Someone Stop Me I'm Obssesed with OPK tests!!!

October 12, 2008

So tonight I got a BFN, so time to start over again when my AF arrives... it's actually 4 days late so if it doesnt come in the next week I'm gonna have to see my doc to see what's up... anyhoot... I got on Ebay and bought so much stuff!! Guys stop me! I bought more sensors for my OV watch (lets see if I win the auction), I bought preseed, bought OV test strips that come with pregnancy tests... LOL I went overboard I know. Its what makes me feel better after a BFN... :( I also put a bid on the Clearblue Fertility Predictor... anyone used this before? Is it effective?

Hey Bella..sorry abt ur BFN, Ive been in your place too, but I was just doing the OPKs lol. I would just not use anything but the regular OPKs. It just costs too much. The Urine OPKs are really good and do the job uite well. I wouldnt trust the watch either.

Just start testing from CD 8 until you get a +. I used the Answer Brand tests which come with 20 sticks and they did the job coz sometimes I had lengthy cycles.

Ive heard great things about Preseed on the site. Dr Q also recommends good old vegetable oil if you really need a lubricant.

If you are late and got a BFN this cycle, means you didnt ovulate or ovulated later than usual. If AF never comes, then you need to get tested for a bunch of harmones and try to get on a fertility pill with the Rx from ur Dr.

I hear you... the watch has worked great for me in tracking my ov. I'm on a really regular cycle. this month I'm not sure I ovulated... had the hsg done and afterwards I bled like a period... so it might have shifted my af. When it does come we can start tracking it again... so we'll see. I went a tad nuts last night.... madness!

Hi Bella....I'm with ya on the testing thing and buying everything you can to help! I too bought Pre-Seed and a ton of vitiamins that I read where some of the vitamins in Fertilty Aid. AND I broke down and bought a Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor. Ya it was expensive but sooo much easier to read. I had been using the Answer 20 pack OPK and I don't know, it just seemed to be a pain to read. Even tried the ClearBlue Easy Digital OPK. Last month the Answer strip said positive, but digital, negative! That's why I got the monitor. SO, this month I got a positive with the monitor then at the same time did my last digital stick and got a positive with that too! Needless to say I am VERY excited! I am 3DPO right now. Good luck to you!! BABYDUST!! Oh, I used the Pre-Seed for 4 days. I hope it does the trick!
