just keep an eye on them newmrs and post pictures and we'll help you judge

raven, you could go out for dinner or something?

this was at 3DPO rach so doubt it will have anything to do with pregnancy! i am SO looking forward to AF coming next week, tomorrow I am half way through my LP I have been feeling quite shit, I'm hoping that means I had a good ovulation

 

[NewMrs2011]

Thank you I'll maybe post a pic of last nights when I get home from work because its definitely one of the darkest I've had.

 

[raventtc]

thanks for the ideas ladies, i think we are just going to do dinner and remember our day and relationship ... go to some of the places we would always hang out at..and stuff like that.

Yes NewMrs post pic's we will help you out with the crazy ups and downs of opks...

 

[NewMrs2011]

Hey everyone

Didn't get a chance to post pics last night sorry. Ended up going out for dinner with dh which was a nice treat. Done another opk last night but there wasn't much of a line at all.

I feel like whatever was going on down there the last couple of days has stopped now. I think perhaps my body was gearing up to ovulate, but failed, because my chart definitely doesn't look like I o'd. Weird!

How is everyone else?

Seabean hope your ok, not seen you in a few days

 

[NewMrs2011]

Gee Whizz it's quiet in here today....where is everyone!?

Just noticed your chart Raven, it's looking really good! Fingers crossed for you

Ok, my OPKs I've managed to confuse myself even more (didn't think that would be possible!). I decided to order a different brand to see how they compared. They arrived yesterday so I have used both brands the last 3 times I've tested.

Firstly the ones if been using for a while:

These are from the last 6 days (CD18 - 23)

And these are the new tests, the top one is CD 22 and the other two are todays, CD23

Anybody any ideas

It looks like there getting darker, but not positive yet, do you always have so many days showing a light line?

 

[NewMrs2011]

It's hard to tell because this is my first proper cycle using them. I did before my last AF, but I wasn't doing them proper as I had a lot of spotting. Is it not normal to have so many days of faint lines?

I'm still lurking around this thread. Just wanted to say although some peoples opks get gradually darker, mine were like yours, and didn't do that. So dont worry. Mine were all over the place and would be generally light, then one day be noticeable darker, then the next be positive. So hang in there and just keep POAS.

 

[Diddums]

The one cycle I've ovulated on so far, back in jan lol, My opk went almost positive around cd16, then went neg, then i got a blaring positive on cd21 and ov on cd24. Hope this helps xxx

 

[mrsc81]

I only used opks for one cycle and then had my cbfm, was just curious if yours were always like that

 

[NewMrs2011]

Thanks Ladies! It's good to know it's not just me I'll def keep poas...I'm becoming obsessed

And Lisa...9 days!? omg that's CRAZY! was it not just last week I was surprised to see you only had 55 days to go lol. I hope you are well though, it's nice to still see you in here now and again. I'll probably still be here in 10 years time lol

I thought it was maybe just me it happened to but I Googled it and apparently it is common. If I had a £ for every medical or ttc related question I've ever googled I would probably be a millionaire by now

I posted in your journal NewMrs, all my ramblings and what i was really trying to say is, i know its hard but i think weight loss will really help you like it did for me as we have similar backgrounds.

 

[Diddums]

I agree. I've only just started my weight loss journey but after 8 months with no AF I really believe that losing 10% body weight has helped AF start. Hopefully I will ovulate in the next few weeks. But even if I don't getting AF naturally is a big deal for me xxx

 

[mrsc81]

Im off to bed, this is a late bedtime for me these days
Hope you all have a great weekend

No way!! You will have your BFP soon, and just continue to stalk this thread like I do.

I know, 9 days, eeeek! Though I'm thinking more like 15-20, which is fine. I'm feeling good thanks.

Sending lots of love and baby dust to all of you!!!

Thank you I have replied....I'll apologise now for the essay

You are doing amazingly well and you're another perfect example of how weight loss helps. If I could just get my head sorted and start losing weight I'm sure it would do wonders for me. Are you following a particular diet or are you just being sensible about what you eat? Good luck for o Even if it doesn't happen this cycle it's bound to happen soon with the positive changes to your body

hey ladies :wave: just stoping by to see how everyone is doing...

opk's are so confusing i get a lot of faint lines when i do them and then one day it will be a + mine didn't gradully change

yeap my chart is looking lovely but it seems to always look lovely and af always seems to show...since Fri i have been dealing with a slight headache...i think its a sinus thing cause it really hurts when i lay down -- yesterday i slept half the day really, well hope everyone is doing good!! and chat with you all later

 

[NewMrs2011]

Hi Raven - Happy Anniversary (sorry if it was yesterday!). Sorry to hear you've been bothered with a headache though. Are you going to test any time or will you just wait to see if AF arrives?

I done a green and blue OPK earlier.The green one wasn't much darker but I think the blue one is darker but not quite positive. It's strange they are so different though. Here's a pic of the blue ones:

I've not had any ewcm either which probably isn't a good sign.

 

[raventtc]

Thanks yes it was yesterday! the last opk in the picture looks good..what time do you take them? I took them around 2/3pm when i did it and if it looked close to + i took another one around 8...sometimes i get lots of ewcm before o (for a few days) and not exactly on o day.. and testing i am not testing early, i am going to just wait it out
