Trying for a November baby 🎇🍁🥮

@pinkpirlie do you use the easy@home sticks? I used other IC ones which were never dark. I like this coz it's links to an Premom app on the phone
Though god knows. I had EWCM today and yesterday so hoping that's ovulation signs. Also don't judge me we DTD with masks on tonight 😂 he was surprisingly up for it😅 what has my life become 😂

@MrsGrealish
Is it normal to get so many dark OPKs?
Your CD11 one is about as dark as I ever see, and I will only ever see that on one stick. The others will be blank.
I've been testing twice a day. About 1pm and 6pm.

CD13. I think peak has happened. OH has covid so he's feeling rough. Kinda wish I had done SMEP now😕

CD 9 or 10 for me today (not entirely sure when to count from this month as AF arrived in the evening!)

So I’m going to start testing and DTD from tomorrow, I usually ovulate on about day 17 and following SMEP this month for the first time. I’ve been full of a cold though so not sure how that will go!

I'm now on CD18.

Decided to do some trakcing in the end this month, as been a year since I stopped and had some weird cycles.

No peak on OPKs at all yet (but I didn't manage to test Saturday as I was out all day).
Had a tiny bit of EWCM, over the weekend, but temps still low and steady at 36.4.
Going to continue DTD EOD until my temp rises and keep fingers crossed.

How is everyone else doing?

@Coastaldreamer lol glad I’m not the only one. Hopefully this will be our cycle and we can save some pennies next month 😂

@Bubblesandballoons lol I totally get you. I did a bulk buy on the one step HCG tests too once AF arrived 😳

@Coastaldreamer I was just using the cheap ones, but got a really good deal on the clear blue and used it with my first, so thought I’d use that too as it couldn’t hurt 🙈. Bit of an ott moment after the miscarriages

Me!

Starting ttc after this cycle (CD 1 should be 27th Feb), if I fell straight away it would be a November baby as I’m always induced at 37 weeks.

Here’s hoping for all of us ✨ 🍀

@Bubblesandballoons fingers crossed 🤞🏽

I just use the cheap ones as I find they work well for me. I'll do one a day till they get darker and then twice a day. I'm on CD 10 but I think ov will be later this month x

@Coastaldreamer glad it’s finally stopped, not yet, still low opks, but on day 5 of flashing smileys now 🤷🏼‍♀️. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. I’m on cd13, and I normally ovulate on cd15, so hoping cheap opk at lunchtime will show its on the rise. Hopefully my body is using the time to make a nice thick lining for the egg 🤞🏻. You using cheap opks or cheaper blue?

@Bubblesandballoons how're you getting on? Did you get your solid smiley?

Finally starting my OPKs from today. The chemical made my period last for about 8 days!

@IsabelHerna no but interested to see what answers you get as I’ve been looking into different supplements but it’s just a minefield!

Hey everyone! So, I've got a question, my sister suggested I start taking Mollers for omega-3, for an extra fertility boost. I haven't heard anything about it has anyone else tried it?

@Bubblesandballoons that's so good! My test was barely visible today😕

Did my clear blue today and got a flashing smiley, so hoping that means that the chemical hasn’t messed this cycle up. Got some cheap opks too to double check.
@Ft23You are looking for the test line to be as dark as the control line, and most say not to use fmu, test after 10am. Also when they start getting darker test twice a day, so there’s less chance of you missing your peak. If you have an issues/questions, then just shout, sure there are a few of us on here that can help out

Hi, hope its ok to join? Channeling some positive vibes in the hope of a Nov baby :) I'm TTC #1 cycle 2, going to try and use OPK's this month but not really sure what to do with them - they are some cheapies off amazon so hoping they are easy to read... any advice appreciated!

Last two months I've had 34/35 day cycles which feels like ages, so will be no testing for me until early March. Anyone else got a longer cycle? Hope you're all ok!

@Charl881 and for you too! 🤞🏽
I know what you mean. I just want to get preg..! DH telling me it'll happen when it happens but obviously my brain isn't working like that

@Coastaldreamer that’s reassuring! I’ve never tried it before but I’m much more impatience to conceive this time than I was with DS weirdly. Fingers crossed for you!

@Bubblesandballoons well I never used these tests before, I just went by physical signs of ovulation. At that worked 3 times! So if I wasn’t testing now, I’d still be DTD at all the same times because my physical signs are perfect.

A lot of us trying again after chemical.

Yep @Charl881 we're trying SMEP again this month as it worked except for the chemical. It also worked when we had DD so I have a lot of faith in it! It's tiring for sure @MrsGrealish

Hopefully last day of AF and then can get tracking with OPKs again

@MrsGrealish it’s DTD every other day until you get your peak, then three days in a row from then (including day of first peak), then one day off, then DTD again for luck. It’s a lot but I think I’ve been stopping DTD too early in the cycle so hoping it will work for me 🤞🏻

Hello Lovelies

Hope you don't mind me joining. Currently CD 6 after a chemical pregnancy (I was 5 weeks) and we've decided 'not to prevent' and see what happens.

Fingers crossed for us all to get November babies ❤

Is the SMEP thing dtd every other day? If so then there's no chance of OH going along with it..he's just told me he's soo tired atm🙄

I'm gonna add Q10 into my daily vitamins this month and keep an eye on the LH levels. And pounce when needed 😂

Welcome @Chanel05, hopefully this will be a lucky cycle for you
@MrsGrealish sorry about your chemical. There are a couple of us trying again this month after chemicals.
@PamelaDoov how annoying for you. Maybe go with your gut and don’t worry about the tests.

I’m on cd8 and I’ve finally stopped bleeding, so tomorrow I am going to start tracking with opks
