Does anyone know why you get evap lines when using urine but not with water?

Disclaimer - it's a rainy bank holiday and I had nothing better to do than experiment

KittyandTeal · 31/08/2015 17:52

I don't actually know but is it something to do with the chemical that picks up hcg also being sensitive to other hormones but over a longer time period. Therefore after 10 mins or so it starts reacting with that hormone to create a colour change?

Thisisbonkers · 31/08/2015 18:48

shary it's the smiley face sticks I have. I looked to get some more from Tesco and saw that a set of 10 were £30 Shock Shock so will stick to my cheapies!

That has really amused me, obliviated! Maybe you could try other liquids?

SharyBobbins · 31/08/2015 21:27

The CB tests are pretty expensive too! ttc costs a fortune doesn't it!

Sunshinegirl2015 · 31/08/2015 21:42

I got some cheapies this month and getting faint lines but nothing solid yet.

I hate how expensive the CB ones are. Surely plastic doesn't need to be that expensive! Used them the last two months now this month miss seeing that smiley face but can't keep spending £30 a month on them along with all the healthy superfoods and supplements I keep reading are good for ttc.

coco808 · 31/08/2015 21:47

Same here...CD 19 today and CB ovulation sticks still negative :(

very long cycles though (35 +) but I usually ovulate by CD 18/19...arrgghhh...so frustrated!!

FuzzyOwl · 31/08/2015 22:25

Sunshine EPO didn't make me ovulate earlier than normal in the one cycle I tried it, but I did get pregnant then (so a 100% success rate). Good luck.

AF has finished and I am on day seven. I usually ovulate around day 20 but am away on a big family holiday from day 12 to 19 so not holding our much hope for this month.

ODog · 01/09/2015 10:02

Got a 2-3 weeks on a cb digi this morning and progressively stronger lines on cheap ones, so I'm finally starting to believe it's right. Good luck to the rest of you and hope to see lots of you on the antenatal threads over the next few weeks!

CarrotVan · 01/09/2015 10:09

Proper congratulations ODog fx for a smooth pregnancy for you

Violet88 · 01/09/2015 10:13

Test date: OCTOBER booo can't even legitimately stay on the bus!!

weechops · 01/09/2015 11:07

banana I think my actual test date will be around 4th October ( since next af is due around 8th September) so if you want to start an October bus, I'll happily jump on board. Think we should stay here for a bit though too Grin

So sorry the witch got you.

Banana79 · 01/09/2015 11:16

Congratulations ODog!

Can anyone recommend any cheapy OPKs that you can pee on rather than dip!?

Banana79 · 01/09/2015 11:18

I'll be around the 4th too Weechops. I agree we should hang out here for a bit first!

KittyandTeal · 01/09/2015 12:55

Awesome news ODog. Good luck with the pregnancy

star1980 · 01/09/2015 12:55

Big congratulations ODog!

ChatEnOeuf · 01/09/2015 13:24

Great news ODog!

Sorry Banana, do stick around.

Emu123 · 01/09/2015 13:26

Great news odog!!!

Fingers crossed this is a lucky bus

pulpi · 01/09/2015 18:32

Congrats odog!!!

FuzzyOwl · 01/09/2015 19:19

Congratulations ODog.

Happy Birthday Banana and I suspect I might technically be testing in October as well so we can loiter at the back of the bus together. Smile

3Princes99 · 01/09/2015 22:17

Sorry to hear af got you Banana!

Happy for you Odog :)

Just a quick update while I have 3G. Af due today cd27 (never ever been over that) didn't get a proper positive opk so no idea what oday I am but I normally spot for a day or 2 before af and I've had nothing! Bfn tho this morning and I do have cramps so we'll just wait and see what happens. I'll will update when I can.

Emzlou15 · 01/09/2015 23:27

Congrats Odog, hope everything goes smoothly :D

Still waiting for AF had 'tender' nipples for a week now but still getting creamy CM. I'm CD 34 or 39 depending if you start from my Withdrawl bleed from coming off the pill. Got a BFN at CD 32/37 so I don't think I've been lucky and conceived the first month I think my body is playing around on me still holding onto hope though..

ODog · 02/09/2015 06:49

Thanks ladies.

Emu123 · 02/09/2015 07:22

Gah, not really sure when I o'd as haven't temped this month. I got a positive opk on cd13 and pain on cd 14 but then ewcm all the way to cd 17. If i o'd on cd 14/15 AF is late..... Had cramps on Monday and was in a foul mood (poor oh) as thought I'd wake up to my period but still no sign. Do u think it would be odd to o as late as cd 17 if I had my positive on cd 13?!? As you can probably tell, I'm too scared to test!!!!

Thisisbonkers · 02/09/2015 08:48

CD19, strong negative on the cheapy opk last night but much weaker this morning Angry don't geddit. Will try again this evening. That said me and him indoors are being somewhat grumbly towards one another (ok, I'm being grumbly - tiredness and stress from work are what I'm blaming) so that kinda puts a dampener on things.
