Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

Thank you for the blood test suggestions, I haven’t done this yet but did do an at-home finger stick one for hormones which came back all within normal range - we are planning to go to docs next month if this cycle and next are not successful so will def ask for a blood test in that case!

BlossomTree123 · 13/07/2023 18:05

@FatBeowulf welcome!! Would 100% request a blood test, could be something as simple as low B12. Are you taking multivitamins!! Fingers crossed you get your BFP!

@HelloMoon87 i have been having insomnia too, and not due for a week!! Hate how similar AF and Pregnancy symptoms are, makes you second guess everything doesn’t it!

@missmae im going to try holding off testing until the weekend. Puts me in such a mood not seeing a second line 😂😂

MrsP20202 · 13/07/2023 17:58

Thanks guys !! My biggest symptom was defiantly hurt burn! I only get hurt burn when pregnant so excited to see the rest of yours 😍

@FatBeowulf welcome hun! Have you gone doctors and asked for a blood test? They might give you one to see what’s going on, bare in mind tho I didn’t get my bfp until I was over 5 weeks with my son so hoping it’s your bfp reason your late!!!

@HelloMoon87 thats defiantly good signs and symptoms, all my symptoms now have disappeared which even tho it’s a strong positive last time this happened I had a miscarriage just under 10 weeks 5 years ago so I won’t be jumping for joy until I book a early scan privately like I did with my other two until I see something I can’t get excited 🤦🏻‍♀️

missmae · 13/07/2023 17:56

@MrsP20202 oh really! Ahh well I’m not getting my hopes up 😂! But that’s a BFP!!! Congratulations!! 🩷🩷

@BlossomTree123 i might hold off anymore testing until Sunday or Monday 🥺.

@HelloMoon87 nah it didn’t it looked very negative so I left it then there was that when I checked again that’s why I’m thinking maybe it’s just an evap 😭 I can’t see any colour it in myself! Lol honestly I’m so over it now. I’m a moody Margaret. How is it still 5 days till my af! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@pinkandredflowers oooo exciting there’s definitely a line there!!🤞🏼😁

Hello - please could I join? Big congrats to @MrsP20202 !!! I am ttc #1, been trying for nearly a year. AF is 6 days late and I’m feeling pretty nauseous which I’ve never experienced before, though I did a test yesterday morning that was bfn. No sign of AF at all though and she’s usually pretty regular so I’m still hopeful 🤞🏻 hoping for lots of lovely outcomes for us all

So last night I had quite a lot of cramps at night and woke up at 5 am. I also fell asleep at 10.30ish which is very early, usually about 12 as I was having insomnia. Today feeling quite tired.

This could just be AF symptoms right?

@MrsP20202 congrats !!! Amazing news!!

hoping for more of these ladies!

@pinkandredflowers i can see a line!!!!

pinkandredflowers · 13/07/2023 17:00

@MrsP20202 omg yours is so positive that's amazing congrats!!!! I have just bought some of these so will try tonight or tomorrow. Good to know on cramping. It's not painful but can defo feel them a bit.

@HelloMoon87 thanks. Not really. I thought I had loads of symptoms last month and BFN. This month I still have CM which isn't normal for this point in my cycle and my nose is blocked (but I don't know if that's a real symptom 🤣)

MrsP20202 · 13/07/2023 16:57

@cosymama2020 i was always and I mean ALWAYS extremely gassey with my pregnancies, felt really full of gas all the time 😂

@pinkandredflowers thats a line 😆 aaahhh fingers crossed it gets stronger !!!! Af cramping is perfectly normal for a early pregnancy stay positive hun!!!

so did a cb 🤗

@pinkandredflowers I can see the line! Tentative congrats!

Do you have any symptoms?

OP posts:
pinkandredflowers · 13/07/2023 16:19

Couldn't help myself did another test and can defo see a faint line again. (I've order about 20 more because I am crazy 🙃)

I'm starting to feel AF symptoms though like cramping so feeling a litttle nervous that it's not real.

Gonna go to bed early tonight and try again tomorrow!

pinkandredflowers · 13/07/2023 16:04

@missmae did this show within the timeframe? I was going to say if it did, you might want to waste one (if you have lots) and put it in tap water 😂 or just wait till tomorrow and try a different test in case you're not sure

I have heard one step is hard to get a line which is why I use easyhome, if that's true, then I would trust it.

I can see why you're not trusting it though. I'm also feeling mega negative today, and won't apologise for it! More ice cream and counting down hours until tomorrow

@MrsP20202 ooo is it? I’ve been so gassy this week as well 🫣 I don’t know, is there a way to know which side we ovulate from? I doubt it’s from the left one as I’ve got a cyst on there but you never know!

BlossomTree123 · 13/07/2023 15:39

@missmae looks like a line to me.. I have ordered the one step this morning as heard they are better than easy@home for early detection! I would do yourself a clear blue in the morning?

@Maybebaby12345 this is what I’m currently going through, so I’m taking a opk everyday this cycle to see what’s normal etc.. and already had my peak twice! Had a flashy smiley on the clear blue the last 5 days, and started doing the easy@home opk from yesterday to compare to clear blue to see if my machine is faulty, and my line is definitely getting darker (not as dark as the control yet) hoping it’s a sign!

MrsP20202 · 13/07/2023 15:38

@missmae deffo looks like a line hun!! I always use the one step tests from Amazon/eBay and I have never got an indent, I only go buy a CB or boots if a line starts to show on the one steps, I know from working in hospitals the nhs use one step tests also as they are reliable 😆🤞🏽 I’m glad my kitten made your day 😂❤️ CB is out for delivery still taking bloody ages, my daughter was watching lion king earlier and of course I cried 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@cosymama2020 gas is a good sign hun! 🤞🏽 Do you know if you ovulated on left side??

missmae · 13/07/2023 15:35

@cosymama2020 I do not believe it!😂I am saying an evap 😂🙄.
yeah I feel like I am the same tbh, my boobs do not hurt and they’re just fuller it’s really annoying me lmao. I have no appetite… I haven’t ate all day and still not hungry! No cramps or backache now for a couple of days.

Cm has returned today, slight ewcm, and also tmi, creamy. Are these good signs?! I don’t know. I’m convinced I’m out already. Really feeling negative today!😬😂

cosymama2020 · 13/07/2023 15:30

@missmae that looks like a line to me! Eeek!

I don’t know if I’m trying to look for symptoms but I’m so irritable, eating everything in sight and so tired. Im getting these random twinges on what feels like my left ovary. Might be gas though 😅

missmae · 13/07/2023 15:05

@MrsP20202 really?! I’m just not convinced. Feeling very deflated yesterday - was emotional last night and today just not in a good mood! But I’m ngl that picture of your kitten has just made my day 😂😂😂😂😂

MrsP20202 · 13/07/2023 14:55

Ignore the kitten picture bloody phone! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

MrsP20202 · 13/07/2023 14:55

@Maybebaby12345 opk will always have a faint line to be pregnant it has to be the same colour or darker to be positive :) I’ll show you my opk when I found out I was pregnant with my son

@Scarletthoping inwas actually okay it was my husband that was going out his mind as he wasn’t allowed in the hospital at all during labour due to corona all he knew was I was being rushed in for a c section for maternal sepsis then they never came back to him 🤦🏻‍♀️

@missmae that looks like a line to me! I always use one step and they have never given me an indent 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 Fingers crossed

@Maybebaby12345 see picture for opk from my pregnancy with son the test line was darker then control line :) but opks do pic up pregnancy as long as they are dark like the control line or darker
