I'm just being nosey 🤷

If you have photos of your OPKs from negative to positive share away! I find it super fascinating that some have a really clear progression and some are stark negative all the way until blazing positive.

I'm definitely one of those who always have a pretty clear line and then all of a sudden it's positive.

@ThelastRolo20 that's fantastic congratulations! Thanks for your advice I think you're probably right.

ThelastRolo20 · 03/09/2023 19:46

Hi @GHJ I did get my positive this month :) I never did BBT but I know there's a danger of the results skewing for various reasons, given what you've said and the premom app I'd guess that you haven't ovulated yet. Start testing twice a day - mine was a rapid peak and decline and you don't want to miss it! X

Hi ladies just wondering if any of you got your bfps this cycle? Hope so! And if anyone could please give me some advice. It's my first cycle using opks. Last cycle was over 9 weeks long so hoping this one will be more normal. Used a couple of different brands but this is what I've had so far. Premom now telling me based on my bbt that I ovulated two days ago which would be cd9! I think this is super unlikely, I've not had a cycle shorter than 29 days since stopping pill but super confused. Please advise!

@HopefullMumto4 Oh that’s a nice way to think of it, thanks for the reassurance, I’ll check again tonight and see what it’s up to. It’s hilarious…. My partner keeps asking how our eggs doing 😂

Mine took about three days to come down! I like to think it was just a really large egg 🤣🤣🤣

@ThelastRolo20 I know! Is it a good or bad thing it’s taking time to come down?!? It’s all so new! Haha thanks I’m feeling ok just now, no idea if I will manage to hold off testing once I know there’s a chance I could see something.

i know! I have been seeing there really hard to get hold of just now. Aww hopfully you can stay strong of you have your mind set to not test until Saturday!! X

ThelastRolo20 · 16/08/2023 10:50

Hey @Ecj92 good to hear from you. Wow yours hasn't come down yet but probably just a steady decline. Welcome to the TWW! I was very tempted to test today but didn't have any cheapies available and I didn't want to "waste" a first response. Definitely going to try and hold out until Saturday

Ecj92 · 15/08/2023 21:24

@HopefullMumto4 @ThelastRolo20 Hey! Glad you’re both getting on good! Not long until you can both test! Im officially 1dpo…. Or so I think, tonight’s opk should have been coming down but it’s went back up. Telling myself I can hold out until my period is due to test….. however I managed to work out tonight testing at 8dpo would be a week today, I feel if it was to be negative testing daily would be so difficult.

No changes at all but I didn't with my first pregnancy either so I'm not actually expecting any. Not sure if it makes it easier or not!

What baby number is this for you?

@HopefullMumto4 AF would normally come 14 DPO so I'll be testing Saturday, with AF due Monday. May try and hold out until Monday but I doubt that'll happen so trying to be realistic about my will power 😂 so you'll be testing Thursday??

Ah honestly you are amazing! Have you noticed any changes at all this cycle?

Yep Thursday 😬

I have never ever had any symptoms with any of my pregnancies so I never symptom watched, but two days in a row now I've gotten nauseated and then vommited then feel absolutely fine after 😭. I am usually the first person to say you can't possibly have symptoms this early but the little idea of it being pregnancy related won't leave me alone. I never even had morning sickness with any of them!

@HopefullMumto4 still aiming for the 8DPO? not long now! AHH! Yes I am but today I was like.... I could test in a couple days. But then if it's negative I'll tell myself it's too early, whereas 12DPO I'll know for sure. Trying to distract myself so I don't think about it!

Well, ideally at least 9dpo, but Im being realistic 🤣

How long is your LP normally? Does 12dpo mean AF is due / late?

OPKs definitely take the edge off the need to test when TTC haha. That's looking great

@HopefullMumto4 @ThelastRolo20 Well if I get this excited with an OPK who knows what I would be like with a BFP I think I May heave reached my peak.

@ThelastRolo20 I agree, I hope I can stay that way, when we weren’t tracking ovulation i never rested unless my period was a day late… then it always turned up. I have it’s nearly doubled! Will do another in a few hours, I think my other half has had enough of me showing him the lines and explaining the process 😂

@Ecj92 I know but I find if I test closer to my period and it's negative then my next cycle/ chance to try isn't too far away :)

Have you tested again? X

That's such a good way to look at it! I mean, I'll never be that healthy 🤣 but it's a really good attitude.

@ThelastRolo20 Wow that is serious will power!

ThelastRolo20 · 12/08/2023 13:35

@Ecj92 all you can do is keep testing! Hopefully the peak comes soon :)

I'm okay! Roughly 5 DPO - going to try until at least 12 DPO before testing! Going to be a long week haha
