Hi all,

I joined a similar thread last month and found it really supportive. It’d be great to hear from others.

We’ve been trying for number 2 for two years now and each month gets more emotionally difficult. Xx

@Positevibes the C Blue ones are great, you don’t have to read the lines and avoid any doubt

@Skyla01 @Dogsandbabies I have tried the OPK twice today both times I had a line but it wasn't dark enough. I'm thinking I may of ovulated yesterday but I'm not sure so I'm going to do one more this evening and the tomorrow as well. Just see what happens x

Skyla01 · 01/05/2020 18:22

@Positevibes I would go by your opks. My Flo app is pretty accurate but I have regular cycles and have been using it for a while so it learns my cycle. The apps are usually not much use until they get to know you. Are you testing in the afternoon too? I used to use cb opk which were very easy to use but more expensive.

Guess I'm in the TWW now...! Not tracking closely this month but think I must have ovulated by now. Hope I don't go crazy like last cycle.

Dogsandbabies · 01/05/2020 14:21

@Positevibes I used OPKs last pregnancy and found that the app was always wrong as I seem to ovulate really early. I only realised when I used the OPKs every day immediately after my period ended. As soon as I worked that out I found myself pregnant within a month. I would definitely trust the OPKs more than the app.

Positevibes · 01/05/2020 12:56

@33Carr thanks I guess we'll get used to them. Who knew there was so much to think about.

@Juno231 hey again good luck

Juno231 · 01/05/2020 12:52

Oh can I hop on girls? AF is due on the 13th so will be testing then!

33Carr · 01/05/2020 12:50

@Positevibes I use OPKs but ha ent had much use/luck with them! I started last cycle but didn't get a positive, figured it was too soon after MC. I'm using them again now but not due to ovulate untill next week. Currently having very faint lines and assuming they will get stronger, not sure if they will ever be equally as dark as the control line though. I've seen others where they are equally as dark though. This probably doesn't help haha sorry

Positevibes · 01/05/2020 12:10

Does anyone use OPKs I'm so confused I have a line which isn't as dark as the control line so not positive even though my app says I'm ovulating today but does the line mean I have ovulated and it's getting weaker or I haven't yet and it's going to get stronger they are so confusing 🙄

Bailey93 · 01/05/2020 10:30

My fingers are crossed for everyone!
I'm only 6dpo but I kept waking up in the night really hot and just couldn't quench my thirst. When I woke up my urine smelt so strong! I guess I'm maybe dehydrated but almost feels like a UTI. Definitely fishing for symptoms but seems weird for me!

Sussexbysea · 30/04/2020 22:05

Welcome everyone. It’s so lovely to see so many people joining this feed.

I hope we can all share advice, ups and downs and even some funny stories.

I have everything crossed that this is the month for you. Whether you’re on cycle 1 of or cycle 101, we’re all in the same position, wanting the same thing.

If you can be anything, be kind 💗

Joining too if that’s ok :)

Month 5 of trying for number 2 - took about 9 months last time but I’m even less patient this time. Using Ovia from start but first month for OPK and Preseed.

Testing around 13th too and got my peak smiley face today.

Good luck to us all! x

Positevibes · 30/04/2020 22:03

Good luck every one I'm feeling very positive about May hopeful this thread will be full of positive tests in no time 🤞🏼

Dogsandbabies · 30/04/2020 21:53

Can I join too? We have decided to try for number 3 (for me, 2 for my partner). Took me years to get pregnant with my daughter who is now 8. My son was a lot quicker. He is now 10 months but as time is not on my side we decided to take the plunge and try again. First month TTC this round!

nlm82 · 30/04/2020 21:48

Hi Ladies
I am on month 1 of TTC due AF on 10th May according to the app but as I have never tracked before who know, not even sure if I was ovulating when the app said either so this may take a little longer than I thought x

serialplanner · 30/04/2020 21:32

@TitianaTitsling I'm new to all this but have seen people mention Ovia and Clue. I was resisting OPKs and just using my period tracker app that shows my fertile window and then we just decided actually OPKs are helpful. I got the clear blue kit as I'm too impatient to be reading lines but it's also really early days so we'll see if I keep the expense up!

Another poster said to me that's Apps are based on an algorithm so if I wanted to keep it casual do that but if I wanted to be efficient shall we way just accept OPKs.

We'll see this month of that advice works out🤞🏽

Also doing SMEP which is sort of just lots of sex every other day and then sex 3 days in a row when you get a positive OPK.

Hope that helps x

Lottie3093 · 30/04/2020 21:11

Thankyou!
Ive told him to stop being ridiculous and realistic, but secretly im going to test and hope I can give him his wish.

Good luck to you too. I feel your pain when it comes to being patient!

33Carr · 30/04/2020 20:56

@Lottie3093 Ahhh a BFP would be an amazing birthday present haha! Wishing you all the luck!

Lottie3093 · 30/04/2020 20:52

Heyy. Can I join!
We have been off contraception since Jan but just going with the flow and seeing what happens but Id say this is our first month of properly TTC using fertility lube, vitamins, OPKs etc. Even tho we wernt properly TTC prior to this I still cried for days when AF would arrive so this is it now!

Im hoping to use a FRER on the 13th May (i will be CD27 out of 29/30 so should pick a potential positive up) as its my partners 30th birthday and its all hes asking for!
Good luck all!

Sussexbysea · 30/04/2020 20:51

I ran out of ovulation sticks so can't test so we've just agreed to DTD twice today and the next couple of days I have to tell you girls I'm knackered already we were already at once a day for the last week. Is there such a thing as too much? ☺️

raspberryjamlove · 30/04/2020 19:34

Me too on sickness! Usually day of ovulation and day after I'm queasy and feel a bit rough x
