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

@Bambin0 I really think your tests are gonna be stronger tomorrow.
I’m okay, had some nausea earlier. I think I’m gonna do one more test tomorrow and if bfn then I’m gonna stop testing.

Well if it gives you a little more hope, those tests I took this morning had me totally done, they were WHITEE.... And those ones there were very late pm and it was the same day. So it shows how quickly it can change (if I am for sure preggies that is) Please keep me posted 💕🥹🤭

Update for this morning, took more wondfos at 6am but peed around 3.30am so it wasn't a long hold. And in my previous pregnancies I seem to get better lines in the evening. I'm hoping that's the same for this one if I am pregnant again. It's a horrible feeling going from a bfp to a bfn but I guess it's still early days 🥹

@Bambin0 No way how is this possible. Those were definitely positive. Probably the hold wasn’t long enough. I’m hoping for better lines this evening.
I haven’t tested and probably won’t. My bbt went up today buy it should be dropping in a day or two.

I know, it's so confusing, but I do pee a lot lately and it's hard for me to hold lol 😆 I was so nauseous this morning, this can't be normal, I feel full of progesterone. Oh you're waiting till evening that's a good idea. Fingers crossed for you love 😘 is the dip a good sign?

I got 3 bfp’s and thought it was ot.. then got bfn the dsy after. Had bloods taken and was told I wasnt pregnant… but a week later got more BFP’s and currently 4 weeks and 5 days. It happened to me so dont lose hope xx

emmatcc1 · 30/05/2024 10:21

@Xxfifixx89 That’s odd. Have you done more bloods or more tests to track progression?
@Bambin0 If bbt starts to drop that means af is on the way. Bbt is actually a way to track progesterone. The rise after ovulation happens because progesterone rises and then by the end of the cycle when progesterone drops so af can arrive the bbt also drops. I feel way too normal to be pregnant.

Yes done several and attached the last few days and i have ordered a clear blue digital to take at weekend. I feel dreadful though but currently away so not sure if its the heat making me feel sick. I was using the internet cheapies that confirmed it, then done a FRER and boots early and all positive. The ones below are the clear and simple cheap ones from home and bargains. Xx

emmatcc1 · 30/05/2024 10:54

@Xxfifixx89 Oh okay must have been evaps when you first got positive tests.

mountainlass · 30/05/2024 11:46

@Bambin0 so sorry you've not got your clear positive today, testing early is so hard :( try again this evening or even tomorrow morning if you can manage. Hopefully you see progression ❤️

In March when I had my chemical pregnancy I still waited until 11 dpo to test and got my faint positive, it actually got darker the next few days and was looking really good. I stopped testing for a few days then tried my digital and I got the result "not pregnant". It was devastating so I know how you're feeling when the result is disappointing and you get your hopes up. Try and distract yourself and do something nice for yourself today x

Bambin0 · 30/05/2024 15:38

@Xxfifixx89 @emmatcc1 @mountainlass
Thank you so much for the support and hope girls ❤️ I haven't tested again. I'm gonna test tomorrow evening probably as I'm away with family right now. The wait will kill me. Lol 😆 I should be 12dpo by then so really hoping I start to see some line progression at least x

OP posts:
Bambin0 · 30/05/2024 17:49

I've ordered first response for tomorrow girls so I'll be using those since I've just read they measure as little as 6.2mui of hcg or however it's spelled. And I think come then and even that's negative I'll leave it till AF. X

emmatcc1 · 30/05/2024 19:10

@Bambin0 That’s a good ideas. Frer should clear out the confusion.
I’ve been having some mild cramps all day, af is probably gonna be early this month again.

Trying not to think about it, roll on Sunday 😬🤭
Hold on in there love, could be either or 💕

Bambin0 · 31/05/2024 10:48

How are you girls this morning?

Still sore boobs, not hungry at all. Less nausea. Lots of cramps and back pain (baring in mind this started very early dpo maybe 5-7)
Testing with frer tonight.
Have you guys tested again since?

OP posts:
mountainlass · 31/05/2024 11:05

@Bambin0 that's all good symptoms, hoping for a positive result on your FRER 🤞How many dpo are you now?

I'm 8dpo today and still not tested, I'm going to try and hold out till Monday morning first urine, I'll be 11 dpo by then and using an early test so whatever the results is I suppose it will most likely be accurate & I won't need to keep second guessing! Going out for lunch with a friend and her baby soon, I've not seen her much following the loss of my daughter as I've found it really difficult but trying to be strong ❤️

emmatcc1 · 31/05/2024 11:08

@Bambin0 Doing good. Bbt dropped a tiny bit but not enough to say if af is on the way.
I haven’t done anymore tests.

emmatcc1 · 31/05/2024 15:23

I’ve just done a test and it’s negative so I’m definitely out.

Bambin0 · 31/05/2024 16:24

@mountainlass so sorry my love 💕 but I hope you had a nice time with your friend still. It's good to have a distraction from all this poas malarki. Keep us posted on your progress 🩷

@emmatcc1 I'm sorry love 😘 we can try again.

I'm also out. Sadly ....
I'm in a foul mood and cramping. She's coming I just know it. Stark negative early detection cheapies and frer. So disheartening but we try again this month coming🤞🏼🙏🏼

@Bambin0 So sorry, looks like we have another cycle together ahead of us.
I’m gonna have a talk today with my partner as I feel so alone in this. I really want him to be more involved in this as he literally has no clue where in cycle am I and how long we have been trying.

mountainlass · 31/05/2024 19:58

@emmatcc1 @Bambin0 so sorry to both of you, it is so emotionally draining all this. I've not tested yet but my confidence for this month is dropping, if it's negative we are all in it together for next month ❤️ My fiance and me are away to Rome mid June so atleast if this isn't my month I can treat myself to a few wines on holiday, would have loved to have been pregnant though to be in our own little bubble.

@emmatcc1 I think that's a good idea talking to your partner, I felt the same issue a few months ago and things have been so much better. My partner now knows my cycle, when I'm ovulating, how many dpo I am and it makes me feel less alone now he understands. Hope this helps you too x

Oh love I totally understand. That's so strange cause I literally just had this chat with my partner today after the sad news. But I bought Flo premium, it was like £27 for the year. It links my partner like a joint account and it tells him every morning where I'm at, our chances of conception each day. It even tells him how I may be feeling (possible symptoms to expect due to where I'm at in my cycle) AND little quizzes for us.
Totally helps because I'll come in and he already knows and does research and suggests things before I even get a chance to look at the app myself after a busy day.

Also if you are really feeling it I'd be happy to pm you my WhatsApp and to maybe offer that little more of a shoulder to lean on. I know I'm a stranger essentially lol 😆 but believe me I know what you're feeling. Sending lots of love and hugs. I hope this helps 🩷

There's still so much hope left in it for you darling, don't get down so soon 💕 but yes I totally get the heavy weight of it all. Bless you all who have trying for a long time. I think I'd give it 6 months at a time then come away from it cause this consumes you genuinely.
But yes lovely we all have each other to keep on pushing on with along the way 🤞🏼
Haha 😆 yeah that's definitely a perk for holidays. I don't smoke or drink so when I got my negatives I couldn't even turn round and go "oh well I'll get to enjoy.... For another month" but it's not a bad thing.

I'm gonna buy a thermometer etc and start properly tracking and taking the right supplements. @emmatcc1 any tips and tricks?
