I have made a new thread as the last one is almost full. I hope this ok @apwilso and have added as many people as I could find to it.

@Louisa199 I've found it well unreliable this month and a few other people have had issues. It's been basically bleaching the test results for the percentage number and had to adjust everyday

I've attached My tests b just don't know what date to go off for ovulation

Right guys I've had a cry because I don't know if what I saw is a line or just frer throwing me off. When I saw line I mean shadow! But done a FRER just then so an afternoon wee and I can see a slight shadow on it. It's hard to get a picture of it not picking up on camera. I'll try in the morning or leave it a few days!

@apwilso my fingers are crossed for you 💜

Thanks @laura2093

Don't want to get my hopes up cos I'm still quite early to be testing

@apwilso hope its good news for you!! What dpo are you? I got my BFP at 11dpo On a clear blue early response and Shadow on an IC - 10dpo was a stark white on FRER

@Dex1521 I'm unsure for definite what dpo due to a range of test results I could be around 6-8 but I purposely checked within the time bracket because I was panicking if it's a evap line. I've put a picture on this post and adjusted the photo so you can see. There's a slight shadow not gonna get to hyped on it just in case but not been well since Thursday last week. Really bad back, nausea, been sick one night so I don't know. Good signs but we will wait!

@apwilso yeah can deffo see something but try not get too excited, I couldn't get excited till after 14dpo i was a nervous wreck 😂 if can you try wait till Wednesday and use FMU as HCG doubles everyday but if not definitely use FMU in morning

Need some other pg ladies in this group I'm feeling lonely now 😅 rooting for you all

@Dex1521 oh definitely not. I got a similar line on a CB back in November but ended up a chemical. So I'm very nervous! I'm hoping it does come back positive but we can only wait and see. How are you feeling? How's it going?

@apwilso yah not bad no real symptoms except tonight I felt really sickly/light headed when cooking tea but as soon as I went into the living room it was cooler and I felt fine. Also when I sneeze or stand up off a chair I get really bad round ligament pain. I'm 5 weeks today.

This might be helpful but I've attached my tests at 11dpo if you want to compare to them. I did 3 tests on 11dpo I was desperate 😂

I feel a bit disheartened, I ovulated on Saturday (I think!) we DTD Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. Too exhausted tonight and thinking it won't be enough.
All my swabs and bloods have come back clear.
Just waiting to book my other half's.
Xxx

@Dex1521 exciting times! Sounds like you're smashing it! Thanks for the comparison I need another one this morning but still shadow so gonna leave it. Not very convinced at the min but we will see!

@laura2093 fingers crossed for your test results! Hope all is okay. I'm keep thinking have I done enough!

Another temp rise today 👍 so definitely think I ovulated- just hope we did it enough!
Booked in for my cycle day 21 blood test tomorrow- as everything else has come back clear. Xxx

Hello I have come crawling back after taking some time out!!🙋‍♀️ Thought it was going to be permanent but I couldn’t resist seeing how you’re all getting on and I just read back on everything I missed.
@Dex1521 Congratulations, so amazing, I have to confess on the first pics you posted I couldn’t see any line at all😂 but on the next ones I could see the shadows and then it was brilliant to see the BFP!✨
@apwilso Thank you for being so kind and understanding when I left, I saw your comments afterwards ❤️
@1992EM Hope you are ok, sending hugs!
@laura2093 Hi, I am also having tests as have been TTC for quite a while and I’m 36. I’m a bit further along that you though; I’ve had all the blood tests and swabs, and just had the internal scan. Everything has come back normal so far, including my OH’s test, so next will be the dye in the fallopian tubes. Yikes!! I’m having enormous waits between everything though due to Covid.

Hope all you lovely ladies are doing ok! I’m 12 dpo so will be finding out soon whether this month has brought any joy🙄 If not I’m turning to the trusty red wine! Xx

@Misty84 thank you and good luck in the days to come. I am dipping in and out on here. Just waiting for ovulation. I think this can become very intense and I feel like I have managed to escape ttc for at least a couple of weeks and live a normal life 🤣 . I hope everyone is well and @apwilso I hope you get a BFP I am no good with tests unless they are blatantly showing a line. ❤

Hello @Misty84!
Thankyou- I'm 28 and finding it all a little scary to be honest. I have had an external ultra sound and think the internal will be next on my list. Need to go and collect my OH's SA. He's a bit anxious to do it.
I just want answers! I'm now in the TWW. Temp dropped only slightly this morning so think it's quite normal. Hoping and praying!
Xxx

@Misty84 any time ❤️

@1992EM hi! Hope you're okay! I know I'm the same at first I was like omgggg a shadow but now I'm back to nahhhh I'll wait (or keep on testing lol) until I see an obvious line!

Views and opinions!? What should I be looking out for?

@Laura2093 I haven't started temping yet but I think it should remain high with a slight dip at implantation and it AF is going to arrive it will take a big dip. I may be wrong though but that was what I took from it .

@apwilso I am good thanks, I hope you are too ? AF arriving is hard especially now I am approaching the year point in a couple of months. I am now in my 10th cycle and due to get a peak opk any day now. I hope you get your BFP soon. When is AF due. ? X

@1992EM it gets harder every month. I'm good thanks! I've got my fingers crossed for you! My AF is usually a 30/31 day so 3 days I think but I was 4 days late last month!

@apwilso not long to go then. Fingers crossed. I am later ovulating this month. My opks are still low so think ill be back to 31 day cycle instead of the 29 days the past couple of months. x

@laura2093 Hope all your tests continue to go ok, you have age on your side which is a good thing! Plenty of time to make sure it happens one way or another :) When I had my internal scan the doctor was very reassuring and positive, saying “it just takes time” and that I’m too young to have ivf! I was so shocked, I don’t feel too young! My eggs are officially geriatric!

@1992EM Getting to the year mark is shit, it suddenly gets a lot harder to take, so I really feel for you. Def a good idea to dip in and out of this because it can feel intense. I’ve already explained to my OH that ovulation time and AF time is when I’m at my most sensitive and he needs to irritate me as little as possible during this time to avoid a huge overreaction!! 🤯

@apwilso Fingers crossed for you🤞
I’m going to test on Sunday if AF hasn’t arrived. 🙏

@Misty84 Thank you . I totally agree. Definitely hard to take and hormones are messed up enough as it is without the disappointment too. x

Do we think dip? Or on it's way down for AF?

@Misty84 thank you it's hard because I'm hoping I know sooner rather than later!

@1992EM I don't have a clue because I was late last cycle x

@apwilso I was also late last month (by 2 days, did you say you were late by 4?! That’s even more rubbish!☹️) It’s even harder to take when your hopes are raised so much by each day that passes!
Tbh think I’m getting AF signs, I always try and kid myself that it’s implantation bleeding, but it never is 😔

@laura2093 Sorry I can’t help, I’ve never taken temp, just done the sticks. Considering starting although it looks complicated!!🤪
