@SarahMumof1DS ah that’s interesting! Yeah I’ve got a few packs haha. The doctor thinks I’ll ovulate sometime before Friday so I’ll be testing all week anyway, I seem to get a positive or near positive around the middle of the day but so difficult to test at work!

@Kg87 oh really well that doesn't help. I'm not the best person to ask about it, but I can tell you that I've read that your LH levels increase through the day so I don't think it comes down to diluted pee especially in my experience so far. Hope that helps at least. Sounds like you might get through a lot of test strips! Have you got lots of cheapies?

@SarahMumof1DS yeah I’ve read a bit online that says you can have multiple positives with PCOS so maybe this is that scenario or maybe I did another too soon and with dilute urine, I’ll probably do another tonight and see 😊

@MamaPheebz I'm ok thanks. Thanks for that and maybe it's a positive sign. Do you remember if it was creamy or not?

Yes fx it's a good sign for you. I ovulated early with my DS too!

@Kg87 yeah that's confusing! Seems like it must be related to the PCOS. Have you read up about it interfering with LH levels?

@SarahMumof1DS

I’ve had 3 pregnancies now and my first signs/symptoms were increase CM so fingers crossed for you. Other symptoms I had were acne and mood swings.

I’m hoping I’ve ovulated early. I did with my son so it feels like a good sign.

Hope you are ok :)

@jessicalouise10 congratulations on the engagement!! X

SparkyLauz · 18/10/2020 15:58

@gracie2307 hi Gracie, not brilliant i think AF is on the way as the usual pre AF spotting has started, also went through my calendar and realised that this was cycle 7 of ttc not 6 like I originally thought, had a bit of a cry last night after probably too much prosecco! How are you doing? Xx

Kg87 · 18/10/2020 15:34

@SarahMumof1DS thank you!! I just did another and it’s completely white! I have no idea what’s going on haha, maybe it’s the PCOS!

Girls, has anyone ever had creamy CM everyday after ov that continued to a BFP? My CM normally dries up after ov and then around implantation I sometimes get stretchy snotty stuff (sorry), but this month have had creamy lotion type CM continuous from about 3/4dpo till now 8/9dpo.
Also the last few days I've had stuffy/runny nose and sneezing. Anyone else experienced these symptoms and got a BFP after?

Hi @MamaPheebz, hope you're ok. Good to see you're still on the Bus. The OPKs are confusing but it's one of those things where you don't know when your peak is until after it's happened, hindsight 🙄. I usually just play it that if i see the line getting darker then we DTD until the line fades and a bit after that. That's why I do temping too because I usually get a temp dip just before ov so it usually lines up with my opks and CM and then I have a temp rise the next day at which point I usually stop DTD. That's how I try to time it. My app chart works really well if I give it a lot of data. I know it doesn't always work out that way but if you can track as many signs as possible they collectively help to paint a picture. This month for me it proved my point that I only did temping and without all the CM and OPK data as well as my first gradual temp rise since temping, my app hasn't been able to pinpoint ov. I wish I had at least taken note of my CM, oh well 🤪. x

Welcome @redpeppersoup sounds like a good sign. You might be one of those people who don't get a positive test until a week or so after missed period. It can happen, read it a few times on the forum. You're not out until AF arrives! Keeping my fx for your BFP. x

@Kg87 yeah keep testing every few hours maybe if you've got enough sticks. I do about 3 per day around the time I think I'm ov so I don't miss it. Looks like It might get stronger soon hopefully especially if you don't get strong line like that usually. Let us know how you get on!

@Farfaraway1 I just can't begin to imagine. All fx for your 🌈👼 #3❤️
Yeah give it a few days to test again maybe.
I think I might be about 8dpo too if I've ovulated on my usual day. Had a bit of a weird one this month so not sure when I actually ovulated. x

Hi guys, hoping for some help on this OPK. I don’t often catch my LH surge, I now think this is due to PCOS, the fertility doctor said to start testing on Monday but I’m impatient so I’ve just done one and this is the result, do you think it might be positive later today or tomorrow? I think this is probably one of the darkest ones I’ve ever had 😃 also please excuse the dust it’s been a long week!

Congratulations @jessicalouise10 so excitinggg! Grin
How did he pop the question?x

gracie2307 · 18/10/2020 12:41

Congratulations @jessicalouise10!! 👰 What lovely news! How did he propose? So exciting! Xxx

jessicalouise10 · 18/10/2020 12:07

@MamaPheebz if the test afterwards isn't as 'positive' as the one before then it'll calculate that as your peak! Does that make sense? It would probably have just said 'high' until you uploaded your next test which would have shown a decrease, therefore that test was your highest and your peak.

Good news for me today, my lovely OH proposed this weekend 👰🏼 so now my head is scrambled with weddings as well as TTC!

Bizawit · 18/10/2020 11:18

@Farfaraway1 9dpo here 🙋🏼‍♀️. When do you think you will text again? Sorry to hear about your losses. I had a MMC in 2015, followed by birth of my baby girl in 2019. Now trying for baby no 2 🤞🏻

MamaPheebz · 18/10/2020 10:45

Hi ladies,

I haven’t been in here for a little while. Needed some time to get my head together.
Anyway... i have been tracking ovulation on cheapies for the first time seen as my digital gave me a false positive ovulation last month. I thought it would be easier but now I’m even more confused. It is saying i’ve had a peak but it didn’t look like it was darker than the control line. Help???

I’m so confused.

@Sunflowers81 Thats exactly what I have felt! So strange, I would say its a different sensation to typical PMS/AF cramps and has been fleeting. That sounds like a lovely day 😊 I hope you have a wonderful walk! We had friends round to stay for dinner, so we are going on a nice walk before they head off. Then I feel a sofa afternoon with watching the Strictly launch is on the cards much to my DH's delight 😂 xx

redpeppersoup · 18/10/2020 09:52

Hi ladies hope it’s okay for me join you all? I’m 19 dpo today but done 2 tests and both are negative Sad I’ve been tracking my cycle for 2 years though and I‘m NEVER late so I feel like it’s too much of a coincidence to be 5 days late the second month that we TTC - is there a chance I’m pregnant...?

Good luck to everyone hoping for BFP Smile
