24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)

Has anyone tried yoga legs up the wall as a general fertility aid (apparently to send blood flow to the right parts) - not just post dtd?

Hi all, sorry for the radio silence. We went to my parents last weekend and then had this week off as both feeling rather burnt out! Somewhat more refreshed now although I did have a little bit of a work panic yesterday when I foolishly checked my email. I get totally paranoid about things like that and worry that the short bout of stress has ruined my chances this month!

@Littlebee1990 sorry to hear your cycle is being a pain. It sounds like it is just taking a little while to reset after last month but that doesn’t make it less frustrating!

@sle0911 congrats on the bfp! I hope the line progresses well.

I’m now CD21 and 6dpo. I’ve had the odd twinge but no real symptoms yet. I guess it’s rather early still. AF due on the 27th and not planning to test unless she’s late.

@mrswilso I got my static smiley last Saturday morning (the line was very dark when I pulled it out of the tester) and I’m assuming that I ovulated on Sunday (also based on EWCM which dried up by Monday). So I guess I use a combination of things. Plus my cycles are most typically 30 days and I think I have a fairly consistent 14 day luteal phase.

I didn't @fran2020 😩 my wee sis is over in Australia and the time difference is killer, got caught up chatting to her on the phone and before I knew it, boom, 11.30pm 😭 we were both too tired.
My FMU is a much lighter line today, back to more baseline so I'm just crossing my fingers that it was just a little fluctuation. I'll do another few over the course of today probably to make sure I catch it if it sneaks back up to a proper peak again.
How are you feeling today? Did you get a better sleep last night?
How does everyone count dpo? Got my first peak Sunday, my proper 200% peak on Monday, counting OV as Tuesday so I'm 4dpo today right? Or should I count from the first peak?

It's lovely and sunshine-y in Scotland this morning 🌤 hope everyone is feeling good and having a great start to the weekend!

@Fran2020 yeah I did . I haven't had anything since but did eat a lot of beetroot last night and now wondering if it was that 🤣🤣. The twinges are still there but have been since ovulation on and off. Honestly ttc sends you loopy. It wasn't until I looked in the fridge and remembered I had a fair bit with my dinner 🤣🙈.

@mrswilso yeah that is strange, did you manage to DTD just in case?! 😂

@cd24x I really hope it is but I don't want to get too hopeful! 🤞🏼

@sle0911 I know we talk on the other group but really hope it's your BFP and tomorrow's line is really clear!

@1992EM hmm that's strange, it does seem to early for implantation. You used OPKs to determine ovulation didn't you so that day should be about right?

@sle0911 congrats on your BFP , how many dpo are you ? 💕

@beepbeep42 sorry I have really mixed up the messages 😔 when did you start testing using opks and how long are your cycles normally ? X

@beepbeep42 congratulations on your BFP .

I have a pink tinge when I wipe and light cramping today. It is far too early for AF (about 12 days ) and I didn't think I was far enough for it to be implantation (3 or 4 dpo) any insight ? I don't want to get my hopes up but also panicking that AF is playing tricks as it feels like AF cramps. 😔

Hi again guys, hope you are all well.

OPK help, trying not to stress. I've always ovulated day 15 (at least 3 years) with at least 3 high readings in the preceding days (CB Digital). Last month I didn't get a peak reading and now this months I've had low readings day 13, 14, 15 (today). The lines are so faint! I'm 32.

Absolutely everything crossed for you @sle0911. Xxx

@Kalecat it was a FRER I used and have had x2 faint lines, not going to re test until tomorrow though! Not entirely sure when AF due because of my looooong cycle this month, but if I hadn't have missed one then I'd say I'd be due on tuesday time, think I'm about 9/10dpo!

@Littlebee1990 no I only starting using OPKs when my last period didn't arrive as I wanted to see what was going on, had loads of Highs, and then my peak lasted for 4 days! Then they went low again! X

@sle0911 How did you track your cycle? Was you tempting or using OPKS or anything? I’ve had “high” on IC’s for a week but never got a peak. Only CD19 so perhaps I’m in it for the long haul this month too xx

@sle0911 hopefully you've got a BFP! What kind of test did you take and when is AF due?

@Littlebee1990 no problem! I think it's good to know other people's experiences, I didn't think it would muck my cycle up so much being only 4/5 weeks when it happened, but goes to show it can have a big effect! Thank you 😊 I hope you do too!! X

@sle0911 Thank you so so much, good to know it’s happened to other people and my body is just sorting itself out. I hope you’ve got your BFP!! ❤️🤞🏼😍

Hi @Littlebee1990 just wanted to quickly say (as I remember seeing you unfortunately had a chemical las month) I had a chemical in May and I'm now on CD55 and believe I have only just ovulated about 9/10 days ago, I think I completely missed a whole cycle and I'm now where I should be if I hadn't of missed it (if that makes sense) sorry but just wanted to give you my experience, fingers crossed you have ovulated already though and just didn't realise! On another note I THINK I may have just got my BFP so fingers crossed the same happens for you 🤞🏼

@cd24 They are amazing pets but don't half give you heartattacks when they aren't well . She is a lot better today and getting back to her usual playful self.
@mrswilso Sorry first month using opks. I stopped testing after my smiley so might start again. I would dtd just incase you didn't ovulate the first time. Fingers crossed. I also read it can detect pregnancy but not sure how accurate that is x

@1992EM fellow rabbit owner here. I've had a few of those nights where ours hasn't been well and I've been up every 4 hours to syringe feed. At least it's good practice for sleepless nights with a baby! 🤞 Hope your rabbit is feeling better now.

@Littlebee1990 it's so frustrating when our cycles don't behave like they should! Hopefully you've managed to catch the egg if you have OVed already.

@Fran2020 hopefully those symptoms mean a BFP is coming 🤞

@mrswilso I've only just started with my OPKs so can't offer much advice. I'd definitely compare with the other peak. And keep DTD just in case.

@Kalecat hope you get a good night's sleep tonight!

CD10 for me. I have started OPKs on the off chance that I have a shorter cycle this time. But stark white so far. Not even a hint of a line! So think I'm going to be in for another longish cycle. If Femometer/Flo are correct with their 37 day prediction, AF is due 14th August. Ita my birthday on 10th so a BFP would be an amazing present!

@fran2020 it's definitely not as dark as my proper peak that was much darker than the control...but it is probably as dark as the control...not by much to the eye...
Think I might give hubby a nudge and a wink to make sure we don't miss it if it is a wee late bean and put my mind at rest 😉😂

@1992EM Thank you! 😊 now to wait for the results, whilst waiting to see if AF comes... always waiting these days haha!

@mrswilso ooooh I don't know?! Have you got photos of the test to compare to the other peak? See which is darker?

Aw maaaaan everything was going fab...and then I've got a second peak reading at what I think is 3dpo today...granted it's 110% on the app and not 200% this time around...but it's thrown my app right off now and I'm pretty certain I can't be ovulating this late as I'm a very regular 28 day cycle.
Can anyone with a bit of experience with OPKs help me out? Does this happen often?

@Fran2020 I hope everything goes well with the tests. 🥰
@kalecat we are definitely having a time of it with animals . Hope your Mum's cat settles soon. 💕

@1992EM ah, hope your rabbit feels better! 💕 so stressful when pets are ill.
I finally got a good nights sleep last night - been watching my moms cat at our place as she's on holidays, and the damn thing was howling for 3 hours the other night. Not to mention we already have 2 cats of our own so it's definitely a full house. 😂
@Littlebee1990 how frustrating!! At least you've DTD regularly and possibly could've caught it if you did ovulate already.

@1992EM I really hope so! We just dropped of my partners sample at the hospital for analysis.
awww poor rabbit!! Hahaha yeah maybe?! 😂x

@mrswilso Thank you, I'm so glad it's Friday! Oh do you, in what way?x

Aw @fran2020 that's a shame! Hopefully the weekend will give you a bit of a break 💕
I'm actually feeling a bit peaky today 🥴 but I doubt it's anything pregnancy related x
