December bus - testing first week of december

@Nicc555 My last af was deffo a proper period as it was my first after my early mc. I have no idea what's going on tbh. The tests just seem to be getting darker again. I deffs ovulated 8 days ago though as leading up to this I had all the symptoms and ewcm and really strong positive opks for nearly 2 days. My body is weird 😂

@loverainbow02 I have just read another thread where someone tested at what they thought was 5 DPO with an OPK and it was positive they've done a pregnancy test and are 2-3 weeks pregnant. What they thought was their last period as it was 5 days like normal must have been implantation. Don't want to get your hopes up but may be worth a test even if just to rule is out.

@MrsTwentySeven it's all the Googling I do and because I had the same issue 😂 you may not be out. I'd keep DTD just in case how many flashing days did you have?

Xx

@Nic555 you know everything! Ahh it makes sense. I’m going to stop testing then. What a waste of money if I’ve just missed the surge. DTD once on the 2nd day of flashing smiley and DH got ill. I’m out 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Nicc555 yes my last opk was much darker than that test for sure. I'm due af between the 28th and 30th. Tested again this morning with 2nd wee and got this result.

@MrsTwentySeven yes if you missed your surge it'll still flash that's what happened to me when I missed it on the CB. Once it flashes it stops tracking estrogen and just looks for LH. Is this your first month tracking? It could just be a longer cycle for you this month or you could have missed it. It's awful not knowing.

@loverainbow02 oh God how confusing. I have heard of people getting a positive OPK just before AF or when they've actually been pregnant but it seems to be too early for either of them. Was your positive last week darker than this one?

@alisxo I wouldn't test 8 days it'll be far too early to show anything. I'd wait till 10 😊

@talcott2007 I know what you mean it's so difficult having to force it. I was going to attempt SMEP but decided against it. I'd never survive xx

Love Rainbow...
Join the confused club with me😭 Flashing smiley CD 22 and increased CM....
Have I ovulate ...am I about to ? 32 day cycle this seems too late ?

@AliSxo the 2WW is dragging for me and I’m on 3 DPO 😫 I’m testing next Saturday 30th Nov I’ll be 12DPO - AF due Sun 1st, that’s the earliest I’ll test now as I’ve had too many BFN to count 😕

Well as of tomorrow I'm 1DPO wahoo! 😂 I thought I'd be 3dpo but I've ovulated 2 days later than expected. I was planning on testing on 29/11 which is next Friday but not sure now as I'll only be 8DPO... I'll see how I feel 💕 hope everyone is ready for the TWW or if you're already in it I hope it flies by and hope we get some BFPs! Xx

Now that I don’t know if ovulated and if I did then I’m 5 dpo...
I have a crazy rash on my face which is unexplained ! Symptom spotting even without a proper DPO - I’m setting a new standard for crazy

@Nic555 does the flashing smiley still stay on? Like does that mean Lh surge happens and goes down but oestrogen levels drop down later on slowly ? Thanks that makes me feel a lot better!! X

So my opks have started to go dark again. Usually they are either stark white or have a really faint line after ovulation but the lh seems to be rising again for some reason. I took an opk tonight as I suddenly felt the same symptoms as ovulation even though I am 7dpo. I'm a little baffled lol. Any ideas?

@atouchoffrenchy we started trying in June after our wedding. This is cycle 5 I had a couple of long cycles at the beginning. Only felt back to normal in September x

@MrsTwentySeven have you been testing twice a day. I would have missed mine last month if u hadn't as it surged then went straight down. So you could have missed it x

@Talcott2007 it’s such hard work, we done SMEP right up until my positive, DTD that day and the next day and then gave up! Couldn’t do 3 in a row! Hopefully we have done enough 🤞🏼Good luck! 3DPO today this 2WW is dragging as always!!

Good luck for those approaching ovulation 🤞.

I promised myself I wouldnt symptom spot this time ttc but it's not going well and I'm only 7dpo. Caved this morning and poas simply because I'm obsessed 😂

@Talcott2007 all the excuses I'd usually use I'm having to push aside, I had an eye infection last night I'm sure that wasn't very attractive but we had do DTD regardless!! Normally I'd be like no sorry hun my eye is sore but when you're in the fertile window it's so different compared to when we weren't TTC xx

@whatsthecraic91 - TTC is so much pressure! I can totally relate! I'm due to O today (according to this app I'm using not actually tracking it) DTD last night because I said we 'needed' to but it felt really weird - both DH and I were tired and I know if it wasn't the window I doubt either of us would have initiated anything. I'd have been upset though if we hadn't done it (especially if this cycle turns out not to be successful - I'm sure both of us would have be thinking what if?) But I also don't want it to be so mechanical! Arrgh! We both already agreed to DTD again tonight and probably tomorrow (DH is then way for the weekend) obviously to give us the best chance this month - i just hope tonight feels more like it normally is with us!

@Nic555 I have no doubt it would be amazing present for both of you!! Well let's see what decide mother nature for both of us.. Since how long are you TTC? Would it be your first pregnancy? xx

@HugeAgeGap So cool we are both on the same timing and let's keep positive this month it is the month! :) My first pregnancy I became pregnant DTD 2 days before ovulation... so Saturday DTD might work for you! I have TTC during now more than 5 months, DTD always around ovulation dates but so far nothing. I am wondering if this is because of thinking about it too much.. but so hard to not think about it when you have a strong pregnancy desire. :( This month I tried to keep busy in order to not concentrate my thoughts on it.. Let's see if it work. Let's keep us posted about symptoms. xx

@Shuckle thank you so much 🤞😊

@mrstwentyseven do you usually ovulate late? What CD did you start the CBs?

CD21 and another flashing smiley
That’s flashing smileys from CD17 till 21 ☹️ have I missed my LH surge day ?

@Mrs2018 stranger things have happened! Good luck on your TTC journey 😊

Had my coil removed yesterday I'm definitely in the wrong group as I won't be pregnant by December but we are now officially TTC 🤞😁

@Shuckle 😂 they could name a meeting room after me 😂 well I'm 1DPO on Friday so let the tww begin xx going to google less this time round xx

@AliSxo you should ask for a pop up banner with your name on in their head office 😂 I see Amazon isn't too bad on prices, but I'm going to try really really really really hard to resist the urge to POAS until AF is late! I might go buy some more cheapy OPKs from Poundland as you get 5 in a pack and pee on them to pretend 😂😂
