i think i see a shadow lovely but not too sure xxx

@MyPeppyLimeBear I can clearly see it! How many dpo are you? X

@MyPeppyLimeBear I’m not sure if I see a shadow (but I’m usually terrible at seeing anything) - how many days DPO are you?

@MyPearlBee Same here with the nausea becoming a PMS symptom after loss and the light headed/dizzy feeling. I also convinced myself i was pregnnat again this month because of this, I'm no longer taking any notice of symptoms 🙈

@megan345 @ChaE05 @GreenApple121 thank you for looking, all! I know it’s so hard to see here - I’m hoping we see some progression at the end of the week

I am still very early approx 9DPO (I think!) Xx

@BloomingOrchidea thanks for the reply and information. What is a TFMR? I currently take high dose vitamin D, Folate, iron& vit C and cq10. I will have a look for that book thanks again. Good luck with your journey.

Just wanted to say that’s a really brave and positive decision you’ve made and I hope it goes really well for you x

Well I'm 12 dpo today. And the next 24 hours onwards even if AF is coming 🤞🤞🤞 I've at least lengthened my luteal phase, maybe.
That is unless I start bleeding today.
In terms of testing I've promised DP to take a break from it.
I'm fighting the urge to just do it anyway at work but then also I'm kinda just like we'll I'm not pregnant anyway so just wait for bleeding. I dunno. Give it an hour and I'll have bought a test no doubt 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Hi @Ash2345f , do you use an app that scans it and tells levels? I use the free app premom, it takes a photo of the stick and tell me exactly LH levels that I couldn't distinguish by eye so I know peak. ❤️🤞🏻

Morning ladies,
Anyone else struggle to catch their peak with LH tests & have any advice?
I normally have a quick peak but manage to catch it, not sure whether it’s because I’ve drank loads as it’s been hot & so everything has been diluted? I’ve had the temp rise & EWCM day 12-14 but no peak.
told myself I was going to relax this month as I have a gp appointment this week as we’ve been ttc for over a year…relaxing isn’t going so well 😅

Interesting. Nearly all your tests look super strong. Are they normally like that?

I don't know if many know this but when you upload a test on the premom app there is a thing where you can go into the test and adjust the levels to correspond to the light of that in real life. If that makes any sense. So what I mean is it could be premom is reading them low but just from looking at your pics I'd say you peaked in the night of cycle day 14. At least one of those readings should actually be high if not 2 or 3. Because you can clearly see the lines are very close in colour to the control line.
I think like me sometimes when you peak at night you get a semi high line that day and the next morning it's pale again and it's like wtf did I even ovulate. 🤣 But when I figured how to adjust it in pre mom it helped make it more sense as more were then changing from low to high in the app. Xx

Sooo you click where it actually says like 1.01 high. And it'll show the screen where you can move the cursor to match the colours on the app to the colours on the real life test xxx

@EmPeEf weirdly, no, they usually hover about 0.2/0.3 until my peak but i've never had them this strong for so long, they've dropped right back down now to 0.2.
@YKM2829 thank you, I had no idea about that! thats what im thinking, i'm like when did it happen 😂positive side of that is there was absolutely no pressure when DTD because I didnt realise those days were important 😂

Sorry nutlple comments 🤦🏽‍♀️ but this is what I do with my ovulation tests where I'll maybe not actually log them until after I've started to get lighter tests again that way we'll I can see the pattern in real life even if the app ends up not working lol and I'll probably only log them as high not peak myself unless premom has detected that already x

Hi lovely, all your tests look so much stronger than mine ever did. I tracked ov for 3 months and never ever found a single peak (I was testing twice a day). But I have just had a faint line on pregnancy test so obviously I was just missing it. Try not to worry too much and continue to bd around the time you think you may ovulate xx

Hi ladies,

played around with the brightness on the test photo just to give myself a bit of reassurance, it’s definitely there. I feel so anxious. Forcing myself not to test until I get my blood test on Wednesday. Sending love to you all x

Thank you!
Always good to hear a different perspective because i've always not thought they're not very strong, probably fallen victim to seeing lots of people get peaks of 1.2 and assumed thats what I should be getting. Tbf not knowing when i'm ovulating has made BD'ing much less stressful which has been nice!
Congrats on your positive, hope everything goes smoothly for you xx

@YKM2829thats useful to know! Sometimes i just eyeball it now if its close enough to the control line, i will assume that day or tomorrow il get my peak now and i tested after 2 days and levels had dropped back down. Well done for taking that first step, can't understand how frustrating it may be, but things will get better hopefully its just quite traumatic and i had therapy too before DS was born as i was extremely anxious due to previous mcs and it helped me lots ♥️

3DPO and feeling very relaxed this TWW, lots of twinges down there but honestly i know to ignore it

congrats @MyPeppyLimeBeara lot easier to see on the cheapie than frer but defo there. Congrats @Bumblebee1984great news.

sorry if ive missed any ofher bfps! Had a lot to catch up on! But congrats to you too

when do we stop taking coq10? And why? Sorry my brain needs to know

Hi all. Bit late as took a few days out but on the recent threads!
ttc no1, on cycle 15, 2x chemicals. CD12 and predict I’ll ovulate CD14/15. Second cycle trying progesterone 🤞🏻

couldn’t help myself and nipped out on my lunch break to pick up some clear blues which I know are notorious for not giving anything. After almost a year of BFN this teeny tiny blue line does feel very special.

I'm now 10dpo with a BFN on a cheap strip test. Got some FRER due to be delivered today. Not sure if it's worth taking one. Am I likely to see a bfp on a frer if the cheapie is negative 🤔 been quite crampy alongside the BFN so have a feeling I'm out this month

Found you guys! I was away last week like some of you and I've also been quiet as it's been the first half of my cycle which I tend to find easier. Sort of took a break from thinking tooo hard about things.

BUT, I am now CD12 and my LH tests are still so low, and it's doing my head in. Previous two months of using LH strips and Premom app I had my peak on CD12, both times, so I was really expecting to have had a high reading by now, if not a peak. I did one a few mins ago after a 5 hour hold, haven't drunk much, it was reading as literally 0! Wtf?! Having said that, my last two cycles were also 24 days compared with my usual 27, so maybe I need to consider the possibility that this will be a later ov and more typical cycle length... watch and wait I guess.

Thanks to those sharing their BFPs, it really does give us hope. You're in our thoughts during this very nerve wracking part. Sorry to those who have missed out this cycle.

Hi All, great to see some BFPs and wishing all the best for them to stick & those lines to darken. I tend to ovulate around CD13 (27 day cycle). I am currently CD9 and got my first flashy smiley yesterday so we're in 'high fertility' according to the CB tests. I predict I will ovulate Friday. We bd last night & will keep on the rest of the week. I say it every month, but aim to be calm & not have a meltdown. Cried at DP on Saturday about how stressful it all is each time. For those new to the thread, I am 37 TTC baby 1 (probably will be our only baby) and on cycle 7 now. I mc at 7 weeks in Feb & chemical in March.

@NatalieSF I would wait until tomorrow with first wee of the day with the FRER if you can hold out. FRER should be more sensitive than a cheapie. Fingers crossed for a line 🙏

@MyPeppyLimeBear congrats on your long-awaited BFP & I hope those lines darken for you. I have a few of those CB in the cupboard & refuse to early test with them as they give such terrible evaps!

@hollyhocks2 your peak is maybe still to come! maybe tomorrow or day after (CD 13/14) if you're on a 27 day cycle like me.
