@jodielouise26 that's a line! Congrats!

Everyone on this thread is getting positives and super early too 🤞🏻

jodielouise26 · 02/04/2021 22:48

Still only like 11dpo, but I couldn't hold out any longer.

I've just taken this (this evening) hopefully fmu will be darker tomorrow but I swear I see a line for definite this time...

Anyone else see what I'm seeing 🙏🏼 x

Hi everyone. Joining you all with the TWW. I'm 9dpo and couldn't help but test today, BFN. We only DTD 3 days before I ovulated so I'm not very hopeful but still keeping fingers crossed.

kaylsd · 02/04/2021 17:37

Ps ps, I've completed my 9 day stent at work, happy weekend everyone!!!! Here's my weekend fix of our Mable, look at that little smile on first one 😂🙌🏻🎉

Ps I'm gonna be a good lil one and not test now until a week late being the 6th as I'm still not filled with lots of hope 😂🙈

kaylsd · 02/04/2021 17:21

@justwant2beamum @minthumbugs @els10 thank you ladies I never knew about the OPK thing but it was deffo strong today which shows to me either AF is coming or something else! I did a frer 2 days ago and it was negative at 14 dpo which I've read on here even with a frer at 14 your night aswell count yourself out however looking at my cycle I don't know when any other signs of ovulation day could be as I had a gradual rise and then maintaining temps of around 36.6/36.7 post ovulation when my pre temps are between 35.9-36.1 I'll attach my chart to see if anyone else thinks I could have O later? I didn't have much OPK look this month only a peak once on the 15th of around 90% at 15:00 then negative day after at 17:30 as I wasn't really tracking much this cycle with all
The other O symptoms.. and then today I've got a near enough positive but with no ovulation symptoms so I don't know whether I should baby dance for laugh today just incase 😂🧐 oh it's so fun all this TTC never straight forward 🙈😩 and I've just logged on to Femometer congratulating me, erm hun do you know something I don't 😂😂😂😂🤞🏻

@kaylsd opks go positive when you're pg! After my mc I tested the theory it's true! They pick up hcg. Do a frer tomorrow morning with FMU!! 🤞🏻

els10 · 02/04/2021 14:05

And I knew I was pregnant because of blazing positive OPKs, they pick up something similar to HCG tests x

els10 · 02/04/2021 14:05

@kaylsd I used to do this too 😅 scratches that itch to pee on something doesn't it.
FRER tomorrow, reckon you should broadcast it live so we can all watch. 😂😂😂😂

minthumbugs · 02/04/2021 13:30

Ohhh @kaylsd!!! I'm filled with anticipation 😂 I have no idea how they work tbh. Test again 48 hours after your last test! (Please 😂🤞🏻)

Sorry about the BFN @Seraphim87, there's still hope though. Xx

kaylsd · 02/04/2021 12:38

@minthumbugs @CycloGoose my OPK reading is 119% on Femometer if that helps with the quality 😂🙈 but I don't have ovulation symptoms

kaylsd · 02/04/2021 12:34

@minthumbugs @CycloGoose I haven't a clue what's going off ladies but I'm resisting testing any time soon again 😂😂😂😂 however to fulfil my POAS addiction I did a OPK, any insight if they can predict anything as it's not far off being positive sorry about the quality of the photo my cameras rubbish!

Seraphim87 · 02/04/2021 10:12

Think I’m out this round. Did a cheapie completely BFN. App says AF due Sunday but I’ve not long come off the pill so still not sure on cycle length

minthumbugs · 02/04/2021 09:29

@kaylsd how strange! Omg good on you for trying to last a week 😂 have my fingers crossed it's a BFP ❤️

CycloGoose · 02/04/2021 09:26

@kaylsd I can't believe it was negative yesterday. Was it a frer? Afternoon results are sketchy. I actually had a dream you showed us your positive test on here!! I think I'm maybe a bit overly emotionally involved 🤣😂🤣 I still have everything crossed for you!

@Fifi1086 that really is a lot to be coincidence! Mine were both different but one could have been the MC?

CycloGoose · 02/04/2021 09:20

@slinks8113 that's odd with the OPKs isn't it! Well it sounds like you'd be a great candidate for IVF if it doesn't happen naturally. I like that your DH is so on board. It's good to have a plan.

I'm just on CD7 with the fun about to begin!

kaylsd · 02/04/2021 07:39

Morning ladies hope you are all well! In accordance to my App today I'm 2 days late for my AF, 16dpo I don't feel like it's coming but yet I don't feel like I could be pg either, I caved in yesterday and did a panic POAS (as we all do) in the afternoon and it was negative thinking if I was it would have shown up at any time so I'm not holding my hopes up anymore 🙈 So I've got a funny feeling that I'm having another anovulatory! My friend said her sister didn't test positive until 3 days late so there's a small glimmer of hope but you see so many early BFPs on here it's like crazy :o BUT my chart has officially gave me a warning ! On my temperatures as I've gone over 16 days of high temperatures and still remaining high this morning! So officially in haven't a clue land as to what is going on 😂 I've said I'm going to wait until over a week late then if still negative going to doctors for insight now cause it'll be technically two anovulatory cycles and I wouldn't say I'm stressed or been poorly to have influenced them so something could be off slightly! Who knows, hope everyone is well! I'm on my last shift today after 9 in a row, I'm buggered 🙈 have a lovely good Friday everyone 😘🎉

Ps had a dream I gave birth to a baby girl via c section, was strange as my hub was the one who cut me open 😂😩 as he was sick of the slow the pace was 😂😂

@soontobeamama thanks! Yes I sit here confidently saying I won't use them next cycle but let's see if I can actually do it 😂😂
I'm also 4dpo now so you've got company at least 😘 x

soontobeamama · 01/04/2021 22:56

@Slinks8113 that's all seems very positive news from the doctor. It's so easy to be sucked into tracking and then the symptom spotting, so good for you if you manage to resist!

I'm currently around 5 DPO, with my period due around 10th April - it's just the longest wait ever! I'm still hopeful and keeping positive, but I'm also telling myself that I need to try not to agonise too much in the days coming up and also hold off testing until at least after the 10th if my period isn't here - easier said than done though!

Fifi1086 · 01/04/2021 20:31

Bit of an interesting one, I had two separate readings done on pregnancy earlier in the year and both said May. I ignored cos I was like surely I'll get pregnant sooner than that! Anyway, in the height of my obsessive state ttc last month I ordered a reading from another person and only just found it in my inbox there when looking for something. It also said May 🤔 three separate readings from three different people saying May for positive test or conception. That's quite coincidental isn't it ?

Slinks8113 · 01/04/2021 16:21

@CycloGoose yeah I feel a bit more positive about it. I think we're going to try another few cycles naturally and then book in for IVF if no luck. My partner is much older so he's not keen to continue into next year really.
Ironically, my bbt rose this morning and Femometer confirmed I've ovulated 3 days ago so not sure what happened with the LH strips as they peaked the week before!
I'm just going to relax on this TWW and be reassured that I have options and it all looks positive from a functionality point of view I guess!!
How you feeling now? Have you ovulated yet or just starting? Sorry I think you wrote before but bit behind on what's been said! Xx

CycloGoose · 01/04/2021 15:32

@Slinks8113 FREEEEDOM! Oh I'm so glad it all sounds really positive for you darling. Stress really does seem to be a big factor and my gp said same about progesterone.

I'm trying to stress less but there's no way I'm backing away from the data. It gives me a teeny tiny sense of control over what is ultimately not really controllable.

I'm totally insane though so don't follow me. I've just spent another 20 quid on supplements. I seriously should have just bought TTC specific ones and been done with it. These are all for my obsession about a thin lining. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oops!

I'm also now completely against hormonal contraception. If only I'd known more!

Slinks8113 · 01/04/2021 13:56

It's something to do with quality and number of eggs you have available. He described it as each month there are a number of "egg recruits" and your body picks the best one so the higher the number, the better chance of a good quality egg. I just had visions of these eggs standing in a row waiting to be picked 😂😂 🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚🥚 🥚

That's good @Slinks8113 - perfect?! Sorry not sure what AMH means but sounds good. What CD are you on now? Good on you throwing caution to the wind now lol, hope it helps. X
