Lol ttw is crazy

[lilmizz]

I know!  I am more than confused about all of this.  Since its my first month actually ttc, I am so confused.  When I found out i was pregnant with my son it was a shock so I didnt even know when

[lilbit0922]

I started testing on the 25th so from the 27 to the 30 they were positive its confusing as hell

[lilmizz]

Yeah from the dates I might be ovulating now like you mentioned and last time it got positive I wasnt.  I have had unprotected sex since august 1st so I am not sure what is going on with me.

Haha I know TTC is work that's for sure!!! It takes quite a bit of HCG to get a dark positive OPK, I was like 20-25dpo before I got a positive on an OPK, but it works! I can get a solid positive OPK right now if I took one, haha!

I got 2 positive last week the 27 and 28th I believe but todays was pretty dark as well.

Ikr I got post opk like 4 days in a row though

[lilmizz]

Ok ok thanks, I was so confused.  I have a few left so I will test again tomorrow about this time.  I didnt know they could pick up HCG, that neat to know.  Im hoping im not ovulating late lol because I sure put in the work last week during that time lol :)  If I am, guess ill be trying again.

OPK's can pick up HCG, but not before a HPT will so if you continue to get positives try a HPT, you could be ovulating later than you thought, or you could've geared up to O and didn't.

Ok so here is the weird thing.  When I ovulated 8 days ago, I have been using OPKs to track it.  Well I had a few extra sticks so I just went to the restroom and used one just to see because my boobs have been killing me and ive had discharge, well the line on the test got really dark like it did last week so whats that mean?

ID WAIT 10-12 DPO

I got a positive at 10dpo! A lot of ladies I know have, but don't get discouraged if it's not, if you think you might I'd wait til 14dpo! Good luck!! :):)
