I’m now 3dpo and trying to feel positive. My OPK peak times up with when I had EWCM and I’m sure I had some ovulation pain on Thursday. I’ve never realised it before now but I nearly always have a pain for a few hours in between AF’s so guess I nearly always have it but never paid any attention to what is was or why. Even though the timings all line up I still have a fear that I ovulated much later and missed dtd at the right time. I know it’s irrational 😂

@allgoodthings84 @BlondePotter I agree, I still have my tests from my DS, but still feel I need to see the word ‘pregnant’ to believe it! My line was still vvvf this morning but I don’t know maybe I ovulated a bit later than I thought. Keeping my fingers crossed for us both 🤞 xxx

@BlondePotter that’s what I was saying. I preferred the normal tests as the lines stayed pink forever whereas the digitals went blank when the battery died so was exciting at first then felt a bit annoying spending loads on a test that was blank so couldn’t keep looking at it 😂

@allgoodthings84 it does stay pink, I kept mine from my DD for some reason and it still has 2 lines

Thanks @OCM19 I bought a digital today and was going to tes tomorrow even though it might be too early for it

@OCM19 I’m all good. CD3 now so hoping tomorrow is my last day of AF it’s usually 4 days, occasionally a very light day on day 5 where I just need a liner.

I’m not sure when digitals tend to show and I was nearly 7 weeks the only time I’ve ever used one. I don’t know if I’ll bother using one this time as it was exciting seeing it in writing but then the battery dies lol. A pink line will be enough for me I think as that stays pink (no batteries)

@BlondePotter awww amazing, congratulations. You must be so thrilled.

@CinderellaFant @allgoodthings84 @Angie2018 How are you all feeling?

I did another cheapie this morning and the line is getting slightly darker but still quite faint, although my wee was very diluted (note to self - stop drinking tea (decaf) before bed)!

I saved my FRER for tomorrow, I also have a digital one, my period was due today/tomorrow, so you think that’s too early to test with the digital? Xx

@Angie2018 hopefully your feeling isn’t right this time and you get your bfp. If not it wasn’t meant to be and next cycle will be

AF came a day early on Wednesday but not soon enough for us to properly ttc this cycle so unlikely any luck in July for us. We will dtd night before and morning we go and hope I ovulate within a few days and some swimmers left. I’m not going to be tracking opk as won’t get a peak before we go and can’t use the tests while away so just have to see what happens there I guess. At least I won’t be wondering in 2ww as no point if we don’t even know if timed right etc

I hope you are right but I am convinced it's just not our month. But like you say our month is coming!!

That sucks but atleast you can enjoy your holiday and also hopefully the TWW just will be easy for you on the basis you won't be tracking.

I have everything crossed for you!!

@BlondePotter don’t be embarrassed! It was the right egg for you at the right timing. It’s going to be different for all of us but we will all get the baby that is meant for us. I’m really happy for you 😊

@allgoodthings84 as much as I'm embarrassed to say, this is first cycle round!

@vitahelp I’m sorry AF is here. Sucks being poorly as it is without AF too ☹️. How are you feeling with the covid?

you will be on holiday same time as me. Let’s hope we have a lovely relaxing time that we fully deserve. Although won’t be that relaxing with a 7 year old but fun at least

Hey ladies, sorry been absent for a couple of days I’ve been so poorly with covid and also AF is here now. I’m pretty gutted but also half relieved as I wouldn’t have wanted to start pregnancy with covid and feeling this ill, it would have set off my anxiety. I’m going on holiday in a week so got that to look forward to and starting to come round to this not being my cycle and looking forward to trying again next time.

Huge congratulations to the ladies with BFPs 💜

BlondePotter · 01/07/2022 11:01

Eek! Just went to wash my hair and wondered if I had a FRER left in the cupboard from last time.
Tested on SMU and... Dh is in shock I think as it took us over a year the last time so I said we should get started this cycle in case it takes a year again 🙈 10/11dpo
The test is a few weeks out of date so off to buy some more for tomorrow

Anyone else due to test around 30th June/1st July?
Angie2018 · 01/07/2022 09:35

@allgoodthings84 how are you doing? Has AF come? Yeah I kinda hope she doesn't take until Wednesday to show but I'm damn sure she will. I just "feel it" if you know that I mean so hoping for a late July BFP!! X

@Angie2018 ☹️ Thinking if you. I hope you’re ok and hopefully AF will be here soon and onto the next cycle. Are you sure AF is on the way?

Angie2018 · 01/07/2022 08:04

Congratulations to all the BFPs!! I had to take some time out as I know it's not our month this month! So I am waiting for AF to arrive but have got my head round it now so it's all good. Hope everyone is ok xx

@Norfolk1983 i think implantation is 6-12dpo usually in the middle but not everyone falls into the standard bracket. If it stops after a couple days and no AF then go for the test 😊. I knew mine wasn’t implantation as had the same thing last cycle. I’m CD2 into a new cycle now but don’t think we will be able to time his cycle right to ttc so likely have to skip this month. I mean we will still dtd but very unlikely to get close to ovulation this cycle.

OP posts:
BlondePotter · 30/06/2022 18:48

@Cdoc and @havanamama congratulations!

I've convinced myself that it's not my month... I'm 9dpo if I Od the day after my peak OPK. But not feeling it at all
Might just wait for AF rather than test

Norfolk1983 · 30/06/2022 17:23

Yeah I have to use opk too :) now reading about implantion I’m 13 dpo so could it be….
Now googling difference between colour of the blood 🤦🏻‍♀️ Crazy woman

Either that or I had asymptomatic covid or some other virus which affected my periods and it’s all a coincidence with timing

@Norfolk1983 my cycle was 24 days this time. 33 last cycle! Before that they were always 26/27 days without fail. So basically since I started opk then ttc on the second tracked cycle it’s gone all over the place and all of a sudden getting 4/5 days spotting before too when before these 2 cycles I only had 1 day spotting before! I’m starting to think it’s stress from ttc and overthinking everything as it was fine before. Seems too much of a coincidence. Im going to have to try and chill out more but got to do opk to know when I’m close to ovulation as we can’t just dtd throughout my cycle

OP posts:
Norfolk1983 · 30/06/2022 16:59

AF just started but so early - never this early. So frustrating :( pretty sure it’s too heavy to be anything other than AF

havanamama · 30/06/2022 14:40

@Cdoc im really not sure! My cycle varies by 5.4 days in average and I didn’t do ovulation tests this month.
yesterday the digital was still negative, today 1-2 weeks, so I presume I could be anywhere between 11DPO and 13DPO?

I’ve booked an early 8 week scan on 27th of July, will cross all my fingers and toes that the odds are in my favour and everything will go well until then and beyond.

Cdoc · 30/06/2022 13:52

@allgoodthings84 thank you 😊don’t want to get ahead of myself but quietly very happy.

@OCM19 thank you! I wonder if you ovulated a bit later than you thought, as there are obvious lines on there ♥️It’s just annoying they tell you to wait 2 days to test again, slowest 2 days ever. But have everything crossed for you ✨

@havanamama thank you 😊 and to you too. How lovely to see it on a digital 🤞🏼How many dpo are you? I’m scared to do the digital too early
