BFN this morning ☹️ and temp drop so onto the next cycle. I knew it was unlikely but doesn't make it feel any better.

Yes IC type but pic says one line means negative as does two lines unless test as dark or darker than control. Only been temping a few days so not much to show yet.

@VeganMedic what type of opks r u using? Is it IC because mine say if its only one line then the test is void did u wait 4hrs before poas? I know they vary from test to test what the lines mean ❤

I’m confused today. Temp low but opks not showing a second line at all now so don’t know if I did ovulate within last 48 hours. If so think chances this month slim as only dtd once around that time. Know what you mean about trying to spice things up-dp has a slightly wary look about him these days as if I’m always ready to pounce

That's good news @thisisouryrfx18 ! Lucky DH 😂
That is one active chart! mine is much the same before ovulation. Mine is reassuringly stable since ov which is nice, even if it ends up being a bfn.

How is everyone getting on?
@Aph413 have you finished this cycle yet?

I am on day 54, but think AF is on her way. I am going to test tomorrow anyway if she doesn't arrive today but I think it's unlikely this time.

@Lilsquish thanks hun x @Veganmedic depends on the make of opk some u need both lines to b the same darkness for a + but id say its a bit early for u to b ovulating most ppl have a luteal phase of about 14days 💜

Veganmedic · 18/06/2018 13:26

Started opk testing and temping today. After no positive opks last month at all (although started testing late in cycle I think) I have two lines today. But test line not as dark. Does this mean approaching ovulation or missed it? I’m CD16 or a 40 ish say cycle. We DTD coincidentally this morning so hoping approaching ovulating rather than missed it!

Lilsquish · 17/06/2018 22:22

Oh i know!

My OH had that test a couple of years ago and all was fine thankfully.

But might need to get it repeated.

Hope everything goes well with ur bloods x

@Lilsquish theyr digital ones so they r more expensive thats why i only get them from groupon or wowcher lol fx its both our turn this cycle ive not got my blood tests until the 28th feels like an eternity thats before i even get the results uuugh oh has docs on the 21st to get the ball rolling with SA feel for him wouldnt fancy that

OP posts:
Lilsquish · 17/06/2018 11:07

Are they the individual test strips or is it the digital one you use?

Really hope this is ur positive cycle! Xx

@Lilsquish i never had a +opk until i used clearblue u should look for them on groupon etc they always do deals on them..i always end up thinking that if i had a normal cycle id know if i was pregnant by now lol im on cd22 so i think its the start of my fertile wk fx !

OP posts:
Lilsquish · 16/06/2018 23:38

I do. But always worry that theyre not reliable.

I just get the cheap ebay ones.

Not due to ov for another 19 days (according to my app that is)

If i had a 'normal' 28 day cycle it would be now. Gahhh so annoying.

What cycle day are you on thisis?

thisisouryrfx18 · 16/06/2018 17:58

@Lilsquish do u use opks? I feel as if theyr more reliable than temping my chart always changes my ovulation date is soo annoying

OP posts:
Lilsquish · 16/06/2018 17:40

Def gonna look into getting it for next cycle

although hopefully wont need it as il have a huge big bfp lol

Aph413 · 16/06/2018 10:40

It's been great lilsquish this is my first full cycle so obviously it's possible it's not got it right yet.
Easy to insert and I only find it a little uncomfortable when my cervix is really low. Other than that it's brilliant, I got it because of work patterns too.

FlapJackered · 16/06/2018 01:33

I think it must have it wrong @Aph413 I reckon you ov'd cd30.

Lilsquish · 16/06/2018 00:19

How are you finding it to use?

I work shifts so wouldnt be able to temp the normal way x

Aph413 · 15/06/2018 23:40

Yes I have ovusense lilsquish

Lilsquish · 15/06/2018 20:42

Aw that us frustraiting Aph!

Is it you that uses the ovusense?
