CD15 - First Flashing Smiley

LifesAnItch · 08/05/2021 10:15

First cycle TTC DC2. Got my first flashing smiley this morning on CD15 (average 33 day cycle). Got my BFP first month of using Clearblue digital OPKs last time so feeling hopeful and excited!

Anyone else coming up for their fertile week and want to keep each other company?

@LifesAnItch

DTD yesterday & today... will try again for tomorrow but my OH is so tired 🤣

Would you count 1dpo from tomorrow do you think? I always get confused with that part

@monkeyy97 I'll be testing about 3 times daily with ICs from now onwards 🙈 will leave my FRER until Friday I think as I'll be 10/11dpo by then 🤞🏼 x

@monkeyy97 I'd be livid!! Lol.

Your plan to just continue DTD until BFP or AF sounds like a good one though 👍🏼

Weirdly, I didn't get a strong second line on IC or CB OPKs this month, despite the CB detecting my high and peak days 🤔

I've had EWCM on and off since my peak so not sure what's going on 🙈 my peak also came 2 days earlier than usual this month on CD17 instead of CD19. I got my first static at 3.42am on CD17 (last Monday) so guessing I ovulated later that day or the following day, making me 6/7dpo today.

We haven't DTD much at all this month due to DH being unwell and DS not sleeping great over the past 2 weeks so I'm not holding my breath but can't help but cling onto the fact that it only takes one time and we DTD (what I think was) the day before O 🤞🏼 x

Still flashing 🤣🤣🤣

I only have a few digital tests left now so just going to keep doing them till I've run out 🤷🏼‍♀️

tierneytarny · 16/05/2021 21:59

@monkeyy97 it looks like it’s close!! Fingers crossed for you Xx

monkeyy97 · 16/05/2021 19:40

Think it's going to be tomorrow or the next day! This is the darkest one my cheapies has ever been... typically that's my last cheap one 😢 fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I'm obviously just having a completely off month and ovulating super late 🤣

I got my static today (so CD10). DTD Friday and today (going to try again tonight too). I hope this works. I’m already losing my marbles with it! 🙈

monkeyy97 · 16/05/2021 11:33

@LifesAnItch

Nope!! 🤣🤣 day 10 of flashing 🤣 think I'm going to stop now and just carry on dtd every other day until AF is due 🤷🏼‍♀️

@LifesAnItch

I'm so fed up now! 🤣 I think if it's still flashing smiley then I'm not doing anymore!

@tierneytarny like @monkeyy97 you could be getting flashing smilies for a while yet. Flashing smilies don't always mean ovulation is imminent. You have a fairly short cycle so it doesn't seem too early to me x

@monkeyy97 😤 your body must be gearing up! Maybe your going to drop a super egg 😂 you'll be pregnant with quads before the end of the month 🙈 lol.

I'm really hoping tomorrow is your day 🤞🏼 x

Help!!!! Day 8 of flashing smiley now 🧐 never had this many before

tierneytarny · 13/05/2021 16:11

I’m on CD7 and just got a flashing smiley. Does that seem early?! Cycles are between 24 and 26 days usually.

monkeyy97 · 13/05/2021 16:06

I even took a pregnancy test on Tuesday as I was SO nauseous I was nearly sick on myself at work!! But nope negative 😢

monkeyy97 · 13/05/2021 16:04

@LifesAnItch
Oh my god 🤣🤣🤣 don't know why I'm laughing though as I would have thought the same lol! This is why I make sure I don't have any in the house 🤣🤣

CD18!!! 🧐 my original ovulation day was tomorrow so fingers crossed it actually is! 🙈 my OH is so tired, just want ovulation over and done with for the month lol!

@monkeyy97 my ICs just arrived about half an hour ago and I was tempted to pee on one here and then 😂 I'm kidding myself thinking I'll be able to hold off until next week 🙈

7 days of flashing smilies 😤 that's so frustrating!! Your static HAS to come tomorrow 🤞🏼what CD is this for you? x

@LifesAnItch

Morning! I am now on day 7 off flashing smiley 🧐 so annoying!!!!! I'm hoping it's tomorrow 🤞🏻

Omg I don't have that willpower. I have to make sure I don't have any in the house otherwise I use them super early as I'm impatient 🤣

Morning All,

How are you doing? Well I think I'm 1 / 2 dpo today, not 100% sure but either way, the 2WW has officially begun!

I've got 2 FRER in the cupboard and a box of ICs arriving tomorrow so will probably test with an IC next Thursday and Friday and leave the FRER until at least Saturday when I think I'll be 10/11dpo.

When is everyone else planning on testing?

gimmeavino · 11/05/2021 16:43

@monkeyy97 oh how annoying! Annoying that you have to use up so many tests too those things are pricey!

I'm hoping for a static soon because I'm on cd20 and honestly I just want a few weeks break from dtd (which is like a chore anyway since ttc and oh doesn't do well with the pressure)...been testing/dtd since cd8 🥱😴

monkeyy97 · 11/05/2021 08:59

Day 5 of flashing smiley 🙈

Getting impatient now 🤣
