Is this positive for peak ovu?

[Bambin0]

Hi, I have an app to read the ovulation strips but it's saying it low. I'm expected to ovulate today or tomorrow. It looks really dark to me.
I'll attach a photo

The tests confuse me sometimes as well that’s why I also do bbt to confirm the day of ovulation.
No cramping yet today but I feel like shit. I’ve already drank so much but I’m still so thirsty and have a weird taste in my mouth.

Checked cm again and it’s still wet and stretchy like before and with a hint of yellow in it. It also dried on my underwear yellowish color, it was drying white the days before.

@Bambin0 and @emmatcc1 just caught up on your posts as I'm currently only 4dpo and trying to distract myself. Holding out hope for you both & praying you get your BFP's soon, both your symptoms sound promising 🤞I'm debating whether testing on Saturday at 9dpo is too early or not, will be my first time using the easy@home cheap tests!

@emmatcc1 they really are, and there are so many interpretations of when ovulation may actually take place. Definitely will do temps for next month if I'm out this one.
Oh those are also really good signs, I was so thirsty the other day but just the one day.
Is the cm all very new to you?

@mountainlass hello love :) thank you for joining us. Very early days for you. But totally get the pain of waiting in limbo. Have you noticed any lil symptoms or changes?

9dpo is classed as early but I also can't help myself and would totally support you in poas so early too lol 😆

@Bambin0 no symptoms or anything yet, but this is the first month I've actually felt positive & hopeful for good news. We've had 2 losses previously, we lost our first baby at Christmas due to a rare genetic condition at 20 weeks. It was the hardest time of our lives and we started trying again in March but ended up having a chemical pregnancy. We've had some genetic counselling and been told it's extremely rare we are carriers and there's a very low risk of recurrence so we are just praying for a BFP in the next few months that will lead to a happy & healthy pregnancy!🤞❤️

How many dpo are you now? Hope you are keeping okay

@mountainlass Hello, I think 9dpo is a reasonable time to start testing, I’m starting on 9dpo as well. So sorry to hear about your losses.
@Bambin0 I don’t remember having this kind of cm mid tww. Even with my pregnancy I got the same cm on 14dpo that I get before af, then throughout my pregnancy it was very watery and thin. I’ve also had a 4th pregnancy dream last night in this cycle.
Still it happened before that I had so many convincing symptoms just for af to show up.

Aw darling I'm so sorry. Bless you both. But I am glad you are feeling positive for this cycle love. It's not easy but there is hope, there are so many great stories on these sites. They are so positive. My fingers are also crossed for you. It'll be nice to share in the journey with you. Yeah very early for symptoms, they come on so fast as well so each day can totally vary from the next :)

@emmatcc1 oh you're gonna start testing tomorrow morning then? Exciting

Yeah that's the thing, they can be so similar to AF on the way. But I'd definitely say all the symptoms so far so early on are a good sign. When is your AF due Emma?
Sorry if I've asked that before

@Bambin0 Af is due on Sunday for me. I’m trying so hard not to test today.

I caved and did a test, obviously negative but it satisfied the urge.

@Bambin0 thank you so much for the kind words. It does help coming on here and hearing other people's stories, ttc can feel so lonely and it's comforting knowing there's others out there who understand exactly what I'm going through. We are definitely choosing to remain hopeful, I remind myself I'm fortunate to know I can conceive and cling on to that ❤️

@emmatcc1 are you 9 dpo today? That's still so so early, I've never tested positive in the past till 11 dpo and even then it's been the faintest of faint lines. You still have plenty time x

@mountainlass I’m 8dpo. I had a dip in my bbt yesterday which could be an implantation dip. Last pregnancy I didn’t test until missed period and got a strong positive.

@emmatcc1 haha 😂 relatable, glad it calmed the urge. I get it.
Still lots of time. Sunday so around about the same as me. We got plenty of time. That takes will power waiting till AF is missed.
I haven't tested since this morning. Will try again tomorrow morning. I seem to test better in the afternoon tbf.

@mountainlass I'm glad it helps you along the way love. Your time will come. But you're doing all the right things and it's good you're on here sharing it with us all.

Ive felt incredibly nauseous the whole day. Even before and after food. Like that hunger pain time sickness. Ugh

@emmatcc1 ahh still loads of time for you then at 8 dpo. Like you I've also been having really strange vivid dreams the last few days but I've put it down to stress and overthinking at night from ttc. Hopefully it is hormones though!

@Bambin0 thinking of you, keep us updated with tomorrow's test 🤞

Okay I also caved but look.... Theee faintest line. I reckon tomorrow will be a lot more vivid (I hope) this is the closest to a 'line' I've had lol @emmatcc1 @mountainlass

Better ones of CB @emmatcc1 @mountainlass

@Bambin0 ahh this is so exciting, I remember getting my first teeny tiny faint positive with the clear blue early test too and being in total disbelief. I had to buy more tests for the morning to confirm and my line was clearer by the next day. Hoping the same for you and it's the clear positive you deserve!

Aww I am so so hoping for that full line that will have me convinced. It's exciting and so nerve wracking at the same time. And I never walk away and leave a test, I have to watch it develope lol 😆 thank you so much love 😘 I'll be sure to keep you girlies posted and for whoever else stumbles upon our thread for some hope x

Well mine is still very much negative. I also stare at the test until it completely develops.

Hi @emmatcc1 and @Bambin0 wondering if either of you continue to use OPK's after your peak? Something told me to test today just to make sure I hadn't ovulated later despite getting my solid smiley on the clear blue test last Wednesday 22nd! I had all the usual ovulation signs like slight cramping and ewcm so I am fairly certain I did ovulate around that time last week. I just did a premom ovulation test today (currently should be 5dpo) and it looks quite dark still, usually my lh levels drop right back down ovulation, most of the month I struggle to see a line unless right around it! Do you think I've maybe ovulated later or does this look normal to you guys? I'm driving myself crazy

Pic for reference

Oh that does look very dark positive. Hmm yes I do use opk to track too and mines have been getting darker but not that dark. Have you got any hpt just to rule out earlier ovulation and possible pregnancy already. I'm still new to all the temps and tests matching etc so Emma is probs defo better with that side of advice lol

@emmatcc1 well there's plenty of time love. But understand the sinking disappointment still. I've tested this morning and it's like there's a shadow but barely there. Hate this. I'll buy some CB and frers when I'm paid

@mountainlass Without tracking bbt it’s impossible to know if you ovulated already. Sometimes your body gives all the signs and high LH but fails to ovulate and then tries again later. At 5dpo it can’t be pregnancy related as implantation has not happened yet and there is no hcg. LH can also rise before af but that happens a couple days prior.

I was walking a bit fast today running errands and I started getting pinching with every step right where I experienced sharp pain yesterday evening. Hope it’s a good sign.

That's so strange, I had that on my left when I was doing the shopping. Haha 😂 Have you read about that being a potential sign? Any other symptoms today?

I've continued to have ewcm and sore boobs.

Took another test and it's still not a convincing line (and not evap as they have been coming up as I've been watching them develope) I'll attach it. Negative on CB too.

@emmatcc1 @Bambin0 thanks for the help, I am hoping it's just my lh levels have remained a bit higher post ovulation than previous months. I was tempted to test but I know there will be absolutely no point at 5 dpo 😂 I've not got into temping yet but might try that next month for an extra security to know I've ovulated. I know some people swear by it but I just worry it will be more stress, this is only my third cycle of using ovulation tests so it's all new to me too :)

@emmatcc1 that could be implantation cramping! Is it just me the closer you get to testing time the more you convince yourself you're out for this month? Not feeling as confident now for myself but I have lots of hope for you both and been thinking of you ❤️
