Hi all,

AF arrived today so thought I would start a new thread....feel free to join.

First cycle since MMC and ERPC on 1st October, following BFP straight after implant removal.

Bit odd for me, first proper AF in a few years.

Hoping this is the month!

Hey @HalfPenny28 my AF is also due on the 3rd December!! When are you due to ovulate? Earliest I'll test is 10dpo but might catch myself doing an IC sooner than that!! Xx

@Nic555 @ceebee21 it can be tricky with DTD planning, my boyfriend is delighted in the first week and by the end of my ovulation window he's worn out nothing left to give 😂😂😂 started the CB ovulation sticks this morning, I had a ⭕️ which was to be expected on CD7 xx

ceebee21 · 13/11/2019 11:42

Another flashing smiley for me today! CD12 I had one blank circle on CD9, then flashing CD10, 11 and 12... going to do an Internet cheapie tonight and see what that brings.

@whatsthecraic91 that's good about your flashing. I tempted to start tomorrow now. I was thinking it's always blank the first day you test to get your base level of estrogen so if I leave it too late it won't notice an increase and flash if estrogen is already high if that makes sense. I was gonna start Friday so one extra stick won't make any difference to the cost. Just worried I won't ovulate till day 21 or later like some months though. Sorry if TMI I feel completely dry so wanted to wait till more CF. So hard to know what to do.

Sorry to hear about SMEP it is a lot of pressure on our partners. We tried but didn't finish the job 🙈 I don't want to make a big deal out of it though cos that'll just make it worse. I can't remember what a normal sex life is like 😂

HalfPenny28 · 13/11/2019 10:31

Hi all 🙂👋🏼 af due 3rd dec for me so I'll be testing that week 🙌🏼 wishing everyone the best of luck this cycle!

whatsthecraic91 · 13/11/2019 08:10

Flashing smiley this morning CD 11! Only one ⭕️ this cycle so maybe I will ovulate early this month instead of CD17/18. Trying seven seas conception vitamins again so maybe they’ve sorted things out.

Our SMEP is out the window already, we weren't feeling it last night and I got a bit upset over it, then DP huffed with me and we went to sleep with our backs to each other. Feeling a bit down today about it, this TTC business is so much pressure isn’t it? 😓

Nic555 · 13/11/2019 07:39

I'm cycle day 10. Not started my clear blue yet. I don't want loads of blank or flashy faces. I might start Friday although right now I don't feel like ovulation is close. I thought I'd just try SMEP and then I've covered all bases but I don't think DH will cope with all that pressure so decided to just DTD when we are in the mood for it instead and try and forget about ovulation until I get a flashy. It's so difficult though. X

MrsTwentySeven · 13/11/2019 07:27

@ceebee21 ⭕️ Again for me on CD13 !

AliSxo · 12/11/2019 23:01

Hey @ceebee21 hoping you get the static tomorrow!! It's expensive too!! Have you brought a 20 pack? Xx

ceebee21 · 12/11/2019 22:11

Another flashing smiley today...praying I don’t have 10 again. But I feel positive that my static will be this week xx

MrsTwentySeven · 12/11/2019 20:06

@Nic555 you’re right - I’ll focus on the OPKs!

@Jh2019 hope you get one again at CD12!

I don’t even know when I ovulate as this is my attempt #1 🙈 Hoping it’s around CD18 ...
We are delaying DTD in fear of a burn out by then so waiting till that flashing smiley face >>😄

Jh2019 · 12/11/2019 19:58

With you on the blank circle today @MrsTwentySeven and @whatsthecraic91! Only CD9 though, just want to make sure I don't miss it...got the first flashing smiley on CD12 last time.

@ceebee21 glad you got your flashing smiley! Hope it turns into a static soon for you this time

Nic555 · 12/11/2019 13:29

@loverainbow02 I tend to ovulate different days. Ive only been off the pill since June. Earliest I ovulated was day 16 month before was day 21.

Im not sure when to start my sticks. Don't want too many blank faces. I might wait till I notice more CF and just make sure I DTD every other day. I'm cycle day 9 today. So might start day 12 if I can hold off that long

@MrsTwentySeven I'd trust the sticks not the App. I've heard the app been completely wrong for some people and been the reason they havent maybe got pregnant cos they were timing it wrong. I update my app with results of my OPKs so it amends the FW xx

LoveRainbow02 · 12/11/2019 10:58

Do you ladies ovulate on the same CD every month? I have 2 apps that I use to track. 1 is telling me ovulation in 2 days and the other is saying I'm not in the fertile window for another 4 days 🤷‍♀️. I've had ewcm for 2 days now and think I may ovulate later today as my test is pretty dark today and suspect the next test tonight with confirm. I'm so nervous but excited this month

MrsTwentySeven · 12/11/2019 10:34

@whatsthecraic91 ⭕️ Again for me today 😭 CD12 now....

@ceebee21 oh I hope that doesn’t happen! So frustrating!

My clue app tells me my “fertile window” begins tomorrow so hoping OPK confirms this 😕

ceebee21 · 12/11/2019 09:45

I am very impatient as well... last month I had 10 days of flashing smileys!!!

Really hope that doesn't happen this month... I am putting it down to being straight after my MMC as the reason!

Started CB OPKs
Circle ⭕️ only ...
CD11
Why am I so impatient...cannot wait for early December already ?!

AliSxo · 11/11/2019 19:35

Hey I'm starting the clear blue OPKS as of Wednesday when I'll be CD7 x first month trying them.... expensive hope they're worth it!! Last cycle I got the SOREST boobs at CD8/9 so that's not something I can symptom spot... they did go down back to normal at CD11/12 so hoping they stay sore 😂😂 xxx

SallyCinnamon3009 · 11/11/2019 18:00

How's everyone feeling? I've managed to stay away from the apps and the OPKs this month and I'm defo feeling better for it and less stressed out about everything-obviously this may change in the last couple of weeks of the month

whatsthecraic91 · 11/11/2019 17:12

Started SMEP last night, starting my CB OPKs in the morning that will be CD10, fingers crossed for everyone this month, would be lovely for Christmas 🎄😍

The TWW DRAGS & the symptom spotting!!! Hateful

LoveRainbow02 · 11/11/2019 17:07

Yes the tww crawls by every time!! Hoping I dont go all crazy in the tww like before and drive myself mad with symptom spotting

AliSxo · 11/11/2019 16:55

@ceebee21 first two weeks fly by ... TWW feels like a month in itself!! Xx
