Pearl_325 amazing lol that's perfect - you have great days! I'm over here trying to avoid days LOL if i get my BFP i would announce to family/close friends xmas (i'm a big wine drinker and everyone would notice) - Thanksgiving would be perfect to find out - i'm in Canada so Thanksgiving is long past but I have xmas which is nice :) (if it happens)

also, this would be a first for me and the "dad" and I asked him why he wasn't asking me when i will be testing etc. he's like "oh i thought you would do something to surprise me". I am not really the type for a card and sappy stuff so i saw online to write it on pizza with the pepperoni LOL and then ask him to take it out of the oven...I'm laughing just thinking about it.

@mir777 hahaha I love that idea! I'm not sappy either but i would definitely like to surprise him so thats probably something i would do too lol. If all of this works out the way we hope you will need to include a photo of the pizza and let us know how he reacts LOL

Pearl_325 I definitely will! we gotta get that BFP now...

@callmecrazy. Thank you for that. Just a quick question and I am sure it is tedious and I should know the answers but I am new with OPKs. Since I tested today first thing in the morning, can I take it later throughout the day the remaining of the cycle? The instructions says that the meter will keep record of the surge and levels.

hey dragonfly23 : My OPK suggests to not use FMU - i tested in the late afternoon but only once a day. If you're doing it twice a day I would suggest mid morning and evening. Good luck! :) :)

@mir777. Thank you for that. I didn't know that. How embarassing. Plus it is easier to do it later in the day as I do not have time in the morning with my daughter running around the house and constantly at my side. Maybe late evening is best for me as she will be sleeping.

dragonfly23 No problem! I know, I was confused at first because Pregnancy tests suggest FMU. As i started to see the surge (even the slightest line) i would BD - and then it started to feel almost like a chore (because it ended up being like 6 or 7 days in a row of BD, which is great for some but we are tired some nights LOL) I didn't realize that the positive test line would have to match or be darker than the control line. (checkout my images - you'll see my positive) I think if this is not my month I would do every other day in my fertility window (per my cycle calendar) and then BD 2 or 3 days in a row once i see positive. My cycle is pretty regular (luckily).

dragonfly- Mine just came up + this afternoon and this morning it was a negative. all the other months it came up + in the afternoon. So if you want to try morning then afternoon go ahead.

mir777- that is what i am doing this cycle SMEP!

AFM i went to dollar store got a OPK and took it just now came out + again!!! Now i am nervous bc estimated AF Nov 30th. that leaves me 12 luteal phase days is that enough time?

beautiful - SMEP is what I'll be doing if BFN!! Thanks for the name you're awesome!

Well ladies - I started spotting this morning. I am gutted. Back to the clinic we go. I think we will do one more round of femera and if that doesn't work then take a break over the holidays and then maybe see if DH is ok with trying an IUI in the new year.
