Welcome @APositiveMind!

So I'm 2 DPO now. Thinking I'll test on 5th or 6th next week when I will be 12 DPO (that's what FF recommends)
When is everyone else testing?

Jess123s · 26/12/2018 09:55

Flo predicts I’ll ovulate in 3 days. Been getting absolutely nothing from the opks! Not even a faint line. I’ll hopefully be testing on the 12th/13th. This is my first cycle TTC and I’m quickly learning this is a serious waiting game and test of patience.

APositiveMind · 26/12/2018 10:19

Thank you!
When is the best time to test, 2 weeks or 3 weeks after dtd. I trying got track my ovulation but my app won't be 100% correct so I hate the thought of testing too early

Dimblebimble · 26/12/2018 11:08

Tested Christmas Day in the end, to see if I could drink. Bfn 😫 then had dhs auntie point out 4 times (!) to the whole room that unlike his brothers/sil we don't have 'any babies' for her to buy for. That made me feel great 🤔

Oh well, here's hoping to a luckier 2019

thosethreewords · 26/12/2018 11:27

@Dimblebimble eurgh!!! God how tactless can you be?! I expect we aren't the only ones with tactless family members (although I admit I probably was one of THOSE people a few years ago who asked when older couples were going to have children and probably hugely annoyed them )

@APositiveMind I read this morning that 18DPO will definitely give you a BFP if you are pregnant but I don't know when the actual cut off is. I'll probably try and wait for AF and then test the day after if she doesn't show (next Sunday)

Peaky1 · 26/12/2018 11:32

Welcome all! I've been lurking around too and post every now and then 😊.

I've not got a flipping clue when I ovulated, despite OPK daily. I now have an Ava bracelet on order (eBay 2nd hand) as I'm spending a fortune on OPKs and tests etc so I thought &£@k it!

I'm now CD22, don't know if ovulated or not, had mild period cramps since yesterday and period due around 3rd Jan. 🤷🏻‍♀️

HJWT · 26/12/2018 14:12

I think I'm on last day of my period so when do i start tracking with OPK??? Pleaseee iv never done it before 😂

WatchingTheWheels85 · 26/12/2018 16:06

@HJWT I would start from cd8 Smile

emcrave · 26/12/2018 17:15

Im now 2DPO and already going insane! AF is due in 10 days so I think ill test then, although I’m already really inpatient! I had the worst ovulation pains 2 days ago, still managed to dtd so hoping I’ve timed everything right this month!

HJWT · 26/12/2018 17:40

@WatchingTheWheels85 so if my period lasted 7 days do i start tomorrow? 🤔 sorry its very confusing x

WatchingTheWheels85 · 26/12/2018 18:07

@HJWT yes the first day of your period counts as cd1. I always start on cd8 but I have light periods which last 4 days and ovulate around cd11. This month I got my flashy on cb opk cd9 then static cd11. I'm now on cd18.

HJWT · 26/12/2018 18:09

@WatchingTheWheels85 ah great thank you! What time do you usually test? I read your meant to test between 10 am & 6pm...

WatchingTheWheels85 · 26/12/2018 18:12

I test at 11 then again at 4. I'm using cb digitals which can be expensive but I struggle with the vheap ones. I've only started using them this cycle (cycle 2). I have also started drinking grapefruit juice daily from cd1 to ovulation to increase cm.

HJWT · 26/12/2018 18:28

@WatchingTheWheels85 wow i literally no NOTHING! Haha thanks for all the advice...

@saffy347 i haven't had more than 1 cycle since 2010, i had the implant, removed it, got pregnant first cycle, put implant back in after baby and just had it removed again so to be totally honest i feel like I'm 11 again i cant even remember how much bleeding is classed as light - heavy 😂

HJWT · 26/12/2018 19:05

Flo app says i should ovulate the 2nd!! Im so scared if i get pregnant it would be due around my DD 3rd birthday 🤪

ElleyBear13 · 26/12/2018 19:20

Hey all hope everyones had a wonderful Christmas-can i hop on the bus? I think it may be one of my last times on the ttc bus I first joined the ttc boards in 2013- my son was born in 2015 and my youngest born earlier this year 😄 they’ve always been so good for support & advice! So here it goes no idea what cycle is on but here’s my stats : Age: 28 Ttc#3 (7th pregnancy) Cycle: ???

WildFlower2018 · 26/12/2018 19:48

Merry Boxing Day 🎄

So I've ovulated earlier than my app predicted. Hoping we've done enough this month to be in with a chance: 🥴

23- DTD, EWCM, neg OPK
24- EWCM, spotting (from DTD?) neg OPK
25- DTD, pos OPK
26- DTD, neg OPK
27- was predicted to ovulate on one app
28- was predicted to ovulate on another app

I had such a fitful night's sleep last night! I kept dreaming about pregnancy tests and then shot out of bed in the small hours worrying my dog had died (?!) and she was curled up fast asleep on the floor at the foot of the bed. Actually going 2WW crazy!

emcrave · 27/12/2018 10:50

I think Im going 2WW crazy too @thosethreewords I told myself Id be calm this time Grin

Fortheloveofscience · 27/12/2018 11:30

CD13 today and OPK positive this morning. DH at home so can hopefully DTD later.

Farhana170 · 27/12/2018 12:52

@HJWT I started using opk from CD 11 this month (period lasted 6 days) last month I had a positive opk at CD13 so tested earlier this month. As per my previous post had nooo positive whats ever all the way until CD18 which was yesterday. The control line and test line was the same. I have tested again today CD19 and it is even darker! And getting darker by the minute. Attached a pic. I don't know why I'm ovulating so late. At first I thought the opks weren't working, but even my temps weren't rising and dropping considerably. I even thought my bbt wasn't working and I had already ovulated. We didn't BD after we thought I ovulated so may have missed out chance this month
