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.

@pinkandredflowers eeeek! Hopefully good signs for us both!! Ah can deffo see the line omg! Hopefully tomorrow the line will be even darker !🥹🤞🏼🩷

pinkandredflowers · 14/07/2023 19:01

Yesss I did. Mine had a tiiiny line but a proper squinter and looked more like an evap tbh. I've ordered the boots early detect ones as I've heard they are very good so will use that tomorrow!

Tes004 · 14/07/2023 18:59

@pinkandredflowers did you use the Amazon fr ?? What was the result, I’m hoping I have ordered a bad rip off and that’s to blame for my bfn ,,, hanging onto hope lol

pinkandredflowers · 14/07/2023 18:52

@missmae tired and headaches here too!!

Sorry sorry pic is here!

The clear blue from Amazon came in a proper clearblue package for me and seem legit!

@Tes004 yeah they’re not first response… this is why I’m doubtful with the tests I buy from Amazon. I’m sure everything is cheaper on there because they’re a faulty batch or just not the real thing!

@pinkandredflowers your pic didn’t upload! Aw bless you I’m sorry for your missed miscarriage. Pregnancy is definitely nothing but anxiety and constant worrying I feel. Hopefully the cramps are just everything settling in. I had cramps for up to a week after my bfp! And I totally understand you. I’ve had hg with previous pregnancies so yes definitely not looking forward to that but I’m ready for it 😂x

So today, EXTREME fatigue. I’m just so tired I feel like I can’t function properly lol, another early night I think. Headache all day as well!

pinkandredflowers · 14/07/2023 18:47

@BlossomTree123 what did your opk look like when you thought you were ovulating? Maybe you are ovulating v late this cycle? When I had my daughter I thought I would ov on CD15 but then got positive OPKs on CD24! Dtd then and got my bfp 10 days later so defo did ovulate very late that cycle!

missmae · 14/07/2023 18:44

@HelloMoon87 yes this is true, I was thinking that! And yeah I was wondering if it was hard with one step 🤔I will do another before bed tonight …🤭

pinkandredflowers · 14/07/2023 18:43

@missmae I think I'm 11 DPO today due AF on Monday x yes here is the clearblue test it's definitely bluer in real life but still faint.

Feeling a little nervous today, have a lot of tightening/mild cramps and had a missed miscarriage previously so i find pregnancy quite scary 🙈 but then I'm also scared that if everything is fine, how sick I'm gonna get as was pretty bad last pregnancy. Hopefully everything will be ok!

@Tes004 omg I had that exact test when I ordered frers they definitely aren't the early ones x

Tes004 · 14/07/2023 18:35

I think I have been scammed !! Pretty sure these are not first response even though they arrived in a first response box

@missmae @pinkandredflowers all looks good. Please don't panic if faint because you might be a day or two off ovulation, hopefully it gets stronger and stronger! One step is harder to get a line I feel, so maybe try another @missmae?

@BlossomTree123 I think I know what's happening.

The two opks you put are the same, one is not strong, because the control are different.

The digital one, you're not supposed to continue using it in the same cycle, after you get positive (smiley face), you're supposed to stop until next fertile period. If I understood instructions. You're potentially getting multiple smileys because the digital looks at how your hormone is changing, not the actual levels.

So I'd say you're more likely to be pregnant than ovulating. I'd do a pregnancy early test on Sunday, then if negative wait for AF.

@pinkandredflowers ooo how many dpo are you?! Your test today is a good line!! 😁😁do you have pics of your other tests? Yes maybe I should. I will do another one of these tomorrow morning at 12dpo and see what it’s like then go from there… 🤞🏼

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 16:37

@pinkandredflowers yes and negative.

I think I may just be coming on, as looking at flo it’s saying I’m due on Thursday meaning my cycle would have been 31 days, when normally I’m only every normally 28/29 day cycle, therefore I think it may be detecting AF hormone, as I feel like I’m going to come one, I reckon I’ll be on by Sunday.

not going to bother testing anymore and just try again next cycle.

pinkandredflowers · 14/07/2023 16:31

@BlossomTree123 have you tried a pregnancy test? I hear you can get positive ov tests if you are pregnant too? 🤞🤞🤞

pinkandredflowers · 14/07/2023 16:30

@missmae I see them!!! They look really similar to mine. Here are my cheapy tests top was yday and bottom this morning. Still faint but defo getting darker.

I also have lines (faint but clearly there) on clear blue and FRRR now so maybe try a brand one and see?

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 16:00

@missmae first month using them but I have regular cycles which is very weird!
I can see something!!!! So exciting!

@Boobag this is my concern, however according to flo not due on for 6 days. So a bit weird!! I do feel like I’m going to come on though! You know that feeling!!

missmae · 14/07/2023 15:55

@Tes004 same I’m hoping they’re just not nasty little false positives!! I’m 11dpo today. Will deffo test tomorrow morning 😂 have you tested ?! X

@BlossomTree123 I see! yeah maybe you’re having another hormone surge?! If in doubt dtd but I don’t think it’s ovulation! X

Boobag · 14/07/2023 15:51

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 15:25

@missmae i thought you would!! As I’ve just done a one step and there’s no line! So yours has got to be positive!!

i was worried about my CB ovulation machine being faulty with the continues flashy smileys, so I bought another and it has come so I’ve just done a OPK test on both to see if they come the same. And the new one says negative and the old one says peak fertility. So has my old one been wrong all along and I’ve missed when I was ovulating or is my new one wrong 😂😂!
i have no clue!!

Last month I got peak smiley after 7 flashes and then period came and was light same day, I read online you can have another peak when AF due, but that was my first month using the cb double hormone opk and only my 2nd real period since coming off the pill. Fingers crossed it means ovulation got you! X

Tes004 · 14/07/2023 15:49

@missmae I see something there 👀 when are you testing next ? Your 12dpo today ? X

missmae · 14/07/2023 15:47

@BlossomTree123 has this happened to you before in previous cycles? How strange, maybe to do with implantation? Or another hormone surge but not ovulation… 🤔

missmae · 14/07/2023 15:46

@Tes004 windowsill one is this mornings and the one I’m holding is the one I did at 3pm!

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 15:43

@Tes004 my mind is so confused! Think I’m going to treat it as if I was just incase and then see how we go. It’s mental!!!

@missmae yes ordered off Amazon! Yes I had a peak result one after the other and had cramps and discharge. But I had a peak ready before that like 3 days before but looking at the lines I don’t think it could have been. So I think I ovulated between 3-6th maybe… but I’m well confused. The lines are getting darker. Makes no sense.

missmae · 14/07/2023 15:40

@BlossomTree123 did you order off Amazon too? Okay your opks are very confusing… when you thought you ovulated did you have any other symptoms? Are your cycles regular? I don’t think you’re ovulating again… i’m not sure what’s going on here 😬🤔
