What day do people start doing opk's from? If you have no idea how long your cycle is going to be or when or if you will ovulate. i have some IC so could do them from now & confirm with clear blue.

Thanks ladies!

CD6-8 if you don't know - you'd have to have really short cycles to miss ov that early. I used to wait until I detected ewcm ( I'd do an internal check because I get ewcm for a couple of days). Once you've done them for a month or two you and have worked out your luteal phase its easier to predict ovulation more accurately.

Hugs tink :grouphug:

Sulphate - welcome - hope your stay is short, would youlike adding to the lists?

TTC39 - Hugs for CD1

Laila - I cant temp either, i work shifts and never get up at the smae time each day - i tried for one month and my temps were all over the place!

Daisyegg - have a lovely time at the christmas market, sometime FF takes a while to update - it may not be until CD1 when it will work it out (fingers crossed there will be no CD1 though obviously) .

AFM..... CD1 :-( No BFP for me this year. so my journey began 1 year ago i really thought id have a baby or at least be pregnant by now. I can honestly say though - its taken me at least 7/8 months to work out my long cycles, and some months (due to work) we've not even been in with a chance. 2014... WILL BE my year!! positive thinking! hehe

have a lovely Saturday guys x x

Yes please i'm sure 2014 will be your year !!!

Stats.... I'm 26, ttc#1 since a week ago, currently on CD52 :mad: Haven't done opk's and might get some in the new year depending when AF shows up. Until then i guess i'm taking HPTs every 4 weeks...

Still working out the terminology on here, am sure I'll figure it out eventually...

thanks for the welcome, babydust to everyone

Welcome Sulphate- I fully understand your frustration- my last cycle reached 100 days!! Lets hope you aren't waiting that long for yours. If you aren't sure about the terminology I think theres some guidance on page one, or just ask and we will help where we can.

How is everyone?

How are things PM?

It's quiet on here today!

Does anyone take Evening Primrose for boob pain? Does it work?

Sorry, can't help with that, though I think the pre-pregnancy multivitamin I take might have it in.

After being convinced I had ovulated on Friday, now I think it might have been yesterday because my temperature absolutely leapt up this morning. If it stays high for another couple of days I guess it would be yesterday. It is all so confusing. I am becoming more glad I bought a Clearblue fertility monitor so next month hopefully things might be a bit more clear. Anyway we had a lot of sex over the weekend and will do tonight as well so whenever it was maybe we caught it?! Who knows.

Hope everyone else is doing ok - just over a week until Christmas!

Fingers crossed you won't you need the Clearblue monitor next month!

Don't think my vitamin has it in...or if it does it isn't working :rotfl: I've resorted to Nurofen plus. I didn't want to take anything with Codeine whilst TTC but I'm getting desperate! I came home from work early because it was so bad today but the Nurofen seems to be doing the trick but would rather find something natural that helps.

Hey- hope everyone is good.

Well- just as Im a stage of my cycle that we should dtd as much as possible both myself and hubby are full of cold!! Lets just hope that I don't ov early and that Im better in a few days!! I am still resisting the opks, at least for this cycle!!

I have no idea what helps boob pain, its not something I really suffer with (at the moment anyway).

How frustrating that your cycle seems to be playing mind games with you Daisie.

Laila P - I took evening primrose oil for about 6 months prior to my wedding as someone told me it is good for your skin. It worked wonders on my skin but I still had sore boobs before AF each month. I didn't realise it was supposed to be good for that! It might have eased them slightly I suppose but I definitely still had soreness each month. I get it quite badly.

It might work differently for you though so it's worth a try!?

I have no clue about boob pain either, although when I hurt my knee and the Dr knew we were trying, she told me to use an ibruprofen gel instead of tablets. I have no clue if it would work on boobs, but you could possibly ask a pharmacist or your Dr if you can get an appointment? Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion, it's the only solution I can think of!

Once again I'm having all the symptoms under the sun, nausea, fatigue etc - no doubt to be dashed by the weekend :mad:. Most annoying was that the wine tasted a bit odd when I was on my work christmas do this weekend, so I stopped drinking after 1-2 glasses. Everyone else was drinking heavily (it was a free bar) so I'm sure that now they're going to be suspicious that I'm pregnant because I'm normally keeping up with everyone. Ho hum.

On top of this, I had acupuncture last week (I have it every few weeks at the moment) and felt completely irritated by it - almost to the point of pulling out the needles myself! Completely out of the ordinary as I often fall asleep I find it so relaxing. I've only felt this once before and that was when I went along when I was 7 weeks pregnant. Of course I wasn't 7 weeks pregnant this time (although have been thinking that wouldn't it be great to be not just pregnant, but 4 weeks ahead of where I thought I'd be!:o) and didn't experience it in the 2ww last time I was pregnant. So yet another way of my body completely screwing with my head!

Yay - Had a peak ovulating smiley face on CB OV digi today! Yay! After last months fiasco, I was ready to give up OPK's!

Had cramping last night and today - yesterday i had a flashy smiley so just high fertility... So i figure that today or tomorrow will be OV. BD on Friday & Sunday nights so keeping those swimmers just right - not too stale (ewww) and not too fresh! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Wondering whether to try and BD again tonight OR wait until tomorrow night to keep to the 48hr rule (but then the OV moment may have passed.....)

We should ask people from now on who get lucky whether they just do it lots OR keep to the 48hr thing.....
