POAS Anonymous - Thread 2

@AMS19 Thank you, I hope so! It’s starting to get me down but feel like a right idiot cause people try for bloody years and here I am whinging on.

Stupid app has me at peak fertility. What a load of bollocks 🤣 although I am aware it’s just a prediction ha Xx

Also the colour of that stick is actually rank that’s the colour them bloody vitamins are making my wee so sorry about that 🤢🤣

Another low for me. Frig sake! 😔 My back is killing also so not in a good mood 🤣 x

Just done my daily POAS for cd9 and the results are 0.12 - low. Excited to see it hopefully go up in the next week 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I've been reading what some of you have done re telling your DPs when you hit your peak or not - if it happens to me, I will tell mine. Mainly because who else can I tell in real life?! 😂😂

Thanks @Dex1521 found them! ☺️

@positivitytree2020 not sure how to send the link on my phone but I’ve screenshot the ones I ordered which I hope helps! I searched easy@home OPKs and it was one of the first on the list of results

Also it's all kicking off on the ovulation front isn't it? Haha!

So many 2wws starting soon 🙂I'm excited about seeing some more BFPs in a while

@AMS19 have you come across these bands? They're for travel sickness. Just got some from Boots to see if they will help my mild (but constant) nausea. You have to get them on the right pressure point, I was wearing them too high at first. Just read this study as well which found them to be effective.

Fingers crossed they work! They seem to be helping?

Ps excuse my funny frog hands

@Dex1521 can you send me the Amazon link for the box that has the PG tests in it? I couldn’t find any PG test on Amazon when I was looking for them! 😂

@Bells20 haha mine are to arrive tomorrow easy@home box of 40 OPKs and 10 PGtests that will keep me busy 😂 whenever I did the test the pink dye ran and was hard to even see control line but seems to have settled down when I went back to look recently. Will keep testing with OPKs these next few days and see what happens if it gets darker etc I’ll use the premom app as well to document them. Fingers crossed 🤞 ✨

Good lord what on earth were my thumbs doing in that last message- I meant you've left it quite a long time as you say. I don't know how fat got in there!

@Dex1521 you're right there is a faint line there but for a test to be positive the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control line- so because yours is faint it probably isn't positive but also might not be accurate as your fat it quite a long time as you say. I think CM is often around for a couple of days before ovulation so could very much still be on its way! I'm totally with you, thank for for amazon prime! Who conveniently around 10 minutes ago delivered me some FRER's haha.

@Emmgrem I must admit I'm the same, shamefully I was so forgetful with my pill and probably missed at one from every pack. I know it's bad 🙈. I was just talking to my OH about how so much of my life I've been told how easy it is to accidentally get pregnant but it doesn't feel quite so easy from where I'm sitting now!

@DrS44 I’ve just uploaded a pic of a opk I did this morning and think I’m gonna order some on Amazon now (thank god for prime 😂) I think the symptoms might be ovulation too! My CM has been dry until yesterday where it’s more jelly like and definitely clear as I’m studied it 😂 so another pointer for ovulation I’m thinking

Forgot to upload the pic here it is 😂

@Emmgrem oh god that actually makes me anxious that you would miss that many pills 🤣🤣 I was so strict with it 😂

I mean I'm not sure it's just what I've read as I've been freaking out that my ovulation was so late and if that was actually ovulation or not. So that's what I've found on that point!

Keep us posted though! At least your body is trying to get into the swing of things! And yes I know exactly what you mean about getting suddenly impatient after just making the decision TTC 😂

@Bells20I haven’t started BBT or OPKs yet I was waiting for my cycle to return. I found an OPK from ages ago and thought I’d use it this morning out of interest and it was definitely negative no faint line of anything but I’ve just gone and re looked at it and I think there is a faint line!! I’ve uploaded a pic for others opinions! Could this be an evap line from it sitting for hours?

@Dex1521 ahhh welcome back! Did you use OPKs and spot a surge around then?

I did have soooo many weird symptoms too like smell, bad back and sciatica, nausea, fatigue and lots of cramping! Turned out to be ovulation. I ovulated at CD27 according to my strips!

Have you looked up the CM charts to be able to tell the difference in consistency throughout your cycle? X

Hi @Dex1521 are you tracking temperature or OPKs at all? Without knowing anything else it sounds like it could maybe be EWCM to me so I would be getting busy with your OH!!

Hi @DrS44 and everyone thanks for letting me know about the new thread I had no idea 😂

I’ve been off the progesterone only pill for 3 weeks today (still no withdrawal or period) but been having all the symptoms of pregnancy but suppose they are also symptoms of ovulation/AF.

We DTD 9th, 10, 11th this month and the past few days I feel like I have an increased sense of smell for example I opened a packet of cooked chicken and it smelt so bad to me and my OH smelt it and said it just smells like chicken and when I was cleaning the cat food bowls out a few days ago the smell coming from them made me gag and it’s never bothered me in the past.
I’ve been having nausea but no sickness and dizzy spells where I go all shaky and feel like I’m going to faint.
This bit is TMI so I apologise in advance 😂 I went to the toilet yesterday and after wiping I noticed a large lump of CM on the paper (about the size of a 50p) when I put it between my fingers it was like a jelly consistency and clear which I’ve read can be either ovulation (as I don’t know the day I ovulate yet because of no cycle) or a sign of pregnancy 🤨 today was the same but was smaller about the size of a 1p but only happened the one time I went to the toilet not every time, yesterday was the same.

I just feel like I’m in limbo as I don’t know when AF is due or what is going on with me 😂

@GreenApplesYo
Ahh ok, interesting. Looks like I'll have to be prepared for AF or testing I guess, in 2 weeks time just incase then. I'll keep monitoring things and see what happens over the next week when my predicted ovulation would have been.

@DrS44 Thank you that's really interesting and helpful! I wish someone had told me to come off the pill 6 months ago so I'd have a better chance the first month! Once you make a decision you just get impatient and want to give yourself the best possible chance. I guess ovulating early would be better than not at all!
I'm surprised though because when I was on the pill I was never particularly strict with taking it so was always worried as to why I'd never got pregnant any of those times. And pretty sure I never ovulated in the past whenever I missed a weeks worth. I'd always take more to stop my withdrawal bleed coming on whenever I felt cramping! 🙈

@GreenApplesYo hahaha I love that.

@DrS44 hiya, yes I am using OPKs, the easy@home ones. Today's was 0.17 😂 so hopefully my peak will come out of nowhere in the next few days.

@Dex1521 we are on a new thread now! How are you getting on?
