Ovulating ??

I have been ttc for a couple of months now and after reading about how successful the ovulation sticks are I baught some off ebay... I tested 3 days ago and there was nothing and then Yesterday was a very faint line and then Today much darker but not as dark as the control line ... I am having an egg like discharge as well since Yesterday (sorry TMI) ... knowing that my husband is studying at the moment for his tests in June and will only agree to do the baby dance a couple of times ... Should I start the baby dance tonight or wait intil I get a clear +ve perhaps Tomorrow ... help pleaseeee xx

The line needs to be darker, not aware there needs to be anything else to look for. One of the problems I had was i was initially testing in the morning but it actually should be later on in the day and you need not to have had loads and loads of fluid as well just to make things more difficult. The little swimmers last a few days inside (TMI!!) so every 2/3 days apparently is optimal. Fingers crossed for you x

Thanks girlies ... we did the baby dance last night just in case and I will give him a break Today and try again Tomorrow ... I just tested Today and the line is confusing me as half of it is lighter than the control line and the other half is same colour ... does it have to be same colour and size/shape ... am I being thick or does this mean a -ve test ... ohhh God I'm confused lol ... help please xx

hey hun, did you buy them little stips? as if the line isnt as dark as the control line then it means a negitive, the line has to be the same colour or stronger than the control line, i have been using different makes for awile now and they usualy say the same thing, i also found this the last two months i was usuing them from ebay as i was having egg white but that can last for a few days before and after, ive read some were that its 9 days in total, i was testing the wrong time so i was getting the faint line i almost thought id stopt ovulating lol, so this month i felt my ovary twinge and when i needed the loo it was when i wiped my self sorry for detail there was loads of egg white and i just had a feeling to test and it cam back poss, i then relaised id been testing at the wrong time of my egg white stage, id keep on testing and STILL doing the baby dance before and after. good luck hun

ps sorry for the spelling mistakes there :)

i would start straight away you should definatly hit your fertile time and sperm lives for a few days so if u not ovulating today, you do baby dance and you will have a few days stored up, hope this helps hun x x x

Hi, I would definately start the baby dance as soon as the test tine on the sticks is the same colour as the control line. I used Ovulation sticks for the first time this month and my test was like yours and the line got darker until it was the same colour as the control line and then we started the baby dance. I am now on my tww now so hope this helps and fingers crossed. xxx
