Got pos opk and ewcm. Brown Chicken Brown Cow. Come ooooon Christmas baby! We had a quickie before company came yesterday, and now we are home and back to life as usual.
Looks like good timing to me! I would keep going, though! Not sure about whether the negative was because of too much water or just a short surge, but I'm also not sure it matters (aside from knowing your surge is hard to catch.. but you are getting pg this cycle, so who cares? ).
We've been waiting for everyone to go to bed before sexy time. Is been fun!
I'm not sure about how long an opk needs to be positive. I thought that out just turns positive during the surge and then usually ovulation happens 24-48 hours later.
Did your temp go up? That's how I know that I o'ed. I also totally feel a cramp pinchy thing when it happens.
I got my crosshairs this morning, apparently FF thinks I Oed 7 days ago...so now I only have to wait until this weekend to test. Not sure about this dip this weekend, but maybe an implantation dip?
Also on the waiting on a possible bfp. Tested today at 12dpo and got a bfn. I won't test till friday morning now unless af comes.
I wish you patience until Friday and a BFP then! Hopefully you just tested too early
Thanks I think I am out though because it is 12 dpo and a bfn but fingers crossed could use some good news heading into 2013 and after 2 and a half years of trying.

That can still be too early to detect. Even some of the E.P.T. tests won't work until you miss your period. Good luck!!

We did the deed (ninja-style on a futon) last night. We were exhausted, but I knew I was entering my FW so we toughed it out. :-P
My OPK was *nearly* positive this morning, so it's probably a good thing we did. We'll sneak and do it again tonight.
ETA: I brought a bag with paper cups, Wondfos, and cleaning wipes so I could take care of everything under the radar. I had DH empty the trash from the guest bathroom this morning because there's lots of company in the house right now and I didn't want anyone to see what looked like a positive preg test and start spreading rumors!

Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!
The surge happens 24-48 hours before ovulation. I think that means that, of you got a positive opk today, you should keep at it for at least a couple of days. I believe that the three days after a positive opk are your most fertile. I only started using opk's last cycle, so I'm no expert, but they are supposed to turn positive before you ovulate, not during.
Monica Geller, reporting in.. Temping was stressing me out so much, that I stopped 2 cycles ago. I did figure out that I'm fairly consistent with O right around CD14 or CD15.
My fertile week is supposed to be this coming weekend...over New Years...while we're on a cruise with H's family in the Bahamas. :-| I figure there will be lots of "naps" for Aunt Monica and several mysterious disappearances...
