@skyline- now that I really think about it, it does make sense. If I O'd 12 hours after I got the positive, and I didn't BD for another 12 hours, then that was my problem. I BD'd about 48 hours before the first positive and that was it. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, you're probably right!

Lame work for keeping DH away so much!! Hopefully after thanksgiving things will calm down (DH works in management for a huge grocery chain in the South)

@football - Hope you get to BD at the right times this cycle. Remember that sperm can live up to five days, so it's best to BD before and during O. Obviously if you get it in after O it's too late. Maybe see about using softcups after BDing if you're not going to get to do it as frequently or as close to O as you'd like.. I think @jsx did that when she got her BFP.

@LSchrader - I just remembered you confined you had your surge. I so hope you O at the last possible moment! DH gets home tomorrow(Sat.)?

@skyline- thanks, I hope so too! I'm not sure I'd be able to handle the soft cups, though. I don't even like sticking a finger up there and I've never felt for my cervix so...I think that's out of the question for me (right now, at least) ;) I think since I know when I typically O, I'm going to focus on BD'ing a few days before the expected positive OPK. I didn't think BD'ing before the positive really would do anything. So we'll see how it goes and if I can prove myself wrong!

Can you still have an LH surge and have already O'd? I typically get positives for about two days, and I was wondering if you O during the surge or after? I think I was mistakenly under the impression that if you're still receiving positive OPKs, you haven't O'd yet. I think I was having all sorts of whacked out thinking this cycle lol

@football - I just read that as soon as you get your true positive OPK you should stop testing to avoid confusion. Lol I'll read up more tomorrow, I just realized it's 2am!

@Skyline- you're the best! I totally confused myself this month... I'm up doing homework and {trying} to write a paper and CTP is a good distraction! Especially when my email alerts me that there's a response! :) Have a good night (or morning however you want to look at it)!

@football - What brand OPK are you using?

Wondfos :)

Hello everybody Happy Sunday!!! Nothing to report just want to say hey

Hello! BFN this morning. Guess I will just have to be patient a few more days! Hope everyone is doing well today

@lyrah hey...sorry I didnt welcome you! So Welcome and sorry about the BFN. But remember our motto in this forum, you are always IN unless the witch attacks on flu force.

@sky I think you were right. Today all cramping is gone so it must have been something I ate. I was thinking about trying to make some cake pops ...lol
