Pbn I have some equate Walmart OPKs left that I don't want to waste, so I'll start with those. I may post lots of pics because I'm not good at reading if the test line is dark enough or not.

Sounds good greydore! Did you get a proper pos last time? I see it marked in your chart as pos but wa the test line as dark as or darker than control? Don't have a pic by any chance?

Like with my last pregnancy? I got positives two days in a row that time around.
[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016
No sorry I meant last cycle but I've just renembered that you put it in there to get ff to allocate o day so never mind lol. Just hoping you get a proper positive as I'm unfamiliar with the opks you have and some people's close to but not quite positive is actually their positive. Makes it harder to do one attempt at pos opk if you're unsure whether these opks give you a proper positive or not. Might be worthwhile getting a brand name back up to test with as well once your walmart opk is getting close? Keep the urine sample until after you check the test in case you need to dip another.

Thank you babybeau! I'm doing well! Today im on CD 6, so just patiently waiting for ovulation!
Pbn- I so hope it's this month!!! And it arrived! I will start temping tomorrow morning. My sister had her baby boy early this morning so temping didn't even cross my mind! Lol.

Thank you!!! She was told years ago that she'd never have children, then a few weeks ago the dr told her that her iron was dangerously low and the baby was way underweight. Today she delivered a 8 pound 7 ounce healthy baby and she's doing great so I'm so excited and feeling so thankful and blessed today! FX that this is my month to conceive since I am so relaxed and in a great place mentally!Quote:

Mtolbert SO good to see you on here again!! Glad you are doing well, are calm, and in a great place!!! And your nephew is adorable! Big congrats to the whole fam!
Pbn - yes I broke down and tested this morning - at 7/8 dpo :( And with a FRER. And of course BFN. Sigh. Then tonight I went totally *off the wagon* diet wise! Didn't eat much dinner but then had two after dinner snacks of total junk! Candy, chips, brownie bite. I feel super gross and super guilty. I know at this point if I'm pregnant baby is either going to implant or not implant and if I'm not pregnant one bad day wont hurt anything but I still feel guilty. I hate "swaying guilt" - I'm so over it!!! I've just been really hungry and grumpy and tired the past week - for no good reason - and indulged in junk :(
I've felt super flushed & had a higher than normal daytime/evening temperature the past few days. Any chance that means anything? I mean I'm guessing it's just related to increased post-O progesterone, which could just be higher than normal this cycle (maybe from the Clomid?), but could it mean anything more?
Greydore my test line is never as dark as the control line on the cheapie OPKs... Drove me crazy so I switched to digital. Seems like that's pretty common, but it does make reading them more difficult.
Hey everyone!
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated, but I have been reading!
Pbn3 - I’ve been testing like an absolute idiot even though I’m only 7dpo/8dpo today. I’ve forced myself to stop because all bfn and I get sad lol even though I am aware it’s too early anyway [emoji23] earliest I have ever seen the slightest bfp was 9dpo so I’m just being silly.
Greydore - I’ve not ever had a positive test on any of the cheapie OPKs even though I’ve been blessed enough to have 3 babes. It gets slightly dark but not once has it been darker than the control.
Oh mtolbert1 - he is the sweetest little nugget [emoji7][emoji7] I love the swollen chucky newborns!! How beautiful, is your sister doing well?
How are you feeling now mummy2boys?
Abc2606 - I’m sitting right on the same dpo as you and keep testing EVEN though I know it’s kind of pointless at this stage [emoji23] the things we do [emoji19] but my fingers and toes are crossed that it was just too early!
And about being off the wagon - apparently cheating is okay and encouraged every now and again, just chalk it up as a bad night and start again tomorrow [emoji8]
Does anyone know if Clomid can cause some pregnancy like symptoms in the tww? I have driven myself crazy because I literally feel pregnant. Sore bbs, nausea, headaches, I am so tired I have been in bed by 9pm which isn’t like me at all!! And I just feel weird. Googling didn’t help much but hopefully you guys have some insight for me [emoji8]

Hi everyone!
Mtolbert your nephew is so adorable!! [emoji7]
ABC and j-elly, I would also cave and test that early, can't help myself. Hoping for bfps in a few days time for you both.
Hi Pbn, my temps aren't reliable atall unfortunately. I'm still sick with a high temp and I have been keeping the fever away with paracetamol so I'm still no wiser. It will be a long wait I think!

Thank you ABC, J-elly, and Mummy! Yes, she is doing fantastic!

Sorry for the slow response, had a busy bonfire night weekend here! Making the most of still being able to drink before I get a BFP :)Quote:

Gonna be trickier to test Mon to Thurs due to my work hours... I might have to figure out a way to test in the loo at work. But I drink that much coffee to keep me going through the day that I find it tough to hold for more than an hour or two in the afternoons, now I'm wondering if that's why I only saw negatives last cycle?
I temp orally. It's seemed a little steadier this month (have had a bit of a dip around CD5 but might be related to AF finishing? Is that a thing?). My timings have definitely been better and so has my sleep pattern so I think that helps.
I'm really hoping that this is a shorter cycle - last month was my first cycle temping and tracking and also my first cycle off BC so it was probably a bit wacky, but I guess I won't find out what's normal for me for a couple of months!
My Ovulation Chart
DP has revealed that he might be away Friday night, which will be CD16... who wants to bet that my positive OPK appears on that day!
He is super gorgeous and cute!! :awe: :awe: :awe:
Mtolbert what a sweet baby! Congrats to your family!
ABC I got a stark white BFN with a frer at 8 dpo with my second son. I don't think I even implanted til 8 dpo, so no way I would've gotten a positive.
Last cycle I had tons of symptoms, even the tingly boobs that so many say were early symptoms of pregnancy. And I definitely wasn't pregnant. All that progesterone can really play tricks on you.
Thanks for all of you ladies' info on OPKs...looks like I might need to break down and buy an expensive digital :/
[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016
I wasn't going to post, but I'm going crazy. So despite saying, "We're taking a cycle off to regroup, and will see what the cheap IVF place in NY says after two REs said we have unexplained RPL and need IVF with PGS," here I am tentatively pregnant again.
Here are my 8DPO and 9DPO progressions.
https://i.imgur.com/nHse6YE.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/kV4djOC.jpg
Issue is that I'm getting borderline BFNs in the morning -- the 9DPO one was at 2 p.m. yesterday when my 9DPO FMU was barely there. This morning was barely there too so I'm going to test later. Any experiences with BFNs with first morning urine?
Other variables here: My progesterone was only 8.3 at 6DPO. I did start taking my leftover progesterone supplements at 8DPO but I'm worried it was too late, even though my RE sort of views prog like atomic -- that it's an effect, not a cause.
I also had either a huge dip below coverline today or a slight +.1 climb -- two temps taken seconds away from each other. Any insight?
TP- I think this is what happened to me with my DS2. Looking back on it, I had such faint or barely there lines with FMU up until 21dpo. At that point, all of my tests were dark.
I’m hoping that this is your sticky bean 🤞🏻[emoji1317]!

[emoji254]Thank you Gender Dreaming for our precious little girl![emoji254]
Good morning ladies,
I hope it is ok if i join you. I'm in the waiting window. We are trying for a girl (or 2). We didn't do a ton of swaying because it was kind of a quick turn around. I just had my tubal ligation reversal on 10/3/2017, and we had to wait about a month to heal, so November is our very first attempt. I was good about my folic acid, but no prenatal vitamins. I know there weren't a lot of positive results on here, but we tried the soy isoflavens as natural clomid anyway. Just after surgery I didn't want to do much more than that because I didn't want anything to hinder my healing. Then, as luck would have it, I got sick just before our one attempt so I know I wasn't in best condition. I heard sub-optimal conditions sway pink, so here's hoping the flu was good for something.
Here's the interesting thing, and I'm trying not to obsess over it too much, but I don't usually feel when I ovulate. Maybe a little on the left, but not typically. The evening I got my positive OPK, I could feel something happening on both sides. I was in noticeable pain on both sides for several hours that night and again the following morning. Now I am 2.5 dpo and I woke up nauseous. It should be way to early to feel any of that, right? There's no way I implanted that fast so I'm not going to waste time on a HPT now, but I feel out of sorts. Anyone else feeling super early symptoms?
Good luck to all of you. Sending you lots of baby dust. :fx:
I am under a pretty firm impression that some people are more sensitive to hormones than others. I had nausea and aversions with my DD within days, felt her implant. There IS a hormone called EPF, early pregnancy factor, that begins producing immediately after conception. I have a feeing some women detect this, hence the potential early symptoms.Quote:

Also ty XX ♡ I'm almost mad at myself for doing this to myself again...
Mtolbert he is so GORGEOUS!!!
TP I don't have any advice but I just wanted to say I'm hoping and praying this is it for you, you gotta catch a break at some point right?!? xxx
ABC I think I'm more excited about you testing then I am myself lol
Good luck everyone fx we get some bfps soon because iys been pretty miserable lately!
Robin - thinking of you too fx fx fx
Thanks, I'm out. 11 dpo today and no bfp. Will try one more cycle with Clomid and then Moving onto ivf in Jan.Quote:

Now the big question - we're swaying pink and last DTD on Saturday (today is Monday). Do you reckon we're in with a good chance of BFP if we do Sat/Tues? Part of me wants to DTD again tonight to increase BFP chances but I know that's not pink friendly. Just worried Saturday is too far out? Any advice ladies?
TP I have no advice for you but I definitely wish you the best of luck xx
Sorry to hear you're out Robin, hopefully next cycle will be the one xx
I've read every study I can get my hands on about early pregnancy factor, and I think people have gotten way carried away with it. Basically EPF is an immunosuppressant that the newly fertilized egg emits so the body doesn't reject it. There's no evidence that EPF causes symptoms in any way. I'm not discounting anyone's symptoms, but I think we've all had cycles where we were sure that every twinge was pregnancy related. I even had round ligament pain this last cycle, which I only have had while pregnant!

Tp! My fmu were barely there with this pregnancy, but were visibly there with smu and tmu. Prayers!

Hi ladies! I'll be back later this morning to catch up properly when I have more time but just quickly wanted to say TP I really hope this is it. Maybe try testing this evening again?
Plasticserenity I definitely wouldn't attempt tonight if you're still wanting to sway pink. Your Saturday attempt may still have some chance and a 3-o and day of o attempts (if you bd Tuesday) will be far more pink friendly than a 3-o and 1-o.

Thank you. I'm going to, then give it until tomorrow before going off the progesterone. Midday tests were extremely faint, so this already looks like it will be another chemical.Quote:

If not, I hope the REs will have a solution to help maintain a pregnancy to term. The cells do meet and fertilise, every single cycle it seems, so there is bound to be something they can do to get the embryo make it to the further stages and stay strong :hugs:
Loads of baby dust to you all, whether you are in the TWW or at the beginning of your cycles!
Where is the best place in Australia to buy digital opk tests. I have looked in local chemist it’s nearly $41 and at chemist works is $38.19 for the 10 test clearblue

J-ellybean - I know it's so hard to resist testing even when you know it's too early! :)
Mummy - sorry you are still feeling bad!! Take care of yourself.
TP - FX crossed still that those lines darken!
Welcome, BZMallory!!
Aww thanks BBB!!! I got another BFN today and my temp is still down a bit - I have a strongly feeling today that this isn't our cycle. We'll see - I know it's still early. Your temp is rising really well!! How are you feeling about this cycle?
So sorry Robin. Huge hugs. It's not at all fair what you've had to go through!
Bluedreaming have you tried Amazon? I'm in the UK but the clear blue are much cheaper on there and they usually come in a day or two.
ABC I'm up and down with how I feel this time. Positive one minute then back to its not gonna happen the next. I don't know. I feel a bit like it's routine now, the whole sway thing has become so normal to me I don't even feel like I'm ttc anymore! I'd love to get that bfp by Christmas tho. I was due Christmas day with my loss before I had dd5 and it would be nice to have a break from certain things over the holidays.
Tests are still hanging in there but still faint. Called to get a beta and progesterone check but still feeiling no hope. 11DPO today (my LP is normally 11/12 days)
Big hugs TP, hoping for the best xxx
BBB - really hoping this is your month! I need a bfp before Christmas too for a few reasons - feels like there's a lot more pressure now (that I'm putting on myself, of course).
TP glad you're able to get bw done soon!
