December bus - testing first week of december

@Sunshinexx95 it wouldn't surprise me if fever makes it harder to conceive - if your body temperature is high that's going to mess with things. Hope you get a lovely BFP for Christmas.

Welcome @Shuckle enjoy your 2WW 😅 where are you on holiday?

@AliSxo gosh you must be exhausted well done! Hubby and I managed to DTD for the first time this month last night and that was CD15.

@whatsthecraic91 happy symptom spotting! I'm not too far behind you I think, although I'm not tracking when I ovulate yet so am still guessing at this point.

Morning ladies!

@mrstwentyseven I hate when you think oh I’ll definitely get my static tomorrow then you get another flashy 😤 so annoying 😫 how many flashy days have you had now?

Officially 1DPO, let the crazy symptom spotting commence 🤣 should be completing SMEP tonight but don’t think I have the energy 😅

@Jh2019 I hope so - as my crazy is getting worse haha

Good luck with SMEP!

@Nic555 thanks!

This is how crazy paranoid I am....CD 19 and still flashing smiley so I have ordered the CB digitial pink that only shows LH surge to see if I get anything on that....

*managed to get it under control before it turned into a migraine x

Had a vile headache tonight managed to get it indef control before irnspain into a migraine so managed to DTD wahoo!! We've done it Tues,Thurs,Fri,Sat,Mon and today was the first flashing smiley. Baby dust for us all, we'll all be in the TWW soon and I hope that whizzes by!! X

@Sunshinexx95 aww sounds miserable, take care and hope you feel better soon...

@MrsTwentySeven definitely keep going for it, sounds like you’re still very much in with a chance to me!

@AliSxo and @whatsthecraic91 yayy for your smileys! Hope yours turns to static soon alisxo, for me I had 2 flashing last month and none (so no warning!) this month, so guess it can be quite variable.

@shuckle welcome to the club and good luck!

My ovulation is today, stuck to the SMEP nicely so far and just need to convince DH to stick with it for a few days more...wish me luck!

If it helps anyone save a bit of money, I bought my ovulation test strips from Poundland - 5 for £1, same as the IC's but don't have to wait for delivery or risk nosey parkers seeing what I've had delivered .. got a really strong positive using them so I will definitely stick with them as I don't feel guilty using 2 or 3 in a day at that price! X

Crap typed a long message previewed it but didn't post 😭

@MrsTwentySeven still plenty on time if your stick is only flashing today. Do cheapy in the afternoon so you don't miss your peak.

@AliSxo use cheap ones in the afternoon that's what I'm doing but I swear some are dodgy 2nd line is white and seems to be there before I even test. Usually at least a tiny bit of pink on sticks but pure white

@sunshinexx95 fingers crossed you feel better and manage to try a couple of times. A positive before Christmas would be lovely.

@shuckle welcome to the madness of TTC the two week wait and symptom spotting. It does take over your life really quickly good luck xx

Hi guys, can I join the bus please? I'm 24, TTC baby #1, first cycle. Very exciting! DH and I were originally going to start trying in Jan but currently on holiday and sorta agreed without agreeing we'll start now! Got a positive OPK on Saturday (CD16), lots of EWCM, and have DTD twice in last few days. Don't want to get my hopes up too much but timing of DTD I think was pretty perfect!
AF/BFP due 1st December, only 1/2DPO but I swear already things taste funny, got heartburn, weird "stretching" cramps I'm gonna be a nightmare during 2WW!

@whatsthecraic91 thank you :) I am worried I won’t get a static as that happened the last time I used CB (just to see when I ovulate) ....hmmm I won’t go all gloomy just yet, might still be able to join the 2WW!

@mrstwentyseven of course! Keep DTD up until you get your static and a day or 2 after!

DTD has not been possible for me either due to work schedules :( first flashing smiley was yesterday - do you ladies think I’m still in with a chance if we DTD today tomorrow and Wednesday?

@Nic555 🥴 I read that fever can decrease the chance of getting pregnant .. but I will try to dtd 😞 we missed ovulation last month so this month I really don't want to miss it. Have been trying since end of August :/ no luck so far. And I have always tested with stick to see when I ovulate.. I hope we all get a really nice Christmas present this month 😭 it would be so awesome ...

Yes good point I'll use my IC's for now and save the digitals for FMU xx

@AliSxo I have only used them once a day FMU so don’t know if testing twice a day is worth it, if it was me with only 4 left I would only do once a day. If you want to test in between have you any IC?

@whatsthecraic91 I've got 4 sticks left I might take one later and see what it says? Xxx

@AliSxo I got 4 days of flashing smiley before my static so you may ovulate later than what your app is saying

Yay first day of flashing smiley wahoo!! Due to ovulate tomorrow according to Flo app xx

@Sunshinexx95 hope you feel better soon. I had the flu last weekend and it was awful!

@Nic555 Sending lots of baby dust your way 😊.

I'm 4dpo now I think and hating the tww already lol. Does anyone track their cervix positions?

Cycle day 15 and got my first flashy so was obviously completely wrong about ovulating last week. Glad I kept testing now. I'm away Wednesday so may miss peak ovulation day.

@sunshinexx95 I'm sure flu would only affect your chance's by making you not in the mood for DTD which I wouldn't blame you at all. I hope you feel better soon xx

Good morning everyone...
Tracking ovulation and it seems that I am going to ovulate soon. However I have the flu so chances that I get pregnant is very low I read. I have had fever all night ... I hope everyone else is well ❤️

CD15 and finally got my static this morning! So I will take tomorrow as my ovulation day which is a day or 2 early for me! I’m usually CD17/18. Glad to see it so we can get started on our 3 in a row 😅 it really is hard work 😂😂

@jh2019 never had that before. Maybe your estrogen had already risen when you started testing so you missed the flashing ones.

Still blank for me. Not too concerned think I might have missed the rise and will go straight to static or i have ovulated Wednesday. My CM seems to have decreased . My IC don't even have a hint of a line and normally there's at least a little bit of pink will keep testing next few days anyway. x

@AliSxo
Yeah me to still ⭕️ on ovulation .. I ovulate 21st which is a Thursday .. planing on dtd every other because I read it is better than everyday :/
I feel a bit ill 🤒... tired and have a slight cough.. hopefully I will be fine during ovulation. 😭
