January testers?

[x__amour]

8 DPO here. AF is due in less than a week now. Getting anxious to test!

So I'm in my phone and don't have the best reply ability but regarding whoever asked about the lump on cervix: I've found that at some points in my cycle I get a pimple sized lump near The opening. No clue what it is but it goes away so I ignore it. If yours doesn't go away by end of cycle i would ask your doc about it.

I will be testing on the 28th of Jan, Congrats to all the BFP already from this month

i will be 7 dpo in the morning ... i have the weirdest cycle, cramps like crazy!!!
i dont have af due until 14th i ovulated on cd 14 on a usually 34 day cycle so super early .... i am so lost. my boobs hurt but i have implants ...

 

[ssarahh]

I'm 12dpo today and haven't felt anything at all really.

AF is due 8th January. Will see how much longer I can hold off x

Are you still planning to test on 8th? I'm down for the same test date as you... do you have any significant symptoms?
I was not temping this cycle, so my period could be due either tomorrow or as far off as the 9th.

My plan was to test on 8th but I have already caved (I know it's too early) but got a bfn. Now I am going to try and hold off until 8th.

I have a bit of a stomach ache today but that's it. Feels a bit like AF stomach aches so am not sure that it's a good sign!

How about you? Any signs?

Hey ladies, I've been away from here for a couple of weeks over Christmas. Such a lot to catch up on! Currently I'm 5-7dpo (most likely 7 DPO) as I didn't temp or use opks. I've felt much more relaxed this cycle but that could be because of Christmas. I've been really tired but we have been ridiculously busy, and my skin is awful! I normally have a few break outs around this time but it started around o and have been breaking out every other day - it's awful. Getting the urge to poas now. Feeling a bit down too, so bored of waiting!

So for those of you who used the CB adv digi what day do you consider your O day? The day when you get your peak smile?

Counting from peak day, I'm 5 DPO. I knew I would be crazy in the TTW *lol* I want to test so bad! But, I know that there is no point right now, since nothing would be implanted yet. Gosh, I wish we could skip to the weekend so that I can start POAS! I really want that sticky bean!

Well I had a dream last night that I took a test and 2 plus symbols came up. So of course I'm dying to test! I am going to test earlier than the 12th though, I will try to hold off until Wed or Thurs. Period will be here anywhere from Friday-Monday. My uterus has felt "heavy" since last night. Not sure what that would mean but when you symptom spot, everything is a big deal!!

Ok to my Adv Digi ladies I got my first blinkie smiley today so do I count that as a positive on FF?

Glad you found the place for the advanced digi on FF. That's what I was going to tell you was to make sure to mark this as high and when you get your solid smiley mark it as peak.

You will probably get your solid smiley in the afternoon more so than morning because of the way LH hormone works so you can keep testing with digi in the morning but use an IC (or test a second time with digi in the afternoon if you have enough tests). When the IC looks close to + then use the digi again to verify the peak. I never get a peak with FMU so I always have to make sure to use the digi in the afternoon when trying to confirm.

Good Luck!!!

Thank you for that advice I got 2 days of Blinky So I'll start taking them in the afternoon today..

AF came early, I'm out, good luck everyone and congrats to the bfps!

I'm sorry Twinkie


AFM So O should be here in the next 2 days. I got first round of AI at midnight lastnight I took my OPK yesterday morning at 4am and it was a blinky So since we did AI so late after I laying there for 30min I took another one at midnight and it was still blinking so I felt better. I didn't do one this morning. I figured I wasn't going to waste it. I had only been sleeping for 4 hours so I'll check it when I get home from work today. I'm just excited we got our first round of AI in

Hey everyone.. I am totally confused by my body this month. I am hoping that all of the sex will just pay off and I will get my BFP

SugarBeth, praying the baby is in the uterus and growing!!

Christmas break is over and it's back to work today. Ugh. I'm so not feeling it. LoL! It snowed here last night and we have a 2hour delay today so that the roads will be drivable. Inside of town isn't bad but parts of our district are out in the outskirts (and up the hills) and so they have much worse road conditions than we do. At least it'll be a short day to start the week off. But seriously, I think that the first week back from a long holiday should be only 4 days long. We need to ease back into this thing!

Ser - You can O anywhere from 12-48 hours from when you get your peak smiley. This month my O day was the day after the peak but in the past I've O'd the same day as the peak smiley or as late as 2 days later. Temps are the only way to 100% confirm O day (though checking CM is a good way to get an estimate, assuming you get fertile cm to begin with). If it's been 5 days from your peak you may be anywhere from 3-5DPO.

I am back to work today as well!! No new snow here though. I definitely did not want to go back.

SugarBeth- Any update? I hope things are going well for you.

 

[mrscletus]

Back to work today for me as well... UGH...

A little snow here, and for NW PA this is very unlike the past several years. But I am not complaining. It is cold, but there is not ton of snow to shovel!

We got about 8 inches over the break but its down to about half that. And today is suppose to be above freezing so I am hoping it melts even more!! But I saw we are expecting some this week. Of course never enough for a snow day!! For a snow day here we would need 5+ inches and it would have to be drifting. Gotta love the rural areas, nothing closes us down.

Question ladies. I'm using the advance clearblue digis opk. I used it this morning with fmu. It gave me a solid smiley. I took the test out of the pack and it had a huge dye smear to where there were no lines except a big blue smear. The smiley won't go away for 48 hours apparently to remind me I am peak fertility. The only thing is I'm not, I never got flashing smileys I'm only on CD 10 and usually ovulate CD 15/16. I know I can ovulate early but I took another OPK and it's not positive. Has this happened to anyone before? I'm mad I can't use the digi opk for 48 more hours.

 

[LuLu15]

So the top one is my fmu that gave me a solid smiley, you can see the lines now which do look kinda positive but when I first pulled it out there were no lines just that blue dye run you can kinda see. The bottom one I took about 5 mins later with urine in a cup dipped, it's clearly not positive. I really don't think I'm ovulating yet...its just weird this test did this. Sorry for the rant ladies, it's just bugging me.

 

[mrscletus]

I'm sorry I am not familiar with the digi monitors... I have only ever used cheapies... Good Luck, and hop someone can help.

 

[MDW]

I'm very tempted to test at the end of January. Firmly on day 1 of my cycle today. So may be jumping the gun a bit....

 

[tinymumma]

Arrrgh, so frustrated right now. At 9 DPO last cycle I had very distinct Ov type pain in my left side (same as Ov), which I was sure was implantation. I took a test the morning of AF and although there was an extremely faint line, it had no colour and was a real squinter (FRER). AF showed up about an hour later, so I chalked the line up to an indent line. AF was normal, 6 days, regular flow. Then all through my period I was still getting Ov type pains in my left side. Every time I moved weirdly, or DS put pressure on that area, it was almost like I could feel something in there. As well as when I needed to pee or had just been to the bathroom, the pain was definitely there. I'm still feeling it now (CD 13). Then at CD 11 (Sunday), I got the same pains but on my right side. It was unmissable and went on all day. Yesterday I kept feeling it randomly. My cycle is usually like clockwork. 27 day cycle, 6 days of AF, Ov on CD 14, 13 day luteal phase. I could have sworn I was pregnant last cycle, I kept thinking I was until CD 11 when I got the O type pains. For a few days now I keep getting that feeling AF is about to show up. Very sparse cm but still feeling wet (if you know what I mean). Also hubby and I have BD a few times and I've felt very full, like there's a lot of pressure? I'm so confused. Any insight ladies?
Apologies for the length and if it doesn't make much sense.

So for those of you who used the CB adv digi what day do you consider your O day? The day when you get your peak smile?

Counting from peak day, I'm 5 DPO. I knew I would be crazy in the TTW *lol* I want to test so bad! But, I know that there is no point right now, since nothing would be implanted yet. Gosh, I wish we could skip to the weekend so that I can start POAS! I really want that sticky bean!

I'm counting the day after I get my peak day (the 29th) though it could be the 28th or 30th. I chose to go with the one in the middle. I started cramping 4dpo and had some other 'symptoms' such as frequent urination, constipation, gas and runny nose so naturally I had to start testing at 5dpo! Lol! I knew nothing would show up but it gives me something to look forward to--I miss peeing on sticks with the OPKs. I'm a little cray cray! I haven't had many cramps since but still get some twinges every now and then. Really hope this is a sign of good things to come!
