Definitely keep testing I’ve been using an app untill now and have realised I ovulate more than a week later than I’ve always thought ! All those wasted cycles tuning it by that week 🙈

ive also started taking 7 seas ttc vitamins and my cycle has gone from 27 days to 31 not sure if this will help or not ? Anyone else tried any vitamins or supplements?

@Hardly123 keep testing, my app said I should've ovulated on sunday, but I didn't get the static smiley until yesterday. Apparently it varies for each person :-)x

Can I ask your advice?

I tracked one cycle only before TTC and came out with a 35 day cycle.

Due to a combination of illness and Christmas, I only started monitoring by using clearblue OPK on day 17 of my 35 day cycle. Day 17 I had low fertility and every day since then - 18, 19, 20 I've had the flashing smiley face and we've DTD on each of these three days.

However I have never had the peak, static smiley.

Do you think I may have missed my ovulation, or not be ovulating? I am a bit confused. Did I start too late testing and DTD in my 35 day cycle?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi guys,
Please can I join🥺?
I'm 27, trying for baby number 2!
It's our first month trying, I got a static smiley face on my ovulation test yesterday, we DTD the day before the smiley, the day of and then again today.
I didn't have to use the ovulation sticks last time because my daughter was a surprise so it's all new to me.

Sending lots of baby dust to you all✨

Would love to join.
TTC#1 never been pregnancy before, this is officially cycle #8 over 15 months as I had some very long cycles early on, just the last 3 months they’ve seemed to have settled down to 30-34 days.
this morning I had an HSG to check my tubes are patent, which they are.

Great that your tubes are ok:)
