🧙Witch day did I ovulate?!🧙

Awwww congratulations @KayL1988!
Sorry for the bfns ladies.. its not over until 🧙‍♀️ shows up!
❤

@KayL1988 that monitor sounds lucky! Can I buy it off you 😂 two BFP in a row!

@SareBear87 sorry to hear of your BFN Sare! Go and stock up on chocolate to console yourself for now 🤞

Sorry about the BFN @SareBear87 ... hopefully the BFP comes this weekend for you. I did the same with no chocolate... instant regret!

@Sparklingwine1 it's pretty decent, I got it second hand from someone who got pregnant before they got to use it.... so maybe keep an eye out? I think the CB connect strips do just a good job though!!

Thank you @SkeletonSkins 🥰

@Peachycream okay so I googled it and apparently you can get positive test including digital from 7DPO with dehydrated pee! And I didn't drink a lot yesterday because of work so maybe that had a big impact. Apparently some women just have a higher HCG response and for some it does indicate multiples. It could also be a whole list of scary things
no doubt, but for now I'll focus on my HCG being Uber keen. Fingers crossed it's all healthy.... and I can be the most dedicated cheerleader for all you 🥰🥰

@KayL1988 I have just watched a video on that Clear Blue monitor and WOW.. that is super snazzy! I may very well consider that in a few months time if I haven't had any luck.

Xx

Oh no @SareBear87 sorry to hear that! How many DPO are you?

I caved and tested... BFN, of course it was!

I'm such a muppet, I don't know why I do this to myself. I wish I had the will power to hold out until 🧙‍♀️ or at least 2-3 days before hand!

We don't even have (consolidatory) chocolate in the house because I was trying to be healthy 🙈

Just popping in during my lunch break so sorry if I miss anything but omg congratulations @KayL1988 that is so super positive!!!! Amazing amazing news!!!

Yeah I thought that too @Peachycream but then read the instructions and it said it can be used up to 5 days before missed period. My period due date was any time from today until Saturday going off my cycle. All the tests are showing it... going to try to hold off until Friday to test again and hope it's not some weird fluke where all the tests are wrong 😕

I don't think I'm further along in my cycle I've been so rigorous with tracking this month. I did think my ov date was off by a day based on my temperatures... but I didn't think it was enough to make a difference.

Thank you @PeanuttyButter I was in such a tizzy this morning I didn't think and then posted and spent a good hour worrying I would upset people.

I'm hoping that we get lots more over the next few days🥰

Thanks @SareBear87 🥰🥰 a digital has confirmed too! So glad I had my stash of tests or else I'd be having a breakdown today!m trying to figure out when I could buy tests!

@Sparklingwine1 I used CB fertility monitor this month, but to be honest I found the CB sticks just as good (I just did it so I wouldn't waste tests). The clear blue connected sticks auto sync with the Clear blue app, or you can manually put in a peak when you get a static smiley on any of the apps. I used the cheapie strips along side the CB as I had some left and the strips seemed to match up with the clear blue.. but if I hadn't had that static smiley I knew I'd be obsessing about the line not being dark enough. The CB are expensive but I feel like they made me feel better because I didn't worry about misinterpreting my most fertile.

Thank you for the welcome guys, I've been following the past few days but not had chance to reply.
Sorry to those who have had bad news and those that are still in limbo.
Congratulations @KayL1988 on the BFP it's awesome seeing positives on here.
Fingers crossed for us all going forward

@KayL1988 that's a really strong line!!! Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳🥳

@GingerTea333 yup that was me a month ago. I cried, and I mean properly sobbed, because... wait for it... the pigeon building a nest in the tree at the bottom of the garden, dropped a twig mid flight so had to find another one.... 😵‍💫😵‍💫

The urge to test is strong today. AF is due in 5 days and I'm pretty sure it would be a BFN anyway!

Well my fingers are crossed for you @Sparklingwine1 keep us updated on how you get on :-) I only have one FRER and a CB digi left so really going to try and wait it out if I can!

@GingerTea333 I 100% have days like that 😂😂😂😂

I feel very sorry for our DPs sometimes ... but then they don't have to pee on a stick daily so actually it's swings and roundabouts

Yes @Aries491 that's true. Tbh I will probs test tomorrow or Friday - I have some more FRER arriving tonight. My self restraint has gone out the window this month so I think fook it, I may as well continue with the obsessive testing and just try harder next month to wait until more near AF date.

I remember you describing your cycle before. I really hope that the fact this month is so long and a bit unusual is a positive sign for u 🤞🏼

@HRP1990 yes do keep me posted on how the temping goes around that time.

@KayL1988 did you only use the CB ovulation test this month or LH strips? The strips are stressing me a bit at the minute so I'm debating buying a CB digital one. What app do you need to use for the CB one?

xx

@HRP1990 I am taking daily asda pregnancy care vitamins (like a multivit) but been taking them since end April time and they didn't do anything to my last cycles so not sure but it could be that as i have heard that before also. Agreed though with me having a static smiley on CD20 a longer LP is beneficial to my body :)

@KayL1988 it does indeed, I don't think anyone has the same cycle all the time...i wonder if ttc has something to do with it as well haha!

Thanks @Sparklingwine1 sorry about the BFN. You aren't out until 🧙‍♀️ arrives! I really enjoy my thermometer.. i think it helps show a pattern. OPK strips drive me mad... much prefer a smiley face... I think I panic it's not dark enough etc.

@Aries491 that's so annoying, holding out is so difficult. I feel like cycle length varies on so much ... anything else you've noticed???

He should of telepathically known it’s my fertile window!! Haha Ive honestly turned into a psycho now we’re TTC 😬

I’ve been temping the past few days @Sparklingwine1 but not enough to note what’s happening yet, I’ll let you know how I get on around ovulation as I’m interested to see the peak/dip!

Are you taking any vitamins @Aries491? They lengthened my cycle by a few days? If anything a longer LP phase is good right? Like the other ladies said it’s still early days, I’ve been plenty of threads with a BFN at this stage 🤞

I am into full PMS crazy woman mode over here. Only 9:30 and already this morning I have had a massive fight with my boyfriend and stormed out of the room because he was working and wouldn’t have sex with me, burst into tears and cried about not being married and having a baby, and had a full on meltdown at a wasp that flew into the kitchen while I was making my breakfast. I am such a delight 😂 please tell me everyone else gets like this sometimes??

@Sparklingwine1 you ain't out until AF arrives! I've been reading a few other women's experiences and 11dpo is Still early for a lot so you never know. Maybe wait a couple of days and try again or are you just going to wait for AF?

My cycles are confusing me this month lol last month was 29, prior to that they have skirted round the 30-32 mark. Today is CD32 and no sign of AF just some very small cramps but I usually spot before. Fitbit is predicting me to have a 14day LP which would take me to Saturday due date but that would be like 34 days long, out of the ordinary for me! I have 2 tests left so unless something dramatic happens or she shows her face I might try to hold out till Sunday....try being the main word here 🙈🙈🙈

@Aries491 and @80sPadme I got another BFN today (11 DPO). Won't give up hope until AF arrives but I think I may be out this month.

I've been holding out buying a thermometer to temp until AF arrives so now I just want the 🧙🏼‍♀️ to hurry up so I can buy one and start temping. I got a bit confused by my OPKs this cycle and not sure I got a real peak or not. So I want to try even harder next cycle to pin point when ovulation happens.
