33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

Duster I hope your mum recovers soon. You must be exhausted also!

Jessy that's a good idea, it's always good to have someone in real life to talk to as well

Kim, that test is obvious without any tweaking! They are definitely progressing! I think congratulations are in order

I hope everyone else is ok!

I don't have lines on my chart but I think it will do this tomorrow. Sure I ovulated CD12 with the positive OPK the day before and the pains I had that day

This is this morning's fmu test. I'm not seeing much but I'm hoping it's because my fmu sucks! It's always way more concentrated with smu and sometimes 3rd mu. I'll do another one when I wake up again after the kids leave for school. I got so excited after last nights test that I couldn't fall asleep so I'll test again in a few hours.

Citrus, I think your timing is perfect! I wouldn't worry too much. I wasn't confident that we dtd enough either and now I'm getting faint lines! Fx the same thing will happen for you!

Ladders, I think last cycle was just a one off cycle. I'm sure your lp will be back to normal this time. Fx you caught the egg!

Happycupcake, It definitely looks like you have O'd! Is it normal for ff to not give you ch's? Didn't it do that last cycle too? I really hope you caught the egg too!

I'm so excited to see everyone else's tests too!

Thank you all for squinting with me and giving me hope! ❤❤ you all are amazing!

Oh and for some reason my ring was putting off a glare so I found something with writing on it so the camera could focus on it. I also like the fact that it's a blue box so easier to see the color (especially on the First Signal test) it's a q-tip box lol

 

[happycupcake]

It's quite a bright, glaring photo but I can see it. I want you to hurry up and sleep so you can retest! Sometimes fmu isn't the best, someone put a link to CTP with a table of results for dpo and fmu, smu, evening... it was interesting how many saw better results later on instead of the traditional fmu we are always told to use.

Fertility Friend usually has by this point, but it's because my temps didn't immediately increase to what they usually would after ov I think. I tested this theory out and altered CD13 temp to 36.5 and it confirmed ov for CD12, so I think once I see another temp above this it will do

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Ohhh OK. As long as you're sure you O'd, then that's fine. You also had perfect timing on dtd! I so hope we all get our bfp's!

I'm also wishing the time away too haha! I keep looking at the clock but every time it's only 5 minutes past the last time I checked lol I'm waiting till 7:20 (when ds2 leaves for school. He's the last one to go) and it's only 5:50. I hope I will be able to sleep because if not then I'm going to have to hold my pee for a few hours and that's hard! Lol

 

[happycupcake]

I know! I am hopeless at holding my pee too. Reading makes me sleepy, perhaps try this?

 

[curiousowl]

Cupcake, I bet FF puts your crosshairs at cd13 tomorrow! I've suspected it's been off 1 day a cycle or 2.

 

[citrusfruit]

Cupcake, I was thinking the same that FF would say CD13 instead of CD12. But I do think it can be a day off when you consider the other signs. I've thought this many months.

Can't see much on that one Kim but looking forward to a later test!

Good idea to have told someone Jessy, I think I would do the same this time round.

Ladders, I hope your luteal phase is long enough, will you test if you get to a certain point?

I would say today's opk is almost but not quite positive so I'm not sure what that means. I don't think it is as dark as yesterday's, but my urine is definitely more diluted so will just keep up every other day until temp rise confirms.

 

[citrusfruit]

Cd17

 

[happycupcake]

Citrus didn't you have a positive OPK the other day? If you did, then I would imagine your surge is being slow to disappear but you probably have ovulated or are about to.

Yes it can be a day out. It has been a few times for me, it's also changed its mind much later in my cycle as well lol I'm sticking with CD12 as this seems most likely given all the signs. I think it's far more likely my sleeping pattern made temps wonky than anything else as I haven't ovulated later than CD12 for ages. In fact, I can only think of a single time since tracking my cycles that I did ovulate later, and this was only CD13 or CD14

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Fmu top dried and smu just about 3 minutes ago lol (I slept till 12:20!)

 

[happycupcake]

Much more obvious! What miu are they?

 

[curiousowl]

I think it's definitely getting darker!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

They say on the package insert that they are 25 miu. Do you ladies think I should do a frer? I saved the smu to ask you all and then do it lol

 

[Daisies11]

Yes, do it! Do it!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Here's the FRER!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Oh the upload sucks! It's definitely there and very pink! It's darker than I expected it to be!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Can you see it?!

 

[ladders]

That's really there Kim!!! Im so excited for you! What dpo are you now?

 

[JessyG]

I can i can!! And quite obviously too. Top one for sure. Congrats!!!!!!!
