sunny75 I wouldn't stress about it too much. Our minds play all kinds of tricks on us while TTC. It could have been O pains or it could have been something else completely. Regardless I wouldn't count yourself out based on that. I often have pains that feel exactly like O pains way before O...so really it could have been something else entirely. Yes that's true! I need to get it together otherwise this is going to be a long TWW lol. Bah. Impossible to get it together during the TWW. I just don't want you feeling down about this cycle without real reason. You hit -2 and you O'd...so I count both of those as wins:) I was actually obsessing about possible O pains this morning so you're not alone:)

What does your timing look like? -4, -1, and O if it's tomorrow? Not amazing but not the worst! I think that's pretty good! 3 times in your FW. And YAYAYAYAY for early O!!! So many people on here have recently O'd or are going to soon. I hope we all end up together on the Jan/Feb board...and with all our EDDs almost the same:)

D1 is a February baby (Groundhog Day lol) and I don't think you can have too many things to celebrate at that otherwise dreary time of year! I got my call from my doc for the referral today but I couldn't grab a pen and paper because I had my newborn nephew, my toddler, and my four year old all on my lap while I was giving my nephew his bottle so she said just call back in the morning for the appointment info. I'm excited to get that ball rolling. If this is a false O signs situation at least I have that in the works!

Tlex I'm jealous! I'm still waiting for my phone call. I might call my doctor and check to make sure the referral went through if I don't hear anything in a few more weeks.

So I got a positive OPK on a digital test 2 days ago. I didn't think the line looked as dark as normal but whatever. Then yesterday a negative. Then today a positive on the digital again and a peak reading on my fertility monitor. WTF? I had a temp jump this morning and a huge dip yesterday but my temps have been weird this cycle so far. I'll try to post my chart when I get a minute. Do you think the first positive reading was just wrong then? I've never had a digital mess up before. Gah. So frustrating. And now our timing looks like it's not going to be as good as I hoped. We're aiming for late tonight so hopefully it'll be enough.

Good to know about the not temping during AF! I always have but like y’all said, the temps are always wonky.

sammysam, what a mind fuck. I know nothing about digital opks or fertility monitors. That is a nice dip/spike, do you usually have fertile CM after O? If going off of CM alone, I would say you O on the last day of fertile CM but we'll see what your temps do. Definitely hump it out just in case

sammysam UGH, that's super annoying about the negative inbetween the positives. WTF?! I was using the digital OPKs for months and just switched to wondfos. I decided that I hate the digitals because I want to judge the lines for myself and then I can confirm on a digital if I'm not sure. I wonder if the negative was a faulty reading? I get EWCM after O sometimes too. I would just keep HIO like charliefox said.

If going off of CM alone, I would say you O on the last day of fertile CM but we'll see what your temps do. Definitely hump it out just in case I usually have EWCM until the day after O...I had some this morning but it seems pretty dry now:/ I am so stupidly confused. We're going to fit in tonight at least and I'll try to see if we can go tomorrow or Friday too. Because we DTD yesterday morning rather than evening I feel like timing is all kinds of messed up. But that temp dip/spike I thought was pretty clear. I hate technology.

I get EWCM after O sometimes too. I would just keep HIO like charliefox said. I always check the lines on the digital sticks anyways and can always see them getting darker. The first positive reading was a little surprising since the line didn't look as dark as it normally does for a positive. Gah. I guess I'll count today as the positive and try to get in a few more sessions in the next day or two. Blah.

At least maybe if O is so much later than normal this cycle it might be promising for egg quality. I don't even know if there's any correlation between the two but that's what I'm going with.

And now I'm Googling "ovulation before +OPK". Stupid temp dip/rise is the only reason I'm not fully trusting the OPKs and monitor.

sammysam I looked at the lines on the digital too, but they are never as obviously positive as a wondfo... to me anyway. I like that my line on the wondfos is darker than the control line and that never happened with the digitals.

I like that my line on the wondfos is darker than the control line and that never happened with the digitals. So true. They get as dark as but never darker. I have considered switching to wondfos but I need that stupid smiley confirmation. Although now...grr. Based on the lines alone I'd say Monday's was just wrong and I'm going to go by today's.

You can do what I do and use both. I use the wondfos to makes sure I'm not missing anything early on and then use the digitals when I'm getting the test lines as dark or darker than the control line... just to compare. I realized that I am O'ing the same day I get the smiley face on the digitals. It wasn't very helpful to catch -1 or -2. I can see the line darken a lot more clearly on the wondfos than if I try to read the lines on the digitals.

I have my saline sonogram and endo biopsy today! I'm so nervous. I was reading online that you aren't supposed to have intercourse for up to a week (when the spotting usually stops) after the biopsy! I hope that's not true because that would mean I would be out this month. I usually O on CD 12 which is Sunday.

I was using my monitor and the digital OPKs but I like the idea of using the wandfos too. I'll order some for the next cycle.

Good luck wildhoney and please report back after. I am interested to hear how it goes as well as what they say about holding off on intercourse. If they say to hold off ask them why and if you can still BD anyways as that will likely encompass your FW and you don't want to miss out on a cycle if it's not necessary.

It said it can make it easier for the egg to implant. My hopes are high this cycle!! Maybe too high
