@monsteramunch we are totally rooting for you 💪🏼 I don't think you really need a long hold for 16dpo so you should be fine

Thank you

Really nervous as if it's a no, it's a 'proper' no isn't it? So no hope left for this cycle. Maybe this whole waiting so long to test thing wasn't so clever after all!!

@monsteramunch It would be yes, but with all your symptoms I'm like 99% sure it's not going to be a no though :)

@monsteramunch well I mean it's never a no until AF shows her lil ugly face 🙄 waiting or not waiting both suck 😩

@monsteramunch I think if it's bfn then it could be that you ovulated later this cycle. Are you completely certain of your O dates? Tbh given your symptoms and usual AF date, I think it looks really promising 🤞

@bunnykins123

It was a bit confusing as a I had flashing and static smileys on digital OPK a few days ahead of my positive strips.

I've based 16dpo on day 14/15 being when I ovulated.

Handy, not at all obsessive round up below If anyone can make sense of it!

Sun CD 9 ✅ (empty circle digital) DTD - evening

Mon CD 10 ✅ (empty circle digital) DTD - early evening

Tues CD 11 ✅ (flashing smiley digital am&pm) DTD around midnight (so technically CD12)

Weds CD 12 (flashing smiley digital am)

Thur CD 13 ✅ (static smiley digital pm, negative strip opk pm) DTD around midnight so technically CD14)

Fri CD 14 ✅ (negative strip opk pm) DTD around midnight so technically CD15

Sat CD 15 (positive strip OPK am and pm)

Sun CD 16 (positive strip OPK am and pm)

Mon CD 17 ✅ (static smiley digital am, negative strip OPK am and pm) DTD

Tue CD 18 ✅ (negative strip am and pm) DTD

@monsteramunch Oh well if you're not sure of O date then I retract my earlier no 😂 Totally possible to still get a bfp.

@monsteramunch did you keep testing with CB to get two statics? I've never seen that before! I always just stopped testing after a static. The 2 statics defo confuse things! Fingers crossed you get your bfp later 🤞

@TheBirdintheCave

Haha retraction is welcome as it means hope!

It was such a confusing month as in the past static smiley on the digital has always meant ovulating 24/36 hours later for me, so went by that, but this time I had the rogue positive strip OPKs later on so maybe I should have gone by them and not by the digital... gaaaah!

So I guess I could be 14DPO rather than 16DPO.

I'm so sick of all this 😞

I usually never use the digital again after it's a static smiley (and it stays on static for 48 hours automatically) but as the strip OPKs were blazing on later days, I used the digital again to see what it would say and it was a static smiley again a good 72+ hours after the original one.

Weird!

@monsteramunch I'm nearly sure I've read the strips go positive a few days after the static in one of my many internet rabbit holes. Now I'm not 💯 sure I've so much useless info in my head. In fact I could have dreamt it😂

@monsteramunch I think either 14 or 16 you would get a line at both lovely and you've dtd enough to cover all possibilities. Odd about the CB not matching up to strips. Did you check the lines on the cb?

@monsteramunch that's really odd. Can totally understand why you tested again! @MrsJGrealish is right that strips turn positive after the static. It's hard to pin point it! I agree with @bringmearainbow irrespective of dates, you should get a line now if pregnant!

Aaargh I just had a break between zooms and was absolutely desperate without much time and without thinking wasted precious wee 😭

I was 3 hours into a hold, I'm going to try to wait bit til like 6pm but can't see it happening as I can't stop weeing!

@monsteramunch Oh noes! I don't think at this point it would need to be very concentrated though. An hour would probably be enough :)

@monsteramunch mine was about a 2 hr hold, I think you will be fine if you can hold till 6pm!

@TheBirdintheCave @bunnykins123

Thank you!

Thanks to sleeping four hours a night for the last three nights I'm absolutely shattered so quite tempted to try to have a nap after my next zoom then it'll be testing time at six. I'm really nervous. Also will feel bad if after all this build up I don't have exciting news for you!

And also already starting to stress about potentially another bad night tonight insomnia wise. Which is the worst thing to do!

If AF doesn't come today then this would be my longest cycle for over a year.

@monsteramunch I think 2 hours would do

I'm off to pick up my son soon. No one pee on anything whilst I'm gone 😂

@TheBirdintheCave I’m currently saving some up to POAS later because I’ve decided hey why not torture myself some more on a Monday night 😂

@LuckyMoonstone love it! Staying true to the name of the thread 😘

Ok I'm back 😂

I found you all! Although I'm in the background I can't help join in rooting for you all. Good luck to those testing soon!

@LuckyMoonstone I completely missed your news, that is some lovely line progression. Everything crossed for you that it's all going in the right direction x

Hi Blue :) How're you getting on?

@monsteramunch excited for you to pee! Sounds odd taken out of context 🤣
