I'm 2 DPO currently. I've got so much on this next coming week that I'm hoping the time flies by!!

@TTCno1in23 also waiting for ovulation 🥱 CD25 for me today (pcos and irregular cycles) and no sign of ovulation on an opk yet. Hurry up body!!

LotzW · 31/01/2023 19:22

@TTCno1in23 Currently on my period. Can't wait until it gets lost to start again! Gonna try and use some ovulation test me this month to help a bit.

How's everyone else? Xx

TTCno1in23 · 31/01/2023 18:27

How’s everyone getting on? I’m (im)patiently waiting for ovulation week! 😬

TTCno1in23 · 26/01/2023 15:59

@TunnocksTCake thanks for explaining! That makes sense 😊

TunnocksTCake · 26/01/2023 12:03

@TTCno1in23 If I remember rightly I think the rules with when to test are different with the clear blue ones and you just need to do it once a day (in the morning I think), its just the strips that you might need to do in the afternoon! I believe its because CB test for Oestrogen as well as LH but with the LH only strips, most people get their peak in the early hours but it takes until the afternon to show on the test.

TTCno1in23 · 26/01/2023 11:35

@LotzW I used the cheap strips month 1 and clear blue month 2 as I struggled to know if I’d actually peaked on the cheap ones! I start on CD12 as I ovulate later in the cycle and start DTD every other day from then until till I get the peak then try everyday for 2/3 days 😊 I did it around 11am and got a static smiley on the clear blue but have seen others say they only get it in the afternoon! It’s all very confusing 🤯

LotzW · 26/01/2023 10:23

@TunnocksTCake Thank you. Will give it a whirl 👍🏼

TunnocksTCake · 26/01/2023 09:41

@LotzW I think to start with you need to start testing when af finishes then the following months you will have a better idea of when your lines start to get darker and can test a little later if needed. It is a good idea to test twice a day when the lines get close to peak so that you dont miss it - I only ever get a peak in the afternoon and it doesnt last long so if I dont test 2 x per day I miss it. After amonth or 2 (if youre still going) you will get an idea of your cycle and can narrow down your window a bit so youre not using too many tests!

Hi.
Can someone help with opk's? We didn't use them when ttc baby 1 as we got pregnant on 2nd cycle.
Do I just start testing when af buggers off? I've seen some people test more than once a day. What's reasonable? I'm assuming we need to make sure we're dtd as lines get darker or? When the test is technically positive is that then too late or perfect timing?
Thanks, and sorry if I sound like a numpty!

Af arrived for me today. Strangely enough - it's now back to my 28 day cycle like it was before my mc. Don't know if that's good or bad. Tears tonight again but starting afresh tomorrow again 😪
