    I think it can vary because sperm can swim at different speeds depending on the surroundings. This link may help you. Or this one.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Just fished sticks out of bin :o On my peak, the left-hand line (turning my stick to be the same way your's are in the picture) is virtually gone, and the right-hand line is strong. Maybe yours will be tomorrow or the following day. *inserts confused smiley here*

    Awww thanks sexymouse, I appreciate you bin diving for me! :D

    Now I'm SUPER confused, because - if the sticks are turned my way - I've heard that the Estrogen line (right?) get's lighter as you get close to/on ovulation and the LH Line (Left?) gets darker.

    But you are saying yours your peak is similar to the one I got today, yesh?! And the one yesterday was similar to the one you get the day before your peak?

    As far as I understand it, your LH line gets darker the closer you get to ovulation, not the other way round. And your peak would be a really dark LH line, which none of those are 2b.

    Is this the first time you've used sticks?

    Yes the same as you had, but mine jumped to strong a lot quicker that's all.

    Pisceans are all about their feet, generally. They love having them rubbed. Its the body part that relates to pisceans, each sign has a body part.

    I'm Piscean and I LOVE my feet being rubbed. DW does it every night. My grandfather rubbed my Nana's feet every night too! <3

    Doesn't apply to me. I'm a piscean & hate my feet being rubbed - also hate being touched by OH's feet!

    Nope, 6 months, but embarrassingly the first proper time I've looked at them.

    I have PCOS so this could be the issue.

    2ba3c do you have any cheap opks you could use as a comparison?

    I did, and I got a TLP on a IC OPK on the 14th - the same as the CBFM - then nothing... but nothing when the CBFM surges yesterday.

    Confuing! And now I have weird very slight period pains.

    :( whats going on!!!!!

    Sorry if this is a little too nosey or it's already been discussed, but what's your CM like 2b?

    I know that cycles can be very confusing when you have PCOS and using more than one method of working out when ovulation is may help you to pin point it more. Tell me to shut up if you're already doing this, trying to catch up with you all is hard for newbies :o
