Clairesmummy- i have some oldies here grazing around, one just turned 31, she is a funny old thing still puts on a turn if you try and do anything with her! I have one show horse only at the moment :)
Minniemouse - yes tempted to test - did test and got a BFN devo as you can imagine.
Loops - hello glad you had a nice weekend hope AF doesn't show.
Melster - goodluck sweetie!
Mathews mum- hope you are going well :)
Yes BFN....wanted to cry but too annoyed now the sulking has gone.
joeve-sorry it was a bfn,hope it was just too soon...loops-hope one has sneaked in...minniemouse-did you up your dose of clomid this month ,they had me on 3 tablets at one stage...melstar-good luck with scan,focus on the positive stories out there...afm-nearly due to 'o',so i'll try again,don't really feel like it though & then next month i'll try fet
still testing negative on my opk.
Shouldn't I have a positive 24hrs before I ovulate? Just tested then..... Hmmm how annoying I thought I'd get a positive today and another before I ovulated, what's going on? ,maybe I'll ovulate later.....is that even possible?
mum2romone - yes you are supposed to get a positive 24-48 hours before. The best til to test is between 10am-2pm apparently :) Do you have any CM? Sorry that a bit personal I know but I think thats a really good indicator
That's ok joeve, thanks for helping.... yes it's not clear egg white yet.... Not real thin, is that what im looking for?
Its A bit thick I think still, if that makes sense.... :( help ....

I just read myfirst post to you and it hardly made sense! I was trying to say the best time to do an OPK is between 10 -2 :) I just turned the light on so I can see what I am typing! Yes thin, very clear and stretchy, its almost like when you wipe the toilet paper kind of glides over the over and you know you need to wipe again...geez how is that for a description! If you see it on the toilet paper its shiny looking...... I think you are at the phase before you get there, so I would start DTD every second day JIC it sneaks up on you.
thanks that was a good description, definately know what you mean lol :) thank you....
What day of your cycle are you? shame about your BFN but could it be too early? With my miscarriage I tested after I was four days late.... And it wasn't even that dark of a line..... Cant wait till you get your bfp !!!! I will do a special little dance for you :hug:
Awww thanks! i can't wait to dance too! Glad you liked my description!:tmi:
I am CD27 I usually get AF at CD29 so i shouldn't have tested but figured if I was UTD it should have shown by now....
I think it's too early personally, when did you get you bfp before ? Straight away?
I'd wait to see Af doesn't show, then that's a positive really before you even test IYKWIM? That's why I waited so long last time, so I didn't go crazy testing everyday, but also because I was down to my last test lol :)
Still no second line on my opks, I tested at 11. damn these tests.......
Shouldn't I get a second line today.?
Maybe il ovulate later this month... Help?
joeve: sorry for the bfn, there is still hope for you this cycle, hopefully there is a bfp just around the corner
mum2romone: sounds like you are playing the ovulation guessing game with me !
is anyone good with opt's ? i always have faint line on them leading up to ovulation and thats what i have had this cycle but now they are even less than faint like it is going away again but i never saw it dark and have been testing twice a day for the past few days so surely i couldn't miss it ??!!! for you girls who get positives how long does it last for ? and does it get fainter again after then go completely ? im so confused :wall: im day 19 today
OPKS.....they defiantly interesting and its really easy to miss a positive...i have read up all about it because it was driving me insane LOL
I think that you need to test twice a day so you dont miss the surge, if you're cycles are 28 days you test from day 10 till day 17 or so or until you get a positive....but it really depends were you're cycles are at. if you have irregular cycles and you o at different spots it would really be hard to catch it...if that was the case i would probably buy internet cheapies and test twice a day from when you're period stops to be safe so you dont miss it and test till you get a positive. Also medications and infertilty issues also effect opks
They say positives can last as little as a day so if you're not testing twice a day you might be missing you're positive...they say you normally ovulate in the afternoon....so i would probably test lunch time and then later on that night...
With this one i think i got one positive and then it went lighter by the next time i tested...so if i wasnt testing twice a day i would have missed it..
I also had a light line throughout mine before i got my positive..apparently you have the hormone in you're system the whole way through and thats some times why you get a faint line for a while....I would get a faint line and then it would slowly get darker then my positive and then it will go light and then nothing
Good luck ladies.....thinking of you all...mwah
thanks Melster: i think i have a lot of hinderance to getting a good clear answer, i have pcos which i think you naturally have a higher lh throughout the cycle), i have irregular cycles and im on fertility treatment ! i hate the whole analysing part of ttc ! guess we just keep bd until im sure i have ovulated. how are you feeling ? when is your ob appointment ?
Melster i have another question for you, i think you were a cervix feeler (does that sound weird lol).....i don't usually check mine but did last night and it was high but i didn't really notice anything else, today it is still high but also open, what do you think ? does that happen a few days before ovulation or the day of etc ? and have you found it drops again after you ovulate ? thanks hun
Joeve~ I'm sorry for your BFN hun, sending you some huge cyber hugs. In saying that it's never over till AF arrives darl maybe you have just tested a little early FX.
Minnie~ Some ladies Never get a +ive OPK when on Clomid either darl. And I agree with what Melster said you have to test at least twice a day or you can miss the surge, when I got my +ive it would only last a few hours then be faded again. And I am nearly 100% sure that when you O your cervix should be high and open to let the swimmers do thier job and catch that egg. Hope that is helpful darl. I will google it and see what info I can find for you.
AFM~ No O as yet and today is CD23 for me.......had creamy CM yesterday but today I have a little bit of EWCM. So I have no idea what's going on with me, past the point of analising it all and not really concerned one way or the other any more. To tired to keep putting so much effort into negative results all the time. Think I'm having a who really cares day to day.....lol....not stressed not upset in any way at all just not caring at all about TTC this month.
Afternoon Ladies.....
Joeve - good description of CM! I find the best way to be sure is to get some between your finger & thumb (gross I know) & it is really strong & stretchy then that is the good stuff & I would start my bd fest.
Matthew's Mum - hope you time it just right this month!
Mum@Romone - how frustrating with the -ve opk's. I fin it even differs between brands. My first lot of internet opks got a really strong line but one's I have used since never seem to give me a really dark line. Probably missing the surge also. Whay does it have to be so hard?????
MummyDeb - welcome, sorry for your loss & hoping you realise your dream again soon!
Clairesmummy - sorry you are having a blah day - they happen though don't they? Hope you get some positive signs too that O is happening & that the stars align & that this is your month!!
afm.....cycle day 7 so things step up near the end of the week/ early next week. Hope I get my mojo back before then as it's a bit lack lustre at the moment :(
Anyway, a big hi to everyone else & good luck to ALL! BBL.......
minnie...yeah unfortunately i think all those things can effect the tests...yeah im a cervix feeler (LOL LOL that sounds so funny and so gross at the same time) when you're cervix is out of you're reach or right at the end of you're finger tip, i would say o is very near..also if you have CM and its wet...I found it was really low after period and then would slowly rise up and then eventually when it was high and open thats when o was about to occur or has occured..Yeah its starts to drop after o....good luck darl..i hope you catch that eggie....Im feeling pretty crappy at the moment...i have a real bad cold and i feel like poo. My appointment is the following friday
Clairesmummy...sorry you're having a blah day today..
Joeve...sorry about BFN
Mummyoftwo...good luck getting you're mojo back
ATM........well i feel like i am dying...so wish i could take something for this cold...so i am feeling sorry for myself at the mo....
