Questions about BDing and OPK's

jessjillmama · #1 February 28th, 2011, 10:59 AM

Okay so I got a positive OPK Saturday and again on Sunday. I haven't done an opk yet today but I am about too. We got to BD Saturday night. Haven't gotten to BD again yet. This morning when I woke up I was planning to temp and have been the last 3 days but my thermometer wouldn't work so that didn't happen. Also when I used the bathroom I had EWCM and it had very light spot of blood in it. Does this mean anything?? I have never had that before but wondered. I know you can get spotting with implantation but wouldn't it be way to early for that? If I did O last night would I have a good chance to get pregnant?

I am sorry I am way to worried about all this stuff!

It's a good bit too early for implantation spotting if you only O'd yesterday

I'm not sure about the blood, maybe something just got a little aggravated from DTD. You prooooooooobably will have O'd before the next time you get a chance to BD, but if you O sometime today instead of Oing last night, you'll have a good chance of those "troops" potentially making a difference

And CM is *supposed* to dry up within a few hours after ovulation, but CM doesn't always do what it's supposed to. FF advises that if you're still having fertile CM, to still continue BDing.

I forget if you ever said anything, but do you usually have an easy time getting pregnant? If so then your last BD session seems very well-timed, and one more would just cement it, just in case, since you don't have a temp for today. Does Ava have a favorite movie you could pop in and buy yourself some time just before or after dinner....?

Yes I do get pregnant pretty easy. We got pregnant first time trying then I had a m/c, then with Ava we were trying for 6 months but dh was pulling out half the time so really it was prob less then 6 months. BUT I feel like since I had my tubes tied and untied that might make a difference with everything. I keep watching the CM cause that is what I thought. I am going to try my best to get a good BD session in tonight.

Oh and waiting on results right now from OPK....looks like its going to be negative...so does that mean I already ovulated?

No, it just means that your LH surge is done. Your LH surge causes ovulation, but it can happen, depending on the OPK brand, anywhere from 12-72 hours after your first positive OPK.

You could still ovulate today, so definitely get in a BD just to be safe. You can get a little bleeding when you ovulate so it's probably either that or from DTD. I really hope you catch this egg!
