Hello lovely ladies.....hope the months going well for you all x

Been back on the CBFM for the first time since TTC this time (used it TTC No1 and then reset for No2) and as I'm aware the first month is a bit of a learning month for it, I decided to order a bucket load of IC OPK's as well. (30MUI I think?). They were the ebay fertilityplan ones.

Now I had 5 days of highs on my CBFM, followed by a peak yeasterday and today. But, I've been using OPK's morning noon and night as well (god I'm such a POAS addict) and whilst I started to get a faintish line 2 days ago, getting a bit darker until yesterday, it never got as dark as the control line, as it said it should be to be positive. Today its back to very very faint.

So do you think I've ov'd? Does it get really dark (as dark as the control line) on the IC OPK's? I have nothing to compare it against? Can someone who has used them let me know whether I'm expecting too much from them and should I trust my CBFM or wonder if there's some problem afoot?

Gawd, why did I seem to spend 18 years of my life avoiding getting pregnant, cos I thought it was the easiest thing ever.....and now I actually want to be....how hard is it?

Really appreciate your thoughts xx

HI Lyns, I dont think im going to be much help but seeing as we are on the same Cycle and using the same tests (unfortunatly we dont have the same body ) Er.... I tested for days and got nothing then one faint line which was really really hard to see. then nothing again then a dark line... now it wasnt as dark as the control line but near enough... Plus with the EWCM i was having i took that as a very good sign things were working according to the tests and my body they were working together and i put 2 and 2 together and hopefully got 4.

today just control line,and i feel quite dry.i dont think that the ic tests are as dark ive only ever seen one as dark as the control line and that was on a pg test with FR.

I'd trust the cbfm hon. I never managed to get a positive on internet cheapie opks and that's why I switched to the cbfm. I'd take it that you oved on your second peak day xxx

hi i also used fertility plan ovulation sticks and according to them i have not ovulated in the 4 months of ttc when i know i have, due to sore boobs , a sharp pain in my inside of hip bone all smack in the middle of my cycle. so i really wouldnt use them, also i took them to my dr and told him everything and he said they are rubbish dont use them. i know they are cheap but not worth the worry and stress of false negs . good luck though
