Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@SimplyChic just seen your test! Yeah not near ovulation yet I don’t think but it can change every day! Mine is never dark and then randomly it’s positive 😂

MrsSprouse · 21/01/2023 22:34

@SimplyChic I got a dark (not positive) opk the day before my surge and my urine was very diluted, so I don't know if it makes a difference x

Mrsrobinsonx · 21/01/2023 22:34

@Downtherabbithole83 I’m only on cd9 so still a while before I ovulate I should think!
At least you’ve got the positive test 😊

@SimplyChic was the opk positive then? I just go by whatever the test says 😂

Downtherabbithole83 · 21/01/2023 20:42

@SimplyChic I really don’t know - you’d need to check the instructions on yours as I wouldn’t want to give you false information. But as it’s a comparison between the two lines I don’t think it would stop you identifying a peak. I usually try to make sure I’ve not been for a couple of hours but that’s more because I just tend to do it in a similar way to when I’ve taken pregnancy tests in the past 🤷‍♀️

Downtherabbithole83 · 21/01/2023 20:39

@LotzW it’s the Premom app. I love it because it’s free, means I can throw all the sticks away AND it does graphs (I’m a maths nerd).

SimplyChic · 21/01/2023 20:39

@Downtherabbithole83 can urine be too diluted for OPK's? As mine was very pale?

LotzW · 21/01/2023 20:37

@Downtherabbithole83 Hi. What app are you using to track ovulation? Thanks 😊

Downtherabbithole83 · 21/01/2023 20:33

Well I went from 0.25 at 7pm last night to being at the beginning of my surge at 7am this morning… just keep testing! My first indicator was ewcm last night even though my levels were still low. Remember that your app can only ever estimate based on the information you have given it and even then bodies fluctuate month to month.

SimplyChic · 21/01/2023 20:28

@Downtherabbithole83 I also did not hold any urine, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to or not? I just did it when I needed to go

SimplyChic · 21/01/2023 20:24

@Downtherabbithole83 thank you, do I have no chance for at least a few days then? Very disappointed as I've already missed one AF!

Downtherabbithole83 · 21/01/2023 20:23

@SimplyChic that definitely looks low still. Here are mine from the day I was meant to be ovulating until today when I finally got my peak. As you can see, I’m an obsessive tester…

SimplyChic · 21/01/2023 20:20

@Downtherabbithole83 yes please! Here is the one I did not long ago today if any help?

Downtherabbithole83 · 21/01/2023 20:16

My app said I was going to ovulate on CD12 (or 11… can’t remember - I posted about it on here) but I’ve had low levels until today which is CD14 so ovulating quite a bit later than expected!

Happy to post screenshot of my opks if useful - I’ve been doing two a day since I expected my levels to rise. I should have just paid more attention to my ewcm as that was the first indicator my levels were rising.

SimplyChic · 21/01/2023 20:08

I did my first OPK today, according to my app, im supposed to ovulate tomorrow if all goes well, it says I'm low on the premom app, does this mean I'm not going to ovulate tomorrow??? Confused!?! Please help lol 😆

Downtherabbithole83 · 21/01/2023 19:29

Hello! How are you all doing? Any updates?

I finally got a very clear peak on my opk so am ovulating 3 or 4 days later than expected but am just so relieved to see two dark lines on the test today!

SimplyChic · 20/01/2023 12:41

@Mrsrobinsonx I have ordered some, supposed to be here tomorrow, I've also ordered a BBT thermometer but not here until Tuesday. I am trying to take a more relaxed approach at the moment but I will try them and see how it goes 🤷‍♀️ app says I'm due to next ovulate on the 22nd if it happens.

Mrsrobinsonx · 20/01/2023 12:31

@SimplyChic
have you done ovulation tests to see if you’re about to ovulate? X

DancingNancies · 20/01/2023 06:47

@Livingonhope with my second, I got a negative pregnancy test in December and early January. Actually went to the dr mid-Jan because I felt so dreadful, got blood tests for anaemia and other things. Told to take a pregnancy test "just to rule that out" - positive!

He's an August baby, so I would have been 5/6 weeks when I took the last negative test so you're not out of the game yet!🤞

Downtherabbithole83 · 19/01/2023 22:32

@Livingonhope in my last pregnancy I only got a line two days before AF was due 🤷‍♀️

Livingonhope · 19/01/2023 22:27

@Downtherabbithole83 I'm sure I'm out I don't have even a faint line I know still early but Internet is not my friend everything saying I should even have a slight line. My ovulation is bang on every month as is AF...we also DTD literally two weeks straight and that hasnt worked so iv ordered the clear blue advance monitor I'm that determined!

@SimplyChic agree it must be a stress waiting I hope you are OK ❤️

Downtherabbithole83 · 19/01/2023 22:15

Oh no @Emmamoo89 - I’m in a similar situation. Had ewcm right when I was expecting to get my LH surge but my tests haven’t shown anything… and now I’ve got a bad UTI so even if I do get a surge I don’t much fancy dtd! It’s making me a bit grumpy (so my other half probably won’t fancy dtd either 😂)

@SimplyChic sorry you’re still waiting - hopefully your cycle will give you some answers soon. The not knowing and confusion must be difficult.

@MrsSprouse and @Livingonhope I have my fingers crossed for you.

Emmamoo89 · 19/01/2023 22:04

Honestly don't know what's going on. I think I've got a bad batch of lh tests. From CD 10 i had ewcm for 3 days. On CD11 I had ovulation pain and was so horny sorry tmi 🙈 like my lh tests are staying the same. The bottom one I've just done now and I didn't hold a pee. As I've read some bad reviews I thought I'd check . Tempted to do one with water. So annoyed and frustrated. I've definitely covered with bd'ing. Going to keep testing just in case

I'm still waiting for AF (it's me CloudyVenus, I changed my name).

I've had lots of watery cm today so I'm assuming I didn't ovulate last month. AF almost 2 weeks late now 🤦‍♀️

Livingonhope · 19/01/2023 14:25

day 8/9 dpo ( peak was the 9th not sure whether to count from first day or peak) nausea, back ache and head ache but no implantation bleeding or positive test (lh faint line) am I out of the game? Did have a random positive day 6 but I know now it was a false positive

Pitstop1986 · 19/01/2023 11:16

Hope your 2WW goes quickly @MrsSprouse and there's happy news in 14 days.
