Hi, I used them and never ever got a positive and I used to do them pretty much every day of the month as I had such random cycles I would never have been able to guess when I was ov'ing.

And even with them all being negative I am now 10 weeks pregnant (in fact the only time I got a positive on them was when I was pg) so dont be disheartened.

hey k-lou.
I used them for the first time properly this month and got a dark line on cd17 (but not as dark as control line) then next day feint line and next day nothing so assumed ov happened on cd18 when I had the very feint line as darker line was prob the serge.
keep going with them but dont be disheartned if nothing shows as plenty of people get pg without :-)!

I got a "kind of" positive on the days that FF said I should have ov'd due to my temps. It was no where near as dark as the pack said was a positive, but I am presuming it was a positive, as that day and the next were the only days that I got any sort of colour on the sticks at all. I am going to try and make my wee a bit sronger this month (lol LOL!) as someone suggested it could have been because I had drunk too much or not held my pee in long enough, so the hormones weren't very concentrated.

OMG K-lou - me me me!!!

Ive even been thinking to ring the doctors and ask for tests now as its so obvious im "broken" and need help!
I had ewcm on friday and sunday, been having ov pains and not got anything on ov sticks!

Lst week i did get a second line up, but it was not as dark as the control line, so I take that as a negaitivbe?

Me! I must have ovulated because I'm pregnant but only started getting the second line when the test was picking up the pg hormone and not LH.

I got one day with a tiny nearly there second line then nothing. But I must have ovulated around then, I think.

Don't give up hope - just because there's no positive does not mean you're not ovulating. And my doctor was v dismissive of them - he says they are too inaccurate and a blood test is the only way to know.

Good luck ladies!

(PS I got mine from babymad.co.uk - and they ended up cheaper than eBay for some reason)

Hi girls thank you all very much for your feedback.

I don;t feel too stressed about it to be honest my temp went down this morning so i am pretty sure i have no ov yet. I have not had any more OV pains this morning and cm just lookd very wet so I am thinking today is thed day i could if OV's but really will need to see what my temp is tomorrow morning.

I think sometimes those things pick it up and sometimes they don;t. I wanted to give thema try this month but I am not sure I will carry on with them. I might just keep tracking my cm and temp and see what happens.

It's a pain though that I ov so early as I don;t stop bleeding till about CD7 and that only leave me a few days to actually bd you know.

oh ok...all the signs are there then!! I get ewcm too but for about a week which is why started to use the sticks as had no idea when it that week ov happened....cd17 for me much later than expected.
do u know how sensitive the sticks are ur using? if i need them again next month am going to get more sensetive ones (15 not 30). also maybe use twice a day?
saying all this as u take temp and are great at knowing what ur ewcm is up to maybe u dont need them....?
