***September 2018 Testing Thread***

[Maximus17]

So i just went to the loo and i had 1 single spot of blood when i wiped. Is this a sign of implantation?
I have never had this before? x

ah wow , it sounds promising. I never had implantation bleeding but lost of women get it. If it was implantation than you should get your BFP in 3-4 days. Good luck x

I have never had this before either when wiping myself. It is literally 1 single spot but was enough for me to double look. I don't want to get my hopes up at all and i'm not going to test until the 4th Sep (i say that now lol) x

you could start testing at 10dpo with frer. I would say thats the earliest, look who is talking tested at 7dpo

So that would mean i can test on Friday... the thought of it is making me feel so nervous and i don't know why lol. x

yes you can with frer though. With my last BFP I tested with clearblue (not digital) and got BFN on 10dpo, I did some research and says that one is 25ml, but frer is a lot more sensitive so it could potentially pick it up.

just to add don't get disheartened if it's negative as most people get their BFP at 12dpo. If it's making you nervous I would wait till 12dpo.

I think i am going to wait until the day AF is due... the day before i go to Cyprus for a nice relaxing break.
I don't wait to do a number of tests and see more than 1 x

Okay do I'm pretty excited!! First cycle doing the opks and I'm CD10. I got this squinted of a line on my I'll this morning and again just now! I know it's not exciting to most but I'm hoping this will be confirmation that I'm ovulating! Shall I just continue to do one in the morning and one around 2pm to try and catch the peak of the surge? Also, one I get that strong line, it means I'll ovulate up to 24hours after right?? Just wana get this right!!! Haha...

That lines is looking good hun. Just keep testing until you get that line as bold as the control
Line. It is so exciting when you see that line appearing. Yes when you see the strong line it means your about to ovulate so get into that bedroom

I was the same when i started using these strips, i was excited when i saw a glimmer of a line, as its an indication that the count down was on

what time did you do this one?

Tbh i never bothered with the timings. they say its good to test at 2pm, for the most part of us, that just isn't practical, so i just tested in the evenings at 8pm and got very strong readings for both and that was the month i caught.

Keep testing when you can, i can imagine you have a whole load of them?

 

[Maximus17]

I am feeling sooo down today even though I have been here all day. I feel so depressed after so many months of BFN and I can just feel this is another month of BFN. I just want to curl up and hide from everyone. I ate sooo much rubbish food as this is what I do when I am depressed. If this is not the month for me, I even thought of giving up again. Seriously there is no way I can live my life like this , always checking and thinking about TTC. I just want to move on....

I'm off work til Monday so not tricky keeping times atm. That was a 2pm one but the 8am one was pretty much identical... I have so many if them lol!! I may end up taking 3 a day to try catch it hehe. Exciting... hopefully I'll be as lucky as you xxx

Don't give up!!! It's such a tough road but you will get there and when you do, you won't think of all this waiting, you'll just be so happy. I really hope this is your month

Gosh 5 pages I had to catch up on lol
Please stay positive ladies Im so hopeful for you all this month.
Remember OPKs you will always have a line the LH hormone is present all the time but peaks just before ovulation so when the line is the same as the control line or darker then thats your positive .

As for me I got another positive on cd16 yesterday and got a negitive OPK today so looks like today could be ovulation as my temp has spiked a little today Im now in the 36c regions which only happens when I ovulate I normally sit in the 35c region so fingers crossed we can BD toinght. We DTD over the weekend so much but OH just couldnt so we sat down and had a talk to see with was effecting him and we figured it out so fingers crossed he feels better today otherwise this cycle is a total bust dont have much hope becuase last time we DTD and he managed to do his end of the bargin was 4 days ago. So fingers crossed but Im fully expecting AF to arrive I wrote more about the little talk ect in my journal. Just stressed and want to cry but thats not happending becuase ugly crying in a corset is a no go seeing as Im laced a littel tight becuase my back is out and I put my full corset on not my under bust becuase I needed the extra support so crying when your boobs are already at your chin is not happening and fingers crossed OH comes home with a better outlook. Im just not going to tell him anymore when Im ovulating and go back to hiding in the bathroom with my OPKS becuase this time I have been more open with him because he appered to be more into it and wanting to be involved and thats obviously not the case

Hope the oh has been warned baby making time is nearly here

Well they've gone from stark white to this line. This is the first glimpse of a line I've had but probably be a few more days until that dark line appears!

Sometimes the men reslly feel the pressure I think. I'm pretty lucky there becuase my OH is so laid back and just constantly horny so never have to worry about that but I think it goes overlooked how us going on about a bfp then the tears over a bfn can really get to them. FX you have a fun filled evening tonight hehe xx

 

[Maximus17]

Thanks I think pms is really hitting me. I have had bad period cramps all day and craving for sweets or any food really. So I gave in and ate all day. The low down pains are so bad now think I might take some paracetamol

Yea my OH is actually quite laid back and always horney to so I was really shocked to be fair but yea fingers crossed he is more relaxed when he gets home coz Im going to pounce on him in a last ditched effort to catch this egg if not I think I will actually cry

CD18 for me, my opk’s aren’t quite there yet but we’ve BD’d twice in the past 3 days just in case.
My fertility app predicts that I’ll ovulate in 3 days so we’ll keep BDing until then. Doing it every other day at the moment, as soon as I get my positive opk we will do it daily for a couple of days.

I’ve got mild cramps on my left side, hopefully I’m getting ready to ovulate
