Been ttc no 2 for over a year with no sniff of a positive. My periods were regular this time last year and I was religiously tracking them in an app but I missed the odd one here and there (had blood tests at doctors but definitely wasn’t pregnant just irregular) and now they have become irregular. I got stressed with tracking so ditched it. Not sure when I was due to ovulate this month or when af is due.
Took a test this morning because I had a feeling. What do you think? I might just be optimistic because it’s been so long.

I'd say that's positive! A tentative congratulations 🎉😊

LuluF91 · 03/01/2021 17:27

I see a faint positive there :)

DressingGownofDoom · 03/01/2021 17:30

Yeah I think this is it!

Josie465 · 03/01/2021 17:59

Ooh thank you everyone 😊 I’ve ordered a clear blue digital to make sure!

Hi ladies sorry to jump on the post, I had a missed miscarriage back last March, before that my periods was regular like clockwork, got to august last year and things still hadn’t settled so went to the doctors and they discovered I had an under active thyroid, have been placed on medication but not sure of my levels yet as waiting for another blood test, just wondering if anyone can help me if these ovulation tests I did on my cycle day 19 and 20 are positive? Desperately trying to have another but seem to be having no luck and everyone else around me is falling pregnant at the drop of a hat Sad

@Josie465 I see it 😮 x

PurBal · 03/01/2021 18:11

Looks positive to me OP.

firsttimemummy321 · 03/01/2021 18:16

@Josie465 I'd say that looks positive congratulations 😍

Tinkers123 · 03/01/2021 21:53

Does OP mean ovulation peak? Sorry I’m so new to this stuff Blush. Thank you, also big congrats to original poster I think that’s a positive test too praying I will experience the same soon Halo

Juno231 · 03/01/2021 22:00

@Tinkers123 those aren't peak yet - they need to be at least as strong as the control line. So tomorrow perhaps? You'll need to be testing 2-3 per day now to make sure you don't miss it though. OP means original poster. (Psst, create your own thread next time!)

Hi @Tinkers123 you'd be better starting your own thread but those tests aren't positive yet, the line isn't as dark as or darker than the control line. Although I would say they're definitely on their way to being positive in the next day or two. Good luck Thanks

Tinkers123 · 03/01/2021 22:13

Thank you for the reply, sorry I’m so new to this so had no idea about starting my own thread etc lol, I did take tests each day after that and they just seemed to get lighter after that Sad makes me panic that I’m possibly not even ovulating Sad sorry again to jump on this post I’m just a newbie lol Star

TheDaydreamBelievers · 03/01/2021 22:46

@Tinkers123 did you get an AF 2 weeks after these tests? It's easy to miss a true peak on an OPK, when they get that strong you can test 3 times a day to catch the true peak. The only real way to CONFIRM ovulation is to:
Get a positive OPK
With basal body temperatures that show a sustained peak then drop
And you either had AF or a BFP 2 weeks later.

If you want to take some of the pressure off ovulation time points, your best bet is to just have sex at least every 2 days.

@Josie465 I see it! Use a FRER tomorrow morning!

Tinkers123 · 03/01/2021 23:06

Thanks for replying hun. I took those tests about a week ago, so haven’t had AF yet, my cycles have been all over the place since my mc last year so have no idea when I could be due AF to come Sad I have attached a photo of the other OT I did the following days after getting those peaks but as you can see they have got lighter and lighter. Would just love to receive a positive pregnancy test and finally get my little rainbow, although super happy for OP Flowers

I’ve taken a couple more internet cheapy tests (last one was this morning). I think the line is getting darker? 🤔
I’ve ordered a digital for confirmation but it doesn’t arrive til Friday!

Could this be it?

eloiseislost · 06/01/2021 19:35

It's definitely getting darker @Josie465 🙂
I hope the digital gives you the definitive answer you want! 🤞🏼

LuluF91 · 06/01/2021 22:10

They are getting there! Maby its a good thing your digital isn't here until Friday as I've read on here they aren't as sensitive and more likely to give a false negative. Let us know how it goes!

Josie465 · 06/01/2021 23:20

@LuluF91 I will update when it arrives!

OP posts:
Josie465 · 07/01/2021 12:11

I was so excited because my Amazon order arrived a day early. Took the test with fmu and it didn’t work! So upset. The display just didn’t show anything the whole time 😭

OP posts:
LuluF91 · 07/01/2021 12:40

Oh no! Did you follow the instructions? I've not done one of them so not sure exactly how they work, I wonder if you can get your money back or a replacement

Josie465 · 07/01/2021 13:26

Yea I did follow the instructions (and I’ve used them before and it’s worked fine!) Sad
I did get one of these in the pack too and as you can see, this one has worked so perhaps I should leave it at that 🤞🏻
Now to tell hubby... I was going to do something fun because when I found out about my first I just shoved the stick at him and cried (happy tears). Anyone got a good : more fun way to share the news?

Could this be it?

firsttimemummy321 · 07/01/2021 13:34

Yay congratulations!!!

Could do a treasure hunt?
Or bun in the oven 😍

LuluF91 · 07/01/2021 14:23

That's a perfect positive! I regret never waiting to tell my husband in a fun way but if this one works out ( 50/50 at present) then I'll get a "big brother" tshirt for DS to surprise the grandparents.

Josie465 · 07/01/2021 14:45

I did think maybe a treasure hunt with clues and the test at the end could be fun. He doesn’t really like surprises 😂

Tinkers123 · 07/01/2021 16:32

Aww congratulations! When I found out last year before I miscarried I ordered a card offline and on the front it said only the best partners and then on the inside it said get promoted to and then there was a little gold heart he had to scratch with a coin and it said daddy that was a super cute way xx
