Fingers crossed for you Wishful I did a test this morning and it has a suuuuper faint line on it. Much too faint to tell if it has colour and I don't trust these tests at all so not going to get excited just yet. Hopefully tomorrow it will have got stronger and I won't start spotting like I usually do.

Wishful30 · 07/11/2018 07:15

BFN again this morning.

Still having a small amount of creamy cm with the occasional brown tinged patches.
Never experienced this before, even with other chemical pg's
Usually like a bloody desert down there until ew cm the day before af.
I did get cramps on and off for 4 days once before af arrived, but they were pretty intense at one point. Prob where it couldn't implant any further.

I can't get excited until I see a dark pink line as af seems to still arrive with the light pink with me 😐

Fascinated by this whole Opk pregnancy testing, I thought I'd see it through till af out of curiosity.
No I know there always a little LH in urine, however, majority of people get NO line until a few days before ovulation and it's fades away to nothing after the surge.
Some get a tiny faint line still. Can anyone confirm this for me with what they have found?

So, 10dpo FRER BFN
OPK .... very obvious
I have 27/28 day cycles and ovulate on cd 14/15 like clockwork
Have been ttc for well over a year, so pretty confident it's not just a late LH surge!

@Wishful30 - with my first pregnancy I got a positive OPK but then I got a BFP the same day.

CD34 and another BFN!

Wishful30 · 07/11/2018 11:26

@loveshinealight how long are your cycles usually?

I'm going to use the cheapie opks till AF comes, just outta pure curiosity. I'm interested to see if they remain this positive or if it does disappear. Or by some miracle I'm actually pregnant. 🤷🏻‍♀️

loveshinealight · 07/11/2018 11:29

@Wishful30 - 32 days x

Wishful30 · 07/11/2018 11:33

I've decided to be completely insane and poas at work, with our general dipsticks as I'm assuming it should show protein as the LH is apparently high 🤔

I think I'm my crazy little mind I do think I'm pregnant.
I've only 'felt pregnant' once before. I was right, but it turned out to be a chemical.
Which I know this may well be too, but with all the extra things I've been doing I'm so hoping that maybe it's made a difference 🤞🏻

loveshinealight · 07/11/2018 13:48

Would it show protein? The midwives always tested for protein and were worried if it positive ?

Chocolate89 · 07/11/2018 14:37

I don't think it would show up as protein on dipstick... It is a hormone that is in trace amounts. The dipsticks pick up more substantial protein that shouldn't filter through pee, and that's why they check it to make sure the kidneys are working.

I really hope you get your bfp though! Xx

Hello, I'm a bit of a lurker, just waiting for ovulation this week before I get on the TWW again 🙄

I'm using Clearblue ovulation tests, can someone confirm that the most fertile days are the 2 days that you actually get the smiley? Not after the smileys?

I'm a bit confused by it all and don't want to mess my dates up (again)

KinCat · 07/11/2018 23:22

I got a line! But I had one like this last cycle and then started bleeding the next day (my birthday Sad )

Hoping it'll show on a non-IC soon!

bunhead34 with the stick ovulation tests when you get a positive it means you'll ovulate in the next 24-48 hours so yeah, having sex around the time you get a positive is the best way to time it.

Wishful30 · 08/11/2018 07:19

I think I need to accept I'm not pregnant and query the LH tests? 🤔

KinCat · 08/11/2018 08:16

Hmm idk Wishful I've read lots of things online that say it's 12dpo frers which are considered definitive. Could you perhaps have ovulated later than you think?

Wishful30 · 08/11/2018 08:48

@KinCat if I ovulated later than I thought, we definitely missed it!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

NoParticularPattern · 08/11/2018 09:45

I’m just going to sidle in here!

I’m 27 and we are TTC #2. I am still breastfeeding our 9mo and have had three (currently this is my fourth) full cycles since 3 months PP. My cycles are a bit all over because of said breastfeeding so since my cycles came back they’ve been 59, 45 and 28 days. Now to my current situation. Currently on CD 35 and no sign of AF. We didn’t bother with OPKs as my cycles aren’t reliable enough to not spend a fortune but we have managed DTD every other day at least for the last month.

Here’s my issue. I’ve done a few IC tests since I am officially “late” according to my previous cycle, all BFN- absolutely no hint if a line. Yesterday afternoon I did an IC, looked at it briefly within a few seconds but then had to leave it and forgot until bed time. I pick it up to chuck it and there’s a clear line- no doubt about it no having to squint. Now clearly this was out of the time frame but I don’t know when the line appeared since I left it after less than a minute! Thought I’d do another this morning and nothing. Possibly a hint of a line but I have to really squint. Chances of the line on the last test being a HUGE evap? I’ve never had one before (or if I have it has been super squinty squint so I’ve written it off anyway).

Anyway I’ve got some FRERs coming tomorrow so I’ll do one of them on Saturday but just wondering if anyone else has had a really obvious evap on ICs? Possibility that I ovulated late (I did used to- CD 17-19 of a 28-31 day cycle) so this is making the tests wacky? I guess I’ll find out at some point!

Hoping to see lots of BFPs in the coming weeks!!

loveshinealight · 08/11/2018 13:46

Positive or evap line? I'm cd 35 today!

KinCat · 08/11/2018 14:43

Which one is the test line? If it came up within the time it could be a positive but it does look quite skinny (the vertical cross, the other vertical line by itself looks thicker).

NoParticularPattern and loveshinealight I read that if you dip the test back into plain water an evap will disappear. Not sure how true that is though.

loveshinealight · 08/11/2018 15:22

It did come up in the window but doesn't look right. I did the other one in The pack an hour later and it was a BFN.

NoParticularPattern · 08/11/2018 15:46

This is the photo of the test. It looks very grey in this photo but it definitely has colour in the flesh. Who knows! I guess I’ll find out come Saturday when I test with a FRER, don’t suppose agonising over an IC is going to change the outcome one way or another 😂😂

Hi everyone, last month and this month I've not been getting any positive opk but spotting and cramping mid cycle ( Never had it before). Do you think I'm ovulating without positive opk - not even faint line showing on tests

loveshinealight · 08/11/2018 17:13

Other one now has a line too! Negative frer though. Got another for the morning

November bus
loveshinealight · 08/11/2018 17:26

@NoParticularPattern - that looks positive!

Wishful30 · 08/11/2018 17:47

Oooohhhh @loveshinealight @NoParticularPattern they look positive!! 😁

Better than what I got, and now I have af cramps... early 🤦🏻‍♀️
Such a shame, would've been perfect timing for telling the parents on Christmas Day!

🤞🏻 you both have sticky little beans!! Xxx

Wishful30 · 08/11/2018 17:49

@loveshinealight what tests are you using?
I just got some of Boots new ones which apparently are 5days early but don't know if they're any good.

I kinda just wanna go poas now for the heck of it 😂
