MundayCakes85 · 10/12/2013 19:17

LH think you need to wait until
tomorrow and try again, it's still v early days. FX for you x

Choccywoccydodah · 10/12/2013 19:19

Paracetamol it is, I've not got any fruit and nut but I do have 4 pack of 4 boosts in the fridge if that counts Grin (they were on offer in Sainsbury's if anyone is interested, most of their chocolate bars were 4 for £1!!)
Going to have a nice hot bath I think in a min.

LH don't give up chicken af isn't here yet Smile

LH1981 · 10/12/2013 19:19

Aw thanks Ladies. Picked myself up now. I have a feeling I might ovulate slightly later so I could only be 11dpo ish. Here's hoping (but with a sensible pinch of realism!)

Fingers crossed for anyone POAS'ing in the next day or two! xxx

Hmm, Little if this month is not 'the one' then I might start with the OV monitoring - give me something else to obsess about! Wink

Feelingfatty · 10/12/2013 19:23

Oh lh don't give up! Do another with fmu at some point! Good luck and fx xx

lucyfluff · 10/12/2013 19:24

Deal munday Wink

Damn you choccy I m so tempted to drive to sainsburys but im sat in my pj's lol!! Shock

Writerwannabe83 · 10/12/2013 19:32

Don't give up LH - when I first tested with a CB I was 11dpo and had decided to pay out for one because they claim to be able to detect pregnancy 4 days before AF is due. It came back as a negative and I was gutted. However, 2 days later I was getting BFPs cropping up on all kinds of I.C and Own Brands Smile

I only got my CB BFP the day my period was actually due.

Keep the faith!!!!!!!

Choccywoccydodah · 10/12/2013 19:40

You're welcome Lucy Wink

Missvaughan85 · 10/12/2013 19:45

LH af was due last Thursday, did a normal clear blue, thought I saw something, hubby bought two digi's Friday, did one that night and nothing, line didn't get stronger until yesterday and got 1-2 weeks on a digi. So don't worry it's still early. My lines have got stronger since Thursday. I'm still testing, only as I can't believe its real and two. If the line fades perhaps something's wrong. I am truly a poas addict!!! X x x

Missvaughan85 · 10/12/2013 19:47

And did a digi Saturday and it was negative. X x x

Didyeaye · 10/12/2013 19:51

Hiiiiiii!

Congrats barmy , rose , mammab , feeling , and dicho !! Amaaaaaazing!

Well I did a FRER and another IC this morning and they were realllly faint. The IC was even fainter than yday...is that even possible? Think I am 11dpo, and have some brown CM (TMI) only when I wipe. Do u think I'm out? Would there be any point testing tomorrow or should I just wait it out and see if AF turns up?

babyspice2501 · 10/12/2013 20:19

didyeaye I dont think your out yet hun. It could be implantation bleeding xx

Choccywoccydodah · 10/12/2013 20:36

Lucy, please don't shout at me. Just getting ready to go in the bath and tested again (dh has gone out). ShockShockShock Think I may have a slight line.......!!!!!!

BexBoo12 · 10/12/2013 20:36

Hi everyone...so sorry I've been so busy at work today that I haven't had chance to pop on...what an eventful day! Yesterday was eventful too!! Look at all those BFP's!! Im so so pleased for you!! What a perfect Christmas present!! Thank you to those sharing the deets :-) I'm a bit weird, I sit and obsess over the details of others' BFP's, wondering what I can do the same next month!! Even calculating the same days to DTD! Sad or what x

I'm not sure if anyone noticed my post either yesterday or day before - Im sorry if you just didnt know the answer hence no reply, orwhether it may have just got lost in all the amazing posts with BFP's so hope you dont mind me asking again...

If I get a positive opk, will I definitely ovulate following that result? I'dalways assumed that following a positive opk, it was a given that I would ovulate somewhere in the next 2 days or so, but after reading something online, it seems to suggest that you may not ovulate, even with a positive reading? I'm sure this is wrong, because then, what would be the bloody point in using opks? I know some laies dont ovulate every month, so I always guessed they just would not have had a positive reading that month...am I wrong? Please correct me ladies :-)

Sorry for long post, and some of it is very self-centred - I'm sorry for that I'm just confused :-/ then I promise I will get back to the positive BFP congrats posts...I'm so excited for you all!! xxx

BexBoo12 · 10/12/2013 20:38

Choccy!!!!!! Post a pic!!! Fx!!

Choccywoccydodah · 10/12/2013 20:40

The light is REALLY bad in the bathroom!

Choccywoccydodah · 10/12/2013 20:40

For a pic I mean

Feelingfatty · 10/12/2013 20:41

Choccy that's amazing!!! Is it a line?? Can you see it!! A lines a line :) and bex, after talking to doctor he said no a positive opk does not mean you ovulate it just means you have realised the hormones that people do before they ovulate, may still not release an egg. (However most people do and best to be positive :) )

Choccywoccydodah · 10/12/2013 20:41

I've lost the test FFS

Didyeaye · 10/12/2013 20:44

Thanks baby but I thought u could only get a BFP after implantation rather than before? Might just be a random bit of old blood, has stopped now but after the even fainter test this morning, I'm wondering whether it's worth PingOAS in the morning or just waiting to see if AF arrives? I know there's no right answer to this, just need someone to help me decide!

Bex the OPK tests for the LH surge so don't guarantee u ov the next few days, just that you have had a surge, don't know for sure but think this means your body could gear up to OV, then not, but gear up again days/weeks later.

BexBoo12 · 10/12/2013 20:46

Choccy!!!! How have you lost it?!! Relocate it and swiftly find better lighting and get uploading!!!!!

Feeling...really?? I am totally going wth the positive thinking...but it does make you wonder, what the hell is the point if it's not certain?! Certain as in yes you will ovulate I mean? I know that no test is guaranteed like that I suppose...but still?! That's shocked me a bit to be honest. But I'm going with the 'I'm deffo going to ovulate in the next day or so' haha xx

Choccywoccydodah · 10/12/2013 20:47

Found it, trying to upload

spinningirl10 · 10/12/2013 20:47

Choccy....Wow!! That would be fantastic news...find the test!! Lol Grin

Bex....I'm not sure but I think if you have a positive test then yes you ov in the next 36 hours. I'm sure someone more knowledgable will be along soon to help Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 10/12/2013 20:48

My bath is going cold....

Feelingfatty · 10/12/2013 20:50

Didyeaye, when where/are you due af? How faint have the tests been?? Do you have to squint or is line clearly there? I would do another test tomorrow and if line is still there but still getting fainter (or gone) maybe ask doc to do your bloods they should do them as they did for a friend when she unfortunately had a chemical pregnancy. That's not to worry you as there was obviously avoid chance it wasn't as that's why they did the bloods!!
