I hope @littlebee1990 doesn't mind me starting a new thread as our old one was full...

Congratulations to @SK2970 who had just posted a positive test!

(Point me in the right direction if I've missed a new thread)

@nervousnoob it depends on when you ovulated. If you ovulated late then that would be why a pregnancy test is negative. If you ovulated early then the test should show a positive.

Only if the sperm and egg implant 😊

That kinda makes me think whether or not I should be investing in OPKs 🤨 Keep getting mixed answers

Whilstwewait · 29/06/2020 19:50

@Tokyo29 Did you use OPks to confirm ovulation? I think stress can delay ovulation causing longer cycles rather than extend the time between ovulation and AF. Ive beek stressed some months and ovulation has pretty much stayed the same so i don't think normal TTC stress would cause a delay x

Fran2020 · 29/06/2020 21:39

@DoctorBambino Thanks for the food list! I'll try to have some of those. 😊 Yeah, they will definitely make you healthier if anything!

@Whilstwewait what were you putting in your smoothies?

@sle0911 Sorry about your test! I hope you get an answer soon.

Nottherealslimshady · 29/06/2020 23:26

I haven't managed to keep up today, hope everyone's doing well! Starting OPKs tomorrow 🤞

1992EM · 30/06/2020 05:38

AF has arrived , if anything at least I am back to my regular cycles again. Off to order some ovulation tests to prepare for month 3.

Littlebee1990 · 30/06/2020 07:29

@1992EM Sorry she’s shown, I actually fell cycle 3 and cycle 2 was the confirmation my cycles were back to normal. Using the OPKS helped confirm ovulation and we DTD pretty much everyday from CD9 to CD17 to cover all bases. Good luck ❤️

mylittlebean2019 · 30/06/2020 08:40

@mrswilso did you test today? My bleeding stopped so I did and it was a BFN 🙁

@sle0911 did you take another test?

@1992EM @Nottherealslimshady @foodie2020 I’ve ordered extra OPKs so I can test twice a day, a thermometer and put my SMEP dates in the diary! Throwing everything at the next cycle!! For all the ladies continuing in July are you staying on this thread or have you joined a new one? x

Smushty14 · 30/06/2020 08:46

@1992em Sorry to hear that AF has shown her face 👎🏻 fingers crossed for next month for you!

I'm now CD32 and no sign of AF or a positive test. I thought for sure I was going to get a positive test after my coffee tasted awful yesterday! Even my sachet coffee didn't taste right so I couldn't blame the coffee machine 🤣

Nottherealslimshady · 30/06/2020 08:56

@mylittlebean2019 staying here with you ladies :)

I've done my first OPK today, got 20 test strips so I'll do one a day until I get a flashing smiley then twice a day. This is our month :)

sle0911 · 30/06/2020 08:56

@mylittlebean2019 I did test this morning and initially thought BFN but there is the faintest line there, it has pink to it and is in the right place and in the right time frame, but not getting my hopes up at all, I've read lots about FRERs having these lines, although looked at yesterday's test and can't see one in the slightest, so we will see! X

Nottherealslimshady · 30/06/2020 09:01

Just did one of the clearvlue digital OPKs with the strips that you take out and got this on the actual strip, showed as low which I think is right but theres like leakage, is that ok?

24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)
Fran2020 · 30/06/2020 09:16

I'll be here with you all for next month too! Next AF due around 23rd July.

kate123cl · 30/06/2020 09:20

@Nottherealslimshady I think that's fine... did you wee on it or dip it? Lol. One of mine on the flashing smileys shown like this I just ignored it and tested again in the morning! Unless you're expecting to ovulate tomorrow or really soon then I wouldn't worry too much x

1992EM · 30/06/2020 09:29

@Littlebee1990 Thank you. 3rd time lucky. I think I am going to follow your advice and dtd everyday , with legs in the air during (during ovulation week). I have downloaded the Flo app as well and order clear blue and cheaper ovulation tests. Going to be a lot more open with my oh about it all and try to involve him so he knows when that week is. I think he is feeling the pressure from it all. Hope you are keeping well and thank you so much for starting these threads. You have no idea how much is has helped me over the last 2 months 💕.

@Mylittlebean2019 If there is a new thread, I would love to be apart of it. 💕

@Smushty14 Thank you, fingers crossed it's late implantation and you'll get your BFP soon 💕.

@Realslimshady Sorry I am not sure how they work but on the Amazon reviews it just said an invalid one was if the control panel wasn't there at all. It just looks as if it has leaked the ink on that one 💕.

Littlebee1990 · 30/06/2020 09:35

@1992EM I was so honest with my OH and he was fully involved and knew exactly what was needed, I think that helped hugely as it really felt like we was in it together. The thread helped me hugely and I’m going to stick around for sure, just hoping this little bean sticks.. I’d love to be tagged in the new thread whoever sets it up .. 26 days until early scan ❤️🤞🏼

kate123cl · 30/06/2020 09:37

@1992EM Another vote for dtd every day here. We dtd from 6th-20th! Also used Flo and Clear Blue digis and cheap ones to test in between. Legs high in the air straight after for a while too. I laid down on my front after that too so not sure if that's helped! X

peonyrose87 · 30/06/2020 09:47

@1992EM I'd go for DTD every day if you can too, we did that this last month and I put my hips up on a pillow for ten mins after and I got a BFP! Good luck

1992EM · 30/06/2020 09:49

@Kate123cl Thank you, I am loving the flo app and the fact you can record symptoms so I don't obsess with them. Have opks arriving tomorrow and will start testing at the weekend. Hope you are keeping well 💕

@littlebee1990 I am so glad you are going to stay and I am sure your little been will make themselves nice and comfy in there. 26 to the early scan is amazing. Good luck 💕

1992EM · 30/06/2020 09:51

@peonyrose Thank you, hopefully oh is agreeable 😂 I am sure he will be. I think involving him will help too x

Nottherealslimshady · 30/06/2020 10:34

@kate123cl I dipped it, not expecting to ovulate for a few days so I'm not overly concerned. I did kinda get it stuck when pulling it out so might have damaged it myself!

@1992EM I'm doing the same, DTD every day, bum on our guest spare pillows afterwards. I dont want to put too much pressure on DH but he has been paying attention to my ovulation testing and what it means so I'm quietly confident :)

Ck236 · 30/06/2020 10:58

Hey ladies

Congrats to everyone who had BFPs!

My Period is due this weekend and I’m so scared to test. I didn’t have much symptoms, like tender breasts and a few twitches a few days ago. I have also been feeling pretty tired but my bbt is a mess (only been tracking prob since CD15).

Should I give in and test? Should I not?

It’s so weird some of the symptoms are defo the same as the period symptoms? Or is it my idea?

Foodie2020 · 30/06/2020 11:08

Hi Ladies, I'm a little nervous with using the OPK's but been looking at my cycle and it is 25 days so AF is due on the 22nd/23rd. Would be really nice to know who is staying on this thread, moving onto the third incarnation of this. I do find the names a little overwhelming to keep up with I must admit, lol.

As I've not OPK before it would be really to get feedback from the ladies who are as I'm new to this. @Littlebee1990 @Fran2020 @1992EM @mylittlebean2019

Littlebee1990 · 30/06/2020 12:50

I’ve started bleeding really heavy ladies, called the early pregnancy unit and waiting for a call back but I’m not feeling like it’s going to be good news, will report back 🤞🏼😭❤️
