I thought I'd start a thread for all those who will be starting out TTC this month, I'd be interested to see how other people get on, tips, moral support etc. We'll be starting TTC at the weekend!!
Please join me!

I know I've said before but this thread moves soooo fast!! I can't keep up!! Sorry to all the BFN's and boo to AF!!! At least we can focus on May club now. I had so many symptoms this month I am never trusting my body again!!!!
KitKat - I can see a line!!!!! Definitely a line!!! Congratulations :-) Xx

Popple85 · 29/04/2014 19:37

I see it too!

Ducky23 · 29/04/2014 19:38

Popple - no the novelty of poas NEVER wears off! I'm still bloody doing it now haha Smile

Tick - I used opks, your not meant to use them before 10am, I don't know why. It's best to do them twice per day, I did mine around 2.30pm and 7.30pm, it's best to do them at the same time each day. When you get two lines, the test line being as dark or darker than the control it means you are going to ovulate within the next 24 - 36 hours. Your not meant to drink much before doig them but I did which meant I never got a full positive, we just DTD every other day and everyday when I got a slight positive Smile I had the cheapos, not sure about the fancy cb ones!

Kitkat, I have the app on my phone so can't see the pic! Hmm But I hope kato is right!!!! GrinGrinGrin (it's a pg test right???) Massive congrats if it's a line! Mine was stupid faint. Smile

It was a one step preg test strip ducky.
trying not to get excited now. Hubby doesn't think it's anything lol!

That's what DH thought of mine too!!! And my first one you can't really see anymore unless you tilt it at exactly the right angle in the sun and squint your eyes! You can just about see a shadow then! I tried to take a pic but you couldn't even see anything on it!

Be careful with the fr ones off the internet, I got quite a few that must hae been fakes because although the leaflet said they were 10mui they came back negative even though I was getting positives with Asdas 15mui. They should have a see through lid, the crappy ones I got off net didn't. Smile

Ok thanks, that's a good tip. If they are I'm sending them back!!
I really don't trust that strip though. Am sitting here trying to see the line again now and i can't - dammit!!

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 29/04/2014 20:32

Are they the ones with the little blue end that you piac and dunk it in?

kitkatkaty87 · 29/04/2014 20:44

Yeah those are the ones. It say 10 mui on the back - is that most sensitive or least sensitive?

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 29/04/2014 21:02

That's the ones I used first! And I swear the line vanishes! I think youl find if you do a fr youl get a positive Smile

Oh and ducky how quickly did your line get darker from that first faint one?

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 29/04/2014 21:34

I did a first response and didn't use fmu the same day and it was faint, the rest of my tests were fmu, the next day it got slightly darker, the day after it was quite a bit lighter, darker the next day but still faint and then full blown dark BFP about two days after that so didn't get strong until about 4/5 days after the first test... Hope I made sense there Grin

Imustbecrazy26 · 29/04/2014 21:36

I can see it too! Congrats Kitkat!!!

lillamyy1 · 29/04/2014 21:43

Aaaaah!! kitkat, hopefully it´s a BFP!!!
Cupcake, sorry to hear about your AF - so cruel of her to keep you waiting!!
Ah well, May will be a good month for all of us, I know already :) My friend here in Spain has just found out she´s pg!!!!!! Now I can learn how to talk about all things ttc-related in Spanish!

Just done another test and looks negative to me :( i couldn't resist as they are next to the toilet!
Frustrating!

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 29/04/2014 22:23

Could it be diluted kitkat? Have you had a drink? Maybe try fmu and a first response, I don't trust then strips that much.

Congrats Kitkat!!! Hope that line gets darker !!

I'm home from my hols now :) happy to have my bed!!!

Ticktick · 29/04/2014 23:44

Thanks for the advice Ducky, I will persist with the opks next month. Ov window closed now for April, I'm in the may club but not greatly hopeful as we've had in laws staying with us the past few days so dtd has been less frequently. So inconvenient, don't they want us to make grand children for them, lol ;)

Kitkat are you late now? Hope you get a result soon. I think there was a faint ghost line on your pic. Fingers crossed for you x

Bugaboom · 30/04/2014 07:01

Kitkat- are you retesting this morning? Good luck Smile
