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 Thank you! 😊 now to wait for the results, whilst waiting to see if AF comes... always waiting these days haha!

@mrswilso ooooh I don't know?! Have you got photos of the test to compare to the other peak? See which is darker?

@fran2020 it's definitely not as dark as my proper peak that was much darker than the control...but it is probably as dark as the control...not by much to the eye...
Think I might give hubby a nudge and a wink to make sure we don't miss it if it is a wee late bean and put my mind at rest 😉😂

@1992EM fellow rabbit owner here. I've had a few of those nights where ours hasn't been well and I've been up every 4 hours to syringe feed. At least it's good practice for sleepless nights with a baby! 🤞 Hope your rabbit is feeling better now.

@Littlebee1990 it's so frustrating when our cycles don't behave like they should! Hopefully you've managed to catch the egg if you have OVed already.

@Fran2020 hopefully those symptoms mean a BFP is coming 🤞

@mrswilso I've only just started with my OPKs so can't offer much advice. I'd definitely compare with the other peak. And keep DTD just in case.

@Kalecat hope you get a good night's sleep tonight!

CD10 for me. I have started OPKs on the off chance that I have a shorter cycle this time. But stark white so far. Not even a hint of a line! So think I'm going to be in for another longish cycle. If Femometer/Flo are correct with their 37 day prediction, AF is due 14th August. Ita my birthday on 10th so a BFP would be an amazing present!

@cd24 They are amazing pets but don't half give you heartattacks when they aren't well . She is a lot better today and getting back to her usual playful self.
@mrswilso Sorry first month using opks. I stopped testing after my smiley so might start again. I would dtd just incase you didn't ovulate the first time. Fingers crossed. I also read it can detect pregnancy but not sure how accurate that is x

Hi @Littlebee1990 just wanted to quickly say (as I remember seeing you unfortunately had a chemical las month) I had a chemical in May and I'm now on CD55 and believe I have only just ovulated about 9/10 days ago, I think I completely missed a whole cycle and I'm now where I should be if I hadn't of missed it (if that makes sense) sorry but just wanted to give you my experience, fingers crossed you have ovulated already though and just didn't realise! On another note I THINK I may have just got my BFP so fingers crossed the same happens for you 🤞🏼

@sle0911 Thank you so so much, good to know it’s happened to other people and my body is just sorting itself out. I hope you’ve got your BFP!! ❤️🤞🏼😍

@Littlebee1990 no problem! I think it's good to know other people's experiences, I didn't think it would muck my cycle up so much being only 4/5 weeks when it happened, but goes to show it can have a big effect! Thank you 😊 I hope you do too!! X

@sle0911 hopefully you've got a BFP! What kind of test did you take and when is AF due?

@sle0911 How did you track your cycle? Was you tempting or using OPKS or anything? I’ve had “high” on IC’s for a week but never got a peak. Only CD19 so perhaps I’m in it for the long haul this month too xx

@Kalecat it was a FRER I used and have had x2 faint lines, not going to re test until tomorrow though! Not entirely sure when AF due because of my looooong cycle this month, but if I hadn't have missed one then I'd say I'd be due on tuesday time, think I'm about 9/10dpo!

@Littlebee1990 no I only starting using OPKs when my last period didn't arrive as I wanted to see what was going on, had loads of Highs, and then my peak lasted for 4 days! Then they went low again! X

Absolutely everything crossed for you @sle0911. Xxx

Hi again guys, hope you are all well.

OPK help, trying not to stress. I've always ovulated day 15 (at least 3 years) with at least 3 high readings in the preceding days (CB Digital). Last month I didn't get a peak reading and now this months I've had low readings day 13, 14, 15 (today). The lines are so faint! I'm 32.

@beepbeep42 congratulations on your BFP .

I have a pink tinge when I wipe and light cramping today. It is far too early for AF (about 12 days ) and I didn't think I was far enough for it to be implantation (3 or 4 dpo) any insight ? I don't want to get my hopes up but also panicking that AF is playing tricks as it feels like AF cramps. 😔

@beepbeep42 sorry I have really mixed up the messages 😔 when did you start testing using opks and how long are your cycles normally ? X

@sle0911 congrats on your BFP , how many dpo are you ? 💕

@mrswilso yeah that is strange, did you manage to DTD just in case?! 😂

@cd24x I really hope it is but I don't want to get too hopeful! 🤞🏼

@sle0911 I know we talk on the other group but really hope it's your BFP and tomorrow's line is really clear!

@1992EM hmm that's strange, it does seem to early for implantation. You used OPKs to determine ovulation didn't you so that day should be about right?

@Fran2020 yeah I did . I haven't had anything since but did eat a lot of beetroot last night and now wondering if it was that 🤣🤣. The twinges are still there but have been since ovulation on and off. Honestly ttc sends you loopy. It wasn't until I looked in the fridge and remembered I had a fair bit with my dinner 🤣🙈.

I didn't @fran2020 😩 my wee sis is over in Australia and the time difference is killer, got caught up chatting to her on the phone and before I knew it, boom, 11.30pm 😭 we were both too tired.
My FMU is a much lighter line today, back to more baseline so I'm just crossing my fingers that it was just a little fluctuation. I'll do another few over the course of today probably to make sure I catch it if it sneaks back up to a proper peak again.
How are you feeling today? Did you get a better sleep last night?
How does everyone count dpo? Got my first peak Sunday, my proper 200% peak on Monday, counting OV as Tuesday so I'm 4dpo today right? Or should I count from the first peak?

It's lovely and sunshine-y in Scotland this morning 🌤 hope everyone is feeling good and having a great start to the weekend!

Hi all, sorry for the radio silence. We went to my parents last weekend and then had this week off as both feeling rather burnt out! Somewhat more refreshed now although I did have a little bit of a work panic yesterday when I foolishly checked my email. I get totally paranoid about things like that and worry that the short bout of stress has ruined my chances this month!

@Littlebee1990 sorry to hear your cycle is being a pain. It sounds like it is just taking a little while to reset after last month but that doesn’t make it less frustrating!

@sle0911 congrats on the bfp! I hope the line progresses well.

I’m now CD21 and 6dpo. I’ve had the odd twinge but no real symptoms yet. I guess it’s rather early still. AF due on the 27th and not planning to test unless she’s late.

@mrswilso I got my static smiley last Saturday morning (the line was very dark when I pulled it out of the tester) and I’m assuming that I ovulated on Sunday (also based on EWCM which dried up by Monday). So I guess I use a combination of things. Plus my cycles are most typically 30 days and I think I have a fairly consistent 14 day luteal phase.

Has anyone tried yoga legs up the wall as a general fertility aid (apparently to send blood flow to the right parts) - not just post dtd?

@1992EM ahhh yes I think beetroot can do that yeah 😂 I've had twinges pretty much since then too. TTC really does, who knew!!!

@mrswilso I can understand that! Where in Australia is she? I love it over there!
Hmmm yeah it was probably just a fluctuation like you said but keep checking just in case. 😊
I think I slept better but still woke up a bit in the night and feeling tired today. Also feeling headachy, sicking and got weird feelings in my tummy.
Well my first peak day was definitely darker than my second peak day so I assumed I ovulated the day after the first peak. As your second peak was darker, I would say you ovulated the day after that. But it's all estimates really!

@Dinosaurus86 I do a 15 min fertility yoga session every morning and the last pose is legs up in the air! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks @fran2020 @dinosaurus86 - I think I'll stick on 4dpo today then ✨
Shes in Queensland @fran2020 I've never been over myself but she's definitely settled there now by the looks of things so I'm looking forward to some holidays down under in the future!

Sorry that should say CD22!

Thanks @Fran2020 - think I might have to add fertility yoga to my routine!

@Fran2020 I feel like such a dafty. It was definitely beetroot 🤣🙈. At least I've got to the bottom off it as far too early for implantation as I am only 3 or 4 dpo. It's going to be a long tww.

I never thought about doing legs in the air other than after dtd. May start that too and add it to my list of crazy ttc antics . My oh just shakes his head now. He can't understand why I continue to drink the grapefruit juice even though I hate it 🤣.
