Thou will not get stressed.

Thou will symptom spot casually and not obsessively.

Thou will not test before 12dpo.

@ss123456 how heavy are you bleeding? Implantation can happen as late as 12dpo so definitely possible if it's only light bleeding!

SS123456 · 14/07/2020 07:09

So I started bleeding yesterday (11dpo) but strangely my BBT has not dropped 🤷🏻‍♀️. Am I kidding myself that it could be late implantation?

Oooo @LeopardLover so af hasn’t arrived yet? Fingers crossed it doesn’t! The pink tinge could be implantation?

@claireb707

I'd say it's very close *@Birnam* but yes get the femometer app.

I use the flashing smiley ones (clear blue digital advanced) and they pick up 2 hormones (oestrogen and LH) so give you bigger heads up of ovulation so give you longer and therefor better chance of getting his swimmers to your egg ready for ovulation rather than just 24 ish hours like the ones you've got

The app is great, love it. Realised later on that I didn't send a pic with today's result, i did think it looked different! Today's was a lot darker - darker than the control line - so think peak was today 😃 good luck to everyone, I love reading people's positive stories etc on here

@Fraanne It totally is for some people! I always know when I ovulate because I bleed. Well, I think I know...we'll see if I get pregnant with that method :p

Fraanne · 13/07/2020 21:17

@Alyosha I didn’t even know that’s a thing? I’ve never spotted other than a few hours before my period! I will probably put it down to that and be on the tww!

whambam89 · 13/07/2020 21:14

@leopardlover I suppose so!

Isn't it funny how optimistic we are for others but never ourselves 🙈

LeopardLover · 13/07/2020 20:49

@Boc86 So annoyingly the slight tinge of pink in ky CM never came to anything! I've had awful cramps for 3 days so I think AF will begin overnight. I'm ready for the next cycle now 😅

@whambam89 Same symptoms doesn't mean things won't change tomorrow, or the day after! 🙏🏻

whambam89 · 13/07/2020 20:33

@krj2608 I think it's so hard to not symptom spot. I'm pretty convinced that I'm out considering my symptoms are so similar to last month's but it still hasn't stopped me from googling "lower backache 7dpo" "white cm 7dpo" ... Everyone keeps telling me not to think about it but how do you not think about it??

But yes, it is too early to test... Try and wait until Friday! Surprisingly, I'm not tempted to test at all.

krj2608 · 13/07/2020 20:27

@whambam89 @Boc86

Evening!

I'm major symptom spotting today, please remind me it's too early to test (6/7dpo). Sense of smell seems up, cannot stop drinking, currently on cuppa tea no.6 and also downed around 8 pints of water today (not sure if it's a symptom!). Feels very similar to last months Chemical x

Alyosha · 13/07/2020 20:26

@Fraanne could be some old blood from ovulation? I always spot around ovulation.

Fraanne · 13/07/2020 20:08

Hi all, going to jump on this thread! Ttc number one this will be month 2! I had the smiley on Friday and literally been doing the deed most of last week (tmi sorry!)

I have gone to the loo today and I have brown cm?! Anyone else know what this could be! No way it can be implantation- I don’t want to think too deeply but sort of thinking is it a good sign!? But then could be a bad sign

Boc86 · 13/07/2020 20:05

I’m also having identical symptoms to last month where I think I had a chemical
Mine are currently progesterone symptoms as I’m only 4dpo but it’s hard not to read too much into it!

whambam89 · 13/07/2020 19:58

Weird twinges in my lower back tonight... I recorded back ache last month at 8dpo so possibly the same but who knows. I basically had all the symptoms last month so trying not to read into anything too much

Boc86 · 13/07/2020 19:37

Aww no sorry af arrived @LeopardLover
@Birnam I love the premom app for inputting opks, is day that’s almost there, I don’t think it the test line quite matches the control line but sooo close!

claireb707 · 13/07/2020 18:30

[quote Birnam]@claireb707 thank you for this, that's really helpful. The app tells me I'll be ovulating tomorrow. Seems like a really cool app![/quote]
Good luck!!

@krj2608 oh cool! I didn't know about that, will give it a go. Thank you!

krj2608 · 13/07/2020 17:05

@Birnam

First time using these, do we think ovulation day is the last one (today?). Not sure!! 🤔
If you download the femometer app it can scan it and tell you! Life saver for me! @Birnam
Birnam · 13/07/2020 16:45

Also, those of you using the tests with the flashing smileys, is there a benefit to using those compared with the ones I have used? The ones I have seem pretty simple and straightforward to use but intrigued to know what additional features the others have, they sound a bit more intelligent maybe? Smile

whambam89 · 13/07/2020 14:08

@mm26 fingers crossed for you!

I got my static on the 5th so ovulated on the 6th (7dpo today), managed to DTD day 1,3,5 & 6 of the FW so fingers crossed but no symptoms yet. My LP is usually only around 10 days so should have a good idea in the next few days although I'm not feeling positive for some reason.

mm26 · 13/07/2020 13:55

@whambam89 that's what I'm thinking. Yeah I think we're just about covered. Annoyingly, the day I think would have been before ovulation we both fell asleep before we got the chance! But over all we've managed every 2/3 days, so fingers crossed! I think AF should be due on the 22nd now due to the app changing things around.
How are you getting on this month? I've not managed to totally keep up with the thread as I was away for a while!
