@Michellebops my understanding is that the tests pick up your expected LH surge. Meaning you are just about to ovulate (12-36 hours I think after your smiley face) therefore the test would be neg after that because the LH surge was already detected...meaning you dtd that day and day after so that the sperm catch the egg while it is viable....as the sperm can live a few days but once the egg is released it doesn't last long at all...if that makes sense.

Help!

Got a smiley opk on clearblue on Thursday evening.

Friday night was negative

Aware of increase cm but would say it was ewcm.
Lower abdominal pain Friday night/Saturday morning so assumed that was me actually ovulating

This afternoon I now have lots of ewcm along with lower cramps.

Does this mean I am ovulating now? Or could it have been Friday night/Saturday morning.

Hey @Loti92 welcome. We are all in the same boat here. I'm not really one for posting but I'm getting better at it as I find it nice to speak to others going through the same thing with the same goal in sight 🤰🏻 good luck to you this cycle 😘

My cycles are normally 24days, but the longest has been 26days and that hasn't happened in a long time. If it was a 26day cycle I should have had a positive OPK today?m, but it's very negative !

Are you every late on ovulating? @Broodyaf

I'm still cramping @Bab1990 I have zero energy too and just want to sleep. This is not like me at all!! I'm hopeful but also it could just be I'm run down. How are you today?

Morning ladies and welcome newbies.

It's CD12 here and I normally ovulate CD10 but going by OPKs I still haven't ovulated??
Maybe no egg released this month? 🤷‍♀️

Bab1990 · 24/03/2019 11:11

Morning ladies. How are you feeling @Proudmummy88 Cramping stopped during the night. Couldn’t help myself and googled cramping at 5dpo🙈 And got very excited when it said it could be early implantation! I must stay off google!! Might do some baking to keep me off google haha. Xx

Navy123 · 24/03/2019 07:20

Welcome Loti92 - sorry to hear about your mc. You're in good company here though, I think lots of us have gone through it! Fingers crossed for you.

Really wish I knew when I ovd this month, it's so unusual that I have no idea! Really don't want to go down the opk route again (mainly because I never get to pee alone any more!) but I may have to next month. How am I meant to symptom spot?!

Bab1990 · 23/03/2019 22:09

@deathbycats lol I know. It is impossible. Although I feel a lot more prepared this month some how. I think I just convinced myself so much last few that I was preg just to get period after all that hope built up. This month really just need to see. No plans on testing until day after due. (Mibby 😉) 😘😘

Fingers crossed Bab1990 and Proudmummy88. 2-3dpo today and I've been getting the odd crampy feeling, and my boobs are still really heavy/tender. Trying so hard to take my mind off the TWW, and it's clearly not working too well!

Christmas babies all round ladies. Fingers crossed for you all. I really am not trying to symptom spot but I have been having awful cramps all day...I am 6dpo now and this makes me think it's a bad sign for what's to come Sad

I'm on the bus!
TTC baby number 1
Age 34
Second cycle
CD 10

I only went off birth control three months ago after being on it more than half my life. Since then, I've been charting and my luteal phases seem short even though my cycles have been regular at 27-28 days. Plus my temperatures and CM are all over the shop! I'm trying not to over-think all this because I have a tendency to do that...but I would like a 2019 baby.

Peachyx2505 · 23/03/2019 12:49

@thosethreewords that was my ds's due date by my calculations 😍 then we're told 21st, then at the scan 17th and the lil monkey arrived quickly on the 3rd!

If we catch this month then my edd will be 26th 😍

thosethreewords · 23/03/2019 11:35

And as if to solidify my craziness, I calculated the EDD if I conceived this cycle - Christmas Eve 🎄 come on sperm!! Come on eggs!!!!

thosethreewords · 23/03/2019 11:28

@Nattx I hope April is your month! That would be a great present! My birthday is in May and I keep clinging onto the best present for me which would be an early scan to see our baby if we conceived this month!

Nattx · 22/03/2019 23:40

Hi, just jumping on the bus!😊

Age 24
TTC #1
Cycle 1 (since ovarian drilling)
CD 5
AF/BFP 16th April

April is also my birthday month so I'm praying for the best birthday present I could ever ask for/want, our little miracle! 🙏🎁👶
