January testers?

[krissie328]

Krissie - could be. I mean, if you don't have an egg to shed than it's possible you are having a lighter period? I don't know the biology behind it to be sure though

I don't understand it either. But all my cycles since September have been anovulatory and light. So I'm thinking there is a correlation.

Hi ladies! I've been testing this month...bfn's so far. I'm a couple days past my AF due date. Today I took an OPK for giggles and it was positive. Took a HPT at the same time and I'm pretty sure it just has an indent or evap. *sigh*

Good morning ladies,

Congrats on all the BFP so far its seems this is a lucky forum!

Well my story...cut short...I had been on the depo for a year and had my last injection in June 2014 (18 months ago). I got my first cycle in September 2015 and since then the cycles have been irregular. My cycles have been 26 days, then 31 days and then 39 days. I am not sure when I am due on and I haven't done any ovulation sticks this month but if I base it on my longest cycle I should be due on Wednesday 20 January so this will be the day I test.

Here's hoping we get a lot more BFP this month!

Hi there

My AF is due 27th January roughly so you can put me down for that. Although Im not sure why Im bothering as think there may be something wrong but you have to be 'in it to win it' right

Angel I'm stalking you


I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot ugh 4 more days and I'm busting out the cheapies!!

 

[Pne1985]

Angel, that's what I thought. I might not even waste a test either. It's just completely out of the normal for me. I did have a blighted ovum and miscarried at 9 weeks in October and ever since, the periods before this one were extremely heavy and long so I'm thinking my body is still out of whack!
Krissie, mine are usually the same. I was perfectly fine once I got AF, but once it was different, it made me question and Google every possibility of implantation! Haha

 

[Unicornwoman]

Well, AF came early this weekend. I'm out for January.

On to cycle 4 TTC. Testing on February 2nd (Groundhog's Day)!

 

[Torz]

I'm really not feeling well, I've had a super painful throat for a week now & this morning I went to the doctors & I have tonsillitis

I've been put on antibiotics so I'm hoping I feel better soon. I just hope taking antibiotics doesn't negatively affect ttc.

AFM - been having some low back pain, which is very out of normal for me. Trouble falling asleep last night because of it. Finally got to sleep but Woke up about midnight cramping and went to bathroom and there was some blood. Not a lot, but there. Went back to sleep and so far this morning it's not consistent, more like spotting. So I think I'm out. Today's temp was up, which is frustrating, but when I checked my past charts on about half of them the temp rose on CD1 and then started to drop after that. I never got a BFP so it wasn't a CP, I just don't understand how my LP goes from a consistent 10 days to suddenly 13/14? I didn't think that could happen. I mean, I think it's probably a good thing to have a longer LP, but just really frustrating. We were getting our hopes up.

Hi ladies! I've been testing this month...bfn's so far. I'm a couple days past my AF due date. Today I took an OPK for giggles and it was positive. Took a HPT at the same time and I'm pretty sure it just has an indent or evap. *sigh*

Be careful about taking HPT at same time as OPK. If you dip an HPT in the same urine as an OPK and the OPK was dipped first it can actually cause an HPT to be positive when it isn't positive. A Friend of mine actually tested this when she knew she wasn't actually pregnant and got a BFP when she dipped the HPT after the OPK.

krissie[\b]- I don't know the science behind it either, but it makes sense to be that your period would be lighter in an anovulatory cycle. I did a quick Google search and it seems a lot of women in an anovulatory have light periods. But is there anything else that makes you think it was?

Welcome, wannabump[\b]and wantingagirl[\b]! Best of luck to you both!

TorZ[\b] hope you feel better soon! Being sick is the worst! I'm getting over the flu myself. Stay hydrated!

Angel[\b] I'm so sorry to hear that AF got you! I was so sure that I would see your bfp announcement the next time I checked the thread! *hugs*


As for me, I'm 12dpo today and AF is due. Still all bfn's as well. So it looks like I'm out, which means we'll be on a break TTCing until May because I have a surgery next week and also we're trying avoid Oct-Dec because everyone in DH's family has their birthdays then. And I'm surprisingly pretty sad about this cycle. I mean it was a one shot cycle and I know most couple don't conceive on the first try (and tons I know that are lyric), but still sad. And I had two consecutive cp's/early mc's last year, so I'm thinking well how come I could get pregnant twice by accident but not when trying? Blah, sorry I'm feeling glum and that was all stream of consciousness/word vomit *lol*

 

[CP x]

I guess I don't have a specific date to test, I got my IUD removed December 28th and AF was due on the 8th and no sign yet. Took a test a couple days ago and it was negative so I'll keep testing this week unless AF decides to show her ugly face. Good luck ladies!

 

[LuLu15]

Hi ladies!!! Hope everyone is doing great!! I'm just sitting over here waiting for days to go by...tww and at 2dpo now. We are also selling our house and packing it which will hopefully keep me busy as well as working!! How is everyone feeling?

 

[krissie328]

Not much going on here. Cd 5 and my 4th night of clomid. So just waiting to see if I o.

 

[Trr]

Also cycle day 5 for me. Just waiting impatiently for o and for my preseed and HPTs.

Then some more waiting.

 

[LuLu15]

Are you ladies using opks to see when you O? I'm trying to hold off on testing until my date of the 24th. Poas addiction is real lol. No use on using hpt anytime soon but you all know the struggle! Lol

 

[Ursaula]

Hello gals

In regards to how I'm feeling I've been super nauseous, just waiting for a bfp or af. I'll be 21dpo tomorrow. I personally don't use OPKs, I just chart my temps.

Does it mean anything when multiple tests come back positive after the 10 minute mark? Or is it just a coincidence?

 

[ser523]

Ugh, my body is messing with me now. AF hasn't shown yet today even though she's due. Still all BFNs and I feel like I'm not pregnant. I just want to move on with things at this point

Ursuala, so you don't have any lines before the time limit? Perhaps they're just light and then you can see then better? And how long after are we taking? How many times/days has this happened? I mean you're not supposed to read positives after the time limit, but last year I double checked one and there was a line and I was pregnant (though sadly became an early mc).

I would wait two days and test again. If this happens again, I would call the doctor, explain the situation and ask for a blood test.

 

[Ursaula]

Thanks Ser! I know we aren't "suppose" to look at them, it's just fun to finally see a line (if it's an evap). The very first one I noticed was the next day but the last 3 or so were within an hour or two.

I was on my phone and came across a photo that was clearly positive (a negative of a photo that I did take within the 10 minute mark) but when I click on it you can hardly see it. I'm thinking it must be like you said, they're just super light right now? (Or I'm not pregnant...)

 

[ser523]

Hmmm... I don't evaps would be happening so frequently. If you can, wait two days and test again. If you're pregnant, your hgc levels will double then and you should get a darker line. Good luck!

 

[Frizzabelle]

I'm on cd 7 and have a question for the ladies who use opks. I've just got mine through the post but I don't know what cycle day i should start using them? I have a 28 day cycle so was thinking cd12...is that too late? xx
