Ladies, I think it is really good to test for LH surge twice a day when nearer to supposedly ovulated date.. Yesterday was my CD13. I started testing using clearblue. Got an empty circle (negative).. This morning at 7.15am I use the first morning urine to test using clearblue.. Empty circle again (negative).. Then in the afternoon, I started to feel wet down there, and getting EWCM ... so when I came home, I tested again at 7.15pm and I got the smiley face. I'll be checking twice again tmr.. Jus wanna see how long this surge last .. Will be monitoring my bbt to confirm too.. Praying my luteal phase this time will be longer.. At least cab have about 14 days.. So that when I start engine in May, my body will be more ready to conceive successfully

Yes! I agree! I tested once at 7am of CD14 and got negative. Smiley face appeared on 7am at CD15. But since it was a working day, I decided to check again after work and smiley face remained at 9pm! But negative from CD16 onwards. I should have tested again on CD14 night. But who knows right... Testing twice daily during the ovulation week does allow us to catch the right moment...

Enjoy ur trip!! I love Taiwan. Ppl nice and courteous and gals very pretty. Erm not much cute man around. I love the sotong at the "yu ren ma tou" mrt stop. But haven't cross over to the jetty yet. Just around there. Wah so nice. Think got free trial. After trial u will just pay sgd5 for a small portion of sotong. Love!
Bring me along. I'm going to slp. My fever is 38.5 Liao. Night ladies. I hope it won't go up further.
Yup gynae can advise better based on the reports.. Maybe natural can also kanna.. You never know..
Relax and enjoy your holiday.. Good chance to bond.. Don't buy any prepaid card there.. Then lesser chance for your hubby to play Hp.. It's good to have a break from TTC then can enjoy BD better..
Looks like you are pretty well prepared.. Maybe by may, one strike and bingo!
Sleep early.. Get well soon and plan for a holiday with your hubby..

Hi ladies, jus wanna hear your opinion.. I've bought a new pack of cheap OPK from a new seller.. Wanna test if it is good and accurate.. I've shared earlier that i tested with clearblue ovulation test kit at 7.15pm just now and has gotten a smiley face (positive). 5 mins ago , I decided to test using the cheap OPK to see if this batch of new OPK is working and I've gotten two lines .. Can share if you think the cheap OPK looks positive to you? By right , the result should tally with the clearblue ovulation test kit.. It looks dark lines to me but I wanna hear your opinion.. If the cheap OPK is working, then I'll continue to use them.. I bought 50 of them to test test

Looking back at how I TTC last year, I think I made two big mistakes:
1) I followed closely to the fertility apps estimated date of ovulation .. Those are jus an estimation, can't rely completely.. Silly me !
2) when I started using clearblue ovulation test kit, I only bd a few days b4 I detected a smiley face on clearblue.. And then bd when I detected smiley face . The moment I see empty circle (means negative) on clearblue, I stopped bd .. My Chinese sinseh reminded me that the smiley face means detect LH surge.. The egg may release 1-3 days later .. Though clearblue may show empty circle (negative ) after two days , she advise to still continue to bd.. She said some women even release egg as late as 5 days later after LH surge is being detected.. So don't stop bd so quickly..

Heheh.. I can understand
me too, last year near the estimated ovulation period, I also bugged my hubby to bd alternate days .. There is once I even ask him to do daily near ovulation period cos I Kia Su.. Worry will miss the boat .. He is very funny.. Raise up his arms in surrenderness and pretend to faint on the bed then he told me to do whatever I want with him feel really bad Loh... machiam we treat them like sperms-producing machine.. Heheh.. Very poor thing Yes, you must do that .. To ensure you cover all bases
good analysis angel !
i also suspected that i am those that even with smiley face, i might not O but only few days later cos temp is not increasing immediately.

Ya, that is why it is good to jus continue to bd after detected positive on OPK. Did u do that for this cycle?
Actually I really don't know how to read bbt chart and can't be sure whether I've ovulated and if yes, when did i actually ovulated .. That is why I find it helpful to let my Chinese sinseh look at my bbt chart and she will examine and tell me if I've ovulated and on which cycle day.. I find it very helpful.. Take last cycle as an example.. Clearblue shows smiley face on CD 11 and 12 only. From CD13 onwards, clearblue shows empty circle (negative ).. But when my Chinese sinseh look at my bbt chart, she told me I actually ovulated on CD15. Last year when I TTC, the moment I saw empty circle, I actually rest and then didn't bd so actively liao.. So I really think taking bbt and using clearblue ovulation test kit + OPK is very helpful and shed lights to help me understand my body better

Hi ladies! I am new here but am also ttc like all of u. Just want to ask if you all BD on alternate days near O or everyday? I feel safer if Bd everyday but scared DH's sperm quality will be affected.
not sure how the estrogen tracking would work differently, because it also drops upon LH surgeSo does it means the LH surge is over liao? Today my boobs feels tender. So I'll have to check my bbt for next few days to confirm whether I ovulated.. I used the clearblue ovulation test stick.. So it track estrogen level , is it? Sorry, I very blur blur one
i still stick to alternate days... just to be sure the sperm quality/maturity is maintained, and relying more on faith that my CM can keep the sperm alive for >1day

Cox apparently cheapies can detect high LH. But ur monitor acts as another level to confirm u are going to ovulate when it can detect estrogen. I think u probably going to O today on tmr already. When u take ur temp today did it dip? If ur temp works like a textbook version and dipped Meaning u are going to o anytime today. Then tmr u will see a spike in ur temp.So does it means the LH surge is over liao? Today my boobs feels tender. So I'll have to check my bbt for next few days to confirm whether I ovulated..

Today I totally missed temp cox I'm still having. Fever and didn't hear the alarm ring at all. That day I had a dip in temp also same day I got positive on monitor plus cheapies. But at night cheapies negative already monitor was still positive. Then I has cramps and bloating (I would like to believe ) it's probably ovulating cramps. Next morning my temp rises.
