Thought I'd start a July bus, I'll be due to test around the 3/4th (because I'm impatient mostly). Fingers crossed for us all!

The thing about temps is that you're looking for an overall pattern, so it doesn't really matter whether you have constant temperatures or a bit more variation, but over the course of a month, if you're ovulating, you'll find a marked temp drop just before ov day, followed by a marked rise, which will last until your pre-af temp drop (usually a day or so before af) or your BFP.

My temps are all over because I'm a mouth breather I'm tempted to try vaginal temping if this month doesn't work... Which following today's drop I don't think it has :(

Morning ladies, I'm a bit despondent this morning. Yesterday my OPK showed the darkest test line so far - but still not positive. I was sure that this morning would bring a positive result as ovulation is due today according to my app. This morning? Nothing. The faintest damn line I've ever seen. DH thinks I may have ovulated overnight. Hmm
So I'm definitely not holding out much hope this month. Sad

MissWitch glad it all went well.

I suppose I'll no more and get a better insight the longer I do it. Starting to track it in my two week wait isn't ideal.

juneybean · 05/07/2017 09:27

I edited yesterdays to what it originally was and now mine looks more consistent which is weird for me haha

mini did u dtd the days leading to the almost dark opk? As I think that's what coubts. Sperm last up to 5 days so can catch the egg when it drops so to speak. Dtd today and I reckon u r covered.

How's it going cheese and mrsjones still holding out? What day is af due? I am on cd29, 11dpo and holding out to test so as to not waste anymore money on pregnancy tests. I may however be tempting to test in the morning. Just hate feeling disappointed.

WithCheesePlease · 05/07/2017 09:46

Hi mamasbook, I'm on CD30 and 12PDO, with AF due Friday... I'm holding out since getting bfn on Tues - same as you, no point in wasting money (I've been doing this for 8 months now).
So if I wake up Friday and AF hasn't arrived yet, I'll test then

Mrsjones17 · 05/07/2017 11:10

Think AF has come the s morning. It's still dark brown but with red clots (sorry tmi!) What day do I call cycle day 1? First full red bleed? Think I'm not tracking properly!

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 05/07/2017 11:15

Oh no mrsjones Flowers. Yes if it is af theb i would say today is cd1. Very sorry to hear this.

I can understand withcheese. Holding out hope Smile

WithCheesePlease · 05/07/2017 13:39

Sorry to hear that MrsJones

WithCheesePlease · 05/07/2017 13:43

Do you normally get dark brown or is this first time?

ladydolly · 05/07/2017 14:07

Sorry to hear that Mrsjones but yes, CD1.

I'm CD27, DPO 9/10. Tested yesterday and today with IC's and BFN. I don't mind wasting the money with IC's. (And I can convince myself they just aren't sensitive enough - total denial). AF due Friday/Saturday.

ally62442 · 05/07/2017 16:30

I can't personally see a second line there sorry @Mamabooksbabynumber2. Doesn't mean your not still in with a chance! Are you having a pre AF symptoms?

BlueeSpottyTiger · 05/07/2017 16:57

Mama i thinkkkk i can see a very faint line. Can you take it in daylight and slightly tilt the test towards you? I've got a good eye for a line! X

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 05/07/2017 17:02

Bless u blue - I threw it away as I was at work. Is it too early to test again with Fmu? I tested today at 1pm

BlueeSpottyTiger · 05/07/2017 17:05

Well this is where i think i can see something. But yes 1pm wee will prob be a bit dilute. Try again tomorrow, and post the pic so we can see..Goodluck xx
mrsjones so sorry to hear that Flowers

Thanks blue loving the arrow design!! Will do. X

Mrsjones17 · 05/07/2017 18:33

@cheese yes sometimes for two days before. This time I was trying to convince myself it was implantation as it was lighter!! (Yes I realise I am a nut job!) It's now full on AF. Never mind. Feel surprisingly alright about it. I'm gonna try and just ease off on the opks etc next month and see how it goes. We've got a busy few months coming up and can't put stuff on hold as it seems body is in no hurry to conceive!

WithCheesePlease · 05/07/2017 18:38

Sorry mamasbook hope

WithCheesePlease · 05/07/2017 18:38

hope there's a still a chance.

I've no idea what's going on, I

WithCheesePlease · 05/07/2017 18:40

I feel really sick in the last few hours. Apologies for pressing send way too soon!

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 06/07/2017 05:53

12dpo anything blue? I think I'm out but then again getting line eyes I think I see the faintest line.
