@MamaSJ15 I'm glad it's climbing. I read that lh surges at night and hits the urine at 6-8 hours later so best time to test is afternoon but who knows🤷‍♀️ it's defo not practical for working mums

MamaSJ15 · 26/08/2022 20:50

@MrsCristiano premom currently says tomorrow is ovulation day but I guess it depends what the tests say. It was CD18 last cycle so who knows!

MamaSJ15 · 26/08/2022 20:48

@MrsCristiano I've just done another tonight and it's gone up a bit, I have a feeling it's gonna be a slow climb. Will see in the morning I guess. I didn't track at all when TTC my first but it also didn't take too long. After chemical and miscarriage it's thrown everything out of whack so this is why I'm trying to figure it all out. It seems we may have been missing ovulation, I just assumed the ovulation pains meant I was ovulating 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

@Alice1608 it's a bit frustrating really, but we'll figure it out hopefully haha!

MrsCristiano · 26/08/2022 20:05

@MamaSJ15 I dunno how I feel about OPKs now. You may have a really short peak not like the 3 day one I had 🙄 literally the only time I've successfully got pregnant was when I wasn't using them but I was so much younger. Premom says I'm on ovulation day but I'm not convinced. Think I'm at the start of the TWW 😩

Alice1608 · 26/08/2022 18:37

@MamaSJ15 it's all trial and error isn't it when understanding cycle, so confusing! Sorry you are unsure and its making you question stuff, that's the worst! Xx

MamaSJ15 · 26/08/2022 18:19

@Alice1608 still low tonight. Im starting to wonder if this is why we've not had much luck conceiving yet, I never used to do OPK, I went off the ovulation pains I get but according to these tests, I get the pains days before I ovulate?! I must ovulate later in the cycle than I thought!

Alice1608 · 26/08/2022 18:11

@MamaSJ15 how did the test go tonight? How are you today? Xx

MamaSJ15 · 26/08/2022 13:56

So I'm on CD15, been having ovulation pain yesterday and today and just had a load of EWCM which I don't usually get much of actually. OPK this morning was still pretty low but I'm guessing ovulation is on its way. Will do another test when I get home from work and see how DH feels tonight 👍
How's everyone doing today?

@Crazycatlady19 aww there is still hope! Don't give up until you have AF! Xxx

Crazycatlady19 · 25/08/2022 20:21

Reckon I'm out already this month. Getting all my normal TOTM cravings... sugar and salt. 😞

Alice1608 · 25/08/2022 18:23

@MrsCristiano omg this is amazing! So proud for you! All that hard work paid off! Now yes, DH get you pregnant haha xxx

MamaSJ15 · 25/08/2022 18:00

@MrsCristiano oh wow that is a strong line!!
Brilliant news on the grades! It's so good that she's proud of herself too 😊
Another low on tonight's test 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Crazycatlady19 ah yeah that's fair enough 😂 it is a nice thought isn't it.

MrsCristiano · 25/08/2022 17:37

@Alice1608 she is so proud and I'm beaming! She's getting a special honours blazer too. Now DH, get me pregnant again please😂

Alice1608 · 25/08/2022 17:21

Omg @MrsCristiano your DD is amazing!!! Xxxx

MrsCristiano · 25/08/2022 17:02

@Crazycatlady19 she just told DH she's proud! She's never proud of herself. One of the grades was a number 8 so I think that's an A. We still do old grades in NI

Crazycatlady19 · 25/08/2022 16:56

@MrsCristiano Good god! Your DD is a genius!! Hope she's celebrating her success today! Fantastic results.

@MamaSJ15 she's in bed by 7.15 and normally asleep by around 8. I think it's more that DH does a sort of v early shift so he leaves the house at 6 and regardless of how hard I plead he doesn't "do" quiet. EVER. 😂But he always brings us both breakfast in bed so I can't complain too much. If I'm honest I normally save it until a more reasonable hour but the thought is there, bless him.

I've been eating like a pig today - tired and fed up and a bit crampy but tbh that could be some muscular ache from my exercise class last night. 😬

alwaysseeingstars · 25/08/2022 16:12

@MrsCristiano oh I highly doubt he was complaining 😆

MrsCristiano · 25/08/2022 14:49

@alwaysseeingstars to clarify he wasn't complaining 😂 in case I sound like a melter 😅

MrsCristiano · 25/08/2022 14:39

@alwaysseeingstars yes! Bless her so pleased for her 🥰

As for the OPKs absolutely no idea what's happening BUT last CP I ovulated 5 days later and this is looking similar. I pinned DH down this morning so will wait and see now 🙈

alwaysseeingstars · 25/08/2022 14:30

@MrsCristiano that's amazing, huge congrats to your DD! You must be so proud 😍
Re the OPK's... no idea 😂how odd!

MrsCristiano · 25/08/2022 14:16

@MamaSJ15 they are just mental today. I'm starting to get a bit worried fully expecting dye stealer later 😂
