I know some people can have LH surges AF random times. But maaaaaybe you're pregnant. You should do a test if you think so. I've read that if you get a positive opk it will be after you're able to get a positive hpt.
This could be very exciting news Ladyflower!

I'm still here red was just feeling a little down after AF so took a few days off of MN to drown my sorrows in red wine and eat my body weight in crap. How are you holding out?

Got a positive on the OPK this morning (I ov really really early in my cycle, cd 9 for me) so have been busy being nice to OH since AF ended in the hope that DTD will come naturally instead of him throwing a tantrum about being under pressure like last month! Managed to DTD Sunday morning and last night so far, and it's wedding rehearsal tonight so surely that demands a test run of the wedding night?? And then I'm going to try and get another one in tmrw night and Thursday morning before the parents/in laws arrive then again on Friday (wedding night!)so I think we could be well covered off this month if all goes to plan.

AF due when I'm on honeymoon but I've pretty much decided not to take a test with me and just relax and enjoy myself. And if it does arrive I ov so early that I should ov again before we come back.

Terrys so sorry just catching up on the news I've missed, sending you lots of love.

pinpan I have started getting short cycles too, they used to be 28 days to practically the minute even when I came off the pill but the last 3 have been 25 days. I am hoping that maybe I was readjusting to life without the pill because I had 4 quite light, 4 day periods and the last one was heavy and painful and clotty and long (gross - sorry). So maybe that was a good riddance to the remaining hormones and my body is ready to get down to business now??

How's everyone else getting on?

Welcome to the newbies. I'm feeling a bit more positive now, I feel this could be a good month for a lot of us on here!

Thank you much for your excitement Smile How gutted am I going to be if I get a BFN or AF arrives!! Will teach me to do sneaky pee on OPK at non-ov time though!
I have ordered a Clearblue HPT to come with my shopping tomorrow, and I am going to hold out until Thursday to test (which will be 12dpo) with FMU. In the meantime I will resist the packet of OPKS on top of my bathroom cabinet (so expect an update when I pee on another one tomorrow morning Grin)

Thanks newbie.
Well this morning's opk was not positive but test line is still quite dark like in build up to lh surge so not sure what's going on. Maybe I just naturally have high amounts of lh before af. Got lots of cramps this morning so feel like af coming now. Was an interesting experiment anyway!

Sorry newbie and Ladyflower. AF sucks.
Are you using opks then Winnie?

I really need to get pregnant again soon. It's so hard, I've seen so many bumps lately and all I can think is "I'm supposed to have a bump too" I was meant to be having a baby beginning of September. Ugh I think I'm ok and all of a sudden something reminds me and I feel utterly depressed again.

Red hugs to you, totally normal to have crappy days. just remember that your body is waiting for just that right combination to make a beautiful and perfect baby Smile

Hugs to you red, it's tough. Although I've never had a mc I have experienced loss. It creeps up on me unexpectedly sometimes too, not so much as it used to.

I'm not using opks yet this is only cycle 2 so we shall wait and see how this one goes first.

Thanks for the welcome. Trying to get my head round all the acronyms and timings....so much to think about after years of trying NOT to get pregnant!
One stupid question if you don't mind -how soon can you test? Is it after you are overdue, or a certain number of days after when you think you ovulated? Or just when your willpower runs out?!

Report
pinpan · 17/07/2014 03:25

When your will power runs out! Grin But 12 dpo (days past ovulation) is when we try to make each other hold out til, coz you have a better chance of getting a positive by then (that'd be an average of a day or two before AF is due). But we salute you if you can wait until you are properly overdue!

Next cycle I am NOT testing until 14th August, which will be CD28, which should take care of my stupid irregular and short cycles (26, 23, 24 then 27 for the last four of them). Hold me to that! Wink

Morning everyone. Clear blue test arrived with shopping last night and obviously I caved immediately despite knowing I should wait for FMU BUT there was a faint line!!!! Unfortunately I only bought a single test so couldnt test again today but going to buy another one to hopefully confirm tomorrow morning...eeek!
Blanks how's it all going? Have you had your scan yet?

I can but I'm always a bit wary of blue dye tests, I don't know if the line is meant to be thicken than that or not? Have you got another one to confirm with?

They are notorious for evap lines and thats why I wonder as your line is quite thin. However if you get another test and you get a nice thick blue line or get a pink test you should be able to be sure.

If you google blue dye false positive etc in google you'll find loads of posts about them.

But I mean it could be positive, but if I were you I would deffo take another different test :)
