OPK peak??

@Char899 eek!! I'm glad to see that an IC has picked it up! How are you feeling within yourself? So excited for you!

@Bouncytree @jessi60 hope you too are both okay? Of course, here I am CD 12... doing ovulation tests hahah! I've decided to follow the SMEP, although I've tried to DTD around ovulation, I feel maybe I've overdone it and maybe the sperm quality isn't so great. I do feel ALOT more relaxed this months and starting to think, what will be will be... Christmas soon so if it doesn't happen, At least we can all have a Christmas drink with our families (if we can see them all of course!)

@Pollyell hiya! Have you tried the Premom app? It's pretty good with keeping them all together! I said I wasn't going to track OPK this month, but decided to do the officia SMEP plan so thought I'll track! I've just tried to be a lot more relaxed with it! I have 35 day cycles so normally ovulate day CD 21/22 so maybe expect your peak in the next couple of days? FX for you! Xx

Thanks for having a look at them @bouncytree. Annoyingly am only 3 months post implant removal and have only had one natural period so not sure how long cycles are going to be!

I definitely haven't had any tests that have been darker than control line but one on day 20 seemed very close. Will take some more tests tomorrow

My cm is quite stringy which it wasn't a few days ago, but not producing very much.

The joys!!xx

Hope you don't mind me jumping on! First month properly using OPK's

I am wondering if I'm having a "plateau" type peak (as per the pre mom link someone sent earlier in the thread). The line has been gradually darker and i was expecting it to build up to a positive this evening, surprisingly it is the faintest its been for days.

Any help/experience would be appreciated! X

Got a line on a 25miu yaaay! Do you think it might show on a digital now? I might get dh to grab one on his way home from work

@Bouncytree ah thank you ☺️ yeah feeling ok, little bit nauseous today and have been a little bit crampy on and off. I just wish I hadn’t tested so early because now I’ve gone from the worry of Am I pregnant to the worry of is it going to stick! Lol want to see the tests keep getting darker. I’ll do another later this afternoon after a 3-4 hour hold (if I can haha)
How are you feeling? Little break do you some good?
@jessi60 thank you ☺️

@Char899 eeeeek congrats! That’s amazing 🥳🥰 Xx

@Bouncytree I’m CD 12 today. Still low on ovulation tests, haven’t done one today yet though. Dtd twice on Saturday, missed Sunday and then dtd last night. My app has said high fertility on them days even though my ovulation tests were low, I think it’s just there’s a chance the sperm can hang around abit until I ovulate🤣 Won’t be able to dtd today as I don’t get in from work until stupid o clock but will try on Wednesday 🤞🏼 X

Ahh thank you @Rachel93x!! I am still in shock! So happy x

@Char899 OH MY GOD I AM SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 a huge congratulations!!!!!

Guys I think I just got my bfp!!!

@Rachel93x I’m going to try and hold out until Monday, I’ll be 10 dpo! If af doesn’t come first that is!

@Char899 I really feel like it is a chore 🤣 eeek, when do you plan on testing?

Ahh okay. I could never do the temperatures with doing a mix of day and night shifts 🙃x

@jessi60 yes I’m temping so that confirmed ov for me :) that’s why I carried on doing the opks, my temp didn’t rise after the surges which I put down to my body trying to ovulate but not actually ovulating. Temp spiked after the last surge which was 6 days after the previous one!

@Char899 With the three separate surges.. do you not know when you actually ovulated then? X

@Rachel93x isn’t it funny how we end up like DTD is some kind of chore to tick off the list 😂
@jessi60 I was the same I had no clue when I ovulated and so glad I did the opks this month or I would have missed it after having 3 separate surges days apart!

I’m seriously symptom spotting today! Had the weirdest dream last night, had af type cramps this afternoon (a little lighter than normal ones) I’ve had a thumping headache this afternoon, I’m gassy and I’m constipated (sorry tmi) haha it’s so annoying because all those things can be linked to af too! 8dpo tomorrow and I have to stop myself somehow from testing early!

@Rachel93x how long are your cycles normally? I’m only doing them so I have an idea if I even ovulate as it was my first period since my implant so I’m more intrigued at the minute 😂 xx

@Char899 AF had finally buggered off, so back to DTD 😂

How's things for you?

Oh I'm CD8 aswell @jessi60 - I'm trying to stay away this month and just going not stress myself out until after Xmas (I say this hahaha) xx

@Rachel93x@Char899 yeah 28 days. I started yesterday and done one today but obviously negative. CD 8 today. Nothing new to report, plodding along. Hope yous are doing okay X

How’s everyone doing today? Any exciting updates from anyone?

@Rachel93x I totally get that, it’s much better to try and be relaxed about it, no need to add more stress! I actually feel a little more relaxed this month for some reason, just taking the approach of what will be will be and concentrating on ds! Tww is dreadful as always though, but 6dpo tomorrow so getting there slowly lol
