Morning ladies so ole faithful (AF) got me this morning. Smh lol I swear this is crazy. I've never tried the clearblue monitor cause they are so expensive. I've always stuck to the smiley opks. I may give it a try if this cycle is a bust. From doing the opk and temping I've found that I usually get my solid smiley 24-36 hours before I ovulate (depending on when I test). With the clearblue smiley the solid face stays there for 48hrs which is a really long time when you want to confirm ovulation. So when I get my solid which is usually on cd 12 early am I see a temp spike either the next morning or the cd 14, but usually cd 13. It took me a while to get the smileys figured out for me, but once I did I found out that with EWCM on CD 10 it will be blank face CD 11 flashing smiley late CD 11 SOLID SMILEY CD12 SOLID SMILEY CD13 early morning SOLID SMILEY, tested afternoon CD13 and blank smiley. So I never go by SMILEY on CD 13 cause it'll be too late.
Mooncups are menstrual cups. We have something similar here called DivaCups and InsteadCups. I've heard of some people using them to keep the sperm closer to the cervix. I use them for menstrual purpose and I actually like them. I tried them in the tww twice to no avail. I think that I did more keeping the sperm out than in. I was just learning to use it as well. I don't think I'll be doing it again though.
I can't wait to tell you guys how my HSG and DH SA goes. I hope my doctor will let us do it next Monday instead of Friday.
I hope that at least one of you ladies get a BFP for us this cycle.
