* OCTOBER 2019 - Testing Thread *

[chattychar1990]

Yeah, think its cos at the beginning of the cycle I was still off work so it was consistent at about 7am.. but now I'm back at work it changed to 6am when I input the temps. I wouldn't have thought that would make too much of a difference as they will all be the same time now xx

Hmmm that is strange. Maybe have a little look at the info you have put in something it’s so small that you have to change to make the triangle go to a circle. X

Can't wait to get off this roller-coaster this month . As CD5 just took an opk to get a base line for this month but forgot as still a little hcg in system need to wait to negative test will try Sunday as they said a week and hopefully negative to take another opk for baseline. xxx

@Jac2019 sorry hun, I’d wait til closer to when you normally ovulate. I don’t usually do cheapie opks til cd9 or 10. There’s still a chance you’ll ovulate. xx

 

[xMillie]

Can anyone see this second line or am I going mad and its just line eye or something lol. I noticed it at 4 mins and test says discard after 10mins.

I’ve never really done cheapie tests much before but I’m guessing they are rubbish and it’s just indent or evap and it’s nothing as frer was negative this morning. It came in the post with my cheapie opks today and I thought why not use it cause it’s probably crap anyway.

I know it’s pointless me posting this . I just have to wait and see if AF turns up in 2-3 days x

 

[Jac2019]

I normally test Opk around 9dpo just don't want to miss though not even 100% sure trying just incase it's off with ovulation too.... Oohhhhhhhhh I see that line.. Please get darker little line... Good luck I'm excited for you xxxx

 

[CrazyChic]

I do see something but maybe an indent. These tests are awful for this.

I hope I'm wrong though and it's the start of your bfp. I've heard of people getting negative in the morning but faint positives later on in the day xx

 

[xMillie]

Yes I think it could easily just be nothing as well with how crap these tests probably are. So will try not to get my hopes up.

Glad I’m not the only one able to see it though. I thought it was a lot clearer in person.

I’ll just have to wait and see. xx

I just wanted to share this as it really resonated with me and my situation. I met with my counsellor yesterday. We discussed the impacts of stress and worry on trying to conceive. She told me that when you are under a lot of stress, rather than just day to day life stresses, your body releases the stress hormone cortisol. When this happens, your blood and energy divert away from any non-essential organs or areas of your body. Your reproductive organs would be classed as non-essential and therefore harsh, consistent stress takes away from such an important area. She advised me that a doctor will not tell you that the two things are linked. But there is extensive research and it makes for really interesting reading. So it's really important not to put so much pressure on ourselves and try to avoid stress! Although this is obviously easier said than done, there are things that can be done to help relieve stress. She said yoga and meditation are fantastic for this. And it's so right! I fell pregnant first time round in 2 months of trying and didnt know half of the stuff I know now. So for me, I need to remember that I am able to fall pregnant and allow it to happen when I'm not in a place where I am so stressed about getting pregnant that my body thinks I cant carry a pregnancy safely.

I see something on that test. I hope it’s not an indent! I can see colour in it.

 

[chattychar1990]

I do see something on that @xMillie but I really don’t trust them.
I had a faint line on one of those last cycle and it wasn’t a bfp. Have seen a few ladies on here have faint lines too and their AF arrived.
Obviously I really hope this is the start of your bfp but surely the FRER would have picked it up this morning as they are more sensitive.
i hope the line gets darker xx

 

[Kholl]

I see that Millie and I really hope it's the start of your BFP.
Good luck ladies

 

[SockVortex]

I see the line Millie! I so hope this is it!

I can 100% see that line, if they are the one steps I’ve used them loads and never got an evap on them, that looks like the start of a bfp to me, really hope I’m not wrong, was it defo an early result frer you used this morn?

yes was a one step cheapie. The frer was an early 6 days before one.

I would’ve thought the frer would’ve shown something this morning but who knows.

I’ll just wait and see and hope it’s just too early I guess xx

my cheapies showed before the frer when I got my BFP! Hope this is it for you!

I also agree with this and have tried implementing but run into the same problems. So much easier said then done.
@xMillie I really hope this is it for you!! I've had a few faint lines on cheapies and gone on to had AF show up normal, but I hope that's not the case for you.

I can see it but I posted a few of those a couple of weeks ago that lead to nothing! Have had some the last two days as well but until I see pink on them I’m not going to bother analysing them anymore! Xxx

 

[Littleperson]

Still no AF and 37.2 this morning! Not feeling hopeful for a bfp but deffo think I’m going to have another 36 day cycle and ovulated on the 15th!!! Time will tell! I’ve got a party this weekend so really hope af hold off now xx
