@lastbany maybe you are too early if af could be another few days too and test isn’t strong enough. I’m not sure. Where you rang for prescription could you ask their opinion too? I don’t want steer you wrong or get hopes up. I have done few early tests too

chloedancer897 · 12/04/2021 14:56

@lastbany it could still be too early. Are you tempted to order the prescription anyway and then test again in a few days?

Luna1108 · 12/04/2021 16:26

Just catching up!

@lastbany try and get an FRER, they sell them in boots. You want a pink dye test because apparently blue dye ones aren’t as reliable.

@chloedancer897 how’s the new cycle treating you??

@Shelleybe have you tested???

chloedancer897 · 12/04/2021 16:53

@Luna1108 finished my tablets. No symptoms at all! This will be an unmonitored cycle so I'll start OPKs in a few days and hoping to DTD every other day for the whole cycle (if I can put up with that much!lol)

How are you?

Shelleybe · 12/04/2021 16:57

@Luna1108 I haven’t... I don’t know whether to just go for it or am I too early to test.. AF due Wednesday and I’m on CD23 and I got my peak on stick 1st April... I don’t know whether to wait or just go try... I’ve done a load of early tests before so I think that’s what is putting me off...
when are you going to test?

@lastbany same as Luna said pink I hear is way more accurate if trying early

@chloedancer897 that’s good no side effects. Best of luck this month... this is your month x

Luna1108 · 12/04/2021 17:30

@chloedancer897 I’m just muddling through until I can test, 7dpo today. It’s torture!

@Shelleybe I’m going to try and wait to test until Friday or even Saturday. Can’t face a bfn to be honest!

lastbany · 12/04/2021 17:57

Sorry all been out! They said to wait till AF starts and then restart the meds! Helpful! Gonna give it a few days! Get to cd30 then if still bfn will assume it's deffo! As if I ovulated any la far than cd15/16 there's no way I am preg!

I don’t think I want to test early ladies. I think I have so many times and always BFN... I just feel I’ll jinx myself although I think my AF could be coming maybe tomorrow even. Hungry and lower cramps ... my usual round this time..

chloedancer897 · 12/04/2021 20:30

@Shelleybe I know exactly how you feel. Seeing AF is awful, but seeing a BFN is the most horrible feeling in the world. Do what's right for you. You're not out until AF comes x

chloedancer897 · 12/04/2021 20:30

@Luna1108 the TWW is the worst!!! I'm CD8 but I'm getting cramps like I'm ovulating and CM is the same! Think it's just the clomid messing with me

Shelleybe · 12/04/2021 20:36

@chloedancer897 aw exactly. I feel like I buy them and it’s a waste when I could wait for AF and then take one if late 🙈 but then I’m mad to know! Two days wait.... I was same with clomid crampy. Hopefully few days and see positive OPK x

lastbany · 12/04/2021 20:43

@chloedancer897 I know I'm still getting that at cd25 lol so annoying!! I think this time I'm going to have to fork out for clear blue ovulation sticks get the clomid and do things strict lol and if it doesn't work gonna give it a rest and get my summer body on and forget babies lol

OP posts:
Shelleybe · 12/04/2021 20:45

@lastbany I think I’ll do Clearblue as well cheap ones were hit and miss same day I did ones and both were different readings... I wonder if you are getting it could it be possible implantation. Mine just feel like period is coming

lastbany · 12/04/2021 20:48

@Shelleybe not sure I've never had implantation cramps etc before so not sure Mayve with clomid it's different? Although I honestly think I'm out x

OP posts:
Shelleybe · 12/04/2021 21:56

@lastbany I know what you mean I feel like my AF is coming.... just trying to think and accept it could be another month. I’ve lower cramps which I normally get day before period

Happinesscomesfromwithin · 12/04/2021 23:55

How many days after the last pill do you usually ovulate?

chloedancer897 · 13/04/2021 08:22

@Happinesscomesfromwithin 5-10 days after the last pill x

lastbany · 13/04/2021 12:20
