@CardioQueen Interesting that @AMS19 also had 0's... I was going to ask if perhaps you had a dodgy batch of tests but maybe it's actually quite normal!!

positivitytree2020 · 19/11/2020 12:30

@CardioQueen some of mine have read as 0 too, I didn’t even bother putting those ones into Premom coz they’re not adding any benefit! 😂
I’ve consistently tested around 11am(ish) and gotten very low results, but then I could text in afternoon and get a blank? 😂 I don’t bother putting those in!

jessi60 · 19/11/2020 12:20

@CardioQueen My last cycle mine were basically all white. And that was the first cycle after my implant was removed. But then this cycle I’ve had abit of a line, nothing too exciting though 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 x

AMS19 · 19/11/2020 12:15

@CardioQueen mine were always 0's except for the peak 24 hour period. Then back to 0 again! So don't worry

Ok so I've literally only had 0 readings on every single OPK I've done...does anyone else ever get 0s?! I've done them for 9 days now and they are all just stark white. Premom reads them as total 0.

Just seeing everyone put these photos in and they all seem to have some kind of line. There is absolutely no line on any of mine. I've tried them at varying times and then kind of stuck with once around 11am and once around 6pm.

(37 day cycle - on CD20, started OPKs on CD12, could potentially ovulate as late as CD27 as last LP was 10 days).

Bells20 · 19/11/2020 11:52

@positivitytree2020 @jessi60 sounds like we're all in the same boat eagerly awaiting that high OPK! I'm CD12 and Premom has told me to start dtd today as there's a high chance of fertility but I don't know what it's basing that on I have absolutely 0 symptoms of anything right now. I mean I'll do it anyway of course 😂 Here are my OPKs to join your club of low results

@Dex1521 oooh that does really look like you might have ovulated yesterday! 🤞🏼 Keep DTD to cover yourself, coz I think you ovulate up to 24hours after the surge, how exciting!
I’ve read that your peak can be really sudden for some people and might disappear after a few hours, so wouldn’t be overly surprising if you had your peak yesterday lunch time, and was almost gone again by end of afternoon! 😊
That’s why I’m worried I might miss mine if it’s so sudden, but can’t be spending my days testing! 😂

Dex1521 · 19/11/2020 11:45

Just done my OPK for today and it’s making me think I’ve ovulated yesterday of today! Back down to low after a high reading yesterday but not as low as the reading last night so definitely think I’d diluted my wee last night. Will DTD next few days anyway just to be sure. Fingers crossed this cycle works 🤞

@positivitytree2020 Yeah my first day. Ah okay I guess that makes sense then. Thanks for your help. Xx

positivitytree2020 · 19/11/2020 11:44

@jessi60 ya I’m just feeling like I’ll never see LH surge at this stage, also worried I’ll miss it if it’s sudden? I’m only testing around 11am & 5pm so if it’s sudden in between I’ll miss it! 😫 wish I just knew what was going on with my body ! 😂

positivitytree2020 · 19/11/2020 11:43

@jessi60 is this your first day using the CB? The first day using it will always show up as the blank circle, as Day 1 needs to be the baseline to measure any rises for the rest of the days! So don’t worry!
If you started it late you’ll prob just get the smiley faces sooner! But Day 1 will always show blank! 😊

jessi60 · 19/11/2020 11:21

@positivitytree2020 I’m the same. Don’t know if much is going to happen now that I’m at the half way point🙁 x

jessi60 · 19/11/2020 11:19

My lovely low fertility sign in the pic🤦🏻‍♀️ but my other ovulation test is the highest it’s been at the dizzy heights of 0.32 🤣
It does say that with my 28 day cycles I should of started the clear blue on day 8 but I’ve started it on CD 14 as I only ordered it last night🥴 does anyone know much about them? Just wondering as I think the first time is like the base line reading the tests uses and then bases the next days reading to what it was like the previous day if that makes any sense 😂 x

positivitytree2020 · 19/11/2020 11:19

Morning all! ☺️ My morning update, still getting a flashing smiley on CB tests (Day 3 getting these), I am now CD13!

Still not much progress on my OPKs as you can see from picture! 😐
Not sure will anything happen this month at this rate since I have a 26-29 day cycle!
DTD last 2 days just in case!

Well it came and I got the low fertility sign so not even a flashing one. Never mind! X

Klprr93 · 19/11/2020 11:05

Thank you so much all. I have had my bloods done this morning. They said Monday for the results 🙄

I am going to be cheeky and ring this afternoon and just on the off chance it has been done.
And @jessi60. I have done the same before. Hopefully they turn up soon for you lol

jessi60 · 19/11/2020 10:58

Hey everyone, hope yous are doing okay.
@Klprr93 so excited for you, the best news!

I’m sitting here waiting for my clear blue ovulation test to arrive and still haven’t had my first wee or the day yet 🤣 think I’m going insane x

DrS44 · 19/11/2020 10:38

@Bells20 yup I'm in my TWW 🙈 how about you? I'm about 4 days DPO now.

@Dex1521 mine woke me up and was pretty constant for a couple of hours! Not sure if it's normal but it happened to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

@AMS19 awww nooo. I thought all the stress would be over 🤣🤣 how naive of me 😭🤣 xxx

Dex1521 · 19/11/2020 10:14

Probably sound silly but if I am having ovulation pain on my left sound it be like constant. It’s not hindering me from doing things and don’t feel that I need painkillers but it’s just constantly there

I told my OH and he thinks I have infected glands in my groin because he got it once 🤨 like mate it’s nowhere near my groin 😂 but he doesn’t like to get his hopes up about TTC, he is under the impression that “it’ll just happen when it happens” and OPKs and everything else are a waste of money 😂 so maybe he’s just tying to use it as an excuse. It really annoys me how laid back at times he is 😂

AMS19 · 19/11/2020 08:52

@Lucille3 yeah I am not sure I'm cut out for all this stress. Lockdown isn't helping at all. I need to get out and distract myself. Have a spa day or something! Just get out the flat 😭😭 im going to book a 7 week scan now though, I cant wait until the 10 week one I was booking. I would ideally go before 7 weeks but apparently chances of seeing the heartbeat are slim!

OP posts:
Lucille3 · 19/11/2020 08:44

@AMS19 it must be so hard!! That’s why I’m really trying not to test early. Conception is so emotionally tough and then pregnancy is this constant state of heightened anxiety, abd then parenting is so much uncertainty and tiredness. Remind me why we do this again? 🤣

@DrS44 I hide most of my insane POAS tendencies from my DH. I keep all my crazy locked up tight 🤣🤣🤣

Lucille3 · 19/11/2020 08:41

@Bells20, yep mine are often really really low and then suddenly shoot up over a short period of time (this month was quite long!), so much so that I miss it...so I POAS at least x2 when I’m hoping ovulation is likely.

And yes, in the 2ww but not holding out much hope as we didn’t dtd as much as we should

Dex1521 · 19/11/2020 08:38

@DrS44 that would make sense if it’s low today then. Better get busy today too though definitely don’t want to miss this 🤣

@Bells20 I think I’m 1dpo tomorrow as today my app is saying today is ovulation day and I have that pain in my left so it matches up

Bells20 · 19/11/2020 08:35

@Klprr93 this is amazing!!

@Lucille3 that blazing positive opk makes me very happy!! It's nice to see that yours jumped from being very low as well, gives me hope that mine might jump up soon!

@Lucille3 @DrS44 @Dex1521 - are you all in TWW now? Anyone else?

AMS19 · 19/11/2020 08:31

Honeslty @lucille3 and @drs44 if you think the TWW is bad, wait until you actually get your BFP! I got mine at 12DPO, 4 days before my period was due and every day since is proper dragging! It is killing me!
