Anyone want to join me in being thoroughly distracted for the next 2 weeks?!

I am on CD19. I have a 28 day cycle and no idea when I ovulated but had EWCM really early this cycle (CD11-14).
AF due on the 13th.

We have been taking the 'relaxed approach' for the past 3-4 months. If it doesn't happen this month, going to take a break next cycle to avoid a Christmas baby (anyone else thinking of this?!) and then get properly tracking with OPKs, maybe temping etc.

Sorry everyone who has got AF. Mine is HOURS away, I can feel it!

Have you tested yet @Mysleepingangel or are you being good?!

Sorry about your af arriving guys. But I always try to think about the positive:

There are many who wish for regular af! It's a hidden blessing in a way.

Onwards and upwards!

Applecrumble24 · 11/03/2021 08:48

I'm out too 😔

Bellesjp · 11/03/2021 08:35

Well another bfn this morn 14dpo and can feel af on the way so looks like I’m out ☹️

timeisnotaline · 10/03/2021 20:06

I’m out, nothing at all on an frer at 12dpo. I’ll wait for AF but assume month one did not do the trick.

Mysleepingangel · 10/03/2021 17:12

@TheWhalesOnTheBus the CB says upto 6 days early so sensitive enough?
I don't get cramps this early, just usually the day of af. I've been having cramps on and off though. Maybe it's wind? 😂

@madeinthe80z oh yh I do have some ICs! Are they sensitive enough though? And should I do fmu with those?

Kayleaaa · 10/03/2021 13:12

I think I have a super squinter today but it was only an hours hold, didn't bother doing FMU as I thought I was out but then caved earlier. Waiting 4 hours is going to kill me!!

Congrats on the BFP's!!

timeisnotaline · 10/03/2021 12:30

Congrats whales, melissa!! 12dpo tomorrow so testing then. But it’s pretty mcuh taking all my willpower, I’m sitting here accomplishing nothing but ‘not testing’. I’m no good at waiting!!

Bellesjp · 10/03/2021 12:30

@madeinthe80z yes I use the Femometer opk strips, have found them good to use. If you download their app as well you can take pics of the strips and record on there so you can see them change x

I've just ordered some femometer ovulation test strips, has anyone used these?? We are probably going to use protection next cycle and then start again in May but I am keen to understand when I am ovulating as we haven't managed to get a BFP in 4 goes. I can't have ovulated as early as I though this cycle or I assume AF would have been here by now. I used to have a 10 day liteal phase when I was tracking 2.5 years ago but I've had a baby since then so wonder if that changes anything.

TheWhalesOnTheBus · 10/03/2021 11:03

Thank you everyone.

@Mysleepingangel How sensitive are the clear blue ones? More importantly can you wait? Do you usually have cramps before af?

Mysleepingangel · 10/03/2021 10:48

@TheWhalesOnTheBus congratulations!

Mysleepingangel · 10/03/2021 10:47

I've only got the early clear blue tests. Should I use fmu?

I'm 11dpo tomorrow and had cramps last night 🙈

Bellesjp · 10/03/2021 10:19

@TheWhalesOnTheBus congratulations 🎉

I tested again this morning and another bfn 👎🏼, used a Tesco test as ran out of cheapies 🙈

madeinthe80z · 09/03/2021 23:17

@Bellesjp I do have another but tbh I'm not gonna waste it. I really think the one steps are just being cruel! They are 10mlu but if its picked up on there, a frer should defo have picked it up. I'll do another IC tomorrow but I'm pretty sure its not happening for me this month. Onwards and upwards! I do have bad AF cramps again today, surprised she's not here yet, even though I'm not due till Sat x

OP posts:
Bellesjp · 09/03/2021 21:12

@madeinthe80z ahh that’s rubbish about the bfn on frer ☹️ How many dpo are you now? The one step ones are meant to be quite sensitive aren’t they? Have you got another frer you can try with fmu?

Bellesjp · 09/03/2021 21:10

@melissa112 your last one looks a great line 😊 so pleased it’s improved from this morning!

AF is due thurs/friday, today I’ve needed to wee every hour and so thirsty, very strange! So bloated as well but that could be where I’ve not stopped eating 😂

melissa112 · 09/03/2021 19:25

@madeinthe80z thank you hun. I know I need to not test everyday to see the progression but i think I've become a bit obsessed..x

@Mysleepingangel I'd go with Saturday as then you're 6 days before then but still very early. Fingers crossed x

Mysleepingangel · 09/03/2021 19:18

@melissa112 your last one at 11dpo is most definitely darker than 9dpo. I don't think you should worry and keep testing (I know how hard it can be)
Remember at this stage hcg is still rising.

My af is due next Thursday. Think I'll be OK to test on Friday/Saturday?

@Melissa112 that bottom one is a great line for 11dpo! Yey! Goes with the doubling every 48 hours too!

melissa112 · 09/03/2021 18:25

Hi @TheWhalesOnTheBus that's some good willpower to hold off til Friday. Wishing you loads of luck for testing x

@Bellesjp I think 25miu is still quite high for so early so maybe give it a day or two? When is AF due? X

@Mysleepingangel is AF due this Thursday or next week? Yeh I know what you mean about being obsessive. It's so hard not to be isnt it x

@madeinthe80z sorry about the BFN on the FR. I wouldn't have said that 2 lines on two IC would be wrong but that's a real shame if they are throwing out dodgy results. Will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope you can post the pic x

After my wobble this morning I tested this afternoon out of sheer madness. Anyway I think it looks more promising?

Top is 9dpo pm
2nd 10dpo am
3rd 11dpo am (the one which made me cry as just didn't look dark enough compared to yesterday)
Bottom 11dpo pm

Hoping it sticks x
