Bfn for me this morning :( 12dpo today

lucea87 · 19/03/2021 09:42

@Halpmer it is really considering it records my peak etc but now I know and I won't forget!

I feel so sick today (partly because my BF went and got maccies breakfast I think!) but I also have that feeling like AF is coming 😭 praying that is implantation.

@KatieLooLa let us know what your reading says! My significant date was feb/March from jade Robert's abs this cycle has been Feb/March so just hope she is right 😭 and I have been seeing rabbits daily but mostly easter related, just don't know if it counts.

Halpmer · 19/03/2021 09:40

@KatieLooLa I just noticed this on OPK this morning. I thought I'd test to see what the difference is. First wee of the day brought a very strong line, a few hours later and it's much fainter. Not sure how I feel about this as surely it will be affected by water intake over the course of the day?! Might invest in the CB ones if they're good for first thing in a morning.

Slinks8113 · 19/03/2021 09:21

@KatieLooLa I've never understood the OPKs that ask for that, I am drinking all day so I know I'd dilute anything and terrible for sticking to a time. That's why I quite like the CB ones as it's first morning pee so don't have to worry about timing and holding back 😂 I'm sure you haven't balls it up though, it's still a reading nonetheless and most people test multiple times a day around their peak xx

After reading the OPK instructions, it says the best time to test is between 10am and 8pm... so far the tests I’ve done are either earlier or later and not between stated times. 🤦‍♀️ Thought all OPK’s were pretty much the same... hopefully haven’t ballsed up this cycle too much! X

Fifi1086 · 19/03/2021 08:33

8dpo this morning and have my usual AF style cramps today so not feeling hopeful. FF says AF due Monday but I ovulated early and have a 9 day luteal phase

Lizzie1302 · 19/03/2021 08:22

AF to arrive *
Happy Friday!

h6nn6h · 19/03/2021 08:21

day late 🤞🏻

Lizzie1302 · 19/03/2021 08:20

2 BFNs this morning with cbed and cheapy ones I shall wait for arrive to arrive!
Good luck to anyone testing today xxx

Slinks8113 · 19/03/2021 08:19

Oooh @KatieLooLa exciting times! I've got quite into the fertility readings haha. Just waiting to see if first one I had comes true this month!
@lucea87 my app keeps changing mine and when I've been having short LP it completely changes it and says it's another date but the temps don't match or my ovulation sticks 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️ I thought these things were meant to make it easier 😂
@kaylsd good luck with the extra BD! I'm looking forward to a orange gin at the weekend too! Got Monday off so going to try and do some bits in the garden but I've never really done gardening before 😂 god knows what I'll be doing!
@CycloGoose how you doing this morning? At least we're ever so closer to Tuesday!
Welcome @Halpmer and @Sunshinexx95! I'm sure you'll fit right in! Fingers crossed this is your month🤞🏻

I've just got on the scales and my BMI is 30.0, lost 11.5kgs since new year and I'm very nearly just overweight instead of obese 😂 not sure it's something to shout about but I'm happy with it! 🙈 still on static circle this morning but only CD11 so seems about right!

Happy Friday everyone!

Halpmer · 19/03/2021 08:07

@lucea87 that’s frustrating! Glad you mentioned this, I would’ve been in the same boat otherwise. Strange that it counts peak as ovulation?!

minthumbugs · 19/03/2021 08:04

Welcome everyone! I feel like I feel every bit of everyone else's highs and lows on here, I'm a sensitive Sally 🤣

Good luck to everyone this month. Xx

lucea87 · 19/03/2021 08:01

No BFP cos I've got my days wrong by taking femometer as gospel (thanks @CycloGoose for helping me work this out!) my peak was Tuesday last week, so probably didn't actually ovulate until Wednesday or Thursday. But femometer takes your peak as ovulation. So I'm actually only 8/9DPO 🤦🏼‍♀️

kaylsd · 19/03/2021 07:58

@Halpmer

Hello everyone! I hope I’m okay jumping on this thread, you seem like my kinda people - appreciated the dog pic too Grin keep those coming.

First time TTC and literally just beginning the whole process but I am a nerd for all things temps and ovulation so I’m v. Excited just for that, never mind the possible baby Wink - also a massive Googler Blush.

So early in the process, had copper IUD removed yesterday and I’m right around ovulation. Not expecting anything this cycle, but will certainly give it a go Grin.

It’s great to read about everyone’s experiences and my fingers are crossed for you all 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Welcome hunny :) anyone can join in, there is a small print requirement that you have to be apart of the dr google gang so I think you passed the test with that one :)! I'm partial to a dog picture or any animal picture so feel free to share! It seems like so long ago when I came off contraception myself! Fingers and toes crossed you have a smooth journey 🥰🙌🏻🌈🤞🏻
kaylsd · 19/03/2021 07:53

@Sunshinexx95

Hi guys I hope I can join you ❤️ I'm trying for baby#2 and I have a 6 month old baby girl already. It took us almost 6 months to get pregnant with her and we thought we want her to have a brother or sister soon. So we started Tcc early. My ovulation test showed positive yesterday and today so we dtd twice. I don't have high hopes to conceive first month ttc.. :)
Welcome darling 🌈🙌🏻🤞🏻 fingers and toes crossed you have a nice smooth easy TTC journey, I feel like mines going in comparison of driving over speed bumps at 10 mph as I'm cycle 7 at the moment 😆
kaylsd · 19/03/2021 07:51

[quote KatieLooLa]@kaylsd
Only done 3 tests, so maybe tomorrow they’ll start getting darker again. I was thinking about doing 2 per day but it’s probably best to stick with doing one as soon as I wake.

In other news I bought a conception reading from pregnancyunicorn (saw someone had done one on the last thread, can’t remember who though) hopefully the reading will be correct! 🙏
Good luck to everyone and hopefully BFP’s all round!🤞🏻 X[/quote]
Ooooo I'm partial to a reading myself, what did yours say hunny? Anything of significance for you to look out for or anything like that :')?

kaylsd · 19/03/2021 07:50

@els10

I'm place marking so I can stick around to see all these BFP's roll in over the next month or two!! Xxxxx
You're one of our graduates ofc you're welcome to stick around, hoping you can see many more of us do the same! 🥰🌈🤞🏻
kaylsd · 19/03/2021 07:49

@lucea87

Following on from my post yesterday about my BBT....I told a lie! I was just looking at my app again and I do have interpreted (hadn't spotted it!) for my BBT - this looks much less messy but also looks like it's going's down.
Let us know how you get on today hunny, we're wanting your BFP all the way so fingers and toes crossed 🙌🏻🌈🤞🏻😘
kaylsd · 19/03/2021 07:48

[quote CycloGoose]@kaylsd 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣💕 that image. What ARE you like! I can just imagine you saying that 🤣 I remember the reading! It was amazing and your others said August but that could be the 5 month scan. Just keep doing the baby dance![/quote]
Got to try my best! I think I'm all BD out this month but I'm tempted to for good measure at the weekend for the fun of it! Hot tubs still up and I got a bottle of rhubarb and custard flavoured gin for my birthday which I'm dying to get my hands on! Last day of work today before the weekend and I couldn't be much better, I had about 3 hour sleep last night so god knows if my BBT is normal this morning because I couldn't settle at all 🙈 hope your okay hunny! Xx

Welcome @Sunshinexx95

Girls I feel sick as. I'm terrified to POAS 😂

@Slinks8113 @minthumbugs same with my OH for the beeping 😂😂

Slightly down again this am not optimised looks steady and above cover line still. Cramps been more AF like yesterday & this morning too. I'm now on day 7 of boobs killing though even if it has been up and down in terms of severity.

@CycloGoose my LP is normally petty much bang on 14 days xx

Sunshinexx95 · 18/03/2021 23:05

KatieLooLa · 18/03/2021 22:26

@CycloGoose just the conception one, might do the other one another time.
Think I’m due to get it on Tuesday but not sure on time difference so might be Wednesday morning.
Hopefully yours will be a sticky baby! X

Iloveoreos · 18/03/2021 22:20

@lucea87 are u testing tomorrow? Xx all the best hun

CycloGoose · 18/03/2021 22:19

The spotting I had drove me bonkers @lizzie1302 but it got my my first positive test whether it sticks around or not. Everything crossed but it does sound possible.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst ladies.

@lucea87 I've almost convinced myself I'm going to wake up to your positive frer in the morning! How long is your LP normally? CD10 still early.

I don't understand the smoothed version. Mine looks nothing like what I've typed in. But I am hoping bbt is a lie for me anyway 🤣

@slinks8113 and @minthumbugs I'm totally the same with the waking up and then the bleeping. Mine isn't backlit either so I'm always trying to light it up with my watch. That's why I bought the damned OvuSense which I'm now praying was a massive waste of money!

In other news, my cervix seems to have gone soft so I'm starting to wonder if it might be real.
