@EdinburghGirl1 For good reasons I hope you don't join me this cycle and you get your BFP X

@My2boysaremyworld No clue tbh. I've never seen GP for anything like that. I suppose it depends on your gp really. Have you been this late before with AF? Do you think your tooth treatment has interfered with it at all?

Ohhh Iā€™m the same, period finished on Sunday there so I did an ovulation test this evening. Same faint line as you and flo app is telling me that best chances to conceive start from tomorrow. Going to keep taking the tests this week and pinpoint peak ovulation (on top of DTD!)
My AF should due on 25 August, when is yours due?

Gizzy93 · 03/08/2022 21:54

Another thread already šŸ™ˆ
I think I ovulated yesterday, had some cramping on the right side, very weird dream and woke up with very sweaty legs (I'm in Australia so it's winter here).
So I think today is 1DPO

My2boysaremyworld · 03/08/2022 21:17

@BellaTheDarkOverlord would I need to be more than a week late? Xx

lozob · 03/08/2022 21:16

Thanks guys šŸ¤žšŸ»but not getting my hopes up! Just have to try to be patient!

EdinburghGirl1 · 03/08/2022 21:16

Evening all just catching up from today. Wednesdays are my day off with my DD so not been on here much today.

Hi @BirdIsland and welcome. I'm
Also waiting for AF to arrive. Current toy 13dpo. Fingers crossed this cycle for you.

@My2boysaremyworld sorry to hear you got a bfn. Good idea to text again in a couple days.

@cillacilla welcome. Sorry I've only really used clear blue digital ones.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord so sorry to hear AF arrived for. I think I'll be joining you for ne t cycle in next day or so. Keeping positive thoughts for this cycle. Definitely good idea too up the water intake.

@Shiny88 that's good you're feeling more relaxed

@lozob welcome. I'm sorry I'm not sure what might be going on? Maybe post Covid your body is trying to re-regulate?

@LuckyMoonstone welcome too and hope tww goes quickly god you.

@Albieroo This thread is great for advice as everyone has had different experiences x I'm new to OPKs these last few months. I had never used them previously.

@lozobGoodluck! A faint line is still a positive! Hope it gets darker for you.

@My2boysaremyworld What about booking a gp appointment? Would they test your hcg levels?

@LuckyMoonstone welcome! Iā€™m 1dpo, so should be testing around the same time.

My2boysaremyworld · 03/08/2022 20:54

@Missgemini thanks will just have to wait and see what my body decides to do xx

LuckyMoonstone · 03/08/2022 20:53

Hi, can I join? TTC number 2, 5th cycle, currently 3dpo! I will be testing next weekend šŸ¤ž

Missgemini · 03/08/2022 20:52

@My2boysaremyworld gosh, what a limbo youā€™re in! I hope you get an answer one way or the other.

When I was irregular, I would have cycles that were as long as 60 days! That meant it was difficult to TTC blindly.
With my last baby, I ovulated on day 27 and had a positive test on day 37ish. I wouldnā€™t have known how to focus DTD if I wasnā€™t testing.
Ive been regular since my implant came out this time round.

Missgemini · 03/08/2022 20:48

@lozob ooo I hope it ends up as good news for you! Well, if youā€™re getting positive tests and no AF yet, then fingers crossedddd!

My2boysaremyworld · 03/08/2022 20:43

@Missgemini yeah I'm normally regular, sometimes early but not late. My tummy doesn't feel right like something is happening?! My back is in bits and tender breasts. Will test again Friday if no AF.

So what happens if you don't ovulate? Does it mess up AF? Xx

Missgemini · 03/08/2022 20:42

@My2boysaremyworld that is so annoying! You must have ovulated later than you thought. Are you usually regular?
I canā€™t trust my body to definitely ovulate each month, so I have to test to be sure. But thatā€™s because of my previous history of irregular periods.

lozob · 03/08/2022 20:40

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while but just wanted to say hi and ask for some advice! I normally have a 27/28 day cycle but last month it was only 25 days (I think due to covid). This month I'm on CD 30 and no sign of AF until some very very light spotting just now. I've tested and gotten some very faint lines on a few different brands and types of tests but nowhere near where I would have expected if I was pregnant at this point (I'm 38 and TTC no 3 and with the others I had strong positive tests before my period was due). I guess it's a case of wait and see but I'm so impatient and hating this limbo! Does anyone have any experience of anything like this? Could it be covid? Seven seas vitamins? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

My2boysaremyworld · 03/08/2022 19:48

God my back is killing me with some cramps!! Had these got days now and still no AF!! What is my body doing? Xx

Albieroo · 03/08/2022 18:06

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 03/08/2022 18:02

@Albieroo You're looking for that fainter line to be the same bold as the other line in my experience. So both lines to be the same darkness. It should get darker over the next few days and your peak will be the darkest one.

Thank you so much, you can tell I am new to the game!

@My2boysaremyworld Thanks x I'm not too bad tbh. It just makes it clear it's a new cycle now. Fresh start now for a new month. Had really early spotting at 7DPO last month even though it was brown/orange. I know now any spotting is AF for me. Going to make sure I get water intake up this month. Folic acid every evening too and better eating.

Hello all, I am ttc from this month and today the ovulation rapid tests arrived. My period finished three days ago and thought I would just try one (why am I so impatient) and I think there is a faint line? Am I waiting for a bold line? Should we be going for it? Please give me some advice!

Hoping for BFP August/September
Missgemini · 03/08/2022 16:44

Just marking my place.

Sorry to hear about the negative tests.

NatGee · 03/08/2022 16:42

Hello everyone ! 12 days DPO here, TTC for the second month now. Sprinkling lots of baby dust and hoping for plenty of BFPs soon xxx

My2boysaremyworld · 03/08/2022 16:38

@BellaTheDarkOverlord thank you. Sorry to hear about AF xx

My2boysaremyworld · 03/08/2022 16:37

@Shiny88 really?? What caused that then? Xx
