Positive OPK or...

[N1kkiL]

Took last dose of SI on Friday night, been very 'aware' of down there today and thought I'd test. Got this line but also aware today I've only had about 2-3 mugs of water all day (tested at 6.30pm, last drink about 4pm I think)

should I be hopeful or is it too soon after stopping SI for anything to happen?

Looks promising to me!! What cd are you on? And can you tell me when you too SI?

Hi Cantbelieve,

I'm on CD82! no OV since stopping the pill so took 160mg x3 and 200mg x2 from Mon-Fri last week.

Oh my god really?! I'm on cd54 and going through hell waiting for something to happen!!

Well I would say that they are definitely of equal colour. I was tempted to try SI to induce ovulation but was told that it may have reverse reaction? When you say aware? Do you mean a feeling or lots of CM?

[toohardtothinkofaname]

I feel your pain, I've just been willing something, anything, to happen!

I've felt quite a tingly feeling and slight pinching in left side. I temp so should know in few days if OV or just dehydrated!

Hold in there!

[Cantbelieveimdoingthisagain]

Oh, would you mind keeping me updated please? I'm torn whether to try SI? I'm just starting a course of acupuncture and Chinese herbs and wonder whether I should try SI!

Good luck, I hope this works for you

[toohardtothinkofaname]

Absolutely! Temp has risen slightly this morning from 73.33 to 77.33, hope it's even higher tomorrow (could just be OH can't stand to be cold & we have a heater in with us all night). I'll post on this thread with any updates

Good luck to you too, something has to happen eventually

Hi Cantbelieve,

I have an exciting update (how funny that I find CM exciting now! haha)

I finally saw some EWCM today, not a lot and on first test it only looked watery but tried again and hooray! my CP also feels quite high and rather 'mushy' today if that makes sense?

Also, to correct my previous post: my temp was 97.33 for 2 days running and then was 97.73 this morning. No idea where I got 73-77 from!

Excited for next few mornings to see if my temperature stays up. I've booked acupuncture for December to either help stimulate or regulate, depending on what happens in the next two weeks.

took another OPK today after hydrating this morning and another strong line. Tight feeling in uterus all day today, knackered and irritable. Fingers crossed for confirmed OV by temps!

Feel like I'm talking to myself on this thread but hopefully it helps Cantbelieve when you see this.

[Cantbelieveimdoingthisagain]

Wow!! Exciting!! Isn't got funny to get excited over CM!! Haha! Get dtd lots and lots!! Very exciting for you!

Well I'm still not showing any signs of anything! And on day 55 ??

I think I'm going to get on them... I did pop into tesco today but they didn't have any. Where did you get yours?

I was going to ask doc on Tuesday to induce a period with norethistrone and start taking them but it seems to have worked for you without having a period...

I've got 2nd session of acupuncture on Saturday, can't wait, it's soooo relaxing!! Yes wait to see what happens after ovulating, you may not need it! Fx

[Cantbelieveimdoingthisagain]

And sorry, what is CP? High and mushy? I'm still getting used to the lingo!

[toohardtothinkofaname]

I got mine fromTesco, they had a 3 for 2 recently.

CP is cervical position, when it's high it's a sign of peak fertility. Mushy isn't really a technical term but when your cervix is soft (like pursed lips) it's another positive sign :)

We can hear up to ovulate & it not actually happen though so only my temps can confirm it if they stay high until Friday.

Good luck with your acupuncture, there's lots of positive stories around!

[Cantbelieveimdoingthisagain]

Yeah I was hoping to cash in on the 3 for 2, will have to try a bigger tesco!

Yes good luck with the temps too. Got a bit of back ache in the last hour or so which is usually a sign of AF, keeping my fx so I can get on with the SI tomorrow. A pain on the left side of my tummy too but nothing on OPK. Temping kit is coming tomorrow so will start on Thursday!

[toohardtothinkofaname]

Temping was great for me to feel a little bit more in control & know/understand what was happening to my body.

Temp dip this morning back to 97.33 but still got positive OPKs. I'm hoping it's still on its way. I thought Monday would be too soon after finishing SI for it to happen.
