I thought I may as well start up the April bus since af rudely kicked me off the February bus, and my dh isn't here for March!

Been ttc #4 since September last year. Tricky as dh works abroad so much! I think I'm due to ov on the 3rd of April and dh is home on the 1st, so fx we catch it! I'll be testing round about 17th April.

Anyone else ready to hop on board to keep me company? I have a large bag of mini eggs to share Grin

BFN this morning but am only cd20 so will wait and see what happens in the next week. what about you Notta?

SamK have you asked your doc or on a diabetic forum about OPK tests?

I started Bbt charting but have given up as I'm epileptic so my body temperature is unpredictable- I wonder if OPK tests might be similar for you if you pee all the time!

Good luck all! I bought some royal jelly yesterday, I read on here it's good for fertility!

searchingchocolate · 05/04/2016 06:32

samk I'd agree, especially first cycle start opk day 7 (try to do at same time, most people find about 2pm good, if you can hold pee a bit first even better but I find if it's truly positive that doesn't matter too much) and start dtd every other day from now until 2 days after positive opk. If you find you get a line that's almost the same colour think about rechecking in a few hours. Assuming you have a normal length luteal phase you should ovulate 10-16 days before start of next period. And if you see lots of ewcm you should be on course for +Ve opk and ov soon!

GiraffesCantDoMentalArithmetic · 05/04/2016 05:09

I would say around cd 11 samk, making the start of your fertile window cd 7. Start DTD now, to make sure you don't miss it. Right now! Off you go, young lady.... Grin

Please can I pick your brains?! This will be the first month when I really pay attention to when I am ovulating. I have bought some testing strips but because I am diabetic and pee a lot I'm not very confident that I'll get great results from them. I have very regular 25 day cycles. I am day on cd6. Am I right in thinking that I will ovulate roughly between days 10 -15? Thankyou. You all seem to know what you are doing and I'm winging it on a daily basis Grin

Oh I get his leftovers Grin he upgrades his, and I get the old bits from it.

I swear I have about 5 nested folders "Old hard drive" "Old old hard drive" "MY STUFF" etc. Then he gave up and now I just have three hard drives installed. I need to copy the stuff off the old ones before they get wiped actually.

Tabitha78 · 04/04/2016 22:09

You never know Bertie, my DP talked me into buying a much better computer than I would've otherwise bought shame he didn't pay for it!

BertieBotts · 04/04/2016 21:50

DH has been on about getting me a new one but I wonder what he will think to that reasoning?! "Well I just need to analyse some strangers' pee sticks..."

BertieBotts · 04/04/2016 21:50

Also I have a shadow on my monitor which makes all lines repeat faintly to the right Hmm it really gets annoying for pregnancy test picture squinting!

BertieBotts · 04/04/2016 21:49

Ah I see. After 30 mins. I suppose it could be evaporation, then. For some reason I thought 10 minutes but 30 minutes is quite a long time.

BertieBotts · 04/04/2016 21:48

Tabitha yours looks like a positive to me.

Notta you should post a pic if you have one Grin Or do another!

Also when I was looking at stats on that site earlier, evening testing showed to be more accurate than FMU testing...

Tabitha78 · 04/04/2016 21:15

Oh that's a good article! So basically I should assume it's an evap until I test otherwise ...

BoBo90 · 04/04/2016 21:11

Sorry for those with af Flowers

Good luck Notta and Tabitha fx those are super early bfp's and you get confirmation in the next few days 😄

I've had my positive Opk today, dtd x2 yesterday and x1 today so hopefully we will catch that pesky egg! Will dtd once more tomorrow-thurs just in case 😊 Let the tww begin!

Tabitha78 · 04/04/2016 21:04

I should point out that I tested as my CM has gone a bit into overdrive - v unusual for me, but realise copper coil coming out could have upset everything

Tabitha78 · 04/04/2016 21:02

Underrug Ive got no more tests in the house! I just went out to sainsbugs but they've only got Clearblue early which don't seem to be as sensitive. Tried it but BFN. Suspect I will try tomorrow as I'm not one for patience!

Sparrowlegs248 · 04/04/2016 20:55

Hmmmm. When are you testing again tabitha? I will try to leave it two days.

underrugsswept · 04/04/2016 20:53

Test again, test again! Making you do it so I don't have to

Tabitha78 · 04/04/2016 20:52

Gah, Superdrug is flipping miles away! I'll have to schlep there in the morning!!

Tabitha78 · 04/04/2016 20:49

p.s. I know I said I wouldn't POAS until AF was due, but curiosity got the better of me Blush

Sparrowlegs248 · 04/04/2016 20:48

Wait! What?!? Mine was pink!

underrugsswept · 04/04/2016 20:47

I think it can only be pink if the right hormone is present. There was a great post on here once about the notorious evap. I'd say it looks very promising - test again tomorrow!

Sparrowlegs248 · 04/04/2016 20:47

That happened to me Tabitha, I did a cheapo boots dipstick. Nothing after three minutes, medium looking line (as in not feint) a while later. I don't really understand the whole evap line thing but assumed that's what it was.

BertieBotts · 04/04/2016 20:46

Hang on I read something about evaporation lines today.

Tabitha78 · 04/04/2016 20:37

It is pink...
