January Testers (TTC September/October🎃🍂)

With my first the line was barely there at 14dpo let alone earlier lol. Altho I wasn't tracking properly back then so who knows. Here's yesterday's test at 9dpo I feel like altho there's a line it's too close together???

@2021lady about 10dpo assuming I ovulated the day after my peak opk but could be less I suppose.
With my first I got a faint but clear BFP at 11dpo so thought I should be able to see something by now even though logically I know every pregnancy could be different!

How many dpo are you now? Its such a head fck isn't it

I can only see lines if I proper focus. But I'm just driving myself mad lol

For some reason it's not letting me upload them at the moment but I'll try again shortly.

Sorry to hear that @2021lady 2021 lady - do you feel like sharing a picture for us to give a second opinion?
I also tested again this morning, BFN not even a hint of anything

Af due in a few days. I've had a few vvvvvfl but tbh I think they was just ny eyes playing tricks on me.

It's been nearly 2 years ttc for number 2
You'd think by now I wouldn't symptom spot or test early etc.

Just wish I could catch a break

I can feel af on its way so on to the next cycle I guess

Hope everyone is OK

I usually try the day after the static too as the static suggest O in the next 12-36 hours.
hopefully you’ve caught the egg!

Static smiley today for me, deed done. Do you guys try to DTD the day after the positive as well to be safe? Thinking I might this month, usually by O day I'm so tired I leave it at that.

Anyone else just started or about to start their TWW?

Because I dont actually test when I'm ovulating I can just go off by physical symptoms so I'm either 5 dpo or 3 but my boobs have started aching since yesterday is that normal? My boobs never hurt this early on before my period, I'm due till the 20th! I know I'm probably overthinking and getting ahead of myself but I'm extremely tired too hit me yesterday
How is everyone?

That's really interesting, thank you for sharing 💐

Hi all,
I saw this link on another thread. It shows the chances of seeing a positive line by each DPO. the chances are so low when say 6/7/8 DPO.
It's deffo helped me relax the want to test early. As the way I see it. Your not out until AF shows. But if testing early and getting BFNs it is disheartening even though you might actually be pregnant but its just to early to see xx

Yep, do you get any other signs of O? I get severe pain so not going to bother with the opks anymore. My fw starts on Wed so enjoying the relaxation now while I can 🤣 just hope O isn't delayed or we'll be exhausted 🙈 let me know how late your peak is, it might give me an indication of when mine will be too. I hope this is your month 🤞

🤞🤞 for you 😊

I’m too am hoping dtd before ovulation really does work as ovulation should be today and it’s definitely not going to be possible to dtd today.

@2021lady how many DPO are you? I think I can see a very faint line, but it's hard to tell. Fingers crossed for you though

@ttcat37 Ohh OK, that's interesting. Definitely worth me keeping an eye on then, thanks

@PumpkinTruffles I would! I was at work so didn’t get chance to test midday which, looking at my other tests that day, was probably closer to my peak. Here’s my tests around peak day. I usually peak day 12 so I was a bit pissed off thinking I wasn’t going to ovulate at all this month.

Thanks @ttcat37 that's good to know. I have absolutely loads of OPKs so might up the testing to make sure I catch it. Good luck to you!

I had a chemical last cycle. This cycle my LH stayed really low before ovulation and I had a rapid rise unlike my normal gradual. I got my peak a day or 2 later than usual. Either I didn’t catch my peak completely or it didn’t get as high as usual- it’s usually around a t/c ratio of 1 but I only caught a 0.8. I think I ovulated ok though, as my bbt has risen and stayed high so far.

@2021lady me too I think we are on the same cycle (8/9 dpo today?)

Mine was stark white, I knew I shouldn't have tested but convinced myself I felt implantation cramps a few days ago. I'm going to try and hold out until Friday now unless I get unbearable nausea which was the early symptom with my first.

I think I can maaayyybe see the start of something on yours but it's a real squinter and can tell the colour from the photo. Fingers tightly crossed for you!! Keep us updated x

So I tested today. Probably far too early but I caved...
Anyway
There's a faint line.. I think??
Can't figure out if it has colour? Have I got a dodgy batch of frer?
What do you guys think??
Maybe I'm going mad

@Babydust99 thanks... sorry about your chemical too. I think it would make sense wouldn't it? I'll just keep doing the OPKs... and DTD at every opportunity

I'm feeling ok now thanks - was deflated and a bit down about it at first, but also feel the same as you. Something worked at least, now I just need the next one to stick around 🤞🏻...It has made me determined not to test early though next time. Good luck to you!

@Babydust99 yeah I've been reading up about DTD few days before ovulation covers you so I'm hoping it was enough but we will see. I'm due 20th according to flo! Its my 8th cycle too, my longest cycle has been 30 days

I had a chemical last cycle too, I'm thinking it probably can or will affect O slightly but hopefully not too much 🤞 how are you feeling after the chemical? As much as it was disappointing, I'm a bit relieved that I know we can conceive and feel a bit more relaxed about ttc now

CD28 For me. I think 8 poss 10DPO I don't do tests/ temp etc ... but cycles can be anywhere from 28-34 (occ.... 34+) so AF could come anytime between now and Monday 15th.

Going to try and hold off testing if AF has not shown by 17th so the TWW for me is normally more like a 16day wait ... already feels like it's dragging and got over a week to wait until testing 🙈

Good luck to all. 🤞 for lots of BFPs xx

I'm pretty sure I had a chemical last cycle as had a positive test a couple of days before I was due on, then AF arrived a bit late and was heavier than normal. All my OPKs now are completely blank. Or total squinters at least. I'm in what should be my fertile window and I think usually my cycle is all pretty normal and predictable and by now I'd have quite a strong line. I'm guessing a chemical might affect ovulation...? Anyone any experience of this?
