Hi everyone! We are currently trying for baby #3 This is cycle 2 and CD5. Period last week was shorter and lighter than normal, really confused me as its never been like that, did 2 tests but both BFN so trying again this month :) Not putting too much pressure on it, just going with the flow and if it happens it happens, trying not to stress too much about it 🙈 anyone else TTC this month? Hoping I can chat in here with people doing the same ❤

@Onehotmess surely 3 tests wouldn’t all show evap lines? I can definitely see a line on that one and I think it looks darker compared to yesterday! Can you get any other tests to confirm? If you’re only 8dpo then it would be faint! I think it’s a positive sign 💕

[quote Timeandtidal]@Onehotmess Did the faint line appear within the test time frame? X[/quote]
Yes it came up within 2 mins.

@Mumofboys20122017 it’s difficult to say - if the dark but negative OPk was a sign of impending ovulation then I would guess that I ov on Friday or Saturday and DTD Friday. So that would put me at 8 dpo? However my app says I ov yesterday but despite doing OPk 2 x per day since Monday I have only had the faintest lines and literally blank today and yesterday x

Mumofboys20122017 · 08/05/2021 12:14

@Onehotmess can deffo see the line! Did you read within the time frame? Hope its not an evap but I don't think it is? How many DPO are you? X

@puppymamababymama congratulations!! I didn't believe mine either until I used my CBD 🙊 delighted for you!!

@onehotmess can deffo see some faint lines there!! Fingers crossed for FMU tomorrow and seeing more lines 🤞❤

@Onehotmess yup so could have been early ov and you caught it! FMU test next sounds like a plan

@Tryingandhopeful yes super lucky thread. Lots of ovulation tracking strategies so must partly be this. And the excellent advice and lovely vibes. Sending buckets of baby dust to everyone TTCing this month 💫🤞

Onehotmess · 07/05/2021 19:46

@Tryingandhopeful the tests I did today were about 5/6 pm so not fmu. Will try again tomorrow. X

Onehotmess · 07/05/2021 19:45

@Tryingandhopeful I have about 50 cheapies 🙈🤪
@Timeandtidal I did OPk last Friday/sat and it was darkish but negative so left it until Monday and OPk was completely blank, same on tues weds thurs and today. So though maybe could the surge have been sat/sun or even last Thursday?! 🙈🙈 this stuff drives me bonkers! X

Tryingandhopeful · 07/05/2021 19:25

@Puppymamababymama yay congratulations 🎉 💕 told you the CBD would tell you!! So nice to see it in actual words 😍

I mean this is one super lucky thread girls 🙌🏻

@Onehotmess I can see a line on both middle and bottom one!!! Wow maybe you just ovulated really early this cycle and caught the egg 😉 when did you do your tests? Was it with FMU? Have you got any other tests for the morning? Feeling excited for you 😍

Timeandtidal · 07/05/2021 19:19

@Onehotmess Yes I can see a faint line on the middle test! Did you track your ovulation through the month? Early ovulation possible? How long is your cycle?

Onehotmess · 07/05/2021 18:40

I look an ovulation test (green one) and it’s negative so I thought well I’m either not ovulating or I’m already pregnant so I did a preg test (bottom one) left it too long so can’t trust the line. Did another and it’s got a line! WTAF?! I’m CD 19, this can’t be right can it?!

@purpleskyssssss Argh! Yes see how the next couple of days go and keep us posted! Hope you can relax over the weekend. ❤

purpleskyssssss · 07/05/2021 12:30

@tothemoonandback21 @Timeandtidal I had the same feeling but just got back from the shop with some cheapies and negative! So we will see what happens over the next couple of days! Grin

Puppymamababymama · 07/05/2021 12:29

Thank you so much everyone for the congratulations 💐 I wish everyone else lick for the BFPs!

@Veronika13 I'm 15DPO today

@purpleskyssssss I agree that CP messes up your ovulation. I had one last month and it made my period 7 days and it has always been 5 without fail. I also had spotting before and I never get that it's always heavy the whole way through. It also makes me wonder if I ovulated later because last month with the CP I picked up pregnancy at 11DPO and this time I was getting very faint lines only at 14DPO. So I think it would be something to consider, but I would try what the other ladies said first cause I haven't tried tracking ovulation myself.

Timeandtidal · 07/05/2021 11:28

Delighted, even! Grin

Timeandtidal · 07/05/2021 11:27

Huge congratulations @Puppymamababymama! Delighyed for you. What a few days you've had. Enjoy the weekend now and relax!

@purpleskyssssss I second PP that a HPT would be an idea. I got a strong OPK 10 dpo which is what made me suspect I had conceived. At the same time, I agree that CP messes up ovulation. After mine I went from always having textbook 28 day cycles , with Ov on CD14, to 31 day cycles with ovulation about CD18. Definitely good you have this information if you do SMEP next month. I'm really hoping you might not need to 🤞🤞

amyannx · 07/05/2021 11:26

@Puppymamababymama congratulations hun xx

tothemoonandback21 · 07/05/2021 11:19

@purpleskyssssss that does sound odd 🧐 have you taken an HPT? Just in case your OPK is picking up pregnancy and your ovulation sticks somehow missed your ovulation this month?🤞🏻Well done for keeping going with the SMEP regardless! 😅

tothemoonandback21 · 07/05/2021 11:10

@Puppymamababymama woooohooo congratulations!!! 💐 This is a great advert for CB 😆 Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy, enjoy celebrating it this weekend 😊

purpleskyssssss · 07/05/2021 10:54

Amazing @Puppymamababymama that is amazing news congrats!!

Well I have had the strangest cycle this month Hmm religiously have a cycle 26-29 days, Ive had unusual % on my easy at home ovulation test and today on day 28 I have just hit my 'peak' (highest reading so far). So don't have a clue what is happening this month Confused

It makes me wonder if last cycle I had a CP as I did a test and I seen a very faint to the eye line, took a pic but the next day I tested again and they was no line so convinced myself I was imagining things, also last period lasted 6 days (normally 4 days) - when ive been looking online a CP can really mess your next ovulation up, so it would explain I suppose! So fingers crossed just keep having to DTD don't think OH will be too pleased as this is the first month we have been doing SMEP Shock

Veronika13 · 07/05/2021 10:47

Omg congrats @Puppymamababymama !!!! I'm so excited for you! You must be over the moon 🥳 how many dpo are you? X

Puppymamababymama · 07/05/2021 10:27

Over the moon right now! I took the other dollar test just to see and I saw another faint line but definitely darker than yesterday then I decided to do the CBD and we have success! I still can't believe it! Thank you ladies so much for helping me through this interesting time 💕 I know I'll still be very nervous until that first scan but I'm so grateful 💐

@Tryingandhopeful Thanks a lot for sharing what you're thinking and what you've found out. I will also talk go my doctor. Second trimester would feel a lot more comfortable, I totally agree.
