Just out of interest I plugged all my temps from ovusense into FF to see if it would give the same ovulation date. It did! So looks like I ovulated the day of my peak opk. I always assumed it was the day after! Interesting to know!

I wouldn’t think too much of it, I had it when pregnant with my daughter (it was my midwife who told me it was down to the supplements) and I’ve had it in bfn cycles too. Progesterone is a nightmare in the tww, all the symptoms mimic pregnancy symptoms x

Oh trust me i dont think im pregnant at all!! Lol i was more concerned it was perhaps a sign of something untoward in 2ww i am not ganna be temping now which is lovely honestly to know. Ill test nxt Saturday instead.. no more obsessive cervix checking

You obviously have a short surge rainbow! Or do you use clearblue opks? As I heard that because it’s fmu it can peak on the day rather than the day before x

Funnily enough I do use clearblue! Maybe that’s what it is! Changing to cheapies next month I think x

 

[soffphie]

i think the reason opks perhaps such as clearblue are slower at detecting peaks are because they advice fmu.. i use fmu for my cheapies... but ive heard it can give you less time to dtd as its generally advised LH doesnt show till afternoons. but like i said i use fmu because i wasnt getting any form of postives doing afternoon tests.

With clearblue you can use twice a day once you get flashing smile, I did this last 2 months and got my peak at night. This month I didn’t get any flashing ones and straight to peak. So strange! X

Congratulations Kitana and Rachel!

Babylove2016, how are you doing? Looks like we are both back here TTC number 2?
I'm on CD3. x

 

[Kitana]

Ladies I have the worst gas right now! 6dpo so too early for any symptoms and must be from my hormones due to my medication or something but I am literally tooting every 20 minutes or so this week! It’s really embarrassing!!!

Sugar this was one of my main symptoms! I was soooo gassy! Still am actually! That, watery cm and AF type cramps for several days (on and off).
Hope this is a good sign for you!x

I’m sorry the witch got you xx

Morning everyone! I hope you’re all okay!

So I took a blue the test this morning (yes I know blue ones are rubbish but I found it in my draw & just thought why not! Lol) My question is does the water trick work on blue dye evaps? I have a blue line but it is very thin and slightly off centre but from googling, it looks like these tests are always off centre. Wondering if I should try the water trick? xx

So sorry Helen... Hopefully they will find the cause soon.

Aw I’m sorry. Fingers crossed the tests shed some light. X

I tried the water test with my first test after it dried and the line stayed visible. It was a real bfp so it "worked" but don't think this is a failproof way of knowing whether it's an evap or not. You can always try...

I had never even heard of the water trick until you posted about it, do I leave the test to totally dry first before dipping in water? Xx

Yes wait for it to dry completely and then drop 3 or 4 drops of water on the spongy area. Might be better to just test again with a pink dye hpt

How’s everyone doing?

I’m trying so hard not to symptom spot and failing massively! Normally I’m ok at not spotting but because of the fertility treatments I seem to be noticing everything!

7dpo and have been unreasonably tired all day yesterday and still today. It’s too early for symptoms I know!

Then today there is a slight brown hue to my Cm on wiping and in my knickers. And I’m thinking IB! But, It could just be spotting or it could be a sign of low progesterone or a side effect from the injections before ovulation I don’t know. When we were first ttc I used to spot all through the tww although I haven’t for the past few months.

My mind is driving me crazy! Sorry to rant xx

It’s natural for you to symptom spot more this cycle. You must be feeling extra anxious about it. I so hope it’s worked for you, Iris

I had EWCM today for the first time since December :O I’m unreasonably excited haha.
