Eeek I am having a flashback to science lessons here . I had no idea that this could all be so complicated yet want to join in! I can't comment/compare yet tho given I'm only on my first month of temping & OPKs. Going to PIMP for my first OPK later even though I'm only on CD8 as my cycle can be as short as 25 days so that's what the Boots instructions say. Shag fortnight (I wish but might be necessary if you don't know when O is) week is imminent!! Let's hope it's better than this am when DP rolled over with a handful of THE SPERM KILLING LUBE!! before I realised what was happening & DTD before i was barely awake. To be fair he did have the good grace to admit after that it was the quickest & most selfish fuck of all time! I actually wanted to say no worries if that means you'll do it every day for a week but thought that might not be tactful when I need him onside for the next week or so!

Oh and Raining when you're upduffed I think you will need to call your DC Merkin in tribute Smile

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 12:14

ha ha frog so many times I have wanted to tell DH to be as quick as he likes during shag week. Be sure to let us know exactly what you see on the OPK...

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 12:15

I'll be a bit miffed if all my analysing gets you upduffed raining and i still fail to graduate! My sticks (yes i dipped an OPK for shits and giggles too) are snowy white [opposite of shocked emoticon]!

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 12:16

Not even a damned evap cos i love an evap

Frogcatcher · 13/03/2013 12:18

And then i remembered after we'd DTD that I hadn't temped yet so it was probably going to have messed that up. It was exactly the same as yesterday so that just showed how hot & bothered I'd got!! Wink

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 12:18

Er... I take it back. There is a faint line on the OPK?? Confused

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 12:20

WHERE HAVE YOU ALL GONE??? I need help! What is this weird line???

Itsalwaysraining · 13/03/2013 12:22

Eh? Why are you pissing on OPKs?

Itsalwaysraining · 13/03/2013 12:23

Frog, if you have short cycles you're probably wise to start POAS from today

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 12:26

Because lots of people get their first BFP on an OPK? LH is chemically very similar to HCG so an OPK will show +ive when pregnant. And I am bored and will happily piss on anything in sight to amuse myself.
Now why does it have a line?

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 12:27

Look this woman was pregnant and her OPK's were getting darker before she got her BFP

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 12:29

Explanation about why you get a line on a OPK when pregnant here

Itsalwaysraining · 13/03/2013 12:33

Ah. Now I understand. I very much doubt you can get a BFP at 7DPO. I believe the earliest implantation can take place is 5DPO (and that's pushing it). I was reading t'other day about conception and the article said that once the sperm has fertilised the egg in the fallopian tube, the blastocyst then remains in the tube for 3-4 days whilst merrily multiplying its cells. Only then is it ready to travel to the uterus to implant (a journey of between 3 and six days).

Merk, women who have dead short luteal phases get positive HPTs really early, I think? Or they may be using FRERs?

Frogcatcher · 13/03/2013 13:09

It might be the all-powerful law of Sod at work again Merkin. You get a new job then you get upduffed. Told you that it happened to my colleague after 7!! years of trying! Sod will also ensure that you have a really rubbish Christmas going to no parties whatsoever in December as you are either heavily pg or have a newborn. FX & toes too!

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 13:10

I need help now. Symptom spotting gone mad. I have weird cramps (except they're not cramps). I have just sat here for 10 minutes doing nothing just concentrating on them to check im not imagining them. Oh poor Berries you have another 5 days of me driving you mad. I am sorry

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 13:26

Either I didn't O when I thought (hard to believe given temps right now) and am O-ing, or I am having a weird LH surge for no reason or I am pregnant.
Anyone want to vote?

Itsalwaysraining · 13/03/2013 14:05

You are just wildly symptom-spotting. I would love you to be preggo, though.

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 14:10

liar Wink

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 14:18

this makes me happy

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 14:19

and this

Thunderbuns · 13/03/2013 14:28

Hello there. Just to add my two penneth worth (if I can get a word in). In Jan I had a very positive opk on something like day 20, in the afternoon. Was my first cycle of opk so wasn't sure of what is 'normal' but I wasn't pregnant. Obviously.

CatsCantFlyFast · 13/03/2013 14:33

Damnit! Grin
