I always thought long cycles meant you ov later as af is linked to when you ovulated.. But it's the opposite with me! So god knows what my body is doing in the time between ov and af arriving!!
Hoping to get a peak with the opk soon otherwise I'm gonna run out of them!

Treaclepie19 · 26/01/2014 14:30

babytinks wondering if we are a similar age?
Also yeah I'm on cd10 today too :)
Had a flashing smiley yesterday and today. My app says I will ovulate next sat but I think it will be Wednesday from what my OPK says.

Ohh that's good to know, so do you ov earlier if your cycles are longer? I'm confused with all this first time mummy!!
I just can't wait another month, this has to be our month, if its not i think i'll break down lol! Been 3 months since my mc in November so i need this to start picking myself up properly again Smile

This month is my first month with opks (clearblue ones). I've had flashing smileys on cd9,10 and 11 so far! Today is cd12! If I don't get a peak soon I'm going to run out. I'm ov'ing really early considering my cycles are about 38 days at the mo.

Come and chat in the feb 15th thread :) I'm all alone atm haha.

OPK's, I used mine straight after AF this month cus I wasn't sure what my cycle was doing. Normally I'd say around cycle day 10 if you're on a 28 day cycle.
