@candycrush2298 but I'll be a big spherical balloon I don't want to BD when I am fat, bloated and feel shit. I'd just want to eat :D (although knowing my luck I'll probably get gestational diabetes)

@NamechangeTTC oh ok. And yes you can ovulate 12-36hours after peak test but the pains can start before and last up to a few days so its possibly an indication that ovulation is impending.

@Elakiya whahahahaha oh my goodness just spat out my water reading that no bd during pregnancy you are freaken hilarious!! Thank goodness he doesnt google everything like us 🤣🤣🤣

And I bet he is feeling like a boss hahaahaha!!! Well done for being such a trooper and getting all this bd in hahaha do you think you will make it again tomorrow?

@NamechangeTTC I think @candycrush2298 might be right, if you're pee is diluted the peak doesn't show up as much although your 10.05 test looks like the test and the control line is of the same darkness. Unsure if that's just the picture?

Elakiya · 04/08/2020 17:55

@candycrush2298 Need to get some BD in today but super busy work wise and really tired as well. But I am still peaking so I better get some in .

so I've been tracking BD over my cycle

Cycle 1 of ttc = BD = 12 days cycle length = 34
Cycle 2 of ttc = BD = 10 days cycle length = 29 days
Cycle 3 of ttc = BD so far = 6 days cycle length predicted at 32 days lol

Hubby is very lucky lol. He asked if we're allowed to BD when pregnant and I told him it's bad for the baby lol!

NamechangeTTC · 04/08/2020 17:44

I’ve worked throughout so never test but I’m on leave. No idea how I’ll test next cycle.
Really stabby pain which logically can’t be ovulation but I’m now like 👀👀👀

@NamechangeTTC I know I have been working from home before I used to only test at night and first thing in the morning which is obviously really bad to test with fmu so hence my night tests were always darker lol

NamechangeTTC · 04/08/2020 17:08

Jeez I need to up my game. I dunno how I’ll manage this at work I just happen to be off this week!!

@NamechangeTTC oooooh really?? I thought they were the cheap green ones like ebay specials lol!!!!

Hahaha ok well that could explain why your tests are rapidly changing. Yeah what I do is drink a cup a tea and then nothing more go for two pees between 8am and 9am and to get rid of the tea and then start my 2 hour hold so for me its like 3hours no drinking so that I get the best results.

NamechangeTTC · 04/08/2020 16:57

@candycrush2298 they are the femometer ones just this pack changed from pink to green. Unsure why. Same packaging etc.

I don’t manage two hours no fluid I’m like a camel. Will attempt now.

@Boc86 ahhhh nooooo I have never had a migraine so I dont know how painful they are what a pity about the BD hope you feel better soon.

@NamechangeTTC oooooh I dont like those green strip opks. I thought you meant you were using the femometer tests but I see now you are only using the app ok.

Do you hold your pee with no fluids for 2 hours each time you take the test? Fluids dilute the concentrate. Also peaks can have rapid onsets and rapid offsets. A surge can last a few days or few hours so yes its totally normal. Dont worry about it xx

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 04/08/2020 16:30

I need some of @Boc86 and your peak vibes.

NamechangeTTC · 04/08/2020 16:29

Is it normal to go high to peak to high again in a 6 hour space? Worried I’ve not peaked enough 😭

Boc86 · 04/08/2020 16:09

Well a migraine has written off my day so no bd
I bd yesterday and got a peak opk
Although today it’s an even stronger one so that’s my peak 🤷🏼‍♀️ And I’ll bd tomorrow which would be ov day if today’s the peak so hopefully that’s ok

We’ve been doing it daily, DH can’t believe his luck. I’ve warned him this won’t last!

Just got a peak!! Femometer says 112%

candycrush2298 · 04/08/2020 13:26

@NamechangeTTC lol yeah its best not to track your CM the day after BD and if you doing it everyday then yeah throw the CM checking out the window its not reliable when semen is involved lol!!!

Also doing the legs in the air but only for like 20 minutes because I get bored lol.

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 04/08/2020 13:08

I might have to try that. Currently legs in the air for 30 mins and then a horrible residue for 24h
Now getting confused whether it’s cervical mucous or his stuff 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Boc86 whoohoo thats fantastic!! Really pleased to hear it best get on that BD train lol!!!

@NamechangeTTC @Boc86 is also using the femometer ones they look fab!! Sounds like you are getting there slowly.

Great stuff hahaha yeah you can chat with us nothing is TMI anymore.

As for the ick lol!! I have just started to use a menstrual cup after BD so the ick is inside the cup, one pull and its out and in the toilet whahaahahahah!!!

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 04/08/2020 12:23

@Elakiya and @candycrush2298 I’m using the femometer ones. It told me 49% today but that was FMU. I couldn’t wait 😂

I’m happy with anyone to chat to regardless of date.

Getting over the ick of TTC is new. We’ve always used a barrier method so I’m not enjoying the aftermath....

@NamechangeTTC welcome. What OPKs are you using and when did you start taking them?

Unfortunately only actually 1 or 2 of us are due around 20th of August lol since I just name the thread that so we can find each other again I am due on Sunday or Monday but please stay if you dont mind us all being scattered in where we are on our cycle lol!!

@Elakiya well if its normal for you then yay at least you know where you stand and you having another normal cycle lol!! Hmmm interesting to get twinges both sides you never know that could be those twins you are after 🤣🤣

Watery cm is very good and a lot of it is very very good.

OP posts:
Boc86 · 04/08/2020 11:35

Oh I’ve got a higher peak today that yesterday’s peak so I guess my peak is today!!
I’ve never had 2 days of positives
I pray this means my supplements are working and producing better eggs and raising that progesterone that I need

AF due 20/08 (thread 3)
Elakiya · 04/08/2020 11:31

@Kaybobx I am always like this lol! I always have 2-3 days of peaks. At least I know I am not missing my peak.

@candycrush2298 My peaks usually last 2-3 days. I had a twinge in my ovaries yesterday so thought I was ovulating yesterday but I have twinge again so unless I release eggs from both ovaries I have no idea lol!. I woke up with loads of watery CM as well so hopefully thats good.

@NamechangeTTC Welcome :) Fingers crossed that high becomes a peak soon. What tests are you using?

NamechangeTTC · 04/08/2020 09:35

Hello, hoping I can join. I’m due AF on 21st aug. This is our second cycle (first was March) as we stopped trying during the worst of covid19. Day 3 of my predicted fertile week, got a high yesterday. Any LH test tips?

Feel like I’m doing everything we can but not sure!!

Would love to have some buddies along the same time as me.
