Congrats to alk the bfps! I love it that there are more bfp than days so far!

Good luck to all tomorrow.

My af is a bit half arsed tbh. Nothing on pad all day but stuff when i go to loo. Not much. Do i count from when it turns 'proper'?

I bought 2 packs of 5 opks from wilkinsonstoday. The dippy cheapish sort. What day should i start with a 23 - 25 day cycle?

m33r · 17/10/2013 21:12

Hmmmmm notta I'd start 2 days after AF goes. So cheap and no biggie getting negatives on opks. You could be very early or very late. I know its expensive but notta I highly recommend getting the digis for when you think that dark line has appeared. The smiley is amazingly reassuring and it means you won't doubt yourself retrospectively. I've started photographing my opks as I start to doubt mysf ... Even with the smileys!

Happy opk-ing!

m33r · 17/10/2013 21:14

Not sure if that was clear - use cheapies up to that dark line then use one diggie with that pee, then a diggie the next day... Then back to cheapies to see the line has gone. Then to the 2ww.

ImaginaryHat · 17/10/2013 21:30

Wow congratulations Panic, argyle, girlsgot, cotton and curlywurly. Hope I didn't miss anyone!

There are some lovely supportive posts on here these last few days (as there always are really), this place really is a godsend, you ladies are all awesome!

Sparrowlegs248 · 17/10/2013 21:37

Thanks ladies....so the digis, how many goes do you get with them?

allchatnicknamesgone · 17/10/2013 21:46

Um, if its clearblue I think you get 10. I have a 28/29 day cycle and never use more than 6 or 7 really and I don't use the cheapies (should do really), but I get loads of cm and cramping so just use sticks to gauge it more accurately.

m33r · 17/10/2013 21:50

notta the packs I buy have 7. I use one when I think the line is dark, usually I'm right and get my smiley. Next day I use one again (only if the cheapie is still dark) and will sometimes get a smiley again. I would then use agin til smiley goes. I then do the cheapies for one more day to see the line fade. So each month, can be up to 4 but as little as 2. It's so reassuring!

m33r · 17/10/2013 21:51

So 2, or 4 diggies and like a million cheapies!

funkymonk · 17/10/2013 23:33

Congratulations new bfps!! Would like to keep eye on poas party but can't find thread. Can someone post a link?? Thank you!
18 dpo here. Af due 12/13dpo. Bfn everyday. I don't think I'll ever take vitamin b6 again. It was meant to be helpful but massively delayed ovulation and now abnormal luteal phase! Cycle day 41 so far of usual 29-30 day cycle!!!! Unlucky cycle 11 for me. Cycle 12 better be the one! Made up for all bfp's especially the 2 11 cyclers! I know just how long and hard that amount of time is!

VickyVix · 18/10/2013 00:24

Oh wow congrats to the BFPs!! Such great news Grin this bus is mega

Good luck to all those POAS in the morning, really hoping you get good news :)

jaykay987 · 18/10/2013 05:26

Hislommel, hislommel - where are you? Wakey wakey!
BFN for me on IC. Boo! Do you have better news for me?

Funky. How did you pinpoint ovulation?
If you're really certain (ie temps) then dpo18 is very promising - regardless of BFNs.

If you just used opks.....how long did you keep using them? I had two sets of highs this month (I didnt think it was vit b related, but guess it could've been). So perhaps you ovulated later than you thought?
If I wasn't temping, Id think I was dpo18 today too. But cause Im temping I know Im dpo14.

HisLommel · 18/10/2013 05:32

Morning morning morning! BFN here too. I wonder who the lucky ladies will be! Will try again with SMU before I leave for work even though I know it will be the same

jaykay987 · 18/10/2013 05:37

Very annoying. How you feeling today?

My "symptoms" are hanging around........bored now. I just want to know either way so I can enjoy a large glass of wine tonight!

jaykay987 · 18/10/2013 05:47

In other news.........FF has assessed me as 82 on the pregnancy monitor this morning. Apparently any score over 80 has a 70-90% higher probability of being a pregnant chart.

So that, together with my FF detected triphasic bbt.....FF stats thinks Im due my BFP!

I've never had such a high score....must be top of the class! Smile

HisLommel · 18/10/2013 05:56

Oooh jaykay that's good news!

I'm okay - bit fed up with the BFNs and confused at all the symptoms but no lines but perhaps the "test from 6 days early" is just marketing fluff and maybe I'm just too early.

Symptoms - sickness, lightheadedness, beginnings of SPD (pelvic pain from previous pregnancies), stretchy cramps, tiredness, frequent weeing... Sure I've forgotten some. I know it's still early but I think I might start preparing myself for AF.

jessieagain · 18/10/2013 06:12

My goodness this bus is busy! Congratulations cotton and curly

That's great news jaykay

jaykay987 · 18/10/2013 06:16

When you due hislommel? Im tomorrow.

HisLommel · 18/10/2013 06:21

I'm not 100% sure as this is only my first cycle after coming off the Mirena (no periods for 9 months!). I think I'm due on Monday.

sazzlehopes · 18/10/2013 07:46

Girls can I ask you. This month I had no ewcm that I could see,whereas normally I do get some around my ov time. But I did get a peak on my cbfm machine and that same day I got pretty major, what I thought were ov cramps. Do you think it matters that I didn't have the cm?

allchatnicknamesgone · 18/10/2013 07:46

Lying in bed holding wee. Thinking shall I pee in pot and keep it all day to see if AF comes or just pee in toilet.

Arh. Decision. I just can't stop thinking IC would have detected it at 14 Dpo.

Fuck it. I'm going to dunk a test.

Choccywoccydodah · 18/10/2013 07:50

Dunk allchat!

Sazzle I've started to use conceive plus as I don't get a lot of ewcm. It's easier for the spermies to swim through ewcm so would recommend you do something to help them if you don't get a bfp this month.
I've just started drinking grapefruit juice too as that's supposed to help.

So, I have fmu in a pot upstairs, dh still in bed. I thought I'd have a go to join in, but haven't dunked yet haha!

Come on bfps!

OP posts:
funkymonk · 18/10/2013 07:53

Hmmm. No I don't temp anymore. It's impossible having a puppy who gets me up early and when I would have had chance I tend to forget! I had positive opk day 23 and negative day 24. I always have Ov'd same day as positive opk when I did use to temp, but I know it fan change month to month. Can't it take a couple of days for temp to go up after ovulation or does it go up straight away? Good luck jaykay

mama31 · 18/10/2013 07:54

Bfn for me! But the party is extended to all wkend!!! So come join ladies :) :) :)

funkymonk · 18/10/2013 07:56

*can not fan. Too early for checking what autocorrects been up to!
I found the party but a bit rowdy in there for me at this time of the morning (especially the pj and duncan tunes) so I snuck off back to bed.

funkymonk · 18/10/2013 07:57

Sorry mama. Will call into the party later!
