Aiming for August 2012 BFP!!

Can anyone recommend some cheap pg tests from amazon/ebay?

Cd20 isn't that late in cycle if you were a 32+ dayer but it does sound abit late if your due in 8 days

No that sounds about right given the coil etc this month, my cycle after mc I didn't ov til cd23 when I was always a regular 17/19 girl! My af came 10 days later and that may not have been a long enough lp for it to work as I may not have oved that day, was the surge, if you can leave it 12-14 days but a possible positive test could be got dpo10

Ok, might need answers ladies!
Had my copper coil taken out on 17/7, CD 16. Decided to try ovulation tests from CD 11 to see when I might ovulate for future reference. Got a +ve test tonight on CD 20 so DTD tonight am I right in thinking CD 20 is quite late to detect ovulation, I thought it was days 9-16 so assumed I had missed it? I did 3 tests (cheapie internet ones and CB one too!) just to make sure!
AF should be due 29/7 (so 8 days away) so if (Fx) AF is late, when can I POAS??

Geting too excited now, wasn't expecting to SWI this month!!!

aw sorry to see you here dulcet :(

Hi guntie I completely agree with Nicola and Kitty. When I was trying to conceive my dd (2 years ago) I used the clearblue ovulation monitors first think in the morning and they never let me down.

This time round I have bought the cheapy Internet ones and have never had a positive in the morning they only go positive in the afternoon. Best if luck with them.

Officially onto August now. on phone so can't do full list but...

Dulcetmoans, cycle 3, BFP due 18 Aug

Hi guntie
Yes I echo nicola the cb ones are for fmu but are expensive, as your only just starting out on the TTC journey why not try the cheep ones and see how you get on first, if it doesn't work maybe gk for a month on the cb digi
Evening primrose oil is something which may help your long cycle?

It seems to be hit and miss, Guntie.

I drink loads and struggled to get a result, except with FMU, which you're not meant to use with the cheapies. But other people who drink a lot say they still get an afternoon result. My problem could be not holding my wee in long enough though.

The rather expensive CB smilie ones are for FMU use, so will be useful to get my free ones soon enough!

Not sure I've helped?!

Thank you WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid
I would like to start to use OPKs to up our chances, given the super long cycles... I have never used them before and (TMI) I drink so much water each day, I dont know if they would work...
Do any of you have any advice for people who drink a ton of water, would they pick up the surge?

Thank you!

Not really happy to see her considering I'm Wearing yellow jeans!

So relieved I can start usingy monitor again from tomorrow!

winkle thank goodness for that. At least you know where you are now.

Welcome to guntie

Wow! Bet you're pleased to see that!

A couple of long awaited AFs on here today :-)

My period just arrived! After 43 days!!

Hi!
Can I join? This is my first cycle of TTC. I am a complete novice and was hoping I might be able to learn from you all...

I have uber long cycles I am expecting AF at the end of August so guess I should be POAS at some point at the end of august...

Fingers crossed for all of you!!

Thanks - now I have mc, I am going to go back to drinking. I don't drink that much anyway but I'm not going to stop completely while we ttc.

woody to answer your question about drinking I am a bit hungover today. Night out with friends last night. Including one who is 24 weeks pregnant and another who is 10 weeks (and a possible who is 4 days late but poas and got a bfn).

It didn't actually bother me, the whole world can't stop ttc just because I am trying too.

Hi All can I join? TTC 18 months +. 1st one. I am 34. Not been to docs yet so not sure if any probs. Trying to do things as naturaly as poss so less pressure not tried CB OV test yet. Hope I don't have to! Testing 3rd aug.

I'd have the whole bottle .

Woody for what it's worth, the 6 week period between CD1 and the day I got my BFP with DD were, for reasons I won't bore you with, the booziest of my life so my own experience is that alcohol at the time makes no difference. I can see that a chronic problem would adversely affect your chances but am not convinced that short-term deprivation is necessary!

If I've ovulated can I have my cream tea now?
