i gotta call drs etc now and at same time im trying to keep cool and calm and emotionless but i cant not ahhh can get me crying again now. ridiculous hate hate hate! all this so so so muchI am sorry Kristenhave you called again? Do you think it might be possible that you ovulated later than you thought?
Not that this helps you - just sending big hugs - TTC is a big mind f**k!

No it doesn't bother me personally to know of an estrogen surge but as previously said the cheapie opk's dont work for me. I never get a blazing positive so never sure when exactly that i ovulate so the clear blues work much better for me. I like that the flashing smiley means i am in my fertile window and ovulation will happen soon and also like the fact i only have to use the once a day with fmu.re: clearblue opks
When it detects a rise in your level of estrogen it displays High Fertility (flashing smiley face), and will continue to display High Fertility in the following days whilst it looks for your LH surge. When your LH surge is detected, the test displays Peak Fertility (static smiley face).
so, do you feel it is of the essence to know when estrogen is surging? for you personally? i figure a general cheap opk only captures the last part (static smiley).
i have tried clearblue before but part of me is intrigued to go there again, but im really not sure if its worth it! im not sure what it will achieve?
If i go for SMEP this month, and opk test 10+ what do i achieve seeing a flashy smily vs a nothing? i hope you get what i mean
im just tearing head up about whats best way to go..
do you know roughly how long your cycles are?x
I can see a line on the top one but it does seem early to get a line.
Will just be repeating what Char said, although if it was CD12, i personally would only be about to ovulate

YES. Bloody coop. Who knows... I don't know if i can hold out. I just want to know. Might go get some tests from superdrug now. I did not miss this insane level of psycho-ism! xI can see a line on the top one but it does seem early to get a line.
Are the top and third pic tests from the Co-op? I have used them and always get a line on them - they seem notorious for getting evaps!
I am trying again on Saturday - when are you trying?! Exciting
I would definitely stock up on some more tests for in a few days time.
I got an IC positive on the same day this month with both fmu and 6pm wee with no attention paid to drinking levels - they were identical.
Well i don't have loads of money but TTC is important to me so i make cut backs elsewhere so i can justify buying products that work best for me. I'm not judging anyone for not being able to afford the more expensive opks but i also would't judge someone for spending thousands if that's what made them feel like they had a better chance. This is what works for me so this is why i use the Clear Blues rather than the cheapies.
For me the line on the cheapies just dont ever go as dark or darker than the control line so it causes me stress. The Clear Blue basically give you a yes or a no and this is why i find it works better for me. I'm not saying there is any difference in how they read the LH surge x
i have been with my partner 8 year so that might be why lol. and i dont care to admit it, even my friends know and we all joke about it. My husband doesnt seem to be 'that' bothered by it either, so i am not worried, but when you are ttc it is rather annoying and sex does feel forced, but you have a goal at the end of the day xNothing wrong with it at all, i am exactly the same, zero sex drive in all honesty - would rather be going to sleep then getting down to it
I am now bascially 5 months pregnant and havent dtd since we found out, which doesnt bother me in the slightest
haha i just dont know why we had sex in first place. last year feels it only for 1 thing like i cant even remember doing it just cause..
technically im now cycle 14 (but i had no idea what i was doing December 2017 none at all plus i was getting married Dec 2017 and not sure we tried adequately lets just say we didnt dtd a lot on our honeymoon probably not as much as normal people), i dont have any idea what it is at all. people say could be blocked tubes stopping sperm getting there but to me if sperm cant get there how does an egg get down then? wouldnt if you ovulated monthly you end up with almost a queue of eggs stuck? (if i make sense at all).
his sperm tests have always come back good, at home ones, so making me think its me. i dont have a problem with fsh as i done that test atleast but theres no other ones i can do at home that i can see anyway
only thing i can think of is either his sperm isnt getting there at all cause of my cm..
or, my eggs are crap!
*i also wish i had a higher sex drive i have none! like the mention of my honeymoon above is an example where i just didnt wanna.. didnt even on wedding night.. (embarrasing to admit actually haha)
i dunno if there is somit wrong with me for not wanting to..
But over the 14 cycles i have only had 1 anovulatory that was april 2018 and im so convinced was due to me taking a pregnancy sup' .. i know i sound stupid but honest it messed me up a lot, also in 2ww i had symptoms like youd never believe super awful awful! and reading reviews realised it also messed peoples cycle up, dried up cm and gave them pg. symptoms.
