Thanks @ttcat37 that's good to know. I have absolutely loads of OPKs so might up the testing to make sure I catch it. Good luck to you!

ttcat37 · 09/01/2023 11:48

@PumpkinTruffles I would! I was at work so didn’t get chance to test midday which, looking at my other tests that day, was probably closer to my peak. Here’s my tests around peak day. I usually peak day 12 so I was a bit pissed off thinking I wasn’t going to ovulate at all this month.

@ttcat37 Ohh OK, that's interesting. Definitely worth me keeping an eye on then, thanks

PumpkinTruffles · 09/01/2023 11:51

@2021lady how many DPO are you? I think I can see a very faint line, but it's hard to tell. Fingers crossed for you though

Misspotterscat · 09/01/2023 13:20

I’m too am hoping dtd before ovulation really does work as ovulation should be today and it’s definitely not going to be possible to dtd today.

Butterflygirl23 · 09/01/2023 08:10

@Babydust99 yeah I've been reading up about DTD few days before ovulation covers you so I'm hoping it was enough but we will see. I'm due 20th according to flo! Its my 8th cycle too, my longest cycle has been 30 days

🤞🤞 for you 😊

PumpkinTruffles · 09/01/2023 09:15

@Babydust99 thanks... sorry about your chemical too. I think it would make sense wouldn't it? I'll just keep doing the OPKs... and DTD at every opportunity Grin

I'm feeling ok now thanks - was deflated and a bit down about it at first, but also feel the same as you. Something worked at least, now I just need the next one to stick around 🤞🏻...It has made me determined not to test early though next time. Good luck to you!

Yep, do you get any other signs of O? I get severe pain so not going to bother with the opks anymore. My fw starts on Wed so enjoying the relaxation now while I can 🤣 just hope O isn't delayed or we'll be exhausted 🙈 let me know how late your peak is, it might give me an indication of when mine will be too. I hope this is your month 🤞

Hi all,
I saw this link on another thread. It shows the chances of seeing a positive line by each DPO. the chances are so low when say 6/7/8 DPO.
It's deffo helped me relax the want to test early. As the way I see it. Your not out until AF shows. But if testing early and getting BFNs it is disheartening even though you might actually be pregnant but its just to early to see xx

That's really interesting, thank you for sharing 💐

Butterflygirl23 · 10/01/2023 20:05

Because I dont actually test when I'm ovulating I can just go off by physical symptoms so I'm either 5 dpo or 3 but my boobs have started aching since yesterday is that normal? My boobs never hurt this early on before my period, I'm due till the 20th! I know I'm probably overthinking and getting ahead of myself but I'm extremely tired too hit me yesterday
How is everyone?

Natty83 · 10/01/2023 21:51

Static smiley today for me, deed done. Do you guys try to DTD the day after the positive as well to be safe? Thinking I might this month, usually by O day I'm so tired I leave it at that.

Anyone else just started or about to start their TWW?

Ncl31 · 11/01/2023 06:26

I usually try the day after the static too as the static suggest O in the next 12-36 hours.
hopefully you’ve caught the egg!

2021lady · 11/01/2023 08:47

Af due in a few days. I've had a few vvvvvfl but tbh I think they was just ny eyes playing tricks on me.

It's been nearly 2 years ttc for number 2
You'd think by now I wouldn't symptom spot or test early etc.

Just wish I could catch a break

I can feel af on its way so on to the next cycle I guess

Hope everyone is OK

Sorry to hear that @2021lady 2021 lady - do you feel like sharing a picture for us to give a second opinion?
I also tested again this morning, BFN not even a hint of anything

How many dpo are you now? Its such a head fck isn't it

I can only see lines if I proper focus. But I'm just driving myself mad lol

For some reason it's not letting me upload them at the moment but I'll try again shortly.

Parkopedia · 11/01/2023 10:10

@2021lady about 10dpo assuming I ovulated the day after my peak opk but could be less I suppose.
With my first I got a faint but clear BFP at 11dpo so thought I should be able to see something by now even though logically I know every pregnancy could be different!

With my first the line was barely there at 14dpo let alone earlier lol. Altho I wasn't tracking properly back then so who knows. Here's yesterday's test at 9dpo I feel like altho there's a line it's too close together???

Parkopedia · 11/01/2023 10:34

There's still hope then @2021lady ! Unfortunately I do think that test looks negative, but 9dpo is still so early.

I've literally just had some brown cm when wiping, so now frantically googling all about that. I never usually spot or anything before AF and it usually starts up bright red so.... Something else to get wound up about during the long wait 😬

DearieMeWhatsUp · 11/01/2023 12:57

6DPO today according to my app. Time is standing still!!

I'm 5DPO and feel exactly the same!

log51 · 11/01/2023 16:15

@northernmam hi - i am 5DPO too!! Had a chemical last cycle so really hoping this month will be the month and it sticks, fingers crossed!

Aw will keep everything crossed for you! When are you planning to test?

Yolo23 · 11/01/2023 16:29

@log51 I had a chemical the month before last. Praying it sticks too…. Such a weird experience and range of emotion!

I’m currently 4DPO so fairly similar xx

Babydustthisyear · 11/01/2023 16:34

Hey ladies I realise I may sound crazy but just wondering if anyone has ever heard or experienced this, we are ttc this month, ovulation is due tomorrow we have DTD a few times but today, day before ovulation I feel really nauseous and funny taste in my mouth, I realise these are symptoms of pregnancy but I haven't even ovulated yet, the nausea and taste are strong I googled it and said it can happen during ovulation but has never happened to me before. I stopped any birth control 3YEARS ago so no changes in hormones 🙈🙈

log51 · 11/01/2023 16:48

@northernmam I am going to try and hold out until the 19th! What about you?

@Yolo23 sorry to hear that. fingers crossed this is our month! It's frustrating for me as my cycles are long (had both blood tests and scan and it's not PCOS apparently) so last cycle I didn't ovulate until CD40 and this time was CD30. If AF comes, hopefully the next one will be shorter!
