*** February Testing Thread***

[Reiko_ctu]

@ShanandBoc Sorry I originally missed your post! I ve added you and sending lots of Good luck!

@Reiko_ctu Sorry you are on CD1. But Good luck this cycle!!
As for OPK don't use FMU. Test more than once in the day to ensure catching the surge. I do 10:00 am and 5:00. Start maybe CD 8 since your FF says CD is green? Seems early do you have a short cycle?
I usually start CD 10 and expect to O round CD 13-15.
Good luck glad OH is into properly trying xxx

Yeah I don’t think I’ll O CD 12 this mont because I’m not taking the vitex again till post O. So I’m guessing my fertile window will be CD 10-14 but I’ll start at 8 in case it’s early again! I was thinking twice a day to catch the surge is a good idea. Thanks!!

OH will bring me home a gift card later tonight so I'll be grabbing some pregmate brand too!! Know I said I wouldn't obsess over how many tests I have but whom I kidding lol. Just like having more than 1 brand to use.

Stomach upset but think its because I'm hungry

Hiya! Sorry about your journey to get here, let's hope your next cycle is ready for you! Are you trying anything special in your TTC journey? All weird and wonderful plans welcome! Hehe I'm actually doing something weird, but over here in Sweden there's a "cough mixture method" not sure if it's heard of outside Sweden! Basically the idea being that cough mixtures that are designed to loosen up well... congestion, loosen up uhhh all your other juices and I've read many stories of it working! I'm trying it and am juicy as heck, to put it politely, on CD9 just 3 days in

Hi I've been posting in the January thread but I guess I should technically post here as my period is due Feb 2nd.

I've been ttc/ntnp for 10 years, basically since my son was born. I have pcos. I had a miscarriage September 2019. I was about 5 weeks so very early. I've had no luck since.

This month I have some weird symptoms. Things tasting different, things smelling different, my nipples are leaking (something that has never happened outside of pregnancy/breastfeeding) and I am exhausted.

However just over a week ago I started new medication (amitriptyline and propranolol) so it could just be side effects. If I get my period I probably won't post again, I never come into this part of the forum as I find it really hard getting dragged back into 'proper' ttc. It's draining and heart breaking. I'm nearly 32 and my son is disabled, I'll be genuinely very surprised if I ever have another successful pregnancy.

Good luck all x

@BabyBrain80 do you by chance keep your opks? Wondering if yours look like mine? Lots of surges. I had a super dark positive yesterday, but today its still dark. Ugh. I just want to be 1dpo already! I dont have much cm today so assuming I did Ov yesterday, but the tests are messing my mind too.

@Reiko_ctu should I say it? Im going to say it.......Youre not out until af shows

I've chucked mine all out sorry, they tend to dry darker so I've not kept them but did take a photo of each one to compare them. I'ts been driving me mad, 2 months running! So I think I am having a few surges as its lasting well over a week and they get a bit lighter before going dark again. There were 2 times that they got marginally darker than the control so Id class only those ones as positive. This link was one of the ones I read about catching the surge on the way up and down and different types of surges. All completely normal.....but very annoying. So maybe you caught the surge, then as its still high (although dropping)you'd still see it the next day. Hoping its getting lighter for you now.
Surges and Peaks: Gradual Onset – Easy@Home Fertility (premom.com)

Afm....CD27....possibly 4DPO going by the last positive opk and thankfully getting nice and light now. BUUUUUUUT I've just been to loo and wiped a bit of watery brown with a few pink bits (sorry TMI) If this is af starting I'm gonna frickin have a melt down!!
I suppose on one hand its a regular length cycle (not like last months 50+ days) but it makes me really confused about all the opks. And the sheer disappointment again after trying so hard and having so much sex. I can't go on like this for much longer.

I could cry! xx
