and another problem....

As it's not bad enough I got AF I just checked my ovulation calculator...and it turns out that I am going to be away (without DH) the weekend that I O'd last month....it seems that I am on 28 day cycles so it's all falling the same...last month I got my smiley on a Saturday....but I am gone the friday before and not coming back till Monday....This SUCKS!!!

Re: and another problem....

What do you think?? Should I use OPK's knowing that I won't be here the weekend I should O? I feel like it will make me crazy...or should I just relax and wing it??? or will it make me more crazy that I relaxed and winged it?

Or should I step up the efforts and temp and maybe the smiley isn't dead on??? What do you guys think?

Re: and another problem....

You never know when you are going to O early or late... I'd use the OPK's just in case. Good luck!

Re: and another problem....

My thoughts are I think we should try to relax and WING it. That is what i am doing this month.... NO OPK's, no mucinex, no aspirin for me. I need to be more relaxed and not think about TTC so much and stress over reading the OPKS... not getting EWCM last month...and etc.

Stress is one of the biggest factors ...so do what will help u relax.




for next cycle.

I say wing it! BD a few nights before you leave and the day you leave (if you can) and as soon as you get home.

I wrote this in my other post but this is EXACTLy what I am giong to do. I got pregnant on my first shot by just wigging it back in May...my doc said bd 3 or 4 times a week and you'll be fine...I'll just do that...it's in God's hands anyway...i'm done counting days and looking and feeling EVERYTHING and wondering what it means...I agree with the stress thing...it's too much...

Re: and another problem....

Id still use the OPK. I totally agree with what everyone is saying and I dont think you should stress or drive yourself crazy BUT you never know. You might get the smiley before you leave or maybe even when you get back.

I would also BD as much as possible before you go away.

However, if you think (and you know yourself better then anyone) that NOT using the OPK will make you MORE relaxed, then dont use it. I think at this point not being overly stressed is the key.

Re: and another problem....

I thinking winging it is a good idea, but I would definitely BD as much as possible before you go away. Good luck!!

Re: and another problem....

The last 2 times I got PG, we only BDed 3 days before I Oed. The first time I was using OPKs. I got the "+" several days after we BDed so it is possible to get PG before you see that smiley if you BD on Thursday. The second time I relied on my CM. (My DH works late a lot and we have a toddler so basically we're lucky to BD 1x during O time.)
