I got a pack of 3 digital ones for a very good price. So I am still using those. I really like Pbn's advise of using digis with fmu and then wondfos throughout the day. That is saving
me from wasting a lot of strips. I m also going to use only wondfos once these one will Be finished.

Yes the digis say to use fmu but once you get flashy you can use them more often and I read the whole wondfo paper and it never said a thing about fmu in fact I used fmu last cycle and it wasn't any darker then use next urine like two hours later and it was positive so I never use fmu for my wondfo anymore

Ya. It says that you can use digis anytime after flashing smiley. I m
thinking if I should test once more tonight? [emoji51] The flashing stayed for
two days last cycle.

Sky did you get a flashing smiley this morning 😀? I'd just do a wonfo next if so and post a pic!!!
Hi Ladies
I need some input
I used opk this morning and decided to test hpt. It was a good 6 hour + hold.
Technically i should be in the middle of my cycle ready to ovulate. No O pains as yet. Plenty of ewcm which i had after right after af.
Im thinking this may just be a shadow? The tests haven't expired. They are the diagnosis one step strip. Me and dh have only been np at af time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...31ae553280.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cdde36c701.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4bc2f5ebed.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...038dee2599.jpg

Omg netti!!! Did you say they are hcg test strips!!!!! I can definitely see a faint line on both!!! You need to go and get an frer like yesterday 😮😮😮

Blue is hpt 😮😮😮. Pink is opk. Makes me wonder if its a dud test or i ovulated around af time. I think im about cd14/15. My stupid app has put me at cd46 or something even though i had clear af days 😣 tell ya what. It would explain the strange bbs. But i just cant believe its real. Im going to finish cleaning the bathrooms and ill head to the shop.
Mind you this is all happening post night shift and its 1 of 4 😪😪😪

Eeeeeek sky that's getting close!!!!! I think there's a good chance you'll get a solid smiley tomorrow! What are the chances of bding tomorrow morning and night if it is?
Cant wait netti!! At least you'll have an answer either way and will hopefully sleep better for it!
We can do tomorrow night Pbn.

Netti02 - Are u able to see now.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Sky will you bd tonight then the following two nights to get your three attempts in?
OMG Netti! I can't wait to see your next pic!
Please get some rest though! I really hope you get a day off soon! I used to work nights, both at an Animal ER clinic and the Animal Poison Control Center. It sucked!! My hat goes off to you, mama!

Yep i can see it now. I agree with Pbn about solid smiley tomorrow 😉
Thanks ladies. Im still not trusting this test though. I just can't see when and where ovulation and fertilisation would have taken place except during or right after af.
I know of the frers are stark white those tests will be going in the bin.
I couldn't hold my bladder just now way too busting but im heading to the shops now and ill take a test this afternoon.
Still think those tests are tricking me. Though its not even a squinter of a line...

You're killing me netti 😂😂😂 but that's a good idea to test this afternoon as you'll be holding while you sleep. I'll be clock watching all day now 😂
Just checked cm and its lotiony. It was ewcm straight after af.
😮😮 theres a good chance ive already ovulated or it hasnt happened...yet

Wow netti! I see it, yay! Can't wait to see a frer!!!
Skyblue-getting close, almost time to get the party started ;)
AFM-I have been using wondfo OPKs and Iike last time, they are all pretty dark, but on CD 10 and no O cramps. Beginning to think something is wrong with me since my OPKs haven't started out light! I'll try to post a pic soon.
Ash-I'm going to try to wait until 10dpo to test as well. It's sooo easy to get tempted isn't it?!! Last cycle it seemed to lessen the blow when I started testing early & kept getting BFNs. However, feel like I wasted so many frer's & not good for my bank account lol. I do have my frer's restocked and ready though ;)
Maxim-hope you're having fun on your vaca! Was the hospital able to fit you in?
Fx that we all get BFPs, almost go time for us!! Woohoo!!
My Ovulation Chart
Netti - I see a clear line but I can imagine how it must be messing with your head. Fx. Will be waiting for an update.
Pbn - I got my flashing today with fmu.And it stays for 2 days before solid. Is it a good idea to BD tonight then? Shouldn't I start the 3 attempts after solid. Should I do digi tonight to be sure?
I just thought what if we BD day after tomorrow morning and then night and then next night. It will be morning of stable smiley hopefully day after tomorrow. So confusing. Will also talk to dh to see if he wants to go for 3 attempts in two days.
Ash - Do post pics once U start POAS. I am going to do that with mine from now on. You guys are really good at this than me.[emoji4][emoji4]I can use all the suggestions.
Lolla - Waiting to see pics. Is it dark even after drying? Mine were dark first then light after they dried up. Lol party stared. I am going to get pretty up. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

Sky with the flashing smileys I've had as little as one and as many as five. It won't always be the same cycle after cycle. If you wait to bd 3 x nights in a row at solid smiley then its possible you'll only have the one attempt 'technically' as you'll end up with a 1-o, day of o and day after o attempts. That's assuming you o the day after solid smiley of course. Day of o is not the best attempt wise and day after o is pointless. Unfortunately it really is a guessing game as opks can only tell us when our surge is at its peak but not when we'll actually o. Though generally its between 12-72 hours after FIRST pos opk. Your opk looks very close to pos so if it was me I'd start my 3 x night attempts tonight so you'll hopefully have a 2-o, 1-o and day of o attempts BUT it's entirely up to you. It's a gamble really on whether your opk will be completely pos tomorrow. Maybe for peace of mind do another digi opk now (or after a hold) to see whether its solid or flashing still and make a decision from there...
Thanks sky. Its a little hard to believe and comprehend atm.
Ive got the prognosis early preg test and first response dip and read. The frers were abit expensive and i got value for money with 6 tests for the price of 2 🤣
Alright im off to get my boys organised and have a rest and then hopefully test 😁

Sky now that I've said that I really want you to decide what you're most comfortable with. I'd hate for you to take my advice and start bding tonight only to end up with no pos opk tomorrow. Really hoping your digi opk will help make the decision if you do one again.
Pbn -Thankyou for always being so helpful. Whatever happens, I know u always want the best for me. I value your advise and know that these things are not 100%. There is always something that may change.
[emoji4][emoji4]
I did another wondfo and it was so light that I could hardly see. May be because I didn't hold for long.
Here is what I think I should do. I am going to test again after holding off before bed. If it's still flashey which I think it's going to be then I will wait for another day. Dh is going to be home for the next two days and I can ask him to be a little considerate incase the opks change. That means he will be home for next four days including weekend.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Sounds like an awesome plan sky! Try and do as long as hold as possible and don't drink any fluids :)
Hi ladies! Here are my OPKs-all dry and they look about the same. They were all done in the afternoon. I feel like there should be a light to dark progression. Last time, they were all about the same and then the test line got much darker when I had O pains. I'm just guessing that is what will happen again to help me determine a pos OPK. Last time someone mentioned PCOS or thyroid as the cause for the dark lines. Sure hope this isn't the reason I keep getting BFNs every cycle :(

My Ovulation Chart
Sky what time was that near pos wondfo taken at?
Lola it was me that mentioned pcos I believe. I think they start with a blood test diagnosis wise then do further testing pending the results however I'm not sure that's how it goes, is there any way you can get in to ask your gp for bw? It won't mean you cant get pregnant, there are plenty of ladies here that have pcos and have fallen pregnant. Atomic even has an le diet for those with pcos. Not at all saying you have it but just might be worthwhile ruling out. In the meantime can you do e4d instead just to cover yourself and give yourself a chance attempt wise if opks follow last cycles trend?
Pbn - The wondfo was taken around 2:30 noon. I was also surprised to see the light one at 5. Anyway I m trying to hold and will do digi and a wondfos before going to bed. Will post the pictures.
Lolla - I now understand. They do look pretty dark. Could there be any other reason? Like early O. I also feel that e4d would be a good plan. Fx.
Is there a chance that you can talk to your OB about it?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Thanks pbn!! If I don't get a BFP this cycle, I'm def making an appt to get this checked out!! I don't seem to have any of the PCOS symptoms other than heavy AF. Maybe it's just an ovarian cyst...wonder if that would cause darker lines??
Skyblue & pbn-I'm going to try the e4d or even e3d BD plan...discussed e3d with Atomic since it seems to be taking time ttc! Need a BFP already!!
Looking forward to more pics skyblue :)

Oh ya e3d sounds like a good idea too. Fx. I have a feeling that it's not Pcos Lolla. Hope we get the bfps this month.
Ash - Pics?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Just for my knowledge asking this.
Since most of you are boy moms. Did u use digi opks before any of the pregnancy? Did you BD through flashing ones too? I am seriously considering bding eod if I won't get bfp soon.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Sky I would seriously consider eod as soon as next cycle which hopefully you wont get to because you'll be pregnant! Because you have an average cycle I would suggest eod from cd8 through to cd18 if possible. The thing is its not just down to no. of attempts or timing on its own, the diet and lifestyle is the main focus and all these other things just add a nudge. Unfortunately some people are just simply blessed with one or more of each gender no matter what they do 😕 just do your best because short of going HT that's all you can do. It's hard not to get wrapped up in anything and everything sway wise :( and unfortunately there is no gaurentee, I've seen the strongest sways fail. The best advice I can give right now is to remember you have to get pregnant to even have a 50/50 chance so maybe focus more on getting that bfp than swaying (as in timing and attempts) and it may be that it ultimately sways for you anyway xxoo
Sky I would definitely start the BD tonight! I bet you'll have solid tomorrow that wondfo is close.
Lola mine are pretty dark also and it never gradually got darker it was just all of a sudden. And I am not going to buy any frer until 9dpo lol then maybe I won't be tempted! And now that I've scrolled my opk is not that dark at all. I'll post a pic tomorrow
And scrolling a bit more sky lol I BD twice on O day with the only boy I've tracked with and once after which wouldn't count.

Netti I've used those pregnosis hpts before and they were always stark except for when I had a really good line on an frer then I had a *faint* line on the pregnosis one. They are no way near as sensitive as an frer but all this aside I actually feel I can see a shadow of a line on the second pic. Please can you get an frer to test with tomorrow morning 🙏
I m sorry but I don't see it. [emoji853]I have heard frer are more sensitive. Do You want to try that Netti?
Afm, my digi is still flashing. [emoji854]
And after all that holding, I was smart enough to have my prenatals and lemon water minutes before POAS. [emoji12][emoji12] the bottom one is recent and top afternoon.
