It’s a complicated thing. I’ve been on here since 2014 and agree it’s less active than it was back then. Just depends. People get weird about voting for obviously positive pregnancy tests. Usually people post positive tests as unsure because it’s a shock, especially when they’ve been waiting for a long time or they’ve heard certain tests give evaps, etc. Some obviously positive tests get negative votes because it can be hard to see others getting BFPs or blazing positive OPKs when one is seriously struggling. Silly, I know, but TTC is such a sensitive thing. The format of the site has also changed and is a huge turn-off to some who used to post all the time. IDK what to say, but I do see some threads with groups for TTC summer babies 2020, etc. maybe post on there? It looks like a lot of ladies are posting on those threads and in the same boat. Good luck to you!!!

I found the most interaction on this site by posting in the TTC boards when I first started TTC. Month after month some women would get their BFPs and leave the site while others kept trying and moved on to the next ttc board. While it was hard to keep trying every month I also got to know those ladies who were trying as well and grew to know and care about them. I still talk with them and we have a few threads that sometimes get action on them.
I recommend trying out those boards. I'll be back on them in a few months.

If you got your positive opk on CD 18, ovulation usually happens within 24-36 hours or so. The pinches could have been ovulation pain. Since implantation doesn’t happen until about 6 dpo (average is about 9 dpo, but it can happen as late as 13 dpo or so. There are probably exceptions, but this is what everything I’ve read says). So it’s possible you conceived, but you’ll get negative hpts until after implantation occurs. Once implantation happens, hcg is produced, and that’s the hormone that pregnancy tests detect. The earliest positive urine pregnancy test I’ve gotten was at 8dpo. So if you ovulated somewhere between 18 and 20 dpo, your test won’t show a positive until at least a week later. Fertility Friend says 12dpo is average for the first day of a positive pregnancy test. So anyway, the wait is on! Feelings of heaviness have been good signs for me. So hopefully you’ll get some good news soon!!
