33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[SadakoS]

Unless you really ovulated a bit earlier??

 

[happycupcake]

True, but my chart and OPK look pretty firmly fixed on ovulating CD12

 

[SadakoS]

Very exciting. When are you going to test again?
Pink spotting today so I'm thinking that's me!

 

[happycupcake]

I may as well test each day now hadn't I? Lol
Where are you in your cycle? Any chance it could be leftover IB? Quite common to spot or bleed a little when af is due, when pregnant, if you are due af of course

 

[ladders]

Cupcake you have a 10 % chance of getting a very faint positive at 5dpo so don't dismiss that line just yet!!!

 

[SadakoS]

I have a crappy lp so I should be due tomorrow with spotting today which is 11dpo. Light period now though so I'm out. Think I'll try soy iso to bring my O forward. I usually O on about cd30+ but the month we made dd I O on Cd17 so I feel I need to try and get that forward again!

 

[ricschick]

One Step ICs are truly evil tests sometimes. I am 5dpo, don't ask me why I do this, I always plan to test 7dpo earliest but I have an urge to poas so I do, with the knowledge I won't see anything at this point, which is fine.
What isn't fine, though, is seeing a super faint line that actually has the faintest shade of pink. Even if I had an egg on speed it wouldn't happen this fast

And where is the pic for us to obsess over?? 😎

 

[happycupcake]

Thanks, Ladders! I didn't think it was humanly possible! But I guess if there's a percentage of people who have, then it must be.

Sadako I'm sorry are you sure it's definitely af?

Rics, you can barely make it out on photos until I tweaked it but I could see it in real life. It's probably another one of those lines that doesn't mean anything though. I usually see them each cycle but this seemed to be a little wider than that and vaguely pink ish. It actually looks grey in the untweaked photos though

 

[ricschick]

I see it! 😳😘

 

[happycupcake]

It's weird isn't it?!? I bet it's completely blank tomorrow lol

 

[citrusfruit]

Will be following cupcake to see tomorrow's test. Can clearly see something, hope it's meaningful!

Sorry for AF sadako

 

[SadakoS]

SO following to hopefully see a pinker line tomorrow cupcake!!

Ah it's ok, I have my birthday in a couple of weeks so at least I can get good and bladdered!

 

[happycupcake]

I'm sorry Sadako. I hope this cycle brings you luck! How long have you been ttc for? You probably said but my memory is rubbish

 

[curiousowl]

So sorry Sadako. AF is such a witch.

cupcake, I feel like I see a little something. I'm not sure I trust any of those people reporting a bfp at 5dpo actually know when they O'd though, lol! Hoping it's real though and gets darker.

 

[happycupcake]

See I'm certain I ovulated CD12 so as much as I would love to trust that test I absolutely don't lol! I think the chances of anything having implanted before 5dpo and there being time for hCG to be processed into my pee by 5dpo are slimmer than slim

Yeaaaah, pretty much!

 

[Sander]

Happycupcake - can see a line but it looks grey? But girl - seems waaaay too early to test haha. If it is a pink line then it'll get darker soon!

So I have a question for you all - FF is telling me I'm too close to predicted O to use OPK's. So now I feel dumb because I've been peeing on them but not that regularly cause I thought I was too far from O to use them. Anyways, I put in last month's info and FF moved my O date to today - should I stop pos? I don't want to waste them if they won't turn positive.
Also my CM never went egg white, only watery today so I figured FF was off with the date and I wanted to see the EWCM before doing OPK's 2x a day.
So what do you think should I keep testing with them or have I missed it already?

 

[happycupcake]

Sander, I don't believe that's a genuine line, I think it's another one of those lines they tend to show anyway. I just felt like poas lol I knew if anything did show, it would highly likely be false at this point, so it doesn't bother me. They are pretty annoying tests, however, since I haven't had any other tests do the same thing but they are cheap so it doesn't matter if I waste a few because I feel like poas ridiculously early lol

I don't think you have missed ovulation, your chart doesn't look like you ovulated. The watery cm can be fertile cm as well, and I don't believe there's a 'too close to ovulation' because personally it isn't uncommon for me to see a positive OPK the day of ovulation. So I would keep using them and keep BDing and if you are concerned about lack of ewcm, perhaps use a sperm friendly lube as well

6dpo today, temp increased to 36.99. I'm only seeing some of my usual lp symptoms this time which is unusual, this hasn't happened much. Mostly I see all the symptoms under the sun! Sore boobs, on and off metallic taste, increased cm... that's about it tbh. I'm wondering where my usual nausea has disappeared to! And the permanent headaches/migraines. And lots of cramping, where did that go? If my temps were different I would wonder if I had actually ovulated!
Of course I have poas today, same vague 'line'... I partly test because I want to know as soon as possible, because I like to know everything yesterday, even though I know realistically there's little chance of seeing anything genuine at this point. But that's ok because it satisfies my poas addiction and it isn't bothering me because I know I shouldn't expect to see anything until tomorrow at the absolute earliest.

In the interests of 'post what you pee on' I shall post them anyway. Hopefully I will start seeing a proper line soon. I don't think I will, I don't know why, perhaps because my lp seems different so far.
All the same test. I won't bother posting tweaked versions because they are so grainy. May as well post my chart though, for anyone interested in looking at charts

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I can still see it though! Everyone that has a bfp so far didn't expect to see one so fx this time it sticks and you get your bfp and sticky baby! ❤

 

[SadakoS]

I can definitely see a something! I so hope it just gets stronger and stronger.

Has anyone here taken soy isoflavones? I ordered some which have arrived but I'm a bit nervous about taking them.
