rosie I've twice gotten two days of positive OPKs. My gut feeling is that I'm actually ovulating on the second positive day, presuming I'm ovulating at all! Hmm Might just be well-timed and defined surges but no ovulation actually taking place. Which is why, if I don't conceive this month, I'm going to try soy next cycle. Also presuming my lp gets to beyond five days this time. Aaa-aaaa-aah. all teary I am Sorry I've digressed. Yes, to answer your question, I've had two days of positives! Smile

Dro poas!!!

Pear I've got the digital dual hormone one - it measures estrogen & your LH surge. So flashing smiley means high fertility & fixed means peak fertility. I think you only get peak when it detects the lh surge so I'm waiting for that atm!

I'm getting such niggles and pains for about 3 days now. I really would have thought af would have started by now as the pains should have indicated the beginning of the lining coming away right? Or what causes normal period pains?

Droflove · 01/04/2015 09:44

My 10dpo test was negative too pear. I'm still here, wondering where AF is. I guess I'm 15dpo today. Trying desperately not to get my hopes up.

I used the Superdrug twin pack that can supposedly detect BFP 4 days early.

I am very confused about these smiley sticks you ladies are using! They must have improved them since I brought them with ds. I'm sure with mine you only got one smiley and that was it. Perhaps I remember them differently. It was 3 years a go!

I'm cd14 today & I've just got my 4th flashing smiley in a row!!Confused

Yes Ava I was very naughty to test so early Grin I said Friday originally. Dh is away until then anyway! It's good news that I've made it to 10 days with my previous 9 LP!

I've been told that hgc levels double every couple of days or so in early pregnancy - test again Friday (or tomorrow Wink)

Ava, when will you test?

Pear, this evening my sore boobies came back with a vengeance - not too bad now after a (not hot) bath. The awful cramps eased up by early evening but then I just felt queasy, stuffy and woolly headed, like I was coming down with something and I could barely keep my eyes open. The last couple of hours though have been completely normal - I just got a burst of energy and got all my chores done in no time Confused

I usually get cramps the day of AF and, as she has yet to arrive, I'm really hoping it's implantation as that'd coincide with today's lower temps fx.

Rosie, back last August I got static smilies for 3 days in a row the same month (a very light) AF returned for the first time. That was the first time I posted here to ask the lovely, helpful ladies what the heck was going on. Since then all I seemed to get was negative opks, both on cheapies and digis so I stopped using them for a month or so. BUT this month, following my first 'proper' AF I got a half-strong line one day, followed by a stronger line the next day (stronger than the control line) and then another half-strong line the day after (this was the day I actually ov'd according to my temps. HTH at all x

Oh and I'm having to go to the toilet a lot more this week. I'm actually a bit concerned about that one. If I'm not pregnant then I might have a sudden problem Blush

Ava, anymore symptoms? I have greasy pre AF skin, sore boobs and a very very dry mouth. Sounds delightful doesn't it Grin

2nd day of positive opk!! Can't wait for DH to get home! Sorry, This is the 1st time so I'm excited. Grin

How many days does everyone have positive opks?

auroraboringalis · 31/03/2015 16:37

mumo dc also poorly here and has spent whole day at my breast. Hmm

Mumof1sofar · 31/03/2015 16:35

Good luck all.

We've just dtd after 3rd day flashing smiley. My dc is poorly though now so wants to feed more than usual.. Bad timing, hope it doesn't put off ovulation Confused

Droflove · 31/03/2015 16:20

Pear, I got what I think was a good positive on opk 14 days ago. I didn't do an opk the following day but did one the day after that and it was totally blank so I'm either 13 or 14dpo. No af yet today. Am I counting that correctly?

auroraboringalis · 31/03/2015 15:46

News update from me ladies. I'm sorry I'm so scarce. I think I iced yesterday cd25. So 1dpo. Ff is confused and thinks based on my haphazard temps that I iced four days ago, but since I only had my opk surge two days ago I think not. I'm still on b6 to try lengthen my lp and hope this month is the charm. Suspect there isn't anything more I can do right now. Right? This 5 day lp can't carry on forever. If anyone is testing this week, good luck!

auroraboringalis · 31/03/2015 15:41

Good luck mary with the next few days. Sorry to hear the news. Be well. Flowers
