Isn't it confusing becci you get your hopes but then bam the witch comes for a visit!

Newbie here wishing Ovia would tell me I'm pretty. Instead it tells me I might be pregnant on the day AF arrives. Ok I might have been over symptom spotting and feeding it fibs but I've still not forgiven it.

My stats: ttc#1, cycle 2, cd 1, etd 6th feb.

loula you can be super fertile in the first two weeks after coming off the pill so if you have been dtd you could just be...I'd be poas just in case.

becciilouisex · 07/01/2016 17:59

LittleBelle90 I've been exactly like that! Since I've started TTC, every month I think there's a change I've conceived because I have symptoms that I don't usually get in the run up to or during my period and every month they're different! Really odd and confusing!

I'm still defying ovia and everyone here and not testing, it's been telling me to for over a week! But Im going off two different possible ovulation timetables and I entered the first lh surge as an ovulate so I knew where I was up to. 2nd possible ovulation and I'm only 9 dpo, just thankful af is due next week so the wait is nearly over!

But I completely agree, it encourages the hysteria! "You reported feeling weepy and impatient, it could be a baby!" No shit ovia, it could also be my uterus preparing for a clear out!

I've just started using Ovia and I love it! But it's yet to tell me I'm pretty, does congratulate me on shagging though hahahan & congrats on your BFP!!! x

firstgo1984 · 07/01/2016 17:51

i think i got ovia once then deleted it!

LittleBelle90 · 07/01/2016 17:48

Thanks kat im getting lost with everyone too!

AF is due Sunday but I did a one step preg test yesterday morning with fmu and got a bfn. It's been roughly 14 days since I ovulated so thought it would have shown up if I was upduffed. However my boobs this month are so sore, even today at work when I was holding a dog I was in pain because it was pressing on them! But I've had different symptoms every time on the run up to AF.

starky my DH has been researching too about sperm and finding all sorts out, he's worried the problem lies with him which I very much doubt.

Good luck for tomorow choc

Ni4444 · 07/01/2016 17:43

Stark Skip Im also thinking Ovia has a big role to play in the tww hysteria "ooh you felt something? You might be Pregnant!" "You have Cm? Oh this could be it!!" "ooh it's gonna be time to test soon!!" (even though it tells you not to test until 5 days time! No shit Sherlock! Shut up egging me on!!

Mileymoocow · 07/01/2016 17:42

Ok feeling a little bit shitty that ovia doesn't tell me I'm pretty. Apparently I'm a top shagger tho! 👍 and not to worry about my farting.

Loulabelle1990 · 07/01/2016 17:35

Congrats for all the BFP's! It's nice to have some good news.

I am getting really confused now. I stopped cerazette on 6th December so I am now on like CD33 and haven't had any bleed at all so can't track when I am ovulating, but the last couple of days I have had EWCM so not sure if this means I have potentially ovulated? I didn't have anything before this and today there doesn't seem as much! If AF hasn't turned up in a couple of weeks do you think I should do a preg test?

I am trying to be cool about the whole ttc thing but it's totally not working haha!!

ni do you remember my utter nervous breakdown when I added a symptom in last month and ovia completely changed my fertile week? It was mental carnage! I couldn't work it out! The horror! Grin and then you're like "well, ovia....give me a handy hint!? Tell me I'm looking lovely today!? Congratulate me on having sex?! Anything?" or is that just me

It's like 'hey Ovia I drank 9 glasses of water and had some cheese - am I pregnant??'

FXSkip · 07/01/2016 17:23

Thank you Stark and Firstgo - NI444 I know right??? Tell me something new already!!!

Ni4444 · 07/01/2016 17:17

Is there anything like that moment of hopefulness/ frustration/ impatience when waiting for Ovia to update its commentary after you've entered a new symptom?!

firstgo1984 · 07/01/2016 17:03

I've decided my CM is actually that watery and my cervix not actually that high.

I think I am just impatient to ovulate and imagining things. Plus I got a bit excited when my opk was almost positive, but then dried looking far from it.

And furthermore, I never thought I'd be interested in the cervical mucus of OTHERS!

Dh has decided/accepted that his sperm is not that of a 21 year old at the height of virility. He is researching clomid, fuck knows how he stumbled upon that. He's listening to something via earphones about sperm production and keeps going "ooooh in a high pitched way....Well, I didn't know that!" I sense he is about to become the house expert on sperm production. His voice has the whiff of a man about to undertake a personal learning mission about it. He is going to become obsessed with his balls.

lara and ni I can honestly say, I never thought I'd be examining my fanny juice for levels of viscosity and translucency.

LaraG13 · 07/01/2016 16:42

Welcome newbies!

Interested in the point you raise about diminishing CM as we age, Ni. Does anyone else worry that they don't produce enough CM, especially EWCM. Never in a million years thought I'd be monitoring the moistness of my fanny so closely Smile

I don't have an issue with arousal moisture if you take my meaning, so don't need a lube. I've read about Preseed but thought it was just a sperm friendly lube, rather than doing the job of EWCM. Also I think it does has a detrimental affect on sperm from what I've read, but only a slight one. Any mucus and/or lube experts in the house? Hmm

thinking I'd be super chilled about it. Then immediately began obsessing

Ahaaaaa, just four short weeks ago I also thought I would be blaze and nonchalant about ttc, the madness comes to us all! Grin and it really is a mind bender! Welcome skip . I've found one of the most irritating thing to be 'nothing to track' on ovia! Be a use if you've got nothing to track, you've nothing to go on! Grin Why is my body doing this?! No answers!

firstgo1984 · 07/01/2016 16:19

FX it's hard not to get impatient for AF to come. I had a 77 day cycle last time (stopped Microgynon in May). My other cycles have been 33-49 days so far.
Hoping they will settle down soon!
