It seems AF is coming to get me end of this week (Fri), so instead of feeling sorry for myself I’m trying to look forward to October and getting to try again! šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»

Anyone else with me?

Arghhh @Mummytobe93 not you too!!
Good on you for having the conversation though!!! Hopefully he puts in the work tonight! 😁

I am really not sure about Premom app… it keeps reading everything as Low for me, when I got static smiley on CB this morning. I’m a bit lost with that one! Your two tests look the same to me too, though, hopefully tonight DTD will be just on time šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»

I have a little update for you all and can actually use some help deciphering this:

CD14 for me.
All of my apps predict O for tomorrow.
I’ve been getting flashing smileys on CB for a week and this morning got my static (yay!), HOWEVER. The easy@home strips this morning still show LOW when I upload on the Premom app, and show HIGH when I upload on Femometer app. Neither is peak.
Oh and even though I’ve been taking my BBT every morning, I must have done something because FF says I have ovulated 4 days ago, which we all know is BS. šŸ˜‚

I’m inclined to believe my apps and CB that my peak is today-ish, and maybe easy@home will move from Low/High to Peak later today/tomorrow?
And probably will discard the BBT. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Any suggestions/advice from anyone?
How would you interpret this? šŸ‘€

PS DH felt a bit better last night and we BD’ed but I don’t think he’ll be up for it today/tomorrow, so I think that was that. 😬

How’s everyone else doing? šŸ€

*Sorry it was meant to say ā€œlooks the same to meā€

Mummytobe93 · 07/10/2021 09:04

I don’t know how accurate the pre mom app is in reading the OPKs but last nights one and this morning’s looks the day to me , though it says I peaked yesterday… what do you girls think?

@beckybabyx

No BD’ing over here. OH fell asleep ALL evening. I’m really upset/angry about it. I’ve just cried on the way to work Sad I just don’t think he sees that he could have just ruined our chances for another month!
OMG I’m sorry but it just be something I’m the air as my DH was the same! He said Wednesday is going to be ā€œour evening ā€œ without him spending hrs on PlayStation. I went to bed at 9 and asked him not to stay up too late, got myself all ready and relaxed, he didn’t go to bed till just before midnight, being well surprised I’m still awake. Then got in bed rolled over and fell asleep! I was beyond pi**ed off… I had a clear high on my OPK, EWCM, we were both relaxing at home and it still didn’t happen.

I told him straight this morning that I’m disappointed we didn’t DTD last night, and he was like ā€œoh I didn’t know you were in the mood, you should’ve been more blunt about itā€šŸ™„ I mean isn’t that the ultimate mood killer? It thought that subtle hints are better but apparently not.
I was hoping for a quickie this morning but then it got too late and I had to start getting ready for work.

I’ve still tested high on OPK this morning + had some EWCM so hopefully I didn’t ovulate yet or I’ll still be in the 24 hr window tonight.

I hope he felt my frustration and we’re going to go for it tonight though I think it’s too late now anyway…

Hope everyone else managed to get some! šŸ˜‚xx

Danani · 07/10/2021 08:56

Ohhh @beckybabyx I’m so sorry, huni. I know exactly how you feel. I feel like men just don’t care as much, or they think it ā€œjustā€ happens and put exactly zero effort. And if you don’t say something, it’s like well, how are they gonna know? But if you do say something, then you’re putting pressure and putting them off. šŸ™„šŸ™„šŸ™„
Honestly I never imagined that TTC can be such a frustrating and isolating time!

I know no matter what any of us says, it feels sucky, and you feel upset and disappointed, but trust me when I say: we have all been there. You’re not alone, it happens, unfortunately. HOWEVER, your Peak was yesterday, which means you are ovulating today or even tomorrow. If you manage to DTD tonight, that gives you a very strong chance for this month!!! ā¤ļøšŸ€šŸ¤žšŸ»

Oh @beckybabyx, sorry to hear that šŸ˜ž hopefully the times you have done it are good enough and this month is your month! How long have you been TTC? X

Pugmumm · 07/10/2021 08:34

@Lianna93 very good idea!! Fingers crossed for your BFP soon šŸ¤ž

@Peauela @Danani @Dobcaty Thankyou, I'm still going strong and not tested although I find it harder at the weekends not to test so hoping I get through it šŸ˜…

@Peauela you're not out until AF shows 😘

@Danani that must be hard but maybe it's the greater being telling you to have a month off and get some r&r

@Dobcaty I love how you have such a positive view on it all!

Loving all the BFP

Good luck to everyone for the rest of the month!!

Dobcaty · 06/10/2021 22:07

@danani thank you for your wishes. Did you get your peak yet? I hope your DH’s back was better this afternoon and he was in the mood too šŸ¤ž

@effram thank you! How is your OPKs doing? Are you getting stronger lines? Do you usually have rapid or gradual lh surge?

@Peauela don't feel bad, honestly. I know our time comes when it needs to come. During this period learnt a lot about myself and started to trust and love my body, and it made our relationship stronger then before. Its hard for us women, but it is hard for them too, even when they put the brave face on it, because we can, we allow to show our emotional but it is not accepted by the modern society for them.
Probably without this waiting time I could never appreciate the miracle that much as I would appreciate now.

But tomorrow is a new day and honestly I know that my little eggs are developing..I was talking to them šŸ™ˆ and continuously cheering them to grow, and I feel it. I usually have the pain before ovulation and on the ovulation day and I can tell which side is the active in certain months, but this month is a tiny little bit of different as they have to be ready by tomorrow morning, so its a little bit more sore then usually.

Lovely to see all the BFPs already this month and I know there are more to come ā¤ļø

apwilso · 06/10/2021 20:47

Congratulations to all the positives!

Cruz86 · 06/10/2021 20:45

Seems like there's going to be a lot of BD'ing tonight - judging by my cm and cramping I'm coming up to my surge too šŸ˜‚

Missy95 · 06/10/2021 20:30

Yay congrats on more BFPS this month!

According to my app , I am 3DPO. Twiddling my thumbs already 🤣

@Danani sorry to hear your OH is still having back problems, you aren't out until AF shows though so don't give up just yet xx

beckybabyx · 06/10/2021 20:06

Mines saying how tired he is šŸ™„ I said well tough the tests say it must be tonight 🤣🤣

Mummytobe93 · 06/10/2021 20:04

I was feeling some ovulation cramping earlier today so decided to test every 6-7 hrs and went from low this morning to high in the evening. I’m on CD12, thought I’d ovulation at day 15 but it’s couple of days earlier this cycle.. I wouldn’t be surprised if the surge happens overnight…
We deffo DTD tonight, I dont take no for an answeršŸ˜‚

Lucky October? šŸ€
Lianna93 · 06/10/2021 19:41

@Pugmumm honestly feel so burnt out but you're right, I know I'll definitely regret it, I'm hoping the weekend will be different for me.
Might treat myself to a complete pamper day on Saturday to see if that helps any šŸ¤žšŸ»

FlyOnTheWall89 · 06/10/2021 18:03

@beckybabyx šŸ˜‚ I thought that may have been the case. They say you’ll ovulate in around 12-36 hours - so defo BD tonight x

beckybabyx · 06/10/2021 17:58

@FlyOnTheWall89 I’ve had a total mind block and only just realised static means peak fertility!!! I was thinking ooh yeah O is coming soon now I’ve got a smiley, I never even had flashing smileys! Best get to it tonight haha xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 06/10/2021 17:37

@beckybabyx oh wow you ovulate so early - I have to wait until CD17/18!!! Get BD-ing ASAP! Fingers crossed for you! X

Cruz86 · 06/10/2021 17:10

Wow, that sounds like real hard work @Firsttimetrier šŸ˜‚ Are they optimal times to be DTD then?! I'm trying for my second and have never heard of this!! I don't think I've got the energy...🄱

Pugmumm · 06/10/2021 16:39

@Lianna93 I sympathise with you but haven't felt the need to not want to DTD just yet as I am so desperate (I am only on month 2 though)

I would suggest trying to have some time to yourself with DP and a nice meal and movie if you can and just see where the night takes you (excuse the embarrassment there).

You may feel different in a couple of weeks then you won't be in your fertile window and you may of wished you had taken the opportunity BrewThanksxx

Pugmumm · 06/10/2021 16:37

Joining the October bus if I may!! Good luck to everyone and let's hope for some July 22' babies xx

beckybabyx · 06/10/2021 16:36

@FlyOnTheWall89 static smiley today, was planning to do SMEP from day 8 but it never happened so starting it today instead xx

Lianna93 · 06/10/2021 15:29

Ladies - do you ever have months where you're just not feeling like DTD?
My mental health has taken a total dive this month, I've had a lot going on this week & I'm just so exhausted physically & mentally from it all but I'm about to go into my fertile window (I think)
Anyone got suggestions/ideas on things that have worked for you?
