*** February Testing Thread***

[Reiko_ctu]

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.

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

Hopefully that’s some IB... you’re a bit early for it but maybe you’re not right on your Possible O! FX’d for you that things straighten up!!

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

I do know that breastmilk production is a rare side effect of some antidepressants!

It would be just my luck!

Thank you x
yes I'm more than probably wrong about O so I guess I can cling to a wee bit of hope there! Maybe I O'd right at CD16 or it was recently....who knows!! I had IB with DS1 and a streak with DS2. Giving me a headache lol. Thanks again x

Might have to try that!!!! Love it

I'd do some digging on it , there's lots of articles over here at least the idea is to take one dose per day from end of af to äl and then stop.

@JessaBear36
Loving those symptoms so much.
Not long now hon and u can test.
Please be BFP please be BFP please be BFP


@BabyBrain80
Awwww hon bless u.
That does sound like IB.
I had it at 14dpo and I've never had it B4.
It was a browny colour to. Maybe ure more DPOs than want u think.
Really hope it was IB hon and a BFP is just around the corner.

@ciz when I zoom in I can see something for sure.
Fixed its the start of ure BFP

 

[JessaBear36]

@Suggerhoney thanks I hope I get a bfp too.

I ended up buying 100 pregmate and 15 easy@home .
I also bought myself a shirt. Trying not to go to crazy and buy more tests think that will be enough for now. Shipment will be here sunday.

[JessaBear36]

@ciz good luck. Think I might see something but not sure.

 

[AlwaysTheAunt]

@sequeena I had nausea as a bit side effect of one of those! (I can't remember which as I took both at different times for chronic headaches so it's all a blur). Fingers crossed that is because of a bfp though!

@ciz fingers crossed it's the start of something!

@Mum42crazy sorry you're in limbo hoping february is everyones lucky month!


My OPK and pregnancy tests came in the mail yesterday! was shocked. Of course I pee'd on one of each. both lol There is a faint second line on the opk which didn't happen until cd12 last month so hopefully it's a gradual rise like I had with my daughter.
Gastro seems to be leaving our house I hope just in time for some BD soon

Oh gosh Gastro I had that once. I really hope ure feeling better.
I used to pee on tests as soon as they came even when I new I wasn't pregnant but its always good just to make sure they don't give and faint shadow lines.

Sending get well hugs

Thanks so much . I really appreciate it!!

 

[ciz]

Poas addiction has well a truely set in..

 

[Rach87]

@Reiko_ctu ive used wondfo last pregnancy and pregmate this time. Both seemed to work fine. I test twice a day until it starts to darken then 3 times a day.

@sequeena sorry about your difficult journey. Hope your symptoms are baby and not med related. We’re test date buddies, yay!

@BabyBrain80 very interesting article. Thanks!

 

[Rach87]

@Rach87 how are things going with those OPKs? Negative now I hope! What dpo are you?

haha my 12 day ovulation saga has officially come to an end. I think I Ov’d monday 1/25* as I had the super positive opk, lots of twinges/cramps and globs of ewcm. Not so much cm tuesday pretty sure it was Monday. So like 3dpo. Boooooring.

 

[Rach87]

Oh @ciz i see a shadow on that latest test easy!!
