I'm on CD 8 and just about to start the joys of fw and OPKS again for cycle 6 of ttc #1
Anyone else approaching/in fw and got any new tips/ideas you're trying this cycle? Or anything you did different which resulted in BFP? How often if everyone dtd?

So I've had such bad nausea this evening. Mixed with excess salivation which was just too much, sore boobs and bloated af. Will bite the bullet and do my clear blue tomorrow......

I did an ovulation test today and there was a line although not as dark as the control line (not far off it)

Does anyone know what that means? I'm new to ovulation tests.

Good Luck CRZ Sounds very promising Lost
Tampinfuminragin I got an lol like that then got a definite pos the next day so test again today. I think the surge builds so the 2nd line gets darker the closer the surge gets

So I tested this morning at 2.30 when middle one woke me up as he needed loo

Just ic and I dipped and left it

Forgot about it then went back and there's a faint line on it

So did another 1
And it was working very slowly (pink was still moving up so not completely clear yet) and that looked like a very faint line was forming too

I've read a few times that ic take a bit longer to show up

Also don't want to get my hopes up

And like a mad woman will prob test once I've held wee in for a few hours lol

HellaBella0 · 22/12/2017 08:23

Oooh exciting @LostMyBaubles have you got a pic? How many dpo are you now? I’m 10dpo and still not tested yet

LostMyBaubles · 22/12/2017 08:27

Domt have pic as my cam is crap 😶 I smashed the cover lense by accident and it doesn't focus properly

I'm 9dpo or 7dpo

HellaBella0 · 22/12/2017 08:33

Lost have you got a FRER? If you’re getting a faint line on an Internet cheapy you’d probably get a pretty good line on a FRER?

Ooo Lost that sounds promising fx

Domt have frer tbh don't wanna spend on them lol

HellaBella0 · 22/12/2017 10:28

Yeah know what you mean lost. I have 2 that I got when reduced on Black Friday and determined not to use them too early as my Internet cheapies are due to arrive today.

LostMyBaubles · 22/12/2017 10:33

Might have been false alarm 😣😔

LostMyBaubles · 22/12/2017 11:21

I could still see the line on 1 and not the other

I've been for a wee atleast 6x already

Debating if I should hold it in and take another test around 1.30 or wait until tomorrow

HellaBella0 · 22/12/2017 11:26

@LostMyBaubles step away from the tests lol. At this early stage you really need FMU so no point torturing yourself by constantly testing through the day

LostMyBaubles · 22/12/2017 11:40

Hella thank you lol

Last month was horrible and I think the worry obv still there

We dtd enough to cover fertile days, before and after.
Fx!

Sealaplace · 22/12/2017 21:05

Drifted away from here as I've been trying to be less obsessive! Visited a friend with week old baby tonight and came back just feeling like I should test, AF 1 day late and had a vv faint BFP!!! It wasnt FMU of course and on an Internet cheapie so going to retest in the morning! Trying not to get too excited though! Hope everyone is getting on well

LostMyBaubles · 23/12/2017 10:33

Seal positive is positive!
Congrats

Bfn this morning for me
10dpo or 8dpo
So telling myself it's too early

Merrz · 23/12/2017 12:38

Lost I resisted testing this morning 8dpo. So wanted to though.
Yay congrats Seal have you tested again today?

LostMyBaubles · 23/12/2017 12:43

Merzz I've got loads of ic so that's why i did thinking it would pick up lol

Ah well. Fx

Merrz · 23/12/2017 13:32

I actually think that might be the way to go Lost if you test every day from like 8dpo then you're not really expecting it to be pos at that stage but if you wait until day at is due you proper get your hopes up and then the bfn is gutting, might be easier to take if it's gradual!

surreygirl1987 · 23/12/2017 13:51

Yes @Merrz I think so. For the past couple of months I've been doing ubterbet cheap tests from around 9dpo. Although it's upsetting when it's negative I'm not rrally expecting it to be positive anyway... then by around 12 dpo I've kind of accepted it's not going to be bfp so I never have a crushing 'moment of disappointment! Works for me but everyone's different x

I've always been trying to hold off so you get a definite answer but it feels like a lot of pressure waiting for that one test and an awful disappointment when it's a bfn. Think I'm going to do that from now on. 9dpo tomorrow so will go from then

OP posts:
LostMyBaubles · 23/12/2017 17:33

Merzz defo makes some sense

Deep down I want to see a bfp
Deep down I know there's a chance it can still be bfn but can't do what I did to myself last month. Mentally it was so draining
