Calculates when you're most likely to see a BFP. It keeps me from going testing crazy.

I'm trying to keep myself sand as we speak. I had a darker OPK yesterday and this morning it went back light. I hope it's just being weird but I have know idea when or if I O'd this cycle.

FX crossed for you!! You're not butting in. Please keep us updated!

Aww thanks so much! That calculator was JUST what I needed. It takes your last 6 or so cycles and calculates the average length. For me that is 27 days. It says my period is due next Thurs. Good to know! According to this I am 6dpo.

I did it with FMU (tmi) one when warm second with same sample when room temp)(even though it says you aint meant to lol and it was the same light colour as the control line) I was experimenting.. Then at 12:30ish (uk time) I re-tested and the positive line was even darker than control line.). And the few days before this where all lighter so I put them down as negative. I have taken photo I'll post it on hear if you wanna see.

I did it from my computer. I'm feeling a little better. I read that I should O 14 days after my last cycle ended. That would be cd18 so I have a few more days.

@cutieq

I think I have done it..

Ovulation should occur any time from when you get a positive to 24-48hr after so do the BD every day. X. Don't stress you gotta relax or try to.. X.

 

[cutieq]

Nice lines!!! I plan to test a few more days. We have BD everyday (sometimes I think it's too much) but we don't do it with ttc in mind, we just like to lol

I just need some confirmation that I'm ovulating.

Eating pineapple, and specifically pineapple core, to aid implantation is a widespread theory on the internet and is also prescribed by natural and Chinese medicine practitioners. Unfortunately there is not yet any clinical evidence that pineapple helps implantation.

Pineapple core contains an enzyme called Bromelain that reduces inflammation in the body, including in the uterus. It is also a mild blood thinner which some believe can aid in implantation. Note that many doctors prescribe baby aspirin, a blood thinner, to help with implantation, but this dose is controlled.

It is thought that bromelain in large doses can cause uterine contractions and interfere with implantation of an embryo -- although clinical evidence in this area is lacking too. Some cultures even use pineapple to induce miscarriage or start labor.

There is really no concrete evidence for or against pineapple, but there are many positive anecdotes on the internet about it.
First talk to your doctor and acupuncturist/herbalist about it
If you are taking baby aspirin, a blood thinner, remember that pineapple is also a mild blood thinner and too much could lead to miscarriage. Ask your doctor before taking both.
Don’t start eating pineapple until after ovulation as it can actually inhibit pregnancy if taken too early as the acidity of pineapple can effect cervical mucous
Cut up a whole pineapple, cut the core into 5 pieces and eat once piece daily starting the day after ovulation/IUI/IVF transfer
If you don’t have a fresh core, eat one cup of pineapple meat a day once a day starting the day after ovulation/IUI/IVF transfer.
Canned pineapple has been heated which destroys the Bromelain so you have to eat fresh pineapple
Stop eating pineapple after a positive pregnancy test

Hello everyone! I'm currently 3DPO.. let the waiting begin! Really trying not to symptom spot this time around. AF is due next saturday - the 17th. I"m going to try and not test until that morning - if this cycle is like my others i will already start spotting the day before. I've been BD every other day, at least! Sometimes more. SO I think i have the best chance possible. Just hoping something happened this time around

baby dust to everyone!!
