Thank you. Slept like a baby 10:30pm to 3am, now wide awake.. stupid jet lag. Been getting sharp stabbing pain in my boobs which isn't helping!

DancingUnicorn · 06/05/2017 23:17

Oh grumpy. That's so awful. Sending huge hugs and love to you and your sister. Really hope she pulls through. No wonder you are shaken. Hope you are managing to get some sleep. ❤️

Well done Jupiter! Enjoy the sleep.

HeyJupiter · 06/05/2017 22:17

Dancing that is so hard but agree that sending a lovely card would be a good thing to do Flowers

mummy good luck for retest tomorrow!!

Well I've made it through my second night out in a row! Heading to bed now though as totally done in Grin Hurry up second trimester..

HeyJupiter · 06/05/2017 22:14

grumpy that's awful, I'm so sorry to hear that. Really hope that things improve over night x

TheGrumpySquirrel · 06/05/2017 21:15

Thanks Hb it's so sad I just hope so much she pulls through. Her poor family. Don't think my sister would ever get over it.

HbH · 06/05/2017 21:10

Oh god, that's awful Grumpy, hope she starts improving soon, don't really know what to say but big love to the grumpy extended family & hope the tragic story has a happy ending... she'll be in good hands, my bestie lives in Paris and have heard nothing but good things about the healthcare there x

TheGrumpySquirrel · 06/05/2017 20:58

I'm a bit shaken up - just found out that my sister's best friend is on life support in hospital in Paris after taking contaminated cocaine. She had a heart attack and there is brain swelling. They induced a coma but she's not improving. Sister has just landed in Paris and is seeing her in the morning.

grumpy I love those Ones in the second photo!! They're amazing!

Mummyme87 · 06/05/2017 20:23

hoping if you don't ovulate until day 25 no point OPKing this early, wait a few more days. I ovulate about day 13/14 so start OPKing on CD7

JB1983 · 06/05/2017 20:00

They are too cute grumpy!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 06/05/2017 19:53

I may have gone a bit wild in TK maxx (attempting to stay gender neutral is so hard..)

Thanks mummy I do have the cheap ones as well but I don't know when to use them both. I'm new to OPKs this month! The instructions in the box is telling me to start from day 12 which is today but if I use them all and I don't ovulate until day 25 then I wouldn't have even caught ovulation on the test xx

buzzmoon · 06/05/2017 18:40

Yeah I'd deffo get a load of ICs and then use the CB to narrow it down once you get a positive :)

Mummyme87 · 06/05/2017 18:25

For CB dual hormone you need to start using earlyish. I do cheap OPK as well as CB. I would say start testing CD16 maybe is you don't ovulate until about CD26

JB1983 · 06/05/2017 18:21

If you have cheapie OPKs you could test with them and when the line starts to progress switch to the clear blue that might save you wasting the expensive ones.

hopingforabfp · 06/05/2017 18:01

Buzz OVIA is telling me that I am in fertile week now and my score is 10 but I don't know if I believe it because every month OVIA tells me I'm in fertile week. I change my cervical fluid and position then I'm in fertile week. Out of it then it changes again so I'm unsure until I test but I only bought the pack of 10 so I don't want to waste them as they are expensive! Xx

buzzmoon · 06/05/2017 17:53

I'm not very good, I'd say when Ovia says you're in fertile week id test! :)

hopingforabfp · 06/05/2017 17:35

Yes buzz I have. My past three cycles have been a similar length xx

buzzmoon · 06/05/2017 17:32

hoping have you got the Ovia app?

hopingforabfp · 06/05/2017 17:19

Hi all, I bought the clear blue dual hormone OPKs today. When is it that I should start testing on a 35 day cycle would you say? I usually ovulate around day 25. Xx

Penguin27 · 06/05/2017 16:40

Keithette! 😂😂

I'm confident you'll get a bfp on your digital Jb!
