Hi Booboo,
I have a maybe baby, I just got it last week. Not too sure if I am doing it right though as I got another full ferning 3 days after I supposedly Ov'd. I also did OPK's this time around & they were +ve up till Fri. I do not know how reliable they are, but I find it quite easy to use, if not to read the results, lol  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Its possible to have an estrogen peak at the end of your cycle which gives you ferning as well. That might've been what happened Na_#1? -------------

Hey Babe, TBH I have no idea.
I started getting achy legs yesterday & they are really bad today, that is normally a big sign that I am about to Ov, but I also got it before my BFP. So I did another ferning test today & I have full on ferning again, I might do an OPK when I get home coz maybe I didn't Ov last Fri like I thought?????? Although I had +ve OPK's too.......so confuzzled  ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

You will see continued ferning following conception, so a pregnancy test may be in order? OPK's will also show positive if you are pregnant. The molecular structure of LH (for detecting when ovulation occurs) is very similar to HCG. Nearly all ovulation tests are at 25-30mIU so if you get a postive result for an ovulation test when your period is due and you have a normal cycle then that means it is pretty certain you are pregnant .

BooBoo, I had 1 of these, showed nothing, so gave up on it. DH said I should have spent the money & bought a MB one. I have heard mixed reviews on them as the work for some & not others, so now I am using the old POAS, which work for me. So maybe I did not use mine right, don't know.
Oh Na_#1 think that is a common thing to have at end of cycle, was reading it somewhere, cant remember where, check FF & maybe baby site. |
