Good luck with your opks denyse. Come ooooooon dark lines!

 

[DenyseGiguere]

Thanks. Got another negative today? Based on my calendar I should ovulate in 2 days...I'm hoping I'm not too late

It's officially clomid time!
Woohoo.

It's recommended you opk 2-3x a day as the surge can only last a few hours so you could miss it.
Personally I'm not a fan of opks at all! If you have regular cycles just dtd regularly over the expected fertile time. Eg 28 day cycle: dtd every 2nd day from 10-18.

This is my OPK from tonight - is it just me or is it positive? I'm still new to this.

not quite positive yet hon, the test line usually will be very dark purple like the control line.

this was my one and only positive ovulation test ive ever had if you want to compare color.. i got pregnant with my now 1 year old girl that cycle.
sorry if the photo is huge :/

as for me, im still not ovulating. the met seems to be at the correct dosage now 1500 mgs im not sure if my stomach could handle a higher dosage...

its CD 16 and still no pos OPK. i will keep trying until CD 20 and then ill probably give up.

i guess its jjust a waiting game for me now until i start clomid in december..

ETA- i have lost 5 pounds so far.. so i guess thats a good outcome. weight seems to be staying off

Thanks, that's what I thought too. Oh well, it's still early for me. Not giving up yet!

Thanks for sharing

Do you normally get regular AF? And they do say it can take up to 6 months for the metformin to start working

 

[Bellybump89]

Not regular at all. :/ cycles vary from 28-40 days it was more like 60 days but they seem to be calming down from all the vitex I previously took. Hoping the metformin will make them 30 days. I'm sort of half heartedly into this because i feel like I won't ovulate without the clomid but we are still DTD anyway.

 

[hopefulfor1st]

I am not sure wether to opk or not. I am not a fan of it but in saying that I've never religiously done it every day or got a positive

 

[DenyseGiguere]

I took another one this morning, the second line is a little darker but still not as dark as the control line

 

[Katerz]

Sounds like it's progressing denyse.

Being back at work sucks! I don't have my own desk yet which is really peeing me off...they've known my return date for nearly 2 months!! I've also lost a lot of important and helpful documents too aghhhhhhhhhh!

:/ I hate when work places pull that crap. It seems like they want to make things as difficult as possible for you! lol I hope that things get better for you as the weeks progress

 

[DenyseGiguere]

Haha, I feel like such a dummy. Since this is my first time using OPK's I thought they worked the same as pregnancy tests and you were supposed to use FMU....apparently you're not.

 

[Bellybump89]

It's best to test around 10 am then 6pm

Yep, read that now

 

[DenyseGiguere]

I think I might have already ovulated. I had EWCM for 3-4 days but now I'm completely dry. That's what I'm hoping anyway. I have one test left, I might use it this afternoon.
