Don't want to get your hopes up obliv, but you could be pregnant.....with opks being positive, your hpt might be negative due to it not being a very sensitive one? Which brand did you use? Do you know the mlu?

BettyFlower78 · 26/08/2015 17:54

Hi YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut, Think after this cycle that is going to have to be our next step. I'm past the stressful bit I think, I have stopped myself getting too hopeful. It was just getting too much.
Hoping this month we have managed to get the timing just right!
Congrats to those who have positives this month!

CarrotVan · 26/08/2015 18:45

A Superdrug HPT is one of the more sensitive ones obliviated but sometimes HCG production takes a while to get going. There are plenty of stories about people who didn't get a BFP until two weeks late

Fx for you

And fx for that follicle birchy

Hi all! Sorry been a little bit absent - been manic at work this week!

Congratulations to Carrot!!! Massive hugs and celebrations. And hello to the new joiners too - welcome aboard!

I think I'm currently around ovulation... I bought some cheapy OPKs but they only arrived yesterday. Have been using them at work in the afternoons. Definitely negative yesterday but the line looked a bit stronger today. (My period app says today should be ov day) but I know I don't run like clockwork so just DTDing lots and and waiting to see...

I already feel myself symptom spitting (how stupid, not even ovulated probably yet!) so god knows what I'm going to be like over the next three weeks.

ToffeeAppleMarsBar · 26/08/2015 19:12

Obviously meant symptom SPOTTING. Although, symptom spitting sounds interesting!

Vikkijayne2507 · 26/08/2015 19:38

I'm only 5ish days post ov and I'm already symptom spotting, cramps yesterday and last night and today very emotional even tears?? Wtf

pulpi · 26/08/2015 19:40

AF most likely will start tomorrow, allowing me to take my seat on the bus officially. Still hoping that the nausea and sore boobs outweigh the 2 days of light spotting, though.

Sizzle1981 · 26/08/2015 19:57

Does anyone else get nauseous around ovulation time? Have been feeling sick on and off for 2 days. I'm only cd8 though and have negative opks though so I guess it could just be a bug.

Fx for you Birchy and Obliviated. x

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 26/08/2015 22:30

Well no sign of AF yet. Will see what my temp does tomorrow, but I expect it will go properly below the cover line and she will appear!

Obliviated · 26/08/2015 22:35

Thank you.

AF is due tomorrow though and I feel like it's on it's way. At least I know that next month when I get positive OPKs all week before it's due that it's nothing to get excited about.

We used preseed this month for the first time.

Obliviated · 26/08/2015 22:36

Thanks for the photos, I've been using First Response, IC and Superdrug tests.

I've been using IC and Superdrug OPKs and they've been consistent.

Emzlou15 · 27/08/2015 07:11

Hi, I'm new I hope you don't mind me hoping on the bus, pretty sure I'm on the September bus I'm CD29 on my first cycle off the pill and haven't seen any ovulation signs or positive OPK's. So waiting around for AF. Otherwise I'll be testing around 20 sept as that's near my DH birthday

Emzlou15 · 27/08/2015 07:16

* probably will test before then as I think I could easily become a POAS addict but that will be the latest I leave it

pulpi · 27/08/2015 07:26

Yup, sign me up for the bus. AF got me. The wench.

Obliviated · 27/08/2015 08:15

Negative HPT this morning and I feel like AF is on it's way, I'm due on this afternoon according to the app I use.

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 27/08/2015 08:24

A mystery from me too - my temp went back up this morning instead of going under the cover line. I got another BFN though. I don't know what is going on. I think I cocked up the temping earlier in the month and I've got the wrong ovulation date.

AF is "late"according to when I thought I ovulated, but my cycle usually varies between 28 and 31 days anyway. If she turns up today, that's still only a 30 day cycle. I guess I just have to wait and see. That's what DH keeps saying anyway!

Violet88 · 27/08/2015 08:54

Sizzle I'm CD16 today and have felt nauseous for the last two days. Not had a positive opk yet but from past cycles I generally get a positive opk around CD15/16. Guess it could just be a bug though??

Pulpi sorry to hear about AF? Sad

Good luck youandme and obliviated hope AF stays away for you both!! Obliviated I also tried pre-seed this month!

And huge congratulations Carrot!!!!

Obliviated · 27/08/2015 09:28

Another very positive OPK this morning. They've been positive for the last 5 days now. At least I'm getting two lines on something I suppose Grin

CarrotVan · 27/08/2015 09:35

Out of interest I tried an OPK last night and the test line was at least three times as dark as the control line and came up very strongly and very quickly. I certainly never had that strong a result when ovulating!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 27/08/2015 10:02

Fingers crossed for you Obliviated - it's all so confusing!

Obliviated · 27/08/2015 12:00

How did you get on with the preseed Violet? TMI but I found it made things difficult due to erm, excessive slippiness.

Vikkijayne2507 · 27/08/2015 12:13

When I was pregnant carrot the test line on opk was vv strong. I used them all just being curious until my 12 week scan

Violet88 · 27/08/2015 12:54

Obliviated OH didn't like it really, said it reduced/changed sensation. I also found a far smaller amount than what is recommended is actually needed!!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 27/08/2015 13:07

I tried an OPK last night just out of interest - nothing. So I think I'm just late, not pregnant. It's annoying, because I was sure I'd calculated it all beautifully, but clearly not!

MrsNuckyT · 27/08/2015 13:53

I'm on CD10 and got my first 'high' reading today. Think I had about a week's worth last cylce before my peak, so not going to get overly excited. Might try to muster up the strength to DTD tonight though, or maybe tomorrow!
