Would I take this as ovulation?🤞

[Skl2021]

Would you say the 3rd test down was my peak? Seems to be getting lighter top one was today. These were alot brighter irl. The picture of one on its own was the third test down before it dryed. How many more days should I DTD? And when would I class 1dpo? Thanks 😁

@Skl2021 I had a moment of madness this morning 😂
I just can't understand why I'm getting the cramps, the backache and the bloated feeling... I'm only 9DPO but I figured if the cramping was due to something happening, I'd have a BFP after all of that. AF is due the weekend. I have 3 different tracking apps (👀😂) one says Saturday, one says Sunday and the other days Monday so I'm going on the middle and saying I'm due on on Sunday! But with my random cycles the last couple of months, who knows! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Confused678866 yes its still to early 😂 your still in this month think positive. If the cramps were implantation I think it takes another 24-48 hours for hgc to start showing so still to early? This final week is going to drag 🤦 the need to test is becoming real 😂🤞

@Skl2021 Yeah that's what I was thinking but the cramping started Friday! So I just think AF is teasing me and will appear in the next couple of days. It's easier if I think I'm already out to be honest!
Haha when do you think you will test? Xx

@Confused678866 have u tried an opk? Do u usually get symptoms before af? I was hoping to wait until at least 10 if not longer. So that would be Thursday. If opks don't get darker I might even try and wait until af is due which I don't even know when that will be 😂 as cycle is way longer than normal. X

@Skl2021 I usually get them maybe the day before but that's it.. this started Friday 👀🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm due Sunday 🤷🏼‍♀️ this is why I just don't know what's going on!! I haven't tried an OPK, I'm not trying anything now 😂 as I know my period is coming!
How long is your cycle usually? Xx

@Confused678866 yes so it's not normal for you so I don't think it's af! It's not over until af shows keep the faith 🤞😁 usually around 30 days didn't track them exactly. Last cycle was 49 days! This cycle I ovulated on cd 28 when I expected af! so I'm currently Cd 36 so longer than normal already. Only started messing up since ttc! X

@Skl2021 Yes, you're right.. just having one of those days I think! I desperately try not to get my hopes up because I did that the last Hooke of months and felt crushed for a couple of days when AF showed!
Oh gosh that's crazy isn't it?! What a way to mess with your gear and keep you on your toes! Typical isn't it now you're TTC. Well let's hope you're not trying for much longer 🙂🤞🏻 xx

@Confused678866 yes it's a hard balance of not getting hopes up but still being hopeful! I will update you with my opk journey tomorrow night 😂🤞 hope they will change 🤦

@Skl2021 Haha it really is. We just torment ourselves for a couple of weeks! 😂
Yes please do 🙂 xx

@Skl2021 Hey, AF has just shown up for me today.. pretty gutted. I'd me happy to move on to another cycle but I'm a little concerned my cycles are too short.. this month and last, 22 days and I've been reading lots of things about short cycles and problems conceiving so I'm starting to wonder. Thinking of calling the docs for an appointment.
Hope you're okay? Xx

@Confused678866 oh no I'm so sorry 😔 such a crap feeling. I don't really know alot about short cycles as I'm the opposite atm 🤦 is it something to with the length of lp if it's not long enough after ovulation then the lining isn't good enough? Do you think your bodies not settled yet from coming off birth control? Other than that yes I would speak to the doctor I'm not much help on this topic 😩 I'm doing ok feel really heavy and like periody not sure hard to explain. Don't have much hope. Opks not moving might even be lighter so not looking good x

@Skl2021 Yeah, rubbish! Yeah it's to do with the Luteal phase - which I don't really know much about either to be honest but I've read a few things about it when googling other stuff. I came off birth control in September so I've been clear of it for 6 months now 🤷🏼‍♀️
Crazy that I fell pregnant with my first in the first cycle after stopping BC though! I can't put my finger on why it's changed. To be honest, it may not even be affecting me but you know, your head likes to mess with you at times like this doesn't it so of course, I'm looking into everything and anything! Google is not good for me either! I've read about Vit B6 is good for lengthening LP so I'm going to get some and maybe try and speak to the doctor too just in case. My OH thinks it's just a case of 'it just hasn't happened this time' and he may be right but it won't harm me getting some advice.
Ahh you never know though! Feeling like that can also be a good sign. I wouldn't go by the OPK's too much either.. feeling hopeful for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Confused678866 hope af doesn't hang around for long then you can try again! Yes IV also seen alot of people cycle has changed because they started taking vitamins?! U haven't started anything in the past 2 months have you? Alot of posts on here about vitamins messing cycles up. It's worth a phone call anyway isn't it just to make sure 🤞 yes stil early I'm just loosing hope each day for some reason and the urge to test is real!! I'm holding off but don't know how much longer I can go 😩🤦but in sick of seeing negatives and don't want to put myself through it. X

@Skl2021 Yeah usually only bleed for around 3 or 4 days so hopefully she will do one soon 🤞🏻
No, the only thing I take is folic acid which you're supposed to take anyway. I never even considered any sort of vitamins but now wondering if I need them to actually help lengthen my cycle a bit, who know 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm going to call my doctors when they open, hopefully book an appointment and just ask for some advice more than anything.
Ahh don't be down though, you really never know. Look at me, I was pregnant with my first and didn't even realise for a good couple of weeks because I didn't really have any symptoms! Don't couldn't yourself out of anything yet. When is AF due? Xx

@Confused678866 yes worth a shot to take something if it makes it longer. Hopefully doctor can give u some advice aswell. Yes I know I'm still early am just not getting a good feeling 😩🤣 don't know why. And not sure when af is going to arrive I was just going to go 14 days from ovulation 🤦 as they have been all over the place lately. So not quite sure. X

@Skl2021 Yeah I hope so, I'm waiting on a call back from them today so hopefully I get some good advice and something may put my mind at ease.. on a separate note, my toddler has just broken our fairly new TV so you know, it's all going well over here!! Just had to order a new one to collect later, £579.. and we're in the process of trying to move house too 😭😭😭
Working from home with him here as his nursery is closed this week due to covid so it's going well!! 🤬

Well how long are your cycles usually, what do they range from and too? I do appreciate it's hard to know when AF is due if they differ. Please don't count yourself out though, I know it's hard but you never know! Xx

@Confused678866 oh no that's not what u need 🤦🙈 my kids are back at school so it's relax time for me 😁 erm I would say around 30-35 days never tracked them. So we will see when it decided to arrive 🤞

@Skl2021 Yeah it's the first time they've had a positive case so can't moan too much really but it's hard work trying to do IT support over the phone with a nearly 2 year trashing your TV 🤦🏼‍♀️

Haha not 'when it arrives' ... 'if it arrives' .. you never know 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Confused678866 haha how are you managing to get anything done?! Yes suppose so just not feeling hopeful. Just done another opk and it's about the same as yesterday so nothing new there 😂 x

@Skl2021 Haha, I really don't manage to get much done!! Should be back to nursery next week though 🤞🏻😂
Haha you just love peeing on sticks don't you 😂 xx

@Confused678866 yes I am addicted and it's driving me insane. I'm wanting to test so bad 🙈 it's all I can think about the closer I get the harder it's getting!!! It's taking real power not too. I need something else to make my mind of it before I go insane 😩🤪👀 help a girl out here 😂🤞🤦

@Skl2021 Haha it is hard I know! When do you think you'll start testing?? Xx

@Confused678866 I caved and tested this morning I think I'm around 10dpo. Negative. Not surprised tho. Only have cheapies in aswell so don't think they would show this early anyway x

@Skl2021 Yeah I don't think the cheap ones are as sensitive. FRER's are the best bet but obviously they aren't cheap! Xx

@Confused678866 yes I'm not even going to start on the frers with the amount I use 😂🤦 I would buy one if I get a hint of a line on ic until then I guess il keep testing 🙄 just in a weird mood. Knew I shouldn't test as it puts a downer on you. One minute I think I'm out then I think it's early so still have a chance 🤦 driving me insane now. So close yet so far 🤣 need it all hiding from me x
