I am not entirely sure abt your question coz never thought abt it. Hee... I guess once test positive, it means egg is ready for release which should mean it is of ok/mature size bah... Else why only positive at that time? Any other time when egg is not ready can also be positive.
The only thing I know which can be an issue with positive OPK is that the mature egg never rupture/release ie we never O even if test positive. Coz positive OPK means it detects the LH surge prior to ovulation but doesnt mean that we will definitely O. In this case, cannot get pregnant for that cycle.

nb01>> has been asking myself is it due to my health problem lead to ttc so long still bfn? although can detect O last cycle, but is the egg mature enough to produce result? thats why is hesitating should i go for a gynae scan for egg mature or not?

No worries. It also happens to me. Hee..

Thinking back to what my gynae said, he saw the mature egg 18mm and then told me will O within 1-2 days and told me to test OPK and BD if I wanted. So I guess by this, it means positive OPK = mature egg? Other ladies, want to correct me if I am wrong?
You only tried OPK for 1 cycle right? So maybe other times you pinpoint O incorrectly coz I remember you tested positive quite early in the cycle when you weren't expecting it right? But of course could be other issues like egg not mature or egg mature but never release. If you haven't seem a gynae before, also good to see one just to check if you don't mind. No harm done.

Even if we have O pains and +ve OPK, still doesn't guarantee we will O. All depends in our bodies. So yes, there are so many obstacles. Sigh... I think only way to confirm if we O is to scan. So pple do go for 2 scans - 1 before O to see mature egg and 1 after O to confirm egg got rupture/release.
Mrs Ho
Can't remember how long are your cycles but guide is to start testing from minus 17 days of shortest cycle length. ie if your cycle is 28-30 days, minus 17 from 28 and start testing from CD11.

Hi ladies, can I join you all? I m also TTC but unsuccessful!
I enjoy reading ur messages and in fact hv learnt alot of things. As I don't wish to tell anyone that I m TTC, I hv no one to ask or talk to about this stuffs. I don't wish to tell friends or family cos they will get excited n start wondering what is wrong with me if I m unsuccessful. This thread is awesome.
I m now taking royal jelly, zinc n this new supplement called Maca. Apparently is a fertility boost but more natural compared to Vitex I think. Just started taking all these cos desperate already! Anyways I wonder if taking all these extra supplements including Yam in diet will hv consequences..n will all these make u gain weight?? Sian la to put-on weight but no baby!

Hi PhyLee..I tried that too but I could not tahan the smell...after two strips I felt like throwing up after taking it..so I stopped.
Girls..for insensitive remarks..this is what I do..I usually tell people that my life is perfect without a baby and I am happy. When I decide to have 1, I will call them for advice or throw a party for all the KPOs. It really shuts ppl up and gives you less stress.
Whether or not I have managed to handle my -tive HPT, I hv learnt the art of shutting ppl up when they ask such things. So irritating!

starrie>> I'm cd 11 today too!!! but i quite kiasu.. i started testing yesterday.. mine is 30 days cycle. do you test everyday? actually i dont test everyday.. i only test on the days i dont BD. cause i BD on alternate days since last thursday.. so on non BD then i'll test..
yes yes happygolucky.. the conceive well pills are really hard to swallow but bobian lei. Have to eat for the sake of healthy bb. haha. I find that it helps in my EWCM. I used to have very little, if not none at all, before taking the pills.
chew88, you have been on clomid for almost a year? I thought clomid at most 6 months? Im on 5th month of clomid (with breaks in between)
You can get the Blackmores Conceive Wells pills from Guardian, Watson, Unity etc. I think Unity is having 20% off? Better go grab a box if you like to try! Retail at $46 per box (I think) for 28 capsules + tablets.

phylee: what is EWCM?
Chew88: Tell ppl 50 years also can give birth so they need not worry for you..N for ppl who tell you they are a mother now and they go married later..ask them " Won't you pay to be in my shoes..to have the freedom to do whatever you want? I can have a baby anytime but can you go back to the time you had as much freedom as I do now?") Ppl are so insensitive these days and that includes my own sister. always say I m old and if I dun have a baby soon, my child might not be normal..argh!

This mucus resembles the eggwhite and is transparent and stretchy. Extremely friendly for the little spermies! You would usually have that cervical mucus before your ovulation so it's good to BD at that time.

Drink so much tea! Overdose lah...

Tks for your well wishes for my dad! Didn't spot you so might have "lost" you along the way. Welcome and join hands in TTC journey!
bearGE
Yea.. I was thinking you probably O early and didn't know. Coz CD11 is very very early to O. Maybe this month you will see 2 lines in both OPK and HPT? After all, you got so many to play with right? Hee...
Mrs Ho
Can use average for OPK testing but I would advise to use shortest cycle length of 28 days if you really don't want to miss O. Coz like bearGE, her cycles were longer than usual so she thought might O later but turn out she O so early and her cycles are back to normal. Our bodies are strange creatures so better safe than sorry. But up to you.
SJX
Which tube is it? Right side? Right side = right tube for July = Strike! Haha...
I went for scan based on calculation of my dates. Coz I suspected I would O around those few days so I just scheduled my pap smear and scan and it was just so lucky that I saw the eggy! I didn't test any OPKs before that coz no point since I wasn't going to try that cycle.
Starrie
35 - 17 = CD18 to start testing. CD11 is still a bit too early but if want to play, can try from CD15. Hee...
gingerbreadger
Advise is to test everyday and not skip days coz best time to BD and catch egg is to BD on night of +ve OPK and subsequent days. Anyway, 30 - 17 = CD13 so can start testing on CD11 if you want. You should be O-ing soon! Good luck!
Btw, use cheap OPKs to test daily and when you think positive, then use Clearblue to double confirm. Then not so xiong on you.
As to when to stop testing, I would say minus 10 days from AF due date coz anything less than 10 days from O to AF due date is considered luteal phase defect but doubt you will have it.
