Oops! Didn’t see there was a second page so replied to an old message. 🙈
I’m on day 4 , going to start my cb digital OPK day 7. Has anyone else used them after miscarriage? When did you ov?

mummyjl15 · 14/01/2018 15:05

@AmazingGrace16 I started using the cab digital ones last week after a miscarriage but I must have just missed it as AF arrived on Thursday. Getting back to testing next week though. My cycles are all over the place having had 2 miscarriages in the last 8 months so hoping these OPK will help speed things along!

Love2cook · 14/01/2018 10:23

Peak for me! Fingers crossed for everyone!

@amazinggrace16 I have used CB digital OPK for a while. With these ones you are supposed to use FMU. The cheap ones from internet apparently not FMU but I have also used FMU with these and still gotten results. Be prepared for first CB result to be a negative and then a lot of flashing smileys before you get your static. I used the cheapie alongside CB until I got to know my cycle better. For example the earliest I have ever gotten positive is CD15 so now I don't start testing until CD 13 so save some sticks as they are expensive! I've not missed the surge yet. Keep the same holder when you run out of sticks too.

AmazingGrace16 · 14/01/2018 09:47

ahh congratulations :)
I'm confused with the cb opks. They say to use fmu and to start testing from cd7 based on my cycle length. Not convinced but we will see!

Brownbear84 · 14/01/2018 08:59

Thanks girls doesn't seem real!!! I come of the pill November had withdrawal bleed,first proper period 18th December which i was shocked at. I did ov sticks from day 9 and got positive 30th December. We dtd 29,30,31 and 1st and got this positive test yesterday! So I'm 3 weeks 6 days xx

Big congrats brownbear!! How many dpo were u when u got your bfp?

Amazing I haven’t used the cb ones before but I know the cheap strip tests I have recommend not to use fmu? So I think you should be fine! Also cd 7 would be quite early for ov?

AmazingGrace16 · 13/01/2018 23:48

First time using cb opks and I've got a few questions:
I didn't use fmu....have I now mucked it all up because my readings will be different?
Can you buy refills for the gadget or do you buy a whole pack again?
Cd7 here and I thought I ovulated on cd7 but a blank face today!

Presh12345 · 13/01/2018 05:47

First month using opk. MMC in June and been trying since. Lost count of cycles. Conceive plus used too, regularly. Got a smiley face Thursday and Friday so fingers crossed.

Hey! I’m joining the TTC club (well have been since Feb last year!) have suffered 2 miscarriages since June and currently on day 3 of my cycle.

Praying we conceive this month with a successful pregnancy!
(TTC baby number 2, hoping for pregnancy number 4 which will be a success this time!) 🤞🏻

Yay for the positive opks ! Af just finished here so will be starting with opks myself soon and really going to try dtd more often to give us half a chance!

We're on month 4 TTC our first - and I'm almost 40 so there's just something nagging in the back of my head saying this is never going to happen.

However, I used OPKs this month and finally got a solid smiley for the first time ever - so my body is evidently doing something right. Ironically that coincided with the only 36hr period when neither DH or I have been in bed with flu-type thing so we DTD a couple of times. Now halfway through the 2ww, with slightly more hope than usual...

Stee1 · 12/01/2018 11:29

Finally a solid... good luck everyone 👍

Still high for me may get my peak tomorrow when we are away with 26 other people sharing a dorm 😑

Love2cook · 12/01/2018 09:25

Me too! Cycle day 12 today, being showing highs on the CBFM since day 8 but it's my first cycle using it so not sure if that's right. Hoping for my peak this weekend, possibly a bit later as cycles still longer after coming off the bcp.

AmazingGrace16 · 10/01/2018 21:36

Can I join?
CD 4 ttc#2 and we've been trying for about 6 months ish but last cycle was my first attempt at doing it on the right days etc.
I hate cheapy opks so thinking of getting a cb one. How do they work?

Stee1 · 10/01/2018 21:32

Still flashing smiley on the opk today think ovulation day will be Saturday as the apps say. I started with cd 8 as sometimes I ovulate a few days early

The whole process just seems to take so long doesn’t it! I’ve had a hellish couple of days in work so am taking the good of today only being cycle day 6 and enjoying a large glass of red! What day do you all typically start with opks?

TeddyIsaHe · 09/01/2018 12:36

Argh I forgot how long and annoying the tww is! Haven’t done this since I conceived Dd and thought I’d be way more chilled this time... nope!

Maidmummy · 09/01/2018 09:00

I'll join. TTC #3 on month 8 of trying and due to ovulate in the next 2 days.

Me and DP have decided to stop the ovulation tests, temping and DTD on the 'best' days and we are going with 'if it happens then it happens' approach. I am still continuing to take my seven seas trying for a baby vitamins but purely to help get my body healthy and baby ready for if and when it does happen.

Good luck ladies x

Trytrytry2018 · 09/01/2018 08:55

justanotherday4 thanks 💐 I hope so too 🤞 I decided to test OPK at CD 4 as I just had a feeling I was going to ovulate early this month. DTD as much as possible (twice this morning hehe). Will test from 9DPO because i’m Obsessed 😂

Stee1 · 09/01/2018 07:19

Mine is soon but still doing the deed lol still flashinf smiley today think my peak will be within next 2 days
