Thank you Hberry! I hope the fact that you felt it this time is a promising sign for this cycle!

AF showed up for me on Monday night which as usual was disheartening but on the up side I'm seeing some patterns now with my cycles now. I think I'll try some ovulation tests this cycle to help.

Im 6dpo today and woke up with a strong metallic taste in my mouth. And that's the only thing I really notice.

I'm between 5-7 dpo depending on if I go by OPK or temp. For the past 3 days or so I've had a slight pinching feeling, or more like a needle but not as sharp. It's kind of hard to explain. I get it for a few seconds 1-3 times a day. I usually only get a similar feeling, but way more intense, when AF arrives. Only time will tell if it's a good sign or not.

Good luck to everyone! I'm rooting for you all this month!

New here, but not new to ttc. My cycle started 6/3, I ovulated cd15. 12dpo got a faint positive. Today I’m 16dpo and the test line is only a little darker. I’m using the same test for all. Don’t you think by now the line would be really dark.

Good luck Hberry and Pandorica. I hope this is the month for the both of you!

Welcome Roadtoaster. Not much to offer but I would generally say if the line is still getting darker (even slightly) its still a positive sign. When will you be taking your next one? Please keep us posted on it.

Afm cd7 right now. First proper cycle pp so I'm hopeful for a return back to a 28 day cycle this month. Im going to cover all basis for a 28 day cycle and a 52 day cycle so fingers crossed.

Roadtoaster - From what I've read some brands may take longer time to show a stronger line. And not everyone get a dye stealer for example. As long as they're progressing/are the same and not getting lighter, that's good.

So ladies, I'm in shock. I took an early one yesterday and only saw a squinter so I brushed it off as maybe a faulty one or evap. I tested with a regular strip today and expected a squinter at best since I'm only 9 dpo and my test yesterday were almost non existent. But I got this! Now I pray it sticks this time! But I take it as a good sign it's this "dark" this early.

Pandorica: ahhh!!!! I hope it gets darker! Sending sticky vibes your way!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats amazing Pandorica! So happy for you! Sending sticky vibes also!

Thank you ladies. I really hope your sticky vibes works. I tested again today with the same brand as yesterday, an early one (similar to frer) and the digital. The digital said 'not pregnant' as expected, I kind of took a chance with that one. But I did honestly expected at least a stronger line on the early one, but that looked almost negative. The strip are definitely stronger and has never given me anything but a squinter at best before. So I don't think it's faulty. I'm going to order a new digital and a different brand of test just to double check before I can start to believe this.
