Anybody 3DPO..?

[Lolastanley]

Anybody 3DPO that wants to ride the TWW together?

@lolastanley This is what mine looked like from my peak day, yours seem to be getting lower. The CD10 looks about the closest. Perhaps you ovulate later in your cycle and the peak is still to come? Have you noticed any EGCM?

Yeah I was thinking perhaps I missed it and it was early?? No I haven’t noticed any yet and I always have that, CM is getting more and more so I figured it would be today, I’ll test again later. You look like you ovulated Day 13?

I've got it down as day 14 as that's when my temp dropped, so I'm around 7dpo right now and in the lovely TWW.

Have you been DTD? Could have been early but if CM getting more hopefully still to come!

Not really with doing nights, we never see each other for a week because our shifts cross. Oh well, if it doesn’t happen then it’s always good to know it’s early as maybe that’s where I’ve been going wrong

Just keep your fingers crossed. I always forget that it's all down to chance anyway, even if you do everything right it could be a dodgy egg or a swimmer with half a tail. I think if you aim to DTD 2-3 times a week you have as good as chance as any to have it work.

I found opks really confusing for first few months, took me awhile to get the right time for me to test. Also really enjoying the BBT testing this cycle as it made it a lot clearer.

Thanks, I might try BBT next cycle if these opks don’t work. I think having various shifts really messes with my cycles.

Yeah it’s crazy to think you have like a 20/30% chance if everything don’t right. I always thought y got drunk had Sex and bam!

I know! Why did we put so much effort into not getting pregnant when it seems so hard to actually work!

Ha ha that’s exactly what I thought.

@Quiffy yes exactly!! Good luck on the tww! When are you going to stay testing?

Ive downloaded femometer too. Do you all use the free version or did you upgrade? Im quite tempted to upgrade, maybe in January.

@liilice I’m just using the free one atm, January might tempt me! Going to try and not test before AF which is 12th. Not sure I’ll last though haha

I’ve tried to use that ferometer but my LH must be so low it hasn’t read any. The premom reads most of mine 0.1 though.

I'm using the free version too... Not going to upgrade until I'm more confident that it's matching the other apps with what's happening. Curious about the analysis bits though!

Feeling really restless now... the tww seems endless and it's only just started! 3dpo tomorrow so back where we started in this group!

I cant wait to be back in the loop as well!!! I finally got a positive opk after taking a million today. Then I stopped drinking for a few hours and finally got one scoring 200 on femometer when I came back from work tonight. Shows how fluids intake make a big difference.

The TWW is the worse, feel like life goes slow.

This is my updated OPK tests, not sure if it ever came, is coming or happened early on. What do you guys think? Any point me continuing to test?

What I find weird about this cycle as well is, I haven’t had EWCM, normally I have a lot on one day. This time I’m having pinky, creamy stringy CM? Not all the time it’s happened 3 times.

@lolastanley cd10 doesnt look low, morr like a peak. Its quite strange. Some of my strips were much fainter than yours and the app said they were high. I would show you the pictures but I have no idea how to. How do you get the download the picture from the app? Also ive noticed that if I take several pictures of the same test, it will give me different results. And today my test is even stronger than yesterday but the app scores it as lower. So I dont think it is completely reliable. I would go by cd10 if i were you. Maybe if you had drank less it wouls have been stronger. Yesterday I tested several times and finally got a positive after not drinking not several hours and my pee looked like beer 😷.

@lolastanely Maybe keep going until cd20 just in case it’s a late one? Or just try to dtd every 2nd day and go for that? The one earlier in your cycle was v close to positive.

I’m not sure in pinky cm, could be ov spotting? I’m still a bit of an ov novice

@Sammyclaire22 TWW is the worst. At least I’m at the back end of it now so should know either way soon.

@Lilice wooo get your BD on :D

@Lolastanley ive just noticed something. you have to take a picture of your test on a white background. Maybe that's why it's not reading the results properly.

Maybe this is where I’ve been going wrong and I ovulate earlier. I did drink a lot when I first began testing because I never thought I’d ovulate so early, now I hold my urine for 3/4 hours and not drink for that time either and it’s lower lol.. I’ve had ovulation cramps like every month from CD10 so it could be possible, today they have finally stopped. I will keep testing and if not successful I might invest in clear blue ones.

Here's a screenshot of mine. They are quite faint at the beginning as you can see. Sorry I dont why the pictures are so tiny!

@Quiffy yes 😂 i told my husband to come home at lunchtime 😂

Lol @Lilice yeah yours are quite dark aren’t they.

@Lolastanley yeah but my app says period due in 11 days. I probably havent even ovulated yet. My luteal phase is shrinking! I don't think this month will be the one for month. Luckily I managed to book the cd21 blood tests for Monday so if there is an issue with me, i will find out soon enough.

How long will it take to get those results back? How come it has to be on CD 21?

I was really thinking my ovulation was coming as the lines started getting darker again but nothing again this morning, will check later. Have really creamy CM at moment though the brown/pink Cm has stopped? It happened 6DPO if it was cd10 that would be too early for implantation wouldn’t it?

I think within the week I should know. It's to check progesterone levels, which peak in the middle of the luteal phase. If you have a textbook 28 day cycle and ovulate on day 14 then the peak will happen on day 21. Its 7 dpo and 7 days before af. They certainly wont see a peak in my case as I think I ovulated yesterday or today ! My gp said to go 7 days before af. That would be Monday for me, ill go on tuesday instead but it will still be only a few dpo for me so I dont expect the results to come back normal.
