November bus

Hello, I'm a bit of a lurker, just waiting for ovulation this week before I get on the TWW again 🙄

I'm using Clearblue ovulation tests, can someone confirm that the most fertile days are the 2 days that you actually get the smiley? Not after the smileys?

I'm a bit confused by it all and don't want to mess my dates up (again)

I don't think it would show up as protein on dipstick... It is a hormone that is in trace amounts. The dipsticks pick up more substantial protein that shouldn't filter through pee, and that's why they check it to make sure the kidneys are working.

I really hope you get your bfp though! Xx

Would it show protein? The midwives always tested for protein and were worried if it positive ?

I've decided to be completely insane and poas at work, with our general dipsticks as I'm assuming it should show protein as the LH is apparently high 🤔

I think I'm my crazy little mind I do think I'm pregnant.
I've only 'felt pregnant' once before. I was right, but it turned out to be a chemical.
Which I know this may well be too, but with all the extra things I've been doing I'm so hoping that maybe it's made a difference 🤞🏻

@Wishful30 - 32 days x

@loveshinealight how long are your cycles usually?

I'm going to use the cheapie opks till AF comes, just outta pure curiosity. I'm interested to see if they remain this positive or if it does disappear. Or by some miracle I'm actually pregnant. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Wishful30 - with my first pregnancy I got a positive OPK but then I got a BFP the same day.

CD34 and another BFN!

Fascinated by this whole Opk pregnancy testing, I thought I'd see it through till af out of curiosity.
No I know there always a little LH in urine, however, majority of people get NO line until a few days before ovulation and it's fades away to nothing after the surge.
Some get a tiny faint line still. Can anyone confirm this for me with what they have found?

So, 10dpo FRER BFN
OPK .... very obvious
I have 27/28 day cycles and ovulate on cd 14/15 like clockwork
Have been ttc for well over a year, so pretty confident it's not just a late LH surge!

BFN again this morning.

Still having a small amount of creamy cm with the occasional brown tinged patches.
Never experienced this before, even with other chemical pg's
Usually like a bloody desert down there until ew cm the day before af.
I did get cramps on and off for 4 days once before af arrived, but they were pretty intense at one point. Prob where it couldn't implant any further.

I can't get excited until I see a dark pink line as af seems to still arrive with the light pink with me 😐

Fingers crossed for you Wishful I did a test this morning and it has a suuuuper faint line on it. Much too faint to tell if it has colour and I don't trust these tests at all so not going to get excited just yet. Hopefully tomorrow it will have got stronger and I won't start spotting like I usually do.

So I had a sorry tmi blob of creamy brown cm this morning. And literally nothing since. I had a stabby kind of pain on and off this morning and I've had af type cramps coming and going this afternoon.
I'm really hungry. Af not due till Sunday.

I'm trying not to get too excited as even if I do get a bfp I've never had a sticky bean.
Trying to remain positive but reserved

@mrss2018 🤞🏻 everything comes back normal for you and you can start trying again soon!!! Xxx

Hope everyone is well-
Don't really know how I feel- just been for a colposcopy following abnormal smear...they had me signing consent forms geared me up for treatment on the spot due to severe abnormalities of my cells and worst told me that I have to wait 6 months for a clear smear before I can TTC!!! Had the colposcopy where they said they couldn't see anything to suggest anything was wrong! Took a biopsy and now I'm waiting for the results of that!! Don't know if this is good news or not! Hoping everything is ok and we can get back at it!
Sorry for the long post! xx

Ergh I've come down with a fever, headache and runny nose. Feel terrible. Hopefully it won't affect any potential BFP!

@Chocolate89 - I think I'm 14 days PO today so I should get my period today. At least then I can start afresh.

@loveshinealight 💔im so sorry! How many dpo are you?

Cd 33 and a BFN!

Forgot to add my pics 🙄

Morning @KinCat

So I realised last night that you're supposed to leave the opks 5minutes before you read them 🤦🏻‍♀️ so much darker!!!

FRER this morning BFN 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've been you tubing at people using an opk and being all confused. I carried on with one ladies videos and by 12dpo she had a very faint FRER line. Nothing the day after. Then it came back.
I've also had a teeny bit more brown and some tiny little brown 'clots' which reading a healthcare website they describe as 'coffee granules' which I guess it's that tiny.

So, totally in the dark still 😂

Wishful30 good luck with the FRER! I did an IC today (8dpo and BFN). This time last cycle I had a line and felt so tired and nauseous. Hopefully it's there and just implanting a bit later..

So, as I'm now obsessed 🤦🏻‍♀️
I've been reading about people using opk's to test for pregnancy as the LH and HCH hormones are like 'sisters' so can both be picked up on an opk...
of course, I just couldn't resist even tho I plan to use my FRER in the morning.
How bloody interesting is that?!!!!!

There's a tiddlywinks faint little line there, and I'm 8dpo
All I gotta do now is hope it's found itself a suitable place to implant, that my uterus is actually thick enough and ideally much less pitted. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Hoping for a tiny miracle!

Af not due till Sunday

I think I'm in the TWW. Have never known conclusively before, but had a smiley Clearblue on Saturday afternoon. Currently very crampy and insanely hungry.

I've got about 30 internet cheapie in the bathroom. Must restrain myself from starting to pee on them asap.

The witch has got me 😣 Cant believe the month has barely started and that's me off this bus... rolling into December!
Wishing for lots of BFPs ladies X

So I went to a firework display last night.. pretty sure if I did conceive I've frozen the poor little thing 😂
I spent so long desperately trying to keep my feet warm since ovulation (hot water bottle before ovulation) and then went and stood in a freezing field for 2hours 🤦🏻‍♀️
I had a teeny bit of very light brown spotting yesterday on and off. Nothing today, no cm or anything.
Obv bfn yesterday as 7dpo, but I couldn't contain it 🙄
Going to test again in the morning. 🤞🏻

pattyhoo I think that looks fine (I assume the dashed line is your average).

Your luteal phase looks a good 12 days and I think it's normal for temp to drop a bit towards the end, you're just looking for an overall trend which it definitely looks like you have.
