So are opks supposed to go lighter after ovulation the darker again if pregnant? I've always stopped as soon as I got a positive.
OH was sick yesterday so I guess we had a bug.

Obliviated · 28/08/2015 15:05

I just did another OPK to check I wasn't doing them to early in the day. Still positive.

Obliviated · 28/08/2015 14:47

According to the app I used I was due AF yesterday. I definitely feel like it's on it's way though. It's been 31 days since my last AF but last months was only 26 days.

I would just like it to hurry up and arrive.

CarrotVan · 28/08/2015 14:33

Test on day 29 if no AF? If that's the longest cycle you've had then you can't be too far out

Violet88 · 28/08/2015 14:20

Obliviated hope that means good news is on its way for you soon!

I'm on Cd17 today and still no positive opk Sad I normally have a positive on CD15 (based on 4 cycles) didn't do any opk's on last cycle and had a 26 day cycle instead of the normal 28/29 days. For this cycle I started the opk's on Cd13 and had a quite strong looking negative on that day, and then since then they have just been getting lighter and lighter Sad. I think either I'm not going to ov this cycle or I'm going to have another short cycle like last month and ov'd on CD12/13?? Annoying as I won't know when to test now.

ChatEnOeuf · 28/08/2015 14:13

Fingers crossed ODog!

Obliviated, that does sound strange...no ideas though.

Sorry to those AF has visited.

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 28/08/2015 10:55

That's so odd, Obliviated. How late is AF?

Obliviated · 28/08/2015 10:49

The app has been closed down, they are making a new one or something.

Positive OPK again. That's a week of positives from 9DPO until 15DPO

Snowflake16 · 28/08/2015 10:48

Thanks for the support everyone. It's my birthday this weekend so I'm going to look on the bright side and have a glass or 3 of wine.

SharyBobbins · 28/08/2015 10:36

Locked out of the app too Banana!! So frustrating because although it's a bit rubbish I still find it easier than using the forums on my phone's web browser!

Banana79 · 28/08/2015 10:32

So sorry Snowflake, it's so hard.
Fingers crossed Odog
CD31 over here and nothing doing. Tested yesterday (4 days early) BFN
What is happening with the Talk app? It's crap at the best of times but now I'm locked out

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 28/08/2015 10:08

Good news odog!

Still no AF, and temp still above the cover line. I didn't bother testing this morning though as I am fed up of BFNs! I think given I've had so many, and also had a negative OPK the other day, this is a miscalculated ovulation not a pregnancy.

I'm hacked off - before ttc I never had a cycle longer than 30 days! If I did ovulate as late as CD19 or 20 (as I now suspect) I completely missed it again - we DTD seven days in a row up to CD18!

Still - I've got my fertility monitor now - so maybe I'll get it right for cycle 3!

KittyandTeal · 28/08/2015 10:06

Oooo fingers crossed ODog :)

Obliviated · 28/08/2015 09:57

Fingers crossed Odog.

BFN here this morning, I had a lovely evap line though that I stared at until it gave me a headache.

CM has dried up though so I'm pretty sure AF will be here today or tomorrow.

SharyBobbins · 28/08/2015 09:22

Morning ladies, just catching up with this thread. Hope everyone is okay, we all seem to be having different ups & downs on this ttc rollercoaster. Fingers crossed for 'ups' for everyone soon.
We've been using conceive plus this cycle which is similar to preseed I think. OH just puts a bit on his fingers (TMI- sorry) as we didn't go for the applicators. I think its helped when DTD for ttc purposes only. My body let's me down a bit sometimes in that department. Think it's starting to feel the pressure Blush I've had +ve opks these past couple of days but no sign of the rise in bbt you're supposed to get after ovulation Sad so not sure what's going on there. Bloods next Thursday Confused

CarrotVan · 28/08/2015 08:30

Fx odog very exciting

jbiscuits · 28/08/2015 08:05

Well I originally wanted an 18 month age gap no idea why but DH was in the middle of changing jobs, and we wanted to wait to make sure he gets paternity leave. I'm now very glad as a 2 year gap seems much more manageable (most of the time)!

Fingers crossed for your bfp!

ODog · 28/08/2015 07:39

Welcome biscuits. My DS is also 14mo. Are we crazy for starting again so soon??

Will post more when DS is napping, as he's currently trying to wrestle my phone off me!

ODog · 28/08/2015 07:31

Just had a very very faint bfp. So I'm tentatively excited. It was so faint though I'm worried it could just be an Evap line. Will test over the weekend to see if it gets stronger before splashing out on a cb digi.

CarrotVan · 28/08/2015 06:56

They look + to me

Obliviated · 27/08/2015 23:10

That OPK is so dark Carrot! LH and HCG are really similar so the OPK picks up the HCG too.

No AF today. The app I use has decided that since it didn't appear today I must be due for it it arrive on Saturday instead.

BFN when I tested this afternoon, positive OPK again.

Question for OPK users - when you get a positive for ovulation, does it usually stay positive for 6 days? Wondering whether it could be a late ovulation and the OPK was wrong 14 days ago or something.

Also I read you can get a LH surge before AF but a surge for 6 days?

These are positive OPKs aren't they? I'm not reading them wrong? (The bottom one is a negative HPT)

pulpi · 27/08/2015 22:26

Snowflake, I'm right there with you. Was sure I was pregnant, but AF crept up anyway. Big hugs... and a big bottle of wine for you. But not my wine. Because there's none left. And now I must stagger to bed...

Emu123 · 27/08/2015 22:13

Fingers crossed odog - let us know how u get on!!!

Emu123 · 27/08/2015 22:13
