Or maybe tomorrow lol... Did Opk yesterday morning, almost positive second line and flashing smilely. Yesterday evening solid smiley and strong positive on IC. This morning second line feinter and defo not as strong. Bbt dip yesterday and significant rise today. So I am thinking today is O day. Do you agree? Or can u get positive Opk and not ov for a couple of days? If that were the case, would it have gotten feinter this morning? Bd'd the last two days and will again tonight. Here's hoping!!! Who else is out there?

Yes please do! I'm relatively new too but have been reading theses boards and doing lots of research for the last couple months. Is this going to be your first baby?

Hello becky and pinacolada, welcome! We are all literally days within each other, that's cool. I took another Opk just now and there was still a second line but defo less than control line. My blazing positive was last night, so when do u think ovulation will happen or has it happened already? Had a temp rise this morning. Should we BD again tonight? I'm exhausted lol

My blazing positive was Sunday! Was a really strong line but then I had really sharp pains in my left lower abdomen (really strong) so I think I must have had the positive surge and then ovulation was probably yesterday. I'm ruined from all the BD'ing haha Grin
Feel weird in lower tummy today, full and heavy. Not comfy!

Weirdly I had really strong OV pains last week for like 3/4 days straight. But completely negative OPKs. We BD then just in case too ha. Some of these feelings I think I have never had before but I just don't know if I never paid attention before or felt it, but was just like oh that's a funny pain and then ignored it cos I wasn't paying attention to my cycle and therefore didn't link it to ovulation... Who knows. Last month I felt I had lots of pregnancy symptoms so I am trying to ignore them and not think about it at all! Last time I was pregnant (ended in MC) I had zero symptoms but googled symptoms because I had a funny metal taste! Was so shocked. We wanted to be pregnant but we weren't exactly "trying" (like Opk, temping etc). Is this ur first month?

This is our first 'proper' month I guess. Had my implant out on 13th Nov but didn't get a period untill 12 Jan so this seems our first proper go at it. I'm 35 now so hoping it doesn't take too long but I'm possibly being naive! Lol. Hmm I do suspect pcos but doctor refused to test for that untill I've been trying six months Confused

@beckya82 I'm 34 so only just behind you. I would say this is our first proper month too. First time happened so easily. Last month did opk etc but AF was still out of whack so hopefully this month is first normal month when I can say we are officially trying and have some potential! Had 2nd temp rise this morning so now defo think ovulation was yesterday. Exciting! When will u test?

Really similar situation here, had a positive opk on Monday afternoon! Apparently once the surge is detected, ovulation can be between 12 and 36 hours later so could be a couple of days. The only way to know for sure if temping (which seems a huge faff). I find ewcm the best indicator so start dtd when I get a positive opk and keep going until ewcm stops!

@SophieStripe my hubby wants to test on Valentine's Day! What a killer!!! I'm in quite a lot of discomfort tho tbh. Bad cramps in my lower abdomen constantly and it's weirding me out. I though ovulation was done and dusted and thinking 'I can't still be cramping from that can I?!'
When are you all deciding to test??

I'm exactly the same as you OP! Nearly + yesterday morning with bbt dip, strong + yesterday evening and bbt rise today. Looks like I ovulated yesterday. This is month 7 for us and first month I've charted properly.

When are you expecting AF?

Starting 2ww today!

@monkeytoucher exactly the same as when I got my positive on opk! I don't know for sure whether I have ovulated or not. Thought I had but still lots of EWCM... sorry... Lol. So more BD tonight just incase. My husband was too tired last night (WTF?! I have to pee on sticks twice a day and wake up at 6.15am to take my temp and you are TOO TIRED?! lol its okay I love him really). We BD on CD 10, 12, 13 and will today, 15. Is that okay do u think??? @biscaytrafalgarfitzroy that graph looks like it could defo be ovulation, my temp rise is no where near that much! Confused I don't know what is normal for me yet though... I should be due AF on 13th FEB. TRYING hard not to take any tests until 14th, or until AF shows... How about you? @beckya82 I'm not sure what those cramps could be? Do u normally get them? Or now you are TTC are u just noticing EVERYTHING? Last month I was convinced we had done it with all the "symptoms" I had. Really trying hard not to symptom sit this month. I think until doesn't arrive it means nothing!!

I really hope that's a good sign for you Kirstylee95. Will keep my fingers crossed.

I ovulated some time this past week; I think within the last 3 days. I'm not doing any testing to see when ovulation is yet; I may start after a few cycles as I'll know my body a bit better by then. Just trying to do the baby dance regularly and hope for the best at the moment. Had the good kind of cm yesterday. Does that stop immediately after you're not in your fertile time anymore or can it take a few days, does anyone know?

MonkeyToucher · 31/01/2018 20:20

sophiestripe sounds like you’ve done it plenty so fingers crossed. I assume I’ve ov’d now as cm has become a bit lotiony, but who knows!?

I really wish I’d written down what cm etc I had when I got my bfp last time around!

Good luck everyone, hope this thread is a lucky one. We have tried our hardest this month (this is cycle 9) so I am going to be gutted if AF arrives. Time is dragging!

SophieStripe · 01/02/2018 09:23

This is defo gonna be a lucky thread I can feel it! Kirstylee not sure what that could be? Perhaps ovulation or implantation?? But seems a little early for implantation... Do u normally spot mid cycle?? This morning I had a big temp rise so FF app recognised ovulation and today is officially 3DPO. Whoop! Anyone would think I was actually pregnant how excited I am by this haha. Little things... Time is defo dragging though I totally agree! I am NOT going to symptom spot!!

@SophieStripe I have no idea either it's very strange I don't normally have this type of thing so it's all new and odd to me but only time will tell good luck to everyone

That's the hardest thing though isn't it... Only time will tell! Sometimes I wish I had a fast forward button. Today I would Press FF to Feb 14th. I would get a positive pregnant test and then press FF to week 13!!

I got my peak fertility (static smiley face) yesterday on my CB digi so I guess ovulation is officially today/tomorrow...in any case my 2ww has begun. Going to give it one more go tonight I think - how many days after ovulation do you continue to BD?
