Popping back in to say hellooo and huge congrats @MrsR16 that's a stunner of a line.

My stats are age 31 and TTC cycle 2 but it's on hold until August post Zika country visit. Can't wait to be able to join in properly again but I do still play catch up so I can celebrate the bfps :) xx

MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 22:07

@orangeloo thank you darling! As far as your 21 day bloods go, I'd be tempted to call the docs and advise that you don't think you've o'd yet - see what they say! Xx

orangeloo · 17/04/2019 21:57

@MrsR16 congratulations!! Wonderful news and line! The things you were saying did sound promising.

Mega frustrated tonight. I'm CD 17 9th day of OPK and still no static smiley. It's worrying as I feel my luteal phase will be messed up with this late Ov and I'm supposed to have 21 day bloods next week. Do I keep it to 21 or adjust it to my week after Ov? Gah I'm annoyed. I'm finding BDing exhausting tbh could it have missed Ov? I just don't know

MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 21:54

@Marleym28 I'd be lying if I said I was an expert! I had given up this month - drank all I wanted, ate all I wanted, didn't time DTD, barely logged symptoms on any of my apps and lo and behold! 😊

Marleym28 · 17/04/2019 21:47

@MrsR16 congrats!!
You'll have to give us all your tips ;)

MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 21:28

@Tropicana1 @starkid @AysLon thank you!! I still don't quite believe it...

I'm gonna stick around here for a while longer if that's ok? You ladies have been my life for the last 9 months and I'm not ready to go away yet! 😘

MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 20:55

@ValidUser I think you're next!!! I have a feeling!

@LokiCat @dahlia123 @MrsEG @Lola871 @LikeTheFruit @Fivebyfive2 thank you all so much ladies! 😘😘

I literally started crying in the bathroom while DH was outside - it came up before the control line did! He heard me and thought I'd hurt myself so came running through the house and there was me holding my piss stick in one hand crying hysterically!!

Fivebyfive2 · 17/04/2019 20:47

MrsR16, I knew it!! Congratulations 😃 So happy for you!! Xxx

LikeTheFruit · 17/04/2019 20:45

@MrsR16 huge huge congratulations. That's a mega dark line, wonder just how many babies you've got in there!! Wishing you the very best.

Taken a similar approach to you this month and have done no OPKs, temping or planned sex. Flo says I'm 5dpo and Glow 6dpo but I only really started to get ewcm on Sunday so who knows!! It's out frost wedding anniversary next week and we're going to eat drink and be merry and will not poas!!

Lola871 · 17/04/2019 20:42

Woohoo!! Congratulations @MrsR16, so pleased for you!

MrsEG · 17/04/2019 20:40

@MrsR16 I knew it!! Congratulations xx

@dahlia123 @Lola871 thanks lovelies!! I will try!

Lola871 · 17/04/2019 19:49

Fingers crossed @MrsR16!!

dahlia123 · 17/04/2019 19:48

Thanks for the stats update @starkid

Fingers crossed that AF doesn't make an appearance @ValidUser

@MrsR16, I agree with @Tropicana1 - see if you can wait another day. Hope you get a BFP.

@AysLon - I've been using an Ava for nearly two cycles. I did a lot of reading before I bought as it's not a cheap thing. But decided that temping with a thermometer would stress me out as I work shifts, and may not even work. Also that I spend enough on Clear Blue flashy/smiley opks. I used my last ones this month and not going to buy any more.

Haven't got the result I want yet but would say it's been good for me as there's no need for alarms or waking up.

But more importantly, Clear Blue had my a peak fertile day about 5 days before I actually ovulated. With EWCM and the BBT chart from Ava I knew I hadn't, but I wouldn't have checked for EWCM iyswim.

Think my body geared up for O but it didn't happen.
Initially I had more faith in CB, but now I'm sticking with Ava as it consistently said I was going to O the date that it actually happened.

I'm currently 4dpo and symptom spotting like mad - feeling a bit crampy and hoping it's not cos I had an extra large burrito.

TLDR: Ava made me realise I was ovulating later than I thought, but I didn't get that info from CB OPK.

If it helps anyone, here's a code for £20 off.

MrsR16 · 17/04/2019 19:43

@ValidUser I have absolutely no idea! I didn't track at all this month, barely logged symptoms! Flo reckons I'm 14 dpo and Glow reckons I'm 13dpo!
