POAS Anonymous - Thread 2

I caved and just bought more CB tests in the pharmacy! 🤦🏼‍♀️ You only get 10 in a pack and I think I started them too early in my cycle as I’ve only 2 left and I’m still stuck on flashing smiley! 😅 really want to continue them this cycle to see does it work! So bought another pack... €39! 🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s actually robbery! 🤣

@jessi60 if you google it though some people can have really sudden surges that are gone within a couple of hours, making it really easy to miss! Maybe you just had a surge that lasted only a couple of hours? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m only surmising from what I’ve seen online! 😂

@positivitytree2020 I know, strange! Well I did get my hopes up today and then I got the low tonight so god knows! X

@jessi60 I’m surprised that one is only marked as 0.64, looks stronger than that to me! 😊🤞🏼 Still nothing else from me today, doesn’t seem to be getting much higher! 🤷🏼‍♀️

@AMS19 Christ if anyone would fail to ovulate it would be 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Here it is x

@AMS19 @jessi60 @Emmgrem @positivitytree2020 @Bells20

Ok thank you!! That has definitely put my mind at ease a bit. I was thinking maybe they were faulty or I was faulty.

I will keep testing until we see a peak of some kind 🤞🏼

@jessi60 I had my LH surge yesterday morning then what I think was ovulation pains this morning and tests were back to low today. Your LH surge comes just before you ovulate then drop again after it. So I think I ovulated today. Hopefully that helps you!

@PowerOfFlowers that’s funny I was actually thinking that! In the past before we were TTC I always peed straight after as always needed too but since DTD knowing we are ttc I haven’t had to urge to so I haven’t forced it. Plus in my head I feel it affects it even though I know it doesn’t if that makes sense 😂

Also my tww starts tomorrow and I was just wondering has anyone ever had a drink during it? Im not going too but would if affect my chances of my egg being fertilised? I usually have 3 ciders on a Friday or Saturday night. Also I think I’m getting paranoid but I bought peppers stuffed with ricotta and I know you can’t eat soft cheese so should I avoid them 🙈 I’m honestly clueless and trying to not stress but can’t help it haha

@AMS19 why would be low now though? These things don’t make bloody sense 😂😂 x

I’ve done another ovulation test and it isn’t high anymore after this mornings was. Is it pointless dtd tonight? Deffo don’t think it was diluted either. Or have I missed it now 😂 x

@jessi60 is a nurse too so we should listen 👏🏻 last Sunday I defo lay with my legs over my head for the entire I'm a celeb though 🤣🤣

@PowerOfFlowers Whatever gets there will get there in the fist couple of minutes. The excess as such is no good anyways and wouldn’t get there without the force of ejaculation that’s why the lying down and legs in the air isn’t proven to work 🤣 basically our bodies are designed to reproduce without even doing all these weird techniques haha xx

My hcg level is 50 got to see if it doubles on Monday

@PowerOfFlowers nope think peeing is fine. Naturally some of it comes out 😂 can’t possibly all stay there ahah x

@Emmgrem oh I feel you I don't think I'd have much patience for that either!

It's funny though isn't it because if I hadn't tested 5 times I might never have seen that super dark line 😂

@PowerOfFlowers I've heard that too about cystitis, not sure if it's true but I've always made sure to pee after dtd because of it!! I've deliberately been avoiding going for a wee after, I read somewhere to lay on your back for half an hour after 😂 would love to know what other people are doing too

So.... a weird question here. After we DTD I always have to pee. Always been told to pee after having sex in case I get cystitis. Do you all think this affects anything?
@jessi60 that stork story is so funny! 😂

@Bells20 wow your peak was super dark, darker than the control line! That's the model for all of us on how it's done 😂😂💪

5 in a day makes me feel better now, might go and do another one!

We're trying to sell our house at the moment and on viewing number 20 and still no offers! So what with that, covid postponing everything and waiting for OPKs to turn positive I just feel like I'm super impatient right now 😂😂

@jessi60 yeah I'm still confused why it put this as low tbh, comparing with everyone else's 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe it will update if I keep testing more!!

@Bells20 ahh that makes sense thank you! I just need some to turn high now then 😂

@jessi60 that really made me laugh. If that little stork turns out to be lucky for you I might have Toni vest in some CB's myself!

@Emmgrem sorry I'm going mad I haven't made sense all day 😂😂 I've just put my last months OPKs as an example so the 1.23 rating was only classed as peak after it dropped back down afterwards, otherwise i think it's set automatically to anything over 0.8 as high. So I think what I meant was if it's rating your OPKs as high, one of them could be your peak. So you'll know if you get a high, but you won't see it as 'peak' until it drops down again.

Wow I'm really showing my true colours here.. 5 opk's in one day. I don't know whether to feel embarrassed or impressed with myself!
