in the section where you can add you "test opk and PG " result i see it ask for Ferning Test is it partial; full etc...
when i have 2 lines on my opk ( one fainter that the other ) i know it's negative but i didn't really know what Ferning Test mean ...i put partial is that ok?
thanks ladies!

I think ferning is that weird saliva test thing - where you look at whether it looks like ferns or not and if it does then you're fertile??! Don't know much about it but saw it on a thread a while back.

When do you normally ovulate miel? Is a faint line on CD8 early for you?

Loo

yes the ferning is the pattern you get in your saliva at ovulation (at some people at the end of their cycle too). the rest of the time it just looks like dried old saliva!

microscopes are good for people with long or irreg cycles when opks would be darned expensive, as you use them over and over again at no extra cost....but some studies say that they dont work for everyone (eg some men get ferning patterns!!).

not it's not early ...i do ovulate around CD13 usually as my cycle is only 27 days long...sometimes i can feel the "O" pain starting around CD8 ...
i planing on testing twice a day for OPK this month just to make sure ( morning and late afternoon )

bring on the BFP !!!
