Testing June 2024

I would like to join please. I had a CP on 7/5/24 and today is CD19 for me. I had 3 LH rises and my BBT elevated for the first 2 weeks. Currently it is around the baseline. I was informed by CB monitor that there was a rise in Estrogen on CD17.
I don't know if I will ovulate. I normally have a 31-34 day cycle which means I will start testing on 6/6/24. Will keep testing for LH peak. If I don't get pregnant, I would be happy to have AF on 6/6/24 because that means my next cycle will be a normal one.
Good luck to all of you!

@Fandangodiggers The lines aren’t too faint, you’re only 10dpo some don’t even get a positive yet at this point. Have you done another test today?

Morning all, I’m a little bit ahead on my cycle than you, I’m currently 12dpo. We only managed BD once after my OPK+ so figured I was probably out. We were kind of taking a TTC break as it’s been a long road. We had 15 mc’s (most before 6 weeks) before carrying my 3 year old DS to term, I have a number of gynae and hormone things going on so we were lucky to have one healthy baby honestly.

That said, this has happened. I think they’re too light for 10dpo when they were taken and I’m preparing myself for a chemical/ early MC. Any positive stories about faint lines and healthy pregnancies would be very much appreciated.

@cherrybl0ssom5 Hello, I’m also 6dpo and af due on the 2nd.

Welcome @Currentlykittymom and @cherrybl0ssom5!

I'm currently 7DPO too @cherrybl0ssom5 and AF is due 31st May. If I'm late, I'll be testing 1st June. How are you doing, any symptoms?

I have the same issue now @Currentlykittymom, which is why I've had to stick to OPKs and Temping this month and discard any predictions from Premom, Clue and Flo. How long have you been using them? They all calculate based on slightly different algorithms, particularly Premom as it will use input BBT and LH tests to predict. They're useless for me at the moment as I've had two losses on the bounce and haven't had a regular cycle since December. Before that, they were bang on, so I think they're only useful if they have a few months of average cycle tracking and your cycle is also average.

As for me, I'm pretty crampy today and still spotting. It's been three days now. Pretty sure I must be low on progesterone, so not expecting a BFP. At this rate, I'll just be glad for AF showing up between CD27 - CD30.

Hi ladies, hope it’s okay if I join! according to the Flo app i’m currently 6/7 dpo & AF is due June 2nd

Second month TTC #1, last month I just used the clear blu digital test and this month I’ve got the easy@home strips to test LH. My question is I have 3 different apps ( a free one I’ve used for a few years to track AF, Flo and the one for the strips) and they all have different OD results… I mean I know I’m testing but why are they all different with the same information? I’d assume at least 2 were the same…

Yeah, it's so strange how different things can be each time @emmatcc1. Hopefully these are good signs for you.

Haha @CTak, I say 5DPO but that's only what FF says, for all I know the spotting I've had today could be late ovulation, though it's never happened to me before. The time will pass soon enough. I've had two losses now and tested positive until 8 weeks after my D&C, so I feel completely desensitised to pregnancy tests now. I don't know what it would take to make me feel excited to be honest. I'm just a ball of anxiety now 😆

It's making me laugh that I'm feeling intensely jealous of you @narwhalsarereal & @KittyFantastica for being at 5dpo rather than 3dpo and closer to potentially getting a BFP.

TTC is a wild ride.

@KittyFantastica No spotting here, I also had sharp pains on the left side earlier. I experienced both of these pains in my pregnancy but they started the morning of 7dpo when I had cramps along with implantation bleeding.

FF puts me supposedly at 5DPO too and I'm due on Friday as well @narwhalsarereal. Looks like we will be testing on the same day. My last two pregnancies, I felt weird and tested long before AF was due, but I'm going to leave it this time. We decided we are technically not trying this month so it will be completely down to chance anyway. I also had weird heavy feeling and also a bit of pain down there when I was walking to the gym yesterday. It's never happened before and wasn't a sharp pain, just like a dull, heavy feeling.

But no spotting or anything @emmatcc1? I had a dull cramp after I discovered the spotting, but nothing else since. Could have been psychosomatic from seeing the blood.

@KittyFantastica I'm 5dpo with pretty strong af cramps today that come and go, along with a heavy feeling in my vagina.

I'll be testing next Saturday 😬 unless af appears on Friday

@KittyFantastica I had 2 cramps that lasted about a minute each and they felt just like while on period, intense tight pain all over my uterus.

It could be @spamOFtheDAY and @emmatcc1, true. It doesn't look it from the app, but I did test 3 x day on the days I usually ovulate and none of them were positive. I've missed peak before when tracking though and still got pregnant, so time will tell. I'd like to think I ovulated day 13, but my temps don't seem to think so. Sod's Law, my actual temping thermometer arrived this afternoon.

I work in medical publishing, including some obs and gynae journals, and am a bit sceptical about implantation bleeding, but it would be amazing if it is! Very unusual for me anyway.

What are your cramps like @emmatcc1? Sharp or dull? I had a really dull period-like pain today that was weird. I didn't have any symptoms at all and didn't even bother symptom spotting in either of my previous pregnancies.

@KittyFantastica You might have missed your peak right when you switched the brand of tests. The cd13 test look good I’ve had my LH jump from 0.4 to 1 in the same test and would have missed it if I hadn’t tested twice.
I’m 4dpo and having pretty strong cramps not sure what is causing that as I never have cramps in my tww.

FF has decided, tentatively, that I might have ovulated five days ago now. No idea if it's accurate, but I'm on day 20 on my cycle and have had some mild period-like pains and some bright red blood when I wiped today. There was a tiny bit yesterday too. I've never, ever bled mid-cycle before, so my hormones must still be out of whack from the MC. It might even be my period coming 8 days early. Who even knows at this point? I feel like I'm just along for the ride now 😆

I've popped my OPKs (no peak found this month) and chart (tentative peak found) below for anyone interested.

3 DPO today. I'm going to continue tracking my LH with OPKs this month, haven't done that before.

Will try and not test till 10DPO, which at the moment I feel quite chilled about. Current mindset is very what-will-be-will-be.

How is everyone else?

Oh that might we why then...

@MisssMarion CB also detects estrogen along side of LH and keeps all the information in the device.

@MisssMarion I started testing CD8 with the clear blue advanced digital ovulation tests. I got 2 days of blank circles (low fertility), followed by 6 days of flashing smileys!!! I was starting to worry I wouldn't get a solid smiley and see my peak but got it today on CD16 yay. I'd say cycle day 8 is best to wait till so you don't feel it's dragging on. I get so impatient waiting for my peak and convince myself it won't happen but I just need to be patient :)

@MisssMarion I’ve ovulated earliest at cd11 and I start opks on cd8.

When in your cycle do you all start OPK? I'm on CD6 and so eager but I don't know if I'm gaining anything on starting early.
(And on that note I've just found out I shouldn't use FMU for OPK, I feel stupid... 😂 but to be fair I also use the clearblue fertility monitor which asks for FMU...)

Thank you @spamOFtheDAY ❤️ So sorry to hear about your MMC in January, these past few months must have been really difficult for you too. It's hard to keep hopeful & positive after experiencing loss but I think after all the pain something good needs to come of it for us both. Thinking of you 🤞
