@Bam27 @JTB123 no smiley for me all month either... I wonder what's going on..!

@JTB123 it's so frustrating! Only got the OPKs to prove to myself I ovulate so I could stop worrying and now it's making me worse! 😅
@acaciabluebell just done another test and line looks a little darker I think but not sure. Did you have to wait the full 10 mins for the line to appear?
Also did a digital and still no static smiley

JTB123 · 05/07/2020 19:26

@Bam27 no positive OPKs for me yet either 🤞🏻😫

@Daffodil21 was just for me for fertility clinic but will have to be both of us now just double the problem but won't give up ! X

acaciabluebell · 05/07/2020 11:10

@Bam27 Whenever I tested in the morning it was always light! Even on the day of my peak, the morning test was lighter than the previous day. Afternoons are much better and its also better if you don't drink much so your pee is concentrated.

Bam27 · 05/07/2020 11:00

@hampshirerose34 I'm really sorry to hear that 💐 I've read lots about sperm quality and quantity and I think it can be improved through lifestyle changes and supplements. Might be worth looking into. Wishing you the best of luck 💕

Bam27 · 05/07/2020 10:55

@acaciabluebell no progression yet! Will test again a bit later. Hope it happens soon! I'm worried I won't ovulate. Almost think the line was lighter this morning and CB digital not picking anything up yet either. I'm getting so stressed about it 😅

@hampshirerose34 oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that Thanks

What are your next steps? Ignore that question if you want to x

So DH seamen test came back very low under 2million so we are going to lay off trying for a while and chill out so I wish you all well on your journeys and good luck for the BFP xx

acaciabluebell · 05/07/2020 10:12

@Bam27 Looks great! Any progression since then? In my case when I saw a line like that, I immediately got a positive the next day - so it can happen very quick.

JTB123 · 04/07/2020 18:05

@Bam27 that's good! Hopefully it will get darker then! I'm CD15 and still waiting for anything visible on the cheap OPKS 😩 I have to literally squint to see the lines I have now!
I have on CD13 something that looked like a really small amount of EWCM but nothing since then!

Bam27 · 04/07/2020 15:23

I've now got a clear second line on the cheap opk but not enough yet for static smiley on CB! Hope it happens soon! I'm on cycle day 22! Glad there is a clear second line now was starting to worry I wasn't going to ovulate.

@JTB123 I think every other day should be enough 🙂

JTB123 · 04/07/2020 11:52

So I'm in my first TWW now... altho I don't think I've ovulated yet so going to carry on DTD every other day I think, will this be enough to catch any peak? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

SC1989 · 03/07/2020 18:40

@SaraVB oh actually just realised it's 7 pints. Oh ok less bad haha!

SaraVB · 03/07/2020 18:16

@SC1989 I thought it was quite a lot hahaha

hampshirerose34 · 03/07/2020 18:11

@acaciabluebell my body did that to me this month and lied !! AF came don't trust it x

SC1989 · 03/07/2020 15:26

@SaraVB oooh interesting fact with the units, I will pass that info on to him. Not sure he will be best pleased haha

acaciabluebell · 03/07/2020 14:14

My nipples/boobs hurt already...I know it can't be a preg symptom (I'm only 2dpo according to OPKs etc), but now I'm worried/paranoid that it was all wrong and it's PMS and my period is gonna come soon?! 😭 I'm on CD22, this is normally when PMS symptoms start for me....

ALew15 · 03/07/2020 13:32

@SC1989 @SaraVB what are we like! 😂 I knew it was too early but thought there may be a slight chance I was one of those people that gets the faintest line at 9/10 DPO.... I'm not that person 😂
@SaraVB af due some point next week, apps saying from Monday-Wednesday but who knows!
@SC1989 im not a big drinker anymore, always been more of a binge drinker and with no nights out at the moment I've totally cut it out.

Bam27 · 03/07/2020 13:24

@SC1989 I only drink just after AF and then it will only be 1-2 G&Ts it's like my little treat to cheer me up a bit. When it gets closer to ovulation time I don't drink at all. My OH hardly ever drinks anyway, and when he does it will only be 1 cider.

SaraVB · 03/07/2020 13:13

@SC1989 I asked him to do so some research on what was a healthy amount. According to the NHS - "Your partner should drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, which should be spread evenly over 3 days or more."
