hi to all the 'guests' viewing this thread... wow there are 9 of you! Hope you are all having a great day

Oh, my bad - they must be so disappointed that they googled 69ers and got this. Or maybe they googled the right way to gift your mum with porn. Either way.

Pammy - I only ended up have 4 cycles of using OPKs. 3 cycles I got dark positives, 2 of them I got BFPs, with one also being confirmed with a digi. The one cycle I didn't get a dark positive was straight after my miscarriage - I wasn't trying that month but FF still confirmed I O'd.

One of the explanations I've found is that the surge the OPK is detecting can be very short - like only lasts for a few hours. So even if you're testing twice a day, you might only catch the start/end of it.

I also think different brands have different "darknesses". I only used the one brand, but funny enough I got a smiley face on the digi when I didn't think it was dark enough for the IC OPK to be positive.

From reading lots of other people's stories, it seems that people who have PCOS find it hard to use OPKs and that's because they often get lots of positives throughout the month - even when they're not actually about to O.

Sorry for the novel!

Hi Ginny, with the digi did you get two days with a smily face?

Discover one I found that’s the only one that works for me. I also used the clear blue digi and even tho discover was showing dark lines the digi only gave me one smiley face?

My digi was dodgy!! But I had around both days!!

Lisa - yep I got smiley faces 2 days in a row... this is what I got:

CD 12:
IC = negative (close to being positive though)
Digi = smiley face

CD13:
IC = positive
Digi = smiley face

CD14:
IC = positive
Digi = negative

FF gave me cross hairs for CD14, but I used the digis as my positives on it.

Also, I found the digis a bit hard to use. You have to follow the instructions exactly otherwise they don't work. I wasted 3 sticks because I misread them slightly!

 

[Pammy31]

that sucks... i have tonnes of ic opks i will use them up.

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Good afternoon ladies! It has taken me literally an hour to sit here and go through all of this. wow. you have been very talkative today! Sorry if my post is a bit long winded, didn't think I'd wanna comment on so much! haha

So turns out there was no need to 'help' DH this morning... I got there to drop off the sample for him and they were like 'who told you to bring it here this early?" I said the Dr. told me I don't have to make a time, I just have to drop it off ASAP after it's been collected (made it ther in under 10 mins - nice!) and they were like 'oh, well sorry, but the courier doesn't start work for an hour, so the results won't be very good, so you'll have to bring in a new sample.' SOOOO annoying! now back to the depriving DH (and me for that matter as I got nothing out of this morning! haha) and we have to start work late to get the sample there at the right time! GGRRR DH joked this morning saying 'mmm do you think they need another one?!' haha I bet he didn't think he'd need to do that again this soon!!

number 2 - Yay! welcome to the TWW officially. Hope it flies by for you and you are our next BFP after the girls already waiting!! - ssoooo funny about your nan and the 69... hahahaha

LLPM - I know what you mean about taking ages... I said to DH that I hope his SIL gets pregnant at the same time as me so we can have babies together (her 2nd) ...he number 2 is now 4 months old!! With your weird period, maybe it's that's just cos of your funny cycle last time?! Maybe do a test just in case, cos i hear nose bleeds are a symptom of pregnancy too...so maybe test in case...

Melainey - I would STRONGLY suggest that if your DH doesn't drink coffee already, NOT to push it on him...imagine how he would be then... ADHD + CAFFEINE = WHOA!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha Sounds like you are really a fan of those removable shower heads! haha I have to say the running water of the bath tap is not bad either! hahaha I'm a little flushed 'saying that out loud'. hehehe I started my EPO yesterday, I take 3 capsules a day (1000mg ea) with food, as directed on the back of the container. Haven't had any other advice so i'm sticking to that.

Rosie - I have read 50 shades... DH got RAPED .... a lot.... lol poor guy. I'm reading the third atm, but having trouble getting back into it, cos I spend all my time on here with you ladies! haha BTW - LOVE the twin names!! hahaha (even though I'm still team singleton) lol.....aannnddd you crack me up...harry balls... hahahhaaha

Hey Ginny! great to see you back! Hope you're better now and that the MS stays very very mild!!

Angel - I'm starting to get SOOOOO excited for you!!! YAY!! I think you should test very soon! I'm very impatient, I don't think I can wait til friday! hahaha loving your additional names for 2mums tribe! haha

Newbie - you crack me up! haha you and your old age!

2mums - I feel exactly the same about 'the next big thing' I refuse to watch twilight, wont read harry potter, don't have facebook etc...i like to go against trends... I just so happened to start reading the book before I knew it was the next big thing, and Im glad I did as I wouldn't have read it otherwise, and I reallyt enjoyed it! hahahaha about your continuous sex life. sounds EPIC!!! haha

Pammy - I still temp vaginally when on AF. only the tip needs to go in, and it's fine. Plus if it's not exactly accurate, AF time is probably the least significant as you know where you're at in your cycle. And 2 mums never got positive POKs and she;s up the duff now! haha

 

[Melainey]

Mum2Q - hahahaha oh I know could you imagine what I would be setting myself up for! It would be like christ on a bike.... (not really I really just wanted to say that hahahahah) (not meant to offend anybody

Yeah I was(am) a major fan of the movable ones but they don't have them ANYWHERE in Australia Gosh I will be havin a grand aul time when I get back to my mothers house in Ireland They won't see my at all ...

Yeah I don't like to follow the norm either normally but facebook does have me sucked in.. and it is great for keeping in contact when you move away from home

THAT IS SOOOOOO ANNOYING about the sample! I would have been soooooo pissed off at them hey! I have found that a lot of health care professionals over here are very mean over here and just don't give a F**k haha!! I'm sure you're different Rosie
When I was having my M/c they mucked me around so much and kept saying you will have to wait another week and then again you will have to wait another week... now anybody that has had a m/c knows how hormonal you get as you are sad to be having it in the forst place - I let them have it swore blind I wouldn't go back but DH made me cause they thought I was ectopic... haha Bloody went off on a tangent now I can't remember where I was at.... Hmmmmmmmm

[Newbie32]

[Pauls_angel]

I'm back!!! Eating a yummy lasagne with veges for dinner - yum yum! And yay still no AF! DH wants me to poas tomorrow so you may not have to wait too long mum2q wouldn't want to make anyone impatient!

 

[SJayne22]

Morning guys! Temp is back up again today and no sign of AF which should have been today. Still though which makes me sad! Still don't feel right though! Back at work but cannot concentrate to save my life! Vision is blurry today and struggling to have a hot chocolate for breakfast! Angel, your chart and symptoms sound so amazing!!! Just found out that a woman I work with is 5 months pregnant. I thought she was ages ago but you never can say just incase and turns out everybody new but me! Hope its something in the water!!!!

Thanks Ginny. Ok will try again this month see how I go. I will have to make sure DH is doing it right because I just pee in a cup & he times it.
