@MichT4 hallo Loki🥰

@MichT4 oh hello Loki, you are certainly very cute ❤️ xx

Hi Guys, new to mumsnet! I've just written my 1st post but not had any response yet, is there anyone here who could take a look at my ovulation tests and tell me if they're positive or negative? I've never used tests before, my last 3 babies were all surprise babies 😂 I'm not quite sure how to post a photo! TIA xx

@KatiePlus3 hello! When you write a message, there should be a paper clip? You can add them there and we can take a look xx

@MichT4 hello Loki 🥰🥰🥰 so so cute! Enjoy Loki! Xxx

@MichT4 I'm on my phone and theres no paper clip :(

@KatiePlus3 I think if you are new to mn you need to wait 24 hours before being able to upload photos x

@Lollol86 I'm on my google chrome browser I've just downloaded the mumsnet app and it says I can add a photo :) bare with me xx

so this is my post.....

Hi Guys! New to mumsnet! Long story short, I have 3 beautiful children who are 8, 4 and 2, me and my partner decided at the end of last year we would like our 4th and final baby to complete the family before I turn 30 and move on to the next chapter :) well fast forward to february this year I lost our baby at 8 weeks classed as a missed miscarriage and needed the vaccum (whilst awake, new procedure) to remove fetus and tissue. Since then we have been trying and taking a relaxed approach and just using my phone to track ovulation and weve had no luck! I've now moved on to ovulation tests and have no idea what I'm looking for and wondered if I could post a photo for you guys to look at and tell me if they're positive or negative! But I have no idea how to even post a photo! Any help would be appreciated! :) xx

@KatiePlus3 so sorry for your loss, there's still no picture attached. Can you see the paper clip when you type a comment? Xx

ive added photo twice now and its still not showing :( sorry guys. hopefully theyre positive x

The app im using shows 3 boxes along the bottom with + signs and lets me choose a photo to add i choose one and press send but its not appearing on the chat :/ xx

Ladies I’m none the wiser with my OPKS. See pic. Fluctuating so much. I did have 0.5ml of bubble tea half hour ago so not sure if that’s dilated it. I have noticed some white stretchy cm. So I’m thinking it’s on its way but very gradual lol. Will just do OPKS when I wake up tmr morning I think as I wouldn’t have been to the loo or had anything to drink for 6 or so hours xxx

@Firevie I would suggest doing one in morning SMU but not drinking anything. From your test yesterday I would say you were looking at peak yesterday/today but please don’t take my word for it as I use the CBD in addition to these ones you’re using just because I never trust my own interpretation of these ones. I’m sure the other ladies will advise more confidently xxx

@HappyVibes thank you! Usually BBT should drop though right? My premom app hasn’t identified a peak yet and I think it’s a peak once it hits 1?! Last time it identified a peak at 1.85 but having said that I hadn’t tested any previous days before I got the 1.85 result. On Thursday I hadn’t yet ovulated as my doctor would have told me. She said I was still a few days off ovulation. But you’re right I will do a test first thing in the morning. Hopefully that will be clearer. Xxx

@Emsnewmum I'm not sure about ovulation... hopefully if no bfp then af will appear over the next few days and then at least you will know where you are with things 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

@MrsK21 Ooh fingers crossed 🤞🏼 I really hope it's a good sign! That's strange - I would go with 6dpo! Xx

@MichT4 Aww Loki is gorgeous!! 💖💖

@KatiePlus3 Hello, welcome and I'm really sorry for your loss 💖. I'm not sure what's happening with the pictures... is it the paperclip that you are clicking on? Xx

@Firevie Im useless at interpreting opks! I just use the CB so I know for certain what's happening and I just do one a day with FMU. I think BBT only drops pre ovulation for some women - some women won't see a drop but everyone should see their temp rise afterwards. I hope someone else can answer your question about the lines!! Xx

@Northernsoul90 lol I know it’s so weird with these cheap OPKS but they worked fine along with BBT last time so was just going by that. My Cb ones are at home in London lol
I guess my doctor said on Thursday she could see the. Follicle and that it would be couple of days/next week until I ovulate. Ugh this is so confusing! Just want it to be tmr morning now so I can test again haha. Cm is def creamy sticky and I just googled as I’m useless with cm so I guess it’s an indication for pre ovulation? Xxx

@Firevie as you only tested once yesterday early on if I was going to guess I'd say you peaked last night and ovulating today or tomorrow, hopefully it's actually tomorrow/Monday and then maybe you could just catch it on Tuesday when you're home x

@KatiePlus3 sorry for your loss...is your test line stronger than the control line? If it is then it's a positive test if it's just a bit lighter, I'd keep testing every 4-6hrs to catch it.

@gizmo167 sorry that pre AF is being cruel, hope you've had loads of time to rest today x

Evening ladies, have just caught up on everything from yesterday 💕

@2020wish that's great, let me know how you get on with them. I've booked myself in for another private scan Wednesday to see if I'm likely to ovulate this cycle, and I have another set of bloods that my doctor is doing for me. Then my gynae appt is on 6th October. X

@Hayley19835 are you doing OPKs this cycle? Exciting that you're going into FW feels like the most productive time!

@gizmo167 what was the ovarian drilling like? What's the recovery time?

I hope it is a positive for you with all these symptoms, it is alot to deal with when you're suffering with alot of emotional pain. Be kind to yourself and let yourself grieve for these moments. When my due date of my lost pregnancy came around I was a mess so, I can sympathise Xx

@Pugprincess beautiful scan pic, so amazing that you heard a heartbeat must have been such a relief! 💕

@Wishingfornumber2 hey🥰 lovely to hear from you. So weird that it says that it definitely should be the cycle day. So if it says 11 then Cd11 for sure otherwise you'd definitely miss it!

@Diorissimo1985 how are you feeling? Positive that HCG still rose, some people do rise more slowly anyway the limits are so so vast. I hope all keeps going okay!! ❤️

@Pancakes7 definitely keep positive there's no reason why it couldn't be this month! You have just good a chance xx

@chloedancer897 I hope you are feeling better today. Have you tried having a long bath with lavender? Also there's this balm from LUSH called sleepyhead or something along those lines that is meant to be really good.

Welcome @GanderousGoose wishing you lots of luck for this cycle! So sorry to hear about your losses ❤️ we are a chatty bunch here so you will be in good company xx

@susiebluebell good luck with your move!! That is a long way, but sounds amazing to move near the coast. X

@SmileyT princess and the pea, I love it!! 😂 Brilliant news that all was perfect with your scan. Your little baby is all snug and happily growing 💕💕

@Emsnewmum I'm glad you have some time now to relax. When was the last time you tested? This seems to be happening alot, so annoying when you're in limbo. Thank you, it was a massive shock but now I have steps to move forward with it, thankfully xx

@Firevie the only thing I would say about the OPK is I would be cautious that peak would have shown in the evening yesterday at CD17 as you didn't test after 2pm. However if nothing changes with your BBT over the next day or so and CM only becomes like EWCM then maybe it is still to come! Xx

@MichT4 I am SO jealous of Loki, he is the absolute dream!!! 😍😍😍😍 Xx

@Firevie also with your OPK timings don't bother in the early morning. Try maybe 12/4/8pm for the next couple of days xx

Ugh thanks @VP91x and @SmileyT so annoying that I didn’t test yday evening as I was at home anyway !!! Actually looking at my BBT I had a drop on cd15. Have a look at the pic. And temp has been consistent for past 3days. The confusing thing is though that premom hasn’t updated its calendar prediction for ovulation and neither has it identified yesterday’s as a peak despite me having done two tests since. Premom did update everything last time as soon as I had my peak. Any knowledge on this?! Is EWCM clear or white?! Sorry I’m clueless when it comes to cm! Also I’m out tmr from 11.30am so Test at 11.30?! And not drink for two hours before?! Xxx

@SmileyT the test line is very very slightly lighter than the control line! Xx

Sorry bbt pic attached

@Firevie hmm going by OPKs I don't think the CD15 dip meant anything, modt like a fluctuation. I'm not sure about premom tbh, I know it is a little bit tempermental. I would definitely put your temps into Fertility Friend and the results from your OPKs negative/positive. It is very good at pinpointing ovulation.

Also fertile CM is very clear/can be a bit cloudy and slippery and stretchy like the consistency of an egg white (lovely!) haha xx

@VP91x thanks I think I will just do another test tmr. Did you think I should test first thing when I wake up or before I leave at 11.30am? I just told OH and he said let’s see tmr but that I shouldn’t stress cos we will have our baby and at least it’s good to know I’m ovulating on time / so early etc! And yes that’s what I’m grateful for but you ladies get it! When TTC every day seems like a lifetime so waiting for another month potentially is just ugh! Hopefully tmr morning my OPKS will go up again!!! Xxx
