@SmileyT hey smiley I’m feeling better thanks. We’re redecorating our house and we’ve agreed every time af comes we are going to treat ourselves to something new as it will be that little bit longer before I’m on maternity leave. This month we’re getting new spotlights 😂😂 that’s my consolation prize.
Thanks for your kind words. My hubby does nights too when he’s working but it’s a shift pattern so it’s mornings, nights and afternoons on rotation. And yes when they work nights it’s tricky because they never feel up for it before work! Aw if tracking helps then go for it! I’m just going to wait and see for a little while. I know what you mean about feeling like a maniac. That’s why I’ve had to stop for a while. I’m obsessive anyway with things like that and I know I’ll be like a dog with a bone. Looking forward to ttc again though and will be keeping myself occupied with other thoughts in the mean time.
Any sign of af?? Xx

@TinaTurtle and yeah it is such an exploitation. You learn to shop around, amazon prime is a lifesaver! X

@SmileyT hopefully you won't need to buy anything for next month!!

@peonyrose87 haha glad you are getting on well! My partner is also loving this, haven't tols him it is a specific plan but last night he said to me - shall I book you in for thursday 😂 so think he has at least figured out the every other day thing.

I'm still waiting for my peak - having flashy smilies still and faint ICs.

@TinaTurtle (love your tag name btw) when 3 days in a row comes along it is going to be interesting for sure! Xx

@TinaTurtle haha, it is a lot!! Just trying to fit it in is tricky sometimes but we’re doing ok so far!

SmileyT · 13/05/2020 20:09

Welcome @TinaTurtle and I'm so sorry for your loss... wishing you loads of luck this month and I'm glad you've decided to join in our mad TTC chats 😊

@peonyrose87 ahh ovulation is so close for you... here's hoping you get a peak tomorrow, I feel like it's much more enjoyable if it comes on a even day so you've had a day off beforehand 😂

@Mommybear05 how are you feeling my lovely? I'm so glad that you're sticking to your plan as really feel like it made it more enjoyable last month for you, new cycle and new hope for you now, no looking back ❤️. If OH didn't work nights I'd be inclined to try not tracking, I say using 6 apps and tracking every single thing like an absolute maniac 🙈

Mommybear05 · 13/05/2020 20:03

@VP91x thank you for the new thread. Welcome to the newbies 👋

I’m cd4 (af got me this week 😭) this is now my 3rd cycle since mc at nine weeks in March. I was also breastfeeding my son until last month and that has been messing with my cycles too.

My strategy is just dtd every other day and then every day in the middle of cycle. Hubby on furlough. Will probably change tactic when he’s back at work and there’s less opportunity 😉 xx

TinaTurtle · 13/05/2020 20:00

@peonyrose87 well done on keeping up with the SMEP. I looked it up and was exhausted just reading about it.

TinaTurtle · 13/05/2020 19:54

Thank you @VP91x 😊. I'm using the digital OPK. They seem really clear and I love data (total geek), so look at the stuff in the app all the time. It's all so expensive though, isn't it. Total exploitation!

peonyrose87 · 13/05/2020 19:50

@SmileyT thank you! Yes, my app says on CD 14, but I’ve never tracked ovulation before so who knows! The lines on my OPK have been getting darker the last two days so 🤞

@VP91x thanks!! SMEP is going well, so far! My partner is delighted at all the action, haha! Testing is fine, although I can see it getting addictive!! How are you getting on?

VP91x · 13/05/2020 19:45

@peonyrose87 welcome 👋 ah, you're only a couple of days behind me. How are you finding SMEP and testing?

@tinaturtle welcome too ☺️ omg no, don't feel pathetic! Miscarrying is such an awful experience. I'm sorry you have gone through it so recently. Nice to see that you have had a reset and have ovulated again so hopefully you get another positive!! How have you found using CB? X

Hi ladies. I've never posted before but have been following your thread and just wanted to say the care, interest and support you give each other - and the great vibes and good humour you share - is awesome!

I'm very new to all this, so it's been so valuable to see I'm not alone!

I got PG at the first attempt and was so surprised that I never quite processed it. And then had MC at 5 weeks and 5 days on the 25th April. I feel a bit pathetic at being PG for so little time and a bit obsessed about getting PG again. I really miss it, despite the brevity! But I'm not overwhelmed. We are TTC straight away, as I'm 42. Using CB ovulation sticks and ovulated a few days ago.

The very best of good luck to all of you x

HE88 · 13/05/2020 19:37

@Sallyjo27 and @renna I've bought some cranberry juice never tried the tablets will look into getting some.

HE88 · 13/05/2020 19:34

Thanks @VP91x for adding me.

Hi to anyone new who has joined. Cycle day 24 here, 10 dpo, 3rd cycle after mmc but 2nd cycle of ttc #2. Been on a roller-coaster journey over the last 2 and half years ttc, really hoping I get my 🌈 baby soon. Xx

SmileyT · 13/05/2020 19:29

Thanks @VP91x I'm feeling like I've done everything I can this cycle but if it doesn't happen, gonna get loads of bits like the cup and calc flour to try next cycle 😂

@peonyrose87 welcome 🙏 are you expecting your ovulation this week?

peonyrose87 · 13/05/2020 19:14

Hi, can I join in? 👋 2nd cycle after miscarriage, CD 13. Doing SMEP and cheap OPK this month for the first time. 🤞 🤞

VP91x · 13/05/2020 19:05

Ahhh @SmileyT you have such willpower. Everything crossed you get those two lines when you do test 🤞🤞

Thanks for the new thread @VP91x 🤗

This months I've been following SMEP, tracking BBT and using CB and cheapie opks, 1st full cycle since MC in March 🌈❤️

CD25 - 11dpo and the day I want to test is creeping forward 😂

mumoftwobeauts · 13/05/2020 18:55

I'm on cycle 1 after stopping mini pill. 2dpo x

mumoftwobeauts · 13/05/2020 18:54

@VP91x thanks for starting the new thread!😊

VP91x · 13/05/2020 18:35

@Bellabubble that's so crazy. Yeah, so infuriating especially as I have been having ECWM for like four days now. I have had another dip in my BBT so hoping something is coming tomorrow or day after xx

@vp91 thanks for the new thread x

Bellabubble · 13/05/2020 18:27

@vp91x your ic opks look like mine - i go from nothing to a peak in less than 24hrs! It’s called a rapid onset. This cycle my LH surge started on CD14 early eve, the peak was midday of CD15, by early eve CD 15 it was already dropping, and by morn of CD16 it was back to being barely visible again!! It’s infuriating waiting for it isn’t it!!

2020wish · 13/05/2020 18:21

Yay to new threads.

I’m on cycle 5. 1st cycle after MC. I ovulated on cycle day 14 I believe. And now 2Dpo
