    Hi *waves shyly*, can I join you lovely ladies please?

    I've been lurking for a few months until we were ready but would like to make it official please, so Secret Debt Girl (28) TTC #1 11/11!! Eeeek feels good saying (typing) that, but nervous though!! I stopped taking the 'pill' in Feb, but my periods haven't really settled down yet currently CD37 and impatiantly waiting for AF to arrive. For this reason I've been toying with the idea of using OPK to pin point as close as possible potential ovulation times. Oooooh the decisions!! What do you think??

    Anyways, I think I've rambled enough!!

    :wave: Hello, and welcome to the thread.

    OPKs are really good for helping you to pinpoint ov if you have irregular cycles. Also temping is good- it can't tell you that you are about to ov but it will tell you when you have. So it isn't good when just looking at one cycle but if you temp over a number of cycles it can help narrow down a range of days when you are likely to ov and therefore you don't have to use OPKs as much.

    Welcome SDOADG - hope your cycles settle down soon.

    mssas I've not heard of the bodycare ones. The superdrug ones are quite sensitive and not too expensive, which is why people on here recommend them. If you look at the first post on the thread, it shows you some of the different pregnancy tests available and their sensitivities.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Huge Hugs Honey.

    Life will never be the same after a MC :o Life goes on and we see life differently. You need time to grieve and you are doing amazing. The hardest thing that you have to do each day is get out of bed and face the world. No one walks in your shoes no one lives in your footsteps. You will always have your memories and love for Alex and one day you will get to hold your baby that is meant for your arms and not just a imprint on your heart & soul. :A
    If you can think it........it will happen

    *hugs* for the BFNs and CD1s this morning.

    After lovely climbing temps, they've now been dropping over the past 3 days...I'm going to try and ignore that!! My mentality is I don't lose hope until the fat lady sings, which of course is AF coming :D.

    Interesting link to the testing study on FF...I sorta knew most of that and I hate to torture myself with BFNs, so I generally won't test until 14DPO. Even with my current DS, I tested on 13DPO, got a neg, and then the BFP the next day!! Also, I think everyone's bodies work differently and where 1 lady may be able to get a BFP at 10DPO another one won't...so hugs and cuppas for that horrid 2ww, ladies.
    top 2013 wins: iPad, £50 dental care, £50 sportswear, £50 Nectar GC, £300 B&Q GC; jewellery, Bumbo, 12xPringles, 2xDiesel EDT, £25 Morrisons, £50 Loch Fyne

    would like to win a holiday, please!!
