Oh my goodness! 8dpo today too and I just caved and got BFN before checking back here! I've been getting my hopes up so sort of did it hoping the neg result would bring me back down to earth a little bit! Feel pants now, maybe the hope was better... Blush

Well I've just learnt something new ... you release your egg on average 10-12 hits from your peak opk ... and it's around 36 hours from the start of the surge... why didn't I already know this. I thought you had a while after a peak.

*so doesn't likely mean anything (been a long day!)

cocoforbes · 16/12/2021 22:39

Hope you ovulate soon @Newbiemg, keep us updated 😊

I've had some light cramping today but that happened around this time last month I think so I don't likely doesn't mean anything, probably just wind! 🙈 I'm 5dpo today and my bbt went up a bit, hopefully it continues to rise.

I can wait to finish work for the year... last day is next Tuesday!

Newbiemg · 16/12/2021 21:40

@Newbiemg

Hello *@SurfWaves*

Another day of flashing smileys for me CD11. Not much change but I do think I’m noticing small signs that ovulation could be coming.

How are you? Smile

Let's hope you get a solid smiley soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@cocoforbes me too! Feels so good to be able to talk it all out!

cocoforbes · 15/12/2021 22:18

Haha @frenchie4002 it's too true!! I can't believe I was so oblivious all of this before starting ttc, people just don't tend to talk about it. I'm so glad to have found these chats, otherwise I think I might be worried about my sanity!

frenchie4002 · 15/12/2021 22:08

Thank you @cocoforbes xxx

I wish I could but I don’t think I’ll be able to! Going to wait as long as I can though. I’m a teacher so busy finishing up the term for the next few days then having a weekend away so won’t be testing until Monday 20th earliest but will try and hold out a bit longer. I know what you mean about symptom spotting. I had no symptoms pre bfp last time, just AF like cramps a week before. I feel like you become more in tune with your body though whilst ttc which is a blessing and a curse! Every twinge I’m like OMG what’s that?!

cocoforbes · 15/12/2021 22:01

Thanks @Bessiebum and so sorry for you loss @frenchie4002 ❤️

@SurfWaves nice one for managing to BD. It's so hard to fit it in sometimes but at least you know you've done all you can for this month!

@frenchie4002 I definitely won't be holding out for a missed period. I just can't keep away from those tests! Are you going to try and hold out?

In my last and only pregnancy I got sore boobs around this time (4dpo) and I know it is way too early for pregnancy symptoms and the logical part of my brain knows that every pregnancy can be different but I feel a bit deflated today.

My temp has increased after OV but it's a much lower jump than last month, only 0.1C, hopefully it'll go up a bit more. This is only my second cycle temping so I don't have much to compare it to.

frenchie4002 · 15/12/2021 21:25

Hi everyone. Can I join? Only just in the tww too and already driving myself crazy😂 I also had a miscarriage recently - had the ERPC in October and a painful period 24th November following a longer cycle than normal at 35 days. If I’ve gone back to normal cycle (of 30 days) which I’ll be expecting AF around Xmas eve. Are we all trying to hold out for a missed period until testing?
@Jayjane79 those cheap tests sound good will have to give those a go! Buying frer all the time works out so expensive

Bessiebum · 15/12/2021 20:59

Hi all! Thought I'd join this thread, ov day was Sun/Mon! AF due 25/26th. Second month trying for baby no.2! Condolences to those who have recently experienced losses, it's truly awful. Flowers

Here is 11dpo .. well worth 2 for 99p.

Ovulation day whos with me??
cocoforbes · 14/12/2021 14:19

Oh wow! Gotta get myself to home bargains!

Jayjane79 · 14/12/2021 14:00

@cocoforbes

So sorry to hear about your MC *@Jayjane79* it's the worst ❤️

I totally wouldn't have waited either but we got married in September so we held off just so we could relax and enjoy the wedding. Started again as soon as we got back from our honeymoon!

I will also be spending a fortune on FRERs. I have some cheapies too but if I test with them I always wonder if the result would be different on a FRER and so retest with a FRER anyway!

When i fell pregnant last month I found the cheap tests at home bargains were just as sensitive as the FRER. The ones that are 2 for 99p, I couldn't believe it. I will get a few of those in this time and see how it goes.
