Hi Ladies,

I was hopeful this month but can feel signs of AF creeping up and due in a couple of days..

I'm not too distraught as we only managed it a couple of times in my fertile week so thought it may be the case this month was a no. Now I am so ready to get annoying AF out of the way and get on the May bus!

Is anyone else in the same boat and hoping next month is the one?

I am taking folic and vitamin D at the moment but I'm going to add DHA and co-q10 as well as I've heard v good things.

Good luck to those going for May... it's my birthday in May too and I've asked for a baby 😂

@Bundaberg84 thank you, I’m expecting the worst but hoping for the best!
@charlotte0808 I could be wrong but I believe the day after your last positive OPK is 1dpo x

Hi all I had my last positive ovulation test last Friday so week today is that where i would count dpo from?

Bundaberg84 · 07/05/2021 16:52

@losd if it was super faint this morning, it's possible that the hcg levels are still very low, so it would make sense it's a negative in the afternoon. Try again tomorrow with FMU. Fingers crossed! xx

Losd · 07/05/2021 16:21

Well, I took a pregnancy test this morning and got a super faint bfp! Took another one this afternoon and glaring bfn so thinking it was an evap line this morning Sad I’m about 14 dpo now, af due sometime between Tuesday and today so will test again tomorrow but not optimistic x

Hi ladies! I hope you don't mind if I join!
TTC #1, trying since January, had a chemical in February and took a break last month, but now I'm back. I'm tracking my ovulation with that fertility monitor thingy from clear blue, I think my ovulation date will be next Thursday? I'm having a long weekend off starting Wednesday afternoon, so if that's not a sign, what is!

Kez152 · 07/05/2021 14:13

@Fiep will test again tomorrow morning. Af is due in 2 days so keeping my fingers crossed

Fiep · 07/05/2021 13:43

I think you have reason to be cautiously excited! When are you testing next?

Msd2416 · 07/05/2021 13:18

@Kez152 yes can see those two hun! Crossing my fingers for you babe xx

Kez152 · 07/05/2021 13:15

@Msd2416 I feel the same at times but think I’ve got line eyes- and as I don’t feel I can see it in all lights I feel like it’s negative.
The two ic are clearly lines- and pinkish in person.

Msd2416 · 07/05/2021 13:08

@Kez152 I might be going line crazy but i feel like i can see somethng on your FRER too?

@Kez152 It's still so early so I wouldn't get disheartened! I can see something on ic very faintly but it's there x

Currently on CD12, had high OPK yesterday and very high today (POAS is back 🤣)... I dream of the day a pregnancy test line appears as fast as my OPKs 🤣

@Aila1994 Ah! really?
I am sorry to hear that.

Well I certainly don't feel pregnant but that's interesting. I'm going to keep track and see how I get on in the next week or two with my opks as I'm pretty sure it's just a period. The line line has got paler now but still a solid line. Bizarre, I wonder what my body is up to!

My fertile week starts on the 12th according to glow. X

@FayLiv I had a full period before taking an ovulation test (which was a blaring positive), googled it and ended up taking a pregnancy test which was positive! The outcome wasn’t great for me but you never know 🤞x

xoJellyBean · 05/05/2021 14:53

@FayLiv that's so strange!! Maybe just a faulty test 🤔 when are you due to ovulate?

@Msd2416 I'm using fertility friend and also Femometer (plus the Femometer thermometer and OPKs) x

ttc19 · 05/05/2021 14:48

@Msd2416 I'm using Clue x

@xoJellyBean No I haven't, I hadn't even thought to as I've had 5 days of a period..I had the usual tummy cramps at the start and general yucky feeling - I feel ok now though now it's finishing. I really don't think it would be that? I've had two children before and if I've been pregnant it's been a missed period. If I was pregnant which I know opks can sometimes detect surely then the clear blue would have a smiley face too? Very strange!! X

What apps is everyone using to track?xx

xoJellyBean · 05/05/2021 14:39

@FayLiv did you try doing a pregnancy test just incase?! 🤞🏻

Hi ladies..

I am on day 5 of period, very very light almost done I would say now and randomly did an cheap opk. The test line is like a positive! Very strong.. did a clear blue opk and an empty ⭕️ however the lines are strong when I took out the stick. Any reason for this? My glow app suggests I will be ovulating in about a week!

@Msd2416 I’m using a sperm donor and home IUI so it’s all very regimented. I aim for 3 times per cycle, but as long as I catch it the day before and day of/after ovulation I’m happy with that. This will just be cycle 2 this time, but it took a few cycles to conceive my wee girl in 2019 x

ttc19 · 05/05/2021 12:08

@Msd2416 To be honest this is my first full cycle off the pill and I'm really not sure what my body is doing this time round. I think once I've got a better idea we might try a bit harder. I should really have had a period by now and I'm not pregnant or have noticed any ovulation signs like I have before so I'm not sure if this is my body saying "that's enough love" ha ha.

Msd2416 · 05/05/2021 12:01

@ttc19 we have been trying every other day then when due to peak everyday! I feel like its just a bit much! xx

Fiep · 05/05/2021 11:59

Oh oops that’s the other TTC thread! Silly me!!!

Re DTD, every couple of days around ovulation and otherwise not really! I’m tired! Lol
