CD5- Need a Buddy! I am officially Despirate.
So i've been stalking this website for the last 3 months. I've been able to calculate my cycle length (30 days).
My first day of bleeding in march was 3/21 and ended 3/24 (short bleeding this month). This leaves me at Cd5 (please correct me if i'm wrong, still getting the hang of this).
Last month I couldnt track O because of a cold I had, BD and I were taking penicilin before our anniversary trip to cut the infection and we both got a yeast infection (yikes). This was exatly during my O week and I had some icky thrush.
Going out to buy OPKs for the first time after work today. (so nervous)
Anyone want to join adventures? :-)

Jenn--the advanced (blink smiley face) test screwed me up too ! That's why I switched to the dip strips. I found out that the way they work is by detecting small changes day by day. So every time I would start it would show negative then the next day the smile face, then the next day the blinky smile. It never seemed to even matter when during my cycle I tried it. I don't use them anymore for that reason mostly but also because they're so darn expensive! I would bet today you get a smiley face. Besides, I think the instructions say to use FMU. Good luck and keep me posted bc I'm curious lol.
xoxo-- welcome and sorry to hear of your loss :( Praying that we all have better luck this go around!

Ya FMU is preferred but last night I just couldn't wait I wanted to try them out. I'm waiting on this mornings results as I type this. The instructions say they will be displayed in 8 mins lol....wow kinda long isn't it. ok drumroll please...... A solid smily face which means Peak Fertility!!! Woohoo. I did two last night the one with the blank circle and then another one around 9ish and that had a flashing smily which means "high fertility" BUT explain why opks are just under positive

Yeah that's what I was talking about with the advanced test. For some reason it does that. My thoughts are that you're getting closer and the advanced test is picking up on those minor changes. The crummy thing is that now that you have a solid smiley it takes like 48hrs for the test screen to go blank again. So that means that you can't use it until then :(. Do you have anymore test strips? I like them better because I can clearly see changes and def. positives. Sounds like you're getting close! Yay! My strips are finally getting darker, but no quite positive yet. Keep us posted!

Jenn, Yeah I would just keep testing with the strips and play the waiting game, but I would guess you're super close! :)
Lynnie-I had 3 neg. tests yesterday too and negatives today so far. I did take one with SMU and it was darker than my FMU, so hopefully I'm gearing up. Test again later today..maybe it will be stronger.
I'm getting excited for all of us!!
