Anyone around 9 dpo?

Hi wondering if anyone is around 9dpo and wants to join me for the agonising wait? I'm trying to hold off from testing until at least 12dpo but it's so hard! I've never obsessed over something so much and I'm only on my 2nd cycle Sad

@sunshine1987 I know what you mean about OPK's especially when i seem to get faint lines throughout my whole cycle! I've just got a very positive OPK today on CD12. Feeling really positive about this month because my ewcm has arrived with my positive test, whereas last month it came a couple of days before then it had gone when I got my positive OPK. Fingers crossed!

@lavenderlove I find it works best for me. I get stressed out with OPK's if it doesn't go positive but with my temperature I find it picks up ovulation anyway so I don't worry about the lines not going darker etc. Sometimes I still use the OPK's and this month I've used the clear blue advanced but temping alone would work really well for me as well as CM

@Squ1ggle I think that's good advice from @sunshine1987. Could maybe buy some of the really cheap OPK's off amazon and I usually just use one around tea time from CD 9 or 10. If you're having sex a lot though you're probably going to catch ovulation anyway!

@sunshine1987 it is a minefield! How do you find temping? I might have to try it if this month fails

OP posts:
sunshine1987 · 15/08/2018 06:51

@Squ1ggle the simplest and less daunting/stressful bit I think is looking at your CM to start with. It tells you a lot about whether you're currently fertile etc. Won't cost money and is less stressful then peeing on a OPK every day and wondering why the line isn't getting darker and taking you temperature and wondering when it's going to rise high enough for ovulation!

Hi everyone, sorry for being awol for a bit. So sorry for those with AF arriving. Would be good to stick around and support each other through the next cycle. We're on cycle 2 now, still working on the basic assumption that if we have sex a lot it will happen but if it doesn't this month I suppose I'll have to stay thinking about charting things better. Any advice for a complete beginner who has never paid the slightest bit of notice to her cycles? I have the glow app but are there any other recommendations?

sunshine1987 · 14/08/2018 15:27

@lavenderlove haha I've got 3 apps too Blush I use NC only because i temp and it was for that reason. I find fertility friend the most useful though to be fair. It's all a bladdy minefeidl. I dunno how my friends fell preggo first cycle lo

@sunshine1987 I got my first positive OPK on CD12 last month but it was still positive on CD13. It was my first month using them so I'm not sure if everything will be the same this month. I have 3 apps and they are all predicting different days! I haven't got natural cycles though, would you recommend that one? And it's my first planned baby so I don't know what I'm doing either haha

OP posts:
sunshine1987 · 14/08/2018 10:59

@lavenderlove around day 15/16 though a few cycles ago I got a positive day 12 so I really don't know. Are you around the same? Natural cycles says I'm due to ovulate day 15 though so not sure at all this cycle. This is my first baby so I don't really know what I'm doing but been tracking for 6 months or so

@Thethreeandme definitely think you should treat yourself to a frer to do tomorrow morning if af doesn't arrive today!

Thethreeandme · 14/08/2018 10:20

@Akasia it's a joke isn't it lol mine's still up and down like a yoyo!!!
@lavenderlove nope it was 1.99 from bnm lol, I'm testing that much I'd bankrupt the family if I used frer or clear blue haha. I may need to upgrade for tomorrow though lol it's just so bizarre now I'm defo late regardless how long my cycle was . I'm going to fall out with my ovaries if I don't get a bfp this month!! Xx

@sunshine1987 no it's not bad at all, I was the same last night! Haha. I'll need to jump mine tonight, it's annoying though because my DS has been sleeping in until later in the mornings with it being school hols so he's not falling asleep until gone 9pm! At which time I'm pretty much ready for bed myself haha. I'm CD 10 today so need to start with the OPK's! What CD do you normally get your positive OPK?

OP posts:
sunshine1987 · 14/08/2018 09:46

@lavenderlove I'm at CD13 today, is it bad I'm looking forward to no sex tonight?! Haha, my poor husband, I basically had to jump him last night. How are you getting on? What day are you?

lavenderlove · 14/08/2018 09:38

@Akasia haha never mind! I doubt you would ovulate so early unless you have a very short cycle? Could you do today and tomorrow just to make sure? I got mixed up actually, I got my first positive OPK on CD 12 last month so that would be on Thursday. Don't know where you are in the country but could your temp dip be down to the generally dip in the temperature? Or does it not work like that haha

@sunshine1987 SMEP is quite hard work isn't it haha! What CD are you on?

@Thethreeandme well you're not out until af shows! What tests are you using, are they sensitive ones like a frer? X

OP posts:
sunshine1987 · 14/08/2018 08:52

@Akasia last night I had to explain again what dtd every other night meant.....SMEP is going well Hmm

Hijacking what you said to someone else, we missed day 8 too and I just started from day 10 onwards when I started with the OPK's too

Akasia · 14/08/2018 08:26

@sunshine1987 haha you made me giggle and you are so right, they can't handle the pressure.
@lavanderlove well I failed miserably - yesterday was cd 8 so should have started smep but fell asleep. Should I start from today instead or tomorrow? Not sure how it will affect me. I also had a big-ish temp dip yesterday so now I am worried that I have missed ovulation. Do you always get a positive opk so early in the cycle?
@thethreeandme I gave up on checking the cervix last month as mine was playing tricks on me and all. One day couldn't find it and oh the panick.. 😆 I know is difficult when you want something ao much, you can't help but find all kinds of symptoms. I really hope that bfn will become a bfp for you 💐

Thethreeandme · 14/08/2018 06:36

Haha thank you! Still no af today.. I took my last hpt and it was neg but I was sure I saw a very very faint line for a few minutes.. it's gone now though so possibly seeing things ha.. my body sure is having a good laugh out of this! Xx

@Thethreeandme I think af likes to mess you around when TTC! That's strange, did you confirm ovulation with tests? I've read that your body can attempt to ovulate twice in a month if the first hormone surge doesn't quite make it happen. I never understand the cervix thing as my app would ask me if it was 'soft, medium or hard' and it would feel the same every time!! And oh no you poor thing! You need a fridge stocked with cranberry juice at all times haha

Thethreeandme · 13/08/2018 18:07

@lavenderlove well lol.. I thought I had a 28 day cycle but was 2 days late last month.. but.. I've only been charting for 3 cycles so I may have 30 day cycles which would mean I was due today. But I'm so confused because I had ewcm on 28th. It's all over the place this month. My cervix keeps moving high then low then open then closed. It's changed about 4 tines today!!!! I only have one kidney now so I'm prone to them get them often lol.. I'm just not going to bother testing again and if af isn't here by Friday ill book Dr for Monday xx

@Akasia haha I know what you mean! I'm glad my first day was yesterday because I'm exhausted today. If It's anything like last month then I should get my positive OPK tomorrow or Wednesday. We've got such a busy week too so it's going to be hardSad

@Thethreeandme sorry you've got a uti, I bloody hate them things! And sorry about your BFN today, bless youSad was you due today or was it Sunday? X

OP posts:
Thethreeandme · 13/08/2018 12:57

Well.. I felt crampy so checked cervix and it's low and open again.. so to get rid of the nerves because I'm sick of disappointment I did a test.. big fat bfn 😔 not going to lie I feel devastated but at least I know now I'd of been more upset if I'd of woken up tomorrow thinking I must be pregnant to find out no.. on to the next month I suppose xx

Thethreeandme · 13/08/2018 12:11

I am seeing positive signs but I'm scared to test I can't bare seeing bfn now after all this. And I have a uti only mild but it's there so going to try and flush it out with loads of fluids before using the antibiotics.. bummer..
Good luck to you all.. or maybe good luck to your ohs lol.. lucky boys they will be haha .. it doesn't matter how many cycles ttc it's all relevant to ourselves xxx
