Just wondering if there's anybody else out there that's due their AF around the same time as me. I definitely ovulated last Tuesday as I've been using the Clearblue ovulation digital test, & I also felt pretty sharp pain coming from my left ovary that day. I'm now 5DPO & yesterday & today I've been getting a dull achiness on & off on my left side. If there is anyone that's around the same time as me, I just thought we could keep each other updated on our symptoms☺️ AF not due for another 10 days so I hope it's not coming early 🤞🏻

Kirsten I'd say if you can hold off testing until the day after your missed period then you will likely get a much clearer result. I waited until 4 days late with my first pregnancy and got a blazing positive.

However this time around I tested this morning, 1 day before AF due and got a very faint line! I wish I'd waited now as I'm not convinced I'm pregnant!

kirsteng04 · 27/04/2020 16:24

@Littlebee1990 aw thank you so much! Yes I kinda went crazy on the ovulation tests and started way too early this month so I've really tried hard to be patient with the preg tests 🤣 fingers crossed for you!! X

@Popcat120 congratulations!! That's so exciting! Thank you I'm defo gonna test tomorrow... Can't wait any longer! 😁 Xx

kirsteng04 · 27/04/2020 17:48

@Infused yeah that's what's putting me off is getting a faint line then I'll be anxious for days. I just feel like I've been dying to know for ages, I know it's not very long but quarantine is making it feel like a lifetime 😅 thank you for your advice. Gonna speak to my husband xx

Infused · 27/04/2020 18:12

@Kirsten - I wish I had taken my own advice! I got too impatient last night and caved this morning, I really wish I hadn't.

I'm not going to test again until Thursday at which point I will be two days late. Unless AF shows her ugly face before then!

mumoftwobeauts · 27/04/2020 19:08

Can anyone help me pleasseeeeee

Had a positive opk last weekend and other symptoms telling me I was ovulating.

Had cramps on one side from Wednesday to sat, my nipples have turned brown and I'm weeing lots. No cramping anymore really after yesterday.

Just done another opk and it's positive (pic attached) it's darker in real life and the same colour as test line. Frer is negative, clear blue opk digital is no smiley.

I'm so confused!!

@mumoftwobeauts I’m sorry as I don’t really know 😞 when is your af due? It could be too early for a test if you aren’t 100% sure on when you ovulated.

Ashworth90 · 28/04/2020 06:49

Okay, so I cried this morning... my af is due and I’ve had no show on it. My BBT spiked highest it’s been this month and my test is sooo much darker. I think it is really real. I’m terrified and excited and also worried about when the time comes to tell family too as my step-brother and his wife have been trying for 3 years and she has discovered blocked tubes on both sides this year 😞 I know we have been exceptionally lucky to fall on our third cycle.

Any ladies testing this morning? 😘

Popcat120 · 28/04/2020 07:03

Aww @Ashworth90 look at those lines!!
Safe to say you're pregnant!!
So happy for you. Xx
Here's my cheapy b&m one yesterday afternoon, af not due til Thursday so I don't think I'll believe it until then.
Got to tell my manager today, way worried about that!

Good luck anyone still to test!

Awww Congratulations @Ashworth90!! 🎉🎉🥳💖 You really are pregnant and this is happening girlfriend!! I totally understand you though, that was me yesterday where you are right now. Its such a relief to see those lines progressing ❤ Sending you & your little bean happy & healthy hugs xx

Ashworth90 · 28/04/2020 07:07

@popcat120 thank you 😘😘 and that line looks real dark on one of those tests! I usually see them quite faint especially considering af due on Thursday. I’d say the same thing to you with your lines... beautiful and dark! Best of luck with telling your manager. You got this 🤞🏻💕🎉

Babytobe · 28/04/2020 07:07

Good luck with your manager @popcat120. Hopefully he/ she is supportive x

Ashworth90 · 28/04/2020 07:14

@babytobe thank you! Thank you! 😘😘🎉 loads of love to you and your little bean too! Xx

Infused · 28/04/2020 09:09

Morning ladies and Congratulations Ashworth, a really strong line!

So AF is due today, no sign yet. I just went to the loo and felt really wet (TMI sorry) and was fully expecting to see it but nothing.

After yesterday's test I am cautiously optimistic and the faint line does look a lot more prominent today but I don't know if that means anything.

I am going to force myself to wait until Thursday to retest 😬

Bic501 · 28/04/2020 09:30

Aw girls!! Look at those lovely strong BFP's!! Looking fab 😍 @Popcat120 good luck today with your manager but I would hope she would be nothing but happy for you xx

Well in my world I'm 13dpo today. Boobs defo not as sore but I feel off, but apps now say af due Thursday so pretty sure it will come. Also had a super shitty day @ work yesterday and I was just like I wanna know either way. So I came home last night and @12dpo at like 10pm last night I did a test and it was bfn. It was a frrr so I obviously ordered them by mistake instead of the early result 🙈 then I googled and apparently there sensitively is like 100iu/ml. So now I'm like aw well maybe I still have a chance. Head is fried 🤯 just gonna try keep myself busy and wait for AF now I think. My body has been so cruel this cycle 😞
Gonna order some more opks for the ready xx

Babytobe · 28/04/2020 09:51

@Bic501 & @Infused its still early for you ladies, dont give up hope! Keeping all fingers & toes crossed for both of you for Thurs positive news 🤞🤞💕 Thats 48hrs time. Defo much clearer picture by then xo

Ashworth90 · 28/04/2020 10:03

@Bic501 you definitely still have a chance! Those rapid ones are a lot higher sensitivity. Also, using a night time wee compared to fmu is also a game changer before af. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

@infused also fingers crossed for you too! 🤞🏻 I am looking forward to seeing your test on Thursday! Haha!

Popcat120 · 28/04/2020 11:54

So told my manager today, she guessed.
I said... I found out at the weekend...
She said... Your pregnant...! 😂

She congratulated me, then laughed and joked About lockdown babies!

She said to just take it easy, and avoid suspected or confirmed covid, and remove myself from those situations if they arise.

kirsteng04 · 28/04/2020 12:52

Morning ladies! Took a FRER today 12DPO and it was negative. Mehhh, husband and I are really gutted but it is our first month trying and we need to remember that. Isn't it funny that you can get your hopes up so much within a month!? My cycles are normally between 33/34 days long so due my period tomorrow or Thu. This was my first month using OPKs so at least I know what to expect next month. I'm just using one step cheapie from amazon, do any of you recommend the clear blue digital? Might use them and preseed as I didn't have a lot of CM this month. Hope you're all okay xx

Bic501 · 28/04/2020 12:57

@kirsteng04 I use the CB Digi opk and I really like them.

Babytobe · 28/04/2020 13:33

@kirsteng04 im sorry it was negative. But 12DPO is still early, dont give up home until about 15/16DPO. My line was barely visible at 12DPO, to the point I thought was a chemi or an evap line or something. Also incase AF does come, i highly recommend the CB digital ovulation kit. No faffing around wondering is it a line or isnt it. Its right there clear as day. My Obgyn said while they are expensive, only do about 3 in a row to get an idea what your body does coming up to and during ovulation. Then you can just temp etc thereafter if you want. Best of luck to you, lotsa babydust 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Infused · 28/04/2020 17:24

Hi Kirsten, I agree, don't lose hope. I also tested at 'I think' 12 DPO and the line was extremely faint. I won't test again now until Thursday by which point I'll be 2 days late, unless AF shows her face before!

I know how hard it is to wait but if you can just hang on until the weekend you will have a much clearer answer Smile

Infused · 29/04/2020 08:53

So I caved and tested again this morning Hmm I wish I had just waited until tomorrow!

The top one is Monday's test
Bottom is today. I feel like the dye has run a bit. What do you think?

I think I should go and buy a digital one today so I can find out for sure.

It's also a Numark pregnancy test and I've just read some bad things. It seems it is not the most trustworthy of brands!

Bic501 · 29/04/2020 09:14

@Infused those looks good! I love a Digi tho so defo go for it. I'm 14 dpo today, boobs not sore and feeling super crampy so think af is gonna show on time 😞 aw well, always next month. Have never had a cycle like this before, was sure there was something different, must of been the hormones. Just gonna wait now on af coming
