Who wants to buddy up?!

Just got my cross hairs a day earlier than expected on my ff app! Meaning it thinkd I ovulstrd 3 days ago, but I am not at all convinced. My temp was back down this morning but just a bit higher than normal do I think I'm 2dpo with fallback rise. No idea why it thinks it happened the day earlier. But at least the endless DTD can finally end after a 5 night run.

No it was early afternoon. No the line had gone after a while? I think I'll give it a couple of days then take another test if need be :-) I'll get a more expensive one next time, on a seperate not they shouldn't be allowed to charge how much they do for tests it's ridiculous!!

I don't know, was it first morning wee? Is the line still on the first test? Maybe take a photo for us to give an opinion on? They say a line is a line, but cheaper tests can give rare false positives. Why not get a supermarkets own brand of you don't want to spend much. Best get a definite answer for your own peace of mind.

Ah it did come up straight away although it was the same pink as the other line only a lot lighter/fainter. I think that's what it was especially as the one I took after was a definite negative. Thank you

An evap line is an evil thing. It's when there's a ghost line causes by wee evaporating off the strip. They're usually colourless or grey and often come up when the test dries, but can come pp instantly. But it makes you think your pregnant when its negative

Sorry what's an evap line I'm so new to all this! They were firstvue ones, cheap ones from poundland. Although I would prefer to wait until after the wedding my view is if I am then it was meant to be (I'm a great believer in fate). I think I'll wait a couple of days and do another test if still not had AF! I am 95% sure I'm not as we have been so so careful!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Thank you for the advice x

Could have been an evap line? What test did you use? The clear blue cross one is notorious for coloured evaps. Either way test in the am!! If you were pregnant how would you feel?

Also I think it may have been the case of hearing up to and not actually ovulating, so five nights it is. I think my temp was down to daylight savings and if it wasn't and I have ovulated already a second egg means double chances of one being sticky!

Soooo...after posting on here I realised I'm 4 days late. Did one pregnancy test today which came up as a really faint positive and a second which came up as a firm negative about 10 mins after. Me and my oh are super careful as I came off the pill a while ago and we didn't want any accidents before the wedding. I'm thinking the first test was probably invalid? Anyone had similar experiences?

It's sooo complicated!! You spend your whole life trying not to get pregnant and it's not until you actually want to get pregnant that you realise how difficult it actually is!!

I'm pretty sure your body can gear up to ovulate then not actually do it but then ovulate a few days later. As the opk only senses the change in hormones in your body it would read the 'gearing up to ovulate' as a positive. Alternatively, you can ovulate twice in 1 month, that's how you get non-identical twins :) Either way, I think you should make it 5 nights in a row to be safe.

You lot that are waiting have my respect! Its so hard to wait when you really want it. Let's hear about these weddings then! I love a good wedding!

Also those of you who do opks anyone have any advice. Four days ago got a positive opk, stayed positive for 2 days, negative yesterday, negative this morning. This afternoon I got a positive again! And ovulation pain. My temp jumped up this morning indicating ovulation, but at the same time daylight savings messed up the timing and reliability. Shall I make it five nights in a row?

Ah hope you have more luck this time. You must be getting really excited now. Hope your OH gets better soon!
Unfortunately there wont be any honeymoon babies. I will be scuba diving and on anti-malarials...... which dont really mix with pregnancy!
But the day we return- let the dtd-marathon commence!

Ah so lvoely there are a few of us in the same position.
I have a gut feeling that it might take me quite a while to fall pregnant. Dont really know why but I am sure of it. We have been together 8 years, havent exactly been careful and no accidents (although I know that doesnt mean much.
Fly to Cyprus a week today for wedding. Then 3 weeks honeymoon and then FINALLY start TTC. More excited about that then wedding and honeymoon!!

Fourth night in a row is dedication! Our dtd-marathon starts on April 2nd...might do opks as well though, just to be sure...not that I'm obsessing (much)!!

Does anyone know much about caffeine while ttc? I'm a coffee lover but have cut back to just 1 a day (size medium from Costa/Nero or similar), could this still effect chances of conception? I didn't cut coffee out last time, had a way more stressful job at the time than I do now too and wasn't trying too hard at ttc but it seemed to work. Seems like a total lottery to me!

We do sound like we're in a similar position. We tried the every other day thing, but after a month with no ovulation I caved and got opks, I just could not be arsed with all that sex any more! Going for our fourth night in a row tonight. I am knackered! Thank goodness our daughter is a good sleeper or I'd never cope with this TTC lark!! More sex than we had as teenagers.

Cuppasarah sounds like we're similar then.

I'm not temping, have been using the ovulation sticks for the last 5 cycles but don't think I'm going to bother this month. New strategy is to dtd every 2 days for the middle 2 weeks of my cycle (optimistic with a toddler!)

My little girl is just over 2 and she was a lovely surprise as we weren't trying but weren't preventing. We were even timing intercourse to avoid pregnancy. We've been trying since September for number 2 though. I had a weird mega cycle that lasted 3 months though, so not as many cycles as it should have been.

I can't wait to hear about these weddings, we started TTC just after our wedding! Also anyone else here temping? Because I was due to ovulate last night and daylight savings fucked my chart so hard I don't know if I got a temp spike or not!

Ooh me too please!

(Feels more real now that I've announced it to the internet)

Hi Sophiabella, it was about 3 cycles with our first but we were pretty relaxed about it all. We've been trying to time it all right each month this time and still no joy, sigh. I know it's not been a long time really but it feels it! Haha, impatient! My little girl is nearly 2. Have you been trying for long?
