Screw it... I'm going to test. Found the instructions online. Can do it any time of day from when AF is due. Wish me luck.

Hey ladies, little update from me. 8dpo ish today, had a wipe of dark brown yesterday and getting some proper pinching going on today. The FRERs are in the post! Aaahh!

Charm23 · 03/10/2018 13:49

@ValidUser Haha yeah I know, the temptation to test is definitely there. But if I took it and its negative am I then just gonna think "oh I haven't wait long enough?" lol If I had a cheap non-digital I'd probably take it.

ValidUser · 03/10/2018 13:40

@Charm23 you've held it for a while.

Not saying you definitely should, but I definitely would.

Charm23 · 03/10/2018 13:39

@Delilah7 Did you out your name forward? I can't remember where I found the online form but I did it a few months ago for a couple of months. Got £100 vouchers :)

Charm23 · 03/10/2018 13:38

@ValidUser I had no luck using Clearblue Digital Ovulation sticks :( I only got highs, no peaks. Apparently that can happen to some people. So I have no idea when I O and have to just BD all the time haha

Hmm so I could test today... do you think it would have to be FMU? I peed at about 9:30am

@Charm23 I want to be on the trial :(

@Charm23 I'm not! Gadgets are comforting and make me feel like I'm achieving something!

CB should be 99% accurate from day of missed period, so technically today?

Charm23 · 03/10/2018 13:32

@ValidUser Do you think the Clearblue Digital would definitely give an accurate result? I'm due around now but I suppose not technically late?

Also, are you on the Clearblue Clinical Trial?

ValidUser · 03/10/2018 13:30

@Charm23 do it!

ValidUser · 03/10/2018 13:29

So my clearblue fertility monitor said I ovulated on day 10. Other sticks disagreed.

Now it won't let me test any more but got a proper positive ordinary opk today on CD 16. I'm not pregnant.

Clearblue are sending me another pack of sticks for next month. They were really helpful, but now I'm just regretting not using the plain old smiley sticks!

Hi everyone
I've been following this thread as we are ttc #1, currently on cycle 7.
I'm on CD29 and due AF any time around now (average is 29) and very tempted to test but feel like I should wait a few more days.
I don't have any symptoms apart from I'm feeling a bit nauseous and "not quite right"
The only test I have in the house at the moment is a Clearblue Digital. I don't have the instructions any more so not sure when to use.
HELP! Do I take it now or wait (im)patiently? Would love someone to chat to!

@sundayshoes yeah I think it’s something that’s not quite so commonly known but for me I’ve been doing it for 10 months and by far the easiest way of knowing when you ovulate. I did it at first to stop myself getting pregnant (natural cycles) and carried it on. Only problem is you can’t tell at first when you’ll ovulate until after it happens so would keep an eye on other signs your body gives but it’s reassurance for me x

BabySquid · 03/10/2018 11:41

@SundayShoes I'd never heard of it before but I do it with good results.

SundayShoes · 03/10/2018 11:38

Hello!
I've seen I'm some of the more recent posts that some have been tracking your temperatures. Is this quite a common way of tracking your ovulation? I've googled it now but hadn't heard of it before

sunshine1987 · 03/10/2018 08:46

@mrsof20118 I’m sorry lovely, sending you lots of love xx

@FlapJackered so am I! Didn't want it to go on forever. defo just gonna start doing the deed from CD10 I think and onwards every other day if possible. Other half is unwell with a bad chest infection and he gets them for ages so fingers crossed he's up for it in a week or so hahaha xx

@Delilah7 i was actually quite relived when ah turned up for me in a way. It is just good to know where you stand isn't it. Sounds like a good PoA to me! 😉 xx

FlapJackered · 03/10/2018 07:43

@mrsof20118 I am sorry hun. I hope you're ok. 💐

@Crossfitgirl I didn't get any spotting before but what does your temp do? If your temp goes down on the first day of spotting I would count that as day 1 but if it doesn't drop until the main event then I would wait.
That is great they have agreed to do the tests. 🤞🏻 they come out normal for you!

Thanks @KatBeCool - get Dtd!!! 🐎 fertile week seems so far away for me but I am going to try and focus on exercise this cycle and I talked to DH and we are going to properly attempt smep this cycle. 😬

@mrsof20118 that mega sucks, I know what you mean tho that's how I felt, still doesn't stop it hurting tho. We're all here for you.
Apparently my FW starts today according to Flo. I really hope this is my month for a sticky BFP as I was hoping to avoid being pg for August (my 30th and I'm my besties MOH)

mrsof20118 · 03/10/2018 06:57

@Crossfitgirl thank you. Think I knew deep down just needed to see it in black and white so that I can stop overthinking.
Xx

Crossfitgirl · 03/10/2018 06:47

@mrsof201118 sending you massive hugs xxx
