Cats, I think I gave up on the OPKs on 22nd June after my long spell of flashing smileys on cb digi. We BD'd on 22nd, 24th, 27th June and then not again until 7th July. Had positive ICOPK on 8th (out of the blue - only noticed cramps and EWCM) and BD'd 8th, 9th and 10th.

I don't really see how we could have conceived before that weekend of 9th July, but didn't want to tell her she was wrong lol

I've never used OPK's so not sure if this is possible but could it be that the smiley faces mean you OV'd last week of June and then the positive on the 8th July is because the HCG was already showing up in your system?

That would put you 2 - 3 weeks for afternoon urine.

Eeeekkk it's exciting. I'm looking forward to your first scan myself so you can confirm your dates.:rotfl:

I did wonder that, but I think the smiley faces are only 'high' fertility. I don't remember any other OV symptoms around that time and was no line on ICOPK that i did alongside. I did another ICOPK on the 9th and it was a lot fainter the day after the strong positive so not sure.

My 2-3 weeks was ltoday after a 4 hour hold (only because I didn't have another digi to use this morning) The weak afternoon urine was yesterday which showed 1-2 weeks.

Bamboozled!

Clara it's lovely to hear good news on this thread, especially when you know what some people have gone through to get their bfp. I think it kinda gives the rest of us some hope.

It's the announcements in RL that I find difficult - like today with my cousin's pg announcement & scan pic. Totally wasn't prepared for it as they hadn't even been trying. I'm fed up of feeling jealous & bitter, I just want a baby already.

Hugs for you Angel :grouphug:

I completely understand where you are coming from. I was even getting annoyed at the soaps on TV, everybody pregnant and it's not even real!

You should continue along with the acupuncture if you feel it is making a difference and try not to stress too much. Fingers crossed your BFP comes when you least expect it xxx

I know it's not exactly what I said in your case Clara but the 'when you least expect it' works. How many times do we see "I really thought I was in with a chance this cycle" and then again how many times do we see "I wasn't really expecting it, I forgot to test/didn't really BD that much/just relaxed".

Exactly Athens! Which is what has happened! And I think your other theory of OV last week in June may be right!

The more I look at it, the more I'm thinking that's what my acupuncturist was implying (She also said OPKS are bad as not always accurate especially with PCOS!). If my CB digi is saying 2-3 weeks (4-5 in doctor terms) I could have conceived from the BDing on/around 27th June which would make me around 5 weeks (give or take) - I think? Does that seem possible? I have logged on Glow a lot of CM around then but not as EWCM and didn't take any OPK's then.

This is when we were following SMEP

I think either is possible Clara but that definitely sounds feasible. Unfortunately you may have to wait for an early scan to know for sure!! For now just enjoy the news :-) sending loads of love xx
