Moving over from lurking on TTC Aug 2024, as AF just arrived yesterday. Anyone else joining?

Today's FMU. I dont think im seeing things today 🙈
It's more of a pink line in real life but doesn't show on a photo very well.

It appears my period is on its way. I had a LH surge today at 12dpo which I get a day or two before my period. I am also a grouchy bitch this evening 😂 oh well on to the next cycle

At least you can recognise your grouchiness 🤣

What did your LH tests say on the last one?

i had a similar dip when I conceived in Jan.

I am not sure as I stopped doing LH tests before the first rise. I’m just wondering if illness delayed it

Just a random question, out of interest really. Do you think it’s possible I ovulated 2 days later than Natural Cycles predicted? I did have a rise, but then a dip 2 days later and another rise? I’m just wondering as it would explain why my tests have been lighter. It would make me 12dpo today instead of 14

edited to add: I also had a UTI around these days that I needed antibiotics for, so I wonder if they made my temp artificially higher early? Or delayed ovulation a day or 2?

Hi everyone, I tested today at 14dpo and it’s definitely darker. I’m going to chalk it up to the brand of tests just showing lighter as I’ve had positives since 10dpo. Feeling better now I’ve seen the line darken a bit and had 2 positive digitals

My fellow early testers. Have I got line eyes at 8DPO or can I have a glimmer of belief while I’m waiting

I see something too

@EagerBiscuit have you taken any more tests? I can’t see it I’m afraid. How many dpo are you?

I'm not sure how many DPO. Ive had a month off using OPKs. My cycles have varied the last few months around 35-37 days. I'm cycle day 29 so I know I'm testing too early if I base it on when AF is due to arrive.
Silly of me really 🙈

Youremylobster86 · 18/09/2024 08:01

heartheart89 · 18/09/2024 07:45

@Youremylobster86 did they appear in the time frame? They look pretty pink if it is an Evap. Can you get a digi to try? Xx

Yes within 5 minutes. I'll grab another test this morning, my body does weird things so wouldn't be surprised either way 🤣

MyGardenDaisies · 18/09/2024 07:53

@heartheart89 I tested with 2 cheap strips and 1 Clear Blue digital with weeks indicator.
I ovulated on the 6th (or latest on 8th, as the CB Digital OPK shows peak for 48h) , so would have thought at this point if I was pregnant, the levels would be 10+ for the pregnancy test to pick up.

I have a few strips left so might as well test until period arrives.
I presume it’s late as I’ve had an illness this month and some stress.

heartheart89 · 18/09/2024 07:38

I would have thought they would be much stronger by now? If ovulation was that long ago? Is there any chance you've ovulated much later? X

Show quote history

This is my thought exactly, there's every possibility I ovulated later. But didn't DTD in that time frame 😫 This is why I'm thinking it may be an evap/false positive

MyGardenDaisies · 18/09/2024 07:16

completely negative this morning . :(
I am officially late on my period and these are apparently sensitive tests, so I’ll take the faint lines and smudges as evaporation or just indents.

I just want my period to start now.

see you in the October TTC chat ☹️

Test again this afternoon, my first morning wee is never as strong as my afternoon/2nd one x

Hi all 🙂 Good luck to everyone this month 🍀
hope you don't mind me joining the thread and asking for advice

My last period was 4th August (TTC for 13 months, I have PCOS and suffered with irregular periods for a while but for the last year I've had a regular 32 day cycle ovulating on cd17/18.)

I had a positive OPK on CD17 and we DTD once. AF didn't arrive and I took pregnancy tests which were all negative. We didn't DTD for another 3 weeks due to a family bereavement.

I randomly tested this morning with Internet cheapies and got 2x faint lines. Is this even possible having negative tests up until now or is likely they are evaps?

Is this a line? Got this tonight with evening wee. The Test line looks as wide as the Control line, just still very faint

I think I can see a faint line! Try again first thing in the morning if you have another test , fingers crossed

LS888 · 17/09/2024 21:59

@MyGardenDaisies looks promising. Maybe try again in the morning!

I’m definitely out now. Wishing everyone else luck for this cycle and maybe see you in the next months chat ☺️

LS888 · 17/09/2024 21:03

@Mummysparrow yes it seems like some people do conceive again quickly. Hopefully we will too. I think you do need time to process and mend - both physically and mentally. After my first mmc I wasn’t ready to try again for a few months.
