The month of valentines, pancakes and lot’s of BFP’s! 🤞🏻❤️

@Tandabear I see it!! Congrats. Hope it sticks for you. Keep us updated :)

Only on CD 4 here so another week til I can start properly again!

Another blank circle on clearblue this morning but a darker easy@home and the lines on the clearblue stick were way darker than yesterday aswell, I don't get flashing smileys normally just straight to static. I'm hoping for ovulation tomorrow or Thursday as me and DP are both off work and I won't have to tell him I'm ovulating so no stress on him then 🙈

@Tandabear congratulations easy to see that line 🎉

@tandabear ohh I definitely see it 🎉 fingers crossed for your sticky bean and remember every pregnancy is its own and this could just be a bit of spotting 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@tandabear that's so exciting.. Any pics for the squinter fans out here?? I'd say that covid is more viral and I've had it twice now with mild flu like symptoms. I don't think it can have much of an impact so long as you aren't too bad. Keep your temperature down and get cosy for your isolation to help that little bean stick further

Morning ladies, jumping over from the January thread and can see some familiar names 😊 I'm still in my TWW and AF is due on 28th/29th. No real crazy symptoms to spot apart from increased lotion cm but that's normal after you ovulate right?
We tried opks properly this month and got my peak on 13th so we shall see what this cycle brings...

Sorry I meant "FSH" in below message and the answer is yes 😂 Thanks google! Don't worry about replying ladies, now it's just a case of getting the phlebotomist to believe me 🤞

Help ladies! Anyone had bloods done for fertility before? I was talking to a GP about something else and mentioned TTC and he said they'd just do some bloods at the same time as my other test.

But .... he's muddled all the day 2-5 & day 21 bloods up.

I know it's progesterone both tests. But is that it? Do they test TSH as well both tests?

Poor health care assistant is trying to work out which are for today and which for days 21!

I’m going to use the CB advanced OPK, I know they are expensive but I like the flashing smiley’s and then static…..gives you a bit of warning!

@Cookiedough123 it depends how long your cycle is? There's normally a little chart in there to say. And it also depends what sort of tests they are? Are they the strips or the CBs?

Fingers crossed for you this cycle @arianasky :)

I am debating doing the CB OPK, have used them previously. So far this time I’ve only done basic OPKs

So my ovulation tests came today. My last day of my period today. When would you start testing?

@Tandabear also an early tester, vowed I won't this cycle after my CP but I know it'll be different when I get to it 🙈

@Bringonbaby3 ah makes sense then hopefully in the next few days I'll ovulate then can join the TWW

Can I join please? TTC number 2. This will be cycle 2, covid kind of got in the way of cycle 1.
I only really came off the pill November so I’ve got some clear blue ovulation tests to make sure we are DTD at the optimum time, plus I had a short cycle last month so not sure what’s going on.
Turned 41 last week, and we’ve said that we will try for 12 months before calling it a day and be thankful we have our DS. Feeling sad that we’re already 1 cycle down

@newjourney21 this happened to me this month also and I ended up getting a peak on CD17 despite getting other symptoms (pain and ewcm) on CD15. Usually I ovulate on CD15 so I think it might be the booster - have heard it can affect ovulation and AF a bit the following cycle. But you may have just missed it!

@Decaffe the dr told me the day before and the day after so I'd go for 12 and 14. If you can do 10 as well?!

@Tandabear I’m similar to you and an early tester! I really should have learnt my lesson as I’ve been upset by chemicals but I still like to know what’s going on in my body so I know I will be the same in this upcoming cycle.

@arianasky I definitely get boob symptoms around ovulation time! Can’t work out if it’s the LH surge or ovulation itself but mine suddenly go bigger and painful!

Apart from EWCM does anyone else get any other symptoms around ovulation? I've been getting stabbing pains in my left breast this evening enough to make me stop and notice! The only other time I've felt similar is when I was pregnant? I'm not pregnant definitely maybe a ovulation symptom? How strange

My AF is also three days @Curlywurly3

We were going to follow @Purple29’s method this month but DH has had to do another sperm sample. The timing of this has meant we can’t do Purple’s method so instead we’re just going to go for every other day throughout the next two weeks, which is a new approach for us.

I’m going to presume I ovulate on CD13 so what do you think would be best to aim for? The days …12 and 14 or days …11, 13 and 15?

Hi all hope you'll let me join. DTD today and about to ovulate (had steep increase in LH today. Bit nervous as we have a 10 month old 😂😬😬

Hi all, I have been in the background for a while as trying not to get too obsessive, but today is the last day of my fertile window and I've had signs over the weekend (EWCM, cramping, headaches) but no high reading on OPKS yet. Been doing them morning and evening and always low. Has anyone else experienced this? Im using the pre mom sticks. I'm sure I have ovulated as the exact same symptoms last month when I got high OPK readings. Dtd on Friday and was hoping to do on O day also but guessing I missed that now! CD16 for me to add
