Post subject: Using internet cheapie OPKS
It says on instructions to pee in a container and leave it about 20 mins to reach room temperature before testing. Is this absolutely necessary? I'm going to be at work when I test so would find it much easier to just POAS.

Do any of you just POAS and get accurate results on these?

Thanks Bekki. Thinking I'll start CD10 which is Tues. Take it you have to pee in a pot rather than directly on the test stick then? xx

Yes thats the only downside to the cheapies. Massive fingers crossed they work for you, an hopefully you have just been getting timing slightly off.

Think back to the Deanna Plan now xxx

Thinking of being less regimented about it tbh, doing opks but only so I know when to expect af. No way I could get him to do the Deanna plan - all the fun has been sapped from our sex life over the past nearly 2 years. xxx

lol good idea Lexismum! Doing opks def helped me to know when to expect af, although I'm terrible at remembering to do them. I never wait either although I do try to remember not to eat or drink for 2 hours before taking them. Don't know if it makes any difference.

Another question...I've tried a couple of times taking EPO during 1st half of cycle just in case there is a CM issue causing problems. It turns me into a psychobitch so I won't take it any more. Seem to remember ppl saying about a particular ingredient in cough medicine which can help(think you took it didn't you Bekki?). What is the ingredient and which brand of medicine did you take(to Bekki and anyone else who knows/has taken it.)

Thanks ladies!

Wicky, Thanks, well reminded - think I'll have to watch my liquid intake in the AM.

Lubes present their own problem. Too much moisture = slippage.

Just worried in case it's not the right consistancy. I've ordered some of tescos own now, found ingredient online and the ingredient that helps CM is the only active one in the Tescos stuff so sounds good to me. How much are you supposed to have - just what the bottle says as though you are taking it for a cough? xxx
