apologies if some of you have had their BFP/ still waiting for it - missed people (I know there’s a few) - I took this from the June thread 💖

I can definitely see a line! Xx

ChloeN · 22/10/2022 10:57

@bubble55 yep I see a line too☺️❤️

Glawen · 22/10/2022 11:18

Me again ladies... Im a bit confused with the CB digital ovulation test. So I said I wouldn't test for ovulation this month (lied to myself and couldn't resist 😅) Last month I had a 25 day cycle and got a static smiley on day 10, so ovulated day 11 I think.

This month I didn't test until Thursday which was cycle day 14 for me and I've had flashing smileys for the last three days now.

If I ovulated earlier than when I tested and I missed it, what does it mean if I'm getting flashing smileys? I'll keep testing but I'm a bit confused. X

BethSuz27 · 22/10/2022 11:22

@bubble55 i see it too! Baby dust! Hopefully it’s a sticky baby 🥰🥰

did another LH this morning and still super high as well as a high cervix and the sore boobs! My OH told me I was emotionally unstable last night too because I was either crying or laughing 😅

Seasidegirll · 22/10/2022 11:25

@bubble55 i definitely see a line!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Seasidegirll · 22/10/2022 11:33

I just got a very positive OPK! There was hardly a line yesterday and now it’s so strong!! We DTD Wednesday, yesterday and will tomorrow so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Glawen · 22/10/2022 11:41

@Seasidegirll @BethSuz27 hopeful for you both 🤞🏼🤞🏼💘

FieldView · 22/10/2022 11:59

Congratulations @bubble55! Hoping it's a sticky one for you!

@BethSuz27 hoping your signs are positive! Are you testing this weekend or holding out until Monday?

@Glawen I think the CB digis need to see the LH surge to give a static smiley. My understanding is that you get a flashing smiley when they detect estrogen, and then the static when they see the LH surge. I don't think they would give a static if you start testing after the surge, but I'm not 100% sure! I use them though and ended up getting my static three days later than usual this cycle, so you may be ovulating late?

BethSuz27 · 22/10/2022 12:02

@Glawen hopeful for you too! Be positive! This is your month girl! One thing I didn’t slightly different this month is told myself I was pregnant until something said otherwise and I felt so much more positive!

@FieldView holding out till Monday! Wanted to do it while OH is at work so I can surprise him! And I can’t afford any more tests till Monday haha! How are you getting on?

Roxybabe · 22/10/2022 12:08

@bubble55 i see it, congrats!

@glawen I have never used the CB ones, just the amazon cheapies, but I would keep testing and carry on DTD if you can just incase. My ovulation day can vary month to month. Mine can vary from CD14 -CD20..

JuniperandI · 22/10/2022 12:55

Hello ladies

I'm 4 or 5 DPO, exhausted and a little queasy. Also a bit sniffly in the morning and I keep getting lightheaded. I've had three CPs this year so I'm symptom spotting like mad!

Anyone else symptom spotting?!

buttercupbee · 22/10/2022 13:15

@bubble55 I see a line too, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼💕

@JuniperandI I’m 7DPO and told myself I wasn’t going to symptom spot this cycle but can’t help myself!

BethSuz27 · 22/10/2022 17:23

@Glawen 11dpo and super positive still for OPK, second day running, cervix super high and no sign of AF, super achey boobs and been weeing a lot today! Super hungry and according to OH mood swings haha!

@Glawen 11dpo and super positive still for OPK, second day running, cervix super high and no sign of AF, super achey boobs and been weeing a lot today! Super hungry and according to OH mood swings haha!

Can you use OPKs as PG tests?!

BethSuz27 · 22/10/2022 17:51

@JuniperandI because LH (ovulation hormone) and HCG (pregnancy hormone) are very similar chemically, ovulation tests can sometimes pick up pregnancy, there have been quite a few cases of someone getting a positive OPK - so the test line is as dark or darker than control - and then testing for pregnancy and getting BFP, however you have to be careful because you can sometimes can an LH surge before AF shows

Aimee1995 · 22/10/2022 18:07

Can anyone see a second line? Only dtd once this month but I am 3 days late, mild nausea, dry mouth and very runny nose

BethSuz27 · 22/10/2022 18:13

@Aimee1995 definitley see a line! Try again in the morning and it might be darker xx

buttercupbee · 22/10/2022 18:18

@Aimee1995 I can see it! Fingers crossed!

Aimee1995 · 22/10/2022 18:20

@BethSuz27 we are abroad till Monday so only super cheap Cezch tests but got one more to do tomorrow! Will do a digital when we get home I think!

@buttercupbee I hope so

BethSuz27 · 22/10/2022 18:22

@Aimee1995 sending you baby dust! It’s easily visible so definitley not seeing things 🥰

Aimee1995 · 22/10/2022 18:24

@BethSuz27 thank you! It's even more magical as tomorrow is our 1 year wedding anniversary 🥰

BethSuz27 · 22/10/2022 18:29

@Aimee1995 aww congratulations! definitely enjoy the last day of holiday with the hopes of another human to join your family then!

Glawen · 23/10/2022 09:50

@FieldView @BethSuz27 @Roxybabe thanks all - that makes sense. I'll keep tracking anyway and see what comes up 🤔

@Aimee1995 congratulations and such perfect timing for you ❤️

How is everyone doing? I don't know where I am in terms of O but my period is predicated in 12 days. Desperation is kicking in for me now, trying to be positive and tell myself it's ok, this is the month but I'm symptom spotting and overthinking a lot x

Roxybabe · 23/10/2022 10:03

@Aimee1995 congrats!! And just in time for your anniversary, how lovely! X

Seasidegirll · 23/10/2022 11:40

@Aimee1995 oh amazing, congratulations!! How special finding out just before your anniversary 🥰
