December 2018 Testing Thread

[IVW]

I’m not thinking much into it as it’s still sooooo early! X

Nope best to think like that for sure. I have definitely come to learn you could have all the symptoms under the sun and it still not lead to a bfp.x

AF came for me today. Good luck to all you ladies still waiting this month x

Sorry pinkflamingo x

Okay I got a positive I mean darkest positive OPK I have ever gotten as in...super dark like control line.

What I am wondering is...I missed my last period but if I hadn't, this would be around when I ovulate. Is it possible that even with the 3.9cm cyst and missed period, maybe I am ovulating and getting back on track?

I know you ladies can only give opinions I just don't have experience with this.

I forgot to say my husband and I decided to pick up FRER in couple of days if still no AF

Worth capitalising on it just in case, I think!

Lol thanks! I hope to later

Day seven of high fertility ClearBlue digital thingies for me but still no peak. I’m beginning to think I’ve already ovulated and the machine hasn’t picked it up. On Saturday I had twinges on my left hand side (I don’t get this every month but have felt it before about 14 days before my period) and then Sunday evening and all day yesterday I felt nauseated which I read could be because of elevated hormones following ovulation.

So I’m possibly in the two week wait and possibly not! I’m going to keep testing for ovulation just in case and will keep BDing for as long as my husband can cope, haha.

Wish I could more accurately plan when to test!

Hey Sydney, I completely stopped temping too as it caused me too much stress and was messing up my sleep. This will be my first cycle that i wont really have a clue when i exactly ovulated so i can imagine it is going to be frustrating but maybe for the best as it will stop me from testing early i reckon.
Symptom spotting sometimes get way to much doesn't it, i try my hardest not to do it and only note down the big things that i can't ignore.
I had a chemical last cycle so i suppose i will look out for the symptoms i had then, i definitely felt different to the rest of my cycles. I think you just know!
Wishing you get your bfp this cycle. What day are you looking to test Sydney? xx

Yeah sadly, I was following along in your story I expect AF on 21/22 December.. it's just a case of if I can wait or not! I have 3 FRERs here and bought a batch of IC's on their way arrgghhhh!!!

Wow this is interesting geekmaker! I would baby dance for the next couple of days and test twice a day with an OPK to see if it gets lighter xx

Sock was you checking the lines on the CB sticks to see if they were getting darker?? X

Yup, every day but they don’t look any different to me. Husband is convinced todays was darker than yesterdays but I don’t know if he’s just trying to make me feel better, lol.

Hey. What cycle day are you on. I have a 28/29 day cycle and have been using the same ovulation tests as you. I’d always get to 7 days (high fertility) and just stop testing. I tested right through last month and I don’t ovulate till cd 17/18. You may just ovulate later. Worth maybes just testing for longer to see. Good luck xx

 

[GeekMaker]

Well...I had watery CM and a bit of blood in it so I'd call it spotting I think. It happened after bringing in lots of groceries with my husband. I put it on the calendar as I dont know if my period is coming it looked weird like very watery. But the good thing is if this is my period coming at least I can be on track.

Hi guys i wondered what science was behind sore nipples (not boobs just nippes) 1dpo + but 8dpo and today (9 dpo) it seems to have stopped

I’m on calendar day 20 today so there could be anywhere between 9 and 18 days left, haha. I’m hoping it’s one of the shorter cycles this month! I’ve cut out caffeine (I only drink tea haha so have switched to decaf) for the past two months and have been drinking more water to see if that helps regulate it.

Hi girls!
I see a lot of bad news since I was here last
I have a question... I really don't know for sure when I ovulate, cause it always seems a bit different (most of the months its cd17/18)... This month I had a VERY positive opk on cd14 and had some ovulation cramps. Unfortunately, I didn't bd cause I am being sooooo cranky past few days and just start constant arguments with DP so I wasn't in the mood.. Yesterday was cd15 and I had negative opk (I think so, my urine might not have been the best for a test...) and we dtd last night.. but I feel like I have missed my chance :/ I hate that I can never know for sure when I ovulate

I’d maybes keep testing. The instructions say to stop testing if hit 9 high fertility days in a row. But as your cycles vary you could ovulate at any time.
I’ve cut out caffeine too. Getting used to decaf coffee now. X

Sounds like your period could be on it's way, I've had nearly positive OPK just before my period started and also watery CM. x

I don't ovulate until 2 days after my positive OPKs, always get positive OPKs on CD15 and ov on CD17. X
