hi ladies!

good to see a few of you in tww can't wait to see some BFPs!

 

[Melainey]

Morning Ginny How are you today???

 

[Abby27]

Hi! lovely to meet you all! may i ask a lengthy OPK question?

 

[Melainey]

You can ask anything you would like on this thread (there is no such thing as TMI on this thread haha so the more gross the better hehehe )

 

[Abby27]

Ok so i posted this when i first signed up, but no advice as yet, so sorry if you have read it...and sorry for the length
My first cycle i started using the clear blue OPK, but because i didnt know when i ovulated i burned through the tests quite quickly (something of a POAS addict doesnt help). So i moved to the cheaper Forelife. eventually got a positive from them so kept using them.
Last month i got a clear positive from forelife (test line very dark when compared with the control) and thought id test against the clear blue (same urine collection and all). it came back Negative! which had me confused, and somewhat emotional as i felt i had timed BD perfectly.
the next day i tested again, Forelife again clear positive and this day clear blue had a smiley face. So i figured ok, Forelife is just super sensitive and probably a three day surge catching on the way up etc. Clear Blue is easier to read but i could stick with the cheaper forelife. (I then stopped testing for that month)

This month i was just using forelife OPK. I seemed to ovulate a bit later than usual but got my clear test line darker than control last Monday (CD 18). Being a POAS addict i tested again on Tuesday, Wednesday...and still a positive test! so we BD the whole time (we are really quite tired now). After getting a positive again on Thursday i thought id go and buy a clear blue and it was negative. Friday, same again Forelife definite positive (test darker than control) Clear Blue Negative, Saturday, Sunday the same again and again. (I test in the afternoon at the same time each day)
So do i figure that i Ovulated last Monday-Tuesday when i first detected the surge or should i keep testing with Clear Blue? Im annoyed i didnt test against clear blue again once i got my positive using Forelife. SO i basically have no idea when i ovulated.

(Also my first month using preseed)

Has anyone else had this happen? I should be covered BD wise as we started BD ing almost every day/other day from CD 10-CD 22 (its now CD 25, normally a 30-35 cycle girl)

Sorry for the long explanation!

 

[ginny83]

yeah I'm actually feeling pretty good today!

My mum is minding DS for a couple of hours and I should be using the time to clean but I'm just lazing about instead.

Your chart is looking great Melainey - when are you planning on testing?

 

[ginny83]

Abby - since AF is due in around 10 days at the most anyway I wouldn't bother wasting anymore clearblues.

I used internet cheapie OPKs for a couple of cycles and would usually get around 2-3 days of positives. Then this last cycle I used a clear blues and got 2 day of positives with them that slightly didn't match up to the internet cheapies.

Maybe the forelife ones are too sensitive for your LH levels? You've obviously O'd at some point around then so if you are bding around every second day I wouldn't be worried about missing it

 

[Melainey]

Abby - I'm not too great with OPK's as I don't really use them.. Do you have PCOS??? Apparently if you have PCOS you can get multiple LH surges throughout your cycle but I'm not sure to be honest! Some of the other ladies will be able to help you though

Ginny - That's great that you are not feeling so sick today Also great that you have some alone time, Take a rest you deserve it I don't know to be honest when I am going to test! I want to wait until I am late but because I am not sure of my LP that is hard haha and the fact that I love POAS I may cave by 10DPO haha I have a heap of IC that are calling my name as I type hehehe!!

 

[Newbie32]

HI Abby

I havent used the clearbue opk's but I can tell you when i was using the First response ones they were really sensitive - and the first month i was using them i had a positive for 6 days in a row - and really really positive at that....I know you have said you arent temping this cycle, but i think its really hard to know exactly when you o without some other kind of a sign, whether its your CM (if you know the pattern for this) or your temp spike etc....

I know for me I generally o pretty quickly after +opk (like the same day or the next day) but for others it can be well before - but the whole many days of positive thing is very confusing! And im not sure if can just mean that your body takes a while before the LH leaves the body again after the surge?

It sounds like you are plenty covered for the though, I would trust your instinct on the o date hun xx

 

[lisamfr]

Hi Abby,

Are you testing more than once a day?

I use discover & clear blue digital OPK. I test twice a day morning and evening. I mostly use Discover as it cheaper & then if I get a really strong positive line I use clear blue digital. This time around I got three smiley faces on three days first time.

 

[Abby27]

Ok thanks heaps Ginny...We were all about the BD'ing! i was expecting to O on Friday...so got some BDing in from Wednesday...then when i didnt we just kept going (and if i O'd on Monday-Tuesday, then we BD Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)

Pammy (you asked on my first thread) my LP is around 12-14 days, it changes.

What i might do is just use the cheapies for the fade in and then when i get a positive switch to clear blue.

 

[Newbie32]

Oh girls...forgot to mention....went and had a chat with my boss today about the possibility of not leaving at the end of the year and was met with very positive result (ie promotion & new package instead) so thinking i have made the right choice...

Now just need to iron out the details and make sure i keep this whole TTC business REALLY on the down low!!!!

 

[ginny83]

Also from chart stalking lots of people's charts, unless they are having issues with multiple LH surges through out their cycle most people seem to O 1-3 days after they get a positive OPK, even if they get multiple positives in a row.

Sounds like a plan! I bought a fertility monitor to start using from next month (if required....) i figured this would take the guess work out of it - but actually am pretty lucky not to need to really guess cos opk's work for me, and i temp and always get a spike, and i know my cm..so not sure why i bought it other than fulfilling the ttc obsession that i seemed to have in previous months that has now magically disappeared!!!...go figure that logic??? BAHAHAHAHAHA

Mental old i am...

 

[ginny83]

Newbie - that's great news! How exciting for you and it's always nice to have something not ttc/baby related to look forward to!

 

[ginny83]

did you get a clear blue fertility monitor?
