opk virgin! please help

i just ordered some from ebay, 40 ovulation sticks and 4 preg tests free from a place called sme fertility, will eagerly await there arrival thanks for advice. baby dust to you all :dance:
 
He sells (in his words) ... DIY sperm count tests :lol:
 
Just to chip in with my story....I also used OPK's the month I got my BFP, so as you can see from other success stories, they are definitely worth using. I usually ovulated on about day 14/15 but the month I got pregnant I ovulated early (on day 12) only did my OPK as I was going out the next day straight from work and wouldn't have had the chance to test. We used to BD every other day in my fertile week and then each night on the two most fertile days, as Bagpuss says, sperm can live for up to 5 days so it's handy to have it there when the egg is released!! Good luck in trying.
 
Well girls, since I got my ovulaion sticks it has put my OH off sex! :shakehead: I think i may have missed out this month as last night he had bad wind and tummy ache and this morning he didnt want it. Just bded and he kept going soft on me and laughing! Said he doesnt like sex on demand and keeps seeing two red ovulation lines, bless him! Think you are right Rusks about putting too much presure on our men to perform. If I dont fall this month then I wont tell him im ovulating next time.
I tryed to paste my ticker but couldnt do it! Not having much luck, lol :lol: :oops: Hope you are having a better time of it!
 
Couldnt sleep and having weide dreams! :shock: Sorry, must have deleted some of the sentence from post by mistake or my OH did! Thats why it didnt make sense. lol :roll: What I was meaning to say was Dont tell him when you are ovulating as it puts stress on them to perform and my OH said that he doesnt like being demanded! I can see how TTC can ruin relationships. Im going to back off for a while and next time not tell him when im ovulating! Hopeing this month is the one though. :pray:
Good luck all TTCx
 
Hi I just want to say I used OPKs from ebay and concieved first try. I never had a line as dark as the test line but BD anyway. I think my LH surge was probably in the middle of the night so my advice is as soon as you see a line get BDING!! :D
 
I started earlier than I thought I should - Yesterday I had a dark second line however it wasn't as dark or darker than the control line. Today I've tested again & the line is well fainter than yesterday's result.

Hmmmm maybe yesterdays result should of been darker? :?
 
do you just test once a day for the opks?

totally understand about the lack of BD on demand my oh has gone soft on me a couple of times!! :shakehead: it makes you feel so unloved and insecure, prob is i worked out the time he did it last month i think it was about the time i ovulated hence BFN i hope he can perform this month (bless him he be mortified if he knew i was saying all this)!! :oops: we Bd a few times already last week for fun as you do and he kept saying to me you ovulating yet!! i kept saying no and he was asking me why we doing it so often!! :talkhand: hello cos i love you!! i think hes starting to feel like the sperm donor so i was making a real effort and i get that response - god can't win sometimes!! notice all the !!!!!!!!!

Bless him i love him to bits but i hope we can concieve soon cos i don't think we can keep this up (so to speak) :oops:
 
Im not sure about that one Rusks! I tested on day 14 and got two faint lines so bd and then tested night after and got a darker line. so bd again. Have still got three left but gonna save them til next time. Just been round my mums and she gave me a pack of sanatary towels as last time I was there I needed some. Talk about rub it in! Hopefully i wont need them this month. lol I get really emotional everytime my AF starts but have been emotional all day and theres no excuse! . :oops:
 
hope this is your month puff puff. have everything crossed for you. :pray:
 
Yeah right need some more peeps to join me in 1st trimester lol!!! Feel new there!!
 
Thanks, Will keep you posted. :wink: I have been getting ovulation cramps today but i have already ovulated! :? Im a bit worried as I lifted a table today at work and I hope it hasnt moved my egg! lol, sounds stupid i know but i know you are not supposed to lift anything.

Hows everyone?! HOpe you are getting on with the opks ok? The two red lines put my OH off and hypnotised him! lol Think they are good to keep track of your cycle too. Good luck to anyone whos ovulating now. We need some more BFPs on the forum. :wink:

LOL I think it tests their capability & they don’t like that :lol:

My man is convinced now he has fantastic swimmers now I'd love to be saying 'hey love they int that bloody good' *nudge* this month :lol:
 
not sure if im getting these opks. admittedly only had cheapies from e bay but the last two days i had faint lines which meant i wasn't ovulating, today nothing just the test line.
i have had brown discharge and cramps for two days, which i never had before so assume i am ovulating or due to ovulate so confused! :doh:

on day 21 of 35-36 day cycle think i'll persist with them for a few days but if not try some clearblue ones or something for next time, want it this month so bad so will keep bding!! :eek:
 
Are you sure you are not already pregnant Rusks!? I would do a test to check as I have have read posts from people who were still having periods through pregnancy and brown discharge and spotting are early signs. Good luck hunniex
 
I can't say for certain, but it sounds to me like you may have already ovulated :?:

I haven't heard of ovulation spotting, only implantation spotting which happens around 7-10 days after conception. You're on day 22 now, so you could quite easily have ovulated 7-10 days ago. Implantation may be happening now.

'm not trying to get your hopes up, so I'll just say good luck, and I hope you get your BFP!!
