Hi Hazelbrowneyes

I bought about 100 party plastic cups from poundland and they have worked fine. They aren't clear, but I can see the max line from above when dipping.

Hope this helps

Hazelbrowneyes · 05/03/2014 11:20

Very daft question coming up...

OPKs. You need to pee in a cup & dip, yes?

Do you use plastic or glass? I take it the cup needs to be clear so you can see the max line?

I tested this morning and it was a bfn, I'm 11dpo so probably to early to show anything.

Will keep testing until AF or a second line appears.

The highis when you have your estrogen surge, peak is when your LH surges. So you have a good chance or getting upduffed if you DTD on high days as the sperm will linger around, chances are better during peak days as ovulation is them imminent.
I had to get mine off eBay.

Zermatt · 05/03/2014 07:59

English what does the high and the peak mean on the CBFM? I looked into getting one of those but for some reason they aren't available in Australia, the rotters.

lindamagoo · 05/03/2014 07:37

Another BFN this morning but I knew it would be, getting bad af type pains so I guess she's on her way, atleast then I'll be able to start tracking my cycle and get down to some serious baby making Smile

missmrsmummy · 05/03/2014 07:20

Sorry to hear you're not well Treacle

Well we nearly Dtd in the end but DH fell asleep! He's all talk lol

Treaclepie19 · 05/03/2014 07:18

Thanks missmrs, feeling rotten this morning.
Haha we must have worked them too hard!!!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 05/03/2014 07:11

Cd15 still getting 'high' on cbfm. Hope I get my peak soon. Looking back over my ff charts I usually get the peak cd15 Hmm

missmrsmummy · 05/03/2014 07:10

Hope you won't need to temp next month Wink

Zermatt · 05/03/2014 07:01

Thanks English, I am going to give the temping a miss next month too I think, as my temps are erratic which I think is because I sleep with my mouth open (complete with drool, no wonder DH loves me)... and I wake up a lot in the night so they lack consistency every day. However the 2 cycles I've opk'd the positive test has started on cd13 so am going to just assume thats the norm from now on and try and relax a bit.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 05/03/2014 06:40

Zermatt, it's more than likely the OPKs are inaccurate. Although I'm sure my thermometer is a bit dodge! I think I might ditch the temping, it makes me paranoid! Don't worry about it too much, try to DTD a couple more times to cover all bases just in caseSmile

Zermatt · 05/03/2014 00:37

Is it at all possible to get your positive opk the day after ovulation? My temp and tests don't really match :(

missmrsmummy · 04/03/2014 22:57

Ps hope you don't get a chest infection!

missmrsmummy · 04/03/2014 22:56

Just as I wrote that Treacle DH came to bed saying 'can we leave it tonight' lol what's wrong with our men... turning down sex?!

Trying to convince myself we still have a chance, having just told you it'll be ok!

Treaclepie19 · 04/03/2014 22:50

Yeah thats true... Thanks missmrs :)
Now to get some sleep... Sure I'm getting a chest infection :(

missmrsmummy · 04/03/2014 22:47

I'm sure it's ok to miss one day Treacle the spermies from yesterday will still be there! Doctors say Dtd every other day or 2-3 times a week so you should be covered!

LemonDrizzler · 04/03/2014 22:46

Thanks guys! :) You have made me feel much better.

I got positive on an ic, a frer, and a cb digi and it isn't even my usual squinting under the best light in the house lol! I blame his test. Should have made him do another but the bloods will confirm I guess. Either way something funny is happening...

Jo sounds positive! It is still early, might just not be showing up in non fmu. Fingers crossed. Xx

Treaclepie19 · 04/03/2014 22:42

Ugh i never thought id see the day. Got a flashing smiley this morning but DH doesnt feel well so doesnt want to dtd. I tried to persuade him (role reversal!) but no.

Dtd last 3 days but now wont til late tomorrow night... Hope that will be ok :(

missmrsmummy · 04/03/2014 22:33

Good to have you back Jones

English I think it's a money-making scam! Companies seem to prey on us nutty vulnerable ttc-ers!

JonesSchool · 04/03/2014 22:24

Lovely to be back!
I don't really know what my Stats are, this is supposedly my WTF cycle so I just wait and see. No idea how long it will take AF's to return to normal, hopefully not long, or hopefully not at all for 9 months. Xx

Treaclepie19 · 04/03/2014 22:19

Kitty i use the old one and its not been a problem :)

missmrs we definitely are!!! :p

EnglishGirlAbroad · 04/03/2014 22:17

Kitty I think you need to use the new one... Otherwise they'd sell the sticks seperately...?? No??

KittyVonCatsington · 04/03/2014 22:07

He he he, missmrs- desperate times call for desperate measures (no pun intended) Wink

missmrsmummy · 04/03/2014 22:04

No offence meant to anyone here who has bought a second-hand digi holder Blush
