Morning all. Hi somuch sorry to see you here, in the nicest possible way. Good luck this time.
semirural my mum also snuck a baby names book into a bag of stuff she gave me yesterday. Thanks for that then.
Re. Ovulation tests. I had resisted so far until this cycle, but have given in in ligjt of my inability to get an appointment with the GP. I bought the CB digital, but not advanced. So the ones that give you a circle or a face, no flashy!
I started cd7 (although the leaflet advised 8 i felt that could be late given my short cycle)
Cd7 - circle
Cd8 - smiley!!
Cd9 - circle
Cd10 - circle
So, it seems i ovulate much earlier than average. My app suggests i ov on cd14!!!
Just been back through my 'tracking' and we have never dtd on cd 7 & 8! We've done 6 and 9 butnever 8. So far, this time we managed 6 & 8 so i hope thats enough.
poly i read the leaflet thoroughly last night, and it said it pinpoints my best two days. Once i get the smiley it says i should dtd in the next 48hrs. So if you get cracking today you should hopefully still catch it. :-) I guess the flashing smilies give you more of a warning.
I suddenly feel like i've not done enough! 2 days before smiley, then the day of the smiley. I guess i could have tried for last night too.
Anyway, i think its a good idea to try ov tests as i have been targeting a good 6 days too late.
