Hi LetsGoFly
I never got a +tive opk but based on symptoms I am pretty sure I know when I ovulated
Test 1 - 12-14dpo - negative
Test 2 - 16-18dpo - negative
Test 3 - 19-21dpo BFP
Hope that helps x

LetsGoFly · 07/12/2016 06:52

Flamin I meant positive hpt BlushGrin

Sorry! Should've specified

LetsGoFly · 07/12/2016 06:53

Flamin oh sorry I see now! So how many dpo do you think you were with your BFP?

LetsGoFly · 07/12/2016 06:55

You know what? Please ignore those last two posts - I clearly can't interpret standard English this morning Grin

Wow! So you missed a period all together by the time you got a BFP? How lucky are you! Most people would've just accepted they were just late for some other reason and stop testing Shock

MissMagpie · 07/12/2016 07:38

Congratulations flamin. Amazing news.

My cycle is very much like yours so you have given me hope! This bus is beginning to look full of baby dust!

Oggy88 · 07/12/2016 07:48

Congrats, Flamin! Lovely news! So good to see bfps are actually happening somewhere out there! People DO get pregnant! Hope some of your baby dust rubs off onto the rest of us!

Lulu298 · 07/12/2016 07:50

Loving the look of Commando Dad flaming! The book that is. Although having visited his website, he's not that bad looking in real life!

I had a peak at his forum too. www.commandodad.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6&sid=f0fccac655fc484a647cbb2cdd09e094

Quite funny to see their acronyms and shorthand!

Writerwannabe83 · 07/12/2016 08:42

I've just taken an IC at 8/9dpo with second urine of the day and surprise, surprise, BFN Grin

Why do we do these crazy things?

I only decided to do it because since yesterday afternoon I've had constant cramps in my groin and lower tummy area with some twinges too.

OVIA says my test date is in 4 days time which technically means I could use a FRER now....

pebble82 · 07/12/2016 11:01

soooo AF due today (according to an app) but no sign yet. I've amazed myself at resisting testing so far, but now I'm "late" I can't bring myself to do it.

BertieBotts · 07/12/2016 11:14

Got my date wrong somehow, I'm due to test on the 17th/20th ish, not 27th!

I have no idea if I've ovulated, I'm getting very haphazard at this Blush

BertieBotts · 07/12/2016 11:15

I always wait until I'm late now. Because period due today could mean anything up to 11pm for me...

Just saves money on tests that way Grin

BertieBotts · 07/12/2016 11:16

LetsGo - maybe this cycle being different from your M/C is a good sign?? I know sometimes when something is wrong it can cause the hCG to multiply too much, not just too little, so that could have been the cause of early positives. Fingers crossed!

FlaminFlamingo99 · 07/12/2016 11:16

LetsGoFly glad you got there in the end!! Grin I don't blame you getting confused at that time in the morning!!

Lulu glad u like the book too - he has nicknames for everything, home is Base camp. My DH doesn't read much but he likes this one - and I think I'll borrow it too!

writer if you are in the right frame of mind the do another test in the morning - but if this is your lucky month, it is unlikely to show that early anyway. My advice is wait as long as you possibly can - and make sure you are in a good mood when you do it Smile

pebble82 · 07/12/2016 11:23

Writer - three years ago I tested on 9dpo - 12dpo and got BFNs on 13dpo I got the tiniest of faint lines and on 14dpo it was a BFP! Still hope. Don't waste your money

LetsGoFly · 07/12/2016 11:25

Bertie Thank you - lovely to have some hope from simple things people can say. Really appreciate it Flowers

Ohb0llocks · 07/12/2016 11:52

Congratulations flaming Flowers

Nearing the end of period here I think. Planning on hitting it hard this month (no pun intended).

Every other day until I get a bfp or AF comes.

Let the military operation commence.

Ohb0llocks · 07/12/2016 11:53

Also ordered some cheap OPKs which should arrive today!

Writerwannabe83 · 07/12/2016 12:09

With my DS I was testing every day (sometimes twice) and didn't get a BFP until 14dpo.

With the pregnancy that I miscarried earlier this year I was getting really strong lines from 9dpo on any brand of test, not just FRER. It just proves there's no logic behind the lines.

I've got four more IC in my bedroom so I may just do one a day Grin

Carlotta82248 · 07/12/2016 12:58

Nothing news wise from me frer neg and all little strips still neg, definitely nauseous today but had a few drinkies last night so am sure it's that!

Adding to my list of imaginary symptoms:

Apart from 24 hours of twinges and cramps I have been having some palpitations today and not only did I fall asleep on the sofa this morning I also decided to have a little nap this afternoon and slept for 2.5 hours!!

janiPop · 07/12/2016 16:13

flamin I bet you're feeling extra excited for Christmas now. Does that make it 2 confirmed BFPs on the thread so far? We need more!

On a side note, is anybody taking or planning to take baby aspirin?

FlaminFlamingo99 · 07/12/2016 17:34

I am thanks Janipop Smile

MrsG what's the current list looking like?

Who's next to test?!
