OPK peak??

@Char899 I'm good, how are you doing? How are you feeling?🥰

I think I'm 1DPO, although still high readings so likely to be ovulating today at some point 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 who knows anymore! But DTD as much as possible!

How are all you lovely ladies doing?
@Bouncytree how’s the tww? What dpo are you now? Any symptom spotting?
@Rachel93x are you in the tww now? I’m guessing so going by your opks!

@Bouncytree I know, it's certainly nice to know everything is going in the right direction 😂

I'm going to say 2 weeks time going by the positive OPK I've just had?! I'll keep testing again this evening & then again tomorrow!

How are you getting on with the TWW?? Hope you're not stressing yourself out too much!!🙊

Thanks @alisont13, will do that next time. I only got premom app well into my cycle. Have had stark negatives last 4 days which I took to mean that was probably my peak. Will soon find out!

[quote Pollyell]**@bouncytree* thank you for asking. I got premom app as advised by @rachel93x* (thanks! I'm doing SMEP too btw). I plugged my tests in retrospectively and it thinks my peak was day 20. Which makes sense as I had a gripping tight pelvic pain yesterday evening. Think I'll still DTD a few times if DP isn't too exhausted!![/quote]
Your tests seem old and the color of the T/C lines changed totally. In this case, the app may read the tests wrongly and I'd recommend you take picture of the result during the reading time frame.

Good luck 🤞 I hope you get some good news real soon.

I got another flashing smiley face on clearblue this morning cd12 🙈. I would love some good news before Christmas.

I'm doing good thank you! Miss 'I'm not tracking this month' lasted long but I've definitely calmed it down this month just doing 1 a day.. I'm pretty sure it will be CD21 for me and ovulating this month!

Omg it feels like that TWW has come round so fast! Fingers crossed this is your month for you BFP 🤞🏻

Day 5 of a smiley flashing face on the clearblue advance. We have quite an active sex life so DTD isnt a problem but a 5th day???? Let's see what the next couple of days bring.

My husband is so excited weve been together over a decade and travelled the world, hence only just trying now teenage sweethearts so this is a very exciting step for us.

Do you thinking sticking to every other day to DTD is too much? I'm almost at the stage of stopping the testing and just seeing what happens.

AMAZING. Congratulations @Char899

This is going to be our month, I am feeling positive and trying not to get obsessed. My next period is due 11th December and i have promised myself not to test early and be disappointed again i am just going to see what happens on and around that date.

@gln1989 I DTD the day before ovulation, the day of ovulation and the day after and I got my bfp at the weekend so I wouldn’t listen to that advice personally!

I am currently on cycle day 10! My cycles are normally 32 days but my period was 3 days early last time meaning it was only 29 days not 32?

My period wasn't as it normally is either. We have decided to just enjoy the trying but i was so confused when I had a flashing smiley face on cd8.

I have also heard that the deed should be done on the day of ovulation and to avoid the day before and after................? So confusing!

@Bouncytree Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. You’ve made me feel better. Think I’m being too harsh on myself and just need to relax a little. We dtd last night, although don’t think any of particularly were feeling up for it. Going to to leave it a couple of days now and maybe resume at the weekend. Xx🥰🥰

@gln1989 how many days are your cycle? You can get the flashing smiley for like 5 days in some cases and then onto a solid which might mean you ovulate on CD 14 or 15 which isn’t too early? X

Ladies, I need your help.

I have been TTC and I decided to start testing early this month in case I missed it last month (i only started to test when "flo" app said it was my fertile window last month) . Strangest thing happened, finished my period on Saturday and tested from Monday

Monday I got a solid circle on Clearblue ovulation meaning I wasn't in my fertile window
Tuesday, Wednesday and today I got a flashing smiley face meaning I'm in my fertile window a week early??! I'm scared to take a pregnancy test in case I get a BFN result again. Has anyone experienced this?

I just don't know what is going on and if i am going to peak early as today is only CD10 - I have ordered some different ovulation test from amazon called Femometer which has 50 LH test strips and 20 HCG test strips so i will see what they come back with compared to the clearblue results.

@bouncytree thank you for asking. I got premom app as advised by @rachel93x (thanks! I'm doing SMEP too btw). I plugged my tests in retrospectively and it thinks my peak was day 20. Which makes sense as I had a gripping tight pelvic pain yesterday evening. Think I'll still DTD a few times if DP isn't too exhausted!!

@Rachel93x thank you! I got a positive on a digital last night so feels really real now. I’m really nauseous the last couple of days so that’s not fun but otherwise all good! How are you getting on?

I was planning on following smep too but as you know I missed the lead up due to my late ovulation! I ended up DTD on the day of my peak, the day after (day of ovulation I assume) and the morning after! Not going to lie was a little sore after that 😂 but hey! It worked!

@Rachel93x Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I’m on another thread aswell and a couple are pregnant and it’s so lovely and then every single other person has blazing positive ovulation tests and it’s just hard to read. You can’t help but compare yourself to others😔 feel like the odd one out just plodding along😂
My job doesn’t help I work day and night shifts- 13 hour shifts. So I leave the house at 6am and don’t get back until half 9 at night sometimes later and the last thing I want to do is have sex sometimes😂 what a bloody first world problem to have ey. Never mind. I’ve ordered some different test strips because someone commented and said they didn’t look very clear\blurry so some more will get delivered tomorrow. I think I’ll carry on doing them to get an idea of things.
Like you say, it doesn’t happen Atleast I can have a drink over Xmas 🤪 X

@jessi60 sorry to hear you're having a hard time with it, I think we always beat ourselves up so much with it! I get myself in a huff sometimes about it, then have to remember it's only month 3/4 of trying and healthy couples can take up to a year!

It's really hard to give advice when I know how fed up you're feeling; we're all good at giving it but we don't even listen to our own advice 😭

Maybe try to concentrate on getting the cycle back to normal after coming off the pill before thinking of ovulation for TTC, whilst trying to DTD every other day if possible but try not to stress yourself out! Although, I FULLY know it's not just they easy! If you dont ovulate by CD23, then I'd start to be concerned but maybe you'll have 35 day cycles instead of 28 days? Just means you'll ovulate CD21ish - give it take a day!

In CD 12 today, I'm just going to do 1 a day hope to see the peak by CD21!

Hoping you soon see the peak on the OPK 🥰

@Bouncytree Yeah don’t think my app will be the most accurate because it’s my first cycle after my first period. X

@jessi60 Hey I’m okay thank you. Was in abit of a mood yesterday with everything, being an absolute drama queen when in reality this is my first month of trying after my first period. Still doing daily OPK testing but still reading low 😔 my app has me down as peak fertility and to ovulate tomorrow but it isn’t reflected in the testing. Also not had any CM either so don’t know what’s going on 🤷🏻‍♀️🥺 being trying to do dtd every other day but it’s doing my head in having to do it at a planned time. But don’t know whether it’s pointless dtd this early if my ovulation tests are low or just waiting until they peak abit more. X
