@MamaSJ15 🙌 you going again tonight lovely? Yours get so dark so quickly I'm jealous. I have THE longest LH surge 🙄

MamaSJ15 · 25/10/2022 07:24

I would say this is my peak this morning! CD15 pretty good for ovulation I think!

@MrsCristianoX 😂 I should have done, but I got cold so decided to move haha. I keep going to bed late and I'm constantly knackered so I'm off to bed! Will update tomorrow when I've done an OPK 👍

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 23:07

@MamaSJ15 hope you're texting with your legs in the air 😂 peak at CD14 it's looking good 🤞 😘

MamaSJ15 · 24/10/2022 23:03

@Hjudge56 @MrsCristianoX woop! Feel like I'm in with a decent chance this cycle. DTD twice in the fertile period. So glad I tested tonight or I wouldn't have made the effort to DTD to be honest! Will test again tomorrow so see when my peak is 😊 New furniture, Ovulating and a pay rise all in one week, must be my lucky week 🤞🤞❤️
Good luck @Hjudge56 hope you get your peak soon!

Hjudge56 · 24/10/2022 20:57

@MamaSJ15 ooooo have a great night haha!!! 🤞🏼

MamaSJ15 · 24/10/2022 20:50

@MrsCristianoX 😂😂 if only, he's busy putting together another set of drawers 😂 wasn't expecting such a high OPK today but I'll work my magic in a bit!

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 20:45

@MamaSJ15 OMG..il leave you both in peace now 😉

MamaSJ15 · 24/10/2022 20:39

@MrsCristianoX yes! 😂😂
I'll put a photo up now. Fast rise this time! Can't believe it, almost didn't test tonight!

@MamaSJ15 how's it looking 🤞

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 20:23

@MamaSJ15 😂😂😂 the video put u off didn't it 😂

MamaSJ15 · 24/10/2022 20:17

@Hjudge56 it's so confusing isn't it!! I always assumed I ovulated around CD14 because of the symptoms but since doing OPK it seems it's around CD18. Had ovulation pains, trapped wind, lots of CM all today. Just done an OPK now so will wait for that to develop and see where I'm at!
@MrsCristianoX still don't think I could bring myself to use that 🙈😂

Hjudge56 · 24/10/2022 19:48

@MrsCristianoX oh dear hopefully AF won’t be too hard on you! Haha yes a make up brush! You have to push it quite high up and I feel like my cervix is quite high!

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 19:44

@Hjudge56 a makeup brush?? See I'm not exactly sure where my cervix is. That sounds really bad but after 3 labours I think it's tilted in a weird way? Even the cervical screening nurse struggles. So I think it's backwards tilted. God help me if u get to try this thing out 😂

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 19:41

@Hjudge56 yea I'm ok🤞 I'm really moody though..I'm due in a few days and have pointless sore boobs 🙄 honestly I thought it was just DH annoying me turns out it's everyone 😂 made for a very enjoyable management meeting today 🙈

Hjudge56 · 24/10/2022 19:28

@MrsCristianoX ah well we DTD a couple hours ago and definitely didn’t boil first 😂😂! Oh well! But I found it easy to insert… just seem to have got the jist that you must insert it far enough so I used an old make up brush to push it… the things we do ey in this TTC journey! Left in for an hour. We shall see!

Kind of used today as a trial run as I’m not sure I’m in my fertile window yet although I’ve definitely had cramps today! No EWCM though!

how are you doing?

MrsCristianoX · 24/10/2022 19:08

@Hjudge56 soo many good reviews on the miscarriage thread..you have to boil it first I'd recommend not doing it in front of anyone 😂 I've not even opened the packet.. yet??

Hjudge56 · 24/10/2022 17:18

@MamaSJ15 hey! Yes I’ve done an OPK the last few days… still a faint line but I’ve had loads of cramps today. So confusing! Planning to DTD tonight just in case! I’m worried I’m going to miss my peak too with OPk… they give me anxiety to be honest

I have also bought a Ferti-lily cup (I believe @MrsCristianoX mentioned these before!!) I definitely do have quite a lot of ‘fall out’ after sex so I wonder if this may help. Not sure if you guys have got any good reviews or stories to send my way but we’ll see!

MamaSJ15 · 24/10/2022 13:22

CD14 for me today. Low OPK. But feel like I'm getting my usual ovulation signs which is odd. I always get trapped wind low down around ovulation time and it's pretty uncomfortable. It's either gonna last a while or I'm gonna get a very quick peak on OPK which I'm doubting!
How's everyone doing today?

alwaysseeingstars · 24/10/2022 09:05

@MrsCristianoX oh my gosh, another tia? That's awful, they're really scary. Please look after yourself and I hope they get things sorted, if the op is worthwhile then I hope they can get you in soon for it! xx

MamaSJ15 · 22/10/2022 22:44

@Hjudge56 have you done an OPK yet?
Mines still low at the moment as expected! Currently CD12 so still got about 6 days till I'm assuming ovulation will occur.

Ncl31 · 21/10/2022 12:39

@iloveeggs he’s okay thank you.
just not nice being woken up at midnight with a distressed phone call.

iloveeggs · 21/10/2022 12:18

@Ncl31 i'm the same except for the stress, hope your grandparent is okay.

Such bad cramps, 2 days late, tests still negative 🙄

Ncl31 · 21/10/2022 12:03

@Hjudge56 no AF this morning. Had a stressful night with a poorly grandparent so maybe that’s scared her off.
The last 2 days I’ve had EWCM so I have no idea. I’ll buy another FRER and do that tomorrow as it will be officially late. However, I have no symptoms at all.

Hjudge56 · 21/10/2022 10:03

@Ncl31 fingers crossed she doesn’t show her ugly head!!!

@MamaSJ15 yes worst is definitely over! Today is the first day all clear and I’ve had some cramping on one side today. Also seem to have a bit of EWCM. Feel like my cycles are all over the shop at the moment I’m only CD7 I don’t know why I’ve got EWCM 😂. Haven’t done an OPK but will soon and see what it’s saying! Some months I’ve ovulated CD11 and others it’s been CD14/15. So that’s why I want to pinpoint it as much as I can this month!

@MrsCristianoX sending you a huge hug! I think I’ll start today as I’m already getting signs of ovulation cramps!
