Hi! Hope you don't mind me jumping in, I just wanted to ask @HopefulRobertsons66202 a quick question :) was that a static smiley or flashy? I've had 7 days of flashing smilies so far and I'm getting a bit fed up!

Wow that’s a long time @Newbie0818, have you taken a pregnancy test just in case?

@HopefulRobertsons66202 🥳whoop whoop!

Finally!

@Skyla01 I have no idea! Last months cycle was 46 days long. I’m not testing at all until I’m significantly “late”, whenever that will be...

@Runnergirl1 there’s hope, I got a positive opk at cd27 once so you never know! I haven’t tracked, though I think it MAY have happened on the 14th based on cm and cramps. I’m also wondering if the cramps I had a day ago were ovulation, really really late ovulation. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m just going to keep waiting haha

@Positivetime if you are using the clear blue ones then a positive may not come for around CD14 /16 or so if you are a cycle of around 28/30 days maybe & it takes a couple of days to “learn” your base levels of hormones I think. So if your apps are saying it’s your fertile window it’s likely they are going from a lot earlier, mine does CD8.

@Newbie0818 keep going xx

@Littlebump2018 I haven’t done it enough for my DH to “get it” but that’s great! Get on it! Or him! 😂😂

@Newbie0818 - I take my hat off to you I’m cd22 and beginning to lose all hope of ovulating.

I hate this waiting game and that’s not even for pregnancy test - don’t know how I’ll cope with that lol

Hi all so I finally used the OPK first thing today but it didn’t do anything on the first one. I think I was being silly and didn’t click it on properly.

I tried again but got a low fertile sign. I’m assuming cos that was not the FMU.
According to my apps my fertile window should start tomorrow but my period was 5 days late last week. Do you think that it is likely I won’t get a static smiley for a while?

@Littlebump2018 Exciting!!

@MrsLBear If I feel like there could be a chance I will test when I am maybe 4 days late as I'm usually quite regular. Other than that if I feel I can hold on (unlikely!) I will try to wait a week if I can. I don't want to assume because I am late it means it has worked, I know I will only set myself up for disappointment and trying to not go all crazy so soon 🤣

@MrsLBear thank you! My partners face lit up when I said I a had a static smiley hahaha. I guess he knows he's in luck today 😂

@Ltay2 yeah I haven't got any either and I am determined not to buy any until I am actually late which will be 5th May. I have wasted so much money on them and I think testing early rarely shows anything anyway. Let's hope I can stick to it. When are you planning on testing?

Woo for the static @littlebump2018 I actually get excited when I see that. The only positive I see haha. Wishing you lots of luck!!! Get DTD 😛😛😛

@popcorndiva time to get busy! Same for us too. Hope it's a super egg we are laying this month!

@Ltay2 def know what you mean- I went mad last cycle! This time I'm not going to count the days or work out exactly when AF is due, hope that might stop the fixation...

@Newbie0818 so frustrating! Remind me- any inkling of when AF might be due? What has your longest cycle been?

CD13 (unlucky for some) but I got my static smiley on clear blue digital!!! I'm so excited 🙊

CD39 😒

@MrsLBear Glad it's not just me, and we are similar in dates so can wait it out together! I haven't even bought any pregnancy tests and not allowing myself too until after I know AF is late as that way I can't give in to temptation and test early even if I want to!

@Ltay2 I feel your pain. 1dpo I was like I got this and now 4dpo I am feeling more anxious every day. The wait is a killer!!!!

So today I am on 2DPO and already 'over' the TWW, how am I going to get through the next 12 days 🤣

@Adrianoska I always feel most positive around ovulation and then hopes start to fade... I am 99.9% certain your argument will not affect your chances so don't worry!

@Adrianoska I know what you mean. It's an emotional roller-coaster that's for sure. Fingers crossed for you.

Thank you so much ❤️ we made up of course. But I feel pain in my tummy and I am certain that it didn't do any good to be this upset/mad.

Oh ffs... Every month I think this one is the one and then as soon as ovolution is gone I start having doubts.

I can't wait for my BFP

That would be nice @Sausage1990!

Chin up @Adrianoska you will not have hurt anything. Try to relax as much as you can, which I know is hard, as stress and worry are just as harmful as anything. You will be fine 🌸

@adrianoska if people can get pregnant during wars I'm sure a spat with your OH is fine! Positive thoughts my love - you'll get your sticky bean soon!

@Adrianoska it’s made of sterner stuff than that!! Worrying about worrying is probably worse! So have a cuddle and make up was more my thoughts, get back on track 🥰

I am not worried about the lack of BD last night (2dpo anyway), just all the stress and tears that could "destroy" my egg or something? Xxx
