Jessy, I'm hoping that it is normal early pregnancy pains for You!
Haha curious I'm right with you, I get DH to get all the bugs for me....i hate them!
As for me, I'm still waiting to o. Been having more pains and twinges on both ovaries, lower back pain, bloating and cramping and my cp is high, soft, and open so I'm expecting o soon. I am going to go and get a couple of opks from the dollar tree today as I've read negative reviews on the walmart brands that I've been using. Will bd tonight and then doctor appt tomorrow morning.

Oh Jessy I'm sure all is ok! Could just be everything stretching maybe? Good luck for Sunday. Xx

Cupcake it's still pink cm although I've only had it twice today and a little in a pantyliner. 🤔🤔🤔 I feel quite sick too today.

I've added a new test in the gallery too. X

 

[happycupcake]

Ooo I will go see it right away! Sounds like IB maybe? Let's hope so

 

[meek0104]

This is my opk from this morning. I'm wondering if they are ever going to get darker. I'm using the dollar tree brand....i heard they work really good. I'm having alot more physical symptoms of o approaching and I'm hoping I have a big juicy follie waiting to burst on my left side since that's where I'm feeling pressure at the moment.

 

[happycupcake]

Meek, some don't see them get darker, in fact I'm sure someone here in this thread ovulated but didn't see a positive dipstick OPK but got a positive digital OPK?
I use the green handle dipsticks on Amazon, I think they are the same brand as the hpts I use - One Step. They are cheap, only a few quid for about twenty or thirty of them and they are always fine for me.
When are you testing? This will have an impact too as apparently the best time to test is between 2-9pm. Many use fmu and don't see a positive but will later on. I have seen more negative OPKs with fmu for myself than afternoon/evening. I have had a few fmu positives, but I tend to see better results in the evenings.
Are you temping as well?

 

[ricschick]

Meek I agree with cupcake make sure it's more late afternoon, hope you get a positive soon xx

Af is here.

Meek, I like the Wondfo cheapies from Amazon and this cycle I needed to test twice a day around O to catch my surge.

 

[curiousowl]

So sorry Rics

I am going to test later today and see if that makes a difference. I am temping, but I just started a few days ago

Sorry AF got you Ric! Hoping this cycle works out for you!

 

[happycupcake]

Meek, don't worry having only started temping recently. As long as you haven't ovulated yet you should still be able to see a clear difference in temps once you ovulate. I would do the OPKs two, maybe three times a day. Given I have had positives with fmu a few times, I usually test fmu, mid to late afternoon and then 9pm each day starting a few days before ovulation usually happens, in case it happens earlier than usual.

Rics, I'm so sorry. Honestly thought your tests would develop more over the coming days! You are in good company, af arrived a short while ago for me, too

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I'm so sorry af arrived for both of you, Happycupcake and Rics. I hope this new cycle is the one for both of you.

Meek, I was wasting a lot of opk's because I was testing every other time I had to pee. I was so worried I wouldn't get a positive opk then I ran out before I O'd but still knew when O day was based on pains and I always wake up with sore nipples the day of o. That was this cycle and I ended up conceiving this cycle. I hope you get a positive soon so you'll know for sure. I know it's frustrating with not knowing.

 

[ricschick]

Thanks everyone!
Cycle buddies then cupcake!! 👍🏻😉

 

[meek0104]

Thank you ladies. I'm having more cramping and feeling like af is coming so I know o is close. I'm so excited. Lol. I will update tomorrow after my doc appt.

 

[citrusfruit]

So sorry Rics, I feel really bad that I gave you false hope. I was so sure it was a bfp.

I'm so exhausted today. Really sorry I don't have much energy to write any more.

I don't think you gave false hope, I too thought those lines would progress into more but sometimes it doesn't and this is rubbish but no one can predict that. I'm sure Rics doesn't think you gave false hope. When I posted my tests yesterday on my thread people were saying they thought they were better than the day before but they weren't, I don't feel they gave false hope in any way, they were saying what they saw and how they interpreted them and were being positive, which is what we all do. Give yourself a break, go put your feet up, stop worrying and relax with a cuppa

 

[curiousowl]

I'm a little worried about this cycle. I've had mild cramping, like O cramps on the side, since O last cycle. I'm afraid that means there's something funky going on and I won't get a BFP because of it. Maybe another cyst? Though the cyst I had was the worst pain ever and luckily I don't have that right now. I don't know.

 

[ricschick]

Citrus no don't be silly I was grateful for your positivity😉 You test up today early pregnancy is hard work😘
Curious hopefully that's nothing to worry about Have you ever had cysts? X

Af is in full swing and heavier than normal! Could it of been chemical maybe? X
