Who else is praying to conceive this month?
I’m on CD 1 so I’m praying I conceive this month. Had copper coil removed just over a month ago now, and we avoided conceiving last month as hubby didn’t want an August baby (he’s an aug bub himself)
I’ve always been regular with my cycle and regular with ovulation (continued tracking while on coil) so hoping we get lucky 🤞🏼

@Alist12 the test line needs to be darker than the control line & then you should ovulate 24-48 hours later.

@DawnLaura could it be that you ovulated later than you thought?

Sorry to those who AF has arrived for - and good luck to those testing/getting BFPs.

I’m really confused about what’s happening. I’m never late, AF is usually always here on time, to the day. But I’m now 3 days late with no sign of AF arriving anytime soon... but I’ve done two Clear Blue tests (not early detection ones though) and they were BFN’s. No idea what to think, so I’m just gonna hold off until the end of the week and test again if AF isn’t here by then.

Was supposed to ovulate on day 14 and 15 but have not gotten a positive opk yet, just checked my cm and it's starting to get clear and stretchy. Been having cramps in my left hand side of my belly. My opks are getting darker everyday.
Am I just starting to ovulate now??
Top one was from 5 minutes ago and bottom was from 2 hours ago. Any advice

Sorry for anyone that’s gotten a BFN and congrats on the BFPs since yesterday!

I’m 9 DPO and I want to test sooo badly, but I know it’s too early. AF is due Monday but it feels like a lifetime away! Going to probably test on Friday with an FRER I’ll be 11 DPO by then. I’m being overly positive this month and have fully convinced myself this is our month (positive manifestation and all that).... I know I’m probably setting myself up for major disappointment!

I’m so tired this week, currently lying on the couch but should be working!

Hey we didn't conceive last month unfortunately but I'm due to start ovulation this weekend so I hope this will be our month 🤞🤞🤞

DOB78 · 16/12/2020 11:58

@iloveoreos I can feel af is on the way, couldn't sleep last night, I'm too hot and I've bad cramps. Im blaming Covid for the lack of BFP this month, messing with my cycle. Due tmora hurry up already........
@arc91 you've had BFP you're not out at all

Rumples · 16/12/2020 11:21

@Alist12 if I were you I would keep testing just in case you haven't ovulated yet. I've had milky watery cm for 2 days and then have got ewcm and a peak opk today.

Rumples · 16/12/2020 11:18

CD24 and finally got a peak OPK! Was starting to believe I wasn't going to ovulate this month as my temps have stayed low but looks like it's just been delayed.

Hopefully this doesn't impact the chances of getting a BFP.

Iloveoreos · 16/12/2020 10:05

Iloveoreos · 16/12/2020 10:04

DOB78 · 16/12/2020 09:59

Another BFN for me this morning feeling out

arc91 · 16/12/2020 08:45

@JLQ1020 wishing you all the luck for this time!

I’m not sure about your ovulation sorry @Alist12 pretty new to the opk’s myself but also wishing you all the luck!

My second FRER isn’t any darker this morning so think that’s me out

tuliprose2008 · 16/12/2020 08:26

Off to buy a reliable early test today.... wish me luck 🤞
Have no idea when I ovulate and not had a period so I'm hoping for good news

Alist12 · 16/12/2020 00:02

@JLQ1020 don't give up here yet hun! Wishing you baby dust x

JLQ1020 · 15/12/2020 22:51

@Alist12 due on not due AF until the 4th Jan only just finished my last one a week ago. I was gutted last month felt like all my symptoms might point to a positive and the morning I had planned on testing AF came. So that was that.

Katiecorn · 15/12/2020 21:57

@arc91 thank you not to worry too much least now i know i can enjoy a few drinks over xmas and try again x

arc91 · 15/12/2020 19:57

@Katiecorn oh no I’m gutted for you 😔 sorry! X

Katiecorn · 15/12/2020 19:26

Guys i must have jinxed myself. AF has just arrived 😔

Alist12 · 15/12/2020 18:51

Hiya girls I was supposed to ovulate yesterday but haven't gotten a positive opk yet but I was having a few mild cramps in my left side and had 2-3 drops of blood and that was it. Could I have still ovulated and just have missed my surge?
This is my opk from an hour ago it's gotten a bit darker but not a lot.
That would make me 1dpo but I normally dry up straight after ovulation and I'm having white watery cm.
The lighting in the photos are not good but here they are

@arc91 wasn't so much willpower as more my OH didn't reply in time while I was in shop, had to leave for school run hahaha. Suppose its a good thing giving it a few couple more days. It will happen for us all one way or another we have to keep faith. Got the worst headache ever tonight 😫 x

MamaMoonbeam · 15/12/2020 18:09

@arc91 ikr! I am ttc my first with OH and my second. I have an 11 year old ds from a previous relationship and I am 37 😊 so always worried about my age too! The chemical happened on our first cycle of ttc so I suppose we know it can happen!

arc91 · 15/12/2020 18:08

@MamaMoonbeam and yea the unknown! I’ve never wanted to see a fortune tell before but I want to go now to know if I’ll have children 🙈

arc91 · 15/12/2020 18:06

Oh and TTC #1

arc91 · 15/12/2020 18:05

@MamaMoonbeam I know people say it takes time etc but time has made it worse I just wanted to get straight back to ttc again! Is this your first?

In an attempt to get to know each other a bit more, I’m 29 (30 on 3rd Jan and was desperate to get BFP by then), been with DH for 9 years, married last year!
