TWW - testing 4th September

@Blossomingflower94 Thank you for the support! 😊 Ooh definitely if you ovulated on Sunday you should still have pretty good chances from DTD Friday before. Got everything crossed for you!

@Jojowash Aww how lovely, that is one good blob ❤️

6 weeks scan today. Saw heartbeat and little blob x x

Flashing smiley reported! 😊 It is definitely reassuring to see that my body is doing what it's supposed to be doing 😊

@Blossomingflower94 Thanks lovely! Yes we'll still DTD every other day if it feels right, I wouldn't want my OH to feel like I'm only interested in him in my feetile window either way. I've noticed that I'm fairly energised for a Monday evening so maybe my estrogen levels are finally picking up 😊

The opposite shifts have to be tough! Fingers crossed for next month - though I wouldn't give up on this one yet, it seems a lot of people end up conceiving when they least expect it 😊

Blossomingflower94 I think we are exactly synchronised!!

@Blossomingflower94 Sorry to hear that, what timing! I guess things happen the way they're supposed to ☹️ Still not entirely impossible that you could get pregnant if you ovulate today, Friday 13th could be doing its magic! It's not out of the question for sperm to survive for 3 days (I know the 5 days sounds like much but 3 is not impossible).

I've still not even had a flashing, CD12 now. I don't like how the OPKs make me think (thoughts like "no point having sex today") so I don't think I'll be doing them again next month.

@Blossomingflower94
They really are aren't they, I didn't have the heart to buy anymore after I ran out so I resorted to boots ovulation sticks and was really pleased with them and found them really consistent.
So if your surge was this aft then you're actual ovulation will be anytime from now up until the next 36 hours so you could well be in with a shot! If you go by the smep (which I did last month) they say to dtd everyday after surge for 3 days, miss a day a then the following day, so there must be a chance you can still get pregnant all that time after! If you ovulate straight away you definitely have a shot from Friday!
I know it isn't ideal, but I would say you still have a shot :)

I'm feeling ok thank you apart from being super tired and ratty as hell, haha! I'm about 5 weeks now so it's still so early and I still don't believe it! Today/yesterday I've had a few sickly moments but I've also got a cold so I don't know what's associated to what really 🙈

@Blossomingflower94 hi lovely! I had the CB tests the other month and I too took it apart to see the strip behind it. The lines were randomly darker and lighter all the time and I looked into it and apparently they don't really mean anything and you should only look at the face as the strips don't work like other dip tests. You might not be out as remember a positive means that you're going to ovulate 12-36 hours later which would take you to Tuesday anyway :) keep testing if you can or pick up some cheapies if you run out! You may still have a shot! X

@Blossomingflower94 Fingers crossed for you! Did you try to do the OPK in the the afternoon too? It does say on the CB ones that you can do them multiple times a day once you've gotten to the flashing smileys, though combining them with the cheapies sounds like a good economical strategy!

I'm still on the big fat blank ones which is a bit anticlimactic haha. Then again realistically I would probably expect to ovulate in a week's time so I guess it makes sense.

@Blossomingflower94 Ah I see! The CB OPKs seem ok so far, not very exciting till I get any smileys I suppose. Definitely glad that you do them first thing in the morning though, I'm sure I'd forget in the afternoons (and not a fan of the idea of not going to the bathroom for ages!)

@Blossomingflower94 Yay! Well done, enjoy the wedding festivities! I'm sure the two days without DTD won't have too much of an impact, let us know when you get that static smiley! So far just the blanks for me though I'd be surprised if I had a flashing one before CD 10!

@AliSxo Is this your first cycle doing OPK? I wonder how long till the faint line becomes dark, will be interesting to see how Flo lines up with it!

@Raizelrea @Blossomingflower94 hey I had did an OPK internet cheapie and it's a very very faint line, Flo predicts day of ovulation as Saturday but I agree with @Raizelrea its the BD'ing before that gives a good chance xx

@Blossomingflower94 Are you still on flashing smileys on the CB OPK? I wouldn't be too bummed about the timing, if you have a 25 day cycle I would imagine it can't be too long till ovulation for you, and even if you do ovulate on the day when you're apart DTD a day before ovulation is meant to give you more chances than on the day of. Plus sperm's meant to live for up to 5 days so if it's only 2 days you're missing it should be just fine. You've got it covered!

I started the CB OPK today, just the blank smiley which I was expecting since it's the first one and only CD8. I did manage to accidentally tip the cup of wee all over the bathroom floor 😆 Typical!
