I did a beta hcg blood test and it was 400 so now I can rest assured. 😀

Can anyone help I’m 12dpo and negative test am I out af due tomorrow or Sunday been having different symptoms tired leg aches extra saliva cm and boobs hurt like never before so these are unusual for me am I out

@LetstalkaboutBruno mine are neg too so we’re in the same boat. On to next month!

@ceruleansky oh wow!!! Fantastic news for you, so pleased!!

Negative this morning for me 👎🏼. I kinda expected as much but with a little hope sprinkled on top.

Congratulations @ceruleansky and @Elg90!

@LetstalkaboutBruno I'm afraid those do look negative atm. But hopefully things change

Aw @ceruleansky this is amazing. I know how you feel - I have taken 5 tests, 3 different brands and am still unsure haha. Congratulations though, that’s defos positive tests!

Ahhh @ceruleansky I’m so pleased for you!!

AF is two days late.
I still can't believe it??? Somehow I can't believe it unless I hear the doctor confirm it!

Why are two of them so faint.. 🤔

Hi, I am hoping to join, I am suspected 10/11DP although not confirmed as I have irregular cycles and don't temp. I am CD 54 (PCOS). I never have natural cycles and have had many transfers from IVF which have sadly ended with a MC or CP.

I did a test at lunchtime today suspecting it to be negative and to my surprise I thought something was catching my eye. I then left it for a little whilst on an online call for work and caught a glimpse of the line again. I retook a photo (pic 2, white background) and the line that I thought I could see was much more obvious. Now, I’m aware that the second pic is way out of the time limit to check the test but… I’m not sure if it’s just more obvious or if it’s an evap. It’s full thickness and not a slim line but I can’t work out colour as it’s too light.

Any thoughts?

Joining :) finally got my positive after 9 months ttc following a mmc

I might start using those instead, saves any confusion! 😂

@Blueberry1990 congratulations! 🥳

@Optimistic2021 Ahh I see! I only used the cheap strip ones so I was peeing on them through the day! 😂
I’d say if you’re unsure, be cautious, treat it as positive and it won’t do any harm!

The instructions say not to test again after getting a smiley face so maybe I just need to hope for the best and assume it's right 😅

Well, it was my first month using OPKS and whatnot, so I can't be 100% certain.

AF is due today, and she hasn't arrived yet.

I did a FRER, and that was negative, and i have period cramps, so I think I'm out. I'll never use the CB again! 7 intotal that gave me positives, and they definitely weren't evaps. They came up in the time frame. How are they allowed to sell them!

How are you getting on xx

Just got mt BFP on a clearblue digital at 10dpo 🎉🎉 first full month of trying and using OPKs and I have PCOS with cycles ranging from 30-70 days

@TrishyLou1111 are you 100% sure on your ovulation dates? I had something similar, kept testing and got stronger and stronger lines so definitely pregnant, but realised the progression was maybe more consistent with conceiving the second time we dtd that week i.e. 3 days later than I thought (I didn't do opks so was estimating based on period dates)

I think this could be right! Sometimes my OPKs would be different depending on the time of day as well. Maybe test again this morning to confirm?

Hello, I wonder if anyone could help!
I posted a while ago when I was CD2 and have since been reading.

I am now CD 25 and 9 DPO.

I tested this morning (after being so sure I could be patient and wait for my missed period!)

Ive never taken a test for as this is cycle 1…but is this two lines…? It’s just a cheap one from Superdrug which says I can test 4 days before my missed period which is today/tomorrow.

I can’t decide if it’s just making it up!

thank you!

Hi,

Can anyone help? I'm using the pink clearblue ovulation sticks and normally do it first thing in the morning. Was running around getting DC ready and forgot to check it and when I then looked it had gone off so took the test strip out and a blank circle showed up so assuming it was blank.

Decided to test this afternoon and a smiley face came up so now I'm wondering if I'm about to ovulate or if I'm mucked it up testing twice in one day? The control line on the stick looked quite strong this morning which I thought was weird as flo days ovulation tomorrow and I'm normally a couple of days after that and then the control line this afternoon is strong and looks the same as it normally does when I get my peak.

Is it likely that the test is right and I'm about to ovulate (earlier than normal) or have I mucked it up? 😂

Hello,
can anyone help me. I’m on cycle day 21 today. I had a positive opk on 17th November, really clear ovulation pains and my BBT confirmed I ovulated. My temp has been up for the past 3 days and then this morning it went back down below cover line. I decided to do another opk today as the temp dip seemed unusual for me and I have another positive opk.
does anyone know what might be going on?

If you had faint lines it could be that you had a chemical pregnancy. I'm on my 18th cycle trying to conceive my first now but doctors are being useless to me since I've had two miscarriages and an ectopic. I knew it would take a while for me as I was diagnosed with PCOS and Endometriosis when I was 16

Don't give up hope at all it's not likely at all you're unable to have kids. It'll happen one day :) if nothings happened by January go back to the doctors and they should be able to help with some medication
