Lucky October? 🍀

Hello, hope I can join?
I'm only on CD3 as AF showed 3 days early and spoiled my fun lol.
This month I am going to start OPKs from CD7 or 8 because I'm not sure I've been ovulating or when. I've got easy@home ones and CB as easy@home don't seem to have worked for me in the past unless I've just done them wrong! Been off the pill since May but haven't actively been trying just going with the flow and seeing what happens. Last month I had what I thought were pregnancy symptoms but did a test and it was BFN and then AF showed. I was excited for minute so we have decided this is the month to really really try!

That’s what I feel like @Cruz86 what if we skip and it’s the optimal day! We did 4 days in a row last week and I’ve had to take two days off 😂😂.

Love all these suggestions though gals! I’m going to get out of my very unsexy WFH sweats and suggested we go to the pub for a date night.

I honestly have no idea if I've ovulated or not yet and really feel like I need to cover all bases by carrying on DTD, but I really can't do anymore! 4 times in the past 6 days is my limit 😂😂

You defo need make up sex though @Firsttimetrier!!

I was hoping to DTD tonight but DH and I have just had a mini falling out! Hoping he apologies and we’re on track by this evening.

We all must DTD tonight, OH’s need to suck it up 🤣 this will be our lucky month ladies xx

@Peauela fingers crossed!!! 🍀🍀🍀

@SammiStap ahh so we're similar with our cycles ❤️ fingers crossed for you!!!

Hello :)

Hope it is okay I join in, new to this forum completely, but it feels good to have so many women together TTC. I have read through all the posts and makes me feel not alone. I am somewhere between 5-8 DPO as I think I’m ovulating slightly earlier then my app as I was getting cramps a fair few days before my app said I was ovulating. Anyway, waiting to see if a positive this month, only our 2nd month TTC.

@Peauela 10dpo today

@SammiStap how many DPO are you? You probably said it before but I have terrible memory 😂

@Peauela I totally get that. I’m trying to convince myself that what I’m feeling is menstrual pains and progesterone getting my body ready for a period 😂 I got aches going on low down on my abdomen and hips and my boobs just feel a bit tingly but yes, it’s just af preparing 😂 xx

CD16 here and a flashing smiley this morning - I predict static smiley tomorrow but DTD every other day and probs all weekend to be sure :-). Some of you are a bit ahead of me but some will testing at the same time. Hoping for lots of BFPs from this thread!! x

@Danani in that case you just have to get hubby for another ride tonight haha! 😄

@SammiStap thanks love, I kind of know that but I'd rather be surprised than hold on to hope because chances are really low this month. I had a chat with hubs and got him on vitamins for next month and told him when my next window should be 😎 😂

Hello all. Lots of good stuff happening here for you all! Lots of peaks going on so I certainly hope your all lucky!

I agree with @Danani on this on @Peauela as dpo12 I still really early and you are so not out until af shows. If implantation happened on dpo 9 it can still take a couple more days for hcg levels to rise enough for a positive. Just hang in there! I’m right behind you on dpo10 and I’m not going to test until I’m actually late! My af due tues/wed so if no show by next weekend I will test with an early test. 😀

@Danani I absolutely refuse to hear that !!!! You're only just peaking!! And you got to BD!!! I think you have a great chance 😎

Haha you’re welcome @Danani 🙈😂

Oh that’s weird with the OPK, though I don’t know much about the CB ones… Did it say high or peak yesterday?

They say that after you get your peak you should stop testing.. Wether you ovulate today or tomorrow I’d think you’re covered, even if you can’t DTD today :)

I really think it’s a really long shot for me this month but I need to wait and see😬
Period due on the 20th but I know damn well I won’t wait with testing until then. My aim is to hold off till at least 8-9 DPO. Until then I’ll just carry on measuring my BBT 🍀🤞

@Danani thank you ❤️ preparing for the new cycle 🍀🤞🏻 negative @ 12DPO, even though I wasn't checking BBT throughout the cycle I started with normal thermometer until I get a proper one and it's extremely low for the past 2 days (as low as 95.5), still cramping, sore boobs and mood swings which means AF is definitely coming 🐵 but I had my moment of sadness and now I'm moving on with hope for the next one. Hopefully I still get to eat for two this Christmas! And I will stick around here to see how you all get on, hopefully lots of BFP still to come 🎈

I'm glad you got to BD!!! Hopefully it's your month 🍀❤️

How long are your cycles normally @beckybabyx? CD12 is still early on so seems like ovulation is on its way over the next few days!
