genni I've been using them for a few months. Was doing them once daily middle-of-the-day ish when a bit dehydrated but still not getting good lines. Last month I waited til I had a reasonable line then did 4-5 per day for a couple of days - so one every few hours. Got a fairly convincing positive by doing this (I think it might have been sunbathing who suggested that). So planning to do the same this month. Good that the ic ones are so cheap!

Genni love your DH attitude! 'Those bastard sticks'!

I have only done 2 in my life, they said on packet between 10.00-20.00 with 14.30 being optimal. For ease I did them when I got in from work at about 17.00-17.30. I don't drink much generally so I think I was probably dehydrated ;)

Hi Furtive Clomid and over stimulate some women to have loadsss of eggs and therefore trying that month would be a huge risk for multiple pregnancy's and therefore more strain on the mother so they advise you not to try. Im not sure how my body is going to handle one let alone more (I have a double curvature of the spine and most of my joints are buggered).

Sorry to hear so many of you are stressed in your jobs, my jobs relatively easy most of the time but with my boss being off for over a month a while ago and only working half days due to his cancer its just me most of the time and it can get a bit to hectic sometimes. I then try and remember that some people have it so much harder and I just make the most of my down time especially with having no children I still have some.

Lordy, well done on all the dtd Wink

Sunbathing lolGrin

Blueberry ooh that sounds good that you get to see how it's going with a scan. Fx for a nice healthy egg.

Genni, I agree with the advice about testing 3 times a day. I always drink lots of water and they seem to work ok.

Thanks ladies! I've been doing a cb in the morning and an ic one at around 4pm. yesterday I added another ic one at 8pm.
today I did cb in morning, ic at lunch and planning to do another at 5 and another at 8. but it sounds like that's ok and I was previously doing too few! I do love a good old poas so this suits me just fine!! Grin

Can I join I'm on day 4. I plan on dtd every other night. But I need a scan as I just mc after getting pregnant and my coil going missing. So they are going to scan to see where it is.

xBlueberry88x · 08/10/2014 15:19

ok so apprently EPO is fine with Clomid.

Now how much do I take and where do I get it from?

Spaceboundeminem · 08/10/2014 15:21

Oh and this will be dc4

Jackiebrambles · 08/10/2014 15:21

I doubled up on OPKs this cycle too.

I used only ICs last month and never got a strong positive so really wasn’t sure what was going on. So this month I bought a Boots packet and started the day or so after AF ended (CD7 I think).

I did a Boots one in the middle of the day around 1pm, and I saved up pee beforehand (didn’t pee after 9am). Then I did an IC around 7pm. My ICs did show lines around the time that I got the strong positive with a Boots test, but according to their instructions that is still a negative!

I’m really glad I did because I got a strong positive on CD11, a good few days earlier than I would have expected.
If I don’t get a bfp this cycle I’m going to do the same and double up next cycle.

Thanks sunbathingcat Smile

ohlordyplordy · 08/10/2014 15:44

Thanks ladies, I'm well and truly knackered ;)
I got my epo from lidl, I think it was 99p for 45 500mg capsules - I take between 2 and 6, along with folic acid/ vit d, omega 3, cranberry (plus just started cinnamon, royal jelly and awaiting manuka honey in post), I practically rattle!. Last pot I got was 1000mg from boots though, as I was in there and they were on 3 for 2 but they are huge!
I use ic opks when I get home from work c. 17:30. I tend to have a drink and wee at lunch time then hold it in.

Aprilray · 08/10/2014 15:47

AF has arrived so officially kicked off this bus. Really odd for AF to arrive later in the day for me. Usually it's first thing in the morning.

This bus is well overdue a BFP or two. FX for some good news very soon.

ohlordyplordy · 08/10/2014 15:47

Oh and me and dp both take berroca (boots own version) daily!

gennibugs · 08/10/2014 16:01

Oh sunbathing I REALLY hope it works for me too.

april I'm really sorry AF has arrived Sad that just sucks.

spinningirl10 · 08/10/2014 16:06

ceds86 · 08/10/2014 16:45

Ladies I'm so very confused, 10 DPO and just went to the bathroom and had some ewcm! but it wasn't the clear stuff it was like white / cream (sorry tmi!) really wondering now whether I'm actually ovulating?! Must cd24? Thing is this month was the month im most expecting a BFP! I have so many symptoms so now I'm wondering what the hell is going on.... Any one else experienced this?
Will read through all of today's chatter after work but wanted to quickly log on and ask you all?! Xx

spinningirl10 · 08/10/2014 16:49

Ced creamy cm is quite common at the end of cycle for some.....it is also a common symptom of pregnancy Grin

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 08/10/2014 16:50

Ceds i read that ewcm can happen when you are preggers if it's after ov and can be a sign of implantation
