Anyone testing end of May?

[ChocLover]

DH encouraged me to POAS this morning, but it was BFN. Can't say I'm surprised as I *think* I ov'd on Friday, although I have been having odd symptoms since Sunday. Anyone else caved & POAS early? Any symptoms?

what is POAS?

Pee On A Stick

Refers to either a pregnancy test or an ovulation test. Mine was for a pregnancy test.

 

[ChocLover]

ahh. Whats the earliest that you can poas after O and expect a BFP if you are preg?

 

[Loo89]

It depends really. Women who are not pregnant have between 1 and 5mIU/ml of hCG in their urine, and as soon as implantation occurs the placenta starts to produce more hCG, which generally doubles every 2 to 3 days. Implantation is usually between 6 and 10 days after ovulation.
The earliest you could see a BFP would be 8dpo - if implantation occurred at 6dpo, you already had 5mIU/ml of hCG, which doubled every 2 days and you tested with a sensitive pregnancy test (10mIU).
On the other hand, if implantation didn't happen until 10dpo and you had 1mIU of hCG, which doubled every 3 days, you wouldn't see BFP until 20dpo, nearly a week after a missed period, even with a 10miu test.
Obviously, there will be people who saw a BFP earlier than that and people who don't see one until later. Not all bodies work exactly the same.

Well I'm all over the place with OPK first month of using them and I think what has confused me is that 1 week ago they got really dark and then when I next tested it there was nothing there so I thought I'd Ovulated but then this week they got really dark again which is when I was expecting it.

Anyway I'm going to assume I'm 2 dpo maybe a bit more. Keep waking up with a sore throat and got a cold coming either that or I have suddenly developed hay fever. Also feet keep swelling but that could be because of the heat.

This is going to be a lonnnnngggg 2ww x

Hello! My name is Megan and I'm due the end of the month also. This is our 4th month TTC. Very frustrated! You just assume it will happen immediately and it hasn't for us. I'm 30 years old and my husband is 32. We do not have any other children and I'm so wanting to get pregnant it's driving me crazy!!! One weird thing is I'm spotting right now. It started 12 days after my last period started which is about mid-month, but I have been using Clearblue Ovulation Tests and I got the smiley face on it and we started BD right away for 5 days and now I'm having this spotting?? I'm so confused because I've never had spotting in between periods and I'm praying it's implantation bleeding and not something else. But I have to wait now which is so hard! Hopefully you will get pregnant your first month trying. That would be awesome!!!

Hi Megan, welcome. The spotting is likely to be ovulation bleeding - this is a good sign and shows you have ovulated. Too early for implantation bleeding which occurs 7 -10 dpo x

When are you testing x

Hi everyone! Just checking in...the tww is always so annoying! How is everyone doing? Any symptoms? Just some cramping in my back today.

Hi linnielou

Just the odd twinge for me and this niggling sore throat/ sniffles. Feel like I'm getting a cold but it's been going on for about 3 days now.

Trying to keep busy so I don't obsess lol

I'm also waiting (not very patiently) to test at the end of May - fingers crossed

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Well I've hit 72 hours of spotting and I'm going to see my OBGYN tomorrow morning. I don't know what's going on with me. Today I'm light headed and nauseous. If my last AF was 5 days late would I ovulate 5 days late also?

 

[Firefly Skies]

Depending on what kind of cycle my body wants to have this month, I will be testing around the first week of June.

Lots of luck to everyone in this thread.

 

[Moet]

Currently cd42 and no AF and keep getting BFN. So decided to stop testing and wait another week and if no AF test again on the 24/25 ish. Hopefully Im one of those dont get a bfp unitl 20days post ovulation women!

 

[Mrs Reineke]

I hope you're pregnant Moet!! I have my doctor's appt this morning to figure out why I'm having spotting inbetween AF's. I'm crossing my fingers it's because I'm pregnant because this has never happened to me before. But I'm scared it's just some random thing and I'm going to be really dissapointed. I need prayers and lots of baby dust sent my way.

[Iwonderwhen]

me! Im DPO8 and seeing super dark ovulation test lines... (and I ovulated last week). I will be testing next week!

 

[Wnt2beAMom]

Yay! Finally! I've been looking for a thread with some cycle buddies...I'm 5dpo..gonna test next week! Feeling pretty crampy and tired today. Headache too. This is my first cycle we actually tried! Last cycle was mostly waiting for AF after stopping pill.

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Well after my doctor's appt she said my hormones got off this month and to consider this my actually AF and go from there. So frustrating!! So starting from square one again.

Hi all

This is my first cycle of TTC. Very excited but nervous at same time.

I am 31 so may not happen straight away but going to stay positive.

AF due end of month and I'm on CD 11 today so busy BDing before O.

Need some TTC buddies xx

Oh we have so much in common! I'm also 31, on my first cycle of TTC & I'm 2 cycle day's ahead of you!!! My testing day is May 31th!! (it's actually like June 2nd but I'm moving it up because I think I ovulated early!) I'm not doing temp checks or OPK's but I'm basing ovulation on my CM & symptoms which I believe was CD11- (early right?) I'm currently on CD18 (which according to ovuline is my peak ovulation) & have no signs of ovulation so I'm thinking that I was right about CD11 & we BD that day & the day before so hear's hoping for a baby bean real soon!!
