@ Carien, thank you for the reply and it makes absolute sense in what you are saying. I tried the line OPK's but the test line was way darker than the control line... who knows. Will wait and see what my temp does tomorrow.

Pinpointing ovulation is so tricky. Are you having/had any ovulation symptoms?

@JB01 - sho, really a bit unsure of your ovulation date... Did you use the CBD OPK to confirm the spike or did you use the lines one? If you used the one with lines, how sure are you that you detected the surge? As far as I know that thing can only detect up to 48 hours in advance of ovulation, and based on what you have there, you have 4 days of positives which just sounds a bit odd - not impossible, just odd. Based on your temps, I can see why FF went with thursday since you had a 0.3 degree increase which is quite a bit more than between fri-sun, but if you have a bigger spike tomorrow then I would agree that it is more so today, but you will have to wait to see what your temps are for the next couple of days

@Thandi - I also had a dentist that didn't know what he was doing :( I am actually considering to pull the tooth that's giving problems, my new dentist said that I would need 2 crowns... that rounds it off to R9000 and I am not really interested in paying that much :cry: but I am also too scared to get it pulled (terrified of dentists) lol

@Ninies - so glad to hear that your son is better. How long is your cycle?

@Mrs Smith - Holding thumbs for you :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Hi Ladies

It is great that everyone is so positive and believe that this is our month for lots of BFP's. To the ladies testing this week good luck!
I so desperately want my BFP this month!

Please can you help me as to when I ovulated?
Wed - 36.3 - little watery CM - (no symptoms) OPK+
Thurs - 36.3 - little watery CM - (no symptoms) OPK+
Fri/Sat - 36.6 - a little EWCM - (no symptoms) OPK+
Sun - 36.7 - a little watery CM - (no symptoms) OPK+
Mon- 36.7 - no CM - some cramps on my right side this morning - OPK-

FF says I ovulated on Thursday but I think I ovulated early this morning when I got some cramps and a negative OPK at 12 noon.

What do you ladies think?

@Chanti - so the quantity of your CM is not so important unless it is watery or EW type CM. If its sticky/creamy then that is a little less important. Keep track of it though, generally it will start with dry then go sticky then creamy then watery then EW and on the day that you have the most EWCM is said to be the day that you are O-ing. After you O, your CM will change almost instantly to be much less 'elastic' and will 'break' when you put it between your jumb and finger and pull your fingers apart (like showing a number 3 with your pointy finger and your thumb touching)

AFM - on CD16 today, I am still convinced I O-ed during the night of CD12 going into CD13. Earliest I have ever had it. FF is totally confused though and still has not drawn my cover lines. My temp was still low on saturday and then sunday shot up and was high again today. Will see what it does tomorrow. My CM confirmed that O was done Friday b/c it was no longer EW, more in the sticky direction.

Anyway, I am still convinced this will be my month! I just know it in my heart :)

@Ninies - yes thanks, my son is better, we had the last day of antibiotics today and he really does seem to be back to his old self :)

Hoping everyone else is doing well otherwise

Hi there Ladies!

@Inca - Seems like we are cycle buddies :0 I am CD9 today! I feel like the last two cycles we maybe BD'd too much so trying to keep it to every second day until atleast CD11... not sure if hubby will behave though!

@Thandi - So sorry about the gum infection. I hope it sorts itself out quickly. Keep rinsing with salt water it will help

@MrsSMith - It ain't over until the fat lady sings! remember your body behaves similar to pms in early pregnancy.

@Nikita - I think FF uses three consecutive days of temp rise to confirm OV so im sure you could use that same guideline

@Ninies - FX for that BFP, that kiss on the tummy is so cute.

LAdies any tips on increasing CM???
