End of November testers (TTC August Baby)

@Roxybabe you have however many hours after the egg has been released too where it’s hanging about, is that not up to 24 as well? Your odds from sperm already being in there will be just as good as having another shot I’m sure

@Roxybabe I know I think that’s why people do bbt alongside it but I know I can’t trust myself to start adding another layer of paranoia into the mix so I’ve never let myself get the thermometer 🙈

@TickingTui this is what’s been happening with me since coming off the pill, it’s a short luteal phase.. there’s a thread on here for it! Of course there is 😂

Do you always ovulate quite late? If it was to come forward you would be okay probably. I had really heavy periods the last two months so I wondered about the failed implantation thing too. If it’s a short LP progesterone isn’t high enough to stop AF coming so you have no way of getting pregnant that cycle and it’s just clearing it all away whether your body is trying to make a baby or not! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I took maca root and ovulation was earlier this month

@Roxybabe in the book I read it seemed to be from the peak and they said really most women are 24 hours, very few are as long as 48

@Roxybabe thank you!
Will try and hold out til the weekend 🙈 I wish FRER tests weren't so damn expensive!

Peak early Sunday morning, ovulated Sunday. We've done all we can, 1 DPO today!

@Roxybabe I was so hoping it was, as it started as spotting.. but it's gotten so heavy it must be AF...

I wasn't due til 18/11, but spotted on the 13th then full on the next day. It's so weird that it's here so soon 🤔

Hi everyone! Hope I'm OK to join!
First month TTC baby number 2!
Currently in my TWW and overthinking every possible symptom 🙈
What's usually the earlier a FRER would pick anything up? I'm 7 DPO at the moment x

@Roxybabe I used my last stick this morning 🙈 I don’t have any more in the house but I’m going shopping tomorrow night so I think I’ll pick up something more sensitive! AF is due Saturday or Sunday! That is true about ovulation.. as I either ovulated earlier than the app predicted or I missed it by only testing once a day! I did have EWCM around that week 🤔

@ChloeN thank you, that’s a good idea! I will have a look tomorrow when I’m at the shops ☺️

@BCxx Sorry it took me a while there! I'm gutted to say AF has arrived... and bizarrely at 9 dpo.

I've been baffled how I could have come early when my LH strip came up strong CD20/21. I wondered was it a false reading but I used 3-4 strips to be sure!

So looks like I'm out for this cycle 😪Has anyone else had earlier periods like this before? I can't figure out what happened and worried I had a failed implantation or something?

@Laul89 i can defo see a line! I would use a clearblue digital ultra early if you can, then there’s no guessing at lines and think they’re super sensitive too! Xx

@BCxx thank you! Fingers crossed for you too! 🤞🏼 I have been the same, symptom spotting like mad! 🙈 I asked my husband if my boobs looked different the other day and he looked at me like I was crazy 🤪🤣

@Roxybabe thanks 🥰 what I say and what I do are two very different things 🙈 we will see how long I last. I just think if I do it too soon again I’m going to get my hopes up too much and I’m terrified this morning was an indent or evap line.. plus I don’t think I’d settle completely until AF didn’t come.. I’m a terrible overthinker 🥴🤦🏻‍♀️

@BabyMamma7 you me and @Aprilsunnyday are testing around the same time. Fingers crossed for us all.

I am having weird tummy cramps but don't really know what it could be. X

My boobs are definitely more ‘solid’ feeling (the only way I can describe it) 😂 and when I was pregnant with my son that was the only way I knew before I got a BFP. I don’t get anything like that around AF so it was a giveaway sign, now I have it again tonight. Trying not to read too much into it though 🙈

Yeah definitely get a first response @Laul89 ! Looks promising 😬 I have them and the clearblue digital early as I found they were both equally as sensitive last time

BFN for me this morning at 8/9dpo, that’s my FRERs all used up so itl need to be the clearblue tomorrow then if it’s negative on Wednesday I’ll just need to wait.. tests are too expensive to be going through one a day 😂

@Roxybabe exciting! You’ll be fine if you dtd last night then, the odds of conceiving the day of/day before and surrounding days is only like 2% of a difference or something weirdly! Plus the fact you hear all these people getting pregnant first time without even doing opks!

@Roxybabe thanks so much for the advice! I’ve been googling and now got myself worried it’s an indent or evap line however I took the pic within 10mins!
I’m going to wait a few more days and test again with a more sensitive test (this is going to be absolute torture!!!)
Will let you know ☺️🤞🏼

Thank you 🥺 I’m so nervous/excited but I don’t want to get my hopes up as the line was so faint 😬 would you say the first response are the best ones to use? I might give it a couple of days and test with one of those! I haven’t even told my husband as I would want it to be a nice surprise when I was definitely
sure if that makes sense 🥺 I don’t think I’d believe it fully till AF didn’t come anyway!

Fingers crossed for you.. at least you managed to DTD over the weekend 🤞🏼✨
