Hi girls, getting a bit paranoid that the old thread will fill up and we'll lose each other so here's the next for when it's done :)

@Skl2021 I didn't plan to test but had a sudden urge on the day af was due, got a very strong line at 14dpo. I never really tested before that tbh!

@Skl2021 i just wonder will we ever get out wee bub! Gets harder each month 🙈 are you testing tomorrow? I'm hoping for another short cycle. Maybe it's the supplements xx

@katewitch are you using your OPKs? Are you doing okay as well x

@Justanothercyster we are isolating so I am waiting patiently for my Asda delivery tomorrow with choc and crisps galore 🤣🤣 x

@Skl2021 I feel the same 🤣
Tested the other day at 8/9 DPO, I knew it would be negative but couldn't help myself.

@xoJellyBean sorry to hear about AF. Although with a short cycle this time at least you can try again sooner.


Today at 9/10DPO I've been getting some shooting pains in my lower left abdomen and I cannot stop peeing. Not a UTI as I've had many of those and it's nothing like the symptoms as I get. I'm hoping it's a good sign but I think I'm just going to be disappointed!

@xoJellyBean is it your cycle lengths you're worried about? Mine are like that and I definitely managed to get upduffed once, it will happen for you I'm sure Flowers

I had a nearly positive OPK today alongside the faint POAS so who knows what's going on. I didn't take OPKs with me on holiday when I think I ovulated but had usual EWCM, mood issues and then spotting so looked likely. Really hate being in limbo Sad

We are away this weekend, if I don't start bleeding and the line is still faint then on Tuesday I think I'll ask if EPU can check me out with bloods or something...!

@katewitch I hope it was ov but hcg can show up on ov sticks too apparently, it might be leftover?

Hey ladies. So I'm 9 dpo today decided to take an opk and it's nearly positive 🤔👀 am I thinking into this too much or could I be ovulating again 🙈 I don't have any ewcm. I have taken pregnancy tests aswell and I think I can see very faint lines but may also be evaps don't want to get my hopes up 😩 IV attached a picture anyway. Pink is opk blue is hpt. X

@Skl2021 I used the same pregnancy tests as you and my first test was sooooo faint (at 11 DPO). I can’t see a line in the test you posted as I think the line from the LH test is distracting if that makes sense so might be better if you post it separately? I’ve posted a pic of my first test so you can see how faint it was

@justlonelystars yes I'm only 9 dpo which I know is very early and these tests arnt that sensitive 🙈 I can see lines irl but I might have line eyes 😬 tried to get another picture but they don't photograph very well 🤦it's just the opk that's throwing me 🤔 X

@Skl2021 tbh I can’t see a line but as you said they don’t photograph well and it’s still super early (and I’m also half blind and sleep deprived 😂). Have you tried the contrast thing the femometer app does to see if it’s clearer there’s a line or not?
Can’t help regarding the OPK, not sure why that’d be positive if you’ve already ovulated 🤔

Skl2021 · 20/08/2021 10:05

@justlonelystars yes I tried it but it's too light I knew it was you can hardly see it irl. 🤦 Guess I will have to try and be patient and wait 🙈 did your tests get darker every day? Or does it take a while on these tests? Yes IV seen people can get positive opks when pregnant. IL just have to wait 🤞🤞 xx

That’s my test progression for the first week or so. I stopped testing after that as I was freaking myself out about the line darkness and it wasn’t any good for my mental health!

@Skl2021 that looks potentially promising! Keeping everything crossed its more clear by 11-12dpo 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm thinking today that I have residual hcg but am indeed ovulating... have DTD this week as I've not been in the mood at all due to the stress but will endeavour to do so today and tomorrow Confused

This mornings FRER was super concentrated pee but the same as yesterday, they're definitely not getting darker

@Skl2021 I hope the opk is a sign! I had it once where I tested using an opk and it just turns out my body was trying to ov again- I'd DTD just in case, but hoping it's an early bfp for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@justlonelystars that's good line progression especially with these! There not good for strong lines!
@katewitch sorry you going through a hard time! Hard when you don't know what your body is doing! But I would cover yourself just incase you are ovulating I think I'm going to have to do the same as I don't know what's going on 🤔🙈
@Justanothercyster yes IV seen when people are pregnant there opks are like really dark and mine arnt that dark yet. IV just put it in my app and it thinks I'm ovulating again so guess I better DTD just incase 🤦🙈 xx
