Am going to try without using ovulation sticks initially - not sure I fancy testing my wee every morning!! But that could all change if TTC doesn't happen straightaway...

Babydust all round! Fx we are a lucky thread

I think eod is ample to keep it up and have a break imbetween, I'd only do every day if I'd got a +opk that day then do it the next day aswel

Hi just lurking incase I need to move over in a week
The opk conversation as far as I've tried ive used cheep line readers and the digi ones and ofcourse the digi ones are better in that there's no confusion but I've never had a problem with not getting a + ive on cheep ( queen-I get a line everyday I test, that's not uncommon it's only positive when it is darker or the same colour as the test line, when it happens you will see the difference! ) maybe buy the expensive and cheep and use them at the same time for cycle one just to see if they both give the same results and to give you piece of mind your doing and reading it right? I used to have one pack of digi and then use cheep til I thought yes then just check with the digi if I got a with that aswell

Queen as for keeping it interesting - I think it can get abit well we " have" to do it today but I find we always enjoy it once we get started and try different positions or places like a quickie on the sofa, after trying for a long time first time I must admit we had gone down to literally just dtd for 2 days around ov at times ( btw- I did get pg like that!)

I guess so. As this is my first cycle and I'm not sure if/when I'm going to ovulate, I'm happy to start off with the cheap ones as I may get through a few!

Am interested in how everyone keeps things interesting IYKWIM when DTD EOD? We've been trying to go for every day (pre TTC would prob be about once a week) and already I can't be arsed it's beginning to feel like a chore and DH says his willy is sore is needing encouragement.

If I'm right about my cycle dates (which I may well not be as I haven't been keeping track at all, recently - until this thread) then I reckon I'll ovulate next Sunday, as it's 14 days before day one of next cycle due.

It'll be interesting to see if that's right.

So how long before ovulation do you start DTD with intent then?

TheQueensDinner.

Thanks for the reply :)

Do you think they're hard to read then? Would you recommend them?

Bloody hell - they're all Amazon! I mean the cheap ones!!

Sorry - that wasn't clear! I'm using the Amazon ones.

They're the ones I'm using aufaniae. I've had a couple of very faint lines the last 2 days but I might be reading the result after too long.

OK, sticks again. I need your help ladies, I'm clueless here!

I found these "Highly Sensitive 20miu Ovulation/Fertility Test Strips - 30-Pack" on Amazon for under £6. They seem really cheap compared to the others. Are they the right ones? Is there something wrong with them?

Then there's a Clearblue Digital Ovulation Testing Kit - 7 Pack for £14

Also a non-digital Clearblue kit for £16.

Which would you go for?

Wishing the best of luck to everyone this month of course :)

Just getting a little bit concerned at being on cycle 5!

Hey, HariboHeaven, our turns next I hope!

Here's to a lovely relaxed August for all of us!

yikes I know what you mean about testing early. I had 15 cheapies last month and used all of them during what ended up being a 3ww due to ovulating later than I thought. I was an emotional wreck and have learnt my lesson this time around.

I let myself believe that I was pregnant and it was such a crash to realise I wasn't. Trying to expect nothing and then might be pleasantly surprised I hope. ha ha you all watch me get my hopes up as the month goes on

No probs newbie thanks for adding me :) I'm with you on aiming for a more relaxed month!

Thanks Sheep. Have read other posts saying that the lines one these cheap tests are usually faint so was being optimistic!

TheQueensDinner I'm using Ovulation internet cheapies too but my instructions say that a faint line means a no. A dark line (similar or darker than to the tset line) is a yes. Only been using them for 3 days now to try and monitor ready for TTC.

I get my coil out on 17th July (which would be CD16) so I'm going to miss that month's POAS round :-( so waiting (possibly not very patiently) until August for my turn!

Am using cheapy ovulation tests and now getting a faint line after a while - is this to be relied upon do you think? Very frustrating not knowing where I am in my cycle. Would almost be a relief to get a BFN just so I have a starting point. Trying to DTD every night just in case.

Hello everyone! waves to all from July thread
Am going to try to take a more relaxed approach to dtd this month, but let's see. Doing the EPO thing + vits + temps + opk tests mid-month onwards. Plan to DTD EOD from about cd16 as I ov at around cd22. CD3 today so a loooong way to go.... Need something to pass the time so will prob just lurk here for a wee while.
Oh, and this time round I will NOT be testing early. Ended up in tears last month which is totally ridiculous so I vow not to go there again.
