STILL Positive?!

Day 14. Definitely positive test. More than day 12 I'd say. So, the other tests that as dark lines, but thinner aren't real positives?? Today is almost as thick as the control. And definitely as dark. I need to try to take a picture of the crazyness. I'm still having achiness/twinges/cm issues going on. So apparently we just keep going till all signs disappear. A little over a week till we find out for sure. Maybe there is more than one this time or I just am opk stupid.

Still positive

I think. It's kind of skinnier. So, one skinny dark line and then fading on the sides. I guess that's not technically positive anymore?? It's day 13. I definitely feel a lot of twinges and cm is there. So, somethings going on. It's going to be a really long wait I think. I must find some new distractions.

As of today, our schedule will get slower. Preschool is over. They had a cute little graduation for them today and cake afterwards. He's really going to miss it. We have to figure out a plan for keeping the summer active and social. I won't miss all the driving back and forth though. That's the part that sucks about country life. We were 20 mins away, and his class was only 2 hrs. I know it is important for him so I sucked it up.

But anyway.....
I'm pretty sure about ovulation, and it's right on schedule from what I felt round 1. Maybe I should avoid testing and wasting any money on tests till I get to day 31. I guess we will see based on my blood work. I go on day 24, so maybe with this being earlier, if it works maybe the pregnancy part will detect a little something....That would be really cool. Now I'm just sleep deprived and crazy. Better go to bed.

Old records

I know...lots of posts this week. It's rainy and nasty here, so there's not much else to do. And I'm in a really good mood lately, so I'm talkative. Obsessively, according to my husband... I'm happy though so no complaining.

Anyway, I have a copy of the majority of my old records from the ob/gyn/RE. What I don't have is a complete file from diagnosis of IF, pregnancy info from the midwife when I was pregnant with K, or all the bleeding issues and drama from 2006. So, I called and found out that I can get it all in 2 weeks. No charge! When I left that office, it was to go to my first RE. When she closed and gave me a copy of my chart from her office, it was only her records. Anything transferred from other places, was up to me to go back and get. I didn't then so it's really cool that I can go back and get it now. And I know a lot more about it all than I did back then, so I can go back through and uncode everything to make sense of it all.
Besides, if this month works, I'll need my pregnancy records in about 2-3 weeks. So better get it now so there isn't a wait. Tomorrow I'll go get that paperwork signed so that's started.

I also want to say, I'm totally jinxing myself probably, but I'll be near the dollar tree tomorrow and I think I might have to buy some tests. And last time I was at target I saw that the EPT brand digitals were clearanced for around $5. I'm tempted to get 1 or 2 of those just in case.....I don't know that I can have self control this month. OPKs ruined me. Oh well.

Positive!

My opk is positive today. I've tried pictures but I'm having camera issues, and it really isn't showing up the same on picture. But the test line is almost as thick as the control, and the coloring is the same. The line isn't quite as thick though. According to my researching today though, it's definitely classified positive. It's day 12. I have the same twinges and cm as the last 2 rounds around this point.

So, our timing schedule was supposed to be 10, 11, 12, skip 13, back on 14, 15, 16, skip 17, etc. But.....How wrong would it be to keep going instead of skipping?? We're up for the challenge, no issues there lol. His SA was "perfect" so no issues there. Keep on going?

And I'm reading mixed things about these opks. One place says 12-24 hours detection, others say as high as 48 hours detection. I'm going to be finishing off the box of tests either way.

Here's the crappy picture.

Day 11....

I remember now why I hate opks. Both days now, it's been so close to a positive. Half the line is dark and the same and then the side is just barely there. I think I'm just not supposed to do these things. Remind me next month to either buy the smiley kind, or not do it at all.

I'm really trying to stay lower stress level this month, drinking the green tea, taking mucinex still, and just relax. Everyone says just relax and let it happen. If only it was that easy right? I'm not doing that bad yet this cycle. I've been getting a ton done that I have hoped to do, staying busy with other things, and this past few weeks have been great with the husband. We're getting along great and I feel like we're on the same page again. I feel like he understands more since our big talk after the start of this cycle. That in itself makes me feel a lot better.
