I hope @littlebee1990 doesn't mind me starting a new thread as our old one was full...

Congratulations to @SK2970 who had just posted a positive test!

(Point me in the right direction if I've missed a new thread)

@Fran2020 that's promising and hopefully a sign of a BFP soon. I am also feeling exhausted but think that is down to other things. My wee rabbit hasn't been well so not slept great that last couple of nights due to getting up to check her . She picked her timing as fell ill the day I got my positive opk🤣maybe she is telling me she doesn't want a sibling 🐰 x

@1992EM So many things can be symptoms or can be happening for other reasons so it's hard to know! All I know is I don't feel right and I'm exhausted! 😩😂 oh dear, that's not good with the grapefruit juice! I've not tried that yet haha!

@mrswilso Thank you, but nope another bad nights sleep. 😴 how are you feeling?

@Littlebee1990 hmm that's so strange, I'm not sure what to suggest. Keep testing and definitely treat yourself this weekend.

1992EM · 17/07/2020 08:38

@mylittlebean Hopefully you get a static today 💕 how long are your cycles normally?

@littlebee1990 definitely deserve to treat yourself 💕

Littlebee1990 · 17/07/2020 07:47

HUGE temp drop today and not even a hint of a second line on the OPKS.. perhaps I did ovulate much earlier as the graph suggests and I missed it.. I am baffled!

@mylittlebean2019 Sometimes I wonder if we’re better just to have sex and not bother with all this tracking!

@1992Em Thank you, sure it’ll work itself out and defo gonna buy myself something!

@Littlebee1990 sorry to hear that. Looks like on your graph you have been DTD regularly so maybe you missed the surge but still caught the egg?

My ovaries are also messing me around. I just got my 8th day of flashing smiley 😫 I’m on CD21 and done the deed 7 times already. Not sure how much longer I can go for 😂 Also running out of CB sticks!! Hope I get that static tomorrow!

1992EM · 17/07/2020 06:07

@littlebee1990 Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you start to peak soon . Maybe your body is just taking a bit longer due to last month and you might have a longer cycle and ovulate late. Have everything crossed. Make sure to treat yourself over the weekend to something nice to try and take your mind off it 💕.

Littlebee1990 · 16/07/2020 23:29

Thanks ladies, so confused. Been testing since CD12 and not had a peak and it’s now CD17.. I’ll test for a few more days but I’m so so confused. No discharge at all either and no twinges and I can always normally feel it. Ive literally had ZERO CM this cycle, no dry, no creamy.. nothing. 😟 Hope your ovaries are behaving better than mine xx

Nottherealslimshady · 16/07/2020 22:04

Oh @Littlebee1990 I'm so sorry thing cycle is playing up, I don't have any answers but sending love and baby dust

mrswilso · 16/07/2020 21:53

@fran2020 I most definitely did! 🤣 hope you get a better snooze tonight 💕
@littlebee1990 argh I feel for you, just keep testing incase it creeps up on you later. Is the app maybe just going off your BBT pattern because it hasn't seen a peak yet and assuming ovulation?

1992EM · 16/07/2020 21:28

@Fran2020 oh that's good to know. I have bizarre sleep patterns though so not sure I will be able to use that as a symptom . The morning I felt sick but think it could be due to the grapefruit juice I had before bed. I made it into a smoothie tonight, which wasn't much better 🤣🤢 just downed it and hoped for the best .

Fran2020 · 16/07/2020 20:18

@1992EM I know insomnia can be a symptom so fingers crossed 🤞🏼That's good you had a night off haha!

@Littlebee1990 hmm very strange, what day did you start testing? I would keep testing as maybe it's delayed even more.

1992EM · 16/07/2020 20:13

@littlebee1990 what a shame 😔 keep testing just incase you get your peak later.

Littlebee1990 · 16/07/2020 19:57

@Fran2020 Confused! My OPKs never peaked and my app says I ovulated 3 days ago!! Makes NO sense at all, I’ve never ovulated CD14. So confused 😢

1992EM · 16/07/2020 19:31

@Fran2020 not sure about the symptoms. Hopefully it is pregnancy related. I have read that a few people feel very tired during the first 2 weeks. Fingers crossed.
We enjoyed the night off🤣.

Fran2020 · 16/07/2020 18:49

Hey everyone, how are you all? Approx 7DPO here and another bad nights sleep and felt exhausted today. As well as pretty rubbish. I've also noticed I have spots all on my left check and left side of my neck- does this mean anything? AF is due approx Thursday/ Friday next week but not sure when to test. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@1992EM did you and your partner enjoy the rest?!

@Littlebee1990 how are you today?

@mrswilso That's good you're feeling cautiously optimistic, I am feeling the same. It sounds like you've given yourselves a great chance. Did you have a night off in the end?!

@Kalecat yeah I agree with the others, say you're on antibiotics.

1992EM · 16/07/2020 18:32

@kalecat That is good going . Yes I agree just say your on antibiotics.

I am not due AF until 30th so will test then as like @nottberealslimshady I wouldn't believe it if it was BFN or BFP so no point 🤣.

Nottherealslimshady · 16/07/2020 18:20

@Kalecat your poor hubby! You're on antibiotics for a uti 👍

I'm due between Tuesday and Thursday, so testing friday if AF hasn't shown, not wasting money on testing early when I'll just tell myself it's not accurate if I get a BFN 😂

Kalecat · 16/07/2020 18:00

Managed to DTD last night for the last time lol... I don't think my poor DH will want to have sex ever again after 5 days straight 😂. I'm officially 1 DPO! When's everyone testing?
My AF is due 29th and we're going for holidays to my MILs house from 31st-9th..... if I get a BFP I'm worried about how I will hide it considering we drink wine almost nightly when we visit her, so she will definitely question me 🙈

Nottherealslimshady · 15/07/2020 22:31

@Kalecat now I'm questioning everything I've learned from doctor google! 😂

1992EM · 15/07/2020 19:51

@mrswilso we are also giving it a rest tonight. 4 days I'm hoping will be enough . I am back to a light line on opk and had twinges yesterday which I assume was ovulation.

Any advice on how to make grapefruit juice taste nicer? I have ordered a smoothie maker . Right now I'm downing a glass like a shot 🤣 i can't stand the taste.

Kalecat · 15/07/2020 19:06

Amidst my deep google searches about ovulating on left vs. right side, apparently left side gives you a girl and right side gives you a boy? 😂 quite odd as sex of baby can't be determined yet without being fertilized by sperm?
But if it's correct, I ovulated left side this cycle, and the idea of having a daughter first has always excited DH and I 😬

mrswilso · 15/07/2020 18:59

Thanks @1992EM - you too hun 💕
I'm doing good @fran2020 feeling cautiously optimistic 🤞🏻 we've definitely DTD at all the right times...although I think we'll be taking a break tonight, we done five in a row including the day after my highest peak, I'm back to almost baseline on the OPK sticks today...I dunno...surely it wouldn't hurt to miss tonight? I don't even think poor hubby's got anything left in him that would be of any use hahahaaa 😂
How are you getting on?

Kalecat · 15/07/2020 18:51

@DoctorBambino is that so? I definitely ovulated right side last month, and left side this month - in fact I feel the pain right now 😂 hopefully left side doesn't impact conceiving

1992EM · 15/07/2020 17:52

@nottherealslimshady 🤣🤣never even thought of that. That sounds promising. I haven't heard of that but good to have in the bank of symptoms.
