No problem Mel - I hear so many women think they have missed the boat when perhaps they just are not one of those lucky women that get a true positive one day and off you go!
You are so right,,, JUst becasue you get the timing right doesn't mean that you will get "lucky" that cycle. It's a long and diffiuclt journey for the sperm to meet that egg. However, isolating your ovulation time and getting jiggy with it then optimises the opportunity.
One of the reasons cited for women not conceiving within 6 months of ttc is that sexual intercourse wasn't frequent enough and wasn't timed correctly. Charting can tell you after the fact when you ovulated but can be varied due to shift work, broken sleep, illness etc. OPK's once you can get them right (it took me a few months for my body) will be very accurate.
So, we can all strike those two off our list!!!!
Nighty night
Wow Mel and Flowerchild, I am having major brain drain with all this talk of OPK, I am thinking of getting them this month when AF arrives (positive thinking is not my strong point) so I think when I do I am going to have to get OPK's for Dummies Book (lol) I like Mel have now become a HPT addict, I stair at those little suckers for so long just in case there is a line there that somehow I have missed. I even keep the one I have used until I do my next test so that I can compair. Totally insane I know but hey, insane is my sane at the moment.
We just had two friends over to say goodbye as we are heading to Canberra soon. We haven't seen them since we lost Harrison and the woman was so good to me, she looked a photos of our little man and asked us questions and just listen to me blurt it all out. I really realise how good my friends are. About 10 years ago she lost a baby at 12 weeks. It is only when you talk to other women about losing a baby that you realise how many women have experienced this pain.
Mel, all that talk of pancakes has me drooling. I think that if (or should I say when) AF arrives I am going to get DH to take me out to a pancake Parlour. I think I could devour one of those sweet ones you were talking about.
Anyway, I have a headache and I am exhausted after my big Deep and Meaningful so I am going to head to bed.
Sweet dreams of Christmas you wonderful, special, amazing souls
Morning girls, and what a fine morning it is!
Why am I so happy I hear you ask, well I am definately sure I ovulated yesterday. YEAH, no more bding for at least another 4 weeks maybe even 9 months !!! lol
Deb, great help with the OPK's. Any idea if B6 can bring ovulation early? I normally don't o until CD21/23 so CD15 is heaps earlier.
Mel, those pancakes sound absolutely wonderful. I am not a sweet kind of gal (unless I am pregnant, then it's hide the chocolate) so those savoury ones sound yummy. I wonder if they have one in Perth, I live in bush so have no idea what's around but I am going to investigate.
Spring, lol at dummies book for OPK's, I am sure it wont be long until they make one, they do a dummies book for pregnancy so only a matter of time. I know what you mean about talking to other women, I find that most people don't want to talk to me about losing Max, but I find it makes me feel better not the opposite. I love talking about my little guy and showing off his footprints. I hope your headache has gone after a good night sleep.
you wonderful, special, amazing souls
