About to try OV sticks......
Hi girls,
According to the instructions, I should start using my new OV sticks today??!!! My cycles have always been a little irregular, nothing really bad, but ranging from 25 to 30 days. On the basis that 25 is the shortest the instructions say to start testing now.
I don't believe that I am due to OV until the weekend but I suppose 'here goes'!! I do not and don't believe I have ever had ov pains (or certainly not noticed them before) and I can never quite tell if CM is wetter, stickier, whiter or anything!! Again not that I've noticed since I've understood what it means!!
Has anyone else used OV sticks? How did you get on with them? And preseed - I've got that too. I expect I'll be bding all weekend (not that bad bearing in mind it's a bank holiday!!). Anyone else at the same point in their cycle as me??
Feeling quite overwhelmed at the moment. Have had such a good feeling about this month and I still do, although PMA is wavering a little.

I have ordered supplies of these too for the next month and like you haven't used them before! When the delivery arrived this morning dh commented that "the whole 'relax' thing isn't really happening is it"!!!
They look quite complicated to me, did yours come with a chart to work out days and record temperatures on? (Mind you for 2 months I thought the EWCM was actually meant to be white in colour! doh!)
Anyway, sorry for gate crashing, af is due to arrive this weekend for me (great!) so I'm not quite with you! Just wanted to say, you're not alone and I'm sending you a bus full of pma and babydust!! Good luck!!
PS Preseed is meant to be VERY slippery! Have fun!
My ov sticks didn't come with any of what you mentioned. But then again they were off ebay!! They look like they're straight from a hospital or something (i.e. not in a box) but the seem to be fairly straight forward......
Just says not to use first thing in the morning and that I have to pee in a pot (??!!) and put the stick in that rather than peeing on the stick!!
I'll give it all a go and see how we get on! And I'm with you on the whole 'let's relax about this' thing!!! I don't think my poor DH ever expected to be a baby making machine!!!

When are due to POAS? Think I'm going to go for Sunday 8th or Monday 9th June......
Lots and lots of luck

*fingers crossed for you both*
We should keep each other posted over the next few days re ov signs etc.
I'm reckoning a hat trick would be great!!
Good luck ladies.
PS - Fran82 - my ov sticks just said that the LH is always increased in the mornings so for a more accurate reading it is best to use at a different time of day. I aim to hang on til I get home from work and do it everyday at the same time.
Keep me posted guys!!! Feeling lots of PMA about!!

Are you going anywhere nice?
I plan to make the most of all the unpasteurised cheese, pate and wine before giving it all up!
Enjoy and come back relaxed and with a BFP hopefully!!

I am on CD10 too. Planning to do lots of BDing this weekend/early next week and all going to plan (ie no AF) POAS on 9th June.
This is our 1st month of TTC too - but feeling hopeful!
Looks forward to chatting to you guys on our 2WW.
Used the ov sticks for the 1st time last night. They were pretty straight forward and I was not oving but it actually helped me feel better about the fact that I wasn't going to 'miss the boat' so to speak!!
