Anyone just started their dreaded 2WW ? 👀👋🏼

@Lh4503 @WF1990 thanks both, no doubt I’ll be sending pics of the strips in to ask you again when the time comes 🤣 do you have to use FMU or can it be anytime?

@DaisyKG I think that looks like a positive too! Keep us updated ☺️

@DaisyKG Yes totally agree looks positive to me too 🙂 keep us updated when you do your FRER 🤞

Hi girls - does anyone have much experience with evaporation lines? I could have sworn the test was negative after the 3 minutes, so I put it to one side. When I came back 40 mins later there was a faint line. From my research, evap lines are normally thinner/streaky and. Or a solid line but aware I should disregard this. I am 10DPO today. I have some FRER on order but was interested to know if anyone had any experience?

@EllieWales so each day the strip should get darker and darker and the last dark one before it lightens is your peak. Here's one of mine the very dark one was CD17 so that was my peak. I believe you ovulate within 12 hours of peak? Is that right @WF1990

@Lh4503@WF1990 I track my period with Garmin app and I just shifted suspected ovulation forward one day and it’s now predicting my period will start on Saturday 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have no idea how the LH strips work do they peak when ovulation peaks and then drop off after?

Honestly chat GPT organises my life (and does some of my work) I sound like a nutter on it too dw @WF1990 🤣

@EllieWales maybe you did ovulate a bit later then and AF is due in the next week. I definitely thing LH tests will help next month as you can see a clear peak and drop so it helps pinpoint when its happened so takes the guessing out of it.

Yeah im ok still got diarrhea and nausea and just exhausted. Fingers crossed it doesn't affect anything and goes away soon.

Well girls we are definitely are all one the same page with chat GPT 🤣 love it!

@WF1990 oh gosh you are having a confusing cycle! When do you usually ovulate? Will you start LH tracking soon?

@WF1990CD6 is early for EWCM, are you using LH strips? Our bodies are really making this hard work for us!

I’m contemplating doing another test with a FRER tomorrow morning if nothing by then but I’m 99% sure it will be negative and I really don’t want to waste them

@Lh4503 I thought she was due Monday, maybe Tuesday at the latest but I don’t really know anymore. BBT and RHR are still elevated and CM is still abundant and sticky (sorry tmi!) so now I’m wondering if maybe I ovulated later and AF isn’t really late. I think we only DTD once that week so if I did ovulate later I don’t think there’s much of a chance I’m pregnant anyway. I’ve always had a regular 28 day cycle but last months cycle was 31 days which has thrown me off a bit. Today is only CD26 so the later ovulation theory is plausible!

Are you feeling any better today? Keeping my fingers crossed it doesn’t interfere with ovulation. There’s nothing worse!

I use chat GPT to help with tracking everything 😂 I would die if anyone hacked it 🤣

Awww @EllieWales when was AF due? Are you usually on time?

Im hoping ill be better by the time I ovulate or this month will be a washout too 🤣

On another note, I've been using chat GPT to give me some positivity when im feeling deflated about TTC and it's actually really good. So if your having a rubbish day and need a pick me up I definitely recommend.

@WF1990 I missed your post about your results, frustrating that they’re now saying it’s low when originally they said it was fine. At least it’s been picked up and can be sorted with medication. Has the consultant mentioned how successful taking progesterone is and how long it will take to work etc? I don’t know much about it tbh but keeping everything crossed for you one way or another

Still no AF….

@EllieWales Thank you, it's OK. Definitely worth a try especially if your not clear with when exactly your ovulate.

@WF1990 aww no they told you it was ok at first didn't they? At least they have now picked it up, hopefully they sort you out with medication if needed and it works 🙂

@Lh4503 sorry about the pregnancy you lost, it’s awful. Hoping you get some answers 🤞 glad the LH strips have helped, my luteal phase seems to fluctuate in length recently which has me thinking I’m miscalculating ovulation. I was so sure of it this month because CM, BBT and RHR all aligned at CD11 but looking back at the BBT data I could’ve ovulated later so I don’t really know!

@EllieWales Yes definitely I just want peace of mind now, this will be my 8th cycle. I did get pregnant on cycle 5 but it didn't last so that's also making me want to get checked.

I definitely recommend LH strips I assumed i was getting a peak on day 14 as I had CM but actually it's around day 17/18 every month so it's really helped.
I've just started tracking BBT so hoping that can confirm if my progesterone is OK.

@Lh4503 that’s good about the Dr’s appt, one of my friends has been pretty poorly dismissed by doctors so insist on a blood test if you can, even for your own peace of mind. How many cycles in are you now? Sorry if it’s in the chat somewhere I can’t be bothered to go through and read it all again 😅

Still no AF for me but it’s probably not the worst thing as the longer this goes on the more chance of next ovulation falling after we come back from holidays which will give us more of a chance to DTD. I’ve bought LH strips to try this month as well as I’m starting to wonder if I’m incorrectly predicting ovulation timing based on BBT and RHR

@WF1990 Thank you ❤️ I dont understand why your test yesterday looked positive and then BFN today, what is going on 🙈 these cycles are just cruel!

@EllieWales Yep we're in it together this month girlie's. Hoping it's a better month for us all.

Not too far away now, ovulation in around 6 days for me.

I have a Dr's appointment on the 7th too, hoping that they will do some blood tests etc to confirm all is okay as the spotting before every period is making me wonder if there's an issue, hopefully not.🤞

@Lh4503 I’ve had some cramps and lower back pain so I’m sure she’s not far away! I’ll be glad for it to arrive at this point 😅

@WF1990 I’m so sorry about bfn this morning, this has been a cruel cycle for you but good that you’re taking a step back and letting it be!

Looks like were in it together next cycle ladies, ovulation can’t be too far away for you @Lh4503?
