Getting back together......
Me and my opks, that is.
I can't trust them! Lets back track to last week. Fertile CM, low temps, ovary twinges...but never a positive opk. Since I am self pay, and each visit to the clinic costs big bucks, we usually wait until I see lh line darkening on my sticks. I then go in for ultrasound, we trigger and IUI. My cycles are so wacko this is usually the best method since I normally don't ovulate until day 374 of my cycle.
I got antsy and went in anyways on Friday since it was cd 20 and nothing. Ultrasound didn't show any big follicles and she said my lining looks like it was "funky" as she so kindly put it. Funky as in what it should look like right after ovulation or with PCOS...which I also have.
Cue to this morning when I had my second day of high temps. I then went again, per my dr to see what was really going on. I had perfect striped lining at 17 and my bloodwork came back that I did, indeed ovulate.
So, just goes to show you can't plan everything...and we just might be like regular couples that "oops just happened to get pregnant" without running to the bedroom...pee stick and charts in hand.
I'll fall over if it actually happens.
In the meantime, I'm shockingly in the "two week wait" and officially broken up with my opks.
Screw opks. Maybe it's not too late to get an anti-opk statue on the ballot for this upcoming election.
ReplyDeleteThere is never a bigger surprise than a "we did that without any planning" pregnancy for an infertile couple. I speak from experience. And I hope you can soon too :)
I have never had any luck with opks!! Hope that your 2ww ends with some fantastic news!!! Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteI hate OPKs! Here's hoping you get a magical surprise!!
ReplyDeleteI hate OPKs too. I haven't had the guts to break up with them yet, but they have done little good in my life in the last few years. Hoping that you get a miracle anyways!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, OPKs can suck it! Hate that they did this.
ReplyDeleteI could never get those stupid things to work for me either. I'm sorry they caused you to miss out on this cycle. But at the same time it's good your body is almost doing what it should on it's own. Either way, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a miracle!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thanks for getting that darn Taylor Swift song stuck in my head. As for OPK, I am at a complete loss when it comes to those stupid things. I wish I had the money to go into my RE's office every month and let them tell me :)
ReplyDeleteYay for your body! And boo for OPK's not working! I'm so glad things seem to have "worked" on their own, and of course would LOVE for this to be cycle when it happens for you. :) It can happen! I'll be praying lots during these next 2 weeks. Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteBoo for OPKs not working, but fingers crossed for a miracle!!!
ReplyDeleteOPKs totally suck for me as well! I gave them up years ago.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that the 2ww goes by lightning fast and that this is your cycle!
FX for fantastic news, and that the 2WW goes by quickly! I nominated you for the Liebster Blog Award.
