Could this be my O drop?

CandaceDianne · #1 August 1st, 2009, 05:37 AM

My temp dropped a LOT this morning, from 97.3 to 96.9. Is it POSSIBLE that its my O dip??

Coley · #2 August 1st, 2009, 05:40 AM

That is VERY possibly your O drop! What's your CM doing today?

CandaceDianne · #3 August 1st, 2009, 05:44 AM

A little EWCM but still mixed with semen. I am about to take a run, which I have read helps produce CM...I will report when I get back. I checked my cervix a minute ago and it was still very high, but it felt closed (but it does that throughout the day...more open then it will close).

Coley · #4 August 1st, 2009, 05:46 AM

Sounds good!! KUP!

sweatshirtgirl · #5 August 1st, 2009, 05:53 AM

could be! Get busy!!! lol!!!

CandaceDianne · #6 August 1st, 2009, 06:34 AM

Not as much EWCM as there has been, but there is some and some watery. Its really hard to tell which is semen and which is EWCM. LOL I am going to record EWCM just to be safe. My cervix, now, feels lower (mid) and still partially opened.

Oh!! I get so excited when I do good with my predictions!!! I think you are going to ovulate very soon. I usually don't ovulate until a couple days after my temp dip so you may need to hang tight just a little bit longer. But all is looking good. Your cervix position will change throughout the day so find one time to check it and stick with that time.

I also think you should record your CM as watery. Watery is also very fertile CM. I think you are getting real close!

Thanks for the tip, I went ahead and changed it!

I love my DH buT I am so ready for a BD break!

I am going to keep chugging along though.

Oh, is it too early to worry about having a short LP? Thanks!

Coley · #9 August 1st, 2009, 04:35 PM

I wouldn't start worrying about that just yet.

Let's get your O date out of the way first.

I agree with Nikki. You really need to just wait and see. I have no reason to think your LP will be a problem. Hoping you o soon though!

Nice drop, get it on! hehe

CandaceDianne · #12 August 1st, 2009, 07:45 PM

I bought some OPKs tonight after one of our friends suggested we get some. YAH!

I am going to take one tomorrow morning after I temp and see what it says. Wish me luck!

Admin-pattyandthemoos · #13 August 2nd, 2009, 11:45 AM

I think your temps are looking great. I know it doesn't seem like it. If you guys are getting tired I would take a rest today. Since you had a negative opk you are probably safe to take today off. I think you are getting close because your temps are pretty low and your CM is looking fertile. You just might have to be patient while your body gets back on track.

CandaceDianne · #14 August 2nd, 2009, 02:20 PM

I think so too, but we will see. I think we are going to take a much needed break from BDing LOL and then I will re-test with some OPKs Tuesday morning. I had a pretty good amount on watery CM not too long ago.

Yes, take a rest. Hopefully you will get a positive opk tomorrow!

CandaceDianne · #16 August 2nd, 2009, 04:22 PM

can your test really change that quickly? My test was pretty dang light this morning. I did read that it can be darker after noon, but I cant wait that long...meaning, I cannot usually hold my urine for 4 hours unless I am sleeping haha.

robineliza · #17 August 2nd, 2009, 07:18 PM

Yes they can change in a matter of 1 day or even less! It is not necessarily a gradual increase in color because the opk's detect a surge of LH. Because there is always some LH in your urine that is why there is often a faint line. I would keep testing each day - maybe twice a day because it seems like you are close to O-ing! That's what I'm doing anyway! Good luck!

CandaceDianne · #18 August 3rd, 2009, 04:22 AM

Oh wow! I didn't realize even through the day it would change.
Could BDing the night before you test (less than 8 hours before testing) affect the OPK? I know it sounds like a silly question, but I was just curious. I wouldn't think so, but wasn't sure. Today's test was just as light and coincidentally, my temp went up lol. Now I have some spotting going on, which could be break through bleeding since coming off of bcp.

You could have missed your surge. You have been having a lot of signs of ovulation. I think it is quite possible that you could have had a positive opk a few days ago that you missed. The spotting you are having could be ovulation spotting! (I don't know that it is though. Your cycle could just be out of wack from going off the pill). I would try to bd today if you can.

You'll just have to see what happens tomorrow.

CandaceDianne · #20 August 3rd, 2009, 04:55 AM

Patty-DH and I BD'd last night and we will tonight. We couldn't resist each other!

Its amazing that after I was sooo wanting a break from BDing to get some rest, we still found that spark to make love. Lately, its been all about making a baby!

So, my other thought is...maybe it was a little more rough than normal, but it didn't really feel like it. I also am having some lower pains, but I have been getting cramps and invisible O pains for a week or two now, so I am not holding my breath!

Anyway, we will see what tomorrow's temp does.
