@Dex1521 I'm unsure for definite what dpo due to a range of test results I could be around 6-8 but I purposely checked within the time bracket because I was panicking if it's a evap line. I've put a picture on this post and adjusted the photo so you can see. There's a slight shadow not gonna get to hyped on it just in case but not been well since Thursday last week. Really bad back, nausea, been sick one night so I don't know. Good signs but we will wait!

@apwilso hope its good news for you!! What dpo are you? I got my BFP at 11dpo On a clear blue early response and Shadow on an IC - 10dpo was a stark white on FRER

apwilso · 01/02/2021 19:30

Thanks @laura2093

Don't want to get my hopes up cos I'm still quite early to be testing

laura2093 · 01/02/2021 19:10

@apwilso my fingers are crossed for you 💜

apwilso · 01/02/2021 18:46

Right guys I've had a cry because I don't know if what I saw is a line or just frer throwing me off. When I saw line I mean shadow! But done a FRER just then so an afternoon wee and I can see a slight shadow on it. It's hard to get a picture of it not picking up on camera. I'll try in the morning or leave it a few days!

apwilso · 01/02/2021 07:56

@Louisa199 I've found it well unreliable this month and a few other people have had issues. It's been basically bleaching the test results for the percentage number and had to adjust everyday

I've attached My tests b just don't know what date to go off for ovulation

@Dex1521 I think your right - we DTD friday and sunday! Hopefully today too ha ha! Hopefully it will be enough! Bbt up again today! Fingers crossed for us! And you all too! Xxx

Louisa199 · 01/02/2021 07:11

@apwilso as for I know, premom only adjust the ovulation day when it labels an LH peak or marks a BBT spike. Well, the peak can change if you keep getting higher number, maybe you can share some pictures of your test results so the rest of us can take a look.

Dex1521 · 31/01/2021 13:49

@laura2093 try and stay calm as you don't want stress to affect it but to me it looks like you ovulated yesterday as your temp jumps 24hrs after ovulation and yours has gone right up today. Keep taking your bbt and if it does go up for the next 2 days you'll be in your tww! But definitely think you ovulated yesterday. Also keep DTD we did it at 1 and 2dpo whereas we usually stop on the day of ov. But keeping DTD helped us conceive this month

I've heard people say they don't ever get a peak fertility on the CB tests so I wouldn't panic the most accurate way to see ovulation is BBT as your temp rises with the increase of progesterone in the tww and then stays up if you're pregnant

laura2093 · 31/01/2021 13:46

@Dex1521

I'm in a right mess this month. Always got a peak on Clear blue after a couple of days of high fertility. This time its been 5 days. I'm sure I had ovulation pain on Thursday and Friday. Had ewcm also weds. Yet no peak?! Chance I have missed it? My bbt says this...

Any guidance welcome!

@apwilso I know, I don't even know if I'm ovulating properly anyway so I'm just mega confused. I'm not even going to test and just wait and see if af turns up in the next week

apwilso · 30/01/2021 10:01

@DNpink82 wish they were different!!!

DNpink82 · 30/01/2021 09:19

@apwilso I never usually feel sick, I was walking round Morrisons trying not to vomit, I didn't have any tea and went to bed early then woke up fine and been fine since. Obviously I googled it and it said it could be a symptom that af is on her way or pregnancy, so that helps 🙄🤣

apwilso · 30/01/2021 09:03

@DNpink82 don't know why it's so bad! I updated all my things manually and then my ovulation day shifted from last Sunday to yesterday! Which is so ridiculous. I put that I ovulated early this week and it changed it to reflect that I ovulated yesterday!!🧐

That's weird is that uncommon from you. I've woke up this morning and feel sick again and felt sick last night. Don't know if there's bugs going round or what but don't want to overthink it 😒

DNpink82 · 30/01/2021 08:35

@apwilso glad it's not just me, my highest opk was cd16 which will only make me 8dpo but premom has me at 12dpo. I was also really nauseous on weds evening, it came on suddenly and I didn't even eat tea I felt that bad but been ok since 🤷‍♀️

apwilso · 29/01/2021 22:46

I'm on two week wait again. I've decided not happy with Premom at all now. Kept amending my ovulation despite me inputting more accurate test results and adjusting. Showing ovulation today when I've not had any higher than a 0.10 rating. So I think I'll do everything manual myself!

I'm on TWW now I think I'm around 2/3dpo depending. Last night I was nauseous and ending up being sick went to bed early but glad I was working from home. Today not felt the best but felt better as the day went on. Not like me to be physically sick 🤦🏻‍♀️ love to start the TWW off with that massive symptom 🤣

Dex1521 · 29/01/2021 22:22

@laura2093 hey I'm not too sure honestly are you testing in the afternoon with OPKs? I used the easy@home tests from Amazon and tested around 11am. I'll attached this months chart to show you if you want to compare but remember everyone's charts look different. Really hope you get your peak soon

1992EM · 29/01/2021 21:54

I hope everyone is well and good luck to anyone who is due to test. Sorry to those who AF has arrived for. I will be due to ovulate next week or so. x

OP posts:
Tabbycat92 · 29/01/2021 07:05

In fact my ovulation tests always have higher results in the evening around 8/9

Tabbycat92 · 29/01/2021 07:05

@laura2093 if you're testing for ovulation I was always told that early afternoon is the best time to check, after holding urine for at least 3hours.
If you're going to have an LH surge it usually happens in the morning, so the test would pick it up early afternoon.
It's only pregnancy tests that are better on fmu

laura2093 · 29/01/2021 06:47

@Dex1521

Hello,
Been testing as soon as I wake up, CB has said high fertility all week, no static smiley face yet! Argh what's going on!
Is that normal?

Xxx

Misswhoshallnotbenamed · 28/01/2021 21:52

Hey all... hope you are all OK!
My AF came on 22/01... so I am prepping for next ovulation and I bought OTK like I see you all use.
Good luck to us all again this month xx

DNpink82 · 28/01/2021 19:37

I don't want a winter baby as I've got horses and it will just make everything much more complicated but I'm still actively trying as I don't feel I've got the time to be fussy 🙈

Anybody else feel really sick/nauseous just before AF arrives? It just came over me suddenly and now I can't face eating tea 🤢

apwilso · 28/01/2021 10:07

@Tabbycat92 I'm an October baby and I love it so I'm hoping that this is my month. I felt similar with the December thing but we've been trying since October so at this point I'm down for any month! 😂

Tabbycat92 · 28/01/2021 09:26

@apwilso I had my IUD out in July, so have been trying since then. Only started using opk's since September so I suppose only properly trying since then.
I really felt like it was gonna be my month this time. I'd have loved an October baby, I'd be happy with a November baby but I don't think if want a December baby as it'll be too close to Christmas. So if we don't succeed next month that's us out for two months.
