Sorry just read my last post and I didn't mean to make assumptions about the BFing!

About the surge - it's a wee surge of lutenising hormone which tells the ovaries to release an egg... They always happen prior to Ov but you can have one and then not ov... generally though you get a positive on an OPK 12-48 hours before ov so you know to BD like crazy if you get a pos

You are probably best to get a themometer though if you have irregular cycles at times and then you can confirm ovulation with a sustained temp increase...

A surge oh my I can see I have a lot to learn ... I am feeling like I have wasted money on this test - I think I may look into a basal thermometer. My little one is just over a year and unfortunately I wasn't able to BF. My cycles on average are around 5-7 days, I have noticed that they are pretty regular at the moment but I can also go for 6-7 weeks without one! I want to figure this all out (today off course) as it took me ages to conceive last time I was almost of to see the Infertility docs but managed to get pregnant (in part due to losing weight), I think I am just wanting it to happen as I am feeling maybe it won't.]]> Sat, 24 Oct 2009 22:06:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29517&PID=816256&title=clearblue-ovulation-testing#816256 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29517&PID=814984&title=clearblue-ovulation-testing#814984 Author: freckle

hey hannibal, it is quite possible you missed the surge... it can be over in 6 hours! but also with irregular cycles I get a few surges a cycle and a few lots of EWCM... How olds ya wee one? are you still BFing? I'm guessing from what you say you've had a few cycles already? how long have they been?

Also if your TCC you can get much cheaper OPKs than clearblue if you shop online ]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:59:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29517&PID=814984&title=clearblue-ovulation-testing#814984 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29517&PID=814931&title=clearblue-ovulation-testing#814931 Author: hannibal

Hi, help I'm new to this tracking thing - I have irregular periods although the past couple have been like clockwork - I finished my period earlier last week and this morning I had the egg white on the paper - so I brought the clearblue testing kit - 1st one I stuffed up and I have just had to wait four hours to go to the toilet and its a no go - I am so clueless at working the damn thing out my 1st bubs is a fluke!]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:49:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29517&PID=814931&title=clearblue-ovulation-testing#814931
