I was hoping a thread like this would pop up! Hope it's ok if I join. I'm 3DPO I think.

I've been using natural cycles app and that's predicted I ovulated Monday but my other period tracking app said Saturday. I used clearblue OPK advanced digital for the first time last Thursday (should have started testing earlier I know) and it come up negative and then Friday it said peak fertility so not really sure what to think.

@mommyofone2019 yeah I had a look on google and read it's common for some, I've never had it so hoping that it's a good sign 🤞 lol

Hi @Dreamer30 👋🏻

Hi ladies, can I join?
Ovulation was yesterday so I'm 1dpo but have noticed some pink discharge only when I wipe today and yesterday. Does anyone else have this when they ovulate? I've maybe not noticed before, feels like the older I get the worse symptoms I feel 🤣 my boobs kill now when I ovulate and they never used to lol

I am also 2dpo, I literally just putting a post up to explain my circs, I am so hopeful that I have don't all I can!

We dtd on cd 10, 13, 16 I also read about the SMEP and thought we'd try that but the timings just didn't work annoyingly! Going to try and dtd every 2 days from now on and then try the SMEP next month. I feel like I'm coming on my period today which is weird, mild low cramps but sure it's probably nothing!

This we dtd on the 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th (ovulation day?) and 10th!
Previously read about smep so tried to do that this month but your meant to start on CD 8 but we we didn't start until the 4th which was CD 10 🤷🏻‍♀️

5 days before ovulation and the day before for us this month-wasn’t feeling very well so this is all we managed to do. Hope it will be enough as I know that with my mmc we only did it once in fertile week and was successful🤞🤞

@Purpleflowers21that sounds like a good plan! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Purpleflowers21 · 11/11/2020 19:58

@S345 we were ment to be getting married April 2021 and we’re planning on ttc after, but we’ve changed to May 2022 because if the restrictions so we’ve ttc straight away but if not successful in the next few months will stop and wait until after the wedding

PurpleIsTheColour · 11/11/2020 19:51

I use fertility friend-find it the best for inputting my bbt and rhr from the fitbit. Also use femometer-I love the intelligent recognition for the opks 💪

S345 · 11/11/2020 19:48

@mummyofone2019 - Hello 👋🏻 yes all for the supporting one another, we are in this together ☺️ Aww thank you, I’m kind of over it now 😂 just want to get married don’t feel that bothered about having the big day now! We’ve decided we will go ahead with May next year even if there is still restrictions!

I also use Fermometer app to track mine, I’ve found it the simplest one to use personally. I also use CB ovulation tests, they are pricey but I think they are worth it. I only used one this month just to confirm I was at ‘peak fertility’ which was Sunday apparently, I always feel a bit skeptical! I came off the mini pill last August as just wasn’t getting on with it and whilst my periods come every month they are very light and mainly brown (sorry tmi!) I spoke to my Dr this week as just wanted to check it wasn’t anything to worry about which she said it wasn’t aslong as they were regular so just going with it! Xx

Loving that there are lots of us at a similar stage in our cycle. Here's hoping that the TWW flies by!
