Mellifluous May

Most dip test opks are best taken between 11am and 3pm and you should definately limit your fluids 2-3 hours before testing. Double check your opk instructions to be sure. Just take sips here and there if you need to but no gulping lol! And try and hold for at least 2 hours prior to testing. This is why I found the cb dual hormone digi opks so awesome, they alone use fmu for testing so no worrying about holding or dilution etc. If this cycle doesn't pan out, maybe consider them for next cycle. Its the dual hormone ones only (the ones with flashing smiley) that use fmu, the regular cb digi's don't.

Definately switch to vaginal temping next cycle if there is one :) The bbt only needs to be inserted so the tip is fully immersed. I would insert mine the approx distance from fingertip to first knuckle. Have a practice by inserting the bbt alongside your index finger then remove your finger and you'll get an idea where it feels internally. No need to go poking up around cervix :)

Yep sky mine was night off pos opk and morning of following day (o day) but I'd also bded twice earlier that week from memory, think it was Sunday and Tuesday and got pos opk on friday.... wish I could remember my old login details lol I started a new ff account in 2015

I'm hoping I really ovulated on cd 13. Then I'd have a better girl attempt. I'm going to pretend I did lol because I had spotting on 5dpo which if I Od on cd 13 then I'd of had the spotting on 6dpo which is more likely for implantation.

Pbn-LOVE that test!!!! Yay!!!![emoji322] Extremely happy for you!!! And please DO discuss your duedates etc in here...speaking for myself, but I love to hear it all [emoji4] We've been on a journey together, so every detail is awesome to hear!! FX for a healthy baby!!!!
I'm just going to see what happens over the next few days before I do any bw. AF is due tomorr, so we'll see. I want to test tonight, but may just use a wondfo & frer in AM. I'm running low & I think I want to be happy tonight, relax & watch a movie. Afraid to see a blank frer....the one this AM looked pretty blank.
Sumbal-can't wait for you test!!! Come on BFP!!! It is sounding very good :)
Maxim-can't wait to see your temp torrorr...expecting to see it to continue the spike. My O pains are so bad sometimes that I just want to curl up in a ball & sleep. I bet that's what is going on since it sounds like it's getting better. You're entering the 2WW yay!!!!!
Sky & shinay-I wasn't charting when ttc DS1 & DS2. Just looked at what days I thought I was supposed to O & it worked out! I also have bad O pains, so I know we had about 2-3 attempts in that window.
Ash-have fun celebrating ds's bday! Good idea to grab some frer...those lines darkening may give you peace of mind! Already great looking lines [emoji4]

Hugest congrats Pbn3! I am beyond overjoyed for you (that is an understatement!)! I am praying with all of my might and sending loads of sticky baby vibes your way!

DS2 = O (x2), O-1 (x2) , O-2, O-3 (x2), O-4 (x2) (wonder why we got a boy - yikes!)

Did you mean the advance cb? I read online that lots of ppl have problem with the advance cb. That's why I got the regular cb (pink version, i think). If my pink cb tests are out and i am still not pregnant, i will get the advance one. I hope that i will have good news this month since it is our anniversary. That would be such a wonderful gift :)

hahaha i will try that next cycle (hope not) and wont be poking for my cervix. I have learned so much on this website. This is my first time feeling the cervix opening. It is amazing. I never knew how my own body works till now.
