Hi all I'm after a bit of advice.. I tested for ovulation yesterday and got a peak on fermometer digital OPK ( ++) . However got a low result on CB digital OPK (circle) so I assumed the CB test isnt sensitive enough..

We had guests round all day and managed to DTD just after midnight last night.

I tested again this morning and got a low result on Femometer now as well.. :-(

Today is showing as ovulation day according to the App and had a BBT dip this morning..

Can somebody advise if I have a chance in TTC this month or have I missed my window.

I've attached some images FYI.

Thank you

ah yeah @Optimistic66 I agree. Now I know I have anovulatory cycles it does make me feel a bit down. Not knowing whether trying is pointless that month. I think that’s why I’m just putting ttc on the back burner. Still hopeful I’ll get a positive when I least expect it.

Its so frustrating isnt it? I find TTC so all consuming - i wish my brain could switch off - but I am an all or nothing person.

I think if I EVER get my next period - i will give in a couple months of BBT etc and then i think im going switch off too mentally.

How long between cycles if you are not ovulating? it such a trickery from our bodies isnt it. How long are your cycles?

@fleur89 congratulations, I am so happy for you! What brilliant line progression as well Flowers

So my husband semi broken penis - only has a sprain apparently... it now working.... I wish it was a more exciting/interesting story but he obviously got carried away and it slipped out PAINFULLY.

I'm on CD40 - and no ovulation, no period and no pregnancy... (i've checked) - Its so frustrating waiting for the next cycle to start with no idea when. I've not had a cycle this long for almost ever...

Anovulatory cycles are the worst. I genuinely think worse than cycles where you can atleast try.

Thank you so much everyone! Just got a 2-3 weeks and strong lines this morning so feeling somewhat reassured.

6dpo I had spotting so tested, I held it at all angles but didn't see anything. 7dpo I wasn't sure if I saw something or not. 8dpo morning I had a definite squinted and 8dpo night it was stronger but still super faint. 9dpo it was a definite faint line (that my husband could actually believe 😂). 10dpo I took a digital and got 1-2 weeks. This morning at 15dpo my line looked strong so I took another digital and got 2-3 weeks

Congratulations @fleur89 that looks so strong! xx

@fleur89 Oh my goodness Congratulations <3

Goldie1234 · 25/07/2023 07:01

@HavinKittens you're so right the not tracking will help the not testing ! It does become so all consuming. I've started up the lh tests and already having strange dreams about pregnancy...

Goldie1234 · 25/07/2023 06:57

Congratulations @fleur89 ! Great pic as well haha did you notice a line before 8dpo ?! Hope you're feeling alright !

Good morning ladies!

6dpo and tested this morning with SMU (it's stronger than FMU for me) - BFN of course. Only tested as hosting a bbq today and wondering whether to drink. Think I'll steer clear just in case as just experienced some light spotting. Praying it's implantation bleeding rather than just random hormonal spotting. Wait and see I guess... I hate waiting...!

Update on this and seems the spotting was indeed implantation. I'm now 14dpo and my progression is attached.

Feel very lucky to have conceived first cycle following the MMC and RPOC issues. Hoping this is a rainbow sibling for DD1.

Morning everyone… sorry to hear a few of you are having a rubbish time of it at the moment 😞

@Vic231 feeling for you with your dog, pets really are part of the family, hope she/he makes a good recovery.

definitely good to know about those Boots tests, I thought they were the new holy grail of tests!

CD9 for me, period finished a few days ago. I’m stressing (probably unduly) that my OPKs are still negative, last month I had high fertility on the Clearblue from CD8. Every cycle is different though I suppose. You’re probably doing the right thing by not tracking @HavinKittens x

Vic231 · 24/07/2023 10:48

Hi everyone, I'm back from my last minute trip to Amsterdam and we had a wonderful time, however whilst we were away we found out our gorgeous dog has a Sarcoma that needs operating on tomorrow 😭and then I got struck down with D&V the day after we got home, so spent the whole weekend feeling rotten, which then sent me into a panic in case I was pregnant, for then AF to appear this morning.

So, I'm feeling pretty flat today. Grumpy and emotional. I'm hoping optomistic me will be back tomorrow but at the moment it feels like time is running away and the months are rushing by when I (like all of us!) just want to be pregnant x

HavinKittens · 24/07/2023 09:20

Oh yeah I had trusted those tests not to have evaps. Good to know. Sorry you had a BFN this am but still early right?

I’m hoping if I don’t track when I’ve ovulated this month, it’ll make it easier to resist testing until period is missed.

PollyDarton1 · 24/07/2023 07:38

Did a Boots test in the evening last night as was having some strong symptoms, the light was bad so just left it and came back this morning and there is a very faint line.

Just a word of warning more than anything - I know we shouldn't check past the testing window but usually on Boots tests if nothing is showing up, if never shows up.

I've done another Boots test this morning with a 4 hour hold and it's BFN.

Come wait with me - July onwards
HavinKittens · 23/07/2023 11:29

I am not tracking at all this cycle. Going to leave things up to fate until next year now I think.

PollyDarton1 · 23/07/2023 10:11

Fingers crossed DP will be OK but thank you for all the comments.

8 DPO and BFN on easy@home. Pretty sure I wouldn't have conceived anyway this cycle, although we DTD the day before I ovulated so possible. I don't have as many symptoms as I do premenstrual which is bizarre!

GinAndBearIt90 · 23/07/2023 08:15

After planning to wait until next month to start and also planning to sway for a girl this time, DH and I went against the plan and DTD unprotected on ovulation day 🙈🙈 so there's a tiny chance this cycle after all! 2DPO today

Hope everyone is having a good weekend 😊
