** May 2019 Testing Thread **

[SugaryIris]

Catching up here. Hope everyone is alright! Still no period, cycle day 56. I have labs to officially check for PCOS in a couple of weeks.

Good luck to everyone!

You seem to have similar cycles to me Hun, i have cycles over 60 days so I do think it is something that should be looked into.

Don’t worry about it though, it is very treatable, some people conceive on their own, some only need additional supplements, some take metformin and then some need a little help.

I hope you get some answers and if you need any questions answering about pcos then I’m happy to help xx

How are we all ladies?
I am about 11DPO today and i actually cannot breathe out of my nose. I am so bunged up. I feel absolutely fine in myself.
Last night i also woke up at 1.30am and i couldn't get back to sleep until 4am. Obviously when my alarm went off at 6am this morning i wasn't the happiest bunny. Very unlike me i normally sleep all the way through the night even when i get up for a pee i can straight back to sleep.
Not saying either of these are a symptoms but thought i would note it down. xx

I have been feeling a bit emotional in the last 3 days, only watery cm and yesterday ewcm while I'm on cycle day 24.I've had af type cramps for 5 days or so and I've had bad heartburn. It even prevented me from falling asleep last night.
I just did a test and had this come up within 10 minutes but I'm not sure whether it's an evap or not... 30 minutes later and the line is still there. Do evaps dissapear over time or not?

I definitely see something too, hope this is the beginning of a bfp for you!

My understanding is that Evaps can get darker over time but I could be wrong! Do you have another test of the same brand? I’d be tempted to test one with tap water to see if they are prone to evaps xx

I keep looking at it! It's still there! I will add some water when it's completely dried up, to see if the dye stays put. It's not a guarantee that it is a sure way to see if it's a true bfp but as I am verrrry impatient, I will try it!
I broke the cassette open for it to dry and it looks pinkish!

They are a regular store brand. I got my first bfp with this brand with my daughter and it started just like this.
I will run to the store when DD wakes up from her nap!

I hope this is a good sign and not a sign of af/ that you are getting unwell. X

I can definitely see it properly now. I really really really hope you are starting off May with a BFP xz

Fingers crossed! Also I didn’t know about the water trick!

 

[Kitana]

Thank you ladies! I'm literally just waiting for my DD to wake up so I can get another test! Hurry up and wake up child!

Are you going to test again today? Or wait until fmu?

If I were you I’d be buying the whole stores stock

 

[Niknaknoo]

Yay! Fx this is it kitana! And a sign of more to come! X

I've usually had stronger positives during the day than with fmu. If the hormone is already present in your urine, I don't think it matters if you take a test in the morning or afternoon, as long as you hold it a bit and don't drink too much obviously!
I'm going to get a more sensitive one than the 20mIU I just used.
I tried the water test and it's still there but don't think it's a fail proof way of knowing whether it's an evap or not.

Kitana - I have everything crossed that this is a bfp for you!

Could you remove my name for May - AF has arrived unfortunately

I'm so sorry hun... But maybe it's for the best, you will be able to start with a clean slate as I did.
