Dpo 1, tww keep sane

Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

Just catching up. It's great to see some bfps already - congratulations!

I'm now 3dpo, I think. I've got sore nipples/boobs today and had some light spotting yesterday which I'm hoping was ovulation bleeding. I don't think I've ever had ovulation bleeding before, though, so I'm a bit confused.

@BlossomTree123 ah I don’t have any! I’m looking on Amazon and delivery is for Monday now and af is due Tuesday so 4 days away… I still have a decent amount of days for any hcg to build up, if there is any, I guess! But yes my sister said she has a cb digi I can use but like you I’d much rather use that closer to af.

@HelloMoon87 oh silly me! Ah! But yes fingers crossed for you… we still have time!

BFN from me this afternoon! Must have been imagining it on the rest last night!

cosymama2020 · 14/07/2023 15:09

@bookworm100 I try to test only using FMU (first morning urine) as sometimes the afternoon wee doesn’t have an accumulation of the HCG hormone so harder to detect. Try again in the morning!

missmae · 14/07/2023 15:21

I’m having vvvv faint lines appear on my tests now within the time frames! 😬🤞🏼

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 15:25

@missmae i thought you would!! As I’ve just done a one step and there’s no line! So yours has got to be positive!!

i was worried about my CB ovulation machine being faulty with the continues flashy smileys, so I bought another and it has come so I’ve just done a OPK test on both to see if they come the same. And the new one says negative and the old one says peak fertility. So has my old one been wrong all along and I’ve missed when I was ovulating or is my new one wrong 😂😂!
i have no clue!!

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 15:31

So really confused. Line has definitely got darker since yesterday on my OPK so could I be potentially ovulating again??? I’m due on in 6 days so this is baffling me!!

which machine is right. And my line has got darker on the easy@home tests…

@missmae eeekkk exciting !! Can you share you pics x

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 15:32

Btw girls all the same urine sample.

Tes004 · 14/07/2023 15:36

@BlossomTree123 well this is a proper mind messer hey !!
treat it like ovulation window and see if and when af arrives !! Bloody tests hey !

missmae · 14/07/2023 15:40

@BlossomTree123 did you order off Amazon too? Okay your opks are very confusing… when you thought you ovulated did you have any other symptoms? Are your cycles regular? I don’t think you’re ovulating again… i’m not sure what’s going on here 😬🤔

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 15:43

@Tes004 my mind is so confused! Think I’m going to treat it as if I was just incase and then see how we go. It’s mental!!!

@missmae yes ordered off Amazon! Yes I had a peak result one after the other and had cramps and discharge. But I had a peak ready before that like 3 days before but looking at the lines I don’t think it could have been. So I think I ovulated between 3-6th maybe… but I’m well confused. The lines are getting darker. Makes no sense.

missmae · 14/07/2023 15:46

@Tes004 windowsill one is this mornings and the one I’m holding is the one I did at 3pm!

missmae · 14/07/2023 15:47

@BlossomTree123 has this happened to you before in previous cycles? How strange, maybe to do with implantation? Or another hormone surge but not ovulation… 🤔

Tes004 · 14/07/2023 15:49

@missmae I see something there 👀 when are you testing next ? Your 12dpo today ? X

Last month I got peak smiley after 7 flashes and then period came and was light same day, I read online you can have another peak when AF due, but that was my first month using the cb double hormone opk and only my 2nd real period since coming off the pill. Fingers crossed it means ovulation got you! X

missmae · 14/07/2023 15:55

@Tes004 same I’m hoping they’re just not nasty little false positives!! I’m 11dpo today. Will deffo test tomorrow morning 😂 have you tested ?! X

@BlossomTree123 I see! yeah maybe you’re having another hormone surge?! If in doubt dtd but I don’t think it’s ovulation! X

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 16:00

@missmae first month using them but I have regular cycles which is very weird!
I can see something!!!! So exciting!

@Boobag this is my concern, however according to flo not due on for 6 days. So a bit weird!! I do feel like I’m going to come on though! You know that feeling!!

pinkandredflowers · 14/07/2023 16:30

@missmae I see them!!! They look really similar to mine. Here are my cheapy tests top was yday and bottom this morning. Still faint but defo getting darker.

I also have lines (faint but clearly there) on clear blue and FRRR now so maybe try a brand one and see?

pinkandredflowers · 14/07/2023 16:31

@BlossomTree123 have you tried a pregnancy test? I hear you can get positive ov tests if you are pregnant too? 🤞🤞🤞

BlossomTree123 · 14/07/2023 16:37

@pinkandredflowers yes and negative.

I think I may just be coming on, as looking at flo it’s saying I’m due on Thursday meaning my cycle would have been 31 days, when normally I’m only every normally 28/29 day cycle, therefore I think it may be detecting AF hormone, as I feel like I’m going to come one, I reckon I’ll be on by Sunday.

not going to bother testing anymore and just try again next cycle.

missmae · 14/07/2023 16:38

@pinkandredflowers ooo how many dpo are you?! Your test today is a good line!! 😁😁do you have pics of your other tests? Yes maybe I should. I will do another one of these tomorrow morning at 12dpo and see what it’s like then go from there… 🤞🏼

@BlossomTree123 I think I know what's happening.

The two opks you put are the same, one is not strong, because the control are different.

The digital one, you're not supposed to continue using it in the same cycle, after you get positive (smiley face), you're supposed to stop until next fertile period. If I understood instructions. You're potentially getting multiple smileys because the digital looks at how your hormone is changing, not the actual levels.

So I'd say you're more likely to be pregnant than ovulating. I'd do a pregnancy early test on Sunday, then if negative wait for AF.

@missmae @pinkandredflowers all looks good. Please don't panic if faint because you might be a day or two off ovulation, hopefully it gets stronger and stronger! One step is harder to get a line I feel, so maybe try another @missmae?
