but some people dont always get bfp till af dates have been and gone 
new chart stalker thread

- Start date
Oh Bec this is so exciting!!! I read your post in 1st tri too and I know you don't have any symptoms but that doesn't mean anything imo. As for the BFNs maybe you ov'ed later than you thought? Saw your chart and thought about CD20, what do you think? Your temps are high, i really think they indicate you ovulated, plus your chart doesn't look anything like your previous ones!
As the others have suggested, please please test with a CB!
everything crossed for you!

Yeah .. I was wondering about CD20 too .. that was the day I had bugger all sleep tho .. so wasn't sure!? Anyway - I'm ordering some CB tests online today and I'll test later this week if AF hasn't shown up and temps are still high!
I'll keep you posted!
If I still get a BFN I'll assume I didn't ov this month as my pattern isn't as clear as previous months and I'll just wait for AF to arrive! Feeling better about it all now I've spoken to all you guys ... I'm expecting AF so I won't be gutted if/when she arrives ...
Thanks for all your support girls ... don't know what I would do without you all

Yeah I think it was Loulou who said that at the time actually ... I dunno!
Yes .. we BD'd on CD 15 and CD19 ... I'd given up with the OPKs by CD18 cos I thought I must've missed it!? Maybe I just ov'd much later than normal!?

Oh good then! Both dates are great, esp the CD19! If you ov'ed on CD20 then you'd be 14 dpo now which is great cause your temp is high, in your other charts, temp had already dipped by then
i'm
for you!
let us know how you're getting on

Yes .. I was convinced I wouldn't be pg cos we only BD'd on CD15 .. and I thought I ov'd 2 days later (thought it would be a bloody miracle if we managed it with that timing ) .... so maybe CD20 might be more hopeful!?
Anyway - can't know until my temps drop/AF comes or I get a BFP .... so watch this space! I'll let you know as soon as I do!

bec have a play with your chart settings if you've got vip not sure if you have.and try the different settings such as fertility awareness,and such as mine gave me different ov dates and one said i hadnt ov atall this cycle
Yes I have .... how bizarre! I changed it to FAM and it took my lines away altogether ... then I changed it back to advanced and it's put solid red lines in (back on CD17) and replaced the dotted lines!! V odd!! Changing to 'Research' has me ovulating on CD 23!?!? In which case I'm defo not PG .. didn't BD anytime around then damn it!!
I'll put it back to advanced for now and wait it out! What a rigmarole hey
*changes method again*
Back to dotted lines again now!

Hey Lyn,
Nope .. never had a BFP .. and we are trying for our first ... so I've got nothing to compare this to. ...
Still no AF .. and temp went up today!!? I'm waiting for my CBs to arrive .. should be today so I might test again tomorrow .. depending on how my temps look .... I'm not holding out much hope though, I really don't feel like this is it ..... but as you said ... you get late BFPs ... so I won't abandon ALL hope just yet ...

bec it is looking really good
hey girls i'm sorry to sound thick but i wanna really try this month alot more carefully so i was wondering
how do you know when to start using the opks? i'm just not sure, and if its showing a surge how long before OV does that happen? so i BD then? or that day or before then oh god i am well confused
i was wondering aswell cos i've bought some magic medicine lol (the asdas cough syrup) to try this month aswell so if that increases ewcm then how will i know when to use the opks
your temp looks really good today bec! am so hopin you get good news when you do the cb test

Thanks Lyn!
Right .... OPKs ....
You can start testing anytime really .... and it really depends on how long your cycles normally are ..... if they are 28 days the suggestion is you start testing on CD11 ... You didn't ov until CD16 last month, but I'd start on CD11 still .. just to be sure .....
Try and test at the same time each day .. afternoon is probably best as the surge might not show up in morning urine.. I tend to start testing twice a day around the time I expect to ovulate to make sure I catch the LH surge!! When you get your LH surge you should ovulate within 12-48 hours (that's the biggest gap .. other places say 24-36 hours but I'd assume the longest time to give yourself a better chance!) So I would suggest you BD on the day you get the surge, the day after and the day after that (3 days) .... some people get a + for more than one day in a row (Rach being one of them!)... if this happens keep BDing and keep testing until you get a - again!! A test is only + if the 2nd line is as dark, or darker than the control line ... a line that isn't quite as dark is a negative result (unlike HPTs)...
Keep BDing if you can until you see a sustained rise in your temps .. which will indicate you have ovulated .. then you can relax
The magic meds helps to thin out your CM, it doesn't affect the OPKs at all. It doesn't matter what your CM is like when you start testing with OPKs ... you chose the date to start testing based on your average cycles .... ie 28 days = CD11 to start testing, 29 days = CD12 and so on ....
Hope all this helps!! Good luck!!

Bec, your chart is getting better and better!! I know you're trying not to get your hopes up but it looks so promising! Even if you ov'ed late on CD20, it's still looking v.good (btw, what changes do you have to do to make the lines shift on that day?)
I've had a positive feeling ever since you said your OPKs didn't work and that you missed ov etc. I am having everything crossed fo you hun!
Good luck for tomorrow
