@amichel how many DPO are you?
it looks like a good thick line too. Do you have a pink dye test to try tomorrow with FMU?

Vvv faint line on a clear blue. I'm not getting my hopes up as I've read clear blue tests are notorious for showing evap/indent line. The vvv faint line appeared within 30 seconds. I'll test again tomorrow x

@amichel yes, tested today and as expected BFN 😄 10 DPO today and still no indication in the RHR chart that anything is happening... Holding on to slim hope I might implant late, but with every day it's less likely

It's interesting about the LH result, never heard it might spike later in cycle. just googling it and it seems it may be a hopeful sign for you!

@Ncl31
That's good to know. It seems like it can happen either way.
Sorry you got a bfn! I'm hoping AF doesn't show and you get your bfp!✨

@Henski I hope you just tested too early and get your bfp next week! I could have as I stopped using OPKs after the first peak
Like you say we're not out until AF shows x

Henski · 08/09/2024 08:26

Same BFN this morning, will test again in two days if still no periods.
@amichel maybe you ovulated later than you thought, as they say you ain’t out till AF comes!

Ncl31 · 08/09/2024 07:24

@amichel in December when I got my BFP I got a huge LH surge which made me test with a HPT and it was positive.
however, some people just get a LH surge before AF.
fingers crossed for you.
i caved and tested this morning and got. BFN

LH test I took at 2am😅

I had a period end of July, a 6 day bleed the week after and it says next period is due 12/09 which would put me on CD30. CD30 seems wild to me as I'm usually bleeding by CD25. I'll have to wait until the 12th maybe for an accurate test🥴

Definitely experiencing some insomnia - it's 2am!😅
Sorry might be tmi.. The red CM after dtd stopped instantly, a little bit of brown CM yesterday. Nothing other than sticky CM for the past 16 hours. I took an ovulation test and the line was darker than what I was expecting. I'm not sure if LH rises before AF comes?
I took a test earlier and it was a bfn.
Last 3 cycles have been 23-26 days and now I'm on CD27 so who knows.

@Happibara Have you started testing? Sorry I've forgotten how many dpo you are now.

@Henski @Ncl31 Good luck to you both testing tomorrow!x

Ncl31 · 07/09/2024 16:59

@amichel i say I’m going to resist. But I know I usually get to 10DPO (which is tomorrow) and start testing! Haha

Henski · 06/09/2024 22:29

@amichel @Figtree11 Ahhh fingers crossed for the next cycle !
My app says periods are due tomorrow but that would only be 11 DPO, if nothing comes tomorrow might test Sunday morning.

Happibara · 06/09/2024 22:02

@amichel @Figtree11 I'm sorry... Welcome to the new cycle though! Baby dust and lots of strength for both of you.

I always feel much better on CD1, after all the useless fretting and testing.

In fact, already planning what I can do to improve my chances next month. I have next to zero hope for this one. Will it stop me testing and obsessing? of course not 😩

Figtree11 · 06/09/2024 21:20

I’m sorry @amichel Same here, been spotting all day with tummy ache

@Henski
Think AF may have caught me. Stringy blood after dtd tonight. Also had some spots on my face which always appears before AF and some cramping.

Ncl31 · 05/09/2024 17:57

Managed to resist testing so far. 7DPO, going to try and hold out for 12DPO

Figtree11 · 05/09/2024 15:58

If I did actually ovulate I would be either 9dpo or 11dpo. Did a test yesterday & it was negative. No symptoms apart from feeling bloated, but I get that in the afternoons anyway sometimes!

Henski · 05/09/2024 15:38

@Happibara They are still elevated 9DPO today, same I feel like this month was a trial run, just glad I ovulated !

Happibara · 05/09/2024 14:27

@Henski I'm doing my best not to, every morning telling myself that there's no chance it could show anything yet!
To be honest, I haven't had any symptoms that could indicate we got lucky this month, my RHR keeping absolutely steady and the chart is almost level... trying to console myself it's only 7 DPO today.

How are your temps, still elevated?

Henski · 05/09/2024 12:34

Hi Ladies,
How’s everyone doing anyone caved and tested yet ?

Henski · 03/09/2024 10:15

@amichel I don’t really symptom spot (don’t know the difference tbh), all my pms symptoms were still there when I got my bfp, the day I tested positive I actually had my usual painful period cramps and thought my period was on it way! Progesterone is defo high, had a nice shiny face by the evening yesterday and now have lovely red spot on both sides of my cheeks.

@Henski
I'm really trying to keep my mind busy this week but it's really difficult! I had slight cramping this morning, but I don't want to get carried away with myself as I've had cramps before around this time.
Hopefully we'll get our bfps this time next week.
Have you been experiencing any signs/symptoms?x
