****MAY 2020 TESTING & LUCKY THREAD - feel free to join***

Yeah but your false positive could be a real positive....keep the faith. I hope the other tests arrive soon and I have everything crossed for you.

I see it saveme. Good luck!

My confusing cycle continues. Yesterday and this morning I thought I could see the faintest line on my cheapies but I could only picture it when it was dry so figured they were evaps. Did a frer this morning and can see the faintest of somethings but I think it's the indent. This afternoon I got a positive opk. So I'm either very early days pregnant or about to ovulate considering my temps are pretty low I'm guessing I'm about to ovulate but I've never done bbt before except the past few days so I've no idea what my normal temp is.

I'm back again with a medicated cycle this month. I'm CD10 today. I had positive OPKs yesterday and Today (will attach a photo). I took letrozole 5mg days 3-7. I'm so skeptical of the possibility of ovulating right now... I feel like it's really quick.

I use an ovusense sensor for temping and you can't use it if you're bleeding, so I didn't get any temps onto my chart until CD8...so it's hard to tell if a shift is about to happen. I have a dip though so maybe. We'll babydance today to cover our bases and keep doing OPKs until my charts confirm ovulation. If I do ovulate today I'll be testing starting the 18th...but realistically the 21st.

Good luck, looks like you're going to ov soon!

@saveme - hope it gets darker!

As for me, I'm confused. I've been using LH strips and generally know how my peak test looks. And right before AF shows, the tests become super negative, I mean barely visible. So, suddenly since (assumingly) 8dpo, I've been getting very positive LH tests. And I mean, darker than anything I've gotten before. Do you guys think I might actually be ovulating now?

Have you tried a cheapie hpt just to rule out the latter. Seems lkke you're about to ovulate again- it could be body was gearing up to but then didn't

 

[saveme]

I’m testing on the 9th this month.

Good luck

I'm seeing super faint lines though on the hpt

Yeh me too

I think we'll dtd tonight and tomorrow just in case and we'll just have to wait and see what hpts and temps do over the next few days. I'm far too impatient for this

I don’t know anything about OPK’s but I can see the lines on the HCG sticks....I don’t think you get HCG when about to ovulate but you can get positive OPK’s I have read in early pregnancy. Good luck this is reason for long cycle because some women do test positive later.

I’ve been silently stalking this thread.. so sorry to just pop in!
Salamander - I can see all lines on the HPT. It is unlikely that you could capture the indent line in a photo, plus it looks pink! I’ve been using those cheapies for years and honestly sometimes it’s just easier to see that line after it dries (in early pregnancy)

Opks will turn positive when you are pregnant because LH and HCG are almost identical with one protein molecule difference. So an OPK will turn positive for HCG but it doesn’t work the other way around. So this is all good signs.

I just got a positive HPT yesterday but I have a history of early losses- this is my third pregnancy of 2020. I used my opk each time before HPT to find I was pregnant.
This is a good sign!

Hello and welcome, no need to stalk..more the merrier thank you for the insight, I was thinking similar so hopefully Salamander is in with a good chance of this being her early BFP.

Congratulations on your positive test..I really hope you have a good outcome this time.

Thank you! I really hope this is my bfp. Hopefully, if it is positive, it's a sticky baby. I dont think I could cope with another miscarriage.

Congratulations on your positive! Fx its sticky for you

Congratulations! Praying this is a sticky bean for you! Can I ask, how many dpo when your opk was positive and your hpt?

 

[tbfromlv]

Thanks ladies I am really hoping too. I’ve only had a successful pregnancy with IVF and with all this COVID stuff, we can’t do that right now!

I got a positive HPT at 9dpo. I seem to be an early implanter (who knows- maybe that’s a problem!) but my opk wasnt blazing positive then. It was positive at 10dpo though. Today I am only 11dpo so still early!

last cycle was super weird for me and I had 2 LH surges and I wasn’t sure when or if I ovulated because I wasn’t temping. I took a opk for the heck of it and it was blazing. Took HPT and was also positive. I counted back to my LH surges and that put me at about 9/10dpo also.

EDIT: I have read that it is not always 100% of the time your opk will turn positive so please don’t let that throw you off! I was just sharing my experience with that in relation to Salamanders post!
