@mayday27 I do find it quite accurate I found it in January after using them for 2 months and didn't know when my peak was but if you do it in the same light each time it should give you an accurate reading I'd take the photos in the bathroom where there's more light!

Feeling a bit disheartened today we picked up my in laws from there friends last night after having a few drinks and the next door neighbour was in and she announced that she was pregnant but waiting to confirm it but also she was drinking a full bottle of rum with barely anything to water it down a bit and telling us she didn't want it and is happily awaiting an abortion my heart literally crumbed when I heard what she said and seen what she was doing I don't judge her because I understand everyone is different she is an older woman who already has children but I couldn't help but feel so hurt and how long it's taken us to conceive our first and this woman who is blessed with this wee bundle of joy can't wait to get rid of it its a hard thing to see!

@NicoleR14 thank you! Do you find the app quite accurate? And have you seen that the lightening can affect the results? I'm completely new to all this! Will take another test tonight and see what it says, we've been dtd anyway just because it's said on the Ovia app I should be in my fertile window

@mayday27 it does it tells you if it's low high or peak I'll show you mine from last month! @ArjaD sorry to hear your works been cancelled I go back to work on Tuesday and I'm quiet frightened as I'm a cleaner and scared to touch anything!

Never used an app so I really wouldn't know 😔 I just tend to go with the opks and hope for the best! Worked the first time.... Doesn't seem so easy second time around somehow though. 🤔

MayDay27 · 15/03/2020 07:18

@ArjaD hoping it will be a positive soon! My app that I scan them into says it's high, I was assuming it reads low, high and then positive and peak? I'm glad I have something else to focus on, trying not to think too much about current situations

ArjaD · 15/03/2020 07:02

@mayDay27 still negative though as the line needs to be at least as dark as the test line
@Littlepeas2 join the bonkers club 😁😁
@Donnat89 how are you feeling? 6dpo for me and just feeling restless with the state the world is in and my work getting cancelled etc.

Littlepeas2 · 14/03/2020 22:35

Hey ladies... do you mind me joining? I will be entering my TWW tomorrow!

MayDay27 · 14/03/2020 21:19

This was what it looked like a good hour or so after

Well they say you can discard after 30 mins but i usually think it must be valid after that to some degree 🤔

MayDay27 · 14/03/2020 21:14

@ArjaD I don't think I was giving them enough time, I left it for an hour and came back and there were the lines and I think slightly darker than yesterday! Are the results still valid if they take so long to appear?

ArjaD · 14/03/2020 20:51

@MayDay27 don't worry, the lines can vary a lot from day to day and then suddenly you can have a glaring positive! Stick with it 😁

MayDay27 · 14/03/2020 19:17

I've just done some more ovulation sticks and they just stay blank! I'm not sure if I'm doing them wrong or they are just taking longer to show but so far none of them have had any lines appear!

Jessmary94 · 14/03/2020 16:03

Hey, just checking in, think around 7dpo and dying to start testing but I no it is far too early for anything to show 😔
Trying not to symptom spot but I seem to be noticing everything now 😩 had mild cranking and weird feeling right hand side of lower abdomen for 5 days after ovulation and now nothing, not sure if it's a good or bad sign 😂
How's everyone else doing?

Donnat89 · 14/03/2020 12:14

Hi ladies just catching up ! I'm 6DPO today ..... so will be heading into the second week tomorrow that's when the symptoms of AF start for me so I'm dreading it .

We DTD plenty this month but just not feeling confident . Welcome to the new ladies fingers crossed for BFPS

Maidmummy · 14/03/2020 11:28

@ArjaD I can't help myself, once my youngest is out of the baby stage walking around and doing things for themselves I get broody again 😂 not only that this will be my first with DP he has 2 girls with his ex and he's desperate for a boy lol. My 3 year old has only just become fully potty trained but still doesn't stop him missing nearly every time he has a wee, I swear I must follow him around the house all day with the mop in my hand waiting 😂

@ArjaD well that's one way to put you off thinking about it 😂 I don't know what to try different this month we only dtd 3 times so I doubt it'll catch anyway as dh is still terrified of this virus but I can only hope!

ArjaD · 14/03/2020 11:02

@MayDay27 aw so excited for you!!!!! First time ever ❤️ @Maidmummy baby 4!!! I'm currently potty training ds and I'm going insane..... Think my tubes may tie themselves to prevent baby nr 2 😂 @NicoleR14 5dpo today and trying not to think about it while cleaning up pee...

Bbutterfly · 14/03/2020 11:01

Morning ladies, love our chat. @ArjaD I did my first opk 11pm last night was negative. 8am this morning a really dark peak, still dtd last night and this morning so I'm hoping there is some there to meet the egg like what @Maidmummy has said! Who knows but I'm going to really try hard again this month! Just shows if I never did another opk I could've missed my peak! Xx

MayDay27 · 14/03/2020 10:37

@Maidmummy first cycle first time trying Smile

ArjaD · 14/03/2020 10:28

Aw it's nice to read all the chat 😊 how are you feeling @bbutterfly @dizzy85 @NicoleR14

MayDay27 · 14/03/2020 10:15

@Maidmummy I'll test again after work hopefully it will be darker! I feel ridiculously excited about TTC I know it could be bad news each month but it feels good to have something to concentrate on especially atm with corona! How long have you been trying?
