Hi Ladies,

I was hopeful this month but can feel signs of AF creeping up and due in a couple of days..

I'm not too distraught as we only managed it a couple of times in my fertile week so thought it may be the case this month was a no. Now I am so ready to get annoying AF out of the way and get on the May bus!

Is anyone else in the same boat and hoping next month is the one?

I am taking folic and vitamin D at the moment but I'm going to add DHA and co-q10 as well as I've heard v good things.

Good luck to those going for May... it's my birthday in May too and I've asked for a baby 😂

Currently on CD12, had high OPK yesterday and very high today (POAS is back 🤣)... I dream of the day a pregnancy test line appears as fast as my OPKs 🤣

@Kez152 It's still so early so I wouldn't get disheartened! I can see something on ic very faintly but it's there x

@Kez152 I might be going line crazy but i feel like i can see somethng on your FRER too?

Kez152 · 07/05/2021 13:15

@Msd2416 I feel the same at times but think I’ve got line eyes- and as I don’t feel I can see it in all lights I feel like it’s negative.
The two ic are clearly lines- and pinkish in person.

Msd2416 · 07/05/2021 13:18

@Kez152 yes can see those two hun! Crossing my fingers for you babe xx

Fiep · 07/05/2021 13:43

I think you have reason to be cautiously excited! When are you testing next?

Kez152 · 07/05/2021 14:13

@Fiep will test again tomorrow morning. Af is due in 2 days so keeping my fingers crossed

Hi ladies! I hope you don't mind if I join!
TTC #1, trying since January, had a chemical in February and took a break last month, but now I'm back. I'm tracking my ovulation with that fertility monitor thingy from clear blue, I think my ovulation date will be next Thursday? I'm having a long weekend off starting Wednesday afternoon, so if that's not a sign, what is!

Losd · 07/05/2021 16:21

Well, I took a pregnancy test this morning and got a super faint bfp! Took another one this afternoon and glaring bfn so thinking it was an evap line this morning Sad I’m about 14 dpo now, af due sometime between Tuesday and today so will test again tomorrow but not optimistic x

Bundaberg84 · 07/05/2021 16:52

@losd if it was super faint this morning, it's possible that the hcg levels are still very low, so it would make sense it's a negative in the afternoon. Try again tomorrow with FMU. Fingers crossed! xx

charlotte0808 · 07/05/2021 17:34

Hi all I had my last positive ovulation test last Friday so week today is that where i would count dpo from?

Losd · 07/05/2021 17:50

@Bundaberg84 thank you, I’m expecting the worst but hoping for the best!
@charlotte0808 I could be wrong but I believe the day after your last positive OPK is 1dpo x

Msd2416 · 07/05/2021 17:56

Just wanted to see if anyone uses clear blue ovulation tests? I’ve never used them before and I’ve got the smiley face. Does this mean It’s my peak day or I have a few days? My app says I’m only ovulating on Monday so I’m confused and I binned the box and instructions!

charlotte0808 · 07/05/2021 17:56

Thank you @Losd so obviously too early for me to test. I've had awful itchy nipples and gone dry is that a symptom? Also a lot of creamy discharge leg cramps

charlotte0808 · 07/05/2021 17:57

@Losd wouldn't the morning urine year be more accurate that the afternoon one? 🤞

When u get the smiley face I believe that means you will ovulate in the next 24-48 hours.
FayLiv · 07/05/2021 18:14

@Msd2416 Are you using the 2 most fertile days ovulation sticks? Usually it pinpoints 2 of your most fertile days when you get a surge. Your app might be slightly out which you can update logging your details. Did you get a smiley face yesterday? It not you will probably have another tomorrow and the day after is usually when you are due to ovulate. Keep a look out for egg white cm and any twinges of ovulation pain to confirm and get bonking for the next few days 😂 x

@FayLiv haha! Honesty this has thrown me right off! We have been trying all week but can’t tomorrow due to shifts! Urgh so annoyed ha x

FayLiv · 07/05/2021 18:39

@Msd2416 honestly I think you'll be fine.. do it in the morning if you can be bothered and even the day after. I have been doing it on my two smiley face days and I think I need to do it the day or two after as well so that's the plan! Good luck xSmile

Losd · 07/05/2021 18:39

@charlotte0808 yeah but at 14dpo I think it should be a darker line than what I had this morning, and at least a faint line in afternoon. I’ll test again in morning but not getting hopes up...af might arrive by then anyway! X

Fiep · 07/05/2021 19:14

Oh no @Losd really hope it wasn’t an evap. The false hope is so harsh :((((

I had an evap line this cycle and then glaring white BFNs every day since so I think I have to accept it’s a no.

Fiep · 07/05/2021 19:15

Incidentally AF was due today and hasn’t come, but my cycles aren’t super regular. BFN on what should be 15 dpo is bound to be a neg though so I’m 99% certain :(((

Losd · 08/05/2021 06:51

Just tested again-15dpo and it looks negative but under certain light and with some serious squinting I can see the faintest line ever.....like I mean so faint i can’t even describe it. So even if it is a true positive I wouldn’t hold my breath for this being viable as hcg should be higher at this stage. Fully expect period to start this weekend, if not I’ll ask GP for a blood test x

taytay2020 · 08/05/2021 11:50

Hi everyone, can I join? Just got a BFN and I think I'm 15dpo. AF due any time now. I'm hoping May is the month for us! This will be my 4th cycle ttc#1.
