Ok....I think I was looking at the wrong thing. Ugh! Sorry! I'm terrible at line spotting too unfortunately. When are you planning to test again?
 
Eek.. Sending you extra :dust: and looking forward to some hopeful line porn :haha:
 
Good luck, I'll anxiously be awaiting your new text results on Tuesday! When I enlarge it I do think I see something faintly there, I was just stupidly looking at the wrong thing at first. But FX that it really is there and that it keeps getting darker!
 
Thanks girls.

Love your picture mrs right.

On the opk frustrations, I tried two types of IC this month. One showed 3 days of positives, the other only 1 day and didn't show as dark as control. I tested morning and evening. We came to the conclusion that one was just more sensitive than the other. Either way it still showed a peak at the right time. You do get lh surges before and after AF though sometimes, so maybe that accounts for the odd timings? Also if they are really sensitive, you will see lines right through the month. I did a couple of months back. I believe digis measure estrogen too though don't they?
 
Baby love, something is catching my eye on your pic. Fingers crossed.

I got positive lines on 6dpo and 11dpo this month and AF arrived right on time, so I no longer trust ICs. Bad mean tests, lol.
 
Tui - I keep meaning to start using opks but then the next cycle comes again and I haven't ordered them again :haha:
How are you finding temping? I've found it surprisingly easy.. Thankfully. :haha:
What's your estimated test date? I'm trying to hold out for the last day of the month.. We shall see. :dust:
 
This is only my second month using opks but I was really bad the first month with testing at the same time every day so really this is my first proper month with opks. I used frer and got a pretty clear result. Don't know what other brands are like!
 
mint- i use wondofos- i have found them to be good for opks but have had some nasty evaps on them for hcg testing

Seem to be fine with opks, but they do vary in sensitivity. Temping is a pain but at least you definitely know you can stop bd. Usually sore and fed up with dtd when crosshairs appear :haha:

Not sure when I'll test as O varies between cd11 and cd14. Will try and hold out to 10dpo, which will be right at the end of the month somewhere.
 
Looks like you are going to O about the same time canadabear. Yay! Is it a pain having long cycles?
 
Oh, I didn't realize the digitals measure estrogen too, that's awesome if that's the case! Oh man, that sucks on the positives with AF then arriving. Are you sure it wasn't a true positive that ended up being a chemical pregnancy?

Good to know on those tests Bug, thanks! Also good to know on the frer tests Mrs, thanks!
 
Thanks Bug.

Tui - only some digis also measure estrogen - like the advanced CB digis - also called dual or duo something in UK I believe... I did the FR digis last month and I believe they only measured LH.

Baby love - I don't see anything but I am on mobile and not great at squinters - like turtle I looked at the wrong thing at first and thought I saw an obvious line but it is just where the test connects to the strip I think... Fx for you there is something there and it gets darker!!

Mrs.Right - did you do the fr sticks or digis?

Canadabear - I am finding temping pretty easy as well but I bet it would be tough when TTC #2+! Does your lo not wake you at odd hours?

It wasn't bad at all when not TTC but these past 4 months have been stressful. Feels like I only really get any testing time every second month unless I test early. Frustrating. I think I might be O'ing earlier than last cycle.. So here's hoping things go well.
Mint testing with a toddler can be interesting.. But now when ds wakes up and comes in to our room he makes sure I get the thermometer before he starts with his 'buba' (breast feed) :haha: couldn't imagine trying to temp vaginally though :blush: :haha:

It's possible I suppose but I doubt it as AF arrived on time, and I had negative tests in between the positives !

I've been using sticks

Not sure if the long cycle question was directed at me but I'm gonna answer it anyway! I don't mind my 32 or 33 day cycle but the 42 day ones were certainly very annoying!
It's the regularity that matters most to me though, if they're all the same I can predict what's going on. It's when they're all over the place that's the worst!
 
Having short cycles can be worrying too. I have a good luteal phase of 12-13 days but sometimes worry that ovulating a bit early gives me good enough eggs? Guess they pop out when they are ready though.

I completely agree with you!! I have a pretty regular long cycle.. I almost always get AF exactly one month to the last day of previous AF.. But sometimes I have these crazy long cycles! Didn't even get AF in Feb but then it came early in march and was really short.. Then on time but lasted 3 days longer than usual in April :wacko: looks like it is back on track now though. Sending :dust:your way!!
