@dianeiris I have some cheapies that I've gotten close to dark lines on in previous regular cycles and this month I even splurged on the first response tests. I got faint lines about 20 days apart with no temp spike. There's another grocery store brand that I got positive dark lines on a couple of years ago when I thought I could use opks to avoid pregnancy.... And wound up pregnant lol I seriously roll my eyes at myself for that. I had a MMC though so we waited until now to try again. I'm going to get that brand again maybe. Thanks for the advice! I like temping so much better because it seems more reliable but you don't get a heads up before O. Hope this is it for you!

@Anna light bleeding at 6 dpo is such a great sign!! Hope this is your month!!!
I’m 9 dpo today and had a stuffy nose this morning which was my very first symptom 2 cycles ago and went on to getting faint positive hpts at 11 dpo (ended up in a CP though). I also have an increased sense of smell and feel like all my food taste stronger than usual. Those are all very relative « symptoms » though so it could all be in my head. Started testing last night (8 dpo) and got a BFN

@itsanna looks like it could be! 6dpo its definitely possible.

@agatch strong sense of smell is promising! It's still early so hopefully you get your bfp soon!

Would you ladies say the last one is a positive opk?

@dianeiris I would say it's very close but still negative... That's the darkest my opks also got this month but I think I missed my surge so just test again in a few hours and I'm sure it'll be positive

@dianeiris Thank you! I got one just like yours one night this cycle and the next morning was a clear positive

Okay 7dpo today and this morning when I woke up with SO I felt fine and checked no more spotting... Went back to bed when he left and when I got up an hour later I was instantly light headed and felt crappy... Went to the bathroom and I had spots on my underwear again? Nothing on the toilet paper, nothing on my cervix just on my underwear... I checked externally as well and I'm not bleeding anywhere so it is coming from inside... WTF???

Will post a picture on my profile again if anyone wants to check it out

@itsanna I read that implantation bleeding could be for one day and sometimes could be for a few days. So it could be IB!

I finally got my positive opk!! All this time I assumed I ovulated on day 14 of my 28 day cycle but I actually ovulate around day 18. Last cycle we stopped bding after day 14 thinking the egg was already released. Hopefully we get it right this time.

@anna that's crazy, maybe it was just the last of the potential IB that came out while you were sleeping?

I got dotted CHs on FF this morning showing that I ovulated the same time I was getting those faint opk lines. But I'm hesitant to trust it. For one, I don't have many temps because I wasnt going to temp this cycle until I got annoyed by how long it has lasted. Second, it doesn't seem like a big enough shift. I also decided to try temping vaginally from here on out and the temps are much more consistent but I don't have any frame of reference for where they might be pre O and post O. Just interesting, not getting my hopes up but going to keep temping. Also, it doesn't change whether I disregard that one high temp or not.
