Haha, I did 3 months using the supplements Luisa said and nothing and so decided to spend my money on the clear blue connect this month instead. Im currently on day 3 of flashing face will report back in 3 weeks!Yes I was impressed by the reviews, they may work for you? I just decided to try a cheaper option this month as I spent a bit on the Luisa zuissaman recommended supplements too

I’m so confused reading through the thread. I’m not sure what all the abbreviations mean etc. We’ve started trying this month after a miscarriage two years ago. I haven’t bought ovulation sticks or anything? Do I have to have them? We’ve just been having sex when I’m due to ovulate and a couple of days either side of that date. I don’t know if I’m downplaying it. Last time I got pregnant in the first month of trying but obviously it ended in miscarriage so now I don’t know what to do.
You can Google ttc (trying to conceive) abbreviations and find the meanings or feel free to ask and we can help!
You don't have to use ovulation sticks if you don't want, sounds like you're having sex at the right times
natural cycles has confirmed my ovulation in the first month I’ve been temping and using OPKs! Quite a big spike from 35.90 to 36.18! I’m so happy! 
I hope it’s not just a fluke, I really didn’t think I ovulated! I don’t get any symptoms or CM! Hopefully everything else hormone wise is all ok that’s needed to make a baby.

So I took a test today for my birthday & the day of my expected period on 2 apps and 1 days before on another app, the test was negative 
I’m not letting it ruin my day, I’m just going to have a small glass of wine tonight and try again next cycle after my period decides to show

I had the same AF showed up a day early on my birthday 
. Fingers crossed for the next cycle. I’ve just worked out my hubby will be working away during my next fertile window so I’m out for another month 
Thank you!Happy birthday
Its so frustrating isn’t it, I can’t believe how small our fertile window is! When teenagers in my school were getting pregnant at a drop of a hat I honestly thought we were fertile for 3 out of 4 weeks it seemed that easy.
Sending you love and prayers for your next cycle.
I know I feel quite naive that I had no idea the fertile window was so short! I thought I would conceive as soon as I stopped taking the pill!
A question for all of those who have used OPKs long term if you don't mind! This is my first cycle of using them as it is my first full cycle off the pill (withdrawal bleed in December and proper period 2 weeks ago).
At what point does your LH rise? Based on my last 35 day cycle I should be in my fertile window now with ovulation on Saturday. However, there's been absolutely no rise in my LH so far. I'm testing first thing in the morning and have tested in the afternoon for the last few days where the line is even lower - borderline non existent. I drink a lot of water but I've been making sure I'm not drinking anything 2-3 hours before testing in the afternoon. Also no shift in BBT or change in CM.
Does it suddenly shoot up, could it appear later than anticipated or sometimes does it not show at all?
Any advice welcome! Thank you

It's only my second cycle using OPKs but when I started I was desperate for any advice I could find!
During my first cycle I tested once a day from CD6 until CD10, then I tested twice a day until I saw my first High levels on CD19, followed by the peak on CD20, then another High on CD21 followed by low levels until AF came (I stopped tracking at CD22). My last cycle was at 33 days.
This cycle I started tracking once a day at CD9 and started twice a day again on CD11. Too early to test twice a day technically but I do it because I am still relatively new to tracking and I want to be sure that I am not missing my increasing levels. I don't know for sure if I will see a peak on CD20 again this cycle or not!
My point is, looking at your screenshot, it looks like you are consistently testing once a day. I'd recommend testing twice a day to be sure you aren't missing anything! Also, our LH levels are highest between 12:00 pm - 20:00pm, I can see that you are testing quite early in the morning. Not sure if you are able to test later during the day, I test at around 12:30 pm and 16:30 pm, but this was after some trial and error.
Of course, there might be other causes for example that you have a longer cycle this month but I am not a doctor and only providing speculation here. I know how frustrating OPKs can be so hang in there x
Looks like I’m out for this cycle...AF due tomorrow and just had a massive temp dip below cover line. Negative test yesterday.
I have 62 day cycles so next shot will be in march- although work have really pissed me off today so I’m currently looking at new jobs so obviously gone on a totally self destructive mission to delay TTC 
I should also be getting my fertility referral in April which still feels ages away but only once cycle between now and then!

Well my period is due today and no sign yet. Usually greets me first thing in the morning 
too scared to test though (and I don’t have any) pretty pointless post I guess

Posted the wrong thing on the wrong thread.... sorry!
but thought I’d join as I’m in the TTC club too!
Been using CB OPKs since last month as I skipped a period (stressful time and lost a load of weight) so didn’t have a clue what was going on with my cycle or life.
I think I’m back to normal’ish now with a 35 day cycle (was 58!).
I had the strangest cycle this month though, I had all tell tale pregnancy signs and AF showed up... it was very painful, heavy and had a few clots period.... I’m wondering whether I had an early CP?
Can CPs affect your next cycle?
Happy birthday queen, we can do this. Get excited for the next cycle

Thank you! I’m only on tattle because my fella thought it was a good idea to book a boiler repair
Good luck! Have you ordered any tests or are you going to hang on a few days?Well my period is due today and no sign yet. Usually greets me first thing in the morning
Trying to wait until next week (or if my period comes) still no sign. Don’t even feel like I’m coming on, usually get bad cramps the day before. My partner on the other wants to test ASAP but I guess he’s just super excited to be a dad again. Me it just fills me with nerves after all my previous losses. We got a faint on a first response at 9dpo but I think it was probably an indent (I posted it further up this thread, but the quality of the photo after I posted was terrible) and I’ve not tested since. Whatever will be will be I guess.
I understand, have everything crossed for you x
Hello all, I'm so sorry to post this here when it might not be the right place, and this may sound stupid, but is this definitely positive!? I took the bottom one yesterday and the top one just now.
I think I'm in such disbelief because I got told there's no way I'd be able to conceive... And then this. I'm also feeling nauseous on and off and my lower back is aching.
I'm sorry if this seems like fishing or something but I genuinely feel like I need another opinion before I tell my husband to make sure I'm not seeing things!
