anyone due to be ovulating week starting 21st Jan?

[Explorers10]

Starting to gear up & hoping this will be a positive month! Anyone else in same cycle week as me?

@HMIB

Ps when you eject the stick does it have 2 dark lines??

@Explorers10 when I red the instructions it says it detects 2 days so technically I think you should get 2 days of smily faces then back to a circle. But for me in the past I have had a quick surge so it's been back to negative the next day so I'll see what happens tomorrow!

The lines are dark but could be darker. I also took a cheap test strip and the line was dark but not as dark as the test line but I did see they were out of date. So I ordered some more strip tests which will be delivered today. So I'll also use them later.

I'm just so happy that I've got a smily as I though it wasn't gonna happen 😂.

All the baby dust to us though!!! 😊. X

Hi @mussie and @2018isanewyear. I am also 7dpo today. I was going to wait until Friday to test at 11dpo. I've had cramps almost every day since the day before ovulation which is odd for me. On O day they were really painful. I also had 21day progesterone bloods this morning so hopefully I'll have it confirmed this week of I did actually ovulate. Fx it's a lucky week. I think I'll be particularly disappointed if we are put this month.

I’ve done a test at 8dpo- I think I can see a very faint line? But maybe I’m getting carried away...will test again tomorrow anyway

Can anyone else see it or am I going crazy?

I can see a line!!!!

Test again in 2 days I would

Hope you don't mind me joining the thread! Definitely looks like a BFP Ambs81 - keeping everything crossed for you. I am on cycle 6. Unfortunately I had an early miscarriage in Nov (6 weeks). I used the one step OPK's this month and finally showed a positive on cycle day 21 (previously had been ovulating around day 16/17 according to clear blue digital test but maybe the miscarriage has messed up my cycle?) so we DTD on all the right days etc leading up to day 21 and few days after. So was feeling quite hopeful this month. I should now be 7DPO but the last couple of days i've had mild cramps in my left lower side and tiny bit of brown spotting but then this morning it has turned darker red and I think maybe it is AF early. I am feeling really deflated. Has anyone else had this? Thanks

@Ambs81 I see a line! FX for you!

@anyag90 welcome!

I'm now 4dpo and I'm trying to decide when to test.

FRER website has a calculator and days that Feb 3rd is the best day to test. However, I'll only be 10dpo. Implantation is most likely to take place at 9dpo so would HCG even show up that quickly?

Not sure what to do.... the sensible open is wait and see if AF comes on the 8th I guess 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

@anyag90

Is it def AF? Have you had more bleeding?
I also had a mc in Nov, and it has sent my usually clockwork cycles haywire.
At least you’ve got a better understanding for next month, keep testing and see when ovulation comes- day 21 seems like a long one, maybe it will come earlier next month?
I haven’t used OPKs yet, hoping I see a better line when I test again.

Thanks @WildFlower2019. I think you will be ok to test using a FRER at 10DPO. I've read so many different things about when implantation is likely to happen and it can be anytime from 6-10 days from ovulation apparently. So stressful isn't it!

@Ambs81 Well i guess i'm not 100% sure it is AF, when i went to loo about half an hour ago it was back to tiny bit of brown when I wiped (sorry if TMI!) but still feeling twinging on and off. No other symptoms really except tired and bit nauseous but that could be anxiety! Yes day 21 was definitely late for me. So sorry to hear about you mc too, heartbreaking isn't it. Keeping everything crossed for you this month! Will you test again tomorrow? Did you use a FRER? My heads all over the place, thinking of getting a FRER to do tomorrow/Weds but just feel like its going to be negative.

@WildFlower2019 my AF is due on the 8th too. I've told myself I'll wait, it's 11 days away, we can do this right?

Anyone had any early symptoms?! The next 2 weeks waiting is going to go so slowly!!

I can definitely see a line @Ambs81! Excited for you, test again in a couple days and give us a progress report! 🤞🏽

@caramelcluster
Thanks, I will do! I will try to hold off until Wednesday - or even Thursday if I can bear it!!

Hi @Explorers10 I've just had cramping most days since ovulation which was unusually painful. It seems to have eased off but it's frustrating as now can't distinguish between that and AF pain! I'm 8dpo now. Testing Friday at 11dpo.

Ahh! 1Dpo and already feel my self going crazy! I've never been good in these tww's 😬.

Who's testing soon?! Need to see lots of BFP's!!!

@paddypaws91 - My mistake, my AF is due on the 7th not 8th according to my app. However, my cycle can vary between 29-31 days so it could come at any time between the 6th - 8th really.

@Explorers10 - I have had lots of symptoms but I think they can all be explained away. Over the last few months, I've had lots of symptoms and it's always turned out to be BFN! That still does not stop me symptom spotting though!!

Was symptom spotting reading through an older MN thread and saw one user make a list of test dates like this! I thought it was a fab idea so I copied it I've tried to go through the thread but please let me know if I've missed you off, or if you want to be added (newcomers welcome), or if you want me to amend what I've written below. I'll keep it updated!
