    :wave: everybody

    Just popping in about those OPKs Abis - I agree that the 17/10 one looks most like a positive. Am hoping you won't need to use them again, but in case you do, have you thought about trying the CB digi ones? They much easier to read and will just go negative after ovulation.

    I'm not sure why the lines are still dark, but the main things is they are not as dark as, or darker than, the control line.

    Are you temping as well?

    ETA - any other OV signs? ewcm or anything?

    ETA again - as QQ would say, if in doubt, keep BDing ;)
  • Thanks abi :)

    The last three do look a bit lighter than those middle four. I'm not sure what it means if they are not as light as the first ones as I have been using the ones with smiley faces, sorry.

    Welcome to the thread chloelouise! :)

    ETA: Thank you lovecake!

    LilyTL - Woohoo for the test results! :j :j :j Now get BDing :rotfl:

    Abis - Sorry I have no idea about OPKs... I still haven't managed to get a single positive one :eek:

    Tea Lover - Desperately hoping you don't experience another AF this year, for the very best of reasons :wink:

    time2deal - The CDs in your document made me :rotfl: Do you think there's just going to be loads of confused men or a couple of women with a knowing smile?

    Thanks Ladies for your help. I got on with them so much better last month :o

    17th one would have meant a really early ov for me. I was expecting to ov around about the 21st I think?

    I'm not temping anymore MrsJ.

    As for EWCM, I hadn't had any last month, so I have been using preseed this month. I think I used it for the first time on the 16th/17th, and I did notice EWCM afterwards but thought it was just the preseed - but when I have used preseed since then I didn't get any stretch at all on it - so I am now presuming that the EWCM was real.

    I seem to be answering my previous question myself here don't I... All evidence points to ov on the 17th.

    I just thought the lines would be a lot lighter after ov, like they were on the 15th & 16th? Last month I ran out of IC's after I had 2 positives, so I didn't see what happened after then.

    We're going for much more relaxed BDing this month. Fed up of forcing it when I aren't in the mood. It isn't working doing it that way anyways since I aren't up the duff yet.

    I wanted to stay away from the more expensive OPKs if pos, as my cycles have been really irregular so I didn't just want to keep wasting money POAS.

  • Afternoon Ladies,

    Just catching up with all your posts.

    Amy - Great article, exactly what I needed to hear as I am turning 38 very soon:D

    abis - Sorry can't help with the OPK's I haven't ever had a positive only a very faint squintable opk line.

    LTL - Great news about your OH SA results. We just went and did my OH second SA and should get the results in a week. The first one was normal so hopefully the second one will be too.

    Atton - hugs for the thrush attack. My SIL used to suffer horribly with thrush.

    Trina - Yay for PMA:rotfl:

    Tealover - I'm scared to ask about the clomid af. I think that is what is going to be offered at my next FS appointment.

    It is way too early in the tww for me to poas but I did this morning at the request of my OH. If it was positive he didn't have to go do the second SA at the hospital but it was negative (like I told him it would be this early) and he had to go anyway:rotfl:

    Sorry, haven't read back, will do later:wave:

    abis, looks like you got +opk on the 17th, so ov probably on the 18/19th. Did your cm tell you anything?
    Maybe a bit of temping may give you a clearer picture around ov:o
