@MrsC89 welcome. Not that we are all experts judging by our latest chat! Haha! But we can try and help. What have you been using? Have you had any positives with your opk? Do you get any other signs around OV?

Hiya can I join you ladies?
Have had some problem pinpointing ovulation this cycle. Currently on CD15 with a 28 day cycle, so should have been yesterday or today. I reckon I got a dodgy batch of opks!
I'm on cycle 2 of ttc after a tfmr back in August.

I suppose I'll just wait and see. Something else for me to obsess about for the next few days! Lol

@Skygirl1983 I was extra wet for the entire day when I did put it in that was about it really. Next morning it was back to normal

I wonder though if it could be to do with the preseed lube? Never used it before so can that hang around a bit and affect CM??

Ok that's good @Skygirl1983 all indicates you did ovulate. So keep a eye like you said and see how it progresses.

mellymoo86 · 14/11/2019 19:28

@mrsio that's true...so seems like I followed that so fingers crossed! Argh, wish I can shove a camera up and go see my egg and what she's doing. Probably drowning in Nutella 😂

@mellymoo86 yeah I used the easy@home sticks to give me an idea as well as the tracking app and looking out for my usual signs. All signs lead me to Monday. I definitely had the pain in my side all of Monday too. Will keep an eye on the CM but it's still light in colour and EW in texture

I think the day before ov is supposed to be the best to DTD. That's why they say to start as soon as you get a positive opk and for 2-3 days coz you don't know when you'll actually ovulate. I got ovulation pains about 13hrs after I got my peak opk. But could have peaked a bit earlier coz it was first thing in the morning when I got the peak

mellymoo86 · 14/11/2019 19:24

@Skygirl1983 but didn't you do the cheapie sticks? Or were you going by how your body was reacting and cramps? To be honest you know your body better than any stick so I wouldn't worry at all 🤗

mellymoo86 · 14/11/2019 19:23

@Ellsbells112 yeah sometimes it can just take time and a bit of of luck. It's good you got checked at least it gives you some peace of mine. I'm def not waiting one year, I'm going to the GP in Jan. by then it would be 4 months trying. I have no patience and I have no time to be wasting lol

mrsio · 14/11/2019 19:23

@sh84 I'm so sorry for your losses. I can't even imagine what you've been through.

We've defo lost @Louu99. I hope she's not sat swearing at her phone wondering why it won't let her post!

@Ellsbells112 ah ok. Well I should be 2dpo so will keep an eye on it over the weekend. I'll be gutted if I haven't OV'd. Not going to lie a felt really deflated when I read that just then :(

OP posts:
mellymoo86 · 14/11/2019 19:20

@Skygirl1983 yeah I did. So I peaked in Sunday and dtd Saturday/Sunday (twice)/ Monday.

Hmm that's weird about the ewcm, says on YouTube that cm will change once implantation occurs, is it browny colour or anything? Some cases of early implantation has happened too, you never know..

Ellsbells112 · 14/11/2019 19:18

@Skygirl1983 yeah you catch it by making sure sperm is there beforehand that's definitely correct.

So with EWCM I researched that it needs to be gone within 4 days otherwise you have "tried" to ovulate without properly ovulating?? But if its below 4 days of ot then don lt worry because I also read that it can happen afterwards to sometimes

Ellsbells112 · 14/11/2019 19:15

@mellymoo86 okay cool so still early days! Obviously it feels like forever but it can take up to a year 🥺 as you know lol gah so annoying!

Anyway my low down I had the copper iud like 3 times over 5 years (i kept changing it every year and a half because I was getting bad pain) anyway been off it since April and was casually trying up till September when we have been tracking properly.
What I dont understand is I was in a relationship for 5 years a s teenager never got pregnant (never used contraception young and dumb) anyway then I got pregnant after 6 years and then after that i got pregnant again but didnt follow through with it! So I'm confused because I thought that I had "opened" that doorway so to speak (that's why I got an iud so no accidents) so thought it would just happen from then on! But it hasn't.

Hopefully it will soon though
I had a scan to see if I was having an ectopic last month and I scanned literally the day before ovulation and it was all fone ovaries good etc so I know it's all in working order no cysts or anything! Guess sometimes these things just take time! I'm 27 x

@mellymoo86 I though that you dtd over the surge ready for the egg release as you dont know when exactly it's going to happen. I believe you have a 24-36 hour window after the surge to ovulate. As long as theres something there for the egg to fertilise with that should be job done! That's why they say after OV it's pointless as it can take time for the sperm to meet the egg in the fallopian tube.

Have we lost @Louu99, this is why we need WhatsApp haha.

I'm having egg and beans on toast. I know that's odd and I'm craving Nutella again. My wedding weight is creeping back up.

mellymoo86 · 14/11/2019 19:11

@Skygirl1983 I did a opk as well just for the sake of it and it's blank. I peaked according to clearblue test on Sunday. Does ovulation last max 24 hours do you know? Because Monday night I cramped which made me feel like it was still ovulation 🤷🏽‍♀️ but didn't know it could last 48 hours

@Ellsbells112 I surged at the weekend which was bang on time to OV on monday. Had OV pain on Monday too which I normally got. So BD 3 times over the surge. Had negative OPK since Monday but still have EWCM so now I'm confused!!

@Ellsbells112 right here is the low down..

Been on the pill for like 10 years. Been off it for a year now but whenever I've come off it my cycles have returned back to normal. So 26-28 day cycles, ovulating window day 14-16..

This is my second month trying to conceive. I have tracked from day one and ovulation seems to come at the same time each month. I'm 33.

Give me your low down?

Ellsbells112 · 14/11/2019 19:01

@Skygirl1983 is your test the one that shows a surge 24-36 hours before? Because I'm confused, basically when you get a surge on your ovulation test do you then BD for 3 days?? I'm going to do it this cycle I want to get it correct

nt1992 · 14/11/2019 19:00
