Ladies, the line on my FRER keeps darkening. I took a clearblue and it said "not pregnant" is this normal?

Trust your frer, I’ve read the clear blues sensitivity it a lot less so takes a lot longer to register.
This is it eighme

Wowsers that is a pos opk alright!!! I would dtd again as it will almost be like smep then.. I think you're past the point about worrying on number of attempts right? Sending so many sticky pink vibes your way mummy2boys@!!! May this change of an early o bring a super big fat positive hpt

Aw thanks for keeping an eye on me Pbn! I truly appreciate every bit of advice you have given me.
I think I’m definitely close to O, here’s my opk from just now
So should we bd again or not?! We have done for the last two nights, unintentionally last night haha

Eeeeeeeeeekkk!!!!!! this is almost as exciting as a bfp HDP go get your baby dancing shoes on! Woohoo!! So happy to see this!

F. I. N. A. L. L. Y!!! My turn is here! After 20 days of testing and disappointment, I got my blazing +ve OPK around noon today :-). It's CD 32 for me.

Can't wait for DH to come home and get our first count worthy attempt in. Incidentally, today would also be 4 days since the last BD.
Pbn, you should absolutely say 'I told you so' now :-)

Strangely, my CM is all dry now. I got EWCM many times in the cycle but they were all alongside - ve OPK. This time the opk is positive, but CM doesnt indicate fertile window! Fx for me, please!

Eighme frers have a sensitivity of approx 6.5mIU whereas CB digis are about 50mIU from memory. So if your level was say 10 for the first test it will have doubled in 48 hours (today right?) but still been well below 50. Likely between 20-40. So I'd wait for another 48 hours from today and test then and you'll see your pos digi

Thanks. So I didnt know too much about opk. I thought any line was considered positive, but I've been hearing that it doesn't work like hcg tests. In my pic of the tests, one is darker, but it looked like I dipped it for too long and it bled over. It even stained onto the paper I left it on. It was not positive till I got back later. Before and after these were negative. But I was nervous if the line never got dark because I missed it at night, cant I BD one attempt after the first faint line? I know every cycle is different, but generally my apps and FF gets my cycles right every time even though I'm not regular. Even without temps and opk. I dont even know how.

Sorry pic isnt so clear

I remember now. And yes that test that was left sitting in the sample needs to be ditched as its totally unreliable. Do you have an opk from June 13th? If you did o on the 14th then it likely would have been pos? There's no point in bding on a negative opk (light line) as you will get this for most of your cycle. You're trying to catch your peak surge to time your attempt close to the egg dropping (within 72 hours). Can I suggest testing between 1-3pm after a 2 hour hold and limited fluids (so try to just sip rather than gulp for the few hours before testing) and if the line starts darkening test once again in the evening between 6-8pm? Alternatively you may like to try the cb dual hormone digital opks that use fmu so no need to worry about holds/restricting fluids etc. You'll get an open circle first meaning not fertile, then a flashing smiley (which may continue for several days) meaning there is a change in your lh and estrogen levels, then you'll get a solid (non flashing) smiley that will indicate your peak surge and is equivalent to a pos opk. You dtd the day of solid smiley for one attempt at pos opk.

Hopefully not long now Noemi!! Gotta be close!

Hdp i am testing twice daily, i am a big consumer of opk still not positive

[Pbn3]

Omg wow! I have so much to catch up on.
I’m Sorry Gafan- fingers crossed for next month .
Congrats Eighme I definitely think it’s too early for a digital, maybe wait a couple more days
HDP - omg yay!!!!
Yay mummy welcome back x

How’s everyone else going?

I’m trying to be more laid back this month , no OPk, even though Im itching to go get some lol
And I’m debating which e4d to do - 72hr or 96hr.. hahaha the decisions


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2fdf7e

Why not try a 96 version for this cycle and then move onto 72 hour version next cycle? I'd start today though as there's no bding yet on your chart? Did you really have just a one day af of light bleeding??!! for some reason I'm sure we've discussed this before (sorry ) and it's not uncommon?? wish I had a photographic memory!!

I know right! I'm probably more excited about this, than many people might be about BFP. I called my DH at work squealing something along the lines of positive opk, come home early etc. He thought we were pregnant and was like Wowww. Then I explained +Opk to him and he went 'phhhh ah ok ok. I'll get home when my meetings are done' :-D. He did come home early though, and we got our attempt in. I was so happy that I could share the updates with you girls here, vs explaining the female reproductive cycle to a boy, to get a reaction :/

Honey, you will get your +ve Opk very soon. Draw faith from my experience this cycle. I got my pos at CD 32, when I usually get AF on this day. My usual O is around CD 18.
