March 2020 testing thread

Kimmi just depends on the man/sperm count and health. I'd say it might be worth shooting for every other day and then maybe every day once you notice fertile cm or positive opk. Also, he shouldn't masturbate on days you don't have sex so his sperm can recoup.

Cupcake I got one at 10dpo this pregnancy and 11dpo with my 2nd (it was negative at 10dpo).

what about with a cheapie or a dollar store one? Ugh this BFN is just making me sad

 

[MrS. MaBrEy]

What’s the earliest a CBD could show something? I took a dollar store test and it’s a BFN

CBD claim 56% accurate from 4 days before, which would be 11dpo. Dollar tree is usually 25mui, which is usually going to show positive from 12-14dpo depending on a person and how their body processes.

I've gotten positives at 10dpo on FRER and wondofo early result for both of my sons. FRER has a bad batch out right now with a lot of false positives...just something to consider when deciding what to test on next.

I got faint positive with IC at 10dpo. I think I implanted earlier though. I don't think I would have gotten positives with my 1st at 10dpo

Thanks ladies, so I still could have a chance?

I think he is keen on getting himself checked out to be fair, as we are approaching cycle 9 now. I know the chances are reduced due to my age too. And haha he knows not to play with himself while I'm not there!!!!!

 

[Flueky88]

Cupcake yes still a chance

Kimmi it took 18 months to conceive my 1st, but I was 28 and DH 31. We had already made appt with fertility specialist and then boom bfp! A sperm count is a good first step though

 

[jellybeanxx]

@Kimmi82 as Flueky says, it depends on his sperm count. My DH has his checked back in 2012 and his count was really good but only 2% morphology so more often was better for us. We did it 5 times in 2 days during my fertile window this time

 

[Lightning7]

Lightening I’m so sorry hun, what about maca root? Also b-50 complex could make your LP longer.

jellybean oh heck yay! Congrats

congrats to you too flukey

I take a mega B complex at the moment, is that the same as B50 or different?

Dr suspects there could also be a sperm issue because of hubby having T1 Diabetes. She thought he should get a sperm analysis. But we were there for me not him at the time so she didn't order one for him lol just told him to ask his Dr.

Hi ladies I cant believe I'm here but here I am
I came off my pill and had my first real AF off birth control on 27th feb.
I started opk testing from cycle day 7
Line was barly there. Cycle day 8 we DTD and didnt use pull out thinking it shud be safe.
I've noticed and increase in cm and am feeling extremely tired. Tested today cycle day 10 and got this

Have tested again this evening and the line is lighter again


Wud u say this mornings test is a postive?
I will continue to test just in case.
Feeling very tired and a little crampy.
Looks like I will be taking a pregnancy test in the next 2 weeks. Eeeeeeeeek.

Yesterday I thought I had started bleeding again but turned out to be a bunch of CM. Also had some EWCM today which was really stretchy (gross)

I have never gotten a positive on a OPK this early b4. With my son I got my positive on cycle day 13. I know it's only 3 days difference but weird.
I'm hoping AF does show because I really want to get to know my cycles b4 we ttc. But if a pregnancy happens i will see it as a blessing esp being 40.
When u get a postive OPK when are you 1dpo?
I ovulated on the same day I got my postive OPK with our son.

I guess I'll be testing around March 25th?

Good luck ladies.

The morning one may have been close enough to positive, however I would maybe try testing for another couple of days to see if it gets darker again since it is early for you and wasn't quite as dark as control line? I could be wrong but have heard there can be multiple surges before you get the good surge that triggers the egg.

After the positive OPK ovulation is meant to happen within 12-36 hours, so without tracking BBT you can guess 1dpo to be either the next day or day after that

Good luck for whatever result you are really hoping for

9DPO today, didn’t test today going to wait a few days. Anyone else ever take progesterone suppositories? Did they give you mad mood swings and make you emotional? Today I’m having a day and can’t stop crying and being angry.

 

[Bevziibubble]

You're doing great with holding out for the testing. Good luck for when you do test

 

[Deethehippy]

Just checking in. Me and OH BD on Friday night but wasn’t able to last night. I think I will ovulate on Tuesday so hoping to get more BD in beforehand! (OH out all day so hoping not too tired later)
Worse case scenario and we don’t manage anymore is it possible 4 days
before?

Hope everyone is ok and having a good weekend.

Sugger the morning test looks positive. Was it fmu? I think you csn get false positives with opks with fmu. If it wasn't then yay for tww today

Lightning hope you get some answers from testing DH. Hopefully either his count, morphology, etc are normal or something that can be remedied.

 

[Flueky88]

Cupcake you have the patience of a saint! Didn't use suppositories but I had pms moodiness x100 when pregnant with my 1st.

Deet no experience with 4 days b4 but we only BD on O day this cycle. So it can definitely happen with just once during fertile window. I'm sure I've read if women conceiving BDing only 4 or 5 days b4 O.

It was with FMU but after I had a drink.
I'm gonna keep testing but today's test line is v v v faint again.

Hi ladies thanks for replies.
So I started temping yesterday I was resting and sleeping all afternoon because I felt really tired and off so I thought why not. My normol temp is around 36.6 but was 37.2 and this morning its shot up to 37.4 so its definitely up. Test is almost stark white hardly any line at all. I had mild period cramps and lower back ache on friday and yesterday and a little today. Still having an increase in cm but its milky now.
When we tried for our son my ovulation test only got as dark as yesterdays and it turned out I got pregnant that cycle. The only time the line was darker than control was when I was 6 weeks pregnant.
Also think my cycle length is 26 to 28 days. App its normol to O from cycle day 10 onwards so I'm freaking a tiny bit.
I'll add today's test and my chart. I know I've started mid cycle I did the same with my son I'm so rubbish hahaha.

Will keep temping every morning and will keep going OPKs for a few more days but I think the EGG may of already escaped. Eeeeeek

 

[Flueky88]

It does sound like you did O

 

[Suggerhoney]

I also have a very short LH surge. On friday the tests were nearly positive and then yesterday was the postive I think. I dont normoly have any other LH surge unless I'm Ovulating but will keep testing just incase.

Thanks for ure help ladies. I'll be keeping u all posted. I just wanna do a huge face palm right now. Do they even have that smiley lol.
