Not really sure but its supposed to improve ovulation. Got pcos so anything helps. Will keep you all posted

Hai1988 · 13/10/2012 14:28

Yey my conceive plus has arrived today. Quite tempted to use it tonight, but as i only have the 3 dose trail pack do you think i should wait till my fertile period starts (thursday apartently)

Wha do you think?

Grannyapple · 13/10/2012 15:47

Ooh hello ladies...tentatively joining you as due AF next w/e & don't think we've made it this month (only managed to dtd 3 times this month so far!). Been ttc#2 only since July but feels sooo much longer. Tempted to start using opk's but sure if I cba trying to sneak about during work to go pee on then...

Ooh I'm kicking myself now...had some conceive plus kicking about from when trying to conceive ds (now 19 mo)...threw it out a few weeks back & it was unopened but I think had a use by date on it? Anyhoo, I should've kept the bloody stuff!

AWomanCalledHorse · 13/10/2012 19:41

Hai, I would give it a go now just incase you really like/don't like it (so you can order more or choose a different brand).

Granny, I can really see the advantage of using sticks & stuff, but reading the forums here/elsewhere it would seem like you're better off temping than soley using OPK's.
We're JS but DH asked me to use OPK's a few months back for a cycle, I personally found POAS that wasn't a pg test to be an odd experience!

Jelly found this thread on Soy Isoflavones, 74% got a BFP with their first month using them...sounds really promising!

I think I've got a positive, it's a very slim, light line...I'll have to continue testing this week....and won't be updating my stats until it's a BFP if that's alright Stairs?

JellyCurls · 13/10/2012 20:05

(Secret quiet fingers crossed for you horse)

pocopearl · 13/10/2012 22:09

JellyCurls · 14/10/2012 07:15

TakingTheStairs · 14/10/2012 12:13

Hai1988 · 15/10/2012 08:18

Hey morning all ill have some of that choc chip cake ginger :)

Dtd last night for with the concive plus so fx.

One question about opks tho, whens thens the best time to test with them? Or doesnt it matter

chookford · 15/10/2012 08:44

Morning ladies..

Right first things first.. anyone for a Brew and a biccie?!

And now...... how are we all this morning?!

Hai I have read that the best time to do opk's is around 2pm ish as in the morning your urine will not be concentrated enough and you also need to refrain from drinking for about an hour before you test.. but that is what I have read some of the other ladies on here may have a better idea!

Ginger there will be lots of hand holding going on dont worry and I will be front of the line if I can have a huge slice of that cake?! Grin

LexiLoganberry · 15/10/2012 09:17

Hi everyone, can I have a biccie chookford

I wondered if you lovely ladies might pop over to the oct bus for a few minute and read my posts today and see what you think I don't think you'll want my doom and gloom on your nice shiny new bus.

Gingerpanther27 · 15/10/2012 10:09

Hi everyone offers Brew
I have read that about opk too but sometimes it wasn't possible to POAS at that time for myself as I am a hairdresser (well trainee at a higher up level so my boss has the bit of paper to see I can do my bloody job Hmm Angry ) so it could vary between half 11 to 6 o'clock Confused when did it

chookford yep big slab of cake going your way Grin

Btw what does dtd stand for? Confused

TakingTheStairs · 15/10/2012 10:43

Morning all,
I'll have a Brew please chookford. no biccie though, I'm trying to be good.

Hi Lexi, I saw your Oct thread post. I have my fingers crossed that it all turns out okay for you still.

Hai I've been doing my OPKs first thing in the morning as it's the most convenient time for me. As long as you do them at the same time everyday you should be fine (with CB anyway). I do that and got a smiley last month so the OPKs we working (but no bfp unfortunately)

Hello esme80, I've added you to the bottom of the below list just yet because you never know, you still might get that bfp in October. Fingers crossed for you.
And the same for you Gingerpanther27. Keep positive for October (but of course we'll hold your hand as much as you'd like). And dtd means Do/doing/did the Deed (having some nookie)

Thanks Ginger am starving this morning!

Hai Yes as Taking said I think the most important thing is to make sure you do the test at the same time each day to get a clear understanding of what is going on!

here you go taking well done for refusing the biccie too!!

Lexi heres a biccie for you... and will pop over to Oct thread now...

Hai1988 · 15/10/2012 11:13

Ok thanks ladies

Hai1988 · 15/10/2012 13:23

I have a job interview on thursday, so im hoping its gonna be sods law and i get offered the job that this month will be the month :)

AWomanCalledHorse · 15/10/2012 14:13

Hai, book an expensive non-refundable holiday too, guaranteed BFP that way!
I was 12wks pg with DS when we went to a great gig (sold out Foo Fighters) & I had to leave early as I felt like crap, what other events/things could someone do to guarantee a BFP?? Grin

Lexi, if you'd had some bleeding between thur-now I would be tempted to say chemical pg, but Confused as to what it could be (either late bfp or really late AF).
I don't know what the tests are (I guess FR=first response?) but I've got my bfp off the internet cheapies...could you order some of them & resolve not to test until they arrive?
You're right though, it's not bloody fair!

Mmm biccies & tea. We've only got cookies in atm, they're rubbish for dunking!

JellyCurls · 15/10/2012 16:01

Someone on October bus mentioned that grapefruit juice is good for cm when ttc. Well i have to say its vile so can someone on November bus tell me that beer is good for cm, please?

On and soy iso...... update. Nothing to report except major headache all day and really thirsty, not for grapefruit juice though. But in the name of science and baby making i will continue. Only three more days of SI go go.

AWomanCalledHorse · 15/10/2012 16:50

Jelly, with both DS & this current one I had been drinking champagne the week before bfp (both times I'd literally only just started drinking again), so for me champagne=babies!!!
Maybe you can test my theory next time?

JellyCurls · 15/10/2012 18:55

Oh horse i do like that idea. If grapefruit juice fails this month i will def be putting your theory to the test (smile)

LexiLoganberry · 15/10/2012 20:23

Awomencalledhorse I spoke to the dr earlier and they said to take a FMU sample into the surgery for them to test and if result inconclusive then they would do blood tests, I was surprised because I really thought they would just tell me to go away.

I have been feeling crampy today and have a little brown staining in panty liner (sorry tmi) so have felt like AF is imminent but my AF doesn't usually take this long to start after the first signs, having said that nothing about this cycle seems normal.
