Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 13

NelliePie

Hi all,
CD 25 here, yesterday Ovia suggested I could test but isn't predicting AF until tomorrow. I'll want to just wait and see if AF arrives, but it's my hen do this weekend so will probably test on Friday morning if AF doesn't rear her ugly head before then. No real symptoms yet either way.

After reading an article online (don't ask me where) OH has started referring to AF as the LW - Lucifer's Waterfall! Which I think is both hilarious and fairy accurate

Ha Ha Nellie Pie i love that!
I may start using LW myself.

HappyLassie I'm not sure what he's been reading (and I don't think I want to know) but at least he's trying and reading something about menstruation without me asking him to

NelliePie its so good when they get involved isn't it?
My OH has been reading up on Percentages on each day of the fertile window... i don't know why, but it made me happy.

PKK - I was worried because I thought I might receive something whilst away but it sounds like they send you tests they want done in plenty of time before AF shows, I can take tests and samples away with me if needed and post them back when I come home, is it just tests the want you to take or urine samples aswell? Xx

I got two pregnancy tests in the first pack i received and was only asked to take one and urine sample. So i still have one waiting at home for them to tell me when to test. Is this the same with you KatieBee and PKK?

Evening all. Cd21 today. Last month I got my first peak cd20, this morning my cbfm read high. Did a cheapy opk this afternoon and it's almost positive looking so ovulation appears to finally be on the way so expecting a peak tomorrow. We've managed to BD 6 out of the last 9 days and hoping to cover the next three nights too.

A question: does anybody else have a relatively short luteal phase? Mines 11 days and not sure it's long enough

KatieBee123

Happylassie - yeh that was the same for me, to be honest I was premature telling them AF had shown I had some spotting Thursday and heavier spotting on Friday this happened last month and AF arrived in force the next day, so Thursday I let them know had my pack Saturday and tested and sent it back but AF still has not arrived it!!!8217;s cd31 today last month was a 27 day cycle so not sure what is going on. Def not pregnant and have sharp pains on my right side today so I imagine the witch is not far away!

Trying - my luteal phase changes from month to month. I was worried as I had a 10 day phase one cycle so researched and apparently as long as it!!!8217;s 10 or more days that!!!8217;s plenty of time for the egg to implant and produce hcg, the problem was the minute my luteal phase got longer I was convinced I was going to get a BFP

My second pack has 5 lots of urine sample pots and pregnant tests, plus 3 spares, which it says are in case you get an error. The pack asks you to test on a certain day then if not pregnant and no AF you continue testing every 5 days until AF arrives or you get a positive result. I am guessing for the next months pack they will send you extras to 'top up' what you have used and spares again. Then I am guessing at the end of the study you will be asked to return any unused tests, as there is always a line about the items provided only being for use of the study. Although it would be nice to have some digital sticks to use after the study as they are so expensive to buy, plus if they send spares who is to say whether you have used them? I know I wasn't asked if I used both from the initial pack or not.
