Clara, you made me laugh! Dh and I are arguing over who has to answer the trick or treaters! Oh, and I have EWCM and really, REALLY could think of a few other things we should be doing

I wanted to tell you also, if we are blessed anough to have a baby someday and it's a girl, we'll name her Clara. What a beautiful name...

And, we are no where near Detroit But if you're ever up near CMU or Ferris, we're right between the two!!!

Happy Halloween!

Christy, Please move me from Waiting to be Ready to Waiting to O.

I'm not feeling super positive about this month since my acupuncturist wasn't thrilled that my temps fell a bit before AF actually showed up. Although she was happy to see a more dramatic temp increase at O.

My GYN ordered more blood work and I'm still waiting for those results. I'm planning on scheduling an appointment with another GYN because I don't feel reassured by my original doc - I feel like she doesn't take me seriously.

to everyone

Considering I'm temping for the first time in a long time and only on my first cycle since first PP period, I'm surprised Fertility Friend even found a place to put crosshairs. My mucus is what told me I'd ovulate since the temps pre-ovulation were all over the place. Here's crossing my fingers!!

Oooh Jezzy, your chart looks like mine did with baby #1. At this point if it were BFN, it'd probably be dropping down....

Thanks MamaRabbit I hope so. Still a little cramping going on. Not really bad, kinda like a pulling more than a af type squeezing. I really wish it would go away, that would make me feel better: I will call my Dr. first thing in the morning tomorrow if Af stays away. Would it be possible to see something on a us, or will I have to have blood drawn?

Congrats, Shelley4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know tomorrow you'll be next Jezzy - no pressure though!

I am checking out everyone's chart and there are a few more possiblities - DoulaClara that means you too! Your chart is looking very good...

I am at dpo 8 and I guess I might join POASaturday although I'm not getting my hopes up this time around since me and DH just dtd once before O... and really I feel totally normal not even psychosymatic symptoms this time around

mommy_in_chaos - how are you holding up?

greenegirl- how's that possible if you are dpo 10? I don't undertand how you can be getting a postive on the OPK? Obviously I'm a novice, I'm totally baffled...

ann109- Aww! I love babies named Clara! : (jk- I love all babies!) It was so funny when I was little- people did not take me or my mom seriously when she told them my name was Clara (I was a Clara in a sea of Jennifer/ Jessica/ Sarah's.) But now, no one bats an eyelash!

We only had 5 groups of trick-or-treaters. I wish I would have known, and dished out more than a handful of Dum Dum suckers per kid! One group was two hulking teenage boys in hoodies. I asked them to tell me the Preamble to the Constitution, and they just giggled. (Yes, I gave them candy anyway!)

greenegirl- : for you!

shelley4- , and a good friend of mine had two little girls and became pregnant with a little boy. With her first two dc, she never spotted, but with her third pregnancy, she was heavily spotting. She has a beautiful, healthy little three year old now!

hazieluna and Jezzy- Thanks! Jezzy, I'm still stalking your chart.

I had a pregnancy dream last night, but it was sort of comical- DH and I were shopping like maniacs for the most mainstream stuff ever, and kept cramming it all into the spare room- walkers, bouncers, strollers, cribs, huge weird toys... we just couldn't get enough! My bbs are definately sore, and that includes nipples now. I wonder why my pain went from the outside in? I still feel a weird sensation on my lower left side, and if crankiness is a sign, well, I have that in spades.

Lots of love and luck to everyone in the TWW, or about to O, or being visited by AF now.

On last week's thread, there was a link to an article answering the question Can an OPK be used as a pregnancy test. Lutenizing Hormone, which an OPK is designed to detect, is a sister hormone to HCG, the hormone a HPT measures. According to the article, it is possible for an OPK to show up with a line when you are pregnant. However, it is not as reliable since this is not what the test is designed for and you should really rely on an HPT, not an OPK to determine if you are pregnant. I decided to test it out this month since I got a bunch of cheap internet OPKs and HPTs in the mail, so am testing with both just to see what the results will show. The line I've gotten on the OPK is not what I would call a positive OPK result because it is much much lighter in color than the control line. But the fact that there is a line could mean that I am pregnant, but it isn't picking up on the HPT yet.

There is a place in the Control panel page on Fertility Friend where you can check a box so BD days don't show on your chart when other people look at it. If you want them to show, you have to uncheck the box.

For some reason, it is taking forever to open my previous post to edit, so I'll just post a new message! Here is a link to the article: http://www.peeonastick.com/opkhpt.html
