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 😁

@Confused678866 probably order some it's handy to know what my cycle is doing and if it's going to be long/short. As it's changing every month atm. Hoping it's earlier than cd 28 tho 🙈🤞

@Skl2021 Yeah I was using the One step ones too and then I caved and bought the Clear Blue one but that's an expensive habit to get into 😳 xx

@Confused678866 yes just the thought is pissing me off tbh 🤣 currently deciding if I should try another brand or stick to the cheapies. Seen alot of reviews about them ones that u put into an app. Is it premom or femometer. Just don't know if it's worth the extra money or if they show up better. Them cheapies I used took ages to colour. And the strip was like tiny. X

@Skl2021 Haha that's true.. let's hope he gives his head a wobble by then! 🙄
Oh yeah true, well just keep using them if you don't want to DTD every other day 😂
You're hoping for a shorter cycle and I'm hoping for a longer one 🤣 xx

@Confused678866 oh no 🤦 good job your not at ovulation 🤣 Wel I'm probably going to have to as i don't have a clue when it is 🤔 depends if my cycle is going to behave this month. The length came down a bit last month. Unless it does again this time! Who knows 🙈🤣

Confused678866 · 22/03/2021 20:50

@Skl2021 I did a couple and then didn't bother! I'd say ovulation is a few days away maybe? Was supposed to be DTD tonight but we've had an argument instead 🙄 might just give up this second child thing all together the way it's going 🤦🏼‍♀️
Haha, are you going to use OPK's this month? Maybe just DTD most days throughout your fertile window instead this month? Xx

@Confused678866 that's reasurring then hopefully it won't cause you any problems! I will have to wait a couple of days and see if it gets any stronger. If it is af I wish it would just happen tho then I can get over it. Stil havent taken my opk for today tho 🤣

@Skl2021 I had implantation with my baby. I thought it was just a light period. Lasted for 2/3 days but it was lighter than a normal period but in my opinion it was heavier than what people suggest implantation bleeding to be like.
No as that means your Luteal phases is about 10/11 days which is fine. They say if it's in double figures, it's fine. I'm literally on the brink of that going by my last 2 cycles. 9/10 days is mine. I've been reading up a lot today about success stories and people with either short cycles or short LP and lots of people do just go on to conceive as normal without intervention. There's no scientifically proven studies that it does decrease fertility even though lots of people say it does. So I'm just going to carry on as normal, eat a little better, drink more water and just try to be as healthy as possible. Lockdown diet hasn't been great but as I haven't been gaining weight, I thought I was getting away with it! But lots of research suggests that poor diets/nutrition can have a negative impact on fertility.. my diet was definitely better when I conceived my son!

So don't concern yourself over your LP, yours is fine. It also could still be IB. Good luck! Xx

@Confused678866 11 dpo today I know it could be implantation but don't want to get my hopes up So expecting the worse 😩 never had implantation with my other pregnancies either so seems unlikely. If I do come on does that mean my lp is short aswell? X

Confused678866 · 19/03/2021 09:18

@Skl2021 How many DPO are you again?? If it doesn't get any more/any darker then it may not be AF!!! Xx

@Skl2021 Haha you sound just like me.. All I do is google absolutely everything these days!! Now I've got a new subject to google ... Luteal phases and short cycles 🤦🏼‍♀️
Haha you need to keep yourself busy over the next few days.. hard during lockdown though isn't it! X

@Confused678866 I need to ban myself of google 😂 don't think there's much more I can Google about opks 🙄 now I'm onto how reliable are Ic tests and do they take longer to show positive 🤦👀 you know just trying to keep the faith 🤞 or setting myself up for a massive fail. Why can't I just control myself and wait ?!?!? I will NOT be on Amazon 😩 I can do this haha. Hope these next few days fly by I need them too. X

Confused678866 · 18/03/2021 18:18

@Skl2021 Hahaha 😂😂 it kills you doesn't it!! I mean, rewind a few years when there were no kids in tow and the only thing I had to worry about was whether my outfit looked good when going out, then yeah, sex every other day is fine but my gosh, when life keeps you busy enough, it becomes another job 👀🥴😂
I honestly would ignore the OPK's!! I've read so many mixed things about showing up pregnancy.. some women they do and some they don't!!
Haha, bet you'll be on Amazon later ordering another batch 🙊 xx
