Well I think I'm 5dpo today so by 23rd I'd be 13dpo which is cd35 and I don't usually have a period start after that. For you though I think it depends how long you usually have between OV and AF. I have got FRERs to test with anyways so it should matter for me. Standard tests usually say day after your period is due (I think?!) but I don't know if that's accurate or not because I tested at 15dpo with a FRER last time too so the line came up instantly! I temped last time too so that made it easier to know when to test. This time it's a bit more of guess work with CM and CP. Probably best to test 14dpo plus if you want to make sure you're definitely late!

Sorry thought you meant If you were me you'd test on the 23rd!! Good luck on the 23rd I'll probably test on the 25th.
With my first I tested 5 days after AF was due as my husband wouldn't believe me that I was late and wanted to test with him. By then I knew I was pregnant anyway!
I conceived on 3rd cycle with #1 and am on 3rd now for #2 (have discounted the first two after my miscarriage as they were not normal. I don't think it's always quicker with number 2 but crossing my fingers for you!

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 13:46

Ah sorry! Yeah I'm sure it's not always faster. Time will tell anyway. My husband is one of these very optimistic people when it comes to TTC. I think he thinks he has super sperm! How old is your first now?

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 13:48

Sorry about the miscarriage too. How quickly did you conceive that time?

wispaxmas · 15/05/2016 14:17

Sunny, my DH thinks he has super sperm, too Hmm. It's a male pride thing, they all think they're superman!

frobskottle · 15/05/2016 15:21

Well maybe proving your husband right as I got pregnant after DTD once for my miscarriage. We weren't supposed to be trying but I'd been talking about it and asking to (meaning to prep my husband for TTC in Nov) anyway we DTD once in Aug and then he was like what on earth are we doing so we stopped but I got pregnant anyway and we were both v excited.
In a partial molar like I had two sperm fertilise the egg so my hubby definitely thinks he has super sperm!

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 15:33

Haha no amount of telling him the sperm doesn't sort everything out seems to work!

Oh does that mean you'd have had twins then frob? You might well just need a bit of time after the MC and then you'll be back to being super fertile again. Fingers crossed!

Mrsp2011 · 15/05/2016 17:40

So had the patience of a saint and held out to today to test, Dpo15, cd37, longest cycle since coming off pill in Nov. Now don't know!! Think negative ic? But maybe positive other - getting desperate I used a OPK and def shown as positive - have heard these can pick up hcg? 2nd pic is test at 10 mins!! What do u think??!!

I can see a very faint BFP on all of them! Are you sure you're 15dpo? Maybe time to buy a FRER?!

Mrsp2011 · 15/05/2016 18:04

I think I am sunny used opk's for the first time this month which also tied in with other symptoms of ov. Looks like I'll be making a stop at the shops tomo!!

Thanks all!! Grin fx it's a sticky bean!!

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 20:13

What cycle are you on Mrsp? Do we not still go the conception stats like we used to on the buses?! Like what days you DTD on, what symptoms etc?! I used to love reading those!

SunnyDays1987 · 15/05/2016 20:13

*still do?

FozBoz · 15/05/2016 20:30

Hi to you all and congrats to the BFPs!

I've nearly missed the bus! I wasn't sure if I was even in a postion to catch this month. Had MMC in March but bled for ages. I had a positive OPK on 5th May so I guess I could be testing any day now.

I have one FRER left from last pg but was saving it for best Grin plus a load of internet cheapies. Have some symptoms but can't trust what's normal now.

I should hold my nerve till mid week at least!

Mrsp2011 · 15/05/2016 20:48

Tbh, it's kinda my first cycle. Had come off the pill (after 12 years!) in Nov and using the fertile app to know what days to avoid and to learn about my cycle. Learned that I ov late - day 23, with a short luteul phase so started vit B complex last month. I'm an all in kinda girl so went all in the first cycle with opks! Seems to have done the trick! But not getting too excited yet.

SunnyDays1987 · 16/05/2016 06:39

How long was your LP originally then? I think I OV around cd22 usually and have a 10 day LP. When I've taken conception vitamins it's just made me spot for a few days before AF comes but I think that's probably the b6. I have a DS though so it must be a problem for me. If I don't get pregnant in a few months I might have to consider whether I need to take the vitamins again or not!

Mrsp2011 · 16/05/2016 08:39

It was 9 days so really short. As this is the first cycle I took it, don't really know if it prolonged, but maybe done the trick!!

SunnyDays1987 · 16/05/2016 08:42

Who knows!! Did you do another test this morning?!

AmyC86 · 16/05/2016 09:17

They're definitely positive, congrats!
