Hi all. Im posting this on both forums in order to get some feeback from pregnant ladies as well Due to some difficulties, BD this month happened only once. Heres some info: Day 1 (BD day): an OPK was faint, negative Day 2: OPK faint darker than day 1, still negative (figured it was going up) Day 3: OPK super positive, showed up immediately Day 4: OPK faint, negative I really dont know how long LH surge (the up and down "course" that's detectable by an OPK) is supposed to last. Half a day? One day? Im thinking I caught it on the way down since day 4 OPK was negative again. Do I make any sense?? I guess day 4 is probably the day I oved. Now, Id love it to be day 3 (closer to BD day) but its not very likely is it? Ok, based on all this, do you think a conception is possible 3 days prior to ovulation? Its too early to be having any symptoms. Just looking for thoughts or similar experience. Thank you! xx
Hi there I saw this earlier and it might be just me, but I didn't know what BD, or OPK (something pregnancy kit?) or LH...A bit too techy! Maybe if you make it a bit more plain english?? xxx
Hi Well I think you do stand a chance, as don't sperm live for 3-5 days? Fingers crossed for you! Lucy p.s Blossom and Layla I'm not sure what LH stands for but BD is Baby Dance (making love) and OPK is Ovulation Predictor Kit. I think there's a thread on the shortcuts but I can't remember where it is. Lucy
thanks lucy, i have seen the link for all the letters, im still trying to learn them, so untill then i have to keep going back and forth between posts, it gets very confuseing lol
Hi Layla - I know what you mean, I think BD and OPK are the only two I remember off the top of my head!! When I looked at the shortcut page a while ago it looked like a new dictionary! Lucy
Sorry ladies, it didn't even cross my mind to explain the acronyms. BD=baby dancing (in other words, lovemaking 8) OPK=ovulation prediction kit LH=a hormone that rises 12-36 hours before ovulation and is detected by OPK's (this info is for whomever is familiar with these kits) Hope this helps thanx xxx
