@MamaSJ15 what's tonight's plan? Just leave it? I honestly wouldn't blame you but I kinda regret not on actual peak day.

MamaSJ15 · 27/09/2022 20:29

@MrsCristianoX I know, I really struggle to understand when it actually happens! I would assume it was when you get all the symptoms, not after 🤷🏼‍♀️
I know right, it's a proper strong line!

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 18:28

@MamaSJ15 that's some line though

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 18:28

@MamaSJ15 I don't think anyone can actually be certain of when ovulation happens without hindsight and temperature changes (not for me at all). It's such a head melter 🙄

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 18:25

@MamaSJ15 I think you are like me get a longish surge which is a pain but makes it easier to catch. Ugh one week til AF

MamaSJ15 · 27/09/2022 18:15

@MrsCristianoX 😂 I think this happened last cycle too. I seem to get my peak on CD18. Still don't quite know if that means ovulation today or tomorrow but I usually go with today

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 18:01

@MamaSJ15 same thing happened to me this month!! Swear to god. I was too sore by the time he got to bed and couldn't 🙈

MamaSJ15 · 27/09/2022 17:54

Did another OPK today, thought it would go down but it's even stronger haha. DTD yesterday and with the moving house and what not we've been knackered so that was a surprise in itself 😂 not gonna push it again tonight, gonna hope that once was enough this time!

@Hjudge56 I'm never late. Like ever. So I'll know soon enough. Good luck with your TWW lovely xx

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 16:44

@Hjudge56 yep..6 I blame progesterone for everything now. It's the devil hormone 😂

Hjudge56 · 27/09/2022 16:37

@MrsCristianoX yes that’s the thing- when you’re not actively remembering/ looking out for symptoms, you don’t remember when or if they happened! I think the rise of progesterone having similar symptoms to early pregnancy is a killer too!

are you 6DPO today did I read?

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 16:22

@Hjudge56 I know! It's hectic the way our bodies mess with our minds. I do get noticeable implantation cramps (I have 3DC as a result) I just can't remember when I got them because we weren't trying. I want to say about 8dpo at a guess but I'm not testing before 12dpo because it's a waste of time and heartache. Xx

Hjudge56 · 27/09/2022 15:48

@MrsCristianoX I think we can be quite similar with cycles and symptoms judging by past cycles too! I always seem prone to the cramps and always wish it’s implantation!!! But there is a good chance it could be at 6DPO!

Yes I mean technically I’ve timed okay but with no OPK tests I don’t know for sure!

hopefully it is the month for us both ❤️

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 15:02

@Hjudge56 your dates are looking good though so 'please let one of us get preggo this month' 🙏🙏🙏

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 15:00

@Hjudge56 you know I always kind of hope it is implantation pain but I just have a feeling this month. It's defo too early for AF pains

I get you completely. My ov day DH looked all keen and I'm like no get away. I wish I had now though 😕 will learn this for next cycle 😅

Hjudge56 · 27/09/2022 14:56

@MrsCristianoX well that sound like good signs to me!

haha yeah mine can be quite uncomfortable and also I get into quite a tired- grumpy mood with ovulation cramps which isn’t attractive either!!

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 14:52

@Hjudge56 mmm I was kinda optimistic but I have mild abdominal cramps today 6dpo and sore boobs on and off

I literally can't DTD when I have ovulation cramping. I bloat too which is extremely attractive 😂

Hjudge56 · 27/09/2022 14:43

Hey ladies! I’m still here too! Not using OPK trying to go by bodily signals 🫠
CD13 today and DTD CD11 and today. I’ve had EWCM for the last 2 days so will see what happens ey! Had Ovulation cramps yesterday so not sure if that means ovulation today or yesterday or in a couple days haha but going with the flow!

how are we all feeling about this cycle?

MrsCristianoX · 27/09/2022 00:13

@MamaSJ15 I'm back at work Thursday coz DH is away I like to be more present for the kids. But yea I've had a lovely day 😊 DH has just told me I can get a new kitchen which I'm over the moon about..ours is ancient so will be planning what I want tomorrow xx

MamaSJ15 · 26/09/2022 23:43

@MrsCristianoX oh yes I also love a good graph! Haha. Ah have you had some lovely time off have you?

MrsCristianoX · 26/09/2022 23:16

@MamaSJ15 literally the only reason I caught it was because I wasn't at work. I'm sure you're wondering does this woman ever work 😂 pretty much guaranteed it'll lead to nothing 🙄

MrsCristianoX · 26/09/2022 23:07

@MamaSJ15 but I have a fabulous graph 😅 I love a graph.

@MrsCristianoX haha, this evening was the first one I've done this cycle and I had to force a wee haha. Definitely positive though! Kinda glad I haven't been obsessing over doing opks for the last 10 days though!

MrsCristianoX · 26/09/2022 22:07

@MamaSJ15 I did an OPK this morning mainly out of boredom. 0.09 like what is that. I could barely see it. Zero hormones in my wee today 😂

MamaSJ15 · 26/09/2022 21:53

@MrsCristianoX 😂😂 I feel like I've got my own cheerleader, loving it 😂❤️
I'm rooting for you though! I'm sure you're time is on its way very soon
