September/October $$ Store Testers!

[melewen]

Oh I gotcha. I've never seen one of the walmart ones personally (so far from us, and target is dangerously close). Can't wait to see your updates in the next couple days!!

 

[melewen]

So, you guys, this is really weird. I temped this morning and there was another rise (I'm only on DPO 5 so couldn't get too excited!), and then FertilityFriend (FertilityFrenemy?) changed my O day to CD 20. Last month it was CD 18, and honestly I've never charted before then, though it appears cycle #1 (no temping) I O'd on CD 18 because I had VERY clear implantation cramps and pinches starting CD 6 but then again that's a soft argument at best.

Anyway, I did have a dip + spike pattern both those (CD 18 & 20) days, I suppose--CD 20's was above the coverline though, and I did have a weird blob of EWCM on CD 19, so I recorded that and I guess FF took it into account. Then I realized I had recorded my perma-negative OPK (NEVER gotten a positive one, though I think my version of an almost-equal OPK could have actually been a positive.. just have low LH floating around? Maybe!) most days UNTIL CD 18, so when I recorded negatives on CD 18 & 19 (the days I actually took them), FF jumped back its crosshairs to put me O'ing on day 18. Then I basically changed all of my OPK's to "N/A", which I think is a little more.. accurate, and as this was happening it was jumping back and forth again!

Crazy right? It doesn't ultimately matter, I guess, or does it? In terms of testing and symptom-making-up-in-my-head it does, but I also worry that with my usually 29 day cycle that luteal phase would be mega short. Though I suppose if I actually had O'd on CD 20 my luteal phase would adjust accordingly? My chart is in my signature. I know this has been SERIOUSLY detailed and TMI info, but what the heck FF!

To be honest I would go with your temps over the opk's...since opk's only detect a serge but your temps confirm ovulation. Leave out the opk's since you don't seem to be 100% about them anyway.

 

[melewen]

Yeah, I've never once gotten a positive OPK! It's pretty frustrating but my temps are pretty clear I think. So I'll go with the original CD18 then! Only 5 days left til I start testing prematurely! Lol

Hey girls may i join, hello beachy! I never throught id get a dollartree positive but i did yesterday and today lets see how the rest of my cycle pulls through

 

[kissesandhugs]

Have been spotting old blood for the past 2 days here and there but today it's been clear every time I wipe a part of me wonders if I am pregnant as the spotting had been brown and one time (first wipe) was pink but that'sv the pulling at straws side of me lol. I guess if I don't start tomorrow I'll test again if it's a bfn then I'll know it's just af taking her sweet time! I already bought opks and a thermometer thinking I started Friday!

 

[kissesandhugs]

Welcome baby rose!

hey not sure if this is what you are asking, but yes once you test to should continue to get multiple positives, darker at that

[kissesandhugs]

Hmmm I don't see anything do you see something irl?

 

[MamaBee413]

Priss, can you invert the picture (on my phone it is under the Effects tab and makes a negative of the image)? Sometimes, that can show better. I think I see what you see, but am not sure if it is the indent. I'm hopeful for you though!

Also, this one was taken between 15 and 20 minutes in sunlight:

 

[BeachyFeelin]

Hi baby rose!!!! You got multiple days of positive dollar store OPK's? I have seen around that some women can get a couple days of positives! I think they say you should go off your first positive and base ovulation off that. Though since you are also temping I'm guessing FF will figure it out.

@misspriss - I don't see anything yet Though 10DPO is still VERY early!

@kissesandhugs - I think I had implantation bleed/spotting before my BFP last cycle. I say think because at the time I thought it was spotting from my pap smear (though it was a week later) and I'm starting to think it was implantation. It was only some watery brown spotting for a couple days. Maybe that's what your having?

 

[kissesandhugs]

Nope af definitely showed today! :/ misspriss I think I see something in that last one!
