Okay so my temperature is still high, and I've had to put leggings on today as my lower abdomen is achy...

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 31/07/2017 09:44

Right guys so it's a couple of days before the two weeks they said to wait to test, but I caved. So below is within the first 5 mins (though it's a bit tricky to get it, there is a second line, but it is pretty faint in person). The darker one is after the time limit but I just darkened it to show it's there (as best as a can).

Do you think I'm looking at just waiting another week to see if it changes at all? I'm not really sure why I'm asking here but I'm pretty desperate for it to be negative right now (words I'd never thought I'd say!).

There's definitely a shadow Unicorns probably not what you wanted to hear...

ally62442 · 31/07/2017 09:56

There's deffo a shadow @UnicornsandRainbows1 what DPO are you?

ally62442 · 31/07/2017 10:00

Sorry @UnicornsandRainbows1 just read your previous post.

IntelligentPutty · 31/07/2017 10:01

@UnicornsandRainbows1 I waited till the exact 2 weeks to test and it showed positive. Phoned epu who were asking how strong is it and to wait another week.
So looks like it's on the right track and soon enough you'll be back in the game. X

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 31/07/2017 10:20

@juneybean Ah it's okay

@ally62442 It's okay Flowers I was thinking of mentioning it but there's only so many times I can repeat it without going BSC Smile

@IntelligentPutty Thank you. It is pretty early still so I'm not sure what I was expecting to see. I'll definitely ring them up in a couple of days and see what they'd like me to do. On the strange plus side, I'm clinging on to the fact that it's super faint. It weirdly makes me feel better knowing that it's not a really dark line or anything.

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 31/07/2017 11:38

Hi! Can I jump aboard? Would be testing on 29th Aug.

Welcome all newbies!!! Hoping for BFP for all of you.

Is CD 11 to early to POAS Blush

passmethewine123 · 31/07/2017 16:43

It's not too early but if you don't use FMU you might not get an accurate result...and if it's BFN you'll be left wondering if it's just negative because it's not FMU...well that's what I would be like anyway!

Emz01 · 31/07/2017 16:47

Welcome newbies!

@UnicornsandRainbows1 unfortunately I can see a line too, hope you get a negative soon! 💐

5dpo and it seems like I've got thrush, so annoying! Must be all this DTD and checking cm has just disrupted me again. I've read that it shouldn't affect my chances of a BFP or the treatment as long as I use the pessary so really hope that's the case.

PineapplePrincess · 31/07/2017 19:09

Evening all. Tested again this morning, only to get a negative. So yesterday's test must have been an evap line. :-(

So disappointed and frustrated.

Now six months post miscarriage (@ 12wks), with one chemical pregnancy and four BFNs; so want this month to be the one. Particularly with two close friends giving birth to twins and a little girl in the last week.

AF should be due tomorrow. I'm assuming if I would be testing positive by now, if it's to be...?

Janefx40 · 31/07/2017 19:53

@PineapplePrincess sorry about the BFN. Don't want to give you false hope (if you're like me you'll hope anyway until AF appears in full force) but it is definitely possible to still test negative at this stage. It takes 3-4 days post implantation to get a positive urine - although the average implantation is day 9, it can be as much as 12dpo. So either way it is still possible you are preggers.

PineapplePrincess · 31/07/2017 20:28

Thanks Janefx40, I live in hope. I never knew how much of a closet optimist until we started TTC!?!

HolyShmoly · 31/07/2017 20:49

AF has just fecked off so I'm all in now.
Evening primrose oil, multivitamins, including folic acid and vitamin d, pomegranate juice and raspberry leaf tea all being taken daily.
I'm keeping my feet warm as much as possible and I'm going to look for some fertility yoga to do once I finish this week's GOT.
OPK strips are on their way, and I'm going to start monitoring my cm from today.
DH is away today and tomorrow, then he's banned from going away for more than one night at a time for the rest of the month! Will be DTD every other evening for the month and a few times more over my FW.

And to top it off with some PMA, every so often I'll silently shout 'WHAT WOMB?' 'THIS WOMB' a la High School Musical.

Anything else I'm missing?

MissYeti · 31/07/2017 21:04

@holyshmoly sounds like you're ready and raring to go!

IntelligentPutty · 31/07/2017 21:06

@PineapplePrincess I feel your pain. Not sure what to say but do understand.
So hard when those nearby are popping them out. (Not to sound to selfish and horrible as I'm sooo happy for anyone having anew baby) just wish it was us.
It will be.
PMA!

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 31/07/2017 21:37

Hi ladies. I'm a newbie.

As mentioned previously
TTC #1
Cycle #1
Age #32

First month TTC so probably unlikely to happen...however, I am relying on CM to identify ovulation which isn't an exact science. Am tracking fertility via Clue app. would you say it's excessive to dtd everyday over the fertile window? I read somewhere that every other day is better to give things time to ahemmm....replenish. We will be on hols then so would be entirely possible to do it everyday. May be fairly exhausting though! Any advice would be appreciated.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 31/07/2017 21:49

Fertility friend app says 94% of pregnancies in its data are from DTD in the three days before ovulation (including ov day). Interesting- and worth DTD on all three days I think!!

Cd14 tomorrow for me. Ov could be CD15 or CD19 so trying to DTD every day now

TheGrumpySquirrel · 31/07/2017 22:01

Just did an OPK and it's positive / very close to positive! So happy I don't have to wait another week for ov

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 31/07/2017 22:22

Thanks grumpy. That's good to know. My cycle is 27 days and always get most ewcm around cd15 so will time it around then. Glad to hear your OPK is pos! Good luck and baby dust to you.

juneybean · 01/08/2017 08:13

Another BFN here at 11dpo and period cramps :(

pixieinlove · 01/08/2017 08:25

@juneybean I was going to test today too as we are on the same cycle dates. But was advised that it was too early and would probably get an BFN. Going to wait till Thur CD13 cause that is what the one app says is the My AF should arrive. And then then I'll test again Sat which is when another app says AF should arrive.

Do you think maybe you tested too early?? When does your apps say AF should arrive?

I've had an upset tummy for a couple of days so have been feeling nauseas for days now. So hard not to hope that it's the first sign of pregnancy and not due to upset tummy. With DD that was my first sign that I was pregnant.

juneybean · 01/08/2017 08:28

AF should be here Thursday or Friday but I feel like she might be here tomorrow. Possibly too early but with all the cramps I've had I truly thought even a shadow would show by now.

Fingers crossed for you xx
