re: OPK testing
1. To those who want to know when to start testing, the guide is to minus 17 days from your cycle length. e.g. if cycle length is cycle length is 30 days, start testing from CD12. Of course, you might want to test earlier but 17 days is assuming a normal luteal phase of 12-16 days so think they buffered it a bit.
For those with irregular cycles like me, I test only when I see stage 2 CM so don't waste $$$. Hee...
http://www.fertilinet.com/Cervical%20Fluid%20and%20Fertility.htm
2. Do not use first morning urine to test (unlike HPT). Test between 12noon and 8pm and reduce water intake before you test.
It is recommended to try to hold it in for 4 hours before testing but I think if can hold for 2-3 hours, it is quite good already. I only hold for that amt of time and can still test positive.
3. Test at the same time everyday and if you want, test twice a day. Coz the LH surge before O lasts abt 24-36 hours so if you don't test regularly at the same time, you might miss it.
Wah... I sound so pro!! Hahaha...

i am back
SJX,
I put estimated date to be 3rd Jun ok? Easier for me to sort.
peapea,
AF reported last night/today. Had spotting at night and put a pad and this morning, it was full (sorry if TMI). Dunno what is wrong with my system. AF and OPK +ve always at night. Sigh.. Maybe I wake up late in the morning so it thinks it is still afternoon. Hahaha...
Anyway, New cycle new hope! Now changing my trip itineary a bit coz I think when I am O-ing, we were supposed to go hot spring but don't think I can go now. Hubby also said be KS a bit and don't go. Hee...

peapea,
Just read your post abt the gynae. Who are thinking of going to? I remember you want to go TMC and to a male gynae right?
Wahaha... I am impressed with my good memory! Hahaha...
SJX,
I am only taking folic acid and multi vit tablet with supplements like vit b, vit C, iron, etc.. No DHA. I also thought take DHA only when pregnant, but seems like Lynzi says can take.
chattybear,
I also have PCOS but never take clomid to induce O coz I am O-ing naturally. Not sure what I did but I tio my body for abt 1 year and seems ok. *fingers crossed* So still got hope for you if you don't want to take clomid.
Maybe what you can do is to scan for the egg (follicle tracking method as they call it here) and see if you can see the egg that is going to O and then confirm with OPKs. That is what I did which is how I know I am O-ing naturally so my gynae says no need to do anything else and let nature take its course. Alternatively, you can take the jab to release the egg if after 1 or 2 cycles, you didn't strike coz maybe the egg didn't release.
E-cups,
Don't worry so much abt the spotting. Maybe it is nothing? As long as no see red, still got hope! Chin up!
I think if you test positive, reduce housework especially in 1st tri coz might not be stable yet. Also, depends if you are pantang or not, some pple believe in not attending weddings and baby shower. For me, I am not really pantang but I know baby shower is a no-no but weddings can still consider. But 1 of my close fren who got preggie pulled out of attending another close fren's wedding next month. I think they just didn't want to take the risk. I also believe better safe than sorry.

peapea,
What braised chicken did you make? Share share.. The one I make is the one with star anise, cinnamon, cloves and braise with dried mushrooms, chicken and egg.
What other recipes you want? I tend to cook quite simple things and more "local" food that you can get easily outside so no point making. Like chicken rice, prawn mee soup, chwee kueh etc... Learnt them from my overseas days coz got craving and have to DIY but now in SG, outside cheaper and nicer! haha...
Bake and make desserts more. Haha...

sigh... dh just called to say he has to travel to Japan for work... i know im being silly... but i think the radiation is going "damage" his troops... so there goes my chances of BFP liaos...
<font color="000080">E-cups >> Oh yar, with regard to going for weddings hor... if you are pantang then BFP they say better don't go, cos auspicious event cannot clash. On ppl's wedding, the happy couple's luck is at max, so everybody else will "lose". If that's the case I'm sure your friend/relative will understand lar.</font>
re: OPK testing
hahaha... Tks for the "compliments". Just sharing what I know.. Hee...
Btw, 30 - 17 = 13 days. Type too fast in my example and now cannot edit. So if cycle is 30 days, test from CD13. If cycle is 31 days, test from CD14, and so on...
Mrs Ho,
If you have been testing with first morning urine (FMU), then not accurate. Only with Clearblue Fertility Monitor, then can test with FMU. But never mind, now you know and got cheap strips to play with! Hahaha...
E-cups,
Testing at 10pm is still ok. Coz I test twice a day. Around 1-2pm and then 10-11pm. And I still get positive. But if you don't get positive, it could be because your surge is less than 24 hours or just nice, 24 hours.
See this: http://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html#12
For all the other pple, I posted this link before and think it is quite useful. It answers most of our questions like when to test, how to test, why do I not get +ve etc...

peapea,
Checked but no email leh...
Tedious but nice!
Baby shower and wedding is no-no coz like tethysea said, clash of auspicious events. Depends on what you believe in but they say bad luck will befall on one party. I think for weddings, it is befall on the couple (but I thought it is befall on the pregnany one) and for baby shower, maybe it is the pregnant one? I also dunno much but I just know pple tell me baby shower aka full month cannot attend while pregnant.
peapea and Mrs Ho,
Yea.. I know hubby cannot go hot spring too. Which is why need to change location. Going back to Taiwan!
Checked but no email leh...

peapea,
*blush* Tks for the compliments. But I think lynzi is a better cook since she makes from scratch! Hee...
I am not sure abt butter... I think in moderation should be ok bah... I am still eating cookies now and then.
lynzi,
I am going to have a light soup later. Haven't decided what yet. Still not hungry and feeling crampy...
bearGE,
Sorry for confusing you but I thought it might help to answer the questions you ladies are having.
If you have any problems testing, just ask! But basically, just follow the 3 principles I posted and you should be fine.
I posted the link to answer the more "detailed" questions especially why you don't get positive coz some gals have been complaining they never get positive and they test everyday. As she mentioned, her surge in 1 cycle was less than 24 hours so if you test once a day, you might miss it.
