Mine aren't rising either.. I'm on CD18 and I'm on the 7th day of flashing smiley man. I hate him! Xxxx

@madeofcodes I had a couple of random cycles last year when I ovulated on CD12 and similar to you I only caught the OPKs as they were going back down and only clocked because I was temping too...

0.18... Why does that feel like a victory! 😂 Its really not. Hope you get yours too xxx

Chip131 · 24/02/2023 12:00

Scared im not going to get a surge😢

I feel your pain. I'm worried I missed my surge (if I had one!) im on antibiotics and I wonder if they've mucked up my hormones? I hope you get your surge soon. Keep testing, you never know x

Ok I’m freaking out. I finished my period on Monday it was very heavy bleeding for 4 days. I done pg test on the day of my period and on the second day and it was very very negative. Today cd7 and I did ovulation test and it was very positive and I thought it’s very strange so I did oh test and it’s very very positive. What I’m gonna do now? I been taking clomid this last 5 days 😢 I’m doing emergency scan now but it will no show if I did any harm I’m so freaking out

Hi ladies,

I’d like to join as well please and this is my first post as well on mumsnet 🥹

TTC for #1 dc on my first cycle since my missed miscarriage. I’m CD12.

Really hoping to have a lucky month.

madeofcodes · 23/02/2023 13:31

I only started OPK testing yesterday, and these two are from today. I can't have missed ovulation day could I? I'm CD12 today.

Thanks ladies, I got normal bloods done two weeks ago. All seems fine. Ovulation tests seem to indicate I'm ovulating and my cycle is same every month. Feel atva loss as to why it isn't happening. Doctor did say she doesn't believe in prolonging suffering and said after 6 months if it hasn't happened, she'll run some tests.

@Floralsandsmiles wow what are the chances we are exactly the same!!!! Fingers crossed for both of us!!! Is this your first? How long have you been trying for? I’m on 4th cycle trying and first time trying SMEP but this morning didn’t go to plan 🙄 hope we can catch up tomorrow instead and haven’t ruined our chances by skipping a day xx

I know right @EllieBelly93 ! I'm crossing my fingers for us both too!
This is my 2nd DC and my first cycle ttc #2. There is some age gap between though! Lol I am just getting stressed about it taking so long to get the static face as the longer the ovulation takes, the closer it is to AF. And thats not ever late (bar 1 day sometimes).. that can't be good no? I didn't ttc DC #1, so this is all new to me! Xxx

Me too im also on my 5th day of flashing smilies.. driving me mad. I’m also cycle day 16 so I’m worried I’ll ovulate late and it’ll affect my chances :( 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@EllieBelly93 snap! I'm day 5 of the stupid flashing man and CD16!! What is going on!!! Xx

@madeofcodes thank you! My cycle was 37 days in the end which is unheard of for me so hoping this one is back to normal!

Your plan sounds good! My other aim this month is no excessive googling 😂

That's so strange! I hope you have a normal cycle this time round. Ha! I agree with you there. No googling and no early testing this time. Hopefully it's our lucky month! 🤞

madeofcodes · 22/02/2023 12:51

@Chip131 I'll attach a test I've just done for comparison. Don't forget everyone is different! Just keep testing 🫶

@Mushroo hey! I'm glad AF showed up for you! I'm currently DTD every 2 days until I peak and then I think it's 2-3 days in a row, miss a day and go again. We'll see how that goes this month.

Can I join? :) CD6 for me today! This months strategy is SMEP and DTD every 2 days in between. Need to muster up the energy 🤣
sending baby dust and luck to all

Mushroo · 22/02/2023 11:46

@madeofcodes hi! I remember you from the last thread, hope it’s a lucky month!

Im killing time waiting for AF to disappear. Torn between just DTD every other day, or actually using OPKs.

Does anyone have a view either way on which is best?

Ella31 · 22/02/2023 10:35

My AF arrived on time today despite faint line on frer this morn. Crying all morning, going to have to pick myself up and start all over again. Cycle 5 now.

So sorry Ella, look after yourself. Lots of chocolate and selfcare! Xxx

@Ella31 sending you hugs ❤️ Please stop using FRER the amount of lines I had it’s unbelievable it’s just makes life harder after as I was 100% sure I’m pregnant as well. Don’t be upset, look after yourself, try to relax and it will happen very very soon 🥰
