Trying for a 2016 baby

Mrs Smith: I totally understand - I struggled with just 3 hours and also almost didn't make it! Maybe tomorrow - have a wee at 10am? Try not to drink much liquid tomorrow till after testing and test at 14h00? Just a suggestion, remember I still need to perfect the opk testing myself

Thanks carien. I'm only testing once a day. I considered doing twice but not sure. Will keep up with once i think in case i ov much later than I think i do. Do'nt want to run out of tests.

Thanks Inca. Yes, we are bd'ing plenty and so I can at least rest assured that if there is an egg it will definitely be inundated by sperm LoL.

I have also read 2pm is the magical hour, so i've been aiming for that daily. And the CB website says to hold wee for at least 4 hours. I haven't been managing either
Every day i'm desparate for the loo by 11am. First day I tested at 1:30, so that was only 2.5 hours. Second day I tested at 2:15 so that had only been about 3 hours. Yesterday I tested at 12:15pm and I think for that I hadn't been to the loo since around 7am so that was at least long (5 hours). Today I deliberately went to wee at 8:30am so I wouldn't need the 11am one and what do you know? I was totally bursting by 10:30! Managed to hold it till 11:30 but that's still only 3 hours, not the 4 they recommend. So that could all be the reason. Not sure. It's just so frustrating.

@Mrs Smith - are you testing once or twice a day? If you are testing once it could be that you are missing the surge b/c they can be short apparently - could be this. So just keep going with your bd-ing I think, if there is an eggie to catch then you will catch it like you say!

Don't get disheartened! This is a happy good cycle!

Mrs Smith: Sorry about the negative opk - try not to get disheartened by it. Remember you're doing everything you can and you're bd'ing (which is the most important factor!). Are you holding your wee in for 3 hours before? I read somewhere that the best time to test is after 14h00 and when you haven't urinated for approximately 3 hours prior to testing.

Another negative opk

I will maintain my positive outlook though. If there is an eggy it WILL be caught!

@ Anzelmama: I agree with Mrs Smith - she has some good points there!
