@CardioQueen just so you know where we are

Here we go ladies! The last thread was a lucky one so let's keep up the success on this one!

First time I’ve done a first response test since my first pregnant one. It’s not one of the Early ones just the rapid one. Obviously my worrying continue.. Do yous think this is much darker? 😞
The tope one is Tuesdays and bottom one is today’s. So 5 days apart.

@Dex1521 Glad to see you’ve gone back up! 🥳🥳🥳 xx

It definitely looks darker @jessi60 also the test from Tuesday will have dried up now so it can darken/lighten itself naturally just from being old. I fished the one I did yesterday out of the bin and it’s a lot darker than when I posted the picture yesterday there is definitely a shadow line on it now but I know it’s false and due to sitting for longer it’s darkened.

You’re still getting a positive on a FR which is amazing as long as They’re positive you’re pregnant, you probably just have lower HCG levels compared to others as it took ages to show initially x

@AMS19 Yep already had the FF crosshairs, and in my TWW. I just thought I'd keep doing OPKs each day to see when they drop back down to 0 but they haven't yet. And obviously I'm googling and reading into that as possibly because of pregnancy 🤷🏻‍♀️
However as you can see my Premom app is clearly crazy if it thinks that's a peak. I've never even had a peak or anything higher than 0.7 before!

@Dex1521 wooop! Looking good girl! I'm laughing that of course you did another IC but I do get why you'd have the need to double check after yesterday's result just incase.

@jessi60 it looks darker to me 👌 nothing to worry about there id say!

Forgot to attach chart update. My temps are hovering above consistently the cover line... does that not matter as long as they stay above it?
So weird that they've been so jagged the whole time and now plateauing. I can't find any similar examples on FF.

@Emmgrem honestly I can’t help myself 😂 imagine I did get a BFP this month I’d be a mess lol 😆

@Dex1521@Emmgrem Doesn’t help when I sit staring at it wanting to see it be darker😂
Thanks for your reassurance.

Yeah positive opks are deffo a sign of pregnancy. I’ve done a couple since my positive and they all look like this ..

@Dex1521 I hope your going to buy some of the first response ones for when to test in a few days. Don’t rely on them cheap stick ones! 😂

@Dex1521 you are just too early! Honeslty if it was positive I would be thinking it was false. You only release HCG after implantation and implantation only really happens from 7DPO onwards. So really unlikely, especially on a IC to be getting a positive now. Not impossible but very unlikely

@emmgrem based on the above I'm not sure that can be HCG 5DPO? If it is then great! But you must have ovulated earlier than you think in that case!

@jessie60 definitely much darker! How many DPOs are you now? Might even worth testing with a CB digital and seeing the weeks for reassurance once you get past 21DPO. Or hold on until about 25DPO if you wanna try for a 3+?

@jessi60 haha I have 3 FRERs left over from last cycle I just didn’t want to waste them early on lol going to wait now until Christmas Eve. Is there a good time to do an FRER like morning evening etc and do I need to hold my wee for a few hours or will it show regardless? Just so I’m prepared lol

@AMS19 I know I don’t know why I did that test last night just put things in the air for me lol it was definitely a false positive haha I’m over it now but glad my temps have gone back up today

Last month I had loads of weird symptoms like dizziness/nausea/cramps but this month I’ve had nothing so I’m taking that as a good sign - only thing I’ve noticed this morning is I’ve loads of little whiteheads appeared overnight on my chin and shoulders so not sure what to make of that

@Dex1521 the thing is even if you got a positive you would have no more comfort from it as it would almost certainly be false at this stage! So, even as a POAS addict, I really would bother....
Take a FRER from 10DPO at the absolute earliest, ideally later, using FMU. Only from that point would even a squinter mean anything! Honestly I hate to be a Debbie downer but anything now just won't be reliable and I wouldn't think was a BFP in all honesty!

Wouldn't*

@AMS19 I completely understand what you’re saying! I’m going to test 11dpo 25th just to see if I can have a couple glasses of bucksfizz Christmas morning but if it’s BFN I’m going to wait until AF is due on 29th and see what happens. I needed a reality check so your comment is appreciated I just got away with myself yesterday doing a test out of boredom and know it means nothing

I’m sticking to my ordiginal test date of 25th at 11dpo as I’ve been chopping and changing recently so sticking to my guns. Going to do some baking today to take my mind off things - mince pies incoming 😂

I’ve no idea what’s going on with me this cycle, I think taking the vitamin B6 has totally messed up my cycles! 😢 I was looking up other threads and so many people said taking B6 delayed their ovulation and messed up their cycles!

Im CD18 (expected to ovulate around CD15) and my cheapie OPKs have been negative this whole cycle so far, not even an attempt to peak!
Had the weird situation with the CB tests which said I peaked CD15, which I knew was wrong! Temps confirmed that too!

And my temps now seem to be all over the place! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Gonna assume I won’t ovulate now this cycle, hopefully it’ll go back to normal this month! Stopped taking B6 2/3 days ago so hopefully it gets out of my system soon!

@AMS19 I don’t have a clue to be honest 😂 like 24 if that peak was correct but I still only got 1-2 weeks on a clear blue a couple of days ago. So don’t know what’s going on and I’m scared to do it!

@Dex1521 Ah that’s good then! I think first morning urine would be best. Although I did mine at like 2pm with not an early response one 😂

Xx

@positivitytree2020 I didn’t get a positive opk until CD 20 when I was predicted like CD 14? Xx

Honestly now looking back I don’t think I could of coped doing an early test before my period was due. Even though I don’t know if my cycle was 28 days or 34 (I think it was more 34 this time) I was still late before I did a test. I’m anxious enough now as it is. Obviously it’s amazing knowing early but it has its down sides of having longer to bloody wait 😂 x

@AMS19 ok thanks for the dose of reality. So hard not to look for crazy signs! Is there any point in me keep taking an OPK every day then to see if it goes down?

@positivitytree2020 sorry to hear your cycles are messing you about! Still time for a big temp spike though.. I thought I was out as mine starting higher and then got lower like yours, then a few days of them being up again and I got ovulation confirmed CD20 so don't lose hope!
What's your highest OPK? Are they stark white or are any showing as high on the app?

@Emmgrem I never used OPKs after I ovulated. I took one the day after my peak to see it go back down and then never touched them again. So personally...I would stop testing with them, and as I said to @Dex1521 wait until 11DPO with FMU with a FRER. It is pretty much impossible to get a BFP as 5DPO, so either you didn't ovulate when you think you did, didn't ovulate at all so are now about to ovulate, or you're getting a false positive. Again, sorry to bring the mood down but I'm 99% sure that is the case xx

@Emmgrem @jessi60 that’s good to know, I know the day of ovulation can change! But mine has consistently been CD15 the last 3 months and has now changed just when I started taking B6! 🤔

No it’s always around 0.2-0.3ish, ill attach my Premom pics!

Not sure what’s going on! 😂

@positivitytree2020 Your always getting lines though which is good. When I used a different brand of strip I always got results like this and then when I changed to the easy at home strips I found it looked a lot clearer and was easier for the app to read. Xx

If this TikTok doesn’t scream my name I don’t know what does 🤣

@jessi60 ya I’m always getting lines, think that must be my baseline level!! 😂 I used that brand previous cycle and had no prob identifying my peak! Guess something has gone wrong with me this month! 😂 Roll on cycle 5! 🙄

Hey gals looks like I'm out... went to the loo and there was some spotting - really don't think it's implantation as it happened same time last cycle and I've kinda got a period feeling in my tummy. Raging. 7DPO. Really felt like we did everything right and I've been so laid back about everything. Gonna try forget about it but it's shit. And my OH isn't with me, and looks like he's not gonna be able to fly over now. Ideal. Anyways best of luck everyone else xxxxx
