Early December testing?

@Ellsbells112 Thanks angel, that's helped a lot! Xx

@Gems7 I know its so annoying!! Well everyone is different so you could get your LH surge and ovulate a day later or 2 days later which is common. Apparently my body just shoots the LH surge way too close to ovulation🤷‍♀️ maybe it happened the night before but that morning my bbt had already spiked. I'd just say watch how you go with them this first month but when you see flashing smileys you BD as much as you can to cover all bases. First time I used them. I didn't even. Get a flashing it went straight from blank to solid lol so trial and error I suppose. It all helps though xxx

@Ellsbells112 thanks hun, yes I've ordered the clear blue digital ones from Amazon, they will be here tomorrow. I don't think I'll be able to do bbt because I work in a hospital and have all crazy shift patterns. I just know I would miss doing it all the time.
It really showed you a solid smiley once you have already ovulated? I thought that was supposed to show your LH surge in the lead up to ovulation? Does it flash then in the few days leading up to ovulation and then show a solid smiley on the day of ovulation?
Ahhh mannnn I thought it was going to be easier to predict this way... 😩 haha it's never simple
It it 😂 xxx

@Gems7 are you using the cheap ones? If yes then do it twice, once in morning and once in evening
If using the clear blue you only need to once a day then when you get a flashing smiley you should do it twice a day until you get a solid.
Just a word of warning, I was using the clear blues and thinking I needed to dtd when I saw solid smiley, but this month I was tracking bbt and realised when I got my solid is actually after I had already bloody ovulated.
So I would really really recommend bbt it's the most accurate along with clear blue opks (reason being you only know you've ovulated once your bbt spikes by then it's too late) so you take the opks as well to know when to just start getting sex crazy lol but I'd really suggest clear blues not the cheap ones xx

@Ellsbells112 our bodies are evil at times aren't they 😂 Last Monday I had the sorest boobs I have ever had in my life, one week before AF was due, I thought "yes here we go it's finally my time 🙏🏻".... But NO!! 😂 just my body playing games with me! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Girls I am using OPK's this cycle for the first time ever. What time of the day is best to use them do you find? Should I do it twice per day or just once?

Xx

@anny27 I had a friend as a teenager who it happened to dunno why I'm getting it now! Hope it's a one off tbh it's awful!
Do you feel like you covered all bases? I've started primrose oil this month to help with ewcm lol

@ellsbells112 sometimes I throw up when I am on my period! Doesnt happen so much now I am an adult but when I was a teen I used to often throw up on period. So weird!

@Laur89 ahhh hopefully the moodiness is a little baby growing haha! My AF is due 26tb

@robbo93 ahhh your body is tricking you all over the place haha

2dpo for me,no symptoms yet obvs!

@Laur89 I've been like it too except it was pms for me lol

I'm day 2 of period and feel so sick literally keep thinking I'm going to puke. This is some sick joke let me. Tell you lol I'm dealing with nausea and no baby just blood what kind of bad joke is this 😂😅

@Laur89 could be implantation having an affect on you 🤞 😆 xx

I'm okay thanks @Laur89 how are you?
I've gone back to clear EWCM style, hoping it's still the start of AF - I think you're all as invested in this situation as me 🤣 xx

@Robbo93 lol Aww great girl!! You can get on with the next cycle! Xx

I've got pink mucus... I think she's coming! 🤞🤞
(Never been pleased to see it before lol)

@Robbo93 sorry to hear that honestly being in limbo must be shite!

@Laur89 haha the Symptom spotting is bloody awful!!

Hopefully we see some bfps this month!!

@Ellsbells112 oh no :(
Least the flights haven't messed with your cycles tho!

@Anny27 no I'm not stressing, like having no period but not liking the thought Of being in limbo. I'll speak to the consultant later this week and see what they say x

Sorry AF arrived girls :( @ellsbells112 @Gems7

Are you stressing about it @robbo93 or are you kinda fed up of waiting for AF now?

I ovulated yesterday so 1dpo today.....let the symptom spotting begin 🤣

@Gems7 🤗 af came for me this morning too. Onto the next cycle for both of us, hopefully we get some luck! Xx

@Ellsbells112 AF came this afternoon. Day 1 of a new cycle for me.
And I agree with @Robbo93 you can obsess here. Your OH will be as frustrated and disappointed as you are, men just communicate things in a different way, they are wired differently. At the heart of it he will be thinking about you. Xx

@Robbo93 haha thanks girl x
Ahh sorry to hear that 😔

@Ellsbells112 nope nothing yet 😔

That's sad to hear, but also reassuring to know it's getting the men down as much as it is us. You can obsess about the TTC journey with us tho x

@Gems7 I hope it rains there too!!
Yeah it's so difficult I put off a trip we wanted to do in March now I wish I hadn't, we are thinking of booking it now it's just more expensive is all
I hope your af comes soon so you can start again.. Or BFP!? Have you tested??
I'm cramping ready and waiting for af and temperature shot right down today. My OH tried to say let's have a break, like taking a month away will make it better. So now. I. Have to keep quiet abiut Ttc with him. Because he hates hearing about it 😢

@Robbo93
Any sign of af? Xx

@Gems7 @Robbo93 Its so hard not to stop planning isnt it! I am booked to go in this zip lining adventure thing in april with my family and obv if I am 0pregnant I can't do it! But I want mind it wasnt hugely expensive. But dont want to book a big overseas holiday!
