@candycrush2298 oh ok. I thought I'd missed out on some juicy gossip haha!

I think i rate the CB. I used the advanced digital this month for the first time as i usually use the ebay cheapies.
Ive been trying to convince since September no joy. I used CB this month and it showed my peak 1-2 days earlier than the strips (i was doing both). Im thinking i may have been missing my ovulation all this time. I dont know, if i fall pregnant this month then yup! They are good 😂

I check my cervix everytime i go for a pee incase its changed 🙈 clean hands of course. I couldnt do it in the shower, i just have visions of my husband walking in and being like what the hell are you doing woman hahaha!!

Is it Saturday yet?

@Kaybobx poison was sending us an Amazon link for a new laptop. Thats why it got deleted it wasnt conception related (possibly spam I dont know). As for OPKs whats your thoughts on the CB ones was it the Bluetooth one that links to your phone? As for your cervix OMG that sounds freaking on point how its supposed to. Ooooooh I'm crossing everything hoping AF is gone for a long time and you're growing a baby!!! I have no idea what the sharp shooting pain is but hopefully very good news like its telling you hey stop touching me I am trynna make a babe here haha!!! I only check in the shower in the evenings so will let you know about my position.

@poisson428 ooo what was your message that got deleted by headquarters above?!

@snapple21 @candycrush2298 so i just thought id check my cervix and as i touched it i got the sharpest shooting pain oooow i dont know what that was!! I hope ive not broken something haha!
I could barely reach mine it has got softer, feels like its blending into my walls if that makes sense?
God i think im crazy 😂

With OPK tests, i always used the ebay cheapies but this month thought id try the clear blue digital. I got a positive peak a day or two before with that than i did the cheap ones!

candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 14:02

@snapple21 yeah I also used the cheapie Ebay one this month. And I am on Ebay checking out prices and yeah they are a bit cheaper there so will likely buy one on the day if AF rears her head. I say IF because I am really hopeful. And I know what you mean it really is so hard to tell. At least the good news is that we on the final stretch by this weekend we will know.

snapple21 · 17/06/2020 13:57

@candycrush2298 I'm honestly not sure. It's so hard to tell!

I have used the cheap opk this month and they've been fine.

But as mentioned previously the clear blue monitor is great. You can pick them up a bit cheaper on eBay.

candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 13:40

@Jadeb1995 I have just been using cheapies from Ebay you can choose any really just remember with a cheapie test strip type OPK in order for it to be a positive the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control line. The CB ones are much clearer if you use the ones that are fancy and sync with your phone as they will give you a flashing smiley face for highly fertile and a solid smiley face for very fertile (the time that an OPK would have a dark line) i havent used them but did do extensive research they are expensive and you have to test everyday until you get a solid smiley face so you burn through a 20pack of ovulation tests in one month making it really expensive. If AF flow arrives this weekend I am going to buy a CB Fertility Monitor which is real expensive and the tests for it aren't any cheaper but they keep all the information for up to 6 months so will be great if we need to start going to the fertility clinic to see why its not happening. For you though because you still only been trying a few months I would really say use the cheap test strip OPKs from Amazon or Ebay and see how you get on before spending loads of money. Xx

Jadeb1995 · 17/06/2020 13:28

@candycrush2298 thank you for explaining that, it makes sense.
What OPK would you recommend?
Someone said about ordering a box from amazon. I've seen the clear blue ones but they are soooo expensive!

candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 13:27

@snapple21 nooooo do you think AF is going to show her head or just preparing yourself for in case it comes? At least your cervix is still high today each day is a day closer.

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 13:25

@Jadeb1995 yeah I use flow and because you don't ovulate the same day every month Flo is sometimes off. My cycle length also varies its typically 25 days but sometimes 24 and once or twice its been 27 days. Flow just gives a guideline when you start inputting OPK data and putting your start and end dates of AF into the app it starts to become a lot more accurate but again its just an app so using OPKs is a much clearer way to determine impending ovulation or not. I totally get wanting to test waters first we did that our first year I wanted it be natural but this far along in the game you start to use whatever tools you can get your hands on.

snapple21 · 17/06/2020 13:23

Sorry about the negative test @Kaybobx
I felt the same squinting at mine trying to make out I saw something.
I feel ok today, slightly tender boobs, not as crampy but I am at work so I am distracted.
My cervix this morning still felt quite high but getting harder I reckon. And plenty of time for it to drop before sat when af is due.

Jadeb1995 · 17/06/2020 13:20

@candycrush2298 I've been using Flo but thinking it's wrong as my period is 5 days early, I haven't used OPK's yet but thinking about it.
I've pre warned my other half that we are going to be dtd every other day next month!
Then if it doesn't happen I'm going full blown crazy with every ovulation product I can find haha!

@Pasto2 wow that is a really long cycle but at least because you test with OPKs you know and you can BD imagine you didn't test you would be thinking your period is late. Just as well you know your body and had a feeling to test with an OPK. On the downside yeah waiting a while to test really does suck badly!!!

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 13:10

@Kaybobx OMG!!! I cant believe we are so similar. I have planned exactly how I would tell him too!!!! On fathers day first time dad!!! Like it would just be so amazing!!!

OP posts:
Pasto2 · 17/06/2020 13:02

@candycrush2298
I know, it’s very strange and I thought I’d made the mistake first time it happened but no, both times 100% had ovulation symptoms and both confirmed using OPK. I first ovulated 7th June and then today, 10 days later. Wish I’d known as I’d have been baby dancing from them until now haha! The first time I ovulated twice was January this year and then the first week of February, it pushed my period back so that the cycle was 41 days in total with 2 ovulations, so I’ll be waiting even longer to test! Xx

Kaybobx · 17/06/2020 12:59

@candycrush2298 what's another 3 days! Ugh! Still hopefully too, it would be just the best father's day present on Sunday!! I've planned how in going to tell him already haha!!

candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 12:54

@Kaybobx Dr Google to the rescue!!! Yassss!!!! If we only implanted Monday that means by Sat if AF doesn't come we can test again and hopefully see double lines!!! Ah I am so hopeful its unbeleivable how bursting I am with how bad I want this.

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 12:51

@Pasto2 really? Wow thats rare but great news best get baby dancing!!!! Does that mean it will be a while now for AF to come like to keep the luteal phase between 11 and 14 days? Or do you just have a short phase and AF usually comes normal time? Sorry for all the questions this is really fascinating

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 12:49

@Jadeb1995 I know what you mean. 2 years first year we just started having unprotected sex and loosely followed my Flo app to track but we tried to keep it light and not too scientific. Then second year is where we really ramped up and started using OPKs, tracking CM and CP. Most months I am always hopeful and think something is happening but last month and this month I have been convinced who knows if anything may have happened last month like a chemical pregnancy. Are you using OPKs and tracking all that jazz or you not too crazy yet?

OP posts:
Pasto2 · 17/06/2020 12:35

Congratulations @Firsttymmum!! Great news for you!

I’ve had aching ovaries and more sticky CM since yesterday morning. I was just sitting thinking ‘If I hadn’t already ovulated, I’d think I was ovulating again...’ and then I remembered when I ovulated twice a few months ago. So I did an ovulation test and I’m ovulating again for the second time in a week and a half!! Gutted that it means I’m not pregnant but at least I get a second chance this month xx

Kaybobx · 17/06/2020 12:26

@candycrush2298 Dr Google says it takes 3-4 days after implantation until HCG can be detected. We're not out yet! Smile

Jadeb1995 · 17/06/2020 12:11

@candycrush2298 this is our 3rd month of trying so not long compared to other people but every month I get convinced that it's going to happen and then it doesn't!
How about you?

candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 12:06

@Jadeb1995 so sorry AF showed herself!! How long have you been trying 😔

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 17/06/2020 12:05

@Kaybobx I am the same if I turn it a certain way I think i see something but then when I look again whatever I saw is gone its totally our mind playing tricks on us its so annoying!! Now we just have to wait until Saturday I guess see what happens. I am telling myself if I only implanted on Monday I may not have enough HCG to be picked up yet...... yes I am that girl that remains hopeful until AF comes. Sad but true.

OP posts:
Jadeb1995 · 17/06/2020 12:01

I'm out this month, AF just appeared early.
Fingers crossed for you all xx
