Oh and can I guess 6 BFPs in April please. Being optimistic

wegle

Fingers crossed for your LP mouthscradle.

Used my first OPK today and got a negative (as expected) what I was shocked by is how little the strips are! I've only ever seen the pictures of them on here and thought they were about 6in long! The ones I have are weeny! Are they all like that? They're just cheap ones from Amazon.

How does everyone else do their OPK testing? I really struggled to 1) not have a drink after lunch and 2) hold my wee for 4 hours! I also didn't realise they needed 10 mins to develop so had to sneak it out of the toilet at work and keep it in my desk drawer till the 10 mins was up! Anyone got any helpful hints on how to make it a bit easier?

I use my OPKs when I get home from work. I try not to wee after 3pm at work and then test when I get home at 5 or 6. If I do wee after 3 at work, I just wait til 7pm to test. I've never waited 4 hours, I couldn't this week as I had cystitis lol so no chance! Mine are midstream ones. I don't really fancy the ones where you have to wee in a pot and dip the sticks in. Midstream is more convenient for me and I like how I can put the end back on over the wee bit lol. Mine say to read after 5 mins and then discard and not read after 10 mins or more.

Don't worry about not drinking just don't drink to Excess and don't worry about not going to the loo either.

I found it made no difference and when I got a positive it would come up within about 1 minute sometimes less!

Thank you both mouthscradle and Claire! I definitely can't go the next 10 days or so holding all this wee in! I feel like my bladder is going to explode. I normally finish work at 3:30 and am home by 4:00 so I'm thinking I will have a last wee after my lunch at 2:00 and then I can test when I get in from work. I'm likely to have at least one coffee between that time, that would be ok yes?

Just sneaking onto this thread to share that I spotted the CBFM (older model) on clearance for £25 in Boots earlier on - not sure if a one off but might be worth a look. Hope it helps someone

We'll I made it home.... Just! And for my trouble got a negative OPK. Boo! Never mind, got hubby booked in for some BDing when he gets in before I head out to the gym for the evening. Two workouts in one night, my trainer will be impressed!

Evening all. Hope everyone is ok

AFM currently CD4 and I think this one is going to be a long month! AF finished yesterday which is so unusual for me, she's normally here for about 6-7 days. There was a large amount of blood (sorry tmi ) on CD1 then CD2 and 3 there was next to nothing!! Not sure what's gone on there?

Could I guess 4BFPs for April please?
