The Clearblue Trial Ladies!

[Fezzle]

I got used to it and had a system! The only issue I had was that our fridge isn't very big and everytime it was a bit full, especially if OH couldn't find something he wanted immediately he'd start whinging about the wee container.

 

[Missy.]

Yes I had thought that might be a problem. We have a pretty small fridge too. Don't think OH is too happy about storing pee in there but I keep reminding him that it will all be stored away securely so no pee will be leaking out or anything

 

[Fezzle]

Yep, it's definitely secure in there!

I was happy with the sticks themselves. I've had a positive OPK (solid smiley) every cycle of the trial that seems accurate and they're the only positives I've had since starting TTC!

 

[Missy.]

That's good to hear. I'm quite looking forward to trying out the sticks, I've never used them before. I usually just use cheap OPKs off ebay.

So cycle day 16 and I've had 3 days of flashy smileys!!! I NEED to see this none flashing one. It's driving me nuts lol! Is it possible to not have a peak smiley but still ovulate?! I'm charting too so will soon see I guess??

 

[Jim_bear]

Also a bit TMI but my ewcm has completely disappeared not feeling positive about this cycle!
Does anyone else not get any ewcm? I usualy get loads every month but I've noticed the past 3 months I've had little or none... ��

 

[Missy.]

Hi jim_bear, I don't actually get much EWCM. It's usually just watery until the day I ovulate. Then I only have a small amount that stays up by my cervix. I wouldn't even know it's there if I didn't check my cervical position.

 

[Jim_bear]

Thanks missy. I think I over analyse everything! We lost a little bean back in March and I had a d&c. I caught straight away that time so now it's taking longer (we started trying again in sept) I'm like what's going on!!? Haha

 

[mytimewillcum]

Hi I have a question! I am also on the trial! ... do u start the opk's on cycle day one or do you start them based on your cycle length?
(I.e if I was to have a 30 day cycle, I'd start testing on cycle day 10?)

 

[mamadonna]

I just started them according to cycle length, I had no flashies an early peak then 3 days later another peak??

 

[Fezzle]

I don't usually have EWCM even though I get solid smileys- just more watery cm.

I had flashing smileys for 10 & 11 days before my solid my first two cycles! That was with PCOS before Clomid though. This cycle with Clomid I only had three days of flashing ones before the solid, and got it on CD15 (instead of CDS 23 & 24 like before!).

My cycles have been irregular so I've started around CD10

 

[Missy.]

Jim_bear - I'm sorry about your loss Fingers crossed for a lovely little rainbow bean soon x

Mytimewillcum - my cycles are usually around 33/34 days long. I start using OPKs on CD14, I usually ov on CD24/25.

 

[Fezzle]

I got a BFP this morning! This is my last cycle on the trial, so need to read what to do now. I wouldn't let myself read that bit before!

 

[Peggy80]

Congratulations!!

I think it involves a lot more pee in the fridge?

 

[mamadonna]

Omg massive congratulations!!!!

 

[Fezzle]

Yes-apparently up to day 60! OH says no way!

 

[Missy.]

Congratulations Fezzle! I got my BFP this morning too so won't be starting the trial after all!

 

[Fezzle]

Congrats!

 

[mamadonna]

[Fezzle]

Sorry about af, mamadonna!
