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

It's not anything like full bleeding (yet) but to complicate things, I haven't actually had a period yet since giving birth (baby is almost 5 months) so first period could be weird, light, random...or I thought, could it be IB? I have had it before, with my 3rd pregnancy, complete with cramps etc- but surely 5dpo (6 at a push) is wayyyyy too early...
Sorry to be blunt but you can't implant until 6DPO earliest and then it takes a few more days for HCG to make it into the rest of the body. You couldn't get a BFP that early whatever bodily secretion you used. Also some weird things can turn a pregnancy test positive such as some diet sodas with aspartame in.
I really hope you get your BFP soon though.
 
I ovulate on the same day as my peak but that could be because I am older?? But having said that if you can ever get donations before O day that would be good too..swimmers can live a few days and will be in there ready for the egg.
I was due to get donations before ovulation day - I don’t normally get a positive until CD13 this has taken me completely by suprise. I was doing CD11/12/13 to allow swimmers to already be there
 
I will go back through this thread and reply to everyone and add them later - it’s been a crazy day at work combined with early then expected peak on my own OPKs!
 
No I know you can't implant that early, that's why it's such a confusing bleed- too early for period, too early for IB, just seems to be totally unrelated to anything which makes it frustrating... Just an absolutely random one. Can't even say it's 'old blood' from anything, as I haven't had any bleeding since 6 weeks pp!
 
....btw that description under my username...obv isn't right, I tried to change it but it went back to the old one! I've just had baby no. 4, not preg with no.3. Number 3 is now seven years old!

How are you tracking your cycles? Are you temping? Curious to know how you know dpo if you haven’t had a cycle yet... you’re possibly still anovulatory?
 
Oh just OPKs and other signs- cervical position, CM etc. I haven't used OPKs in the past as I've always fallen pregnant v.quick, but had ordinary gaps between babies so was back to regular fertility levels (for me)... Now we've had a big gap between first 3 (now 12,8 and 7) and this babby, and I really want to have as small a gap as poss... it will be the last (well...97% sure lol) So I've never tried to conceive so quickly! On 27th OPKs were suddenly blazing all day, very faint the day before and next day...I took that to mean first ovulation pp but maybe it was something else...:( pre period surge!? Oh I don't know. I get so furious not knowing exactly what's going on, I just like to know where I am!
 
Oh and to add- with all other babies, I've gotten my period back within 6-8 weeks, whilst ebf.. now with this one, nothing, so...a bit unusual for me. But I'm older I guess,and things change in your body.

I wonder if your progesterone is low while still BF and you just had a really short LP and don’t have much lining to shed. So maybe that was your first AF. You might go back to anovulatory or your hormones might level out and get more even and have more regular periods from now on?? Sounds like your body was trying to start something but your hormones aren’t quite there.
 
Reiko_ctu yes that sounds very plausible...I hope so, that'd be a good sign anyway I suppose! Thank you for brainstorming for me. It does feel Af like, with the cramps. Well maybe I can count it as being day 1! I saw you getting your BFP very recently- congratulations!! I have 4 daughters...I wonder what your no.4 will be\\:D/
 
@J_and_D any movement in your OPKs yet?

@KatVM hope you get peak when you are expecting - tests looking good so far.

@Mum42crazy I can’t see anything but you definitely aren’t out yet.

@GemmaG toy understand definitely sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate atm.

@Suggerhoney ill probably have lots to temping questions over the next few days I know all the changes normally happen post ovulation.

@Hevalouaddict good luck the 16th was my original test date - not sure now though as my positive opk came 2 days early. Mine DDs are 10 and 7 not being trying for very long though. Good luck this cycle

@Deethehippy sorry you don’t seem to be having any luck with the tests. What’s your temp looking like?

@xxmyheartxx good luck - let me know when you know your test date.

@Lozb hope you get your positive OPK soon

@Alligator congratulations on the job what amazing news. Good luck when it’s time to start you next cycle :)

@ciz sorry you aren’t seeing any positive movement.

@Reiko_ctu not doing anything different at all got wet CM then EWCM started late afternoon with my darkest test being this evening. So hoping I might have timed it perfect. Doesn’t explain why I’m 2 days early - 2 crazy cycles in a row the first two cycles I try.

@Deethehippy and @GemmaG no idea when o ovulate compared to OPK I’m guessing BBT this cycle might help me get a better idea.

@Fuchsia1412 did you have any earlier peak that could have been ovulation? And could it be implantation bleeding?
 
I got my first donation my EWCM seems to have really picked up this evening so keeping everything crossed that I may have timed it right - so glad I planned on getting a few “early” donations to have the swimmers waiting or I would have missed this cycle what with peaking 2 days early - stupid body.

Now I’m just confused as to when I should test. Normally I have a 24 day cycle with positive opk on day 13. Time times I’ve got positive opk on day 11 (however last cycle opk was CD 13 and I was 6days late) when should I expect AF/when should I test :?:

I always think testing at 10dpo is a good time..lots of BFP's start around then :)
Of course if you are crazy obsessed like me you could start from earlier...

Thanks I got obsessed last time to the point it actually caused stress so going to try a cycle without stressed 10DPO if I ovulate tomorrow is 13th which I can’t bring myself to do so will probably do 14th

I know what you mean..the added stress can't be good..I find myself not being able to think about anything else and perhaps need to take more of a step back myself sometimes.
 
Cd5 for me today. 5 more days and I can start the clear blue 4days opks. Mite start the cheapies on cd8 which I know is early as ovulation won’t be untill day 13 to 15 or so even later this month because I’ve upped the macca root from 500 to 1000mg.
Really hope they work and I don’t have anymore miscarriages.

I keep wondering what the reacurrent miscarriage doctor is going to say to me during my tellaphone appointment on Thursday morning.
Scared he’s gonna say something about my age and refuse to do any further investigation because of our ages.

My birthday is in 17 days and turning 41 does not fill me with any hope. If I struggled at 40 getting and staying pregnant then I can’t see 41 being any better.
I had recurrent miscarriage testing at 25, to be honest the testing is pretty minimal - all they want to do is rule out clotting disorders. Apparently, finding a cause is pretty rare too. They only test for common clotting disorders, but there are lots of rare ones. They didn’t check my uterus, cervix or anything like that, nor did they do anything with genetics, despite telling me that genetic issues were the most likely cause.
My situation might have been different because I had seen a heartbeat and such with my second loss, so they knew it wasn’t an implantation issue I’d that makes sense.

I wouldn’t worry about your birthday, it isn’t like anything really changes except in your head.

Good luck!
 
Cd3 today. This cycle has been very light, no pain either. I don’t know if maybe I didn’t ovulate or something?
 
Hey ladies, not so sure a person CANT implant 6dpo or sooner? min 6-7 dpo (not exactly sure)
I swear I see a faint line in person but here online?? What do you all think-
