Runner - once you opk you'll never look back! So insightful

Lol well I've got 30 to get me started plus the 5 I already had... I should think that will get me through this month, we'll see about next month lol

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 16:41

Has any one else had Ovia tell them to save their sex drive for the fertile window?!

... Fertility score has started to rise today and with it my crazy score. Ovia really should add that as a thing Hmm

Pinklily1 · 06/12/2015 16:49

Shelb - thanks, that's really interesting, will speak to the doc next time I go.

Runner - does Ovia think you are having too much sex??! Surely no amount of sex is too much when TTC?

I'm hoping to pin OH down again tonight Grin I've decided regular sex all month is the way forward for us otherwise I would become too stressy if we specifically focused on an extra amount during the fertile window. I'll probably change my tune when we are knackered at the end of the month Smile

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 16:51

Argh!!! I decided to do a opk today as, why not... This looks bloody positive to me!!!!

Weird thing to be pleased about but I've come on! Woooo! I'm SO relieved! I thought my body had heard the conversation with Dh about actually ttc and had decided against it! It has made me realise how much I want to be pregnant though! In case I was wavering, now I'm definetly not and will be ttc with gusto!

Woo hoo Runner and Starky - both brilliant bits of news in their own ways!

Runner that looks really strong!

Pinklily1 · 06/12/2015 16:56

PS Runner - where are those OPK sticks from? Look nice and straightforward

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 16:56

Gah!!! I can't, we have the kids. Will have to pin OH later. Also, wtf, this is way early. I'm not even supposed to be fertile until Tuesday???

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 16:57

Pink Superdrug. More expensive but apparently they're good Smile

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 17:01

Bollocks and bumsickles! Ovia is now saying I'm on my last but one fertile day (having missed my most fertile day) and I've only had sex once in that time... Also, my fertile period must have started only a couple of days after my period.
Stupid body!

Pinklily1 · 06/12/2015 17:05

Runner - thats so confusing! When did you finish AF?

I want to trust Ovia but not 100% convinced, which is part of the reason for the sex all of the time approach just to be sure Grin

shelbTa · 06/12/2015 17:10

Good to hear you're ok about it stark.

Runner* that's a strong positive!

BunchOfBobs · 06/12/2015 17:21

Runner that looks amazingly strong. Get on him! Earplug up the kids.

We only dtd once in my fertile windo and 5 tests later I'm still preggo!!

shelbTa · 06/12/2015 17:27

I did two more today (I know I know I know) do you think they will get any darker than this?? I don't think I can DTD too much more! I really hope today is ov day but it keeps dragging out. My pelvis is bloody killing, my tits are like guns, and it actually hurt when we DTD earlier!

Runner - id ignore ovia and go by the sticks.

Looks good to me Shelb. They say only dtd every other day anyway so have a break tomorrow.

How on earth are your tits like guns?? #curious

shelbTa · 06/12/2015 17:36

Haha, they feel massive, pointy and like they are going to explode. I feel so hormonal bunch

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 17:36

Hmm... Tried to jump OH. He wasn't having any of it Angry

Shall try again in a couple of hours after we've sent the kids home. I wouldn't worry but the last time we dtd properly was about 5 days ago which is pushing it.

I finished my period on the last day of last month and with the positive opk Ovia is saying that I started my fertile period on the second day of this month... That sounds remarkably early but I thought I ovulated really early last month too then decided that I must have been wrong.

Will do another opk tomorrow and see if it's the same or darker.

Shelb if you haven't ovulated yet I'd say you're very close so you can probably ease up and still be covered.

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 17:43

Hmm yeh, just checked Ovia, dtd last Tuesday... Now worrying that the sperms are all dead and what if I don't get more tonight! Panic!

Ovia says I'm CD 12. Is that early for ovulation?

shelbTa · 06/12/2015 17:45

When did my life turn into this!!!

Runner no think cd12 is ok. Yeah I'd try and get one in tonight or tomorrow morning?

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 17:51

I am not a morning person so it would take a miracle for me to Dtd then. I should be able to coax OH before bed I think.

I just looked at the NHS website and if my period is due when I thinking is then ovulating now is very early. I might do a pregnancy test with my ovulation test tomorrow. I know it's going to be BFN but I have heard of people getting positive opk's because they're pregnant and my last period wasn't entirely normal for me so it can't hurt to check.

Bloody ttc is driving me completely crazy Hmm

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 18:01

Sorry if I'm coming across as insane obsesso girl. I'm just a little bit in shock. I only did the opk on a whim. I didn't under any circumstances think it would be positive and am now going completely crazy.

So with opk's, a positive means that you will ovulate within 12 to 24 hours and the egg lasts for about 24 hours. Is that right? I thought I'd have a week to work this all out.
