TTC AUGUST (Fertile window mid august!)

@Kg87 Ooh that changes things! Haha, but on the other hand, I've had a few false positives in the past so I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. I might well be pregnant (just had to come back to bed with a headache and thinking I'll have a nap) but not sure that test really indicates anything 🤣 I do keep taking it out and looking at it though.... a gal can dream!

@somanystars I know what you mean! I think if you get a negative now it doesn’t hit as hard! Oo but that sounds promising!! A friend of mine got a positive at 7DPO and now you’ve done one I’m so tempted haha 😂

@stepmumSW5 I used the CB advanced in the mornings and only ever got flashing smileys until I ran out and I used the cheapie OPKs from around 11am-8pm testing 2/3 times a day. I’ve only got a positive LH 2 out of 3 cycles and they were at 1pm cycle 1 and 2pm cycle 3. I completely missed cycle 2 LH surge as I wasn’t testing during the day at the time

@Kg87 I kinda feel like it satisfies the urge a bit without any of the expectation because it's still so early! Mind you I had another look at mine and there's a wee evap line on it now. It's way outside the time and I couldn't even get a positive this early but I'm choosing to believe it's a good sign hahaha

@somanystars haha I may do the same when I get home from work later! I ordered some cheapies last Tuesday that still haven’t arrived so maybe that’s a sign I should wait although I have 2 cheapies left and a FRER at home 🙈

What time are you guys testing with cheapie opks? I feel like my lh is really low in the afternoon but darker with fmu. However the pack days to test between 11am and 5pm. Any thoughts?

@Kg87 Oh yeah I did an IC this morning haha so don't worry, I get it! Negative, obviously, but I wasn't expecting anything else! Going to pick up some FRERs today though to use on Friday!

@somanystars Yeah it’s so hard isn’t it! I’m constantly comparing symptoms, I’m worried my boobs feel completely fine but I know everyone is different. Dying to test today but I’m trying to hold back 😂🙈

I'm 9 DPO I think
AF due Friday/Saturday
Fighting the testing temptation

So real symptoms other than more sensitive nipples😂 but that could just be AF coming

My plan is to test Friday morning before I go to work -- as long as AF hasn't turned up anyway !

@Kg87 7DPO here too! Haven't noticed any 'wet' feelings but I've seen them talked about quite a lot which makes me feel worried that I don't have that haha 😩 But then equally I think about those people who post their BFPs having had no symptoms at all and I feel a bit better!

Welcome newcomers!

@jennaxc yeah I had cramping which has completely disappeared now, although I’m only 7DPO. When are you going to test?

Anyone else feeling really ‘wet’ down there? This just started yesterday (6DPO) for me and I’ve read mixed reviews on what it could mean but it seems like it could be a good thing?

Hi all, hope it's ok to join.

I'm on 10dpo, I went through 3 days of cramping and nausea but fine and feel normal again today. Has anyone had similar? I'm hoping it's not a bad sign that it's stopped...

@Monday55 yayy thank you. When will you start testing?

@stepmumSW5 welcome! I'm currently CD6 so not far behind you.

My opks arrived 2days ago and I've ordered preseed off amazon arriving Sunday 16th.

@RMarieClaire hiya! Yep I’m in the south east too and it was horrendous, nearly didn’t DTD on our last fertile day because of the heat! Fingers crossed the effort pays off lol

Can I join? Just went through the worlds hottest fertile window. Anyone else? We're in the south east and it was horrific.

Managed to dtd lots despite the heatwave, last time was yesterday morning. Frustratingly had ovulation pains today, and can't dtd because OH feels he doesn't have it in him 😂 so worried that after all that we'll miss our window!

Oh well, we'll know when we know.

@Roelav1 yes it could be, but there could be other explanations. FX though - so hard to know with symptoms. You'll only know when when you get that BFp

@HollowayL30 fingers crossed for you.

@Roelav1 it could be. With my first I had cramp type pains 7 days after ovulation and I was disappointed thinking it was my period.

Hello

Can i join?

I'm cd8 and have just started the daily opks.

Hey everyone, I am now 5/6 DPO and last night I woke up with mild cramps (Felt like period cramps) bit unusual, only lasted for maybe an hour and then it stopped. wondered if anyone else has experienced this, could this be implantation cramps?

Hi, I'm new to the group too!
I'm 36 and have a son who is 4. This is our second cycle trying for baby number 2. My Clearblue Advanced Digital test came back low for 4 days (I didn't test on CD 8-9), then I had a flashing smiley yesterday and static today. I think not testing early has messed up the results as I had EwCM on my low days. Do you think this could happen? My husband just thinks it will happen and doesn't know how much of a military operation it is with all the tests. Even though I have no reason to worry about from age against me, I really worry we won't be able to have another baby. Does anyone else have these irrational fears?

@Pinkiii Hi!! I'm in the same boat TWW now! Hoping this month we managed to do it and it sticks this time. X

Hello to the newcomers

I’m on my 2WW now. Good luck to everyone else.

Hoping for lots of positives soon

@RoxyMcRoxFace @HollyWell welcome!!

@EmmaAM haha I’ve been trying not to think about mine in the cupboard, really going to try and not use it until next Thursday. I’ve been having twinges in my lower stomach and spikey shooting pains in my left boob 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hey @HollyWell welcome!

I'm also 2nd cycle. I actually used OPKs and vitamins for the first time this month and turns out I had my ovulation completely wrong! It's completely each time their own though as I think when using opks sex can become a chore.
