I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now!

Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

@Bubblesandballoons that’s a good peak! And sounds like you’ve defo DTD enough especially if you manage tomorrow too.

I think I will get my peak either tonight or tomorrow. I usually get it in the evening but not usually until CD15/16.

@Sunshine92 no I don’t but I do about 5 days before AF arrives which I hate as it always makes me think I’m pregnant.

MrsGrealish · 11/03/2022 11:25

@Bubblesandballoons such a peak!!

Bubblesandballoons · 11/03/2022 11:03

Does anyone get emotional around ovulation time…asking for a friend šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚ currently crying at moana sing along videos 🧐

@Charl881 that sounds amazing! So jealous! 😲 šŸŒž

Charl881 · 11/03/2022 07:25

@MrsGrealish we are off to Tenerife, first time I’ve been all inclusive as we usually self cater so if I’m not pregnant I’ll definitely enjoy taking advantage of all the food and drink! It will be my DS’s first holiday abroad so if I’m not pregnant at least I won’t be plagued by morning sickness and tiredness and can properly enjoy it.

[quote MrsGrealish]@ablisha it's called 'premom' and it's free! It works with lots of OPKs but the one they recommend is easy@home ovulation strips.

Thank you! I'll download

Ooh where you heading? Last year I booked an all inclusive week in Greece at the end of this May. @Charl881

Seriously doubting this month will work but at least I'll feel sunshine in a few months

Charl881 · 10/03/2022 21:24

@MrsGrealish good luck!!

I’m annoyed as I’ve just looked at dates and realised we won’t be able to try next cycle as OH is away for my whole fertile week. Not too gutted as it means I know I won’t be pregnant when we go on our first abroad holiday since covid (unless it happens this cycle), but just feel like it’s getting further and further away from when I thought I would conceive if that makes sense.

@MrsGrealish

Getting close to peak šŸ™Œ
What app is this please?
Bubblesandballoons · 10/03/2022 20:32

@BiscuitLover3678 did you do an opk today?
@MrsGrealish those lines are looking great.
@Charl881 i had no idea when I would šŸ˜‚, I used to ovulate around cd14, so back to normal, hoping that’s a good sign. I used the cb digital and conceived my son, but this time round, I think probably because of the miscarriages they have def been more stressful than anything else

Charl881 · 10/03/2022 19:35

@MrsGrealish I’m guessing Peak tonight or tomorrow! Good luck.

@Bubblesandballoons Has your peak shown when expected? Next month I think I’m gonna go back to just using the CB ones where you get an empty circle or a peak, no flashing smilies. The flashing ones are too annoying and the easy@home ones are too much like hard work.

I feel like a lot of us are having weird months. All my opk have been negative but I have been testing at odd times. Might try again today. Should be me ovulation day due to apps (I’m on about 4 and they all agree today) so who knows.

Bubblesandballoons · 10/03/2022 12:41

Welcome @Tinkerbell098 and @ali2021 hope this is your lucky cycle
how’s everyone doing? Dunno what my body is doing this cycle. Had a blank circle on clear blue again this morning, but had more cm yest, so thought would of been at least a flashing smiley. Then did a opk late morning and it was dark, not positive tho, so I decided to dip the clear blue just to see if was flashing now and got peak, so gone from 11 flashing smileys last month to none this one šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø.

MrsGrealish · 10/03/2022 07:49

I suppose it can peak so quickly you'd likely miss it if you weren't testing enough..still gonna POAS today can't go cold turkey šŸ˜‚

Charl881 · 10/03/2022 07:44

Yeah first time I used easy@home tests I didn’t get anything close to a peak but I was using the clear blue tests at the same time and I got one on there. Maybe they’re not the most accurate!

I always remind myself that DTD regularly is more important than targeting a specific day or two anyway. Easier said than done though!

MrsGrealish · 10/03/2022 07:44

@ali2021 😳 what a gimmick then because I have loads of EWCM just low readings. Thank u for this little nugget of info!

ali2021 · 09/03/2022 23:22

Hi everyone! Going to jump on board and join you lovely ladies in wait!! Hoping for a Dec baby too šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž TTC for 10 mths and becoming very disillusioned with the whole process!
Just in relation to your easy@home dilemmas above.. I also was using these last month for the first time. I similarly recorded v low readings all month and assumed I didn't ovulate. However, I'd gone to doc on day 3 and day 21 and turns out I had ovulated.. doc was very happy with my progesterone levels! So don't be too worried if you don't appear to get a peak reading 😃

Charl881 · 09/03/2022 22:19

@MrsGrealish yeah covid could well effect it as well! Apparently the first part of your cycle can always vary in length whereas the second part is meant to be the same each time.

Sunshine92 · 09/03/2022 21:23

@Charl881 yeah, hopefully it’s just later this month šŸ¤žšŸ» I usually ovulate around CD14 which is today. But last month I had an unusually long cycle. Nearly always bang on 28 days and regular as clockwork but I was 33 days last month… so, who knows!

MrsGrealish · 09/03/2022 21:06

@Charl881 @Sunshine92 mine started high I think because of chemical but dropped really quickly so CD15 and still really low. I've still the odd covid joint aches so am thinking my body is in recovery mode.
DTD last night and day 6/7 but it felt like a struggle..šŸ˜•

@BiscuitLover3678 glad DH is feeling better! Hopefully in time for ovulation..and yes the month is dragging.

Gonna keep testing anyway in case it's just a delayed ovulation but I'm rarely late
