Ovulation day - 2ww just starting

@lauraliverpool i would keep on with the ovulation sticks. I resisted them for ages but actually it's good to know.

@catsandkid wishing you lots of luck for the next cycle 
@Treaclepie19 loving the jammy snails! I made a pumpkin pie loaf cake today to try and distract myself from the TWW.

Does anyone know about the reliability of the one step tests? I caved and did a test yesterday and today and I had a vague, super-squinty second line on both but can't tell if they actually have colour or just an evap line. Aside from that I've still been having random period pains from time to time but AF is due Friday so I guess it could be a sign of that. Got a clear blue test that I could potentially use tomorrow but not sure whether I should.

Hope everyone is doing ok today and had a nice weekend!

@Gigi318 yep had a nice day, got a new jumper and a another one for Christmas from my mum, bought a few little crafty bits from the works. How's your day been?? Starting to feel tired myself now 😴

@Lauraliverpool absolutely. Have you had a good day?? I'm exhausted now from doing nothing hehe!!! Sort of counting down to go to sleep now 🙊🙊🙊

Yep @Gigi318 that's all you can do hey! 🙌

@Lauraliverpool I'm sure it's fine! It's probably best to just go with it and hope for the best. Then you can't go wrong 🙌🏻

Thank you @Treaclepie19 💕 I do not know whether to use ovulation tests again this month, give you some idea what's going on. Xx

@Gigi318 it seems to be, wether it is me entering the information incorrect I don't know, I think I'm putting the right date in. Hope it's not af for you 💓

@Treaclepie19 thank you so much. That's definitely reassuring. Still brown at the mo, but we shall see!

@Treaclepie19 oh really?? Was it brown or red? Do you remember how long it lasted? Sorry to ask?? It's just good for peace of mind! Oh they look so cuteeee. How do they taste??

@Treaclepie19 I though that for sure with the pinkish brown spotting Thursday and Friday. Yesterday I was all but clear, but now it's back and darker. Don't feel crampy or anything, just emotional - which is definitely because of the CM/spotting. So we shall have to see what happens!
Oh that's amazing. I will have to try that! OMG how cuteeeee 💙

@Treaclepie19 OMG 😍 were they easy to make? I'd love to make them!! Hehehe I can imagine! Thank you chick, but I feel so hormonal today and still spotting so I just feel defeated. And worried something is wrong if it is AF early!! Woohoo almost time to get DTD! 😘

AF arrived this morning so it's on to cycle #3 for baby #2 for us! Wishing everyone still in TwW the best of luck and baby dust!

I've got the CBFM and Ava bracelet ready for this cycle. These long cycles do get me down though - last one was 40 days and things are so irregular. Meh!

Today I plan to consume all the wine and chocolate!

@Treaclepie19 morning love! Oh no! Yes definitely do the OPKs. What CD are you now??? I think I'm going to be out this month. I just have a feeling 😞

@Lauraliverpool oh amazing. Are they quite accurate for you with O and when AF is due? I'm feeling rubbishy now - emotional and just off. Think AF might be on her way 😔💔

I'm very lucky @Gigi318 💕 yep I'm using Flo and clue app was thinking of ditching them few weeks ago cause they were starting to stress me out but still got them on my phone.

@Lauraliverpool that sounds like a lovely day. You have such a lovely mum!!
Absolutely and that should help. Are you using any apps at all? That might help you inpoint it more regularly! 🤞🏻

@Gigi318 I'm not too bad thanks Hun, planning on going out with my mum and little boy today as hubby is off out to watch the football with his brother, have you got plans for today?.
I put in the NHS ovulation calculator the period I had at the beginning of September and then the one was lasted like just two days at the end of September and it gave two fertile windows. I'm just getting so confused by it all. I'm definitely going to try and dtd every other day like you say and more so over the peak period, can say that again. 💓💓💓

Morning ladies, how are we all? Happy Sunday!!! I hope you all have something nice planned for the day 🥂

@Lauraliverpool thank you chick. Not long to go now. How are you feeling today? If you're cycle length is shorter than the number of days in the month then absolutely. Have you got O at the start and end of the month??
I am all very new to this (cycle 2 TTC1) so I don't know much about the fertility testing but I would say definitely aim to DTD every other day from end of AF as you can prep the swimmers ready for FW. Then every day for three days over your peak. If you can. It's hard and can be like 5-6 in a week, but it should do it! It's tough though isn't it 💖💖💖
