so did i. which is why i coulnd't understand why peeps were peeing on a stick if not testing for pregancy.

i didn't know you pee'd on a stick for a fertility monitor thingy.

you can tell i've so much still to learn.

Well you can pee on Ovualtion Tests to see when your ovulating, and the fertility monitor is similar but electronic and very cool

fanta - what result did you get when you were 8dpo? I'll be that tomorrow and I'm itching to test!

BFN. Don't waste a test if you don't have loads! Tested at 10dpo not expecting anything different. If you want a laugh, read page 11 onwards on this thread!

Thanks QQ. What about epo?

I take 3000mg of EPO from CD1 until OV, none after OV though. I also drink 200ml grapefruit juice during the same period. But the thing that has made the most difference to my CM is the Robitussen cough medicine!

Having been on these forums for so long, it's hard not to use them to my DH and the doctor (I wonder if he knows what AF is?):D

I always thought it stood for Adult Friend, because I couldn't for the life of me figure out anything else it could mean. Even now when I read posts I read it as Adult Friend, not Aunt Flo :rotfl::rotfl:

ooh interesting fanta. that sounds worth a shot! do u get it in Boots? x

Pre seed you can buy on Amazon and you use an applicator to apply it. Conceive Plus you can buy at Boots or on Amazon and use like regular lube.


Been shopping with a friend tonight who just had a baby a few months ago, so we have spent a lot of time in baby related shops

Spot on Puzzbubs but you'd be a martyr not to test sooner! I did at 8 and 10 dpo! My OV did start later when I first started monitoring but I think it was day 15 by the time I got PG. It just depends on your body.
Getting in to knicker checking for discharge (sorry TMI) is a good way of knowing when your body is ovulating and feeling the pains that come with it too....usually down one side of the tummy area.

Joining this is a good idea but ask one of the ladies on here to recommend you then you both get VIP membership free for a time. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ Good luck!

thank you for this, you ladies are teching me lots just got to wait for artificial af now.

I am not sure if i can let myself go on ff, i tend to get a little obsessive so dont want to get too hooked right at the start in case it takes us a long time.

you sound like me, i can also get very obsessive about things and ttc isn't proving any different, but i'm excited about it. driving the oh a bit mad though, but he understands, luckily

Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a nice eve.

Thanks QQ and WW for the benefit of your knowledge. WW I've got liquid epo (I couldn't face another tablet!) - sorry to be a thicky but do you know how much I should take?

So . . . . Am I right? Do I take epo(dose tbc) and grapefruit juice from cd1 and the start using preseed approx 5 days pre ov but stop all of it as from ov?

With opks - when (and if) I get a positive is that because ov is imminent? Is that the time to stop everything?

Sorry, I've been out the loop for a while so I'm having to remind myself and play catch up.

If I don't get a pos on opks is there anything I can do to help it along?

Anyway, enough about me. Where are we at with the testing list this month? Who's next??

Thinking of you GG, it must be awful stuck in maybe tlp limbo.

Sounds promising Jen!! Is it appropriately timed for imp? Fingers crossed. Out of interest how much is spotting?
