I was just looking at the leaflet that's with my ovulation tests and what day of your cycle you're supposed to test on, so I worked out the length of my last 5 cycles. They are:

28
31
38
41
46

So, when should I start testing?? The cycle chart in the leaflet only goes up to 40 days anyway! :wall:
 
I would test according to time given for the length of your shortest cycle and keep going until you get a positive (if you have enough test sticks!)

Goodluck
 
I've tried to get that book to but its a 4-6 week delivery estimate.....I have no patience!
 
Jenna, try to get that book or else go in to Boots because they do a really good little kit with a thermometer and a charting book. It explains in there how to monitor your temps. Also, you need to be on the lookout for discharge that's like egg-white. That's when you're at your most fertile.
It's all a bit complicated but that book was really helpful for me.
Good luck!

Glitzyglam girl! Dont say that!

I have been trying for 16 and now been referred, but my doctor didnt want to refer me! She said far too many couples go down the route of referal to a fertility clinic when there is nothing wrong with them at all.

She said that your local GP can only do so much tests for you (We have ahd all of them) If nothing appears wrong you get referred to a fertility clinic, If you have anything abnormal showing you get referred to a fertility clinic. Once there they run afew more tests on you, I got an ultrasound etc and look at my uterus the same old stuff. I have one more test to do, the consultant told me if they dont find anything wrong with me they put it down to infertility. Simple.

If they find something wrong the also put it down to infertility.

Then after that, they take you down the route of IVF or sperm/egg donation etc.

My doctor was against me being referred as she said that even though in this day and age we are quiet clued up fertility is something doctors have still not investigated further. She didnt want to refer me as she didnt think anythign was wrong with me or my partner fertility wise. She just thinks its all about stress and timing etc, and wanting to get pregnant, she suggested taking a step back and chilling out.

Which am going to do and follow her advice.
 
why are you infertile if theres nothing wrong with you?

:cry: the thing that annoys me is that a lot of babies are made when both parents dont even want it. Its so unfair! :cry:
 
i know jenna its so frustrating how some people just seem to have "accidents" and others can be trying for ages and really want it

you will get your turn soon i am sure :hug:
 
i just keep thinking about where id be and what id be doing if i got pregnant when we'd first tried... :cry:

I didnt think it would be so frustrating! :wall:
