Yes pieces 1-2 days pregnant! I hope I've been still having some back pains and ovary pains since twinges going on so hoping for good need in two weeks! I also realized my temps aren't super high like usual and when I seem my last two pregnancies charts my temps were low in the area I'm at so I'm also hoping that's a good sign! Finger Xd two days pregnant and for the swimmers to be in longer that means a girl would be on the way! They say us girl sperm takes out time and we live a little longer in the tubes to wait for the egg and I would love a girl!!!

@Tifferz, I know what you mean! This is the first month of using OPK's. We have been TTC since February and I had been going off of my sisters' advice saying I probably O late, since they do. Both are day 17&18. Turns out, I O on day 14/15. I haven't tracked my temp at all, but my first + opk was Saturday the 27th and then again on the Sunday.

My hubby was on accutane in HS, so that makes me really nervous :-/

@ shrader- ya I've never tempt eather, don't really understand it, I just go off charts but this is the first month we have really tryed on days of what I thought we o days

Yeah it is confusing to me too. If AF shows up this month, I will try temping next month.

Fingers crossed :)

@tiff and @lsch last cycle was my first cycle doing the full basal temp and so I am really getting into what they mean now. After you O you should sustain higher temps for at least 3 days. For example the past two days I was at 97.18 and today 97.38 ...after I O I should get up over 98 and stay for a while. OPK's and basal temps definitely takes out the guess work.

@pis - this is probably really stupid. I know they have Basel temp thermometers, but can you use a regular one for temping ovulation and pregnancy?

@lsch no it's not a dumb question. My first month in February I joined in the middle of the 2ww and ladies were talking about temps this and temps that ....for one week I was taking my temps with a regular thermometer ...lmao lmao I was so confused. I was out of my league. Lmao so NO it is not a dumb question.

You can use a regular thermometer if you just want to confirm . All basal thermometers do is not round off. So instead if just having a 98.4 temp it reads 98.43. You just need to see the temp go from the 97 range to the 98 range to confirm o.

@desertchic there you are...I knew you were reading

Hi everyone! Wow it all of a sudden got very popular in here. I'm glad. The more the merrier :) Welcome to the new people in here, LSchrader and to Shae. WOW, I go away for 1 day and come back and there is so much to catch up on in here. I don't have the time to address everyone. Just know that I'm glad you are here. I can't confirm O yet b/c I have not seen a 3 day rise in temps. Temp was very very low this morning. I woke up cold with the blankets off of me. So who knows.

@pisces ~ Yes, I am with you friend. I came through after all. Seems like I usually do at the last minute..lol. I hope you are right and that my NOT trying this month is my month. My b'day is May 26th. My Af is due on the 22. So wouldn't that be a awesome b'day present? About you... maybe since you got a positive opk today you actually surged last night or this morning? I have read that you can pop that egg anywhere from 12 to 48 hrs after you get your first positive opk. I think you are still in and it is completely possible...

@topo ~ Hey there. Sending you happy thoughts. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know which one you are going to get...
