Hberry - I am so so sorry. I know that kind of disappointment. It hits hard, and for me it lingers. Be gentle on yourself. Huge ((((hugs!))))

@alex I'm holding off on testing because I only have 1, so I'm trying to be patient.

8 dpo: Laying in bed this morning and I feel like I had ovulated on my right side and now I'm feeling little cramps on the right side. Nothing major, but almost annoying because it's just enough that I feel it. No pulling or pinching though.... I've been pretty calm the last few days and I haven't been having any major cravings or feeling like I have to eat everything in the house. It's kinda weird for me.

Hi Ladies. I’m on cycle day 17 here. Starting on the digital OPKs for the first time 5 days ago. Using the fmu I’ve been testing every morning since Wednesday and each day was a plain circle for Low Fertility. I took one this morning and it went to a Static Smiley for Peak Fertility. Which was great to see as I never truly knew when I ovulated every cycle . Don’t know why I didn’t take these tests before now ????

So for those of you who use them firstly is it ok to go from low fertility to peak fertility and miss the flashing smiley day(s)? Then secondly would you recommending we DTD for the next 2/3 days in a row just to make sure I got that Peak covered? Like when is ovulation likely to happen when you see the Peak. The test line was actually thicker than the control line on the test ???? Thanks guys.

@Sunny - sounds like you reach your peak within a day instead of gradually increasing, so for you it looks like it's important to be testing regularly until your peak is over. It's good to cover your bases and BD before the peak, but yes, important to get those BD's in when you do reach the peak.

@alex - I hope this medication works out for you!

Warning, possible TMI: Sitting here at 9dpo and we had a BD this morning and judging by the state of the sheets, I can't tell if I might've had IB or not. (Why didn't I choose different colored sheets?! Stupid white/tan color!) I checked myself after and everything looked clear. I don't feel PG and I cried this morning and I was so irritated with my bf last night because he was pestering me for a BD and I wasn't interested. Lol. What's wrong with me? No cramps or anything, but my feet are freezing despite being wrapped up in a robe and blanket.

I caved and tested early, and I think I can see the very beginnings of a vvvvvvvvvfl? Please snoop my profile to see pics and let me know your thoughts ladies. I've never tested this early in a bfp cycle so I don't know what I'm looking for when it comes to squinters if I am pregnant!

Sunny I’m not familiar at all with the digital opks but if I were you I would keep BDing just for sure.
Some women (like me) have a very short surge and their actual O day is the day of the peak. In that case you should have covered everything the days before. Most of women though have their peak 1 or even 2 days before O. Everything is so different for everyone that you just have to See and get used to a pattern. Hopefully you won’t need to and maybe this will be your lucky cycle!

Punk Don’t torture yourself babe with symptom spotting. We’ve seen before that our bodies can fool us by giving every symptom on the list and not pregnant. I know easier to say than done but unfortunately is the true. Try to keep yourself busy and in a few days hopefully you’ll have your bfp!

E I took a look at your test and I cannot see anything just yet but it is too early anyways. Sometimes CTP Is altering the quality of the pic and it doesn’t give any justice to what our eyes can see! I can’t wait to see how your test will be tomorrow

CD4. Yesterday was horrid with me having the runs all day. Told my husband I think I'm stressed to the max and that's why I'm not pregnant. He understands and feels horribly for me. I've synced up my ovulation day with my app to keep everything kosher for my sanity. I dont test for ovulation and I also don't temp. I just cover my basis. Otherwise nothing to report. Sigh

Captain's Log: 10dpo....no signs of life anywhere. We will continue searching...

@alex - I'm REALLY TRYING to hold out. We're going to be on curfew tonight from 6pm-6am....so not much to do except keep practicing making a baby! Lol.
