@BB2018. I would start the cream I think maybe Thursday to make sure that you did ovulate. What kind of cream did you buy again? Your OPK should be about the same darkness or more darker than the control line. At least that is what I was told. I just used the FR Ovulation tests for the month (yes or no) and then once you got the yes then the egg will be released in the 12-36hr range. Dip tests are so confusing for me so I don't use them. I hope you guys catch the egg this time around. That's a lot of BDing and hopefully the swimmers had enough time to rejuvenate but anything is possible. I am crossing my fingers for you.

@FlamingoGirl13. I totally hear you on the spam. It has gotten a lot better. I reported what I could on the posts as there are so many of them. How are you doing today?

Just checked the main page and they are all gone. Kudos to admin for staying on top of things.

@Dragonfly23 - They are gone! That was nice and quick. I like that we can report them or users now and say that they are spam. I'm doing well! My new batch of OPKs should be here on Wednesday and I'll start using them on Saturday or Sunday. I considered not using them but then I've grown to like the confidence they give on pinpointing ovulation before my temperature spikes. I've take Beaut1ful's advice and I'm only going to start temping when I start using my OPKs and then I'm going to stop at 6DPO. This will show that I ovulated and take the stress away during the tww of hoping my temperature doesn't drop. I hope we are not as tired during my fertile period this time around as I want to make sure we BD the day before, day of and day after O. Last cycle we got 4 days before O, O and the day after. I think we need more swimmers waiting. We also have not used preseed the last two cycles so I'm going to insist on that for my fertile days this time around. I'm SO ready to be pregnant!

Yes that’s correct, after a positive opk you should ovulate 12-36 hours later.
Definitely not pregnant this cycle, I’m like 15 dpo common period, get here already! (I tend to have long luteal phases) been cramping a lot the past few days but I’m not sure if it’s gas/ovarian cysts/period trying to start. Hopefully period gets here soon so we can attempt a late December baby.

Thank you ladies for the info!

Dragonfly this is the cream I got...

@BB2018. That's the one I got but in Lavender. Hope it works for you. There was another lady who bought the same stuff but it didn't work for her and her period still came. Not saying it won't work for you because everyone is different. Let us know how you make out. I wish you tons of luck. Better get off her and get the hubby in the mood.

@FlamingoGirl13 - I took one last night before bedtime and actually got a more visible, yet faint, line. I'm still skeptical though.

@DiviniumLiv - When I go to your gallery and use the tools I can see a faint line too! I'm so sorry for all the chemical pregnancies you have suffered. You may have already talked about this and forgive me if you have, but have you sought out medical help yet? I'm not sure where you live but blood work might answer the question as to why you keep having chemicals. I'm thinking of you and hoping you get your sticky bean this cycle.

@FlamingoGirl13 - I talked to a fertility specialist a few months ago, but since we already have a child we are not at the top of the list. I could go to a private specialist, but that would cost a lot more. We have our first appointment on monday. After that I guess there's bloodwork to be done and also an ultrasound. We did an "infertility investigation" with our first also. I live in Sweden, so I guess it's a bit different here.

And btw, I have no problem talking about my chemical pregnancies, so no worries. I'm all about beeing open about this kind of difficulties.

Well, I guess I'm out. The FRER is negative and I just saw som light brown discharge. I always start spotting around 13 dpo, 2 days before af arrives.. At least I have the appointment on monday to look forward to. Hopefully it will be the start of figuring out what's causing all my chemicals.
