and similar yesterday for training and then had to fly home so I should be more understanding, but now I'm worried we have completely missed the window

cats2012

kirsty it may well be too late but do an opk today too and it can't hurt if OH can find the energy! I used to get positives for 2 or 3 days so was never quite sure when I actually ov'd as it should technically have been within a few hours of a positive. Can't hurt to try!!

Working away etc is always a spanner in the works unfortunately but fingers crossed.

hotcookie - so sorry to hear that, but onwards and upwards. I have everything crossed for you x
