***December Testing thread - hoping for a Christmas Miracle***

[J_and_D]

Well I'm cd16 and STILL no positive on opk

 

[MadamRose]

I get random ewcm but it’s not fertile. I’ve notice that it’s the true ewcm when it continues not just the odd blob. Just keep an eye on your opks closely

Thanks OPK is 100 % negative I just did one to make sure

 

[Rach87]

So i took another one, this is with no hold and photo taken in the right time, it was weak my pee I had only gone 45 minutes before and got those lines, but I had to just double check, I couldn’t post straight away because I had some parent meetings online, the top one is unedited I can see a line maybe you can’t, the one under is the same test tweaked a little so you can see what I can in real life... weak pee remember.... I will test tomorrow

the line is there, just can’t get in to show up well in the photos..... but I do know it is early and maybe tomorrow they’ll be nothing to show, but a girl can hope!

I see that line easily! Hoping for a sticky baby for you!

 

[babybears25]

@Mum42crazy i can easily see that line! Good luck for your next test x

 

[MadamRose]

@J_and_D when do you usually get positive OPK? How often do you test? What cycle length are you normally?

@Mum42crazy looking forward to seeing tomorrow’s test hoping it’s the first of many for December!

 

[Mum42crazy]

Ugh I just had what seemed to be EWCM it was around 30 mins ago (having not been to the bathroom for 5 hours) but not it’s back to being dry/slightly creamy (sorry if TMI) it’s just coincidence right? My clear blue two hormone are still on low and normal OPKs are now showing any signs of peak just yet.
I’m panicking as I can’t get a donation til Wednesday

Don’t panic if the OPK isn’t positive then you have time, I sometimes get ewcm but it only lasts an hour or so. You’ll get there on Wednesday.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@MadamRose don't panic hon. I can have up to 5 to 6 days of fertile cm b4 ovulation happens.
Hope the opks stay negative until the right time for you. Thanks for being so kind hon. I really hope we all get BFPs wudnt that be the best.



Hi to all the new ladies

Welcome and wishing u all lots of luck.


My clear blue digital 4 days fertile tests arrived today and I've put them in the bathroom cupboard for now.
I don't ovulate until day 13 to 15 so will cracked them open on cd10. There's 20 sticks so I have plenty and still have my pregmate opks and got some cheapies from boots but there's only 5 so will start them on day 10 to.

Only ob cd4 so have ages until ovulation and being in the 2ww again.

 

[Bevziibubble]

Good luck

 

[J_and_D]

@MadamRose normally I'm 28 days and I O on cd15. The last several cycle have been wierd. Ranging from 26-35 days. Last month I got a positive on CD 17 and I saw an increase starting cd15. As soon as I see the increase I start testing 2-3 times a day. Cuz I'll get a peak and it'll be gone all on the same day. I skipped O a couple months ago (like I said, my cycles have been wierd last few months). And of course I have the dreaded "I'm an older mom" fears....

Tbh I’m not expecting EWCM til Thursday or Friday I’m getting donations CD11/12/13 and usually get positive OPK on 13 thought it was better to have the there ready

@Suggerhoney CD10 sounds good to start the clear blue ones they will start to flash when they detect a prolonged oestrogen rise then turn from flashing to static when LH rises. I think last time I used them I got 3 or 4 days flashing before my static smiley.

yes CM has gone back to creamy again so definitely just randomness - I’m hoping for flashing tomorrow or Wednesday.

@J_and_D hugs do you temp chart or anything? I mean I know it doesn’t do anything until after ovulation but it might help you get more insight. Hope you get a positive opk soon? !

 

[J_and_D]

@MadamRose no, I lack the discipline tbh lol... I have an appt in Jan and I'm going to talk to the doc about getting my hormones test. Thanks, me too fx for a +opk

 

[MadamRose]

I’ve got POAS obsession and I’ve not even gone past ovulation yet. Normally at this point I’d only be doing 1 OPK a day but I’m doing 3 or 4

 

[sallyhansen76]

@MadamRose Loving the OPK's. If i had any I'd be doing just as many! lol

 

[Mum42crazy]

So I know I am posting to much but anyway this is my last one, so I do agree that my very nice looking first test with the dye run may just be that a dye run, the photo I am posting is the two tests I took from the side you can see one is full of pink (the top one )where the dye has passed through and the white one was my hopeful start of something, I did read that it didn’t really matter as long as the test had a solid test line but it’s so strange that after the control line it’s just full of dye... not saying it’s not a maybe because of the second test, but not really expecting two line tomorrow

I may have ordered 90 that’s on top of the clear blue dual hormone one I’m also using

all you can do is test in the morning - how many DPO are you? Do you have a FRER you could use?

You're still very early so even if todays tests had a dye problem there is still plenty of time! Average implantation is 8-10 DPO and then can take a few days to get the HCG to your pee. Good luck..there is still a chance.

 

[MadamRose]

20 of us here and due to test during December - I’m so glad it’s finally December tomorrow. Hopefully December will be a lucky month for lots of us. I’m trying to not get my hopes up but it’s hard when both my daughters were Cycle 2 and one of them was a 24th December test date!

 

[Deethehippy]

Is it ok if I hang out in this group now that November is ended? I am still testing and no sign of AF yet.. Maybe I could be added for testing this Friday or something? (AF is due Sunday I think..I have a 15-16 day Luteal) My testing time next cycle would be New years day or thereabouts so I would need to join January thread for that one.
Wishing everyone lots of luck!

Yes come and join us if you need a new cycle (fingers crossed you won’t) maybe you should test on the 31st December instead

I can’t believe how few BFPs November seemed to have. Let’s hope December is a lot better!!!

CD16 and tested evening opk. Still very low at 0.21 and I'm having one of the ttc "low" days. Beating myself up with all kinds of negativity. I don't think I'm going to ovulate. If I do ovulate, my LP will probably be too short for anything to actually happen. If I dont ovulate, that'll be the 2nd time in the last 4 months. And that's never happened to me before. I've never missed a month (that I know of). Another month will be gone. Another month older. Maybe I wont be able to have another child cuz of my age. My appt for the doctor isnt until January. Just feeling a little defeated I guess and wanting to vent it
