October 2018 Testing Thread

[Dinkydizzy]

Oooh thanks! This is only my 4th month using opks and the first 2 months I barely got positives for 12 hours, last month was 2 days and this month is the first month they’ve been darker than the control line and have lasted for 3 days so fingers crossed!!

See if this works. I'm using femometer so added temps to ff

It did! Sorry for the late reply. Doesn’t look like you’ve ov’d yet.

I’m 4 dpo today and doing allllll the things I said I wouldn’t do this cycle like googling :roll eyes: I have no doubt I’ll be symptom spotting by the end of the week, so weak.

I think it's impossible not to! On holiday it was easy to ignore as I was busy, as soon as I got home - different story. I've never been so more aware of my body, lol. My stomach has been weird and solid for days since the uti, even before, it's like a rock!

Temp went up this morning to 37.17 so I wonder if the spike is starting

 

[Vespa]

That sounds like you may have ovulated yesterday. Did you get anything on your opks?

If your temp stays up for another two mornings then FF will tell you you ovulated yesterday.

Hahaha we always say we won't symptom spot next time, but it's human nature, you can't help it!

CD2 today, forever to go it feels like. Doesn't help that this is probably the heaviest AF I've had! Started taking EPO capsules last night and took my temp for the first time this morning, something new to keep me entertained this cycle! X

I know, what are we like?!?

Ooh, new things always help pass the time! I’m interested to know how the EPO works out for you. It’ll be time to start again before you know it!

 

[Hendy1]

Oh symptom spotting, I am 1/2 DPO today, how long until the phantom symptoms take over my life again?? Im going on holiday in 5 days so hopefully that'll make the TWW less painfully slow than normal!

nothing on the opks, literally faintest of faint lines. Last month I got definite positives CD12&CD13. I'm at work now so hard to test, will do when I get home later this afternoon.

It's all very strange.

OH was knackered last night, he said he was going to bed and I said I needed him and snuck up with him, lol. Hope he's feeling less knackered today!

If I did Ov yesterday, BD today and how much from then on?
If I didn't then carry on every other day?

 

[Vespa]

So from SMEP I usually do once at positive opk, once the next day (usually ovulation day) and once the day after that O+1.

I’d do it again tonight and then every other day. Should be enough until you figure out what’s going on.

I'll let you know how the EPO goes. Anyone else on here tried/trying it? One of the ladies who got her BFP in September thread used it for that cycle, could be coincidence though. It's meant to help with CM, I don't usually get much EWCM and didn't get any around ov time last cycle, so thought it's worth a go.

As for starting temping, I'm sure I'll be asking you ladies on here for advice, as I've never done it before and don't know how it all works! I had a crazy cycle this month with positives on 3 occasions, so thought temping would help me to confirm ov in case this happens again.

I’ve been using grapefruit juice for ewcm the last couple of cycles and I think it’s definitely an improvement on what it was. I was concerned about the acidity though so maybe EPO next month depending on how you find it.

well he can have a rest after tonight

 

[Mandy123]

Oh i had to google what EPO was! Lol! What do you do with it?! Lol sorry still learning!
I think I ovulated Sunday or yesterday but I had some serious cramping this morning that I doubled over! Not usual for me, does anyone else get that?!

He's on a training day today so it's an easy 8 hours compared to the 13 hour shift yesterday. He really is a bugger. text me yesterday to say he'd just fed a baby and she was beautiful. then told me about it when he got home, she was 6 weeks I think.

I can't even imagine anything beyond trying to get pregnant right now, it's like my mind is focused on that and if and when we succeed it will move on to the next part. I think he's picturing it all the time and far more than he is letting on to me. And he always talks about a girl, he's besotted and we don't even have one yet!

my abdo hasn't felt like I own it for a week, driving me mad

I'm taking a prepregnancy vitamin this month. they are massive and they smell of iron

Ironically, I always have grapefruit juice as I prefer it over orange. Never knew it could be beneficial. I like it as it's sharp and like a smack in the face in the morning
