DisneyDiva87 TTC#1 cycle 3 BFP due 8th August

Need a second opinion on my opk (bought it in Asda this eve) and although I've read people talk about a faint line being near to ov and then darkening up over time, the instructions state that you need a darker line. So I thought i'd pop up a link to the pic I just took of it, I think it's pretty clear.

tinypic.com/r/2cffqlt/5

Now over looked at the pic, it doesn't look very visible.

Think my minds playing tricks on me. Think I'm just dying to ovulate now and get a +opk as never had one

There was def two lines

Jelly I have lines like that on my OPK pretty much all month... You will know when it's positive because the test line will be the same as the control line or darker

It's worth spending the extra money on clearblue digi OPKs because then you don't need to stare at lines all the time... Made my life a lot easier!

jelly def 2 lines but not dark enuf yet.

Loadsa ewcm for me yest but didn't get round to dtd til this morn. first time this cycle...oops Not really in mood, felt bit disrespectful as going to family funeral later. Still, needs must and he'd have understood.

Also not got round to opk-ing yet...I find the ic ones fine tho and given I just bought 50 more I'm bound to get upduffed right? Taking evening primrose for 1st time this mth in hope it helps ov aches and so far so good but I'm still couple days away I think. Also got mr pixie on zinc this mth.

Day 3 blood test back in - no cause for concern apparently which is relief but will speak to Dr on Mon. Find out next steps. Anyone else at this stage?

Yea, that's a negtive opk Jelly I get ones like that all the time same as Gilly

Paully the cup (is it similar to a moon cup?) won't keep the swimmers where they are meant to be, it'll just collect the seminal fluid, the sperm race their way inside and don't run out again (at least not that quickly!) It does sound like a cleaner option for post DTD sleeping though

Glad there's some other symptom spotters out there, I'm shattered again today despite going to bed early last night, boobs seem huge today too. Probably nothing though!

We managed to dtd on cd 11,13,14,15 and 17 this month, got a positive opk on cd14 so think prob
ov'd on cd15 or more likely 16 so hopefully there's enough swimmers waiting!

Glad you get on OK with ic opks too pixie, was starting to think I was the only one! Also good to hear your tests look OK, I don't really know what these tests are although ive seen them mentioned on here a few times, but pleased all looks OK.

Day 16 now am I going to completely miss everything this month? The app I've been using has now wiped my predictions for the whole cycle.

Thanks ladies! Big help.

One more question: who leaves there wee to stand in a pot for it to cool to room temp? Lol

...before testing with opk, I mean.

Not just for fun or a hobby ??

I do!

I don't. Why would you need to?

I think it's bcos it can create a false positive with condensation.

I just do it cos my ic pack tells me to, never really given any thought as to why!

I see. I've never had a positive with ic!!

Its weird isn't it, some people never had a positive, and some people get positives all cycle with them. Think I'm one of the lucky few, I get negatives, a couple of faint second lines followed by a really strong positive, then a weaker line again for a couple of days then its back to no line at all. Having said all that it might be all a big lie and I think I'm ov-ing when I'm not!

I get the feint line but its never got darker, even when my cb gives me a and I get ewcm/other ov signs.

My ics work line gets darker and very dark ov time and then fainter. I also get vvv sore boobd at ov time and then they are a couple days after so I get clear signs but they bloody hurt

Hello Jellybean!!

So I'm now between 2 and 5 days late for AF. Did a ic two days ago and nothing.

Have had cramping for about 4 days and keep expecting AF to arrive any second. TMI alert but have also felt like I've leaked and have dashed to the loo thinking the worst re AF but found nothing other than creamy cm.

Not really sure what's going on.

Hi everyone
Just checking in... Hope you're all well!
It's probably at least 2 weeks til I ovulate so I might be a bit quiet on here til then... Good luck to everyone... I'll poke my head in every now and then x

Ah freckles fingers crossed for you! Have you been regular recently?

Late this evening, I had a "woah" moment. You know when you just doing what you usually do, and then I stopped, arms out, looking like I'm balancing, and feeling very nauseous. Maybe it's a sign of ov. Does anyone feel sick around ov time? Been feeling strange (not in a sicky way though) all day. Weird.

freckles don't want to give you false hope but I had that with DS.....

No smiley face today ?? I'm never going to have a +opk.

None for me either Jelly. Fx we get one soon!
