33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[ladders]

Ok so tested again, I know I know I'm crazy! But think this one was darker. Does anyone see what I'm seeing or have I completely lost it?

 

[citrusfruit]

Ladders I didn't see anything at all on the first but I am seeing something interesting on this one. Then again, this is exactly what I'm talking about at testing and getting a faint line at 9 or 10 dpo. (Which are you?) Because there have been sooo many like this on these tests, I'm reluctant to get excited. That said, it does make it more interesting to test the next day and see and that is where the disappointment comes in.

Mel, I was doing that method too on month 1 and 2. I know it as the shettles method. But the disappointment of seeing a bfn and the uncertainty that it actually works (there's research to suggest otherwise) has led me to abandon it and be happy either way! Good luck though if you are more patient than me, and I hope you get your little girl. I feel exactly the same way about a possible 3rd child.

Sander, we are the same dpo. I got crosshairs this morning which put me at 5dpo! I'm questioning it though, will post my chart in another post...

I would have thought based on temps that o looks likely at CD18 but do you think FF is going by the opk and CM? I was quite surprised that it came up as that day, although I definitely remember feeling like the BD on CD18 was pointless as the moment had gone...

 

[ladders]

Citrus I know and that's what I'm scared of, iv never gotten a line before but this is a new batch and it's the Skinner ones so I'm not sure if just those horrible lines. I'll try yo hold out till tomorrow and test again then. Rubbish weather so we haven't gone out for the day like planned and so they are seriously burning a hole in my bedside!!!
On your chart what does it do if you take the opk out? Then you'll see if it's temps or other signs it's working on

 

[citrusfruit]

Good point ladders, I just tried that and it did change to CD18. I'm just a bit confused as to why though because you can easily o two days after a positive opk can't you? Or is that quite unusual? Oh well, we will see in a couple of weeks I guess. Or hopefully I'll be pregnant and not find out!!

Rooting for you ladders, keep us posted with the tests.

 

[dustergrl]

Hi mel!

ladders I can see it!!! I hope it gets darker!

CD1 here I think. This cycle was a weird one, and short so I'm honestly glad it's over.

 

[ladders]

Oh no duster are you sure? I'm sorry, if it is I hope it's a more normal one this time! Thanks for the help of your eyes I'm really hoping it progresses

Thanks citrus, can't test for a while now as taken my b6 and it turns my wee neon yellow and stains lol. It's funny ff has done that, when you used to temp before did you have an idea when you ovulated in relation to positive opk?

 

[happycupcake]

I'm sorry I have had a migraine and I can't think clearly so I may miss a lot but to who asked we live in the southeast of the UK.
The guy I had a problem with has actually apologised which was good of him as most wouldn't bother.
He is a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of people who abuse this area here.
We actually want to move but it's too expensive.

Ladders, OMG! Your line I could see from the page before but the line today is blatantly obvious, I would say this looks like progression rather than meaningless faint line! This line is pink too! I will see if I can bring it out more if you want?

Citrus, based on your chart, I think Fertility Friend is saying CD16 because you only had a single temp decrease after then, and all other temps were quite high so it's probably right. Whilst you can ovulate a few days after a positive OPK, it also isn't unusual to ovulate on the same day of the positive too.

Duster, I'm sorry

So I poas today, of course... I *think* what I'm seeing is the same kind of line as before, however. Although on a single photo it looks vaguely pink. I then did another with smu, as sometimes it seems to be better for some but I don't think there's anything on that. I think I'm 7dpo today, so stupidly early, Fertility Friend thinks I'm 6dpo. But after some digging, it seems sometimes your temp won't increase immediately after ovulation, so I do think I'm right about when I ovulated.
Let's see if I can get this right...
First test, today's with fmu, fourth photo is tweaked

 

[melewen]

Citrus that chart is weird! I would say cd18 is O but it's hard to really know without a lot of pre-O temps. You could have had a fallback rise from O on cd16 though

ladders I do kind of see something on that one but doesn't seem like there's color. Can you take a photo by your ring so your cam will focus on it?

I'm sure you've covered this already but what kids do we all have already? My son was born September 2015. I've seen some other 2015 boys here already - too funny!

 

[happycupcake]

These are both today, top is fmu dried and the other is smu where I don't see anything on it. Fourth photo is tweaked but I don't think it's brought anything out. I can see a super faint line on the dried test from my fmu today in real life, but I don't know if it's something genuine, time will tell I guess

 

[ladders]

If you could cupcake that would be great! tweak away, I have no idea what to do to do that. I see lines on yours too, so you feel they are darker than yesterday's? Do you have any symptoms? This morning I caught a smell of something and retched so bad I thought I was going to be sick

 

[happycupcake]

I think possibly but I can't decide. My problem is I can't tell because this time it looks like it has a faint pink to it, which makes me wonder if it's genuine. But I think it's safer to assume it isn't. Saturday I had this wave of nausea but I hadn't long argued with the guy who peed so that could have been adrenaline. I do usually see nausea anyway during my lp though as well. Boobs are super sore and having mild cramping but this is all stuff I usually see in my lp. Cervix position is high, medium and closed, cm is like ewcm but more creamy ewcm *sorry*

I can't seem to make them unfuzzy. Which is annoying me! But anyway, the line is clear to me your symptoms sound promising too.
First three are from your original and fourth is tweaked but it isn't hugely tweaked because it makes it too pixelated otherwise

 

[curiousowl]

Ladders, I definitely see something! I hope it darkens up

Mel, my DD is a May15 baby.

Citrus, huh, weird. I would have said cd18 too. It really seems like it could be either from your chart. Is one a more typical O day for you?

 

[curiousowl]

Afm, my temp was post-O high today. Considering I had 5 drinks last night, not surprised.

 

[AshAbe]

Hello! Is it too late to join?

 

[citrusfruit]

Seeing something there cupcake but would only get excited if it's darker tomorrow. Better than no line though I'd say as it could be the start of something! Like you say you are really early so could be the stupid fake lines but if it was something real it would probably look like that too. All too confusing.

Yeh I'm not sure about my o date. It doesn't matter too much as we are covered either way so will just wait and see.

I have a 2 year old boy, Mel.

 

[melewen]

Cupcake I can't wait to see how it progresses!

That's cool we have babes who are similar ages!

Ash, not too late - welcome!

So... my cycle was super messed up last month. I started spotting at 10dpo but there was some bright red. I definitely used a pantyliner. Would you count that as cd1? I'm trying to dtd two days before +opk so trying to get it right 🙄

 

[ladders]

Welcome ashabe definitely not too late to join!

Cupcake thank you for tweaking my pics I'm so pleased I can still see the lines, I'm hoping that both our lines progress! If just took another test and don't need to squint under the light to see it this morning and I'm sure there's some pink to it but still super faint. Won't test again now until tomorrow so hopefully will see a difference.

Mel iv always counted the first day of red as cd1 but I may stand corrected. Last cycle af arrived on 9dpo giving me just an 8 day lp so was pretty stressed. If I make it through today and even if she comes tomorrow I'll at least have a 10 day lp so not classed as a lp deficit even if pretty short. A have a little girl who turned 2 end of Jan 😊

Citrus are you doing opk? Could it be your ov? Although my temp always jumps after a few drinks!

 

[citrusfruit]

Ooh ladders I am starting to get excited despite knowing these tests can produce lines like this when you aren't pregnant. It's just that that latest one is much more obvious so feel like I'm seeing progression?? Cautiously excited. This is a lucky thread after all...

I am doing opks but only for the second month so not too sure about patterns. I still feel rough today. I know it means nothing and I am starting to think it is progesterone related as I often feel queasy in the tww.

Welcome ash!

Ladders I think this test is darker
