TTC any which way DP CM BT OPK Grapefruit drinking ....

The line was pink, just very very pale pink. Will no doubt not be able to resist testing tomorrow now too... Wish I had the strength to stop myself testing now till sat. How can I do it???!

Yellow - You are not a horrible person in the slightest, you're completely normal! I am the same, my sil is ttc, I want her to conncieve just as much as myself in my mind and would be pleased for her if she did. BUT I know for a fact if she concived and I hadn't i'd also be deeply upset it wasn't me and would feel a pang of jelousy too. I'm sure she'd be the same also if it were the other way round. Your time will come, lets hope soon!

C1ndy - Sounds like the BD is going well Hope you've hit the jackpot already

Sounds like all bases covered cindy - well done. Exhausting isn't it?

Hi Cindy I've never temped, but from what I've read, after you've had the three temp rises, that confirms ovulation has occured so it is usually too late - so good for establishing your usual ov day for the next cycle.

One you ovulate, the egg will live for 12 - 24 hours, so it is better to have BD'd before ovulation, so there are some swimmers there ready and waiting for the egg.

I think a positive OPK generally means you are about to ovulate in the next 12 - 24 hours.

I sometimes get two sets of ov cramps, around 12 hours apart - no idea why. Each of my pregnancies have been conceived on the night before ovulation - I just know when that is because I get a peak of EWCM that day

Hope that helps a bit ?

Thanks both.
Xx

Yellow you are not a horrible person it is totally natural to feel the way you do as you want to be PG so much. The fact that you feel bad about feeling jealous is proof that you are indeed a very nice person, TTC is a very testing time and it hits all the emotions, so don't feel bad.

great news dalrymps.

Why is it I can be pleased for you guys - and I genuinely am - but a friend told me she is pregnant last night and I feel really upset. I should be very pleased for her too - she has been trying the same amount of time as me. I just feel really sad about it though I don;t think I let her see that. It is silly because when (if) it happens forme then I want people to be happy for me of course. I am a horrible person.

Dalryimp - I'd be cautiously optimistic in your shoes

Was there any colour in the line ? Evap lines are pretty much clear, but if there was any pink / blue dye in the line, it is more likely to be a BFP.

Fingers crossed !

I'm a bit confused. It says on the test instructions not to read the result after 10 mins.

I went back to the opk this morning and there was a very faint line on it...

I don't want to get excited if it's just an evaporation line but it really doesn't look like an evaporation line, it's a definate line!

Yes, i used first morning urine

A line is a line Darly how exciting!

Re OPK as HPT I did an experiment last night with my left over Clearblue digital OPK test and got a smiley face so it means they do work as a HPT!

Hello everyone, just popping in to see how you are doing

Dalrymps weeeellllll?? have my fingers crossed for you

Pinky huge congrats thats fab, as the ladies say rest up relax take it easy

Hi funtime have you been to the midwife now? How did you get on if so?

Jools hugs, sorry you are feeling crap

wasabi great news re scan

Hello to all of you not mentioned.

OMG I daren't get excited but... I just did a tesco test (lol I know couldn't wait) and nothing at first so I came downstairs with ds. After about 10 mins I thought i'd double check it and there's a very faint 2nd line!

Was this too late to go back and check it? Does this mean it's invalid?

Tried an opk but nothing.Hoping it's just too early to tell...

Ah interesting C1ndy... Haven't tested yet... I got dh to drop me near a shop I know sells cheap tests when we went shopping earlier but it had just closed, damn!

I have a double pack of tesco tests but I kinda want to save them till i'm almost positive I am pgt then use of of them to test and one to reassure me a few days later...

We're a bit skint at the mo too so can't really afford to waste a money on a first response if it's neg. Sooo, i can either wait (very hard) and use the tesco one if my AF is late or play around with the opks I have. I have read though that when using an opk as an hpt it is a lot less sensitive so might be too early to try that method? At what point did you test with one?

Jools - Sorry abou AF, good luck for this month.

Yellow - Hope the tests are helpful.

Hi cindy. Yes, had first appt about 6 weeks ago and got follow up after all tests done at end of august.

sorry jools - I missed post aboutyour af I think.

Hi cindy - been trying - well we've not used contraception for nearly 2 years. Officially been trying - ie making sure we got right dates etc, for a year. I've been temping about 9 months.
