Trying for a Baby Part 8

Skaps... I get my opks from eBay. I know some ladies also get them from amazon etc. I tend to buy them in bulk as my cycles are long. You can also get monitors such as Clearblue Fertility Monitor but they are quite expensive.

Hmm I think I've got an evap line... Can they be slightly pink?

Yes I can see it now. Well done:D

You chart still looks good. Although you have missed some data just before Xmas and have some sleep depreived days there is still a pretty obvious pattern. If you you ovulate within the 36 hour or so you should see your temps shoot up and still get a biphasic chart.

Yay! Thanks for looking. The sleep deprived data I think is where I was actually not sleep deprived and slept in
If you look at last months, the day after I got a positive OPK, my temp plummeted. Hopefully that will happen tomorrow and then shoot up again.

Hello to everyone (especially the new people)!

We've been dealing with bunny dominance issues today. Ugh. Having to reassert myself as top bunny again. We have one very dominate and one very submissive bunny.

The 'BD at least every other day' this cycle: so far so good!

I'll hop onto the laptop (instead of the phone) later and see of I can post my chart to see if it looks 'normal' if anyone would like to see it. Once I post it, feel free to add me as a friend as well if any of you would like.

I think evaps are normally grey.

Welcome sammy. Hope your stay is short.

Congrats on the BFP NoAngel. It gives me hope.

Hi sammy and scaps nice to meet you both!

Scaps I would recommend the ones from home health on amazon, they're dirt cheap and have never failed to pick up on ov yet. I get them in batches of 50 and test twice daily to make sure I don't miss anything. Their pregnancy tests are also good, they work and are dirt cheap. I'm just addicted to Poas what can I say *hangs head in embarrassment*

Thanks code, thought so. I have developed serious 'line eye'!!

Have we heard from Amus??

Claire - try the tesco soy ones if you want to try. They are normal sized ones (80mg) and the plastic coated ones so easy to swallow! They haven't worked wonders for me but was worth a go!

My 2013 PMA starts here!

Hmm weird I just checked mine and theyre from tesco, but theyre 40mg and huge?? Huge for me anyway - I mean theyre like about 5-6 times size of folic acid.

It says soy isoflavones on the bottle? Did I get the wrong ones?

Are there any recommended ovulation kits?

I get them off Home Health website. which I think are the same as youll find on amazon. Green strips. Just type it in google and youll find it, free postage too.

Id start with the cheap ones and if you find them hard to read you can get smiley face clear blue ones but they are pretty expensive. And for lots of us the cheap ones work fine so Id go with them first.

Hi everyone, I've just spent the past couple of hours wondering what the hell is going on with my bbt chart and think I've cocked up this month. I've been off work for nearly two weeks on annual leave and my sleep pattern has disappeared- not been going to bed until 3/4 in the morning. Would that knacker my post ov temps?

I've posted my FF chart...


My Ovulation Chart

It could do. I dont think you can say for sure you you ovulated. Id be expecting higher temps now. So keep bding!!

Only have a 7/8 day LP so will expect AF next week. Thanks Lily, I forgot what you said. I will go for the test as normal tomorrow.

On the plus side, I have a huge dark line on my OPK, darker than the control line (CD 25) I also have a temp dip but I can't rely on that as I have been temping later than normal. EWCM last night too.
Shame hubby is poorly- i've drugged him (ibuprofen lol) so he might feel better later on.

Firefly, I have tweaked the home page. Can you see it now?

I agree with Lily then get the test especially as you have a short luteal phase.

Yay for dark line! Get bding!! :rotfl:
