I did not know this... every time (except June) I was testing with fmu.

Hello ladies!
Iwant4 – what a beautiful progression – yippee!!!
Yep, will head off to get some Brazil nuts at lunch today ;) there’s a Woolies down the road. I think I will forego my pineapple as I read so many mixed reviews am not sure if I should take it, all the more as a bleu swayer.
Halley – unless using the CB dual hormone digi opks, def no fmu – it’s a pain to hold but that will get you the best accurate results ^^
TTCblue – since you are using “simple” CB opks, it should say on the packet to test in the afternoon I would think???
Re your temp, especially since your thermometer is only 1 decimal, it’s less accurate so it may not pick up on more subtle changes – but worry not about a couple of temps – that’s not enough to see any sort of pattern yet – by the end of the week you definitely will have enough data to make something of it though and we’ll be there to help you ;)
Mommy2apples – I don’t want to get your hopes up, I def saw something on one of the wondfos but – since you usually only get BFPs after Af is due, you’re probably right in being patient just a tad longer in order to be sure where you stand – as your temps are still good, hopefully all it is a late implanter like your other babes likely were (hence the hg not being picked up until after AF is due) :hugs:
So weird, after the best night’s sleep in a long time (got over 7 hours solid sleep!!) my temp was actually dropped today – can’t wait for tomorrow’s temp and the following to see where things are heading – hate this uncertainty.
Will try to squeeze in some BD tonight just to be sure…
Lmsm: It says in the directions that it can be taken any time of day, but you need to do it at the same time every day and for this reason some women find it most convenient to test first thing in the morning..
TTCblue – it may be this one is ok to use FMU too- I don’t know, there are so many different options! ;) maybe some of the other US ladies can help, as I don’t think we have the same kits available here in Oz ;)
Agree FMU is great when possible – saves our bladders with being bursting all day haha I was a bit crazy this cycle as had to ensure I had along enough night hold to get decently concentrated FMu for the CB digi then during the day had to hold for the CI opks too – :rofl: - fortunately that only lasted a few days as O came fast!
Lmsm!! Thank you! :) you are the sweetest!
Yes, temps worry me too! This is your cycle lmsm!!

PBN – also just went “lightbulb” moment - today is Thursday so you get your NIPT results don’t you??
Can’t wait to hear!!!
Hi all! Well results aren't in yet and I'm kinda relieved!! I'm losing temptation to find out before birth and with results not being in and no clear nub shots I'm taking this as a sign I'm meant to stay team green 💚 here's a couple of pics my ob did to use in an announcement after nipt results in! I will ring Tuesday and inquire about the health results only :) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c8514ad535.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...db18bc384c.jpg

Great news – that bub is looking perfect so have no doubts the results on Tuesday will just confirm that ^^
Admire you for going team green - :D
Thanks LMSM :) and yes my results from my scan are showing low risk for trisomy 21, and t18 and 13 so just waiting for confirmation on that and the extra syndromes tested for 😀 I'm in awe and cant believe it'll be 4 weeks before I see bub again 😢 I could watch bub all day 😍😍😍
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
No wonder you could just look at bub all day – it’s so amazing to think that little person in growing inside you ;) can you feel her moving as yet?
That’s kinda what makes me ‘regret’ not having OB care in my pregnancies – the opportunity to see bub often! ;)
No cant feel anything at all yet but shouldn't be too long before the bubbles sensation starts 😀😀 cant wait!!!

Ttcblue you weren't doing anything wrong at all with the cb easy ovulation opks! Like LMSM I was only aware of the cb dual hormone digis that used fmu but had also never seen this type before either so they likely don't sell them in Aus :) have highlighted the area in green that clearly states fmu is ok and most convenient in case any one else is using these particular opks.

For crying out loud!!!! I don't know why my pics are loading all fuzzy 😬 will try again
Edited## that's better! At least its readable!

Pbn, it's not fuzzy on my end, that's actually a picture of the exact directions I have from the box. Does this mean I can only test once a day, with first morning urine? Or can I not drink anything from 4-8pm and test again at 8pm? Last month I got a positive at 7pm without abstaining from fluids at all.
No you can test as much as you like I think. They just recommend at the same time each day so you get an accurate comparison progression wise if testing once a day. If you got a positive at 7pm without limiting fluids at all then your super lucky 😀 I wouldn't risk it personally. Although 4 hours is abit much... I think 2-3 hours is ample and usually suggest sipping not gulping and try not to drink like a whole glass over that period (aim for less than half). Sip when your mouth is dry only.

Aww your little baby PBN!!! I couldn't do the team green! Lol you are one tough lady!!
Look at what I found at my Walmart!! Are these the right ones? I was so excited!! Attachment 36915
Then here's the crappy curved handle ones the eBay guy falsely advertised! [emoji19]Attachment 36916

That is how I do it – I aim for a bout 3hours (otherwise there is no way my poor bladder will be happy – if it starts hurting because I am busting it’s time to pee – 3hours with just sips here and there is my way to do it lol)
Mommy – I think the straight ones are indeed the most sensitive ones – the US ladies will know for sure - :D
When will you try using it???
I'm going to try it tomorrow! lol I thought maybe it was a sign from the Lord!!!

Mommy2apples I always checked my frers between the 6 - 10 minute mark as sometimes it takes a little bit for that line to strengthen to a visible faint line.

Yay mommy! That's a find! Not easy to find those!!!! Did the false advertiser ever respond?? Maybe you can leave a negative review to warn others!! Can't wait for your next test!
Wanted me to be more specific on what was false advertisement!
I know I was shocked Lola to find them!

Thank God I have you to do my time conversion PBN haha
I have the time difference between here and Europe down pat as that’s where most of my family is – but I don’t even know how many hours behind my youngest brother is (in NYC)..time I learn :rofl:
So all the more exciting as will likely be awake for the result yipeeeee! :cheer:
LMSM fallbacks are really common! I went from never getting them, to always getting them, to not getting again and had both bfn and bfp charts with and without them. You watch you temp pop right back up in the AM 😀

Mommy-wow, what part didn't he understand! You were very clear in explaining the difference! Either he's clueless or won't admit that he knows that they are clearly not the same. Sorry! [emoji20] So happy you found some though!! You may want to run back to the store to grab some more while they're there!!!

Sleep tight Mommy – hope you can sleep peacefully and be rested for when you get up to test :D :cheer: :cheer:
(and concur with Lola, get some more at the shop if you can, better stock up!!)
Thanks PBN – agree it doesn’t really mean anything as yet – I was just hoping to see the temp continue rising to give me some more confidence….
Having said that I do get some stinging (a bit like a letdown when nursing) in the boobs ( yesterday night I actually noticed a small sore ish lump on of of the areolas that I massaged and it was gone this am)…I swear I could drive myself bonkers interpreting all that my body does (or not) :crazy:
