Opinions needed. Driving my self insane.
I'm cycle day 17 today and was expecting to get my peak but no such luck. I had EWCM Cycle day 9 which I thought was too early for ovulation but we dtd anyway just in case.
I have nausea, tender boobs and woke up last night in a cold sweat so my hormones are definitely doing something. I had spotting for two days cycle day 13,14.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who would be thinking I could possibly be pregnant. Logical rational me knows it's likely due to my peak being right around the corner but I can't help but convince myself it must be pregnancy hormones 🤦🏻‍♀️

@positiveovernegative I don't trust First Response from past experiences. For a FRER to be positive to me it needs to be obvious. I'd definitely try another brand though. I have been recommended boots own brand if you are in the Uk. Fingers crossed that you do get your BFP! Keep us updated xxx

@positiveovernegative yep my AF made a show:( so I'm going to try and push all symptoms to the back of my mind next month!!

And I definitely think I can see something in the FRER test!

Did a FRER don't know why, is there a line or do I have line eyes?

@positiveovernegative I do think your test looks quite dark but might not say it's peak ovulation yet. I haven't taken any myself but have seen a lot xx

Hey ladies just catching up here.
@Km12345 did your AF show?
@ButterflyBailey sorry about the negative tests did AF ever show?

I stopped testing for ovulation when I went away so no idea if I ever ovulated or not but I just did my first strip ovulation test as normally use digital and this is the result. Seems pretty dark? What you ladies think?

Yes, fingers crossed for next month. I have had both vaccinations but early on as I'm high risk xx

Km12345 · 26/08/2021 08:56

@ButterflyBailey oh no , sorry to hear that 😢 maybe next month is for us!

Out of curiosity, have you had the covid vaccine? I'm starting to think that's what's messing around with my cycles ! X

ButterflyBailey · 26/08/2021 08:45

@Km12345 Negative xx

Km12345 · 25/08/2021 19:54

@ButterflyBailey wishing you luck!! Xx

ButterflyBailey · 25/08/2021 19:36

@Km12345 I have the tests all ready for the morning xx

Km12345 · 25/08/2021 17:43

@ButterflyBailey when I tested yesterday I used se pharmacy own brand as that's all there was 🤦‍♀️ but when I tested previously I used clear blue and first response.

Still no proper AF . One more bit of light spotting 🤷‍♀️x x

ButterflyBailey · 25/08/2021 15:18

@Km12345 When you tested which brand did you use? I have MomMed and First Response left. I'm going to use both to be sure xx

ButterflyBailey · 25/08/2021 15:15

@Km12345 Good afternoon
I'm alright, I am planning to test with FMU tomorrow morning. I had been planning to this morning but didn't have the test ready. How are you? Has AF started for you? x

Km12345 · 25/08/2021 10:43

@ButterflyBailey how are you ? Did you test?x

ButterflyBailey · 24/08/2021 12:10

@Km12345 Yes, I'll keep my fingers crossed. I think I will just let it happen too xx

Km12345 · 24/08/2021 11:53

@ButterflyBailey maybe we can both keep fingers crossed for next month!! I'm going to try and not think about it , not watch for symptoms ans hopefully just let it happen! Xx

ButterflyBailey · 24/08/2021 11:42

@Km12345 I'm glad you're feeling ok. I think I'm out this month xx

Km12345 · 24/08/2021 11:14

@ButterflyBailey I'm feeling OK, I've had a bit more red discharge so I'm assuming AF is just coming slowly

ButterflyBailey · 24/08/2021 10:48

@Km12345 That's a bit strange. How are you feeling? I'm waiting a few more hours until I test. My boobs are a bit sore but other than that I don't have many obvious symptoms xx

Km12345 · 24/08/2021 08:21

@ButterflyBailey good morning

Still no AF but negative test 🤔 not sure what is going on with my AF
How are you ?

Km12345 · 23/08/2021 10:18

@ButterflyBailey if I still have no proper sign of AF I'm going to as well xx

ButterflyBailey · 23/08/2021 10:03

@Km12345 Are you testing tomorrow? Xx

ButterflyBailey · 23/08/2021 10:02

@Km12345 I feel so confused. When I tested after the brown discharge and had a very faint line it confused me. It was with MomMed and I have never had any sign of a line in the past with that brand. It was probably too early and not so reliable though. Then having felt this way over the past couple of weeks maybe more has confused me too. I still have my fingers crossed for us both xx

ButterflyBailey · 23/08/2021 09:54

Yes, I'm still testing tomorrow x

Km12345 · 23/08/2021 09:35

@ButterflyBailey it's so hard to know what to to a think!!

I'm totally convinced I'm not because of the blood yesterday , although it really wasn't a lot.

I've been having a bit of heartburn which I suffered terribly with in my 1st pregnancy, but I get heartburn randomly anyway.

Are you still testing tomorrow? Xx
