That's interesting thanks LockThatFridge. I have very irregular periods and long cycles so unpredictable. My positive ovulation test was on day 40! But now I'm wondering if it was detecting a pregnancy - I'd love that to be the answer.

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 28/12/2019 10:26

Congratulations on those Faints & BFPs, folks. I am so happy for each of you, what a magical way to start the century!

LockThatFridge · 28/12/2019 10:13

@serraserra36 when was your last af and how long are your cycles usually? I’m just wondering if you ovulated before you realised and the ovulation tests were actually picking up pregnancy hormones. I think that can happen.

serraserra36 · 28/12/2019 10:11

Twins?!!! Shock Oh gosh.

Sunshinexx95 · 28/12/2019 10:02

@serraserra36
If u have to high then it might be multiple Like twins
And congrats on your bfp ❤️❤️
I got a very very very faint line today but I have to wait few days to confirm.
Wish u a healthy pregnancy and don't worry too much

Hi all, thread lurker here, solidarity with all those trying and hoping at the moment.

After reading your posts I tested out of curiosity - and got a surprise, very strong bfp. But, I had positive ovulation tests just 6 days ago. Is this even possible? I hadn't thought so. I've been googling a bit and threads keep mentioning molar pregnancies if you're hcg is too high too early which has got me really worried. Does anyone have any experience of this? I'm sorry for the hijack, I don't know anywhere else to ask!

LockThatFridge · 28/12/2019 09:45

@Crazymummyto3 congratulations! That looks like a line too @Sunshinexx95. I hope it gets darker for you.
Still no symptoms today but mild cramping and my c section scar feels a bit sore. It does on and off though so I’m not reading too much into it.

Sunshinexx95 · 28/12/2019 09:43

@Crazymummyto3 omg I think so too it is way to early 😭😭😭😭 but I can see something very very faint... oh I wish this is my new year wish

Crazymummyto3 · 28/12/2019 09:25

@Sunshinexx95 I can see a very faint line too, wait a couple of days then try again to see if if is stronger.

@Sjp17 I'll try again tomorrow and see if the line is getting stronger, then I'll try and hold off until New Year's Eve to do a FRER. I've been feeling a bit nauseous but there are lots of bugs going round so I put it down to that. I tried my son's VR headset and it made me feel really queasy, but I assume that can happen to people anyway! My boobs feel a bit heavier and look a bit darker but other than that I don't feel any different. When are you going to test?

Sunshinexx95 · 28/12/2019 08:31

Sjp17 · 28/12/2019 08:22

@Crazymummyto3 omg!! You make me so tempted even after I just said I’m going to wait a whole another week... arghhhh!! We’re the same I’m CD27/33 assuming 33 as my last was 33 and adding 2 weeks from ovulation being 21 dec (pos opk 20/21 &26 dec ?!!)
When are you going to try a free?!?!
Have you had any symptoms!

I've caved already 🙈 but got a very faint pink line! It's definitely there, definitely pink and came up straight away. I don't trust it though as I've had faint lines on IC tests before which haven't been BFPs so I promised myself I wouldn't use them again, but this one is stronger than any of the other ones. I'm on cd27 and my cycles have varied between 27 and 33 days. This month I got positive OPKs on 19th December but it stayed positive for 3 days, so I don't even know if I would be far enough along to get a BFP yet anyway??

I've got a couple of FRER in the cupboard but don't really want to use those until I think it's a real line / closer to AF. Arrrgh, why do I do this to myself every month??!!

Sjp17 · 28/12/2019 01:55

Looking forward to hearing those who test, based on my last pregnancy and the wierd opks I got this month, I’m going to wait same till 4th jan which will be either 14 or 9 dpo (had 3 positive opks this month) 20/21 & 26th dec. the cycle we conceived my son I also don’t know when I ovulated but got bfp the same 14 or 9 dpo on a guess. Going to be so hard to wait 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Crazymummyto3 · 28/12/2019 00:17

@AliSxo I'm not really sure when to test? I'm currently cd27. My previous cycles since stopping the pill have been 27, 28, 33 and 33 days. I don't know whether to assume my cycle length is now 33 days as that's what my previous two cycles have been? Either way, I know that I won't have the willpower to wait that long to test 🙈 When are you planning on testing?

LockThatFridge · 27/12/2019 23:31

@Sunshinexx95 it’s far too early to count yourself out. I would doubt many people would get a positive so early as the average day for implantation is later. It’s very possible that your sister ovulated earlier than she thought. You’re still in until AF shows.

AliSxo · 27/12/2019 23:15

Anyone testing tomorrow let us know how you get on 💕 x

Sjp17 · 27/12/2019 22:12

I just went back as I can’t remember how I felt with my son, I don’t know when I ovulated that month as I never got positive on the opk, when I tested and got a positive I was either 9 dpo or 14dpo and my line was really faint and got darker over the coming days.
All this overanalysing is driving me nuts!

Sjp17 · 27/12/2019 21:48

@Sunshinexx95 aw that’s hard to read! Don’t count yourself out yet! It’s so early still! Be calm and think positive! This could very well be your month!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I hear you with the avoiding one of my close girlfriends had a baby a couple months back and she is so damn insensitive about how that child was conceived it’s so hard to listen to and myself and another of my close girls friends are both trying you’d think she’d have a brain and be kinder to us!

Sjp17 · 27/12/2019 21:37

@AliSxo how interesting, I’m 7dpo today, felt crampy the last two days and feeling nauseous this morning, who knows why! Technically I shouldn’t implant till tomorrow or or the day after! I’m going to test next year, as much as I’d love to finish the year with a bfp I’d hate to finish it with a bfn!
Come on bfp S all round in the next week 🤞🏼🤞🏼

AliSxo · 27/12/2019 20:39

@Sunshinexx95 I agree with your sister, wait a few more days as 7DPO is so so early so don't lose hope xx have a lovely evening and done feel lonely we're all here xx

@Sunshinexx95 totally understand how you feel. Pressure from others adds to pressure on ourselves... Have you tried taking fertility vitamins? By "you" I mean you as well as your other half. Helps for your both to be more fertile. Try to reduce stress and not too think about this too much, take a break from all the forums, all the articles. The only thing that I would advise you to do - enjoy sex every other day during the time when you roughy should ovulate. No OPK's, no apps... trust your body and enjoy the ride. TMI, but sleep with the "deposit" overnight if possible. It helped me ( I tested positive 3 cycles out of 3, just unfortunately I have an issue with securing the pregnancy, short luteal phase - af always arrives ). Stress is the killer and you are stressing yourself with this process tracking.

Sunshinexx95 · 27/12/2019 19:35

@AliSxo yes I know ;( they don't even try and they get pregnant. I am avoiding so many too. But at work I have 2 colleagues who are pregnant and one of them is pregnant with twins and naturally. So happy for them and wish them safe pregnancies. But I feel so lonely. But still glad I have someone to talk to. Otherwise I would explode. My husband is tired of my crying.

My parents feel very sad when they see me so sad: my mum told me to stop worrying because someday it will happen.
I am 8 dpo today.. :( tomorrow 9dpo. So I do t know if I should test. My sister told me to test on minimum 10 dpo..
