@Sarah452 Awwh I’ve got all my fingers crossed for you it’s just not showing yet! It’s such an emotional rollercoaster isn’t it!

Sarah452 · 12/01/2024 06:17

@RW269 also did a test early this morning but only 8dpo so it was silly really! AF is one day late and is usually like clockwork (I have a v short luteal) but suspect it’s on its way sadly 😟

RW269 · 12/01/2024 04:13

Up at 4am doing a test so I don’t miss the first one of the day..bfn still :( I’m so impatient this wait is hard work 😂

MrsP20202 · 12/01/2024 03:03

@Sandwichesandwine yes it does if an opk is positive it will mean your pregnant it’s detecting hcg as it can’t tell the difference with lh or hcg this is how I found out with my son, I for some reason kept testing with opks throughout my cycle as it was the first time using them and it just kept being positive for a week I then got hubby to run to the shops after reading online and it was a very strong positive my sons nearly 2 now haha I use opks to test as it’s a cheap way to do it then going out and buying preg tests as I am a poas addict!

@PenguinOnTheMoon I'm 9dpo and didn't plan on testing until 14 dpo but of course I caved and and did one today bfn

Daisychain27 · 11/01/2024 22:38

@PenguinOnTheMoon your cycles sound identical to mine, we are trying for our first too! Hope it happens soon for us both!

PenguinOnTheMoon · 11/01/2024 21:03

Thanks everyone 🤗

I'll keep my fingers crossed. I'm only on CD24 today, and my cycle length varies from 28-35 days (average 30-32), so just trying not to get my hopes up. Only our first month trying too, and can't believe we'd get lucky on the first attempt.

Will report on result tomorrow!

siobhanmt247 · 11/01/2024 20:58

Good luck. It's always been a sign for me. That last high opk on the pic was from the day I tested for my little girl who's now 13 months :)

Sandwichesandwine · 11/01/2024 20:56

@PenguinOnTheMoon will keep everything crossed for you. Have been googling and does look like it could be a sign! X

PenguinOnTheMoon · 11/01/2024 20:54

@siobhanmt247 I'll break the frer out tomorrow eve after work....don't want the yes/no hanging over me during a big meeting tomorrow. Wasn't going to swap to the expensive tests til Sunday otherwise but still very early!

siobhanmt247 · 11/01/2024 20:50

@PenguinOnTheMoon the bottom 2 are 9 dpo. I think yours are picking up hcg. Definitely test

PenguinOnTheMoon · 11/01/2024 20:48

@siobhanmt247 so maybe my photo above isn't dark enough looking at yours. Were any of those approx 9dpo?

PenguinOnTheMoon · 11/01/2024 20:15

Photo just taken an hour later, but doesn't look different to me than it did after the few mins. Not got the app.

So update from me.... I'm somewhere around 9dpo today. BFN yesterday on a Boots early test...I knew far too early just wanted to scratch that itch... massive indent on it too.

Been exhausted all week (could be linked to COVID though I'm finally testing negative today!), tiny fleeting moments of nausea, and still having light cramping in lower stomach area at times (was a lot stronger a few days ago though).

Ordered some easy@home opks on a whim from Amazon, ready for next month, but took one this evening when they arrived and got a positive. Never tested at this stage in cycle before to know if normal or not, but did see a few people say they'd done this, looks like doesn't mean anything, so not drawing any conclusions yet. Will do a pregnancy test tomorrow I think (evening annoyingly).

Sandwichesandwine · 11/01/2024 19:59

Interesting. I might do an OPK first then if/when the time comes. Just to soften the blow (and save me wasting the one pregnancy test I have in the drawer!) Thanks, I love how useful these threads are! X

siobhanmt247 · 11/01/2024 19:17

@Sandwichesandwine i had the same theory. Didn't want to test but I was having symptons so just checked an opk test. I got very high readings, still only a faint line on a hcg test though

Sandwichesandwine · 11/01/2024 19:05

I think I'm about 8/9dpo. Hoping not to test until I'm actually late- so probably this time next week. Will see how that works out though... 😬
So will an OPK show up as positive in the same way a pregnancy test does? (Not that I need this information when I literally just said the sentence before I was going to resist testing!) X

RW269 · 11/01/2024 18:54

Same here I have no self control not to do one every morning now 🙈

MrsP20202 · 11/01/2024 18:32

Gave in didn’t I knowing full well no point of course a bfn for me just going to use my ovulation tests as I have a ton of them and if that’s positive I no to take a pregnancy test, if it doesn’t happen this month I’ll go to the clear blue ovulation tests they are expensive but seem to be better then the cheapie Amazon ones in my opinion

HolyMoly24 · 11/01/2024 17:50

9dpo today, tested this morning but with 2nd mu and it was negative. Probably just going to be testing daily until AF arrives if I'm honest 🙈
