Hello, im new to this so bare with me, im still learning the lingo (thanks wobbles) Depending on what site I look at yesterday or today should be my ovulation day (my cycle is 27 days give or take a day or two some months) so today is the 11th day. yesterday was negative so fingers crossed today im going to wait untill around 2pm though, I bought around a pack of 10 ovulation tests thinking it would be plenty (how naive but 1 month in and i find im ordering a lot more i really did think once I worked out my cycle I would only need 1 a month, 2 the most) well I can honestly say ive learnt a lot and still learning I hope to speak you soon as its a good feeling to know theres others in the same boat as me (not in a nasty way just in a moral support way) speak soon XXX
My cycles are 28 days & I seemed to always O on day 13 Are you cooking your wee before testing? & not testing first thing < a mistake I made lol What about charting - You mentioned you chart? How does that pan out for you? x
Hi Lollipop Good luck TTC. I got a pack of 50 OPKs from this place https://www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk/acatalog/50_strip_Carton_Ovulation_Tests.html I think they lasted me around 6 months. The price of these things in the shops is scandalous! Have you thought about going to see your GP?
The Ovulation tests never worked for me before (clearblue), but I have ordered some off Wobs and giving them ago again in the hope they DOO work this time round!
Hi all I havent seen the Dr I dont know why Its like I dont want to admit theres anything wrong just yet but im going to try the ovulation test for another 3 months ( 6 months total) and then I will rethink I chart my cycle, i havent been recording tempreture, just the cycle itself and symptoms I get it seems to be quite regular but Im going to do it properly one of these online things that others use in another thread I read (ooh im a poet) And Wobble thats a brilliant price! better then I can find on ebay I think I might just take you up on that, how much delivery? Thanks all XXX
Some people ovlulate earleir or later than they think, charting and opks are the best way to discover this. Im still trying to figure out of and when i ovulate but unfortunatley my pcos can interfere with the results of an opk.
Arcanegirl how long have you been trying for? and a personal question I hope you dont mind, how long ago were you diagnosed with pcos? and should I really try cooking my wee? I havent been doing that but I do wait untill afternoon to test (even though its agony waiting)
Well you don't want your sample too diluted basically so just try & drink as less as you can until then type thing
ha ha I see, and theres me worrying how im going to cook it before my partner comes home and catches me stiring it ha ha and i was worried about the smell (puts the big pot away ) Pee pot chicken casserole anyone?
I think you may benefit charting temps tbh It can appear quite frustrating at the start but if you go with the flow you'll be fine & theres a good handful of us here who will be able to help along the way x
I have been thinking of starting the temp chart, I will have to look it up not sure just yet what to do, think i will get the thermometre on ebay today get everything i need to begin next cycle, does it matter when in the cycle you start?
