So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

Footprints it's quite tough because all your lines have been pretty dark!

I would dtd today, tomorrow then Wednesday if it was me!
You should hopefully be covered then :)

Have you had any sharp pains? I always think it's like where the appendix is. One side.

I really can't believe it. It just doesn't seem real at all... I'm going to have one of those early pregnancy scans

Footprints1 · 17/04/2016 11:29

Oops sorry pressed send to fast..

Radders, that's def darker line so big fat congrats!!

Sucha, sounds good.. Looking forward to see your result in next few days.

Mimi- sounds like possibly implantation?? X

SuchaJem · 17/04/2016 11:28

Footprints I'd say you're timing things spot on - keep going with DTD for the next few days Smile

So I tested today on opk and was the darkest line I've seen yet!
The clearblue digital was flashing smiley face on CD14 & CD15 and cheapy opks have been getting darker as u can see from the pic.

So do u think I still got a chance to catch egg? We didnt dtd last night but so far.. We dtd Cd10,12,13,15 (am). Will try tonight too if not too late?

Do I take ovulation from the darkest line? Or 24-36hrs after which would be tomorrow?

raddersmrs · 17/04/2016 09:51

Mimi that could implantation maybe. They say it can feel like AF cramps.

I don't think I had any implantation pains or signs because I got cramps on Friday and had a bfp on Saturday and it takes 3 days for positive to show after implantation so it must've been earlier!

I did do another test this morning and the line is darker Smile we are so happy.
Just really proves how much more sensitive FRER are! Well to the asda ones which I tried yesterday.

raddersmrs · 17/04/2016 09:46

Footprints - once you get a positive you can ovulate anywhere from 12-36 hours after. Once the line starts going faded it means the LH surge has stopped. It doesn't tell you if or when you have ovulated though.

On CD 13 I had darkish lines then CD 14 I had a really dark line, darker than control. I think I must've ovulated pretty quick for tests to be picking up positives already. Cd 15 negative.
Have you managed to dtd??

I'm 9DPO radders and usually wait until AF due to test. Been all sorts of funny stuff going on this month so my hopes are up, I've only IC's in the house though and don't want to test unless it's a FRER this early.

We are moving house today though so I feel a bit hesitant with lifting heavy stuff just in case, so wouldn't mind having an answer either way Confused

Are you testing again today?

Hope you feel brighter mimi Thanks

Did you test again this morning radders?

I'm really trying to be relaxed about everything. I'm trying to avoid buying my local pharmacy out of tests.
Today I don't feel PG or like my AF is coming.
This is so unlike me. Before the mirena I was really regular and in tune with my body. I have anxiety so this makes it 10 times worse. Sad

Footprints1 · 17/04/2016 07:45

Cd16 Star*

Jod*-Last month I tried IC which was negative and no line whatsoever even with squinting, blinking, under a lamp, and outside. So the fact u can see a faint line that is still positive.

Newhair- fingers crossed for u. X

Radders- I'm still in ovulation stage. Had positive opk fri and sat. Will test today too to see if it's finished. If it's faded does it mean I ovulated fri sat or today?

Mimilicious013 · 17/04/2016 07:03

Cd22Star woke up at 4am with pain in lower abdomen. I wonder if implantation should be that painful or af is building up Sad.feeling very low

Thank you all for your Birthday wishes yesterday xx

How is everyone today?

Suchajem when are you testing as I know you're similar CD to me?

Racja congratulations on the promotion! Good work

Footprints how are you feeling?? How many dpo do you think you are?

Tee are you fully better now

Nimisha you're best to hold off and wait like you said. Not worth caused infection. Let's hope the little egg waifs a bit!

Newhair you're doing well not testing! When is af due?

jod I really hope you get clarity too. It's not nice being in the dark. Maybe try a FRER again as they are the most sensitive???

SuchaJem · 16/04/2016 22:45

How frustrating jod Angry I hope you get some clarity soon.

Jod1985 · 16/04/2016 22:37

I did an IC but the line was so faint I figured it was an evap. I don't know what to make of it all. I don't think I am pregnant as the FRER's should have got darker

raddersmrs · 16/04/2016 18:15

Jod have you not done another pregnancy test?

I did an asda test this afternoon and it was negative. No line whatsoever. I'm hoping that's because the frers are more sensitive so picked it up rather than it being wrong
Got to wait and see tomorrow morning now. I have another FRER to do

Jod1985 · 16/04/2016 17:03

CD 33 Star if anyone finds my AF can they send her back to me?!

I have no clue what is happening in my body! Still no bleeding (apart from that brown when I wiped which I thought was implantation). Really thought AF would show with all the cramps, Back ache & sore bb's. Ah well. It's almost 4 weeks since I got the mirena removed now. Confused

newhairdontcare · 16/04/2016 12:38

Lovely news, congratulations Radders.
I on CD 27 and 9 days post ov...resisting the urge to test until af is due to make her appearance. Luckily I have no tests in the house.

Mimilicious013 · 16/04/2016 11:52

Congrats racja 🎊
Fx for u nimisha that ov waits a bit for you

Nimisha · 16/04/2016 11:45

Happy Birthday and congratulations Radders, that's amazing news.

I'm CD 13 and ff thinks I'm 3 dpo but I think it's wrong. I hope so anyway and I've done zero dtd and waiting for spotting to stop and it hasn't. It a real shame as DH was well up for "making a baby" last night and I had to turn him down Confused.

I'm over paranoid about getting an infection in my uterus after the hysteroscopy though because that can cause infertility and I don't want to risk that so no dtd until the spotting stops, I just hope it does soon.

Ff calculated my ovulation date on temps and they have been all over the place so I'm not too worried. I'm not expecting to ov for a bit yet. The OPKS have been negative and the cm (TMI) though pinkish is still watery.

SuchaJem · 16/04/2016 11:36

Hurrah! Go Racja!

Racja14 · 16/04/2016 11:03

Happy Birthday radders and so pleased for you!! Smile

I'm feeling very positive, got a promotion at work yesterday so I'm buzzing!! AF is done for the month, ready to start OPK's next week and plenty DTD!!
CD 7 Star

raddersmrs · 16/04/2016 10:36

I used FRER too xx

raddersmrs · 16/04/2016 10:35

I am CD24 today
But I didn't think I was that many dpo.. Only 9 so I didn't expect a line at all. It's clearer in real life than on the picture but still not ridiculously dark but you don't have to squint.

He is so happy. It was a lovely moment :)

Parney · 16/04/2016 09:41

We'll need you to talk us through it all! So happy for you! Best birthday ever!! And I hope little footprints enjoys his day too!

What CD are you radders? I'm CD 20 and wondering how far behind you I am! Really want to catch some of your luck Smile

SuchaJem · 16/04/2016 09:41

Happy birthday to mini footprints too CakeSmile

Radders so bloody pleased for you. Hope your oh is a happy boy too! Definitely please stay on the thread!!
