***September 2018 Testing Thread***

[Sjf0709]

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

Fx for you!

I can't keep up with all the chat! Lol

Hlouise - I love my OPKs, i also have squinter of a line on those even when nowhere near ovulating. I also usually do my opks at around 2pm and 8/9pm this is when i get my best lines. Typically you'll ovulate 12 - 36 hours after a positive opk. Depends when you catch the surge. Love seeing those lines progress! Good luck x x

Maximus - How many dpo are you? I know when i got my bfp in Jan i had intense aching low in my tummy. Felt so tender, like i'd done a million sit ups. Hopefully, this is just your lead up to a BFP. Lots of hugs to you, this ttc business it horrible sometimes.

Who was it who said they had a spot of bleeding? Red/pink bleeding at around 5-10dpo is a good sign! Possible implantation bleeding, i had this last bfp it's how i knew i'd caught. good luck to you xx

Hope everyone is doing ok. Looking forward to seeing all those BFP rolling in! I'm cd2 and a little concerned at how heavy my flow is TMI sorry in advance, but i'm losing clots big enough that i can feel them passing? Is that normal for the cycle after a mc?

This was me baby. It was literally 1 little spot of bright pink/red blood. I haven’t had anything else though. Would that one single spot mean implantation? X

I’ve read and been told the cycle after a MC can be quite bad. I’m expecting mine to be really bad if we don’t conceive because I only bled properly for 1 day when having my MC and I’m now on for a 40 day cycle so it’s a double whammy. Really not looking forward to it. Take care Baby3 xx

Hi ladies, I hope you are all feeling OK and nice and positive for the month. We are on honeymoon and I've been doing opks, got a line forming but it's faint, not even half as dark as the control but I think it's getting stronger. App predicts I ovulate today (CD12) but no ewcm and no strong line so seems that is wrong. Been getting on it anyway, husband is not complaining apart from me keeping using a glass in each hotel to pee! Lol
Got some cramps so maybe it's on the way, no idea!

 

[Vintageling]

I Can't help you ladies with they cycle after a MC I just have everything crossed it isn't as bad as it sounds like it could be from what your saying.

Fingers crossed Radley

It could do chatty. I remember with my spotting it was only a single occurance. Just a little bit mixed in with some cm. Not a lot but enough for me to notice it. Are you charting temps? If so you might see a dip on or around the day you have the spotting good luck xx

I read somewhere though not to worry of you don't get a dip at implantation because not everyone gets that dip or even implantation it was something like 23 % of women get implantation bleeding

Ah ok, keeping topped up with painkillers and hot water bottle. It's not as bad tonight as it was last night so hopefully it's short lived. Thank you hun. Can't believe your on for fo 40+ cycle! Hopefully it'll be a lot longer before you have to worry about AF again fingers crossed! Xx

Yes! Sorry I should have said, not to worry if you don't see a dip as it doesn't happen in ever chart. Likewise, that no spotting doesn't mean you haven't caught the egg, coz not every woman spots. I didn't have spotting in my first BFP but I did in my second BFP. Each cycle/pregnancy is different. Xx

Hello... im hoping to join this thread (complete newbie to threads & forums!) but have been TTC for a few months now... finding it quite stressful! I am currently about 2DPO so in the two week wait!

 

[mrswoody]

I’ve feeling so deflated. I’ve no signs or indications that ovulation is either happening or on its way. I’m using 2 apps this cycle and my window started Wednesday last week up to this weekend!!
My opks are negative (I’ve had positives in the past).
I wouldn’t usually be so bothered but hubby agreed to try until the end of the year and then if no baby that would be happy to settle with the two wonderful girls we have. Thing is he is now working away for the last 2 months of the year
I’ve become a crazy lady!

Yea it just proves how different we all are and how different our bodies are dependent on time situation and age our bodies really are amazing things

Hi sweet welcome along you just come and chat basically in this thread it's to keep us sane while we wait to take a pregnancy test so as you can see from the first page we can pick a date or go to be determined or I even put a bit in for ladies who like to test early. Ultimately though we are here for a rant a cry and to boost one another

Sending huge hugs hun take a deep breath remember stress can impact out cycles it will happen it just might happen later then you expect

 

[Hlouisebaby3]

I'm confused...had A LOT of ewcm but negative opk?! Thought the ewcm was a sure sign of ovulation nearing.... May be just dtd to be sure lol

 

[Mandy123]

Thank you, keeping sane sounds like a good plan. I haven't got a date to test in mind yet, although i am going to try to not test early but i find it very hard not to - its like impulsive when i do and i can't control it lol!

Also last month I lost my mind a little too as I was 4 days late and entered a whole new realm of torture - pregnancy tests were negative but maybe not enough hormone (didn't realise that was a thing - you just hear so many stories of early BFPs that i hadn't even considered being late & getting BFNs!!!!) Negative tests should have been the give away really that i wasn't pregnant but I've been off the pill 3 months with 2 perfect 28 day cycles to jump to 32days (even before i was on the pill i was like clockwork) so last month has set me back in confidence!

I'm so glad i am/was doing the OPKs as my app then re jigged my cycle for this month to ovulate on CD16 - but I got strong positive OPK on 'CD12'!!!! which was actually exactly 4 weeks to the day i got a positive OPK in last cycle - so i really don't know what happened last cycle!

sometimes i wish i wasn't so aware lol but then don't want to miss the opportunity! i am also enjoying sticking my sticks in a little notebook now

It is hun sometimes the opks don't pick up the surge so trust the ewcm

Your cycles can take months to truly be back to normal after coming off the pill hun so don't worry to much. Do you want me to put you in the yo be determined testing hun ?
I drove myself insane last cycle I was certain I was pregnant I thought we covered all our bases
