October Bus - More treats than tricks please!

@Fia256 could it be that the last test you've ovulated as shown by the temp rise, but with the test, you've happened to take it whilst there's still a high surge (so it's high enough to be picked up but it'll come down as of now).

Sorry I only use opk >_

I’m confused this morning 🤔

Got my first positive opk Monday afternoon (using amazon cheapies). Did two more yesterday morning and afternoon, still positive. Also a temp dip yesterday. Then this morning, temp has risen by .3 which it usually does post ovulation, but I still have a very clear positive opk 🤔

No idea what’s going on!

Thanks @felicityheather glad it’s not just me

@CherryVicky29 I quite often notice that actually. Particularly a day before.

Anyone else had EWCM with AF? I'm not sure if this is normal or not lol

@PabloEscobarlo I use OvaGraph it's a purple icon with TCOYF in it (from the taking charge of your fertility book) that's what I read so originally used to chart with. Some pros some cons as with most I assume

@meow1989 I'd say the spa sounds like a great idea! Wouldn't worry before ovulation!

It's so strange because for years on the Pill I was convinced that if I missed a single pill I'd get pregnant. Now having unprotected sex for 2 months and nothing seems so strange!!

@mama I've had ewcm on CD10 before now, but my cycles are only 25 days. This might sound a bit ick but are you sure it's you and not some of his, ahem, leftovers? I've def made that mistake before now! 😂

Hi everyone!

I have CM question!!
I had alot of ewcm on cycle day 9 on a regular 30 day cycle. Surely I am not ovulating now? My period only stopped on cd4.

Anyone else had this?

@Fia256 I'm in the TWW I think it started today (or yesterday but we had a shag last night for luck)

@HolyShmoly haha! I too am cursed blessed with large hips (and bum - thanks mum!) surely after finding it impossible to find trousers that don't gape at the back and giving up on ever finding a dress that fits for so many years means we should get up the duff without any issues right? That should be the trade off dammit!

I'll be testing in October again. Last month I was 10 days late with 2 negative tests before AF came on CD40. My ovulation has been alllll over the place according to my app (using BBT plus OPKs). Sometimes day 12, other times day 25. Not trying per se but letting nature take its course if it's going to. OH has a high sex drive so there's no need to know specific O days anyway.

Meggi the pill is usually out of your system within a couple of days x

Hi all not been on since the thread started, got my positive opk last night so I'm officially back in the game again anyone else entering the 2WW yet or near abouts?!

🤞🏻🍀

Fingers crossed then! I'm trying to yell myself how unlikely it is to happen this month, especially given that we only caught the tail end of my fertile week, but it's hard not to hope.

Ewcm is the most fertile so definitely a great time to dtd!

Thanks. So (very new at this!) does EWCM mean that it's a good time to DTD? Hoping so as that's what I had this weekend and we DTD three times, but it's dried up now. I use Clue which is pretty accurate in predicting AF so hopefully it's also good for ovulation. It's only our first cycle so not sure I want to get into OPKs and temping just yet.

Can I hop on board.. have had to hop off the Septmeber bus after AF arrived a day early today.

Ttc #3 (#1 born sleeping)
Cycle 2
Age 40 😣 (when did that happen).

Used opks last month but goong to try temping this time too.

@felicityheather can I ask what app that is please?

It's just not right is it? I'm like: you have one job! (Absolutely no offence meant to anyone who has been trying for a while, I know things take time and I am for the most part joking).

What do people think about spa treatments whilst ttc? I have a weekend coming up and I think fertile window will start the Monday following the Saturday I'm away (hope that makes sense) so I'm hoping you'll all say it's fine to have a drinkie and soak in the hot tub as I won't even have ovulated and I'm being ridiculous to worry 😅

@meow1989 I felt the same in cycle 1. My actual thought was "wtf womb?!"
Cycle 2 I was very "meh" about it all.

This time with hardcore peeing on opks and getting dh more involved and shagging a lot more I've already convinced myself that I've done enough this month so I'll probably be properly gutted when AF turns up in a couple of weeks time.

Trying not happening

@CoffeeWithMyOxygen egg white cervical mucus 👍🏻

Af has just arrived so bfp due 21 oct. I am quite frankly outraged that first cycle of happening I did not just become pregnant no issues (tongue in cheek... mostly)!

What is EWCM? I see it mentioned a lot.
