OPK peak??

Bouncytree · 20/10/2020 12:20

I can’t tell if I have peaked and missed it, or if I am yet to peak.

I was at 40% high one evening...but then back to low levels and fluctuating slightly since then. Back to 0% now. See picture

Could I have peaked overnight and missed it? Is that even possible? Are my LH levels just fluctuating as they go down? if I’m now at 0% does that mean The peak has passed?

Last few cycles testing I got very clear peaks 100-200%. So I am very confused by all this! We have been DTD every two days in case 😅😅😅

Can anyone shed on light on what might be happening? So confused 🤪

OPK peak??

Ladies! Not sure if you've seen this website but I saw it a last month, managed to lose the link & have just come across it!

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/early-pregnancy-symptoms/

It's got loads of useful facts about symptoms, likely hood of tests etc! Hope maybe one of you find it helpful x

Bouncytree · 02/11/2020 21:06

@Char899 🤦‍♀️ Was just googling there.,,thought you might be having a second peak. How are you doing today?

Lol I don’t do BBT for that very reason, I’d never get it measured the minute I was up as I’m always woken up!

@jessi60 you’ve had quite a time of it. House buying us so stressful and all the uncertainty of stop start must have been really unsettling. Hope your doing ok.

@Rachel93x

how are you doing? How are the symptoms?

ONG those cramps I had yesterday! Totally tripping me out. Started sun and then yesterday like full on AF pain lasting hours. The kind I take ibuprofen for. I thought can AF be on the way so early? Today gone.

Very Wierd experience. Had implantation cramps before, very mild. But I’m like what else can it be?? Eppp! Come on testing day!! We’d seems v far away right now

@Rachel93x oooh I’m excited about this site. Thank you

jessi60 · 02/11/2020 21:26

@Bouncytree yeah it’s been abit of a nightmare but kind of in the mindset now that I can’t do anything about it and it’s out of my control with this lockdown again.

@Rachel93x thanks for the site. Interesting. I did test today at 9dpo but wasn’t with an early response test. And technically that’s calculated off my withdrawal bleed so might not be accurate. But the site said only 47% would get a positive that early xx

Rachel93x · 02/11/2020 22:23

I'm glad you both liked that site, it's just interesting reading about symptoms etc!!

@Bouncytree omg, hopefully it a implantation cramps 🤞🏻 oh man, I thought your test day was tomorrow and I was so excited for you! Wednesday will be here so fast though! I have my fingers crossed for you! Do you feel 'pregnant' or any different this month?

Just my boobs and had the stabbing pain today & twinges in my right side! The twinges just feel like trapped wind but I did have them last month before the positive but think month I just feel out weirdly! Normally have cramps but havent 🤷🏼‍♀️ although last month with how strong my cramps were I knew something wasn't right (around AF due date, not the TWW - didn't want to panic you as yours seem perfect timing!) so maybe no longer having cramps is a good thing for me? God knows!

@jessi60 yes, I've read mainly people on here getting BFP from about 11 days on wards, don't get me wrong I see the odd 8/9/10 dpo but more later on in the cycle so fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻 i read all those stats last month when I found the the website! Also the symptoms and what ended more In pregnant or AF! I'm glad you've found another house, hopefully the searches are quick! Luckily solicitors can work from home 🤞🏻

jessi60 · 02/11/2020 22:39

Yeah it’s interesting isn’t it. But then people get no symptoms what so ever.
Yeah hopefully things will be fine with the house. Nothing I can do so need to relax 😂
I cleared the shelf in wilkos today of ovulation tests, my boyfriend was mortified and said I couldn’t take them all😂 to be fair you only get five in a pack haha xx @Rachel93x

Char899 · 03/11/2020 09:12

That site is great thanks @Rachel93x will you be testing today? 🙊

@Bouncytree all good thanks. 3dpo today so a long wait ahead for me! I’m the worst in the tww! I need to have some self control and wait until at least 9/10dpo! When are you testing?

Rachel93x · 03/11/2020 09:21

@Char899 no, I'm going to wait until AF is due - like maybe a couple days after if it doesn't, although I just feel no different and likely to be out this month 🙈

How are you feeling?

Char899 · 03/11/2020 11:51

@Rachel93x I’m the same, it’s early days but definitely don’t feel like anything going on! I’m going to try and hold out until af is due this month too. I spent a fortune on frers last month and really stressed myself out so don’t want that again!

jessi60 · 03/11/2020 12:09

Random question ... but do you girls all have good maternity packages with your jobs? I’m lucky enough that I will but I was shocked at how bad some jobs are for it and some you don’t even get anything 😧xx

Rachel93x · 03/11/2020 15:34

@jessi60 I get full pay for 9 months + 1 month holiday, so I count myself SO lucky!! My sisters got a 18 month old and she was living of maternity pay from the government!

jessi60 · 03/11/2020 15:40

Yeah that’s good isn’t it, I’m a nurse, nhs. Think I get full pay for 2 months and then it drops down to half pay. It’s not the best I guess but a lot better than some! Xx @Rachel93x

Rachel93x · 03/11/2020 15:46

@jessi60 2 months? I thought working for the NHS you'd get more, but it's definitely better than some! I only work for a water company in their accounts teams, so when I read the contract I was shocked!xx

jessi60 · 03/11/2020 15:50

Yeah I thought it was better than it is to be honest, would still have to work loads of extra shifts beforehand though to save money. But then i seen that loads of people don’t even get anything from their work. Xx @Rachel93x

Rachel93x · 03/11/2020 15:54

@jessi60 and does anybody ever have enough money for a baby anyway 🙊🤷🏼‍♀️ it's always manageable and when you want someone so bad, when it does happen we won't care about that!xx

jessi60 · 03/11/2020 15:59

@Rachel93x yeah your right and people in a lot worse situations cope just fine Xx

Bouncytree · 03/11/2020 19:49

@Rachel93x hard to tell...I always ‘feel Pregnant’...every month I’m TTC till AF arrives! 🤣 it really is so hard to tell. I’ve been PG 3 times now and each one completely different.

1st PG: pond water taste and sore boobs
2nd PG: pelvic pain
3rd PG: implantation camps and pelvic pain

So hard to tell! Still a mystery to me 🤷‍♀️

OP posts:
Rachel93x · 03/11/2020 19:55

@Bouncytree oh wow, they really are totally different symptoms each time!! It's test day tomorrow for you isn't it?

Bouncytree · 03/11/2020 20:01

@jessi60 lol that’s hilarious about buying the opks 🤣🤣🤣 I would be the same. You can buy a bumper pack of cheapies in amazon.

Yes early days @Char899....yes it’s just forever isn’t it! Yes been there with the frers too...you could use one every day till AF arrives.

@Rachel93x wow 9 months paid Mat leave is amazing. I get 6 months, that’s standard here in ireland. If your breastfeeding I think you need at least 8 months so 9 is great.

OP posts:
jessi60 · 03/11/2020 20:03

@Bouncytree now starting to think my 2 months full pay is in fact crap haha.

Yeah I think when I run out I’ll get them off Amazon 😂😂xx

Bouncytree · 03/11/2020 20:19

@Char899 and @Rachel93x ah sweet if you to think of me. Yes! Test day tomorrow.

Don’t know what to think at this point. Cramps came back and felt just like AF and I thought I’m out, but then felt nauseous And now they are gone again. Also possible metallic taste.

Definitely not my normal pattern...I just get consistent cramps and AF a couple of hours later. So I’m in with a shot! But it could all just turn to dust in the morning.

Eeeep! Fingers crossed 🤞 I will be grabbing a test as soon as I wake up!!

@jessi60 sorry didn’t mean to be a downer on the Mat leave. You will just be so in love you won’t even care.

jessi60 · 03/11/2020 20:33

@Bouncytree Aw don’t worry about. Just need a better job haha.

Let us know how you get on 🤞🏼🥰xx

Bouncytree · 04/11/2020 07:26

BFN this morning for me, Will see if AF arrives today. I’m Only 11 dpo As ovulated early, so possible too early but will know if AF comes.

OPK peak??
OP posts:
Rachel93x · 04/11/2020 07:39

@Bouncytree definitely not out until AF shows 🙌🏼 fingers crossed when you retest it's a BFP!

My sister was pregnant, it took her 4 weeks to show on a Test, can you imagine! I never realised until she told me recently, so she was 8 weeks by the time she found out!

I woke up in the night with the worst cramps so I know I'm out!

Char899 · 04/11/2020 09:02

@Bouncytree fx af stays away for you! When are you due on?
