So my AF has arrived today but looking forward to having another go at TTC for a baby in November 2019.

Cycle: 4
Age: 34
CD: 1

Anyone else want to join in the same position as we try to get through this next cycle together?

@veeboo there's no way he can't see that!
Will probably test again first thing tomorrow and the af should be due Friday

veeboo · 27/02/2019 17:33

@BudgieBird there's no harm in doing two if you thi k you're close but I don't normally do more than that in a day.

@ale2992 that's positive! Your hubby will definitely see that. Remind me when your AF is due? Are you going to wait now until late?

ale2992 · 27/02/2019 17:06

So I caved (again) but why must frers come in packs of two it's just too tempting.
But look! Darker line!!!

Cheers @veeboo. I'm going to try to hold back and only use one OPK strip today...

veeboo · 27/02/2019 14:56

@BudgieBird I have 27-28 day cycles and I ovulate around day 15/16 with a 12 day luteal window so I don't think you need to worry. Hopefully peak comes soon.

I am 10dpo now waiting to see if AF arrives on Sat. No major cramps so far. I had some spotting yesterday but I've also got a water infection so think it might be that rather than implantation. I still don't think I'm going to test unless it's late.

ale2992 · 27/02/2019 12:39

I was strong this morning and didn't test going to get one after work tonight to test in the morning though.

BudgieBird · 27/02/2019 12:36

I'm going mad waiting for my LH surge. Last cycle was 27 days but I never caught a peak fertility reading with the Clearblue. Today is CD14 for me. Been having watery CM past few days. Figured I'd ovulate yesterday or today, but my cheapie OPK strips keep giving me negatives throughout the day and Clearblue was at high fertility again this morning. I know I'm over thinking it but I'm just terrified I'm not going to ovulate! DTD three of the past four days...might as well do it again tonight but it's becoming a bit of a chore!

PyjamasForever · 27/02/2019 09:49

@ale2992 I see a line in the second and third pics! Fingers crossed this is it for you and the line keeps getting darker. You'll have to keep us posted.

I think I ovulated on CD11 (ewcm, pelvic pains and general hormonal feeling), but still trying to dtd every other day until AF or BFP. Exhausting.

Thinking of trying OPKs next cycle so I better know when I've ovulated. Is it worth trying with internet cheapies or is there no point?

Pinkelephant12 · 27/02/2019 09:41

Hi ladies can I join?!

TTC #1
Cycle 5
CD 18/1DPO

Finally got my first positive OPK 2 days ago 5 days later than last month, actually thought it was never going to happen. Think OH was relieved two after 9 days straight dtd (although I am going to try for tonight for luck 😂).

I so hope it happens this month, my DSS and GF are getting their dating scan this week so will be announcing to the rest of the family along with scan pictures being everywhere I just don’t know if I can take another disappointment and put on a brave face again 😫

Chanel05 · 27/02/2019 09:24

@WildFlower2019 oh lord no! We dtd every other day for two weeks and then a bonus 2 in a row. I feel well and truly done though!!! I use soy isoflavones and I think it delayed my ovulation so I won’t use them agsin(hopefully I won’t need to!)

Did you do a cheeky test this morning?

Peachyx2505 · 27/02/2019 01:05

@ale2992 I can see it on all three pics, without squinting and I'm on my 4th night shift in 6 days!!! Fingers crossed it gets darker 🤞💕

No update here.... still not ov'd yet. Should do over the weekend/Monday 🤞🤞

Zarara · 26/02/2019 21:27

@ale2992 I can see it in the middle pic!

@mrsp4 sorry about af

I’m 7dpo today going to test on Thursday at 9dpo

stitchwitch84 · 26/02/2019 18:39

@ale2992 I can see it! How exciting!

I'm going mad with suspense. 12dpo, period due today and I have all the symptoms I had back when I was pregnant in Nov - feeling nauseous, headachy, extra-sore boobs, weird sense of smell and oddly off my food (hungry but the idea of food turns me off!). Basically I feel pregnant again! But BFN yesterday, and since I miscarried before I'm too highly aware of the risks of early pregnancy loss to get excited…but I want to know!!! Going to resist testing until Thursday to avoid further disappointment - by then either AF will show up or a line will!

So frustrating waiting, though!

veeboo · 26/02/2019 17:59

@ale2992 no not just you! could you maybe wait again til Friday and hopefully get a clearer line?

ale2992 · 26/02/2019 17:38

@veeboo Yes! Can't just be my line eyes then!?

veeboo · 26/02/2019 17:32

@ale2992 I can see it! @WildFlower2019 looks like you've done all you can there! X

ale2992 · 26/02/2019 17:05

@WildFlower2019 I love you for saying that!!

WildFlower2019 · 26/02/2019 16:59

@wildflower2019

Did you dtd every day when you got a static smiley face on the opk or when you had a flashing smiley face?

WildFlower2019 · 26/02/2019 15:06

Hi everyone,

@MrsP4 Sorry to hear AF came. Happy Birthday, I hope you have something nice planned x

@ale2992 I do hope it’s the start of a BFP for you. Let us know when you next test!

@chanel05 YOU DTD EVERY DAY FOR 2 WEEKS?!!!! After DTD every other day for a few days and then a couple of days on the trot my DH and I were both DONE. haha. You both deserve a medal! Have you come to a conclusion on what’s going on? Do you think you’ve ovulated twice? If

@SuziQ10 @VixFitz advice is that every other day is sufficient. Unless your DH has a sperm-related problem, DTD every day is OK but it only results in a slightly higher chance of conceiving than DTD every other day. (37% vs 33%). They have all the stats in this study by The American Society for Reproductive Medicine here: www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(13)00790-5/fulltext#sec2

My update is that I think I’m 6dpo today judging by cramps/spotting and CB digital OPKS. My apps think I'm 5dpo.

I’ve had a few sharp shooting pains and really sore nipples today, but experience over the last few months have taught me that symptoms can mean everything and nothing, haha. So I won’t be reading anything into it.

Not sure when to test. Logically, I should start at the weekend when I'm around 10/11dpo. However, I know I'm a POAS addict and will start tomorrow morning with some cheapies.

dragonmummy17 · 26/02/2019 11:47

@MrsP4 sorry AF came.
@ale2992 fingers crossed you get a darker line next time
I got a peak opk yesterday so now in tww. We dtd every day. We only missed the first day with the flashing smiley as DH was out

If I got the peak opk last night does today count as 1dpo? AF is going to be due earlier now... I think 10th March

Peachyx2505 · 26/02/2019 11:32

Keeping everything crossed for you xx

ale2992 · 26/02/2019 10:53

@Peachyx2505 No unfortunately not I didn't have time to take a decent one before rushing off to work. I doubt it would have shown in a photo though

Peachyx2505 · 26/02/2019 10:51

Sorry af came MrsP xx

Any pics Ale2992? Xx
