Ovulation Predictor Kit - i think (i may have made up what it stands for :S )
Yeah it measures some hormone that has to be present to ovulate (I am very technical I know )
Have to piac every day from a certain day depending on cycle length and a second line should appear when you ovulate... the darker the line the nearer to ovulating you are...

The above information could be wrong but thats how I think it works...


But am excited at having a second line reappear this cycle as it means it could *fingers crossed* lead to a darker than control line test at some point next week when Im with my oh :j which would mean I actually have a realistic chance of getting pg

QQ – lots of maltesery goodness for you my love (I actually have a recipe for malteser cake somewhere!)

Doglover – A night on the sofa watching TV and eating takeaway is mine and ohs norm when we together (however he wont let me watch Xfactor as I get all big voiced and say the stuff in the style of the voice over man)


DebMc – Hope your weekend of work has gone well

Pinkpig – hows your opks going?

Feanor – how was your shopping day?

Mrsvic – sorry about the bfn but good luck at the doctors tomorrow

Jcr – implantation bleeding?

OPK testing is meant to be done at the same time each day but to be fair I cant wee on command and I don’t have a wee routine at all :S Im a have to go now kind of person – which means pregnancy could be a fun experience

haven't had a chance to read through all the replies, so hugs to anyone who needs them

the hubby and are are staying with my parents this weekend as we had a wedding to go to in my home town, typically my body decided to get ready to ov this weekend :mad: infact i think it may have happened this afternoon as this morning (tmi alert) my cervix was open and i had a small amount of ewcm, this afternoon closed and all gone!

we got some bd'ing in, strange in my parents house though felt really bad! :eek::rotfl:but i'm not hopeful as, apart from this morning i've had no ewcm, just really watery stuff, we used pre~seed, so maybe

to top all the wedding was carp as well. and i feel very ill when i'm ov'ing, almost to the point of puking :eek: how is that conducive to making a baby?!?!

does anyone else feel sad when you know you've ov'd? i felt quite tearful, even though it's only my first month trying.

rant over, i'm off to hide in a corner and hope my parents didn't hear us!

be nice but don't think so. just had another gloopy brown gunk( sorry tmi) really is like the end of a AF. so am thinking she might be visiting early. or perhaps it a clear out as normally i'd be on the pill so my body wouldn't be able to get rid mid cycle , if that makes sence. but all gone again now. Ah the joys of our monthly cycle,lol.

Feanor – how was your shopping day?

[/QUOTE]

Very good thank you! We braved IKEA and ordered all new bedroom furniture, so very successful. OH even managed to go round and not moan once. I was shocked! lol

CD 24 for me, and like I said earlier. Feeling fine. Although had abit of a melt down earlier at OH, but we were having a little argument, so I'm not sure if it was because I was genuinely upset or if it was hormone related! Only a few days until AF is due so I think its probably a sign that she is on her broom, heading at speed towards my door!

Little Angel - I know just what you mean about being sad around OV. I got really teary this past month when I knew we had missed it (well, we just didn't really get the timing right thats all). I can't help but feel a bit like, oh there goes another egg wasted! We have only been trying properly for one month also.

I am feeling a bit sad about it being November. As I had a MC earlier in the year and the due date was Nov 16th. Just seems so strange thats all. I am feeling ok about it, just a weird feeling. Sorry for rambling on!

feanor i can feel your pain. sending you big hug's. our angel went to heaven on the 4th of nov 02. It is always a hard time of year. i try not to think about it too much, as the time is healing my heart slowly. but at some point in the day i can't help but break down for a cry. it is only natural i think. i'll never forget her. but it will get easier.


((((((((big hugs ))))))))

Hi to any newbies, will catch up tomorrow, just popping in to say AF arrived today, not too down as just glad to see the back of that cycle! 88 days is far too long. 12 day LP though so I'm pleased with that. on to the next cycle catch up tomorrow x

Hope you're ok Feanor (((hugs)))

Phunkles - had a fainter control line today with an even fainter test line. Don't know if that means I'm approaching ov time or not, will see if they get fainter/darker tomorrow
