AF Due 20/07

Continuation from thread AF due 20/06

@candycrush2298 we BD on Thursday night.... :( I've not had a test which has come back with my peak though so this is why I'm so confused :(

@ReginaaPhalange like we said its possible you haven't ovulated this cycle. From time to time women just don't ovulate for whatever reason. If you didn't ovulate now its possible your body will to ovulate again in a few days so you may still go high again on your OPKs. Which is why some women with PCOS have long and irregular cycles. I dont know enough about it to give any advice but I suggest you do your research to try understand the possibilities.

@ReginaaPhalange That looked high to me as well. With the app I find depending on the way you take the photo the score it gives you is different. Mine always look high throughout the month they never really get gradually darker or anything like that. I just suddenly get a peak.

I wonder if you accidentally missed your peak due not testing enough, how often in a day did you test?

@candycrush2298 Yep definitely need to start temping you’ll also know you’re pregnant before any tests show a positive I think.

@Elakiya yes as we will hopefully - if we do it right and actually temp on time and everyday - see the implantation dip I keep reading about haha!!!

So this morning i caved and did a test haha!! Of course its negative 😂😂

HI all

AF is due on 21st for me. We've been ttc for over a year and a half and been going through fertility tests the last 2 months or so

I had a question on my cycle. This month I got the high fertility symbol on my clear blue ovulation tests and then peak. Hurrah!
Immediately after my peak I got a low fertility - which made sense to me.

But this morning I checked (5 days after getting peak) and it gave me a high fertility symbol. Anyone any guesses?

@Kaybobx

So this morning i caved and did a test haha!! Of course its negative 😂😂

So tempted to do the same!! I'm going to do an early test on Saturday. I've a good feeling about this month which I haven't had in a long time. Fingers crossed!!

@Kaybobx whahahahah!!! Its just too tough to resist the urge!!! Mine is still negative. Only weird thing is everything about AF has just stopped. No more pains, no more back ache no more white ewcm. My cm has just gone sticky. Verrrry weird hahah. I thought after the poop pain, the white ewcm thats me its coming today for sure. Now I am just like you really are a witch you just love messing with me hahahha.

@TTCandImpatient hiya!!! There's a reason we should not test with opks after we have gotten a positive because during our luteal phase we fluctuate and get highs and lows. @Kaybobx have discovered this the hard way. LOL!!!

If you got a peak and you BD on the right days then whoop whoop anything is possible. How many dpo are you?

@TTCandImpatient yeah we started doing the testing after the peak and stressed ourselves out. It fluctuates during your cycle so its absolutely normal and means nothing. Once you get your peak on CB it will stay a static smiley for 48hrs and wont let you test again. After 48hrs it goes back to the O. I use these tests too alongside cheap strips.

@candycrush2298 ooo hopefully thats a good sign! Are you going to test with a FRER again? Im tempted to buy one but dont want to waste another £8 haha

Eeeek 10dpo today and a vvv faint line, it was like this for my last pregnancy at this time too so have my fingers crossed for a stronger line in the next few days!

@Elakiya I've been testing twice a day since CD8 lol. Surely my peak isn't that short 🤣🤣🤣

@Kaybobx nooooooooo!!! I have bought cheapies after cheapies and bought more opks when I didnt need them. Now I am sitting with hundreds bought easy@home test strips. No ways I have spent far too much. I have CB triple check so if I were to get positives on the cheapies then I would start using the CB. But no more spending money. Hahahaha. I'm done spending money for this month and should have enough for next month as well as I will be using the CB monitor tests and the easy@home alongside. I have pro matris opks too but I am not sure I want to use those LOL!!!

@littletandme even!!! Omg I see the line!! Thats amazing please let us know if it gets darker holding thumbs and whispering congratulations. Eeeeeek!!!!

@littletandme woohoo! Congratulations 🥳

@candycrush2298 haha i don't blame you. You sound like you've got chemist in your bathroom as it is 😂 ive been reading the reviews on amazon for the one step tests i have and every single one is bad! Not left me with much hope

@Kaybobx yeah like seriously. Way too much LOL!! Must have spent like £30 on tests this month whahahaha!!!

Ahhhhh noooooo really that sucks. What would you rather do buy a box of reputable cheapies like Wondfo, Femometer, easy@home or a two pack FRER??? Like for you personally whats better? Or just use the one step and see if they pick anything up? How many tests do you have of them? I found some one step pg tests amongst my beauty products box I have - I went to get another bottle of conditioner and was like hang about where do these come from hahah. I hate them because they ultra thin. (Not the same as yours but looked up mine and the reviews were absolutely terrible whahaha)

For me I obviously want the FRER but feel like I am wasting them every month whahahaha!!

@candycrush2298 thank you!! I'm 4 DPO. That makes me feel a lot better!
I marched the other half and told him to buckle in for some BD'ing alright. And we'll keep it going now every 2nd day until AF arrives/doesn't arrive but appreciate the clarity! :)

@Kaybobx Amazeballs thank you! Thought i was going mad!!

@TTCandImpatient you're welcome. Good luck and keep us updated. Are you a serial tester or do you wait until you have missed AF before testing?

I stupidly tested this morn and got a negative - but I'm only 6-7 days po. Gonna try not test again till sat morning.

@candycrush2298 i just went to Tesco and had a browse at the tests hahaha!! They only do CB ones for £10, not a lot of people rate blue dye pregnancy tests plus the FRER is only £7 on Amazon. Agreed these one step ones are so flimsy! It looks like they have tiny dents where the line should be aswell which is annoying. Would you recommend the easy at home ones then? I think I'll order some cheap ones today

@snapple21 don't worry you're not stupid, I did that as well.... so did @Kaybobx so please youre not alone 🤣🤣🤣

@Kaybobx definitely would rate them its £8 for 20 pg tests (or £15 with 50opks and 20pg tests) on Amazon and they are wide and strong not flimsy at all. No indents no strange scrape marks on them and definitely no false positives 🤣🤣🤣

LOL I was browsing Home Bargains yesterday and also stopped at the pg test section and I saw the CB and FRER plus other cheapies and I was like no, not today Satan 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

I know about the blue dye and how bad they are which is why I bought them a while ago when they were on special on Amazon to use way after missed period. It has the CB digital in the pack too. But yeah 100% would not be using those to feed my poas addiction especially early!!! Lol!!!

Yeah if I were you I would buy easy@home they a little cheaper than femometer and wondfo but great in my opinion. And of course if you really want to buy some more FRER as well.

@snapple21 I'm 7DPO and tested too, not sure why haha!!

@candycrush2298 my hubby is working from home tomorrow so i won't order them tonight. Yes I'm actually hiding these tests from him haha!! I'll go for the easy at home tests, the reviews are mixed just had a nosey but then again it's the same with the FRER. I feel like AF type cramps today, i hope thats implantation and not the cowbag flowa

@Kaybobx I know the reviews are always mixed. LOL. I know some of the others on here are using Femometer tests and loving it. Think its Elakiya thats using them if I am not mistaken not sure about the reviews on those probably just as mixed lol!!

Oooooh lets hope thats some implantation going on. You had any other symptoms? Besides the nips.

Whahahahaa thats hilarious!!! And its funny because I do the exact same thing except my easy@home came when hubby was home oh well he didn't say anything whahahah. What would your husband say?

The way I felt from the night of 10dpo through to 12 dpo (last night) was 100% AF feeling no idea if implantation can take more than a day Dr Google is not very clear on the answer lol!!
Oh and beecause I am weird I took a picture of my milky ewcm (after stretching it between my fingers I wiped on toilet paper and took a photo) and noticed a brown speck and I mean I had to crop the photo and zoom to see what it was lol. So dont know but hoping that was an implantation speck whahahahah!! I know I am grasping at straws and that by now I should have had a feint line but its like I literally cannot help but holding onto hope until AF shows up.

@candycrush2298 yeah you can't please everyone, there will always be mixed reviews on everything 🤣
Oh he wouldn't say anything, I'm more worried about what he'd be thinking haha.

When did you notice the brown speck, today? Do you usually get that? Could be implantation, although Dr Google says that it happened 6dpo - 10dpo. But then again you may of ovulated late. Keep testing girl.

Im getting really fed up of waiting now. How we do this every month I'll never know!

@Kaybobx whahahaha yeah i do wonder what goes through their minds whaha.

Nooo brown speck was last night. You see how contradictory the info is on Google as when I search it says implantation is between usually between 6-12dpo and then a pg test will only pick it up 3-4days after that. But who the hell knows my luck its nothing whahahaha and af is on her way.

And no I start spotting as I'm starting her. So when I see spots when I wipe I know she has arrived lol.

And this wasn't even a spot 🤣🤣
