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.

@1992EM Ah I've heard that happens with opk's. Believe it! False positives are so rare! I'm so pleased for you. How many months have you been trying now?
Did you have any early symptoms?

@Tabbycat92 this would be our 10th cycle officially trying but came off the pill 18 months ago. I haven't got any symptoms which is actually what prompted me to test. My skin is clear , I don't have spotting , and very minimal cramps. My boobs are massive but not sore except in the shower. This is usual for AF but they are usually sore or tingly. The only thing is I am incredibly tired to the point I have no motivation to do anything. I will use a frer tomorrow and see if it shows anything. Its our anniversary a week on Friday but I don't think I could keep it to myself for that long . I haven't mentioned it to my oh yet because I need confirmation before I get his hopes up. Xx

I have just had a BFP on a frer. I actually am sitting in the toilet crying my eyes out . I never thought I would see this day ❤ xx

@1992EM YAYYYYY!!!! Just woke up to see this! Amazing news so happy for you xxx

@apwilso thank you ❤ My oh is still sleeping so I had to tell someone . I actually can't believe it . I have ordered some digital ones for the end of the week . I just hope all goes well as I am still only 11dpo x

@1992EM keeping thinking positive LITERALLY! Are you going to tell him or are you going to surprise him?xx

@apwilso I have ordered a baby grow which should arrive tomorrow so will try hold my water until then . I certainly won't be able to until our anniversary so think I'll say it is either an early present as we don't really do valentines day .

I have some sort of insomnia now though as I have seen every hour . Not sure if I was just desperate to test 🤣. Also got similar discharge to fertile window which is a bit strange and a near positive opk yesterday. I am going to try another later and see if they actually do pick up pregnancy. Other than this, I have zero symptoms so I wouldn't worry too much about symptom spotting as I have the opposite and have nothing.

@1992EM incredible! So pleased for you! That's two positives in the last 2 months!
I was the same as you with my first, literally no symptoms!
I hope all goes well from here!

@tabbycat92 thank you ❤

@1992EM awww so cute! Yeah the willpower you must have to wait would be ridiculous!😂 right so I'll take note...

No symptoms = pregnant
Symptoms = not pregnant

Why is it like this 😂😂😂

Congratulations @1992EM!

Aww surprising your OH with a baby grow is exactly my plan too! I’ve had it bought for months, hidden in a drawer!🙄

Hopefully we will all get there one day!!! Xx

@apwilso The no symptoms literally is what made me test. I have massive boobs but they aren't sore , I am overly tired and that was literally it . My face hasn't broken out like it usually does and I haven't had spotting. I do think I had implantation bleeding at 6dpo but it was so little that I had assumed it was a cut from shaving 😅. To the point I didn't even record it on flo.

@misty84 I wish I had bought it earlier as now have to wait 🤣 . It will happen. I had lost all hope and I know 10 months isn't that long in the grand scheme of things. I used preseed everytime we dtd and I also dtd on the day of peak,day after and 1dpo . Usually we do it before and then are too tired at the crucial point.

@1992EM I had a weird period this month and then I was sleeping like 14 hours a day on the weekend like napping in the day and everything and I was like don't even trick me but I must just be knackered! I'm going to use that lube this month as well as we used it off and on! I think I might buy the baby grow cos I was thinking that as well just so I don't have to wait cos I'm like you!😂

@apwilso I am normally a clean freak and my house is always so tidy but literally can't be bothered doing anything 🤣 that is a good idea as I can't hold my water and am going to have to avoid him until it arrives. I thankfully have a few meetings today so that will keep me out the road for a bit . I am back in the work next week and literally have no idea how I'll make it through the day 🤣 .

@1992EM I'm glad it's happened for you!

@1992EM I literally ordered pre seed 10 mins after reading your message 😛 Gotta throw everything at it!

@apwilso We usually seem to have similar cycles, what day are you on now? I’m CD11. I’ve got one app telling me I’ll ovulate in 2 days and another telling me it’ll be in 5!🤪 I’m temping for the first time plus have the opks as usual...trying to do everything I can! Looking into acupuncture currently and have emailed a few places. Mood has been so low and stressed over the last week but finally felt a bit better today. xx

@Misty84 good question!!!! Day 10 today! I'm a late ovulater so I'm around day 19. This is the month where I'm going to try no opks as I know roughly when I should be ovulating for one I'm wasting so much money and two I become obsessed! I find that I'm an over tester so not doing it will hopefully stop be getting stressed with it.

So the things I'm doing different this month are:
No opks
No pregnancy testing until i actually should be!
Using pre seed/conceive plus lube
Been taking conceive plus tablets which apparently are magic pills so let's see about that!
And lastly ENJOY!

I won't be ovulating till around Wednesday onwards next week. Again other half is working away... he's not too far though so might take a trip😜

@apwilso thank you ❤
@misty84 definitely worth a shot . Just use it throughout your fertile window👍 x

I have managed to work out how to post photos. The app doesn't work for some reason . I didn't expect a progression on the frer as takes 2 days but the cheapie looks to be progressing thankfully . I just wanted to confirm I didn't make it up 🤣🤣🤣

@1992EM aw I am so happy for you!!! Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@1992EM amazing! So so pleased for you!

I had the same issue with the app, I find the Web site so much easier.

@apwilso Means I don’t really know exactly when I ovulate considering 2 apps say different things and I never get clear positives on opks 🙄 So annoying and just means the longest stretch of dtd- exhausting for all!!!🤪
Think I’ll go with the later prediction as my cycles have extended to 30 days rather than 26/27 as they used to be. But we’ll dtd every other day until then anyway x

@LRW26 Thank you ❤
@tabbycat92 Thank you ❤ The website is definitely easier . The pictures just never post on the app which is annoying.
I plan to do a digital on Saturday and hopefully will calm down with the testing 🤣

Sorry to ask such a basic question but I’ve only started using cheapie opks a couple of months ago (until then used CB) and I haven’t even got close to a positive ovulation result on them so far, however today def dark although not quite as dark as control line- would you count this as positive or negative?🤔 I’ve put yesterday’s on as well for comparison. Thank you 🤪

@Misty84 I would say that is a peak or you will peak in a few hours. That's what my peaks look like and I also confirm with a CB one too x
