I know this is very likely a negative result but it’s a little darker than a few days ago so am I likely to ovulate soon???

@Itsemily I’m youve managed it enough, I think I done it too much this month.. although I’m feeling offish but far too early for symptoms think it’s tiredness and stress!

I don’t think I ovulate always dead on 14 day’s before period..

Definitely gonna just use my cheapy opks.. xxx

@sunflower2019 that is a strong line actually , how weird ! Maybe you just have strong hormones ? I’ve just done another clear blue and it’s still a blank circle so I’m hand on heart not gonna bother now ! Not worth the stress , we will just keep DTD until AF is due . Gonna keep aiming for 2-3 days as DH working really long hours the next two weeks 😩 he wasn’t up for it last night as he got back late . I’d normally stress but because my OPK is messing up I’m not sure where I’m at in my fertile window . But AF finished last Friday and since then we have DTD Saturday and Monday, and will DTD every other day starting today so I’m sure we should hit the jackpot ? I’ve not had EWCM yet so I haven’t missed ovulation ...

Oh forgot to add the opk 😂 I know I’m not ovulating and it’s not positive but seems a strong line..

Hey girls, woke up super early this morning feeling crampy still.. not sure why! My and dp dtd last night.. whilst he watched football.. which was odd 😂
Anyway I decided to pee on an opk this morning as I gave up on those as missed my surge and got this... bit weird isn’t it!

Thanks for the kind message @Itsemily I know, I’m such a worrier! I hate it! How’s things going for you?

Xx

@Sunflower2019 try not to stress, it can have an effect on things like ovulation etc. For saying how much I overthink things, I have generally been really chilled out. My heart sinks a bit if DH stay sup late playing on his xbox , or goes to bed early but the last few days he has been the one making the first move which is nice!

It's hard with bills etc but it'll work out when your Husband gets paid. Try not to argue over the little things xxx

Well I’m super grumpy tonight 🤦🏽‍♀️ Dp gone to bed as we argued over the milk 😂 he’s eating more and using so much more milk since he’s started this job.. and we just flipped at each other! Think it’s tiredness... feel like I’ll never get pregnant because of the stress. I just find him such hard work sometimes 😐 I literally do everything in the house atm, paying all the bills until he gets his pay at his new job.. 🙄
Anyway rant over girls.. sorry xxx

Oh really.. well I’ve been drinking glasses and glasses of cranberry.. like a weird person 😂 must be dtd I said to dp I’m allergic to his semen, he didn’t look amused Confused
I know you are meant to pee straight after but I’ve been just falling asleep as it’s late. My dp is starting his new job so has to be asleep by 9 every night so going to be weird as he has to leave the house by 5am :/

How are you? @Itsemily thanks for the message on other thread! This has really stressed me out :(

GaaaaarlicBread · 28/10/2019 17:06

@Sunflower2019 oh no I hope you’re ok. I take cranberry pills most days now (dr has said they’re ok ), because when I first met DH I got UTI’s all the time and I was like it must be from DTD more often . Then they stopped coming When I took the pills . The I stopped taking them and didn’t have any infections for ages then when we started DTD every other day or so , I got another infection . First one in about a year. I highly recommend taking cranberry pills from Holland and barrett , they are amazing at preventing the infections . X

Yet again another UTI 😢 laying in the bath trying to relieve it.. not sure why I keep getting them, maybe it’s the constant dtd? Sure I use to have this much before tho!!

Think im very close to ovulation.. but I can’t pee enough to test 🤦🏽‍♀️ Xx

I know! I don’t feel anything really except some butterflies now haha.

Hmm maybe you surged but like right after you tested so the test missed it? X

@LazyDogFox I know it’s to surreal isn’t it.. I was like that when I found out I was pregnant with dd.. didn’t even feel pregnant!

It was flashing this morning and my opk was darker so was hoping it would be a solid smiley.. but I’ve just done another opk and about to check it.. I may try hold pee for 3/4 hours and do another clear blue as I’ve either missed it or it’s very close!!! Then I’ve got that whole dreaded tww 🙄 xxx

LazyDogFox · 27/10/2019 11:32

@sunflower2019 thank you lovely. I’m so shocked I genuinely thought I was out! I’m just so worried it won’t stick.

With regards to your flashing smiley how many days has that been? Have you been DTD anyway? I don’t really know how they work if I’m honest but I’m guessing flashing means you’re near peak ovulation? Xx

@LazyDogFox take one tomorrow fmu and go from there!

I’m still getting a flashing smiley! Just want a smiley that doesn’t flash now 😂

@eastview aah sorry, it’s always a little gutting at that stage but also nice to know your body is working as it should!

I have a feeling one of us will get a BFP very soon 🤞

Hey guys! AF came today! Disappointed but kind of happy that I'm getting more regular as it's pretty much bang on so that's good news! Fingers crossed for this month!

How you all getting on? X

LazyDogFox · 26/10/2019 11:54

That’s great @Sunflower2019 hope it stays for you!

Well I did two cheapie tests this morning, one at 6.45 and I thought I saw something like a shadow, did another at 9.15 and there’s still a pinkish shadow but I’m sure it’s just an indent in some dodgy tests. My boyfriend says he can’t see it so maybe it’s just my eyes!

Sunflower2019 · 26/10/2019 10:38

I’ve still got the flashing smiley this morning so that’s good news! I’ve normally ovulated by now if I’m going by my app and cheapy opks.. but hoping it is just my cycle trying to get back to normal! Just want the static now 😍

How are you girls?. X

@Itsemily ah wow! Yeah I guess I’m not out until
AF shows up but I just have a feeling. We will soon find out I suppose!

GaaaaarlicBread · 25/10/2019 20:05

@LazyDogFox it only takes the once! You could be in with a chance! My Auntie had sex once in a month (Exciting I know), wasn't trying for a baby , was on the pill , wasn't tracking ovulation or anything. She got pregnant!

LazyDogFox · 25/10/2019 20:02

@Sunflower2019 that’s great news about your smiley! I’ve recently bought some cheap OPKs as I just wanted to check I’m actually ovulating!

@Itsemily I sometimes get that with my period, it goes and then comes back for a few days. Hopefully it stops soon for you!

I’ve had PMS symptoms today. I’m due AF in 5 days so I’m bracing myself for that. Defo not my month to have conceived as we haven’t DTD enough I don’t think. I’ve felt very teary and anxious all day, hormones combined with stress of TTC are not good!
