Hi, I have an app to read the ovulation strips but it's saying it low. I'm expected to ovulate today or tomorrow. It looks really dark to me.
I'll attach a photo

I caved and did a test, obviously negative but it satisfied the urge.

emmatcc1 · 27/05/2024 16:11

@Bambin0 Af is due on Sunday for me. I’m trying so hard not to test today.

@Bambin0 no symptoms or anything yet, but this is the first month I've actually felt positive & hopeful for good news. We've had 2 losses previously, we lost our first baby at Christmas due to a rare genetic condition at 20 weeks. It was the hardest time of our lives and we started trying again in March but ended up having a chemical pregnancy. We've had some genetic counselling and been told it's extremely rare we are carriers and there's a very low risk of recurrence so we are just praying for a BFP in the next few months that will lead to a happy & healthy pregnancy!🤞❤️

How many dpo are you now? Hope you are keeping okay

Aw darling I'm so sorry. Bless you both. But I am glad you are feeling positive for this cycle love. It's not easy but there is hope, there are so many great stories on these sites. They are so positive. My fingers are also crossed for you. It'll be nice to share in the journey with you. Yeah very early for symptoms, they come on so fast as well so each day can totally vary from the next :)

@emmatcc1 oh you're gonna start testing tomorrow morning then? Exciting

Yeah that's the thing, they can be so similar to AF on the way. But I'd definitely say all the symptoms so far so early on are a good sign. When is your AF due Emma?
Sorry if I've asked that before

@mountainlass Hello, I think 9dpo is a reasonable time to start testing, I’m starting on 9dpo as well. So sorry to hear about your losses.
@Bambin0 I don’t remember having this kind of cm mid tww. Even with my pregnancy I got the same cm on 14dpo that I get before af, then throughout my pregnancy it was very watery and thin. I’ve also had a 4th pregnancy dream last night in this cycle.
Still it happened before that I had so many convincing symptoms just for af to show up.

@emmatcc1 they really are, and there are so many interpretations of when ovulation may actually take place. Definitely will do temps for next month if I'm out this one.
Oh those are also really good signs, I was so thirsty the other day but just the one day.
Is the cm all very new to you?

@mountainlass hello love :) thank you for joining us. Very early days for you. But totally get the pain of waiting in limbo. Have you noticed any lil symptoms or changes?

9dpo is classed as early but I also can't help myself and would totally support you in poas so early too lol 😆

@Bambin0 and @emmatcc1 just caught up on your posts as I'm currently only 4dpo and trying to distract myself. Holding out hope for you both & praying you get your BFP's soon, both your symptoms sound promising 🤞I'm debating whether testing on Saturday at 9dpo is too early or not, will be my first time using the easy@home cheap tests!

emmatcc1 · 27/05/2024 12:39

Checked cm again and it’s still wet and stretchy like before and with a hint of yellow in it. It also dried on my underwear yellowish color, it was drying white the days before.

emmatcc1 · 27/05/2024 12:33

The tests confuse me sometimes as well that’s why I also do bbt to confirm the day of ovulation.
No cramping yet today but I feel like shit. I’ve already drank so much but I’m still so thirsty and have a weird taste in my mouth.

@Bambin0 I went back and saw you got peak on the 17th. You ovulate a day or two after peak and my best guess would be you actually ovulated on the 19th because you got peak so late in the day, making you only 8dpo like me.

Oh god that makes me feel so much better, I guess that does make sense. I'm still so new to this, it can get quite confusing lol. Okay so we really are in this together to the DATE. Haha

How are you feeling today?
Thank you for that. Feel better

I’ve just checked my cm and nstead of it being lotion like it’s wet a stretchy like ewcm but white in color or more like stringy.

Still nothing. Oh god it's so disheartening. I'm starting to maybe think I've ovulated later than I thought (holding out hope I guess too). Idk.

I just know I feel so odd. And not pms.
Also I have like 7 days before AF but I'm meant to be 10dpo? Does that add up?

@Bambin0 BBT is back up today and I had more cramping last night. I really want to test but I’m gonna wait until tomorrow.

Hang tight love, you can do it. I understand tho, it's such an anxious time. That's so so good about the CM I've been reading up a lot about it. Eeeek :) let me know if you cave. I'm just about to test. Held in my pee for ages lol

@Bambin0 It’s so faint but I see it. Fingers crossed it’s more visible tomorrow.
I decided I’m gonna start testing on 9dpo.

Let's hope, had stringy cm today which is very odd for me.

Okay good idea :) keep me posted on any new symptoms or if you cave haha

Sleep tight love

I took another cause I just couldn't resist. Peeing seems like it's a waste of it's not used on a test 😂 lol .... And it's given me a teeny weeny bit of hope, there is thee faintest line I ever did see but it's totally different to the rest. Looking forward to testing tomorrow morning. I'll attach it but you'll probably not see it. Impossible to capture lol (or line eyes who knows) -very bottom one.

Is this positive for peak ovu?

@Bambin0 I’m 7dpo now. Cramps are a very good sign.
I’m also so tempted to test but know it takes a while for the hcg to build up.
If we conceived this month my due date would be February 11th so possibly a valentine’s baby.

Omg stop mines said Feb 10th 😊 that's so bloomin cute. Okay 7dpo and cramps, a very good sign.

So I tested early cause I got the cheapies but I ain't gonna lie, seeing stark white tests are very soul destroying even tho I know I'm still in until AF shows. But I get how impatient you feel. There will be no judging here 😂 I'll be testing tonight any tomorrow at 10dpo

I had a 0.2 dip in my bbt today but was thinking surely not implantation as I didn’t have cramps but I just had the worst cramp I’m still feeling the after soreness.
How are you today?

You'd be 6dpo? Is that right? I mean they do so 6-12dpo you can have implantation. But yeah those are good signs. Sorry you're sore love, get the hot water bottles out.

I had a lot of strong cramps last night and lower back pain. But the biggest unusual thing for me is my boobs. Both bigger and sore but the left one is huge 😂 very very odd for me. Still negative but only 9dpo x

@Bambin0 8dpo is still very early.
I’m fine got some pains today and while I was cleaning the kitchen I got so nauseous for no reason. Also had a bunch of cm when I went to the toilet this morning.

Yeah it's just lil cheapy strip ones. The tww is a killer lol. Oh that's good 🙏🏼 not good feeling nauseous but still a good sign... fingers crossed 🤞🏼
