@Jazper thank you. So I had static on Friday and DTD Friday Sat and Sun so hopefully I'm covered. That wasn't an app, i got them from the FRER and CB websites. I'm sure the test is more accurate at predicting than the calendar alone.

chloedancer897 · 13/06/2020 16:48

@VP91x thank you. Is there an app or method you recommend? In case I need it for next cycle 😞

@chloedancer897 I mean, it isn't going to show you too much because you do it to see the shift from pre-ov to post-ov. But if you want to see so you can have the data then no harm in doing it 😊 xx

@VP91x no, I've never recorded it. If this month isn't the month, I will start next month. Is it too late to start now?

@chloedancer897 omg don't apologise ❤️ this is what we are here for! It can get so confusing. I'm finding those predictions on the apps are wrong more often than not. You got your static which is fab xx are you doing your bbt?

Congratulations @Niisa and @ttcin2020. Lovely news for you both.

@ManchNic, really sorry AF got you and you are struggling with it. Know that we all understand and try to keep positive. As I keep saying 'it will happen, it just might take longer'.

@chloedancer897, I'm not familiar with the app you are using but from what I can gather you got flashies wed and thurs just gone and peak Friday just gone? If that's the case, the closer to ov that you dtd the better. SMEP recommends every other day, then on the day of peak and two days in a row after. Don't be disheartened. Sperm can live for 5 days waiting around for the egg and it only takes one ☝🏼 ❤️

chloedancer897 · 13/06/2020 16:32

@VP91x thank you. Sorry, I've become completely obsessive now. I'm sorry for going on and on about it. Thanks again x

@chloedancer897 I would go by your static smiley! Those apps are always so off with their dates so pay no notice!! Your static smiley will be the best indicator of when you ovulated. You're definitely covered.

@ManchNic I'm so sorry AF has arrived, you will be a mummy again soon. This must be so hard especially after losing your little boy but, your time will come again. ❤️ Sending you so much love xxx

@ManchNic it’s always hard/impossible not to be disappointed. You can’t help but get your hopes up each month.

I’m sure you’ll be able to be a mummy again, be patient with yourself if you can, and keep positive.

I’m 34, and I think we can all get bogged down on age. But it can still happen. My sister is 40 and has fallen PG so there’s always hope xxx

HE88 · 13/06/2020 15:42

Oh I can see the line @ttcin2020 congratulations ☺️.
I really hope I'll be joining you and @Niisa ASAP! Xx

Congrats @ttcin2020 💐

ttcin2020 · 13/06/2020 15:29

@VP91x and @MichT4 thanks for your help I was sure my period was coming so thought ovulation must've been wrong!!

But this morning I'm 9dpo and awoke with the urge to test.. so did a cheapie and I swear I could see something. Opened a FREF and got this! It's more clear in real life, even my partner could see it!
Wish I hadn't tested so early though as I'm so wary it'll disappear 😬😬 xx

Congratulations @Niisa 💐

AF started for me today, not in full flow yet but started spotting yesterday & knew I was out for definite.

Every month I tell myself not to be so disappointed but every month I am. I miss my little boy so unbelievably much and just feel like I am never going to get another chance at being a mummy and to give my little girl a sibling.

I'm 40 in August and my little girl is 5 in two weeks, it just feels like the dream of another baby gets further & further away every month. Even if I get BFP there are no guarantees I'll end up with a healthy baby, but at least it's a start.

I'm sorry for the rant I'm just so fed up of being disappointed 😔 . Anyone else near/over 40? I know some are but I'm afraid I can't remember who. I read all of your posts but don't post too often. Grateful to have somewhere to say this though x

Hayleylou89 · 13/06/2020 15:25

Is you send @mumoftwobeauts ur phone number on here as a pm she will add u :) x

MichT4 · 13/06/2020 15:24

@Niisa I can’t believe you have the control to wait a week 😳😳
I’d be throwing the tests at my OH 😂

chloedancer897 · 13/06/2020 15:24

Guys, I need your help. I got my flashy smiley from CB on Wednesday and my static on Friday, so I DTD Tuesday-Sunday and again on wed. But now looking at these calendars, I don't think I've timed it right. What are you supposed to go by? Now I'm thinking I should have DTD Monday and Tuesday also going by both of these calendars? TTC is a blood minefield. I can't figure it out at all. No wonder I can't get bloody pregnant 😭

Please help me shed some light on this. You guys are experts!
