@Comet1992 your OPK results look super positive! Fingers crossed for you 😄

@LilPearl welcome! I felt the same when we started (only on cycle 4 but it feels forever!) hopefully it’s not AF pains but implantation pains!

@Beccylou94 not too bad thanks, still no positive OPK for me at CD22 but feel oddly calm about it. I think I’ve just convinced myself I might have missed it between testing or because I’ve been ill I haven’t noticed the ovulation pain- or something else with a possible chance! 😅😂
how are you? :)

@MissEmily5 glad you feel calm about it :) having you been dtd regularly so might have caught it anyway? I'm cd 19 today, predicted ovulation yesterday but lh just starting to rise so hoping to get a positive in next few days 🙏

MissEmily5 · 24/11/2023 19:09

@Beccylou94 I think I go from one extreme to another- I stopped testing for
ovulation on CD24 as I started spotting. Seemed really positive for ovulation as it was watery and pink but I’m now on CD27 and due in tomorrow. I’ve had minimal spotting but I just know it won’t be our month.
Its hard to imagine it actually happening right now 😔
If I get another month of negative OPKs then definitely a trip to the doctors, just really hope it’s because of illness or perhaps I just didn’t manage to catch it.
We DTD every other day from CD4 till CD21 so we gave it very good shot!

oooh, fingers crossed for you! I want to start seeing everyone here getting these BFP! 🥰

Comet1992 · 25/11/2023 05:44

@MissEmily5 you sure that you didn't ovulate earlier? and that could be implantation bleeding as that's quite late in the cycle, implantation commonly happens between CD 20-25 keeping everything crossed for you. Your not out until AF arrives im 8dpo now so tempted but im waiting until mon at least 😬😆

MissEmily5 · 25/11/2023 08:46

@Comet1992 woke up to AF today 🤦🏻‍♀️ since TTC I’ve been getting spotting before my period- I wouldn’t say 1-2 days before is unusual to me but 4/5 days has never happened to me, except last month and this month.

I’m going to test for OPK again this
month, starting at CD8 and twice a day, rather than starting with one test and then changing to two tests a day later on in my cycle. It’s going to be pricey but as this is now my 2nd month in the 3 months I have been testing that I have not received a positive OPK, I think it would be best so I can contact the doctor about it.
I’m just hoping I’ve missed the surge when testing rather than any problems 🤞

If all is well and they can tell me I’m ovulating I think I’ll ditch the tests and just do what we have been doing (SMEP method). Anyway on to cycle 5!

Oooh you’re so close until you can test! Good luck, how are you feeling? 🥰

@MissEmily5 It's just so hard isn't it? I think I'm getting booked into my drs asap. I don't think I've actually ovulated this whole time as I've never had a positive opk. Sorry to hear af came for you. Fresh start?

Comet1992 · 26/11/2023 12:43

9dpo today not sure if I've got an indent or it's the start of something been getting weird cramping in lower stomach and back 😬 testing everyday just in case

@Bex4567 stopped the pill beginning on august so basically this is the 3rd cycle TTC feels like forever though 😖 I hope it's not an indent but can't get my hopes up until it's really obvious 🥺

@Comet1992 I think I can on the top test 🤞🏻x

nervousn3lly · 27/11/2023 15:27

@Comet1992 do you do another test today? X

MissEmily5 · 27/11/2023 16:01

@Beccylou94 sounds like we’re in a similar boat- I don’t think there is any harm in contacting doctors and just seeing what the say. I definitely will be doing it in the month if we don’t receive our BFP.

@Bex4567 aw I’m sorry that you’re feeling like this, everything crossed for you and that you’ll get the news you want very, very soon.

@MissEmily5 yea I'm just swapping drs atm so waiting for that to go through so I can book at new ones. Old drs were ridiculous. Tried 4 separate times over the past few weeks to make an appointment about it and they've said unless it's an emergency call back in a few days.. I took a pdg test yesterday to see if that was helpful. It was positive but now I have now idea what that actually means for me.

MissEmily5 · 27/11/2023 18:43

@Beccylou94 that is ridiculous! Your GP is meant for any medical concerns not just emergencies. I understand they’re busy but this is important. I hope you get the answers you need with your new doctors.
Oh really? Which pgd tests do you use? :)
ahh right, did you have a positive OPK this
month so you can pinpoint when you ovulated?

Familyfirst12 · 27/11/2023 19:16

I’m so confused… I had EWCM on Saturday but nothing since. No positive OPK yet and natural cycles says ovulation is predicted on Wednesday. Is it normal for EWCM to show that early and then just disappear? Everything is so confusing!

Got my fingers crossed for you @Comet1992 !! X

Comet1992 · 27/11/2023 19:34

I didn't get a chance this morning was up and out very early will test first thing tomorrow I will be 11dpo 😬🤞🏻I really hope this is my month

@MissEmily5 exactly! They've been pretty useless the last year or so tbh. Problems when phoning about things to do with LO too. Swapped us both over now. Thanks me too.
Wondflo ones? Off amazon. Nope I never really get peaks so I just thought I'd try one. Go with what the app predicts until I know better I guess. Where abouts are you in cycle now?

Comet1992 · 28/11/2023 06:48

11dpo for me too it's BFN must of been an evap line 🙄

nervousn3lly · 28/11/2023 08:03

@Comet1992 sorry to hear that, those evap lines are soul destroying I hope your ok x

Comet1992 · 28/11/2023 08:11

@nervousn3lly I know I've read so much on easy at home I will use them until they are gone but not getting them again looked at the test again and there's another evap line from today the wondfo ones are better no evap line on them 😣 hope your ok too there's still time but had funny stomach today and that usually happens before AF so think I'm out
