Who wants to buddy up?!

Not really sure either Nicky but going by the fact that Brooke got a positive, then we don't know what happened the next day and then the day after it was negative, it seems your best plan would be to do what you said before and opk every day until your due on and of course bd'ing every other day if you can. Also when I stopped the pill my first cycle was 34 days so it may be the same with coil removal it takes your body longer to get back to normal so you may have a longer than normal cycle, which could explain ovulation been later than what you and the app originally expected.

Brooke - Im not sure if one would go from almost positive to negative without ovulation. I think the most likely thing was that you did ovulate either later on Saturday or on the Sunday. I guess if could do if your body released a surge of estrogen and then lutenizing hormone but then no egg was released. It says in my CBDH opk instructions that a woman can sometimes not release an egg during a cycle but its not clear about whether the hormones that the opk recognises would still be released in that circumstance and therefore an opk would be positive.

Issie - I will let you know! Although my gut feeling is it was before i started using the opks.

Nicky- i never used them before either! Think they're stressful too! Somebody on here told me that when you have a positive opk, you have between 12-24 hours, im guessing the lh surge will lower then and the tests should get lighter and lighter?

Brooke113...don't be sorry
it's what we're all here for.

I'm not 100% to be honest. I'm not sure how it all works as with my other 2 never bothered with things like that. I'm so confused with the opks ....

I was wondering today (and it's probably the most stupid question)....once you get a positive is that the start of the good few days of being fertile and do you need to test everyday after??

I'm too confused...this ttc milarky is very stressful!!!

Nicky-keeping my fingers crossed for you hun :)

Sorry to go on about this again but im really stressing. So if the opk i did last saturday was almost positive, and then negative on the monday, presuming i ov'd on the sunday...i should have done an opk and then i wouldnt be stressing, but had too much on our plate that day, so completely forgot...the opk i did today was completely 100% negative, not even a hint of a line. Would an opk go from being "almost positive" to "completely negative" without ovulation occuring?

I know what you mean Brooke113....I've geared myself up all week for this being peak of cycle and then neg this morning has put me on a downer.....hopefully things will get better as weekend goes by xx

issie339 I have ovia fertility.
it's good and gives lots of info. I think it would be really helpful if you was certain of your cycle....which as it's my first cycle after coil removal and having that in for 4 1/2 years with only tiny bit of bleeding throughout think my body is still trying to get bk to normal ...

I think plan of action is opk everyday and dtd as much as poss over next few days....

Hmmm...my Ovulation Oracle senses are feeling Sunday for you Violet

When's mine then Ovulation Oracle? Or have I already had it! :)

I defo reckon Saturday is your ov day Nicky, let me know if I'm right, perhaps I'm some kind of ovulation oracle lols.

I don't have an app but might have a little browse in the App Store on the train home tonight. Any recommendations?

These apps like to play with our minds I think. I Got an almost positive on Saturday and a negative Monday ,didn't test Sunday as I forgot ,so I think I ov'd Sunday ,although my app thinks it's going to happen this Sunday ,been doing OPKs all this week and so far they are all negative . it would be weird if I did ov last weekend as that would give me a 27 day cycle and I'm normally 32-34 so we shall see.

violetibiza88 I'm day 15 too. I've just no clue. I was sort of following the app i downloaded which said my chances of conceiving started Tues and is at its peak today but I've done tests yest and today and both neg.

we've only managed dtd once this week too which is making me stress even more....so oh has just walked in and he's been told...next few nights haha x

Nicky, i got another negative today on the opk. I did start opk'ing late though on day 14 (day 15 really if the first day doesn't really count) of a 28 - 31 day cycle. Either ov has already come and gone (in which case i think ive got it covered lol) or im still waiting. If its the later I thought that I would at least have high fertility by now to then peak this weekend CD16/17? Haven't a clue what my bodys doing either!!

issie339 ...the app is reading
today-9.0 chance
fri-10.0
sat-9.5
sun-9.0
so maybe fingers crossed.

I think I'm going to follow the opks as it's my first cycle since coil removal so things still probably up in the air x

Sounds like you haven't missed it Nicky, from the app saying the peak window is today to Saturday and the opk reading negative sounds like you might ov on Saturday.

Brooke113. ....I'm hoping so.
think for next few days I'm going to go on opk s rather than app and see what happens. think I've got about 7 left so fingers crossed I will get a positive out of them.
think I just need to chill out a bit...there's No reason it shouldn't happen. x

Nicky- I'd trust the opk alot more than the app. Maybe you havnt missed your window just yet :)

plus just done a ovulation test......and it was negative..
haven't a clue what my body is doing!!!!!

Hi all. hope your all ok.

well my dtd marathon has not gone to plan....my app is telling me that from Monday this is apparently the week....stronger chances today tomorrow and Saturday. we've managed once so far....
I was hoping for mon.wed.fri so I had most basic covered but due to little one being ill and then oh uncle being rushed to hospital last night it's not happening....

hopefully get back on track tonight fingers crossed.

I have had pain in the past when ovulating but it's once in a blue moon.

my oh too is just wanting to keep it casual where as im like "cm on on" haha....

I think if this month not the one next month I'm not going to tell him it's my time so to speak I will just spend those 6 days attacking him lol x

Negative opk this morning, however ive now read on here that on day 1 of testing with the CBDH opk it will ALWAYS show a blank circle, whether or not it's a low fertile day, as it's simply base lining the machine to allow it to compare the next days' test results. So it will be tomorrow when I actually know.

Glad your little boys ok now Nicky, have you got the dtd marathon underway then? Ive never had pain with ovulation, never been vaguely aware of ever having ovulated in my life (although now i hope i have been doing!!) I know what you mean about the stress I need to calm down too! Feeling a bit less stressed now ive started the opk's as now I can just do that in the morning, know whats going on and then hopefully not be wondering all day , what about this, what about that.

Mine's the same Issie, way too chilled out about these things while we go crazy!

MaybeMrs my OH definitely thinks I've lost the plot, he thinks we should "just keep it casual and see what happens"...errrr, no lols

Don't get stressed Nicky

I never used to have any idea I was ovulating at all. Now I'm very tuned-in to my cycle dates (because we're ttc) I seem to notice a few very subtle changes but unless I really take notice I honestly wouldn't notice I was ovulating at all.

Glad your little boy is feeling better

I have now also bought pack of vests and a blanket.......

help ttc crazy lady......

I know I shouldn't but I just can't help it xx

issie339.....he's ok now thank you. he settled eventually

I'm getting stressed out and it's only my first cycle. I keep telling myself to calm down but it's so hard when you want something so bad....

according to app I should be ovulating now....but not had no discharge of any sort or no pain like some ppl get.....
can some ppl just ovulate and not know??? I'm so out of sync with all this ttc.

I'm driving myself mad!!!!
HELP

Issie I did have intentions to split the stuff I bought into 2 bundles and give them away. Couldn't bear it so I now have a few things stashed away.

DH is home from work and I've informed him that we should be able to start trying again in about 10 days. I'm sure he things I've lost the plot
