November bus

@EverythingNow me too 🙄
I usually use the digital ones, but decided to just get 5 cheapies as I'm trying to give myself a break.. typically, that was the last one 🤦🏻‍♀️

@wishful30 sorry lovely I don't know. I have only ever got positives on one day of my cycle.

@mrs2018 no not definitely out. With my last bfp I got it in the afternoon at 12dpo of a frer having tested negative in the morning (And every day previously!)

Does anyone know if you ovulate 12-36 hours from your first positive opk, or the last one if you get a few days? 😐

My opk is darker than the control line again today. And my uterus is cramping on/off.,

I wonder if I'm ovulating late 🤔 anything is possible!!

Sooo 10dpo have done a frer (because I have no self control) af due Friday- it's negative- thoughts? Am I out? X

@loveshinealight yes it is 😅
I've had a teeny bit of brown spotting today, so hopefully that's ovulation confirmed then

@Wishful30 - is this the normal time you would usually ovulate?

Sorry... gotta love predictive text. Obv that should say morning 🙄

I've had a little word with myself and I'm carrying on as normal.
My opk this moribund is so positive it's darker than the control line 😂😂😂

Also wishful I agree... take a test x

Thank you @Wishful30 that's really reassuring I really appreciate it x

@Wishful30 - of its driving you bonkers I'd just take a test. No harm in it and better than obsessing over it!

Really odd question now ladies...

My LH tests are usually pretty faint, with one obvious line and a positive and then drop off pretty quick.

Stupidly I've spent all day googling 🤦🏻‍♀️

Since my last af, which was very light (I'd used progesterone pessaries) I've had on and off pinching/twinging in my uterus.
Not cramping, it's a bit one side or the other, more localised.
Now I often feel my ovulation happen, which is an obvious sharp pain, one side, one off. This hasn't happened yet.

I thought the progesterone made af light.
I thought the punching may be to do with my ibd but that's actually been settled for some time.
I thought my dizziness I've had over the last week would be because of the coQ10 im taking, but I've not taken anything other than pregnancare today and still dizzy. Also, not a noted side effect.
I've also been really tired.
I've seriously been googling way too much and am officially obsessed, nuts, expecting way too much, but...

What are the chances?? 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@wouldthatbeworse yeah it is. Under no illusions that it's anything more than an indent. Thanks lovely.

@everythingnow is that a deconstructed FRER? I'm always tempted to take them apart. Hopefully if it's not going to turn BFP AF will at least hold off long enough for you to be around next FW

7dpo here. I usually wait until the day before AF is due to test.

With indents this deep it's no wonder my eyes always think there is a squinter. It's a blooming trough!!! It is also sadly colourless!

I have no idea when to expect AF currently CD22 and she usually comes CD27. When I joined the bus i thought roughly 1st November. I didn't get a positive opk so could have not ovulated at all or just missed it. I had spotting CD13 and EWCM CD10.
So I could be 7dpo (according to GLOW App) or i could be as much as 11dpo, based on my darkest but not positive opk.

I hope it's the former, if AF turns up too early ill be away with work next FW!

@wishful30 fingers crossed for you lovely.

@EverythingNow thanks. That's the one I just took 🙂 🤞🏻

Just realised af is due the day I go away with my mum and sister for the weekend. So if it doesn't show on time, I'm gonna be climbing the walls for a couple of days 😂

The bottom one looks positive to me @wishful30.

Would you say this is positive then ladies??

Well, I'm glad we dtd last night. Was expecting positive opk Saturday/Sunday so a bit early 🤦🏻‍♀️
However I have a narrow cervix and he has low volume and I did nothing to help them on their way, even went for a pee about 10 mins after 😣
So, prob missed it already then. Will see how awake he is tonight and try again 🤞🏻

@agteacht
I've always roughly know when I'll ovulate having been trying for so long.
I think the times I've dtd just before ovulation or on day of surge, rather than just after (actual ovulation) worked better.
They reckon it's better for sperm to be in there waiting for your egg. Think they can last up to 5 days. So you should be good 🤞🏻

Hi ladies
Sorry everyone is finding this so tough.
I wonder could anyone help my understanding of ovulation timings and POAS technique!

I didn't see my exact surge but got a really dark line, about the same as control on Monday mid morning. DTD that night.

I think I then had surge but missed it (wish I'd tested again!!) as got ever so slightly lighter line on Tuesday mid morning. DTD again then.

Same-ish line yesterday but didn't DTD, OH away.
Today barely any line at all. Almost blank. But ewcm. So think maybe I ovulated today because of the lack of line and cm, which would line up with my POAS timings?

Haven't DTD but OH will be back first thing and worried now we DTD too soon and I need to hop on him
But sperm can take a while / last right so is it better to have DTD on Mon and Tues rather than ovulation day??

I'm constantly confused with this as you can probably tell

@anichole so sorry to hear that.
I can relate sadly, I've had 5 confirmed chemicals.
Had faint bfp and the either had af on time, or a couple of days late.
Af a couple of time with those cycles was much more painful and heavier.

Wishing you best of luck for next time. It's awful all this monitoring and charting. It really got me down. So I had a couple of months off and re evaluated everything.
More positive now. Still frustrating tho.

@anichole sorry this is happening to you.

5dpo here and having imaginary implantation cramps. Both times I got pregnant (1DD, 1MC) I had No symptoms at all. I don’t know why I torture myself.

@anichole sorry to hear that it must be awful 😣!! I know what u mean, I conceived my first on our honeymoon when we first decided to not use protection. This whole testing for ovulation, monitoring cm and counting down the days to test is all so frustrating!! Xxx
