Late July Testers! Let's wait together!

[OliveLove]

Well I hope you managed to catch your egg Olive! We are right around the same spot in our cycles then. AF is due Thursday for me, I'm waiting to test until Thursday or Friday. I don't even have any HPTs at home. I know if I had one I would be tempted to test lol

Mine is due on Moday..so might test over the weekend. I have a bunch of IC sand one FRER..I will only test with FRER if I miss my period by a couple of days, not about to waste that! LOL

 

[Ask4joy]

Do you all use the FAM or the advanced setting on FF? When I change to FAM it gives me CH on CD16. I read that experienced charters prefer FAM.

 

[Weebles]

I use the advanced. Last month FF had me down for a different day on all three methods but advanced was right in the middle.

 

[CobynTTmom]

So... I just now got a positive opk on CD 24. With a normal cycle of 31 days. Although last month's was 33 days. Last week I had all signs of O without actually O'ing. Can anyone help decipher wth is going on? Lol I am so.... confused. Although I didn't get any ewcm this month at all.

 

[WishnandHopn]

Ask4 I also use Advanced...unless it gives me crosshairs in a weird place and then I'll change it to see if it changes. FAM may be more accurate if you have daily data on CM and CP I think.

Cobyn that's tricky! What is your usual luteal phase length? It could be that your body geared up to O and then didn't last week, and you're going to O any day now!

From my understanding FAM relies mostly on thermal shift where advance takes other factors more into account.

[BelleNuit]

I use advanced because I think other fertility factors such as cm and cp are important to consider

 

[WishnandHopn]

Oh oops I guess I mixed up advanced and FAM! FF has not been my friend lately...last month both fam and advanced said I O'd on cd15 so I was extremely surprised when AF showed her ugly face at 10 dpo (usually not till 14!) I changed it to Research and it put my O 2 days earlier so that made a little more sense.

 

[MissYogi]

Wow I've missed a ton since being away! Looks like we might even have our first cautious BFP, hope it sticks!

I am very near O day, expecting a temp rise tomorrow or the next day, although I might have a delayed O because it's been such a weird month. I got married over the weekend! Hopefully it doesn't mess with my cycle, but right now I'm really just riding the high of the wedding and I am not feeling like I'll be too disappointed if it doesn't work out this month although of course it would be fantastic if it happened right away. We've been BDing every other day and we may do a bit more in the next few days to cover my O day. Then I'll be away on the honeymoon for a week so luckily I can't obsess over the TWW. Testing will be on July 31st! Can't wait!

 

[Aphy]

Congrats on the wedding MissYogi! Hope it was everything you dreamed about and that the honeymoon is productive

I'm not having such a great day today. For 4 days now i have had a pain in my right ovary, particularly when i go to the bathroom and have to (tmi) push. Iv also for the past 3 days had the tense pressure like feeling i always get on the day AF starts but she so far hasn't shown herself. This feelings is literally permanently there, its so uncomfortable and distracting. Tested this morning and got a BFN at 11/12 dpo. I think AF is being particularly cruel this month My cycle length is a little irregualr but i suspect she is coming sometime later this week

 

[BabyBlondex]

Im out! Af arrived 4 days late! Its back to the drawing board for me, good luck ladies! I'm not to dissapointed though, with this heat wave I'm going to enjoy a few drinks tonight in the sunshine 😀

 

[Cinderella]

Congrats on the wedding Yogi! Happy honeymoon!

Aphy - I'm right there with you, this sucks!

AFM: I feel like i'm out, despite the earlier 'line'. I've been peeing on ICs almost every time I pee, just hoping to see any sort of line, they're 25mlu, but I figured if the earlier 10mlu was real, it was bound to show up on the 25 soon, but no such luck.

Today I used an early superdrug test (10mlu) as I'd read they were some of the most reliable and there's nothing. Well, maybe the tiniest, faintest of lines, but you'd think it would be more prominent now if it was real.

AF isn't due until the 23rd, have been having AF type cramps the past two nights but no AF which isn't usual for me, I usually only cramp when I'm having my period.

I know I'm not out out until AF does show, but it just seems unlikely that it would still be so faint at 12dpo??

If you hadn't guessed, this is sending me slightly crazy

edit - here's this morning's test:

[Ask4joy]

Congrats on your marriage, MRS. Yogi!

BB - sorry to hear you are out! FX for next cycle! Enjoy those drinks for all of us!

Cind - It ain't over till it's over! FX!

I am only 5-6dpo (I think!) but did a Wondfo because I have 25 and why not?! (Definite poas addict). I saw a vvvf line but am assuming it's an evap as its so early. I'll attach the pic.

Here's it tweaked.

 

[BelleNuit]

Sorry for those who are out!

Testers, the suspense is killing me! You aren't out till AF shows!

Bah! My temp was high again today! If it's high tomorrow it'll be considered triphasic. This definitely has me excited, BUT I'm trying to remain cautious about it because I have been hugely disappointed by stupid LP temps in the past lol.

I'm 12 dpo today and usually start spotting at 12 dpo if AF is coming. Fingers crossed that won't happen and that tomorrow's temp is just as high. If tomorrow's temp is this high it will be hard to conceal my enthusiasm lol. If Thursdays temp is this high, I may actually lose my mind.

 

[krissie328]

Fx for all the ladies testing! I had my second day of high temps so I'm thinking 2 dpo.

Does anyone get ewcm in tww? I usually never do but I had tons yesterday.

 

[WishnandHopn]

Cinderella...so sorry your line disappeared...but don't count yourself out it's still pretty early! Some people don't get a positive until after AF is late.

Ask4...i have those same tests at home! It's so early...but it's good you have a baseline to compare with!

Belle...seriously excited for you!!! I have chart envy. My no temp chart is so sad and mysterious!

krissie...my cm dries up pretty quick after O...so if you still have EWCM, maybe keep BDing just in case you haven't O'd yet!

 

[Ask4joy]

Haha, yes, Wish! That's what I tell myself...I'm testing early so I have a baseline, not because I'm a poas freak!

 

[WishnandHopn]

It's for the sake of science, of course!
