Hi ladies! Do Internet cheapie tests give evap lines? I took a test about 2 hours ago and it was bfn, took a shower and looked at it again, maybe an hour had passed, and could see the faintest of a line. I really have to tilt it in a million directions to see it so I'm not sure what to think. Advice please

Could be..I'm one of the rare women who does not use OPK because of the Clomid and Trigger. My RE/FS saya that they will be inaccurate. Let me rephrase that, I was told not use them but I use them anyway..lol but he is right. I got a positive opk CD9 we triggered on cd10 and IUI cd11 and today is CD 14 and still positive opk and again, being the annoying patient that I am I asked "so Ovridel gaurantees ovualtion right? Becaus I am still getting postive OPK's 6 days post trigger and again they told me "stop using OPK's!"

Its all so confusing and exciting!

I know it's hard, but five minutes after taking the test if the line isn't there, toss it and do not look at it again! It's torture, but those tests are only accurate in their alotted time frame for a reason. Most tests over time with show a shadowed area where a line would be. It could be a good sign but could also be nothing. Wait and take another tomorrow or the next day and I wish you the best of luck it shows in the first minute

Help!! (Drama Queen)

I have white creamy cm on my underwear! WTH? I thought that only happens when you ovulate? Like I said, earlier I have been having little pains on my right side. There is no way I am ovualting right? I mean I did the trigger on Thursday...what if my Dr is all wrong!

I am seriously thinking about leaving work and going home to make my husband DTD ugh... This is crazy!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Never2late- it's fine, creamy white is normal post o. I would get it for the whole week after o then more clear like before AF. Everyone is diff but I'd say it's normal.

Thank you. I just don't have much time. Every month counts and the fact that I had 5 follicles 17mm and up on CD8 freaked me out. IUI on CD10 just seems so early, but I saw the follicles with my own eyes and my Dr has quite the track record for success. ugh this TWW

Thank you for responding so quickly. I'm going nuts.

No worries. If you really want to see what happens in there look up 'beautiful cervix project'. But be warned its pictures of each day, including menstruation. You get whitish/cloudy stuff a lot more in a cycle than you'd think.
I understand the going crazy thing, but hey, you can BD anyways later just for fun I'm sure DH won't mind

just a quick question, has anyone try tried the preseed lub while on clomid?
and was everyone/anyones breast tender or b4 O? If so how long b4 u O or after? I havent got any tender breast, just nausea more in evening but on/off through out day, and I get the O pains this month and mostly on left but some on right, but they arent to bad!..... and still - on opk! I know its only cd14

I use preseed and love it! And it hasn't happened to me before this cycle, but this time my bbs were sore before o. Now after o I just have slightly sensitive nipples.

 

[GalvanBaby]

My BBs never hurt just sore nipples after O. And nausea; OMG it was horrible after O.

 

[usmcwife78]

Im very nausea at night, yesterday it was on and off through out day, day b4 that on and off and bad at night, today i was fine and then now that its evening its its back and its worse. Its not like I did much of anything 2day but be lazy,didnt have much O pain felt little something here nd there, but not painful. Both opk test today was -.
i dont even wanna eat im so nausea, and of corse little hot flashes here and there,not as bad as the other day. I keep getting very very tired during the day and need like even a 20 min nap.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

ok guys i know i said i wasnt opking, but ive done the odd one here n there (not enough to catch a surge like every 2nd day) on the weekend i had a medium dark one (but not pos) i didnt think much of it as doc said with pcos they werent reliable id always get a faint line but im wondering if there was something there b4 and now theres hardly a line at all i have to stare hard to see it, do u thin that means i did o from clomid? and thats y im not getting a line cos cos my bodys no longer trying to ov?

@jennahlou, I was first seen by my doctor and she ordered some blood tests for me and said that I could be given something to make me ovulate. After getting my results she said that everything looked normal but still referred me to the reproductive medicine unit at the hospital. They asked me to do a few more blood tests and also a transvaginal scan and a HSG. After these, she prescribed that I should start taking clomid, this is my first cycle and it is fully monitored. I think it is better to get referred as your GP does not have the facilities to monitor you while you are taking clomid.

If you want to have a more detailed idea of how it works, you can read my ttc blog ( it's in my signature) I started writing it once I got referred.

All the best with your ttc'ing
