    Congratulations Shorty! I'm definitely going to guess low again next month as I never win anything so hopefully will keep being wrong :rotfl:

    Good luck for tomorrow too Gelly, will be keeping everything crossed for you.

    Can I ask what may be a stupid question? Those of you with 'regular' cycles - what do you actually class as regular? Mine are between 25 and 32 days, which I think is pretty regular, would you agree? Thinking of trying OPKs this month just to help predict a bit better.

    Hi Shrimpy, I agree that between 25-32 is "regular".

    Be aware that it you do start using OPK's, it becomes highly addictive as I'm sure lots of the ladies here will agree. Don't spend silly money on them either - the majority of us get them from Home Health - see link here....http://www.homehealth-uk.com/medical/ovulation-tests.htm

    I start using mine once my AF has finished so normally around day 5-7 but that's probably a bit early but I have a POAS fetish after 18 months of trying! Once you've started, don't skip a day as that could be the day you get the positive second line - the following day I never have a hint, it's totally back to negative.

    Good luck

    Thanks Shrimpy,

    I agree with Gelly- 25-32 seems pretty regular to me.

    I would definitely recommend OPK's although they are definitely addictive. I also tested as soon as my AF was done- Sneaking in and out of the toilets at work is always great fun.

    I noticed that I ovulate a little earlier than my app predicts with a slightly longer second part of my cycle.
    Definitely get the cheapies- I picked mine up on Amazon for a few pounds.

    Good luck
  • Congratulations Shorty :j:j:j
  • Congratulations to timeflies, tia and shorty!!! Exciting times ahead for you :) I also hope that there are many more BFP's to come shortly!


    Sending positive thoughts your way Gelly, I hope you get the result you want!!


    Kelly, can you please change me on the lists to CD5?


    I had a bit of a rubbish day yesterday, very emotional, so I'm looking forward to seeing the back of April and welcoming May with open arms to try again :)

    Have had a terrible month, hence why silence on here. I realised today that AF hadn't arrived (yes it's been that bad I've not even obsessed).

    Came home, did a test and it came up with "Pregnant 2-3"
