****October Testing Thread**** Pumpkin BFP Patch

[Lucy3]

Does anyone have any experience with the cb ovulation tests with the flashy smiley faces? So far I hate them! So expensive and didn’t seem to work for me. Only ever got the flashy smiley face (which shows estrogen surge) and never got the solid lh surge face. I have definitely ovulated now and just tested to see (I’m around 4dpo) and it’s STILL flashing at me! Seriously annoying! Has anyone used them before?

12dpo and bfn for me so pretty sure I'm out. I'm ok with it. Apart from being super anaemic my gp also said my folate was low which obviously wouldn't be good if I was pregnant. Good luck ladies

I hope you can sort out your anaemia quickly and hopefully them get a BFP soon after

@Lucy3 Yes, I have used them. Hate them. They are either broke or delayed in agreeing with other opks on peak day. Some women swear by them though. …not me.

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Lucy3 That is really annoying! I have never used them myself, but in the years of TTC, I think there are only one brand of OPKS that 'agree' with me. I can read them easily and they always give me a clear answer. I know it seems to be that way for some women. Better results with certain brand.
CB definately seems to not be agreeing with your body!

@AlwaysTheAunt Glad you got some iron to help. xxx
@salamander91 Hope they fix the anemia soon so you can get a sticky bean shortly after!!

AF arrived this morning. Good luck everyone still waiting

 

[Lucy3]

Sorry af came @salamander91 wishing you lots of baby dust for your next cycle

Got another flashy smiley today, so that’s keeping me entertained. I was at the supermarket and frer were on sale so I picked done up. Was trying to hold off so now I have the pink box staring at me waiting to be opened every time I open my special drawer

5dpo and I caved

Picture included x
BFN but that is to be expected so early.

 

[Nima]

Sorry @salamander91, hope your new cycle is the one.

@FTale we are all well again, thanks for asking!

I think I might have a low progesterone. I clearly ovulated a couple of days ago but my temperature is sinking like crazy. I bought a Proov kit to test progesterone levels, will see what that shows.

 

[sallyhansen76]

@salamander91 Sorry about AF

@Nima I didn<t know you could buy progesterone testing kits. That is interesting! Keep us posted!

@Mummy23beauts Loving the early testing! Good luck!

I've got a few easy@home left and 1 frer....I'm totally skint so can't buy any more so I'm using that to try and hold off testing as long as poss!! Lol! I did want to try and aim for the 20th but I'm already struggling

I was meant to wait until the 19th lol.. but I spent so much on tests over the last few months I refuse to buy any expensive ones.

 

[Lucy3]

Lol @Mummy23beauts also 5dpo and almost rested yesterday!

@BabyBrain80 i stepped away from the special drawer last night which was an achievement! If you can hold out till the 20th I’ll be super impressed!

@sallyhansen76 ’it only takes one’ is what I love by with ttc lol

I was watching a YouTubeer who always started tested at 5dpo with her frer. It was so comforting to watch, she’d dip it then put the wrapper over the window for 3 mins then reveal it. She also does the cb digis for o which was interesting to watch. I do love YouTube lo

Hi ladies. I am just catching up. I ended up getting Covid. The whole family actually. The kids weren’t sick at all, thankfully. But, I’m just now feeling stronger. I don’t even know what day it is. DH and I did manage to get a couple of BD in when we felt up to it and I had positive OPK. The weird thing was I was positive for 4 days. Negative now. So, maybe it was related to being sick? I don’t know. I’m feeling better now that I’m on the other side of this virus.

 

[elmum]

Hello everyone! Sorry I’ve been MIA.

so...I did not expect this...almost 2 years of trying for our second and I believe we got our BFP finally...

I am cautiously optimistic. We literally had an appointment to go see the fertility doctor later this month. I’m still in shock...

I was feeling lethargic and dizzy. And had an odd taste it my mouth and felt a bit nauseous. But I also had pelvic cramps so attributed that to AF starting. But I just was like what the heck, I’ll take a test tonight. And low and behold...it was positive! Here are the 2 I took. I think I’ll try an FRER tomorrow.

Sending lots and lots of baby dust to all you ladies!!
