Hey everyone,

Anyone else just started ovulation or about to start in the next week. Let's start a chat and keep ourselves busy as we head through ovulation and the dreaded 2WW.

Little about me this is my 2 cycle at TTC Baby no.1 I'm about to start ovulation on fri or sat, so going to make the most of this week. I've ordered some IC ovulation sticks hopefully will arrive in next couple days and I will give them a try out. What is everyone else doing to prepare themselves for ovulation???

Thanks girls the line has definitely darkened now it's very clear so I'm taking it a it's positive. I'm in a little shock I think still don't think it's real waiting to do the CB tomorrow morning now before I tell my DH don't want to excite him just in case

@Tiff94 when I used a FRER the other day I could see a shadow of a line before I used it but after I used it, the line disappeared and I couldn't see it, a definite BFN. So maybe not faulty. The line you got also looks a little pink to me as well but not sure if that's just the photo. Fingers crossed for you!!!

lastbany · 22/07/2020 17:34

@Tiff94 no I honestly think it's positive with my last baby I took a frear 6 days before af was due and o took it at around 4pm and I saw exactly the same! I decided to take the other first thing next morning (5days to af) and was a lot darker! I think will just be because it's late on in day x

Okay ladie did another FRER this afternoon after like a 3.5hr hold. I can see the line for sure in this one but I saw a shadow of the line on it even before doing the test do you think it could be faulty maybe ?

I wa shuts reading that your hcg levels double every 72hours so if your out a day or 2 on ovulation it can make it show a little later then expected and maybe still to early to show up wait a day to two then test again I would say.

Littlehelper101 · 22/07/2020 15:57

Just read that FRER? Detects from 6.5!!!

Littlehelper101 · 22/07/2020 15:56

[quote lastbany]@Littlehelper101 did you just do it? Try with first urine from 5am x[/quote]
Yes! Afternoon pee!

The one which measure from 10 mui I will save going away for the weekend so will distract my brain.

Hoping your right and that I'm too early 🤞I actually am embarrassed at the amount of tests I've done this month. 100% if this time is not successful I will not buy and become obcessive it's so difficult not too and this is my first cycle.

It really puts things into perspective for the people who take a very long time ttc - sending BIG love!

@Littlehelper101 don't feel to out I'm 2days off AF and only have a faint line you literally barely can see I'm not even sure if it's there every other day I've hand blank white so maybe still early for you.

Feeling less optimistic now will wait now till AF is supposed to arrive on Sunday.

They had run out of HCG blood tests! Restocked on Monday.... my luck I'm feeling terrible right now as well Envy

So I bought these, the second one detects 10 mUI not sure about clear blue!

Baby dust to all

Thanks @Alice222 I really hope so. I have another FRER as well so might do both tests tomorrow and see if line is darker. Best of luck for you hope you get a BFP soon xx

Alice222 · 22/07/2020 13:45

@Tiff94 that sounds really promising! I hope the CB confirms it for you!

I've just ordered more FRERs 🙈 arriving tomorrow so hoping to wait until Friday to test if AF doesn't arrive.

So did a cheapie at lunch and I can see the faintest line on that too. CB will arrive tonight. I just want an actual answer faint lines are so deceiving

@lastbany if I had them in the house I'd DEFO done them by now but haven't bought any as yet! Xx

lastbany · 22/07/2020 11:30

@Tiff94 I am ye and omg that's so kind!! And I'm sure s/he will!!
@beckyBP yep don't worry yet and I think you do right I shouldn't have done this it's just so tempting

beckyBP · 22/07/2020 11:27

@lastbany I think each to their own though! For me personally I feel that I'd be leas disappointed if AF arrived than seeing a BFN you know?

Ah really? Still hope then. Thank you 🥰🥰

@lastbany I'm due Fri as well I haven't had any symptoms. I tried the opks this month first time. So if it works thanks god for that, If my bpfs sticks I can post you opks I have plenty left haha 😂 you in the uk ?

OP posts:
lastbany · 22/07/2020 11:25

@beckyBP honestly I don't know why I have done!! But honestly don't worry about that because I was same with my pregnancy's always felt like was coming in just never bled!! 🥰

beckyBP · 22/07/2020 11:23

@lastbany I'm due Friday too. I haven't done a pregnancy test but I'm having all my normal pre AF symptoms xx

lastbany · 22/07/2020 11:16

@Tiff94 yep I gonna do this tbh maybe I was too cocky lol I had them with my daughter (7month old) and they matched flo with ovulation only did for one month and it worked! I assumed these two months that flo would work same but maybe having baby has done something not sure? But I will buy some this month if af comes which I'm guessing it will! I'm usually on the dot and I'm due Friday x

Tiff94 · 22/07/2020 11:10

@lastbany then I wouldn't count you as too old. Have you tried opks to confirm ovulation just to make sure your making best time of fertile window ? Maybe give that a go if not this month.

lastbany · 22/07/2020 11:08

@Sexnotgender similar to me! I have a 17 and 12 yo then 7 months x
