CSG (Thread 1)

@Kaybobx currently only ones in stock are the 50opks and 20pg tests but doubt you need more opks

www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DOJG6RA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PAOmFbW3574EE?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

@Kaybobx I bought them from Amazon but it looks like they out of stock guess they are a big seller lol. That sucks sorry hun. Other good brands are Wondfo but if you anything like me I want that one and not another one lol!!!

@Welliedays Tesco only has one brand so at least you won't get confused lol

@Kaybobx yeah but also bare in mind that you have a few days of positive opks there's no way to know which day you ovulated only that you did (confirmed by bbt) so you could be less dpo than you think you are. I would definitely say that the last two months those cheap opks probably missed your real peak and therefore you were off by a few days of ovulation. The most likely scenario is that you weren't actually 17dpo.

Yeah I havent touched that pack of pro matris opks after that disaster with the pg tests lol!!!

The pg tests of easy@home are also nice broad and sturdy. Definitely the higher end quality as far as strip tests go lol!!!

@Kaybobx whahahaha I know even in all the squinters I have looked at I havent seen early bfps on those tests not sure why I even bough them 🤣🤣🤣🤣 probably because they cheap🤣🤣

Yes a long luteal phase means your body gives the egg enough time to travel down to its destination. A short luteal phase is what causes all sorts of problems. Anything between 11 and 17days is normal and good. But obviously longer is better lol!! But as with anything too long is also a problem lol longer than 18days would be a issue and could be hormone imbalance and all that. So yours is still normal and good 🤣🤣

@Elakiya oh wow how nice of the original poster to share with you what she used. I keep seeing COQ10 but the ubiquonal (excuse my spelling lol) version as thats best but haven't done any actual research on it just what I keep seeing people say they took when they got their BFP but yeah never seen soy Isoflavones until you mentioned it hahahaha!!!

The other vitamins are in my pregnacare vits so not too phased about those.

Lol I would never complain if I had twins but I would be eternally grateful if I got my bfp hahahaa regardless of it theres one or two in there 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Elakiya I agree I also think they are way better than the ebay cheapies that are so thin and terrible. So I will buy them again.
Lol I did that so many times. Hahahaha I know the feeling.

OK whoop whoop can't wait to hear what Fridays test says.

@Kaybobx hahahaha yeah you are really early and those are terrible tests 🤣🤣🤣

17days wow thats really good though to have such a long luteal phase I am jealous hahahaha!!

Lol I think because no scientific studies have actually been done on it to see the effectiveness so doctors cant recommend what desperate ttc women do🤣🤣

@Kaybobx was yours 100% negative not even a hint? Sorry you got a negative😒

@Elakiya yeah I think with any cheap test though there is margin for error and evaps/indents are way more common on strip tests. Its just the price we pay for wanting to test early using cheaper strips lol!!! Well let's hope your indent turns into a real positive in the next few days. Really holding thumbs xx

@Kaybobx whats the longest your luteal phase has ever been? Was last cycle the longest?

I know and some of the threads I read were from 2011 its like whaaat its been about for years and I have never heard of it whahahaha I have been on the "market" for pregnancy tips for 2 years how did I miss this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah at this rate not this cycle but next cycle I will be closer aligned to you ladies hahahaah.

@Kaybobx omg 7 days at least you onto the final stretch now lol!!!

Yeah H&B are also very powerful which is why they so expensive like 750mg where as for what we want it for we should never exceed 200mg.
The tesco ones are 40mg so I am taking 3 (120mg total)
Didn't know you were following the thread hahaha thats fab did you see all the success stories I am blown away!!

Yeah finishing AF today and will start BD'ng tomorrow.

@Kaybobx @Elakiya think you two are are having a really similar cycle. Its still early though for both of you. When is AF due for you @Kaybobx?

@Elakiya a sign of ovulation???? But your way past ovulation now lol!!! How bizarre. And I am sure that them being erect would be sore!!! Argh hope you feel better soon. And I am sorry the test is negative.

Yeah I would also just work it from first peak because you need something to work with on a daily basis hahaha cant be stumbling around. First peak is probably best. Still hoping for you hun!!! Someone has to bring us an April baby from here hahahah!!

Yeah do some research and see if it can work for you with what you on. I am really feeling so rejuvenated about this cycle I cannot thank you enough even if this cycle turns into another BFN you lifted my mood up 💜
