Who else is praying to conceive this month?
I’m on CD 1 so I’m praying I conceive this month. Had copper coil removed just over a month ago now, and we avoided conceiving last month as hubby didn’t want an August baby (he’s an aug bub himself)
I’ve always been regular with my cycle and regular with ovulation (continued tracking while on coil) so hoping we get lucky 🤞🏼

[quote Alist12]@arc91 this is my opk from now [/quote]
@Alist12 this is not positive but you may have just missed the peak (or it's coming!). Good luck!

@Twittwoo2020 I'm also 11DPO today and took a FRER that was a BFN. This is month 13 for us, with one ectopic in that time. Was so hoping for a Christmas BFP.

When will you test again?

mich20208 · 18/12/2020 10:44

I did take a few over the last week. I did think I had a hint of something on them but it was very very faint and hardly there unless you squinted enough. I've ran out now 😩 x

treesall · 18/12/2020 10:13

@mich20208 can you get a first response early detection test?

My fingers are crossed for you @Twittwoo2020

Twittwoo2020 · 18/12/2020 09:31

Either 10 or 11 dpo today, tested with a FRER and it was a BFN but I know I’m not out until AF comes! I never get sore boobs ever and this week my boobs felt really heavy and my nipples were super dark. This morning I woke up and my boobs are killing me, sore to touch and it feels as though I’m carrying around two sacks 😂 I also had a couple of drinks last night and woke up feeling like I drank numerous bottles of wine to myself and I don’t normally get hangovers. I’m praying these are all positive signs and I’m just testing too early! Keeping everything crossed.

Not seeing anything on this one 😩

Shall try get a better one today and see. Thank you x

treesall · 18/12/2020 07:53

Ok my previous pregnancies my lines on cheapie tests have always started out super feint. I would say that's positive Grin

mich20208 · 18/12/2020 07:39

Now it's completely dried it is still there but very faint. I'm due on today so would have expected it to be more pink if it isn't an Evap x

mich20208 · 18/12/2020 07:38

Within 5 minutes x

treesall · 18/12/2020 07:37

@mich20208 how long after you tested did it come up?

mich20208 · 18/12/2020 07:18

This is an evap line isn't it? 😩😩

Alist12 · 17/12/2020 15:16

@arc91 this is my opk from now

Alist12 · 17/12/2020 15:14

@arc91 I'm supposed to be 2/3 dpo according to my apps

Alist12 · 17/12/2020 15:14

@arc91 am I just ovulating now as I've just went to the toilet and wiped and there is loads of ewcm, just took an opk and it's nearly the same colour as the control line

arc91 · 17/12/2020 14:41

You still could have ovulated and not caught (got pregnant) sadly! Even if you have sex at the exact right time during ovulation I think there’s only around 30% ish chance of getting pregnant - anyone please correct me if I’m wrong?! I hope it’s good news for you 🤞🏼 Xx

Alist12 · 17/12/2020 14:25

@arc91 that's what I thought but I never caught unfortunately. I haven't had a positive opk but I've been getting cramps the other day. Could I still have caught but my surge lasted short

arc91 · 17/12/2020 14:00

@Alist12 looks like a positive opk to me!

Alist12 · 17/12/2020 11:49

This was my ovulation test from last month on cycle day 15. Is that a positive? If I dont ovulate then I will book myself in to the doctors.

@Rumples Could I have missed my surge. My opk from today is lighter now so really don't know what to do really. Could I still conceive if my opk didn't pick up a surge or that my surge only lasted a few hours?

Twittwoo2020 · 17/12/2020 11:21

So I couldn’t resist the urge to test and tested this morning. I think I’m 10 DPO but I’m not 100% sure i could be 9. Anyway I thought I could see a squinter of a line and I mean an absolute squinter to the point I don’t think you can even see it in the picture 😂😂 i know there is an evap line across the top of blue dye, anyway I feel better for testing even if it turns out to be a BFN, which might sound weird as I just needed to get it out of my system to test!

Will retest on Saturday or Sunday!

Sorry that was supposed to be for @Alist12 😂 x

Rumples · 17/12/2020 09:53

@arc91 hi, yeah I've had my peak etc. It was @Alist12 that was asking for advice on opks 😊

arc91 · 17/12/2020 09:45

@Rumples Hey! Are you taking the opk tests at the same time everyday, I think between 12-4 in the afternoon is when they say? And trying not to drink too many fluids before? That’s what I read and what I was following x

treesall · 17/12/2020 07:14

Looks like my positive yesterday was just a chemical. Cheapie tests are pretty much negative, digital is negative and the frer line is paler than yesterday. I am so disappointed 😢 my P should be due today / tomorrow so it def should be showing by now.
