Just checking if anyone else around CD13 wants to join this thread? Was nice to have a group going last cycle.
I just entered my fertile window today. OPKs says I haven't ovulated yet but they're getting darker every day ☺️

Morning ladies, how is everyone doing? So I tested this morning as I have woken up slightly nauseous the last 2 mornings (plus have had very tender breasts for a few days). It seems like it should be too early for a positive test as my Natural Cycles is telling me that I ovulated between a week and 5 days ago. Am I just seeing things or do you see a positive line on this? Tested twice as I didn’t believe the first one! The top one is about 15 mins old, so not reliable, but the line I see appeared within about 2 or 3 and got darker after it evaporated. Ahhhhhhh - input on how early it is would be very appreciated to see if I can trust the result!

Definitively two positives! Congratulations! You must be more than 7dpo to get tests like that. I would guess at least 10dpo. If you did ovulate cycle day 13 or 14, you’d be 12/13dpo, which makes more sense in terms of those results.

@Pololol I used LH and natural cycles at the time of my first pregnancy, never had a LH ‘high’ either and apparently managed to conceive 7 days before supposed ovulation - you never know what your body is actually up to 😄 congratulations!

This makes me feel reassured that it’s not just a false positive!
I have just been wondering to myself whether it could be that I did ovulate when I thought but it’s twins.. as I’ve heard about higher HCG levels for that. My dad is a fraternal twin, so there is a small possibility 🫣.
Im trying to keep the excitement at bay and plan to take a digital test on Saturday to share with my partner as he will be more excited by that than the 2 lines I’ve been hoping for my whole life!

Pololol · 25/01/2024 11:51

@Applesandcake thank you! Trying not to run away with myself too much and will take a digital at the weekend to share with my partner if that’s showing as positive!

JunkJane · 25/01/2024 14:31

@Pololol I'd say that's a positive! Congratulations!

robinmarl · 25/01/2024 14:38

@Pololol ahh imagine! That would be amazing. Keep us posted on how the line progresses ☺️

I’d secretly love twins - although I already have a 2yo -so I think my husband would have a breakdown 🤣

Congratulations @Pololol ! They look very positive. I'd say you're about 11-13dpo with tests like those 🥰
@Applesandcake hope you're feeling better now but I think a migraine is a good sign! Only two more days until we can test 🤞🏼

@Pololol congrats!

You're giving me some hope, I'm feeling rather nauseous tonight (in both my pregnancies I had evening sickness rather than morning!) though they didn't start until 8weeks and 5 weeks, and I'm only 8dpo right now but who knows...

I've been telling myself it can't be a sign of anything this early on.

Trying not to symptom spot but it's given me a reason to pee on a stick tonight. Really trying not to get my hopes up!

Bb542 · 25/01/2024 21:44

How's everyone this evening? I'm a bit worried because I don't have many symptoms and went for a run this evening and felt fine. Was nearly hoping I'd feel tired 😂

I've also started to get the urge to test... 7dpo tomorrow but trying to wait until at least Saturday 😭

Every day is now agonising waiting to tests! 6dpo today. I know myself and I’m going to end up testing on a cheapy tomorrow just to curve the urge. I won’t use a more expensive test though as that’s really just throwing money away.

I’ve ended up ordering some FRER off Amazon despite saying I don’t trust them anymore! So by tomorrow when they arrive I will have 18 easy@home tests, 3 boots early tests, 2 FRER and a digital!! Enough do you think?!

I feel sick this evening also, which is interesting, but like you Confusedddddd I didn’t have sickness until 6 and 7 weeks with my first two (and then oh my god, I had it horrendously), so can’t really think that’s a sign. More likely I hadn’t eaten enough before taking my vitamins!

Thank you so much!
I succumbed and did my digital test this evening which was a BFP, so I’m delighted.
Me and my partner are a bit in shock as we thought it might take a few months, but so excited too!
I am wishing all the positive vibes for you all 💕💕

Confusedddddddd · 25/01/2024 22:31

Haha @Applesandcake you have plenty! I have 3 digitals too but I know they won't show pregnant til much later, also they are left over from my first pregnancy 2.5 years ago.

I bought wondfos this time as I've stopped trusting easy@home as I kept getting a second line after the timeframe. The issue with testing this early is I keep looking at the test thinking I'm seeing a line but I'm not.

Bb542 · 25/01/2024 23:12

You've plenty @Applesandcake !! Way more than I have. I must order more. I've two boots ones and a few cheapies.

Applesandcake · 26/01/2024 10:37

7dpo and I tested! Only a cheapy to curb my urge to waste a proper one. Obviously negative. The weekend and Monday are the big ones. Very nervous. I can notice symptoms but they can be explained by other things and not unique to this month.

I just really want it be pregnant! And practically this month would work very well for work and life commitments.

If someone could just say you’ll definitively be pregnant within 6 cycles, I could relax but there is always that slight worry in the back of what if I can’t have another? Which is irrational as it’s cycle 2 and I’ve conceived three times before easily, but I’m 38 and still breastfeeding and you never know!

Confusedddddddd · 26/01/2024 12:13

@Applesandcake that how I'm feeling. Also 38 but I'm on cycle 7 now. First time was 6 months at 35 and second (ectopic)was accidental at 37.

I have one good ovary and one that keeps growing cysts and doesn't really ovulate anymore. I don't have a tube on the side of the good ovary since the ectopic. I've been told the other tube will pick eggs up from the good ovary but I'm not feeling convinced. I really just want to know it's possible. My gynae doesn't want to refer us for further tests until we've been trying a year as we've conceived twice before.

Applesandcake · 26/01/2024 14:30

So! I’m sure this will be an evap but I could another test this afternoon (I known I’m ridiculous). 7dpo. I can see the tiniest shadow… I’ve heard people get shadows on easy at home test so I’m certainly not reading into it at all, but I saw it within the time frame and now am scared I’ll be extra disappointed if it’s negative tomorrow!

Anyone else in their fertile window?
Confusedddddddd · 26/01/2024 15:02

@Applesandcake I see it! And the fact it was in the timeframe is a good sign!

Confusedddddddd · 26/01/2024 15:02

It’s soooo light in person though. I’ve caught i on camera at the angle it shows up as but in person some angles it’s totally white.

Was it you who said they don’t like easy at home tests? I’ve not used them before.

Bb542 · 26/01/2024 16:25

Omg! I see a line. If it came up within the time frame that's a great sign. I had lines like these on easy @ home last month but they all came up way after the time frame and they looked like evaps. Yours looks good. 🥰 will you take another?
I tested last night with a cheap Amazon one and it was stark white negative. Literally just tested there using easy @ home and it's negative too.

It definitely was in the time line as when I first saw the test I thought “omg!” As I saw it straight away but then after a second it seemed to disappear. It entirely depends on the angle. I’m feeling very sceptical after getting three evaps last month (on different tests though), but a tiny bit of hope is there.

I don’t think I’ll test today again, but obviously will properly tomorrow with more expansive tests also! Agh. This is the reason not to test early!!

How are feeling??

Bb542 · 26/01/2024 16:39

Try not to get hopes up too much but I think it could be good 🤞🏼 I just got some boots early tests so I think I'll use one tomorrow and one Sunday. I originally said I wouldn't test until Sunday but I couldn't wait and last night before I went to bed after a long hold I decided to stupidly test 😂 not going to lie I was disappointed to see the negatives but no idea what I expect testing at 7dpo 🤣

I'm feeling fine. No symptoms whatsoever. Boobs are maybe a tiny but sensitive but otherwise I feel normal 😭 I've got a bad feeling about this month... how are you feeling?

Okk so bfn this morning and now I’m bleeding when wipe but I’m not due on till next Friday !! Is this likely to be implantation bleeding or my period just a week early. My cycle is usually regular (29/30 days give or take) …..

How many dpo are you? If you’re not due until next Friday it could well be implantation. Depends how much blood?

You really never know. Loads of apparent symptoms can mean nothing and no symptoms can result in something.

Not testing is so hard. I’ll be testing tomorrow and will be thinking of us both! It would be amazing if we both got a bfp, but if we don’t, we’re only on cycle 2! Still very early.

Mum37of4 · 26/01/2024 17:33

@Applesandcake - well not exactly sure of when ovulation happened - I want to say around Tue/Wed last week - so I’d be about 10dpo. At the moment just light pink when I wipe… just seems odd if I’m on now as cycle is usually spot on to 29/30 days this would be very short at 24 days. (Although stress could be a factor)

Bb542 · 26/01/2024 20:17

@Mum37of4 it could be implantation as it may be too early for your period, keep us updated 🤞🏼

My easy @ home test from early has the biggest indent ever 🤦🏻‍♀️ its so easy to see but definitely an indent as it came up way after time frame and its skinny 🙈
