@LuxyLocket I agree that the tww went so much quicker this month! I too said to myself that I wouldn't test early but failed miserably 🤣

My line is a bit darker this morning 🤞

LuxyLocket · 16/10/2024 08:13

@owlcat24 Yeah sista!! I’m glad I’m not the only one who’ll probably be doing the early testing again!! 🙈💕how many dpo are you today? That’s exciting it’s darker! Promising 🙏I think 8dpo is maybe still a bit early but I might give in tomorrow and do a test.

owlcat24 · 16/10/2024 08:16

@LuxyLocket 10dpo today! I have no patience and self control when it comes to testing 😂

@HA22 how are you doing? Have you tested yet?

Hey ladies, how's everyone doing? I've got my fingers crossed for you all!
I have taken another test (I can't stop myself, and another digital)
AF was due yesterday and so far hasn't come! These were my tests today! Still no die stealer but looks promising? But digital still saying not?

What's your thoughts.. should it be darker by now?

What level of Miu/ml does the 1st test pic detect? If AF was due yesterday, you'd only just be 4 weeks (if ov when you thought) so levels can be as low as 10miu/ml, most tests don't detect levels below 25miu/ml unless it's an FRER. I'd personally take the 1st test as a BFP (if it was within the timeframe) the test line is a chemical reaction with HCG, even a very faint line means HCG is detected, just very low levels (unless it's a crappy test you can see the lines on before you use it or it's known for evap lines) Do what the internet says & wait a few days then test again 😅 I hate that advice, especially when you've already waited 2 weeks but it's the only way to know for sure before getting your hopes up. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽 it looks promising to me 😃

MrsS11 · 16/10/2024 08:41

@owlcat24 that's exciting! I lost track, did you catch another peak with your opks? Or was it just the lower one?

AnonymousSGJB · 16/10/2024 08:48

@LuxyLocket & @owlcat24

I don't know how you guys can cope with all the testing 😂 I find it really disheartening staring at a negative test, using your phone torch to try & see a line that isn't there 😅🤦🏽‍♀️I'm at 13dpo & haven't tested yet, I'm feeling quite anxious now but I'm not ready for disappointment yet so hanging on to see if AF shows up tomorrow🤞🏽

Justbloodylovecrisps · 16/10/2024 08:52

Morning guys! Right what do we think to todays test 🤣 it came up straight away, but it doesn't look pink (dried now) another neggy clear blue, I know they are rubbish but every time I ask my husband to get me tests he comes back with them

Lucky october?🤞🏼
owlcat24 · 16/10/2024 08:53

@MrsS11 no, that one must have been my peak!

@AnonymousSGJB and I don't know how you can wait that long 🤣 I'm too impatient and I'd rather know, whatever the outcome!

owlcat24 · 16/10/2024 09:45

@Justbloodylovecrisps I see it!! It's probably still too early to show up on a clearblue, unless it's an early detection one?

LucyLou0527 · 16/10/2024 10:15

I’m officially a part of the 2WW crew! Don’t know what to do with myself already lol.

@Justbloodylovecrisps this is looking very promising!

Fashionlover123 · 16/10/2024 10:16

Hi all!
I have been a silent reader this month trying to learn lots but want to join in the convo! First cycle trying to conceive baby number 1. I have been off the pill for 18 months after 8 years on it, have been trying to get used to my cycle. I generally have 32-34 day cycles and ovulate D18. This month I had a high OPK D17, peak D18 which was Saturday. DTD D15,17,18. Then yesterday I had EWCM!!! I usually get that the day of my peak but I thought I was 3DPO? So DTD again last night. Confused now as to whether I’m 4DPO or 1DPO. Has anyone else had that?
anyway good luck everyone this is definitely a confusing journey! 😊

Justbloodylovecrisps · 16/10/2024 10:19

@owlcat24 it's an early detection, so I'm suspicious it might be evap/indent. How are your tests today??

@LucyLou0527 🤞🏻🤞🏻😑

I've ordered some emergency same day delivery FRERs 🚨 I wish that the lines would be either blank or positive the evaps really throw me off 🤣

Justbloodylovecrisps · 16/10/2024 10:21

@Fashionlover123 hello!! Did you carry on testing after you got your peak? I had one for 3 days so I think I ovulated a bit later. I enter my tests into premom and it calculates it for you. I also get a EWCM for a day or two after 😊

Hi! I did one the day after my peak and it was low again which made me think that was my ovulation done..but currently away and ran out of strips!

I see 2 lines! Eeeeek!!! Test again tomorrow - clear blue digital don’t tend to be so sensitive! Maybe you ovulated later than you thought. A positive is a positive!!! Everything crossed!!!

Can I have some opinions on my post please

Mummysparrow · 16/10/2024 10:48

for some reason I cannot remove the tag for you @AnonymousSGJB🤣🤣🤣
Mumsnet clearly wants me to message you 🤣🤣

Mummysparrow · 16/10/2024 10:50

11dpo and a negative test again so on to cycle 4. I am nearly 5 months since my loss 😭

Justbloodylovecrisps · 16/10/2024 11:03

@Mummysparrow you've still got time! You're not out until after AF arrives ❤️🤞🏻

@Fashionlover123 maybe just keep on DTD until after it's all gone just to be safe 😊

LuxyLocket · 16/10/2024 11:05

@AnonymousSGJB I sort of use the early testing to keep myself hopeful but realistic. I don’t ever do digitals as I agree it’s sad for me to see the words ‘not pregnant’ If I don’t see any line progression then I try and prepare myself for AF coming, so that I’ve accepted it and it’s not such a disappointment(though of course it still is)
ive said to my husband that I only want to do a digital if I miss AF and he is there with me.
I also associate a digital test with the one I had to do to confirm my mc a few weeks after so that was very upsetting seeing ‘not pregnant’
I do get what you mean. 💕so yeah I basically just do the strips only.

owlcat24 · 16/10/2024 11:15

@Justbloodylovecrisps can you order some easy @home tests from Amazon? I find them very reliable, never had the negative ones never develop an evap even hours later.

I think my line is ever so slightly darker today but still very faint so I'm just going to keep testing and hope it gets darker.

LucyLou0527 · 16/10/2024 11:17

KateS1993 · 16/10/2024 10:44

Can I have some opinions on my post please

Wouldn’t you only be around ovulation time?

I ovulated 10 days after my last letrozole tablet😊

Plumchumm · 16/10/2024 11:20

I am 1dpo today :) still have some af type cramps, glad to be joining everyone else in tww. I actually went to get an ultrasound done the day of my peak (day before ovulation). I wanted to see if the egg had been released yet, and if I was in fact tracking correctly.

on the ultrasound she did see a dominant follicle, had not ruptured yet, but to my surprise it was on my right ovary. I’ve always thought that my right ovary doesn’t ovulate because I never feel it from there, but that’s where it was. She measured it and it was 16.4mm and my lining looked good. But she was kinda mean and said that my follicle is too small to be mature.

But I also heard that follicles can grow like 2mm each day, and I wasn’t supposed to ovulate till next day right? So idk. I hope it grew a bit more and all is okay. At least I am glad my lining looked okay - the last time I did this and had a miscarriage, my lining was too thin, and that’s bc I had taken a supplement that was similar to clomid. Never doing that again

KateS1993 · 16/10/2024 12:10

I had positive OPK already this month on 8th,9th,10th Oct

owlcat24 · 16/10/2024 12:34

@KateS1993 you said you had a very faint positive OPK. What do you mean? There will always be 2 lines on an OPK test but it's only positive if the test line is darker than control line. For example, on the photo only the top one is positive. The other two are negative.

Did you get an OPK where the test line was darker than the control line?
