Opks should be used every day from cd6, mama.

VJONES1985 · 04/09/2013 21:40

Mama, I feel your pain. I had a short cycle last month but it was a very short luteal phase that did it for me. I'm gonna take b6 this month. When did you start taking it?

mama31 · 04/09/2013 21:39

Ps I will need to know how these opks work also no clue!

mama31 · 04/09/2013 21:36

Thanks ladies! I understand now that I was dtd at the wrong time given my short (23 days not 22) only dtd once over the time I would have ovulated :/

But choccy glad you pointed that out, I can stay on sept bus with my 23 day cycle as that only takes me up to 27/9. So weird tho as I checked when I should ovulate on ovulation calculator with 23 day cycle and its from 9-13th sept!! Right after af!! :/ but I will def be using opks this time to confirm! So it all begins again.....

New stats: TTC #2, cycle (2 or 3?? This is my 2nd af after coming off pill) BFP due 27th sept (based on 23 day cycle)

VJONES1985 · 04/09/2013 21:29

Choccy - I had positives last month so I know what they look like but am wondering about these faint lines this month. I know they aren't positive though so I'll just keep on going!

jaykay987 · 04/09/2013 21:27

My understanding is a faint line is a negative only if the line is the same, or darker, than the control line does it count as a positive.

As soon as I got a positive - it did look really different to the others. So once you've had it once - you.l know what to look for.

FX you get it soon!

wispaxmas · 04/09/2013 21:26

Oh no mama, but I totally know how you feel, I went through it last week!

Choccywoccydodah · 04/09/2013 21:24

Sorry vj, I hadn't read earlier posts, just caught up. This is so confusing isn't it, exactly why I've never used them before!

VJONES1985 · 04/09/2013 21:06

Choccy, I'm in the same situation!

Choccywoccydodah · 04/09/2013 21:05

Mama no no no no!! So sorry hunny Hmm really thought this was it!
If you had a short cycle, you could stay with us still Smile

Can anyone answer my earlier opk question? Been looking online and some people are saying to go from nothing to a faint line can mean it will get darker over the next day or so, some people are saying ignore it and treat it as no line. So confused!

blamber · 04/09/2013 21:02

sorry, mama. Hope the B6 will do its thing next cycle!

VJONES1985 · 04/09/2013 21:02

Oh no! Mama, when did you start taking b6?

mama31 · 04/09/2013 21:00

I'm Out!!! :( AF got me the sneaky witch! Ok so that was a 22day cycle! Pfffffft... :(

Note to self- expect spotting/cm 3-4 days prior to arrival of af & do not assume its implantation! Also get the 50 dose B6 in fast!

Looks like ill be on the October bus then!

DisneyDiva87 · 04/09/2013 20:56

Yea I hope she's ok too. Maybe Hayley has just taken a break from mn till she feels better? I'm sure she'll be back in a week or two

keepswimming1 · 04/09/2013 20:46

any news from JUSTHAYLEY yet? ?? hope she is ok x x I haven't seem a post yet

VJONES1985 · 04/09/2013 20:31

Also, no sign of ewcm as yet but am v tired, hot and achy today. Perhaps another sign of impending ovulation!

VJONES1985 · 04/09/2013 20:16

Thanks blamber. I did check my cp last month but I can't remember what day it was so I don't really know what it means for me today. Had better get some vitamin b6 on Saturday then, as I wouldn't want to ovulate and not have any b6 to take afterwards!

blamber · 04/09/2013 19:59

Vjones, if its your first month of checking cervix it will be difficult to tell what stage you're in, because you have nothing to compare it to. I found though that about a week in advance the cervix slowly starts to open and then 1-2 days before ov it gets so much softer, higher and more open.

So cd9 is not too early for things to happen, but the faint lh line doesn't count.

VickyVix · 04/09/2013 19:52

I found that 2 week wait website too, have been reading all sorts of things......mostly searching for if people had BFN around 12 dpo and then got a BFP!

Will be checking in every time I can find an Internet connection, otherwise I would never be able to catch up, you guys will be on part 10 by the time I get back! plus I really want to see all the news as it comes in.

Good luck everyone, I still have good feelings about his bus. Really hope AF stays away ..........please please please do not come visiting this month AF, not to me, not to any of us September ladies, got that?!?!

keepswimming1 · 04/09/2013 19:51

at least you still have a chance mama. U sit there and rest :)

englishteacher78 · 04/09/2013 19:49

Yup, Sunday. This Sunday it's a nice little 10km road race - much more civilised - medal won't be as good though.

Choccywoccydodah · 04/09/2013 19:46

Hi, not read through since earlier so apologies for not commenting on anything.
I've just done an opk. I've been doing them for the last 3 days and only one line. Tonight, I have a faint second line, which i know is still negative, but does that mean I'm getting close to ov? I've never done these before!! I'm on cd15. Ta!

Sparrowlegs248 · 04/09/2013 19:46

Sounds fab english - was it sunday? I was supposed to do it with a friend but she bottled out.

Sparrowlegs248 · 04/09/2013 19:45

Sounds promising, FX for you mama

Someone i work with is due in 5 weeks. So envious.

englishteacher78 · 04/09/2013 19:44

Notta - yup did Spartan. Got an awesome medal and technical tee.
They didn't have the electrocution so it was just running, climbing and avoiding barbed wire! My group of people got caked in mud but most others only had muddy trainers. We had more fun I think Grin
