Writerwannabe83 · 08/12/2013 09:01

Your line looks exactly like how mine did MissV when I first started testing - congratulations!!!!! Smile

And congratulation to Science too - how lovely to have some BFPs to wake up to, and so near Christmas too!!!!! Smile

laravh · 08/12/2013 09:06

So I'm using the CB dual hormone OPK. Had my first fixed smiley on Friday. So I'd assume in ov'd yesterday. But FF doesn't seem to be confirming it based on my data. I had very little ewcm this month and my temp has been very erratic. Do u guys think I've def ov'd?
Thanks in advance! Smile

Missvaughan85 · 08/12/2013 09:07

Oh writer thanks so much, I was feeling a bit worried as I assumed it would be dark especially after af, but the. Cycles have been longer the past two months, did your ever get any darker x x

ReginaFelange22 · 08/12/2013 09:07

Congrats ladies!! That's fab for Christmas!!! How exciting! In waiting for ov just now cd11, so should be arriving soon!! xx

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 09:10

Owlie I'm older too!! I just had a little google about them and they're on offer on Amazon....still a lot of money though but would be worth it if they workGrin

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 09:14

oh I don't think that link will work! Computers aren't my strong point!!

Missvaughan85 · 08/12/2013 09:16

I don't use the clear blue fertility monitor, it was so expensive, I used my boots points to buy the one down from that, I didn't want to invest in something that expensive just incase I got one use out of it. I had the one that shows you your four most fertile days, the only down side is that you get ten sticks, so if you test to early you could run out.

MundayCakes85 · 08/12/2013 09:20

Congratulations Science and MissV you both must be over the moon. What a lovely early Xmas present.
9 dpo here and temp still high, been v tired the last couple of days, but that might have been the mammoth Xmas shopping expedition yesterday!
Who's testing next?!?

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 09:22

Thanks MissV I have quite a few Boots points so I might go and have a look.

Sazzle I think you use the CB fertility monitor, is that right?

ScienceGeekGirl · 08/12/2013 09:25

Sorry for delayed details. Not a lot of DTD this month
DTD CD12,13,15
OV CD14
Needed to wee a lot since DPO8
Also spotting from DPO8 to DPO11 so thought I was out.
Still keep expecting to start any min as currently DPO13 but lines is definitely there although may try to work out how to post a pic on here so I can get a bit of reassurance.

Writerwannabe83 · 08/12/2013 09:31

Miss V - I first got my BFP on the day my period was due, 14dpo, and used a CB (same one you have) and a FRER. both lines were very faint that my husband wasn't very convinced Smile I tested again the next day with another FRER and some IC and there weren't any lines - I obviously went into panic mode!!

I sent my husband out to get a CB Digi and although my lines on the previous tests had been really faint, the CB Digi said 2-3 weeks. My husband couldn't argue with that Grin

I continued to test through the week and month and when I hit about 18-19dpo that's when my lines starting getting darker and there was no questioning it Smile

ScienceGeekGirl · 08/12/2013 09:33

Uploaded a pic. Tell me what you think pls Confused

Writerwannabe83 · 08/12/2013 09:35

I don't think there's any arguing with that science Grin

MundayCakes85 · 08/12/2013 09:35

Science that is most definitely a line! Love to hear that you can get pregnant without DTD like its an Olympic event! Have you worked out when you'll be due?

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 09:35

Science.....I can see a line!! Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 08/12/2013 09:37

Science - your stats were interesting as I got my BFP from only DTD twice....we were quite lazy actually Hmm My first sign was also constantly needing to have a wee at about 9dpo , it drove me mad Grin

ScienceGeekGirl · 08/12/2013 09:39

19th Aug according to NHS. Long way to go till that actually comes to pass.

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 09:42

It's great to hear that you don't have to dtd loads to get that bfp!!Grin

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 09:48

Congratulations missv and science!! So happy for you both!!

I got my 3rd flashy face this morning. I use cb ovulation test (digi) with dual hormone indicator. 20 sticks. And I. Going to start using them 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening because I read your body can ovulate within hours after getting a flashy and by evening it could change to be a solid face. So to up your chances and get more accurate results to do it every 12hrs instead of 24.

Long post I know... hope it makes sense

Writerwannabe83 · 08/12/2013 09:50

I know spinning - me and DH don't have the highest sex drives or most active sex lives so was worried as to how we'd manage after having read posts on here the extent that some couples go to in order to DTD so often. It didn't help either because it just felt so strange having sex for a 'purpose' Grin

Polkadot1 · 08/12/2013 09:51

Great news sscience and missV! Many congrats! Come and join the Aug antenatal thread! I'll be hanging round too- willing lots more BFPS x

Missvaughan85 · 08/12/2013 09:51

Science there's no denying that line!!! I've been using ic and I had nothing on them at all, it does make me wonder what dpo I am. Why is it when you get your bfp your doubting it!!! Argh!!!

LittleOwlie · 08/12/2013 09:53

Hi guys,

I think I'm out...I have AF pains this morning and a BFN. Interesting as if AF arrives today, I've had a 28 day cycle and I thought I was 30/31 day cycle.

I'm going to get DP to order that CBFM now! I'm actually quite excited about it! I love new gadgets!

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday! Grin
