just spoke to RE again because she got my blood work back. she said only one follicle is big enough to ovulate at this point. but, my estrogen level is high and can "support" all of the follicles. wants me back on monday to resize

Ah, so just one is 'ready' then.

Sounds like she doesn't think you'll O over the weekend, but I hope you got instructions from her on what to do if you do get a +OPK.

she said only one is big enough right now to ovulate.. i said "so i get quads" and she said nooooo! so, she is definitely concerned about that. will rescan monday to see what the other ones do

exactly, my LH level is no where near high. so, you're right. doesn't think i'll get a +OPK over the weekend but doesn't want me to miss it waiting until monday. so, i'm to continue testing until then

OK so what do you all think. I have not been temping because I need a break. We are bd every 3 days and I planned on an attempt at pos opk. This was yesterday. It didn't look positive to me so we didn't bd. I usually get some ewcm and a dark positive, nada yet. I am CD 10 today and usually O CD 11-13, but nothing seems normal anymore. I also had an hsg done CD 6. Am I too late? We will bd tonight. KIMG0046.jpg

I would think that's a positive but I'm not great at reading them. Interested to see what the other gals think

sage, I have to meet any potential sperm donors in person, so I can smell them. I believe it's crucial for immune health. I for sure couldn't use donor sperm here in Germany as they don't give it to single women. Maybe in Czech? It's possible I'll become desperate enough that a video ofcthe donor would suffice. I guess we'll see.

I truly think DF and I bring out the worst in each other. But he is an anxious/paranoid type and that I worry about being a hereditary, since I know it is on my side, wnd his mom definitely has an anxiety disorder.. When we first met DF was a super sweet guy but I admit he's always had abusive tendencies, at least towards me. I don't think he has with other women, though. Anyway...I think nurture goes a very long way and if DF continues to act badly he will only see his kid(s) once a year, and he knows that. But regardless I will try very hard to find someone for next cycle, via online dating as you suggested. I haven't tried that but I think that might be better. At least there will be pictures! I do believe in love at almost first sight, I knew within an hour with my late DH.

Lace, my charts are the same, usually promising right up until before AF, sometimes with no temp drop as warning. But I'm still hopeful for you! My cervix is also my most reliable sign, both in determining O in advance and hindsight.

Taytum, it really is an incomparable feeling of relief! As for slow rises...I don't really believe in them, or rather I think they're rare, but even a slow rise would have more rise than your recent temps, unfortunately. And as XX said, I often see what looks like a slow rise initially but ends up being delayed O, including in my own charts.

XX, how close are your OPKs to positive?

smarston, what CD are you? I think it is unlikely all 4 follies or even most will actually O, as others have said.

dj, that looks ALMOST positive. Are your positives usually blaring or not so much? You still have time to O so I'd stick to every 3 days until you see a definite positive, which I think will likely be tomorrow or the day after at the latest.

djmommy....not quite but 75% or so? Took me about 36 hours to go from what you have to an actual positive.

Though I do find the cheapie tests annoying because the dye isn't always even. Like on my +OPK only the left half of the line was 'as dark' as the control, so it was positive but the entire thickness of the line wasn't the same so it was a bit irritating.

maiden, I learnt a long time ago not to believe ANYTHING in the 2WW, lol!! Right now I'm looking forward to Monday because it will be JUNK FOOD BINGE DAY. Yeah!! So no matter what I'm getting pizza and fried chicken and poutine and sushi.

That is what I thought too. Usually when I get a positive, it comes up right away and I can tell and say, oh yea that is positive. Sometimes the cheapies can be super frustrating but I guess that is why they are cheap...haha
We will bd tonight and I will keep testing and temp! Really didn't want to but will to try and confirm O. Thank you.
