@bubblegeek22
Im totally the same πŸ€ͺ its hard work!!! X

bubblegeek22 · 08/02/2021 18:50

@MgW1 this is very true!! You're probably right πŸ˜… it's like the symptom spotting in TWW every little thing!

MgW1 · 08/02/2021 18:32

@bubblegeek22
I have had tiny of tinge in ewcm before now , its nothing to worry about. You may have had it before an not noticed if you werent ttc? I inspect now i am ttc but would not have done in the past xx

bubblegeek22 · 08/02/2021 17:50

Can anyone offer any advise here at this is very unusual for me? Cycles are always 25 days, CD 10 today, usually OV on day 12 so in FW right now.
Today I have EWCM but was tinged with blood which is unusual for CD10, it's almost like what you get at the end of a period. I'm wondering if my AF really wasn't quite finished, or possibly implantation bleeding? Never had that in previous PGs so very odd for me!

GreysEmma · 08/02/2021 16:16

@Clapham4 I know what you mean, Im trying to dtd everyday in FW so know Ive covered all bases!

With my first I came off the pill in May and fell pregnant in September. The cycle I became pregnant was the first one I used opks so not sure if I was just missing ovulation the previous months!

Sparkles512 · 08/02/2021 16:04

@jeaniej they can be irregular but usually under 34 days.
I did a test on Sunday morning BFN 😒
Usually I have bad cramps for a few days before my period but not yet so not sure when it's going to make an appearance!

JeanieJ · 08/02/2021 15:55

@Sparkles512 how long is your cycle? Would it be time for a test?

@Clapham4 maybe, but I've had PMS since CD20 (irritable & insomnia), so I'm resigned to think it's not my month.

Just want to move onto the next cycle now!

Sparkles512 · 08/02/2021 15:43

I'm on CD 38 and no signs of AF, I must have ovulated later than I thought so probably missed it, just want AF to appear so we can start again!

Clapham4 · 08/02/2021 15:41

Thanks @JeanieJ

I’ve been Googling and ovulation can fluctuate so now I’m thinking there must be months when I’ve missed it πŸ™„ I always thought I was after CD14 and CB confirmed that on other months.

I would think you’re still in with a good chance πŸ€— that’s only 2 days, and it only takes one doesn’t it! Fingers crossed for you xx

JeanieJ · 08/02/2021 13:46

@Clapham4
I've had this before where is going straight to static, so I started testing earlier. (CD8/9).
I would just DTD every other day for the week to cover all bases.
Sometimes I get the static on CD10 and I have a 28 day cycle (that never budges), which I think is early.
This month I'm doing without OPK & based on temping, apparently I ovulated on day 16 🀷🏻, I DTD until CD14, so I think I missed the window.
Currently on CD27 and just waiting to see if AF shows up tomorrow.

(I'm 33 TTC#1 on cycle 7)

Clapham4 · 08/02/2021 12:38

Sorry today is CD10, so I got my static smiley on day 10, that can’t be right can it?

Clapham4 · 08/02/2021 12:33

@BWaiting I’ve just come on to ask about the CB tests too πŸ˜‚ But I’ve had the same issue as you once before, I went from the blank circle to static smiley, with no flashy smiley. If I were you I would treat it like it’s right but also continue DTD for the next week or so to make sure??
So I started testing on day8, had a flashy face on day9&10 but just now on day 11 I got my static!? Isn’t that very early to Ov? When I’ve tracked ov before I always ovulate later in the month.
Does anyone know if ovulation can fluctuate that much🀯

@GreysEmma yep! Will DTD every day I think. I always end up kicking myself when I get a BFN that I didn’t do it more during FW so this month I not taking chances πŸ’ͺ🏼 Did you fall easily with your first? Xx

BWaiting · 08/02/2021 09:26

Thanks for your reply @Fifi1086 I started testing on CD10 as that's the day they arrived, I should have been more prepared and ordered earlier but was in two minds.
CD12 and I've got the static. (I have a 26-28day cycle, my app tells me I will O on CD14)
Currently lay here with my legs up! Just made my husband get back out of his work clothes as soon as I got that smiley, there was no way I was going to miss it this time even if the smiley was wrong.

Fifi1086 · 08/02/2021 09:21

Hey @BWaiting, what CD did you start testing? If you waited a bit late to start testing it's normal that it went straight from nothing to static as the First one or two tests will always be empty circle as it establishes a base line, even if it should have been flashing smileys

BWaiting · 08/02/2021 09:08

Help help help!
Morning ladies, I hope you're all well.
I need some advice please, my first month using the CB OPK.
Tested Saturday late morning, and nothing, tested yesterday morning, still nothing, have just tested this morning and I have a static smiley.....is this normal?! Slightly panicking as I'm not sure what to make of it! I was expecting some flashing smileys at some point....
Thank you in advance xx
(Sorry posting this in two threads as I know you're all very helpful) x

GreysEmma · 08/02/2021 08:40

@bubblegeek22 Im in FW too, dtd last two nights think will miss tonight then do tomorrow and weds and hopefully covered!

Im hoping to fall without using opks too though I did use them for my first pregnancy so will see.

GreysEmma · 08/02/2021 08:38

@dunkedbiscuit

Oh lovely *@GreysEmma & @Wowthisisreal* a few of us in a similar position then! My DS is 2 in a couple of weeks and it’s like that’s suddenly flicked a switch in me to want another baby!
I was the same my DS turned 2 last May and suddenly became really broody whereas before I wasnt sure I wanted another. I think it helped he finally started sleeping!

We decided to wait till this year for our next though as we are getting married in June or should be. Was going to wait till after the wedding but not sure if it is going ahead or not so just decided to start trying now. If i do get pregnant quick and wedding goes ahead my dress has a corset back so should still fit!

organised5 · 08/02/2021 07:00

@dunkedbiscuit my DS is also 2 in a couple of weeks and we're TTC #2 Cycle 1 too! 😁

dunkedbiscuit · 07/02/2021 23:16

@BWaiting I’m sorry for your losses lovely, I totally understand needing some time to feel ready again. My DS is about to turn 2 and suddenly not really seeming like a baby anymore!

BWaiting · 07/02/2021 22:45

@dunkedbiscuit he's 9. I've had two mc since having him and it's taken me 2 years since the last one to entertain the idea of TTC but I just want it to happen now, I'm so impatient!! How old is your little one? What cycle are you on this time around?

bubblegeek22 · 07/02/2021 22:37

Hi ladies, I'm in FW from today so my app says. DTD today and aiming for every other day this week. Have never used OPKs as have managed to fall just by following my cycle in all previous pregnancies so I'm hoping I will be lucky enough to not need to use them 🀞

dunkedbiscuit · 07/02/2021 22:20

@BWaiting I’m also 33 and TTC #2, how old is your little one?

dunkedbiscuit · 07/02/2021 22:19

BWaiting · 07/02/2021 21:13

@Clapham4 hi. I'm roughly the same dates as you.
I'm in FW and according to my app I'm due to O on Wednesday but I'm also using OPK's this month so still waiting on a signal there as CB hadn't shown anything yet so worrying a little bit. My cycles are about 28days.
I'm 33, and TTC #2. On my second cycle.
Good luck with this month 😊 has your CB given any indication to you yet? x
