@Shortandsweet96 I used to use the one step ov strips but I never once got a second line that was as dark or darker than test lines like it states you should, that's why started buying CB digital ones online instead, takes out all the guess work

Kinsella82 · 20/03/2019 14:33

@HeartvsHead haha! They're good for something so 😂😂

Shortandsweet96 · 20/03/2019 13:48

@Heartvshead still faint, no positive. Running our of OPKs and AF due next Friday so assukingni haven't ovulated or ovulated very very early.

Wasnt too bothered this month as I was so poorly but now I'm abir sad that i haven't even been able to spot when i ovulate :( never mind. On to the April bus!

HeartvsHead · 19/03/2019 22:38

@Kinsella82 they are the ones I had. Can't comment on there effectiveness at detecting ovulation but they worked a treat for detecting I was pregnant 🤣

Kinsella82 · 19/03/2019 21:22

Haha it's hard not to feel paranoid though isn't it?! Fingers crossed they're ok for both of us! I'm probably just going to O late

@agteacht everything crossed you got it!!

Yes I got them from amazon. They're "one step" brand. I've heard mixed things about them but I'll keep going with them and hopefully I will get some insight!

Do you use the amazon cheapies @Kinsella82?

We DTD day of peak and next day. Like in a panic because it came so unexpectedly 😂😂😂

Kinsella82 · 19/03/2019 19:40

Still no sign @agteacht so I won't get my hopes up yet. Still dtd every second day. Not sure u I trust these opks either!
Did you dtd anywhere near the day yo think you ovulated?

agteacht · 19/03/2019 19:05

You might get it in the next few days @Kinsella82

My problem is the opposite... I've ovulated much sooner than usual and only DTD twice - the irony, most months it's like almost every day over a two week period!!!

I am going to keep POAS though in case i get a second surge... don't trust my OPKs now!

Kinsella82 · 18/03/2019 20:07

Cd14 for me now and apart from a couple of very faint opks there's been doing darker to indicate anything happening at all.
I was hoping this cycle would settle down into a shorter time frame.
Been dtd every second day since cd 8.

HeartvsHead · 18/03/2019 18:56

How is it looking today @ShortandSweet96?

I would think it's on its way just not peaked yet. Fingers crossed! You might be ovulating later than you thought. Apps often assume a 14 day literal phase which not every one has.

I think you still will, it's just late

Shortandsweet96 · 17/03/2019 09:52

Can someone make sense of my OPKS?

I started them the day before my fertile period, did another today which is the day after my fertile period.

None of them are positive but the line is definitely there.

Have I not ovulated? These OPKs have me so confused!

Too true.

Annoying that it's called a cycle. Implies it is predictable but I think for most people they are anything but!

Hmmmm
It's really hard to say what all that could be @Shortandsweet96
You just never know, @HeartvsHead is a great example of this!! But I think it really is a case of waiting and seeing...

Shortandsweet96 · 17/03/2019 04:23

@agteacht last AF was 25th of Feb. Only DTD the beginning of March. Fertile window was 10th-16th March. Had weird spotting on the 10th and 11th of March.
I wouldn't have put it down to implantation but now they doctor has said it its stuck in my mind, Hope's are up and I know for no reason this month! Agh.

Hopefully @Shortandsweet96 !

Where are you now I'm your cycle, when was your last AF?

OP posts:
Shortandsweet96 · 16/03/2019 20:50

Fab news! @heartvshead

@agteacht looks close! Hopefully will be full blown positive OPK soon!

I've been doing OPKS since the start of my fertile period and still nothing, last day of so say fertile period today so not feeling very hopeful at all. Quite worried that I haven't even came close to a positive OPK.

Really hoping I ovulated extremely early and have caught it just right and that why I was spotting. But I have a horrible gut feeling I haven't ovulated at all.

Crazee · 16/03/2019 19:00

@agteacht that looks promising! Potential earlier ovulation for you this month Smile

agteacht · 16/03/2019 17:12

Hmmm any advice on this OPK ladies?

I am CD13, not meant to ovulate for another 10 days according to my app but I think it's a bit closer based on this.

I’ve been off my earl grey tea and coffee since getting my bfp but had a cup of coffee this morning....Had a huge craving for it so couldn’t resist!

HeartvsHead · 16/03/2019 07:45

@Scottish1 the only time I seem to feel a bit iffy is if I go too long without food so feel you there!

I've now read the report properly and there are a few different dates mentioned in it. One of the measurements (GSD) comes out as 8 weeks. Another (CRL) comes out as 7 weeks and heart rate comes out as 7-8 weeks! The 6+4 is done off my LMP and is three days ahead of LMP as she has included the one tiny spot I said I had as the start of my period.

She did day due date would be end of Oct/early Nov so that would fit with 6-8 weeks. Not really any the wiser. Will have to wait till scan I guess!

From googling in the early bit it is very hard to accurately date. Guess that part of the reason why they scan later. Also says once heartbeat is seen miscarriage rate drops below 5% whereas before that it's much higher so that's encouraging!

Scottish1 · 16/03/2019 06:53

That’s great news! @HeartvsHead ❤️

Thanks @HeartvsHead and @Doris19 hopefully all fine

Good luck to you all entering the DTD marathon!

I am still a little while away but hopefully soon

Great news about your scan @HeartvsHead - I had thought you would be further along but amazing you've heard the heartbeat already ❤️
