Ah ok, try again later today then?

Well according to the app I'm due on in 18 days 😂 as I ovulated early so not sure

LunaLlena · 28/10/2019 08:59

@Katie1109 Any possibility you can dtd today? In that case you will be covered.

Katie1109 · 28/10/2019 08:59

@claireb707 pink tinge could be due to implantation!! So exiting, I hope this is it for you x I’d wait until you’re at least 11-12 DPO, when is your af due? x
I took photo of that opk about 6 minutes after peeing on it lol x

How long have you left that test before reading it? I found mine got darker after 2 mins so between 3 and 5 mins

LunaLlena · 28/10/2019 08:53

@Makeafamily19 Yes, it's like I'm a new person today, thank you! I'm normally very positive, I swear Grin

claireb707 · 28/10/2019 08:53

Lots and lots of creamy cm tinged with pink over last 2 days, a bit crampy yesterday but not like period cramps, got a little fluttering feeling last night and my oh said I was grumpy yesterday (although I don't agree)

Katie1109 · 28/10/2019 08:49

@claireb707 any symptoms apart from fatigue? fingers crossed for you!! x
I’ve just done an opk and this is the result. I think if I didn’t ovulate yet I probably will in the next couple of days when my OH is away, so not much chance of this being my cycle :(

I'm now 9dpo trying to decide when to test

Katie1109 · 28/10/2019 08:18

Morning ladies how are we all? x is anyone coming up to testing/af day? Sorry had a busy weekend so wasn’t active here x
According to my apps I am either 2DPO or O day today, with af due 9/10 of November x I’ve been using opks since Wednesday which was CD 10, but haven’t seen a peak yet :( maybe I’ve missed it or I’m doing something wrong x I hope I will not ovulate later than today/tomorrow because my OH is going to Holland tomorrow with work for 2 days and not coming back till Thursday evening :(

Welcome @LunaLlena I know what you mean, it's such a rollercoaster of emotions. I hope you are feeling a bit better today.

@jemx CM can vary from person to person anyway so I think it's very hard to tell! Especially after ovulation everyone seems to get a mixture of different CM!

jemx · 27/10/2019 16:30

@claireb707 that sounds positive, fingers crossed for you!

I’m guessing I’m around 9-11 dpo (based purely on apps), did an IC this morning which was negative. This afternoon, genuinely felt like either I’d wet myself or AF had arrived due to watery CM. Not sure if that’s a good sign or just a precursor to AF arriving, anyone know? Just starting to track my CM.

claireb707 · 27/10/2019 11:50

8dpo today, just got a load of creamy white cm and a faint tinge of pink, I've also got a shooting pain on my right hand side every so often..

Please please let this be implantation!!

LunaLlena · 27/10/2019 11:05

Hi all, hope I can join Smile

I'm on CD1 today, AF came on time but it didn't hurt less. I was really convinced this was my cycle. I had brown spotting for six days starting at 9dpo, so I thought that would be implantation bleeding but AF greeted me this morning with full flow... nice!

This is cycle #3. I tried before for three cycles last year, and that would make it #6 in total, but lets say 3 and make it less daunting.

I was a long time lurker, but today AF made me so sad that I thought I need to have this feelings out of my chest.

In a bright and more positive note, I decided I'm going to start SMEP this cycle. I have a digi clearblue ovulation test so let's see how it goes. Is any of you trying this method?

Imadreamer44 · 27/10/2019 09:28

I think you might be right @Makeafamily19, especially with the mini pill. I need to get some ovulation tests.

Has everyone else had a good weekend?

Makeafamily19 · 27/10/2019 09:07

Maybe you are ovulating @Imadreamer44 ? You can ovulate before you get your first AF off the pill I think.

Imadreamer44 · 27/10/2019 08:17

Been having twinges since yesterday, no AF but quite a lot of EWCM.

Gigi318 · 26/10/2019 11:54

Hi everyone! Sorry just taking a step back and trying to relax more so will check in periodically I think! How is everyone??

claireb707 · 26/10/2019 10:27

Gah my fingers aren't working this morning, normally 28 day cycles last 2 have been 32 and 34 😂😂

Ju1iet · 26/10/2019 10:00

Hey all,

Hope I'm not too late to join in here.
OH and I have been ttc for the last 5 months.

After the first few misses, I've been using the clearblue advanced to pinpoint peak days. It's been useful. My husband works nights, so we don't see each other much for most of the week. To say this makes things harder is an understatement.

Usually 30 day cycles.
Last peak was 17/18 October so just a waiting game this month.

Had a few odd days, up all weird hours at night. But I've had a cold/cough the last week, so difficult to know if it's due to that or if our luck is in.

Imadreamer44 · 26/10/2019 09:54

Thanks @Makeafamily19. We're just going to take it slow and see what happens. Trying not to pressure ourselves too much.

Feeling excited for this new step in our lives though.

claireb707 · 26/10/2019 09:47

@Makeafamily19 not sure, I'm normally 27 day cycles but my last 2 off the pill have been 31 and 32 and because I ovulate early (days 11 and 12) I still may have a long time to wait so not sure if I should or not. May see if anything else pops up to give me a sign

Makeafamily19 · 26/10/2019 09:41

Hi all, how is everyone?
Welcome @Imadreamer44 my friend has PCOS and conceived the first time she tried so it's not always rocky, good luck!

I'm 6DPO today, really want the next week to hurry up, but that's mainly as I have a week off work then haha.

I think it is too early for it to be anything @claireb707 but you never know I guess. I'm always tired so I wouldn't notice a difference! Are you going to test early?

Imadreamer44 · 25/10/2019 21:54

Hi guys,

Wondered if I could join in? I'm massively new to TTC. I'm 25 and just stopped taking the mini pill recently. I know I might be in for a rocky road due to PCOS.

Waiting for my cycle to come back to whatever normal is but getting on with dad anyway because why not! Grin

Glad to be on this journey with you all.

claireb707 · 25/10/2019 21:01

I know but I'm never normally this tired, I've been in bed by 9.30 every night this week and asleep before 10 which is unheard of for me. I normally struggle get to sleep before 10.30/11.

Lizziedu49 · 25/10/2019 20:45

@claireb707 it's a bit early to have symptoms
