@butterfly5291 I’m testing tomorrow at 10dpo. I always fully expect a negative so I’m never that down about it. Plus I have a ton of ic strips haha.

I’ve attached my corrected chart (did it on Femometer cos I didn’t want to lose my actual temps)

Athough it’s given me a completely different day for ovulation 3 days after my peak so that’s not right either 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

butterfly5291 · 01/09/2020 18:36

@LT103 I'd put the adjusted ones in fertility friend and original in femometer. Does look like you've spiked back up though which is a good sign.
Fingers crossed for us tomorrow morning!

LT103 · 01/09/2020 18:37

I’ve found Femometer never gets my ovulation date right. Even on cycles where I’ve had pain/spotting so know I’ve ovulated. This cycle I had neither unfortunately.

Think I’ll just see what happens tomorrow now haha

Crayon7 · 01/09/2020 18:53

For me femometer works correct but I do use OPKs too. I use both fertility friend and femometer

Crayon7 · 01/09/2020 18:54

@LT103 you can override ovulation day though.

Crayon7 · 01/09/2020 18:55

I find that spikes are more visible on ff though.

Both apps given me different coverline though 🤷🏻‍♀️

@CAG14 I get ovulation twinges on my right side every month, I have the same thoughts as you and always wonder if i will only be able to conceive every other month. Hopefully it doesn't mean anything and we just reading into to much. If I conceive anytime soon will let you know if it was on my left side lol

@Stabal easily done, old habits die hard, and when you have to go you've got to go. on the bright side tomorrow you will be another day further on and hopefully will see a darker line with a sticky bean :)

@stepmumSW5 such strong lines :) it will sink in soon. You must be so excited

@Crayon7 @mrsgtobe97 Good luck testing next few days FX for you, it can be such a hard long testing process, but as they say good things come, to those who wait. just got to hold on in there will be worth it in the end hopefully.

For me knowing there is always other options in the long term helps whether it be GP tests, IVF, surrogacy or adoption. I'm no where near giving up on TTC but knowledge and options is power and keeps me strong and level headed each month.

CAG14 · 01/09/2020 19:16

@stepmumSW5 @Stabal oh that is interesting to know. It is weird I only ever feel it on one side. Good luck for tomorrow @Stabal I hope it is good news!

@Iloveoreos that's weird as I had pain under my rib yesterday but thought it was just because I slept funny! But I ovulated yesterday.

I would feel better if I had even chance of IVF if I need to, I can't as I have very low BMI all my life and can't put on weight:/ and for IVF you need to meet criteria so I feel more stressed as this is only option feels like and it's failing so far

CAG14 · 01/09/2020 20:31

@Happygolucky29 that is interesting you get that too. I never realised it was a thing until I started tracking. Been getting these twinges all the time and never knew what it was.

Ive had left rib pain on and off today.not too painful..just mild pain.ive got One step brands rubbish opk test which came up with a slightly lighter line than control line today.

Stabal · 02/09/2020 07:42

Hi all. Shit morning here. Woke and took my temp as normal and I had a huge temp drop to below cover line. Got up and took a test and it's a BFN. Dodgy IC tests, chemical? Who knows. I'm so done. Not working until this afternoon so away back to bed to wallow.

Livvi2021 · 02/09/2020 07:52

@Stabal I'm so sorry to hear that hugs Sad I have read that those ICs can sometimes be pretty crappy!

CAG14 · 02/09/2020 08:01

@stabal I'm so sorry. You have every right to wallow and look after yourself today. Those IC's are shit but it was a clear BFP so do you think it was a chemical or worth testing again with a different brand?

@Stabal I'm so sorry to hear 💐 take care of yourself today xx

butterfly5291 · 02/09/2020 08:20

@Stabal oh no! I'm so so sorry. What a pile of crap. So totally shit for you. I really hope you're ok. Sending big hugs xx

Crayon7 · 02/09/2020 08:48

@Stabal I am so sorry. I guess it's chemical, this is bad about testing early but I can't stop myself either 😞

mrsgtobe97 · 02/09/2020 09:46

@Stabal so sorry to hear, I've had 2 chemicals myself and it is devastating, look after yourself x

mrsgtobe97 · 02/09/2020 09:48

Waiting for FRER to arrive in the post so took a Tesco freedom cheapie and got this, did come up quickly but I'm not convinced, thinking it could be an evap

stepmumSW5 · 02/09/2020 09:54

@mrsgtobe97 wait a couple of days and test again. It's hard cause you don't know what dpo you are so it might just be super early to test.

Crayon7 · 02/09/2020 09:58

@mrsgtobe97 yeah I would wait few days too if you can and test again.

I swear I see indent lines on tests always and they make me hopeful but if no colour then mean nothing.

mrsgtobe97 · 02/09/2020 10:11

Yeah going to try and hold off, we last DTD on 20.08, and predicted ovulation day on Flo was 21.08 or 22.08, so I reckon if tests are negative on Friday / Saturday they're right, it's just odd I hate TTC😂😂

Livvi2021 · 02/09/2020 10:16

Ladies...can you see anything? I can either see a very very faint pink line or I'm imagining things. It's a frer from this morning.
