MAY testers???

[Mcrobinson]

So I have always purchased opks from Walgreens but I am sure they are more expensive than what you can get online. What tests do you ladies use? How many and how much come in a package?

I used Clearblue digi with smiley in the beginning and then switched to dollar store brand. both worked but i definitely prefer the digi as there is no trying to figure out how dark the line is. Open circle for no, smiley for yes. totally worth the money.

Clearblue come in a pack of 10 or 20 sticks with the digi monitor. Unfortunately it is hard to find just refills if the first month isn't a bfp.

Official test day is May 4th! Of course I can't stop testing now :/ lol I glance at it and see BFN then spot something quick then its gone again. First month TTC so I just don't have an eye for it yet!

My first couple months TTC I tested like crazy!! Now it seems like a grand waste of $$ so I'll let myself take 1 early test to ease my mind

I agree Belle

I keep one FRER in my drawer and that is all I will allow myself to do around AF week. Other than that. I will stand strong !

I always say I'm just going to wait till AF, but I've never been able to! Longest I can hold out for is 12 dpo

I once spent over $100 on frers. It was crazy. That was the month I got my bfp but still a waste. I was testing so early. I didn't get squinter until 10dpo and I do mean squinter, more of a shadow. But a pink line didn't show until 13dpo.
This month I am going wondfo for the first time and I will be testing early but not until 8 dpo. I like having ovulation confirmed at 7dpo.

I use wondfo opk and hpts. I get them on Amazon for cheap. I've used the digital smiley and liked it but wondfos have given me blaring positive opk every month I've used them. After 18 months I can't afford FRER or clear blue lol ill be using wondfo it start testing out the trigger tomorrow!

 

[Kate3985]

haha I've already spent way too much I'm sure I may slow down but right now its fascinating! I'm also stalking all the pregnancy test posts trying to see these faint lines everyone sees

 

[ambertwogood]

I still waiting on a positive LH.....so I think I'm jsut out this cycle completley, unfortunately. I got a bad virus, like FLU and I'm pretty sure I either got a surge the day I slept all day and didn't test, or getting sick screwed everything up this cycle. Either way I am disappointed, I was hoping to be taking PT's right now, not OPK's still. Where are all the early testers? I keep waiting to see pics to oogle over and no one is posting any for everyone to squint at......What's up?

 

[Aayla]

You'll be waiting a bit for me. I won't even be ovulating until the week of the 12th and since I am using clear blue digi with smiley there will be no lines to figure out for opks. Test day begins at 8dpo. So around May 20-22.

 

[ambertwogood]

Just took these. Decided to give it a shot on the FR just in case something was wrong with the one steps...... Am I actually gearing up to O or am I gearing up for AF. It's def darker than it has been in a long time. but AF would of been due around the 9th (according to FF) what do you ladies think? Did being sick, push everything back a week, or am I getting darker OPK's bc AF is around the corner? Anyone else ever had this happen to them and it all turn out okay, + pt or not at the end, like you still O'd and AF was pushed just pushed back?

Test day for me is in 8 days! I'm 6dpo, I think. I've been just keeping track on ovia, but being pretty lazy and relaxed about it. I'm hoping that's what it takes this time! Temping and stuff stresses me out sometimes, so I've been being a lot less obsessed about it! I hope it works, I don't know how much longer I can hold out on buying opks, if I don't get a BFP this cycle. I can't wait for squinters and BFPs!!!

 

[WannabeaMama1]

Two good - that looks like a BFP to me! I've also heard that lots of women get flu like symptoms with implantation and the first weeks of pregnancy! Congrats! I hope all is well!

Are these OPKs? If so they are not positive yet. Unfortunately the darkness doesn't mean much unless they are positive.. Mine were going darker and lighter all the time and the day before I got the positive it was totally blank, then BAM! Positive as!

As for me I'm about 6DPO according to fertility friend. I did a test this morning and I kept staring at it and thought if I turned it on the right angle I swear I could see a line but I think I just WANTED to see a line ha ha.. Ssssoooo I threw it away, told myself I was crazy and I will try to resist testing tomorrow but I'm sure I'll fail ha ha!

 

[dogmommy]

I won't be able to test early or else I would probably get false positives bc of the trigger shot!

Wouldluvabub I'm 6dpo too! Fingers crossed you get your BFP!

 

[wouldluvabub]

Thanks you to! I think I'm maybe 4-5 DPO. I don't know how reliable my temps are as I am restless thanks to the kids. Fertility friend put my O day on the same day I got my positive OPK which I think it weird but I'll go by that and say I'm 6DPO because I have had high temps since then.

Excuse my lack of knowledge but what is the trigger shot?

 

[BelleNuit]

Test day is in 2 days for me!!

I'm 10 dpo today and have been experiencing some really bad nausea this week. Potential TMI alert for some people, my cervix was so soft it was blending into the walls. I could barely differentiate where it was. It's also very tightly closed!! I can feel any kind of opening!! I've heard this is a good sign of early pregnancy, so I'm hopeful again!! Stupid tww with its "symptoms" that give us hope lol
