@DobbieFreeElf first photo you can't see the line in the photos but I can see it. The second one was this morning.

DobbieFreeElf · 04/10/2019 12:09

It has to be the same or darker, as with all LH opks.

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 12:24

@DobbieFreeElf yes I know, that's for it to be positive. But as there is a second line there that is getting darker daily... must mean I'm leading up to ovulation.

LaurenN23 · 04/10/2019 12:34

@CharlotteCx try your best to relax a bit! The opks will guide you in the right direction so just wait for that darker line 😊

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 12:40

@LaurenN23 thanks hun I'm trying .. did you see the posts I uploaded with the opks from yesterday and today.. it's deffo got darker x x we've only managed to dtd on Tuesday evening this week and last Saturday! We tried lastnight twice but we felt so pressured we couldn't go through with it, such a awful feeling but we've decided to try again tonight. Did you & your OH feel like that too?

LaurenN23 · 04/10/2019 12:46

@CharlotteCx no I'm still waiting to start clomid. it's so stressful for us all so try not to panic!!. Just take it day by day and try not to get caught up with lots of opks. You will know instantly when you get a positive one so you don't need to analyse them everyday, you'll get yourself more worked up

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 12:58

@LaurenN23 oh ok will this be your first cycle? Yes I agree, it's not even the positive opks or negative opks that are stressing me it's the dtd like we're just really really feeling the pressure as I'm sure everyone is.

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 13:37

Finally got my positive opk!

Good luck @CharlotteCx !

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 15:45

@Rinoa thank you ☺️ when you had your positive did it go to negative quickly after? I tested an hour after but was negative. Still a really dark line but not as dark as the positive one I uploaded

AmyMaria2 · 04/10/2019 16:36

Your urine provably wasn't concentrated enough only an hour later. Test again later this eve and in morning, you'll be ovulating anytime from now and 34 hours. x

@DobbieFreeElf @CharlotteCx
@seven201
Thank you for your advice and sharing your experiences. I'm feeling ok, just a bit hot last night and today. I usually have a thin-ish lining (7.1mm in the last scan) but have started acupuncture so hopefully this helps.

Well done on the positve opk! How exciting!!

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 17:29

@HeadintheClouds20 thanks hun! Yes I had hot flushes twice, nothing I couldn't deal with though xx

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 17:30

@AmyMaria2 yes I will keep testing. Thanks for your advice x x

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 17:34

@AmyMaria2 google says to have sex the day you see your positive opk for 3 days onwards as you are likely to ovulate 12-36 hours. I have the worst anxiety ever, the pressure of dtd to make sure you don't miss anything is so overwhelming I think xx

Rinoa · 04/10/2019 17:40

Don't forge to put your legs up ! Haha

AmyMaria2 · 04/10/2019 17:55

@CharlotteCx definitely it can turn into such a chore rather than 'fun' try and spice things up abit and keep it fun 😂 good luck xx

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 18:08

@AmyMaria2 honestly! But my poor OH cos I put so much pressure on things sometimes finds it hard to 'finish' like lastnight I'm like we have to do it we must we must and we tried twice and it just weren't happening - so tonight I'll go in with a different approach x

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 18:59

Just got my static smiley on the CB ovulation tests 😌😌

CharlotteCx · 04/10/2019 20:08

@Rinoa I'm going to put a pillow under my waist afterwards tonight 🤣 roll on 10pm when I can leave work to go home haha

Rinoa · 04/10/2019 20:31

Haha I mean it worked for me! Why not
