***September 2018 Testing Thread***

[Piglet30]

I have no idea what opk’s do after first positive. I only do one more opk after the first positive to check the lh is on its way out.

You only ovulate once per cycle but I think your body can get an lh surge and gear up to ovulate but then not do it for some reason and start gearing up for a second try a few days later.

Perhaps those with more than one set of nearly positive opk sticks just have bodies that like to have a practice before the main one?

Ttc is very confusing but there is is only one way to be sure you’ve done all you can and that’s BD at least every other day from end of AF to start of next ........that way it’s not so bad when your period comes as at least you get to keep your knickers on and have a kip come sundown.

I'll be home around 8pm will do tests then, want to see if OPK is still the same or darker x

I have had the strangest cramp feeling in the back of my right calf today. Never suffer from cramp. Not saying it’s a symptom.

Also wanted to share I'm gobsmacked that I got my first cross hairs on FF today

 

[Mandy123]

Thanks all, I am just so confused & super disappointed if it was a surge and not ovulation and now I’m actually going to ovulate - it will mean I’m most likely out for this month as my husband is away until Saturday (and I was chuffed that I appeared to have ovulated over the Bank holiday weekend before he went away on Tuesday).

He is not being very patient with me either as I am really confused by it he says ‘I’m over thinking it’. Haha that is an excellent way to look at AF - some rest for us while she is visiting! Il try and appreciate a time out from TTC next time!

Just seen 2 people announce their pregnancies on FB. The first one I knew about already and is only 2 weeks ahead of where I would have been if I’d not miscarried. Then the 2nd one has come as a complete surprise and she wasn’t even trying. I hate this feeling of jealousy but I can’t help it it just seems so unfair that we are all actively ttc, doing everything we possibly can do and sometimes it just doesn’t seem good enough... hmph!

Anyway, best stop with the pity party and get on with counting down to test day... 7 days to go and only a couple of days until we are in September and we are allowed to start testing (haha piglet) can’t wait to see these BFP announcements on here!

I know exactly how you feel Sjf. Thank god we all have each other in this thread xx

 

[Sjf0709]

Exactly ChattyCharl! Our time will come x

 

[mrswoody]

Finally got a positive on an opk and all the signs to say I'm ovulating! Thankfully we bd last night, oh is working super late tonight so it'll need to be tomorrow now. Hoping that will hopefully be enough and we will catch!

 

[Dinkydizzy]

Anyone else have AF lasting 6 days or more? Last month my AF finished at CD6 too, hoping this one is the same and finishes throughout the day. Was weird this time as it started unexpectedly 2 days early and bright red straight away instead of usual brown spotting first, my whole body was aching too the first few days. X

Mine was 10 days last time, I have a fibroid though so I have to expect heavier and longer. Average before fibroid was 5-7 days

I know I'm so greatful for all you ladies that have been on the testing threads your all so awesome

Arghhh and babies are everywhere. Just today someone brought their 3.5 month old baby to work. I knew her so I had to say hello and hold the baby. Afterwards I just had to go out for a walk and was just so sad. This is her second one and she said there is no way I am having another. I am thinking wow she can conceive so easily and doesn’t even think how hard is to get pregnant for some people. I wish I had the choice like she had. Anyway it’s not her fault as she has no idea how difficult is to get pregnant for some people. All I said was you are so lucky to have 2 kids. She just gave me that look like she has no idea what I am talking about.
