Still no AF here but I'm sure it's not far away. Basedon my usual cycle and OV day, my next testing day will be Feb 14 That would be an amazing Valentine's Day present!

Anyone want to join me on Operation Valentine's baby? Either Bding then or testing then?

If AF shows up here tomorrow or tonight, I'll be testing on Valentines day as well.

Hugs for CD1 code xx I think plans are good. I like to have a new plan every month to help keep my focussed. This month I took soy and am eating healthier. Next month I am going back to my nice doctor after doing another 7DPO blood test, so I will see what she says. It just helps me out a little to think we are doing something different

Awww, Becca - anything we can help with? Have a (((hug))) for feeling down. My OPK was even more +ve last month: 2 days where the control line was very faint and the test line was super dark. It kind of took me by surprise today as I was thinking it might be another day or 2 before it went +ve. Will see whether ff confirms it all in a few days.... Soy might be having an effect tho - so hoping I won't get a few days of +ves as we just won't be able to keep up BDing every day :o We can usually manage 3 out of 4 days tho - so hopefully that will be enough and ff will confirm it all :o You had bloods done didn't you becca? They said you were ovulating? I don't drink as much as I should do so my wee is quite concentrated which might help with picking up the +ves on OPKs.

Birdie - afaik, the day or the day after the first peak or first +ve OPK should be 0dpo. You ovulate between 12-48 hours after the 1st +ve OPK/ 1st peak. Are you temping as well?

Skint - I get mine from amazon and I think its home health I use. They sell them in 10's 15's 20's etc, but I always work out the cheapest per stick (postage is free) and order multiples of that :money: I think I ordered 2 lots of 20 last time as that was cheapest. I use a lot in the month cos my ov can be anywhere from CD14 to CD34. I think if I'm not pregnant this month then I will be awaiting ov next month. But I do have a table booked for valentines as its our first year where we won't have DD (she'll be at her dads) so I am looking forward to that Hope I am too tired and pukey to enjoy it tho :o

Lara, it ain't over til the witch arrives. Hugs for BFN tho.

MrsTM - Am jealous that you know when your next testing date will be :o Would be lovely to have regular cycles and be able to plan ahead for things :o

Shortest has been 26 days (twice) and longest has been 29 days (once) in the past 3 years. All of the rest have been 28 days spot on. I've only been keeping up with my days (nothing else) for the past 3 years, but now I'm keeping up with temps, ov, cm, moods, and energy levels.

Much better than when I was 14, would have AF every 13 days!!! Very very painful as well, as in, doctor had me on morphine and it barely touched the pain. Went on the pill for a year, came off and was 50 pounds heavier, but my cycles have been like clockwork since.

Skint I buy my opks directly from home health I buy the green normal sensitivity ones, they sell through amazon too. There is tons of stuff they sell on their website can become addictive! You can order all combos of opks & pregnancy tests. If you type home health in google it should show up.

Congrats TeamLowe on Mr TL's promotion! Great news :j

Had a down few days not helped by work, it's really getting me down.

Birdie - do you want updating on the list? Great news you've got a peak straight off!

Claire is totally right about how you cope - you don't some days and others you just get on with it.

Wow abis not sure I've ever had a positive OPK now after looking at yours!

Love to you all xx

Oh no. What's up with work?

When do you get your scan results back?

skintchick

Home health it is then! I use Amazon (despite their tax dodging) because we get Nectar points that way.

thanks so much for this. it is really helpful
my negs are all the same as yours - the end of my ovks are a different colour so must be a different brand.
This is my first month of properly doing ovks, as before i was just going on what the period tracker app on my phone told me with regards to OV.
Done another there this evening & it is neg.
My longest cycle since i got my coil removed was 32 days, so I suppose I will keep testing hope to get a positive!

Congratulations Welsh Cosmic . Is there anything you did differently this month?

I'm out of hospital now and feel like I've been hit by a truck. I've not been able to get my Day 4 & 21 blood results from the hospital as they told me to contact my GP who has them. He says he hasn't got them and the hospital needs to tell me the results. Rang the hospital back and they said they can't give them out over the phone and the GP definitely has them. I'm so frustrated at the moment that I could scream. All I know is that I'm being referred on to the secondary infertility clinic because of my blood results.
