    How many sticks do you normally use per cycle? I am not sure when I should start with them once they arrive?

    Hi lilmissmup!
    This was my first cycle of ttc too. I used a phone tracker and also poas - I didn't use them first thing (it can give false results I believe, because of the concentration), but used them once a day until I thought I was close to O, and then twice a day until I got a positive. I got loads online dead cheaply and they've worked really well so far.
    HTH! nic x

    Been out all day with the outlaws at the South Bank which has been lovely, but I am soooo exhausted now and have a splitting headache, so having a sneaky lie down (outlaws do have their uses!).

    Miffy - I will be logging in tomorrow am to see how it went, keeping it all crossed for a BFP.

    Love to everyone, hope Sunday's all round are going ok x

    Lilmissmup before I knew when I was going to ov, I started testing on cd10. In my long cycles, I went through around 25 sticks when testing 2-3 times per day but it just depends how long your cycle is xx

    Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, unfortunately OH was on his works do on Fri night and was at his friends 30th last night, so probably wont be in with much chance this month :(

    On the up side it does mean I can go out and party with friends next Friday without worrying :beer:

    Lots and lots of love to MV, my fingers and toes are all still crossed for you x

    Hugs to Code for AF being on her way :(

    I am fighting off a hangover as I overdid it a bit at the office party last night. Refusing to feel guilty about it though. I am 8dpo today so would have been 7dpo yesterday and even if we are lucky this month, which I doubt, the baby wouldn't have been taking anything from me yet anyway. And I have no symptoms whatsoever. Last month I was convinced I was pregnant by 8dpo due to cramping, nausea, weird dreams and sense of smell gone mad.

    Definitely going to order some Conceive Plus if/when AF turns up to try next month.

    Oh and my exciting news, I managed to win the best raffle prize - an iPad 4! I am so excited, I'll get it tomorrow I think but will be putting it under the tree and not playing with it until Christmas day. I really wanted a tablet but due to having so much stuff still to pay for with the house renovations, any Christmas money I receive was going to the water pump fund or something equally dull, so I was absolutely over the moon :D
