Looks like I'm out of the race this month, AF arrived 5 days early 😔

Imadreamer44 · 20/11/2019 17:29

I'm not entirely sure how many dpo I am either - 9ish I think. Feeling a bit tired this week.

Haha @falkor32 my husband was the same, I felt bad!

falkor32 · 19/11/2019 21:12

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing okay!?

We were going to try the SMEP this cycle and started on CD10 but then it all went out the window as I suddenly got my static OPK on CD11. I think I’m only 5dpo. I’m not very hopeful even though we DTD three day’s in a row which practically finished off my husband 😳 ...

claireb707 · 19/11/2019 19:57

Hey so am I now, not sure whether 3dpo or 1 though.

How is everyone else?

Imadreamer44 · 19/11/2019 18:08

Hows everybody getting on? I'm in the TWW and I've never known time move so slowly!

claireb707 · 14/11/2019 10:35

Got my flashing smiley this morning, but annoyingly my Ava didn't record anything 🤬 no idea why

falkor32 · 11/11/2019 21:40

CD9 for me as well @claireb707 got the very friendly O on my CB digital OPK this morning. Ovulation hasn’t been the same day for me every month either so going by previous trends I’m hoping for a static OPK and ovulation Fri-Sun? We’re going to attempt SMEP this month too 🙈

Finger crossed for you and everyone else 😊

claireb707 · 11/11/2019 20:28

CD9, still no close to pos opks yet but have got period like cramps all the away across my front, not specific to one side like I've had before with ovulation. Guess my body is still adjusting to being off the pill as ovulation day has been gradually getting later day 11 first month of tracking and day 12 last month

Imadreamer44 · 11/11/2019 16:36

I'm on cd11 and got some cramping at one side so think its ovulation pain, not sure what else it could be. DTD yesterday and hopefully tomorrow so if I have ovulated (you never know with PCOS, opks don't really work and my cycle still crazy from off the pill) then we're doing it at the right time.

Good luck @claireb707 and everyone else.

Nicecupofcoco · 11/11/2019 09:54

@Gigi318 fingers crossed for you! Is this your first cycle using the opks? Xx
Good luck to all other ladies too!

claireb707 · 10/11/2019 16:31

I'm now cd8 and I think at the start of my fw. I've had a couple of high opks but no smileys yet. Ordered another batch of cb digital opks as only have 5 left.

Good luck @Gigi318!!

Gigi318 · 10/11/2019 12:22

Hi ladies, how are we all doing? I'm finally in my TWW after doing OPKs! Time to switch off for two weeks now xx

claireb707 · 06/11/2019 15:44

Woo @Katie1109 🤞 for you. Hows rhe Dom rep?

My Ava bracelet has turned up today which is handy as I'm cd4 and due to start opks on Friday

Hi @Imadreamer44, I always had relatively light periods before going on the pill at 26, and I came off it in May at 31 (now 32) and I had my first period in June. Since then they have been lighter than my pre-pill days especially my current one and last months. I’m trying not to worry and I look for a pattern were I pink/brown spot to start then have a day or so of darker flow then it reverts back to brown and then goes. I’m happy enough that it follows that same sort of pattern each month with the amount of flow varying. I will keep an eye on mine still but I might speak with my dr in a month or so if this changes. Perhaps keep and eye and see how it goes if you’ve not been off the pill that long?

Imadreamer44 · 05/11/2019 22:20

I'm just coming to the end of my first period off the pill and there hasn't been much blood at all which really surprised me. The cramps were bad but barely any blood.
Do any of you know if this is normal? With my PCOS they were so heavy pre-pill so I'm not used to this at all!

Nicecupofcoco · 04/11/2019 08:35

@myttcjourney hi! Yes I had spotting the month I fell pregnant. But the strange thing was it was during ovulation, I never have this! Apparently some woman get spotting round ovulation but I didn't even know it was a thing. We only dtd three times over a week so I don't think it was due to too much dtd! 🙊😂 Funny what our bodies do. Where are you in your cycle lovely? Could very well be a positive sign! Will keep fingers crossed.

claireb707 · 04/11/2019 07:58

Oooh very nice @Katie1109 (well not the norovirus bit)!!

Katie1109 · 04/11/2019 07:49

Morning ladies x how are we?
Sorry af arrived for you @claireb707, sending lots of hugs and sunshine from Dominican Republic to you x
6DPO for me today, slight twinges and pulling started this morning on my left side x af due between 9-11 November, depending at which app I look lol x CD22 today and boobs are not sore, which is different than usual CD19 when they normally start to ache x
I think I caught norovirus unfortunately, so that was the reason for me being sick for the last 24 hours, not the greatest start to my holiday, but I'm better now x

@falkor32 definitely!! 👖👖🤞🤞

falkor32 · 03/11/2019 16:19

@claireb707 sorry that AF had arrived today too but let’s put our positive pants on for the next one 😊

claireb707 · 03/11/2019 16:12

Oh this sucks big time, catching up on Casualty from a few weeks ago... There's a young woman who got pregnant from a one night stand and is now trying to get rid of it by drinking a litre of vodka, not telling radiographer before having an xray and jumping off a wall...

Not the best episode for me to watch today 😓

claireb707 · 03/11/2019 16:06

Think with me it's still my body settling down after being on the pill, only came off it in mid August.

myttcjourney · 03/11/2019 16:04

@claireb707 I'm the same. Always 31/30 day cycle and last month it came at 28 days!

Why are cycles always unpredictable when TTC

claireb707 · 03/11/2019 14:44

And there's my period 😢 still at least with this cycle being 26 days we now have another chance to try before cruise 😀
