Thanks Katteh!! Today ive found that to be true also : )
Thank you SO much for your replies girls!!!! I am ecstatic right now bcos I got my smiley face this morning!!!!! You'd think it was a BFP I got considering how excited & relieved I am!!!!
So I did an OPK yesterday at 11am & 5pm. Both negative. I've done one this morning at 10.40 & I've got my smiley face!! Yay!! After 2 months of messed up cycles & missing my Ov by days (could see it looking back at my temp bit that didn't exactly help) I am so happy to see that smiley face.
I've also read that u shouldn't use FMU. And in the past when using Internet cheapies I always did them later in the day.
Today I was going to test twice again. I decided that if the instructions for the Clearblue OPKS said FMU was ok then maybe I should trust that. I figured these products must undergo rigorous testing for them to state this... But I didn't trust it enough to ONLY use FMU.
So am happy to report back that FMU did work. Mind you, I'm a nurse & a shift worker too pinksparkles, so I actually didn't do my FMU till 10.40 as I went to bed very late which is normal for me.
Sayinhappy you answered a question I've had for a while- is there a time of day that Ov happens. So knowing ur FS says b/w 10-2pm is helpful. It does kind of make sense to me that it would happen not at an exact time but a 'period' of time. Our bodies are kind of controlled by a circadian rhythm which controls all this kind of stuff, if ur interested I've cut & pasted some info below (the nurse in me is a bit of a nerd & I like to know why everything happens!)
"Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, responding primarily to light and darkness in an organisms environment. Circadian rhythms can change sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, body temperature and other important bodily functions".
Anyway... Am just happy I can start BDing finally! Such a relief.
Ps. Pinksparkles am really sorry for your loss. I can only imagine wot you've been thru. Good luck with your journey x
