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)

@1992EM @Littlebee1990 @DoctorBambino @Dinosaurus86 Thank you! 😊

Hi everyone. Just checking in. CD7 for me.

Not sure when to start OPKs this cycle. Clue app has me down as fertile week starting on Thursday 16th and is treating my cycle as 27 days. However both Femometer and Flo have me down as fertile week starting 24th and cycle as 37 days (due to my long cycle last time!)

Any ideas? I'm using femometer tests so have 50 in the box!

@cd24 I started using mine on CD7 . I have 30 day cycles . The opks told me to test on CD13 but that was the day I got my postive opk so glad I did it before or I might have missed it. My flo app has now altered my period date but I alway get it on day 30 so will see what happens. If you have used opks before you will have a better idea of your cycles. x

@1992EM Thanks! This will be first cycle using OPKs. I got the Femometer ones cause the app tells you when to use them, but I'm convinced if I wait until then, I'll miss it! So I might start POAS from Friday which is CD10 just to make sure I'm covered for both lots of ovulation predictions from the apps.

@cd24 I would start them earlier then as it was good to see the difference and it made the positive very clear . I used cheap ones and then the CB to confirm later once lines got a bit darker. Both showed ovulation on the same day so think I'll stick to the cheaper ones now as CB are so expensive x

Hope everyones doing good, 5dpo here and symptom spotting like crazy! Been feeling some pinching type feelings in my uterus but that could just be because I read about the pinching feeling during early pregnancy 😂

Had a crazy dream last night that me and DH had a massive crazy fight and I wanted a divorce!

Ooh that sounds hopeful @Nottherealslimshady! 1dpo here, due AF on 26th so 11 days to go! I've had my pineapple for the day 🍍

Now I just have to try to sit back and be patient...

How is everyone else?

I'm 5 DPO and have had weird feelings in my tummy. It's still so early as implantation usually happens from 6 DPO at the earliest. I'm just recording all the symptoms in my app and trying not to think too much in to them! 😊 I'm feeling really optimistic this month and not letting things get me down.

@DoctorBamino and @Fran2020 these both sound promising symptoms. What do you class as 1dpo . I got a positive opk yesterday. Still to do today's one but app is saying today and tomorrow I have high chance of getting pregnant so would Thursday be 1 dpo ?

@1992EM I have the CBFM which ends up giving me 2 peak days and then 1 high day. I say ovulate on the second peak day and so the high day is 1 DPO.

This is what it also says on fertility friend but I guess it is not completely accurate and I could be less DPO right now. 🤷🏻‍♀️ At least it's a rough idea!

Was yesterday definitely a peak OPK? If so, you may ovulate today or tomorrow. It's very variable!!

A peak yesterday should mean today is ovulation and tomorrow is 1dpo (or that's how my app calculates it) @1992EM

@Fran2020 yeah same, I'm putting it in and telling myself it's so I know for next month with that little voice in the back of my head whispering "there wont be a next month, you're pregnant" I feel pretty good today, had a really down day yesterday, feeling anxious and upset, and so awfully tired, felt half asleep all day then kept myself awake nearly all last night with anxiety.

@nottherealslimshady That's great, thank you . It is all so confusing. We dtd the past 3 nights and will again today and tomorrow just to be sure and then it's the dreaded 2ww. Going to have to get out and keep myself busy so I don't symptom spot 😂🙈 we will see how long that lasts.

@Nottherealslimshady Good way to be! Just record the information to help but keep positive and optimistic that it has happened! I'm so tired today, woken up at 5am last couple of mornings and not been able to get back to sleep. Glad you're feeling good today! Sorry about your down day yesterday and not sleeping well.

@Fran2020. Yeah I had a postive straight away on IC and then did a CB and got a smiley face . Did another IC there and it is fainter but still showed straight away . Not done a CB one yet today so will see if it is still a smiley face. Thank you, its confusing. I still need to get to the 30th before AF is due so a long way off. Hope you are keeping well x

@1992EM yeah you are probably ovulating today then or maybe tomorrow. I would say tomorrow is 1DPO for you. Stay chilled and distracted in the TWW, I know I am! Keeping very well thank you, just tired haha! Xx

@Fran2020 I have got another positive on CB and the IC is also positive but yesterday the second line was much darker than control . Today they match. Same with CB when I took it out . We will dtd tonight and tomorrow anyway just to be sure . Hope you manage to get a better night sleep tonight . X

@1992EM That's interesting! The line on my first peak was loads darker when I pulled it out of the monitor too. Good plan and 🤞🏼! Thank you, so do I!! xx

@1992EM that's an awesome streak, fingers crossed it works for you.
@Fran2020 hope you get a better sleep tonight, think I'm probably going to sleep as you're getting up lately!

I've had that same pinchingy type feeling most of the day today, kinda feels like ovulation pain, obviously googled it (my google history consists of "random thing early pregnancy"x1000 ) and it says it could be my ovaries reacting to an early pregnancy, so I'll hang onto that with the skin o my nails😂

@nottherealslimshady and @fran2020 I have random twinges which I assume is ovulation happening but as your past that I'm not sure , might be implantation.

@1992EM that'll be your ovulation happening, I had them the night of my peak, just after DTD so I was pretty proud 😂
but this feels very very similar but on both sides and more constant and milder. Ovulation was my right side. Google says ovary pain now could be the sign of implantation which would make sense since I'm at least 5dpo, maybe 6 based on when I had ovulation pain. But dont want to get my hope's up, AF due Tuesday-Thursday so we'll wait and see.

@nottherealslimshady Fingers crossed for you. 💕

Isn't it crazy what 24 hours can do? Look at that peak! 😍 I've made poor hubby DTD 3 days in a row lol! Hopefully I can one more time out of him tonight 😂

@Kalecat That was exactly like me too. We have also dtd 3 days and have already told him he has another 2 days to go . Although app is now saying 3 😂😂 I have told him he can have a break after that x
