First time TTC

Just completed tough mudder. Post that was hard. Had to skip three out of twenty five obstacles as too dangerous for sprog. Shattered now.

Thank you @Mrstobe90 and @Magpie24.

@Mrstobe90 how are you feeling?

@Magpie24 Could be. I had implantation bleeding not long after ovulation so it possibly could be. How exciting xx

Can't believe how much good news there has been here since I've been on (busy at work). Truly amazing. Congratulations to everyone who got their BFPs!

@Mrstobe90 do you think people will suspect when you don't have a drink at your wedding? So exciting.

Few days past ovulation here (cycle 2) and been very emotional and weepy for past two days, early pregnancy symptom?! Trying to be hopeful!

Right, WTF. Clearblue OPK says high SIX days in a row despite no peak, and today I've creamy CM but it's still says high (despite that I can hardly see any line with my eyes.).

I'm starting to call bullshit on these tests.

Eeek! I feel the positive-ness of this thread! Congratulations both!

Thank you @FrowningFlamingo. Haha nothing wrong with a little bit of nautical clothing. Enjoy 😊😊

Ooo I look away for a second and there's loads of good news! Massive congrats dinosaur and MummyG! That's a good going BFP there!
Oops, sorry McTufty and fefi! Must pay more attention...

Don't worry too much about those repeat tests - the nature of all these hormones is that they fluctuate so it's really common to need a retest to make a proper conclusion :)

On my way to the boat now. I've deliberately only packed nautical striped clothing to wind up my father in law . Apparently I embarrass him in front of all his posh boating friends...

Finally let me load it. Thank you @TheLovelyOtherDinosaur

Got it, keep calm and dance on It's going to be a good week ahead!

Yey mummyG x2 BFP in a day!! Congratulations!!

(At least that's what I've come to understand - please correct me if that's a load of shite!)

High OPK 5 days in a now but no peak yet...

(We DTD regardless of OPK as a) not 100% reliable and b) don't want the outcome of a negative test to impact my mood/ depress me etc etc or testing obsession will be all consuming)

missy
sorry, I did a poor job of explaining that haha, shag any time! It's just the OPK will have a better chance of detecting the hormones later on (even 5pm) - the thing about OPK is that sometimes they don't detect the hormones even though you are in fact ovulating (levels too low to be read, but everything still in working order) - that's what I've read in many instances here on the boards. That's why it's helpful to not rely on them too much.

Rule no1: shag as often as possible 😂

Ok, I will try that. Feeling positive about this coming week after so much good news on this thread this week! Cant do much about a smiley face mid afternoon though @Adrianaweatherwax. How long is the surge window of opportunity is it a matter of hours or do you have the rest of the day DTD

Fx for the blood tests Fairy. I ignored Ovia and just started testing 2 days after end of AF. What time of day do you test?

I would test in the afternoon Missy, my morning ones were negative but afternoon (after 1pm) flashing smiley. Something to do with a surge in the morning but not detectable until afternoon ? Took months however, as I used to test after lunch and get negatives also.

Yeah I plan to use it has of tomorrow as had first site of sticky CM today.

Is it enough to test with the OPK in the morning first thing or can the result change during the day?

Thank you @MissyEm. Fingers crossed for everyone testing this weekend

I do, although I think mine is out of the average sync. I've been using ovulation sticks all though my designated fertile period but they've all come out extremely low.

Hence the blood tests

Did you guys use Ovia to calculate O?

Lots of BFP dust going on this weekend.

That's great news @MummyGofboys.

Will there be any more good news stories this weekend I wonder.......?

@McTufty Just put it all into ovia pregnancy and I'm apparently four weeks today so that's maybe why Iv not had a positive until today. Xx

@McTufty it's so strange because Iv always used clear blue digital and the day i was due had a positive. Not this time so I don't really trust them now. Strange. Will upload a pic of test once it lets me. Said Iv uploaded to many 😩😩

Ah. Apparently the digital ones aren't very sensitive is that right? Still seems strange but who cares I'm really pleased it turned out well!

I ask only because I was reading up on whether tests actually are 99% accurate on the day of the missed period or not - apparently they're not so interesting the experience you've had!

Thank you @FairyAnn

@McTufty My most fertile day according to ovia was the 31st of May. I had spotting on the 2nd and 3rd. I used clear blue digital tests and none of them picked it up. Ordered a pack of two first response and it picked it up today. Iv felt rotten for a week and a half. I'm trying to upload a picture but it won't let me do will try tonight.

mummyG that's amazing! Remind me how many DPO you are? So strange it was negative even a couple of days after missed period! What test did you use? Aaaarhh so excited for you!

fairyAnn

Welcome! Sorry it's been taking a while for you. I echo what adriana says, redoing a test isn't indicative of a problem, more that something may be inconclusive or even that the lab messed up. Stick around and let us know how you get on
