Would you say the 3rd test down was my peak? Seems to be getting lighter top one was today. These were alot brighter irl. The picture of one on its own was the third test down before it dryed. How many more days should I DTD? And when would I class 1dpo? Thanks 😁

@Skl2021 Yeah I just assumed that it was a period as it was the first month I'd come off the pill too so I just thought it was normal and my body was trying to regulate again but it must've been implantation bleeding! I had a private scan after that too because I just couldn't work out how far I was. Definitely helped with the wait for the 12 week scan!
Haha that's boys for you isn't it 😆
Haha next Wednesday would be CD30 for me!
I think I'm just worried that I'm getting excited that AF hasn't show today but that's not saying she won't show in the next few days! So I feel very 50/50 at the moment 😫🙈 xx

@Confused678866 wow I wish I could wait that long! Wouldnt have long to wait for first scan then! I'm just too impatient 😂 I didn't get implantation bleeding either. Haha yes wild is one word 🤦 all they want to do it play fornite. I just want to go back to bed 🙄 haha I'm only 3 dpo! So next Wednesday at the earliest. How many cd would you be then roughly?! Surely u can't wait that long 🙈 xx

@Skl2021 Haha yeah that's very true 🤣 I think I will see how I go/feel over the next couple of days and then test? I'm at work in the office too so my only chance to do it is before I go to work where as previous cycles I was working from home so the temptation was there all day 😂
Yeah I didn't find out I was pregnant with my little boy until I was around 6/7 weeks and I had implantation bleeding but assumed it was a period. I only tested because my boobs were ridiculously painful and I just didn't feel right.. I'd felt fine before that! I think I'm quietly optimistic this month but that's why I'm scared of testing because I'll be crushed again.
Haha boys are wild aren't they 🤣 well hopefully when things reopen next week, you can take them places and that will keep your mind occupied too! When will you hit 10DPO? Maybe we can test at the same time 🤣🤣🤣🤣 xx

@Confused678866 you could be waiting forever if you are pregnant 🤣🤞 I'd be testing everyday by now 🤦 them symptoms sound promising. Maybe the cramps were implantation? Would match up with your dates. Also I never felt pregnant when I found out I was. Don't think I had any symptoms 🤔 my kids are 7+5 both boys so all they do is fight 😩🤪 yes Easter 2 weeks of arguments I can not wait 🙄. Well last month I held off until 10 dpo so maybe I'll try that again. Just seems so long away! X

@Skl2021 Haha I think it's an ignorance is bliss kinda thing at the moment. I really don't know? Because my longest cycle was 29 days in recent months, I'm wondering if I should just wait a while.. as I don't even know when I ovulated either 🙈
I haven't really had any AF symptoms either. I had a bit of cramping last week and thought it was the start of AF cramps but then they disappeared. I've had a bit of backache on and off too but that's probably because my toddler is always hanging off me! I've felt a bit sicky on and off the last few days too but I had this last month and then AF showed... oh and the random dreams keep happening too. So symptom wise, I'd say it sounds kinda positive but I just don't actually think I am pregnant for some reason 🤷🏼‍♀️ so I really don't know what to think!
Haha how old are your kids? Oh it's the Easter holidays isn't it! When will you start testing? Xx

@Confused678866 omg how have u not tested that maybe good news if af hasn't arrived!! When are you waiting until?! I'm not to bad. Got a bit of a cold bunged up nose not what I needed. Trying to keep my kids from killing each other 🤣🤦 I'm bored of waiting already I want to test 🙊 x

Confused678866 · 07/04/2021 09:43

@Skl2021 Haha no I still haven't tested 🤣🤣 today is it hen AF would be due if I have another 22 day cycle but now I'm wondering if I'll just have a slightly longer cycle as it has been known! 🙈😂
How are you? Xx

@Skl2021 🤣🤣 I actually forgot I had it, came across it this afternoon! If I knew properly when I'd ovulated and was counting DPO I think I'd have caved and used it but because I'm clueless I've just not bothered 😂 xx

@Confused678866 weelllll if u do give in and test then let me know 🤣 I won't have much to report for about another ten days at the earliest so it's all on you for now 🙊 🤞 x

Confused678866 · 04/04/2021 20:29

@Skl2021 I know! So I just don't get it 🤷🏼‍♀️
😂😂😂 haha I'm resisting testing! I'm just going to see what happens next week now.
Haha 🤣 you sound as impatient as me 🙊 xx

Skl2021 · 04/04/2021 20:27

@Confused678866 that should be the most accurate if you have been using it from the start doesn't make sense 😂 personally I would give the app up and test 🤣🙊 I want to already hahahahah. IV got a long two weeks ahead of me 🤦 xx

OP posts:
Confused678866 · 04/04/2021 19:34

@Skl2021 The first one is really off though too? It's giving me a 26 day cycle when my last couple have been 22.. that one says AF is due in 6 days. Another one says 3 days and then another one may as well say 2022 🤣
Yes definitely, everything happens for a reason so you never know!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Skl2021 · 04/04/2021 19:10

@Confused678866 oh maybe go of the first one then? When does that say af is? Should recognise your pattern then. Yes not much I can do now anyway it's here got to deal with it. Maybe the no stress way will do me some good 🤣 x

OP posts:
Confused678866 · 04/04/2021 18:34

@Skl2021 I think it's to do with how long you've been using the apps. One of them I started using at the beginning of all of this and the other two were ones I'd downloaded a couple of months afterwards, I think they have to recognise your patterns etc.
Haha within 5 hours 🤣 bit difficult really isn't it. I wouldn't worry too much about that, an egg is viable for 24 hours I think?? Xx

Skl2021 · 04/04/2021 12:35

@Confused678866 yes wonder why there not all saying the same if you have put the same info in that's weird?! That confuses you even more. I don't know whether to trust the apps anyway 🤣 mine changed quick said 0.5 conception rate on Friday then yesterday said ovulation peak 🙈 now it's sayin have sex within 5 hours of ovulation like how the hell do I know what time it happens 🤔 talk about put the pressure on 🤦🙄

OP posts:
Confused678866 · 04/04/2021 11:55

@Skl2021 Haha I think it probably helps me that I literally don't have a clue what's going on 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 Yeah might delete a couple of the apps! I just thought they'd tie in with each other as I've been putting al the same info into them?
Haha well maybe the spontaneous DTD will do the trick because you didn't expect it so it might be a good thing!! What CD are you on today then? Your cycle should definitely be shorter if you've OV'd a lot earlier than last cycle! Xx

Skl2021 · 04/04/2021 11:27

@Confused678866 yes haha three apps is just going to confuse you! I think a couple of days will be about right! I'd be going crazy now if I was you not knowing or testing! Well my app said ovulation in ten days. Then yesterday when I put that opk in it switched to ovulation today 🙈🤣 that's why I thought I had plenty of time and last month's was cd 28. I knew this would happen and my body decides to spring it on me when I don't expect it. So technically I should have like a 31 day cycle? If I ovulate now. Gets shorter each month 🤦 x

OP posts:
Confused678866 · 04/04/2021 11:20

@Skl2021 Yeah I've read that about the dreams but who knows.. I'm usually sleep deprived from my little one so it's probably just delirium 😂
Yeah I don't think they'd be that dark if you weren't ovulating! I'd say they're definitely your positives!! Sounds like your app is pretty spot on too then 🤞🏻 yeah just DTD another couple of times for good measure then you can take a break 😂
I honestly have no clue when I'm due AF.. going by my last 2 cycles I'd say in a few days but my 3 apps are all telling me different things. Maybe 3 apps is too many? 😂😂 xx

Skl2021 · 04/04/2021 11:12

@Confused678866 isn't that a good sign vivid dreams? 🙄 Yes yesterday was definitely darker although the cheaper blue one wasnt as dark as IV had before. Surely they are too dark to not be ovulating? I don't wna go thru last month again thinking I had it then 2 weeks later it happens again 🤣 only so much I can DTD! Think I will do it again today and tomorrow? That should be enough shouldn't it? My app says ovulation today x

OP posts:
Confused678866 · 04/04/2021 11:09

@Skl2021 Yes I really hope so, crazy what your mind does to you! I've been having some right random dreams these last few days 👀
Oh I think you're right!! Yesterday's tests definitely look like the ones! 🥳 here's to a shorter cycle for you too!! I bet that's taken you by surprise hasn't it 🤣 xx

Skl2021 · 04/04/2021 10:50

@Confused678866 Haha I think it will have been a dream. It will be playing on your mind! Hopefully not to much longer to wait! So I took another 2 tests last night which are the middle. And top one is this morning fmu! So think it was right x

Would I take this as ovulation?🤞
