I'm out, af has arrived (bang on schedule), so my faint lines came to nothing. I did know, to be honest, that I probably wasn't pregnant, but seeing any kind of line gives you a glimmer of hope. I am sad of course but actually relieved as well that I can stop testing, obsessing and wondering for another month. Good luck to everyone still trying, I guess I'll be on the TTC Feb babies thread soon enough...

I’m sorry, it’s always disappointing. I know what you mean about at least being able to move on.

Mummyme87 · 27/04/2023 14:34

I’m sorry @Hankthehonk on to a new cycle, fresh start

I’m still getting positive OPKs so having a long surge. Last cycle I found a link that explained ovulate 24-48hrs from first positive opk, and 8-20hours from your peak opk

Scottishgal941 · 27/04/2023 15:31

One day late AF now, it’s killing me

Daniki · 27/04/2023 15:56

@Scottishgal941 have you tested? If not you have the willpower of a saint!!

Scottishgal941 · 27/04/2023 17:05

Negative this morning so definitely not pregnant I guess, but I’ve felt so sick and funny so wondering what that was about, waiting for AF to make an appearance , it’s rubbish when you’re desperate to have a baby and then AF is late , gives you false hope

Daniki · 27/04/2023 19:01

@Scottishgal941 yea it's so cruel! But you never know, I tested negative for a few days after my missed period and my son is now 2 😂😅

Mummyme87 · 27/04/2023 20:56

@Scottishgal941 do you definitely know when you ovulated? It wasn’t late at all therefore pushing AF back?

my OPKs are getting lighter now so peaked yesterday afternoon after first positive in the morning and last positive was late morning today. Will try my best to DTD tonight. Soooo tired and hate DTD after work

Jb2189 · 27/04/2023 21:33

Hope you all don't mind me jumping on.

I'm TTC after having a miscarriage around 22nd March(silent miscarriage, found out at 2nd private scan at 8 weeks after seeing hb at 6 weeks). Stopped bleeding 2 weeks after MC and then hormone levels took a while to drop so only just got a negative test recently. AF came on last week 3 weeks after MC and only lasted 1 day longer than normal. Have been BBT testing (First time) and opk testing since AF finished and finally gor my peak today so due to ovulate tomorrow probably so will be starting my 2 week wait this weekend!

Kiwiburgh · 28/04/2023 03:17

Super confused. I got my static smiley this afternoon however I also used a first response ovulation test with the same sample and it isn't even close to being positive... I don't know what to think, is it a LH surge or not?

Fallulah · 28/04/2023 06:29

I already know we’re out this month. Yesterday was my last fertile day according to Flo and we’ve only done it one and OH couldn’t deliver.

He’s not on board with me keeping him because he’s lovely but having another partner for sex… 😆🤯

Mummyme87 · 28/04/2023 06:31

@Kiwiburgh which OPKs are you using? And have you been doing them regularly to watch for an LH surge? Have you got any signs that LH is increasing and you’re coming up to ovulation?
If I’m honest, I’m not a fan of CB digital OPK, I don’t trust them as much as the east @ home OPK

Kirstyddd · 28/04/2023 07:23

Premom says period should start today, but I don’t have my usual symptoms so I’m hoping it stays away although I tested again yesterday and was BFN

Daniki · 28/04/2023 09:23

I got a way higher reading this morning than yest on my opk. Thought yesterday was my peak but obviously not! 😂 dtd the last 2 nights so safe to say Il be at it all wknd 🙈

Daniki · 28/04/2023 09:40

@Freya8 I know sure I be the same and all I want to do is go to sleep 😂 even my husband is like again but he’ll not say no 😂 xx

Scottishgal941 · 28/04/2023 09:53

Maybe I’ve ovulated late as I’m now 2 days past AF, no sign, I had a bit of pink spotting once yesterday and nothing since , what’s going on haha, negative cheapie test this morning but nausea really bad

CinderRosie · 28/04/2023 09:57

CD9 over here, got a circle on Clearblue digital this morning but feel it'll be flashing tomorrow. Is anyone else mega anxious about TTC? I had my first DC when I was 18, I'm now 36, DH has no kids. Always wanted another DC but now the reality of it is here I'm absolutely terrified of how much things will change with a new baby. We've been waiting ages for this cycle to roll round and to be 'ready' and now it's here, I'm stressed.

Kirstyddd · 28/04/2023 15:58

@Scottishgal941 im the same, i don’t even feel crampy like a would the day before, I don’t feel anything premom days it was due today my Apple app says I was due yesterday and my Flo/Flo app says tomorrow so I’m not sure what to think

Scottishgal941 · 28/04/2023 16:01

aw it’s awful isn’t it, just waiting in limbo

Mannymoomin · 28/04/2023 20:45

I don’t know if any of you can see this, really hard to capture on camera. I’m only 8dpo so I don’t know why I do this to myself 🤦‍♀️

BB2023 · 28/04/2023 20:50

AF started today so I'm out. I'm absolutely ok about it though. It was my first cycle off the pill so I didn't really know what to expect or what my cycles even looked like but I had a 27day cycle so seems pretty normal which is good. So no bfp for me but still all positive here xx

Scottishgal941 · 28/04/2023 22:12

I deffo see a line !!!

Kiwiburgh · 28/04/2023 23:55

@Mannymoomin it's faint but i see something there!

Mannymoomin · 28/04/2023 23:58

@Scottishgal941 @Kiwiburgh I’m so pleased I’m not the only one that can see it.
it’s dried clearer and definitely pink, but I’m not getting my hopes up as this was with an evening wee after a 4 hour hold, I’ll test again in the morning as it’s driving me mad already, I keep going back to look at it.
Just so early at 8dpo that I don’t trust it

Mummyme87 · 29/04/2023 06:23

@Mannymoomin I see a vfl also. Fingers crossed for todays test
