Hi everyone!
Has anybody had this issue with Premom? I keep getting different readings on my opks. These photos are all of the same test!

8DPO today for me. Nothing exciting to report at the moment. Managing to hold off testing so far. Aiming to test either 30/11 or 1/12.

@ACNass I’m a nurse too, actually switching back to to nights again this week. I still temp orally but they aren’t as accurate as when I’m just on days. I can still normally see the temp shift in my charts though. Just the charts look a bit ‘un pretty’.I looked into the wearable temp things but ended up just continuing with what I’m doing. X

@Highfalutinlootin thank you for the recommendation! I'm working overnight tonight so I'm going to read into this. I use OPKs too and those have been pretty reliable for me as well

Highfalutinlootin · 24/11/2020 00:05

It's expensive but worth it. I got the cheapest version with no warranty and it's been great. I've changed the battery once in 7 months. I am a huge evangelist for it.

ACNass · 23/11/2020 23:48

@Highfalutinlootin it's funny you posted this I was actually just looking into wearable devices today! I work day and night shifts as a nurse so I found my BBTs after my night shifts weren't very accurate. I think something like tempdrop might work better for me

Highfalutinlootin · 23/11/2020 23:28

www.tempdrop.com/

Highfalutinlootin · 23/11/2020 23:28

@ACNass Have you ever heard of TempDrop? It's an armband you wear that automatically takes your BBT every night while you sleep so you don't have to get up at the same time every day or remember to temp. It's brilliant and has really made temping easy so I know exactly when I ovulate. I track using Fertility Friend.

ACNass · 23/11/2020 22:14

@Raffaella13 yes you're so right. It's all about perspective. I'm definitely going to enjoy some wine this week 😊😊

ACNass · 23/11/2020 22:12

@Highfalutinlootin seems like we're cycle buddies now :) I think I should ovulate on cycle 14/15 which will be Dec 6th or 7th. Do you use anything to help track ovulation? I started tracking my basal temps last month but it's so tedious, I'm not sure if I want to do that again

Highfalutinlootin · 23/11/2020 22:09

@Newstart20 Welcome! Hope you aren't here long.:)

Raffaella13 · 23/11/2020 21:42

@ACNass sorry to hear that!
Its only my first cycle ttc our first so I'm probably still too positive at this point! Just remember that this new cycle might be your time :) and in the mean time...have a hot bath, have an alcoholic drink, all the things you might not be able to do soon etc...before you start again!

Newstart20 · 23/11/2020 21:36

I've been lurking for a while.

We're ttc #1 and just coming up to my fw (hopefully if my tracking is correct!)

Highfalutinlootin · 23/11/2020 21:28

@ACNass AF just arrived a day early. Sad What day this coming cycle do you ovulate? I'm December 6, I think.

ACNass · 23/11/2020 21:23

@Raffaella13 I could definitely use some of your positivity! Have been so discouraged today with AF arriving. Crossing my fingers for you!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Raffaella13 · 23/11/2020 20:51

Come on everyone! I have faith one of us will get a BFP before the month is up! :)

8DPO today for me...stupidly took a test because I'm too impatient. Negative obviously!

PurplePops · 23/11/2020 18:02

@MgW1 that must be so frustrating. Dont blame you for having December off! The whole thing is so difficult, taking the tests everyday and tww i can't believe how much it takes over your life xx

MgW1 · 23/11/2020 17:45

@PurplePops
Yes flashed for 5 days and then blank 😔 il see what happens , having December off so if still Ame in January il speak to doc. Good luck with tww its a killer!!!! Xx

PurplePops · 23/11/2020 17:40

@MgW1 sorry to hear that, how long are your cycles usually? Are you using the CB ovulation test? Got my fingers crossed its just delayed and you get your peak xx

MgW1 · 23/11/2020 17:26

@PurplePops
Feels longer when you havent ovulated like me 🙄 should have had a peak friday but it is still negative xx

Highfalutinlootin · 23/11/2020 17:05

Sorry all who've just gotten AF. Waiting on mine tomorrow. Where's the December thread?!

Dogmum13 · 23/11/2020 16:59

Hi I've came over from the old thread 🙂 anyone else on or around cd5? Also anyone else on cycle 13? 🤦‍♀️

TtcIAm · 23/11/2020 14:58

Hello can i join please :)
26 ttc baby number 2

ACNass · 23/11/2020 13:37

AF has arrived, right on time

PurplePops · 23/11/2020 13:03

Why does the tww feel like a lifetime?! Im only 4dpo and said I would wait until AF was due before I tested but I'm already so impatient 😂

Markygirl1995 · 23/11/2020 11:22

Update: Spoken to the GP, told me not to worry. She said most people don't usually test until they're a week late and wouldn't necessarily show a positive at the moment which gives me hope. She said the cramping is normal in pregnancy if I am time will tell. Shes asked me to contact her back if I still spot which I'm not or if dont show a positive with still no AF. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and staying hopeful!
