@HRP1990 yes, It did give me a shock.. 2 days to go! 🤞 ❤

GingerTea333 · 17/06/2021 09:52

@Sparklingwine1 @PurpleCat88 I agree I think your body can be different across cycles and also some people have higher/lower lh levels than others and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I read somewhere that you can have a positive OPK with any number above 0.5

Hi everyone! Hope it's OK if I join in.

I'm 33, and on CD9 of my 5th cycle ttc#1. This is the last cycle we can try in 2021 to avoid clashing with our (twice-postponed) wedding reception next summer. So fingers crossed!

I'm taking folic acid and vitamin d. This will be my second cycle using easy@home opks with the premom app, which I've found really helpful! I used one step and clear blue strips for the first couple of months but the app has been so much clearer.

New this month: I've got 3 tiny tubes of conceive plus (the kind that you put straight in..) - haven't tried it yet and not sure I'll actually be brave enough, but we'll see!

✨ Sending baby dust to all! ✨

@Dannii892 I don’t want to get your hopes up but spotting randomly when you never have before sounds like a good sign right? Especially as you’re not due 🧙🏻‍♀️ until next week? 2 days! ❤️

Dannii892 · 17/06/2021 09:44

@HRP1990 do you think so.. ive not had a good tummy this morning though - I thought constipation was a key thingy lol .. I just won't believe until I see a bfp lol.. going to test sat - feels ages away! ❤

HRP1990 · 17/06/2021 09:41

Sounds like a good sign @Dannii892 especially as the spotting/cramping has stopped!

HRP1990 · 17/06/2021 09:40

@Sparklingwine1 do you test every day using OPK’s? I only ask as my cycle was 25 days previously, but last month I peaked on CD19. Could you be ovulating later and not realising? Or so you think those levels are standard for you? Just curious! X

PurpleCat88 · 17/06/2021 09:38

@Sparklingwine1 I’m not sure if the number it assigns to the OPKs are super important or just our bodies varying? I got a peak last cycle of 1.26 and the cycle before that my peak was 0.84. I guess it depends which wee you’re testing as you can’t test everytime you go to the loo 😂 I tend to test once a day at the beginning of my cycle then to twice a day. Today I’ll probably test 3 times 🤣.

Dannii892 · 17/06/2021 09:33

@Peachycream when I went to the loo about 8pm lastnight it seemed to have stopped and nothing this morning.. the dull cramps have seemed to stop now also which is good .. didnt feel good at all yesterday .. but today had some questionable bowel movements (so TMI).. IS AF due on Saturday? Guess you can only wait and see right.. apparently on 25% of woman get implantation spotting some woman don't knotice anything at all! ❤

Aries491 · 17/06/2021 09:22

Forgot to add it was really hot and muggy last night so could have been from that as my OH woke too

Aries491 · 17/06/2021 09:21

Morning Ladies!
How is everyone today? I am currently around 5/6DPO and weirdly woke up in the night with pins and needles in my hand (probably from sleeping funny) feeling quite dizzy and thirsty but needing a wee haha so unlike me as I usually sleep through! Quite tired today, nearly went for a lie down on the sofa bed in my home working room but then the bane of teams flashed with a call in 15 🤣
Not sure if these are symptoms or just life haha trying not to read too much into it x

Sparklingwine1 · 17/06/2021 09:19

@PurpleCat88 @GingerTea333 I'm finding your information on OPKs really interesting. This was only my second month of doing it.

I have a very regular cycle of 27 days and I've had a 'peak' both months on CD 13.. but those peaks were only 0.8 last month and 0.49 this month. I didn't know it was possible to go up past 1!

Towards the end of my cycle it crept up again slightly (well last month it did - I don't know about this month yet as I'm only 5DPO) but didn't reach as high as it did on CD 13.

Even though they were still low-ish numbers I was pretty sure CD13 was showing the positive ovulation, as before both peaks I had EWCM the day before 🤔

Hopefully you can see my picture.

OPKs are so confusing!!

I was okay, but I’ve just been stuck behind a bus that kept stopping at the most inconvenient times, which has both mildly frustrated and inconvenienced me 😂

@Dannii892 all good over here, patiently (or not) awaiting 🧙

How are you? Any more spotting developments?

@Peachycream how are feeling today? X

Dannii892 · 17/06/2021 08:52

@GingerTea333 was about 30 yesterday got a bit of colour but massive storm last night and it's still peeing it down here! Quite nice though - I'm boiling!

GingerTea333 · 17/06/2021 08:43

@PurpleCat88 I think you’re pretty close. Mine goes up from about there to a peak very quickly. I was 0.23 on CD15 and 1.67 on CD16. Exciting!!!

HRP1990 · 17/06/2021 08:35

Oo it’s deffo climbing! I reckon this evening/tomorrow will be the day! 🤞@PurpleCat88

HRP1990 · 17/06/2021 08:33

Try and attach it again @PurpleCat88 I can’t see anything! Fingers crossed today is the day!!

GingerTea333 · 17/06/2021 08:33

Morning ladies!

@Peachycream I have no suggestions on your lh levels but am intrigued! fully invested in the mini series

Welcome @Sparklingwine1 and @HerbivorousRex!

Hope everyone has a lovely day. Not sure if the weather has changed for everyone else but feels like summer is over here!

PurpleCat88 · 17/06/2021 08:31

Oops didn’t attach - here’s the pic 😂

Good morning everyone!

Welcome @Sparklingwine1 and @HerbivorousRex!

@glasspaw glad you’re sticking with us! How are you getting on?

CD22 for me and I’ve got a higher OPK this morning! Finally getting my peak I think! I’ve attached a picture (hope it works!). I originally thought I was getting my peak in CD19 when I got 0.42 but it wasn’t to be.

How’s everyone doing today? ☺️

Dannii892 · 17/06/2021 08:16

Good morning ladies and hello to @herbivorousRex and @sparklingwine1 .. hope everyone is well today! Xx

CTMcG · 17/06/2021 07:50

@SkeletonSkins just purchased conceive plus ovulation support & the lube! This ttc with irregular periods is an expensive journey!!Confused i will try anything though!!

Peachycream · 17/06/2021 07:34

@KayL1988 mine were pretty steady, maybe like a 0.01 change each day but after the surge it was a relatively straight line……until 8DPO I’ve been trying to look into it and I’m not finding much, my most interesting find was yesterday when I thought I’d cracked the case that it was just rising slightly because progesterone is dropping and 🧙 is on her way. Which made sense to me, so I accepted it and moved on with my life 😂 but now I got nothing as to why I would drop again so steeply. It must just be fluctuation. If you do find anything out let me know!

Welcome @HerbivorousRex oooh that exciting! Fingers crossed for you. I would also buy in bulk and have them shipped 😂
