24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)

[Wyewaving]

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)

@littlebee1990 Have everything crossed for you 💕. I am also CD12 but only a faint line on a IC this morning but is darker than yesterday so hopefully on the right track to ovulation.
@Foodie2020 there is such a lack of understanding with Vit b12 and it's so common . I had to really fight to be tested around 3 years ago and it came back incredibly low. I then was on pills for years on and off as they would only give me them till it was high enough then stop it . I then had to fight to get the injection and now been getting that around a year . It has made such a difference . I hope you get your peak soon . 💕.
@nottherealslimshady He has agreed to tomorrow night as he is then off monday to Thursday so he will be busy, busy 😂. I agreed as I know I won't peak before then .

@Foodie2020 yes 12 weekly was no good for me either. At my old gp I got it down to monthly but at my new place had a fight to get them at all, although have eventually managed to get them reinstated at six weekly which is better than most. I think at least eight weekly is recommended if you have neuro symptoms. Sounds like you definitely need them if it runs in the family.

@Littlebee1990 yay! I’m cd 15 and got my peak this morning! Dtd but now off to my parents. Will try to sneak another session there but if not hopefully this morning will be enough...

Interestingly the CB tester has pretty much confirmed what I thought about my cycle - ovulating CD15-16 - and follows EWCM for me pretty clearly. I have had more this month drinking the grapefruit juice. So not sure I’ll test next month as it’s expensive!

@Dinosaurus86 That was perfect timing for your peak . 💕

I'm back after taking a break for the last 2 weeks on here! I'm so confused, I had a positive OPK on the 12th June, then what I thought was implantation bleeding on the 20th June for 2 days which was light spotting on and off but I'm still getting bfn, I've also been doing OPK's just incase the super light spotting was AF which I really don't think it was coz it was way too light for me and I'm still only getting low OPK's all this time later has anyone had anything like this before? Feel like I'm going mad AF was due 26th June

FINALLY got AF today .. CD38. It was an anxiety inducing time for me. BFNs and no sign of AF. I was never on BCPs, and had fairly regular periods. I did get in touch with my GP though, she was quite reassuring 🙂 Asked me to get my thyroid checked. So I'm booked in for a blood test next week. I was never so happy to meet AF as I was this month 😂 But then, hopefully next month is "the" month for us 🤞🏻 However, now my cycle is completely disrupted 😒

I’m glad she finally appeared for you @nervousnoob - a relief even if it’s not the bfp we all want.

Thanks @1992EM! I was hoping it would be this morning before we left or otherwise that it would hang on until Monday!

@bumbleegum20 Sorry to hear you haven't got any answers. I had a random month where bleeding was super light and only lasted about 36 hours . Know idea why it happened but my cycle went back to normal the next month . Hope it is the same for you and I would keep doing the opks to check. 💕

@Nervousnoob Glad you have finally for your answer and can move on to your next cycle 💕 good luck 💕

@dinosaurus86 You might still be ovulating when you get back as mine identify the 2 best days so I would keep dtd when you get back just incase. Although not sure how it all works as first month using them and not got a smiley face yet . Think I will be very excited when i see that 😂.

We managed to dtd last night and hopefully get a postive opk soon .

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Nothing much to report here but i keep checking in to see how you all are. Due to ovulate next weekend. Not DTD since Tuesday trying to hold out but as same time worried about early ovulation even though im always regular

@nervousnoob I used to have that when i first came off the pill. Id be worried my lining wasnt thick enough but after a few months they got heavy again. So I wouldn't worry. Light periods are completely normal mine are different now than my teenage years our bodies just change xx

@nervousnoob forgot to add ive had random ones as well. Once when i was stressed for a presentation to the point i did a test even though we were using protection x

Hey, how is everyone? sorry I've been quiet but not much to report right now! I'm about 3 DPO. Feeling really positive and not going to obsess over every symptom. Just record it on the app. My first acupuncture session last week was really good and made me feel so relaxed. I have my next one on Wednesday! Still doing the fertility yoga every morning which I am still loving! xx

@fran2020 I'm BUZZING! I got my first ever peak OPK just now! 🤩
Glad to hear you're letting it go with the symptom spotting - I'm finding it easier to just track them without reading too much into it each cycle. How does the acupuncture feel btw? Can you feel any pain with the needles?

@mrswilso Yay! That's really good you got a peak!! 😊
Thanks, yeah me too! It felt weird but not painful! Definitely worth a try!

Doing well! Not much to report, just entered fertile week and waiting for peak OPK! should be Tuesday or Wednesday, so just continuing to DTD.
AF due 29th so won't be testing early as I got a random BFP on 2 tests at 8dpo last cycle and obviously I'm not pregnant so. I'd rather wait 😂

@Kalecat That's good you're in your fertile week now! Good luck!!
Hmmm yeah I don't want to test early either, as after 13 cycles seeing an early positive which then doesn't stick would completely destroy me and I've been feeling so optimistic recently! 😊

@Kalecat That's good you're in your fertile week now! Good luck!!

@Fran2020 Glad you enjoyed the acupuncture and are feeling relaxed about this cycle.
@Kalecat good luck , I am also in my fertile week. Hopefully get a postive around wednesday.

CD13 today. Opks today are definitely getting darker which is a good sign. Hopefully get peak around Tuesday or Wednesday .

@mrswilso YAY for the peak!
@Fran2020 The acupuncture sounds great. Hope you’re feeling good from it

CD13 for me today & my OPKs are getting darker 🤞🏼🙌🏼 Apps saying 16th (CD17) will be my peak so will be interesting to see if it’s right!

Morning, hope everyone's ok. 4dpo here and no symptoms at all, I know it's too early for implantation but this time last month I had massive tender boobs and light cramping. So weird. Just hoping DTD every other day works for us.

Hi everyone 🤗 cd16 for me and I got static smiley yesterday. Have DTD yesterday and today, didnt manage it earlier in the week as DH has been working. Hopefully getting both static days will be enough 🤞

@Fran2020 the acupuncture sounds great. I will definitely consider it in a few months if I'm not pregnant by then!

@Littlebee1990 OPKs looking good! Lots of legs up the wall to come for you!!

I've been listening to the BFN podcast and finding it really helpful, funny and reassuring!

@DoctorBambino ooh I need to have a listen to that podcast!

CD17 for me now. Got my static smiley on CD15 and dtd then. We didn’t manage to yesterday at my parents but will tonight! Though I suspect ovulation was yesterday. Do you normally test with the CB after ovulation - is it supposed to go back to the blank circle? I haven’t tested since getting the static on Saturday morning.

Glad the acupuncture was good @Fran2020!

@Dinosaurus86 I don't think you're meant to test again after the static but I'm actually planning to this month just out of curiosity! Will have to wait til tomorrow as it's still smiling away 😁

@DoctorBambino I would suspect you ovulated yesterday but could still catch it today. I tested again after the static smiley went off just to confirm it went back down, mainly because my app told me to.

I have got my first positive opk today on both IC and CB. We dtd the past 2 nights and will again today . Hopefully will be enough.

Anyone else find OPKs confusing sometimes? 😂 took a photo of my strip today after 3 minutes and then 13 minutes and it went from 0.38 to 0.31 even though the line in the photo is clearly darker after 13 minutes. And the line from 12th at midnight is just as dark as today's line. TTC is so fun isn't it lol.
Oh well, expecting peak tomorrow or Wednesday!

@kalecat I don't use those ones but yesterday mine weren't that dark and today I peaked and it showed in seconds on the cheap one and I used CB to confirm. So you might find it peaks tomorrow x
