TTC February 2024 ✨

Finally got my solid smiley on my Clear Blue OPK, on the day DH has a sickness bug! Now to hope he gets better asap and we don’t miss the oppurtunity!

Do you have to hold pee for 4 hours for OPK? That's not gonna happen with me 🤣. Gonna start useing them for 1st time this month. Currently on CD7 so gonna wait till Monday.

@ButterflySkies I’ve just got a static smiley! No flashing ones in between, straight from circle to static 🤷🏻‍♀️ we DTD last night, should probably do tonight and tomorrow to cover all bases…?

To be honest, it feels a little less exciting and more like going through the motions since the MMC but it’s only our first cycle back trying again, so I think it’s bound to feel strange.

Take care, hope you get your smilies soon x

@meepthebeep im a static circle still too! To be honest when the stick comes out it looks like one of their early tests with a really bad evap - blue ink all over the place 😂 cd12 for me today, but if i have a 10-14 day LP i could ovulate up to CD19... so I could well have another week to go 😂

Welcome to everyone joining, sending baby dust and luck to everyone xx

Hi all, hope you don't mind me jumping on here. I'm on day 22 (of a completely irregular, long and unpredictable cycle) and I think I'm around 6dpo. I'm driving myself absolutely nuts with the wait and I feel like I need some fellow TTC-ers to chat to.

Been TTC for a year and a half now, had 4 chemical pregnancies, one miscarriage at 7 weeks and another at 10 weeks. Hoping 2024 is the year for all of us 🤞

Hi Everyone 😊 have been reading posts for a few months but first time posting.
currently on CD23 3rd month TTC. woke up this morning with a pressure type feeling, same area where I'd normally feel period cramps. Almost like a dull ache? Has anyone had anything like this before ? Probably symptom spotting 🤣
I believe AF is due next weekend, used OPKs last 2 months to get better idea of my cycle but decided to take a month out of using them as found myself obsessing over them lol

Sending lots of baby dust💫

Finally managed to hold a wee long enough to accurately do a Clear Blue OPK (4 hours 😰) and I’ve still got a blank circle, but when I ejected the test, there’s a clear second line there that’s getting darker each day, so at least it looks like things are on the right lines and I should get a peak soon 🙂

Hope everyone’s doing ok x

BFN at 10dpo for me, which is when I’ve usually got a positive in the past so fairly sure I’m out for this cycle. Onto the next one and hoping for a better month in Feb!

Tested this morning- 8DPO/AF due Monday. BFN- not surprised at all but I've been so crampy I thought I'd be nosy. I'm 99% sure I'm a no this cycle so will just wait for AF and start a fresh!

Thank you @ButterflySkies, I’m the same as you, I’ve started now so want to see it through and get a smilie 😄 I’ve only got enough tests to see me till Tuesday, but Premom reckons ovulation will be Monday, so we’ll see. Flo says tomorrow which I don’t think is accurate, but things are definitely going in that direction, judging from EWCM.

Good luck with your testing 😊

@ButterflySkies yeah I tested 6 days early on a 6 day early clear blue are they not very accurate...I've 100% faith in clear blue🤔
Once I know I can move on in my head...the not knowing kills me...told hubby I tested he was devasted....but sure I just find the tww a mental killer....once I test and know I can move on....I've cramps since wayvover 2 weeks but tgey have calmed down now...I was cramping way earlier that usual I'm normally just have day before cramping...anyways will know in couple days....

Ahhhhh @Noisinmaro and @babycandy you're testing so early, you never know til AF shows! Fingers crossed for you both, keep us posted!

@meepthebeep im using them for the first month, and im CD10 today! 29 day cycle. No smiley for me either. FWIW, I think those apps have my ovulation early... im going to keep testing, ive started now so ill see it through, because im interested to see what they say compared to what i think...

@MrsRandallFraser it could be, the TTW is so long and annoying isnt it. Id keep busy and stay very hopeful!! And you too @Bey

@RW269 how are we doing with cover all bases approach? We are now three for three, a full 12 days to go 😂

Well I assume I am out.....I thought I ovulated a few days ago but I had cramping Monday night early Tuesday morning then alot of EWCM Tuesday evening. DH did not want to dtd Monday or Tuesday. Sssoooo.....I think we missed the boat. We did did several times end-of last week and the weekend days but do not think that will do it. So I am counting myself out.

The smep suggests you dtd on ovulation day and the two days after so I'd go for today and tomorrow

Could use some outside perspective if anyone can help...

CD18 for me today. I've got two apps saying O day was CD12 (18/1) and one saying it was CD14 (20/1). I've been using OPKS and they were slightly darker on CD 11 and 12 - still came up as negative on the app though. Then back to v light ever since. We DTD CD18, 21 and 23 - DP was away in between unfortunately.

Today I've had some very very faint spotting, could this be implantation bleeding? My Flo app says it would happen today or the next few days. Trying not to get my hopes up but I never have any sort of spotting in between periods. Slight cramping as well, but I think this is totally in my head since I noticed the spotting 😂

I’d probably go for tomorrow as well, just in case? Totally not an expert though!

I’m trying to get my head around the Clear Blue digital ovulation sticks (the pink ones). My Flo app is predicting ovulation on Saturday and Premom is predicting on Monday. I’ve used the Clear Blues for the past 3 days in the afternoons, and still only have blank circles. I’m on CD10 and normally have 26-28 day cycles. Would you be expecting a flashing smilie by now? I wanted to use them just out of curiosity but I feel like I’ve given myself something else to worry about 🤦🏻‍♀️

I got one this morning :( too… so looks like I’m joining you @Noisinmaro x

Think I'm out for Jan got a BFN yesterday so onto Feb due AF sunday....

I think I’m going to ovulate today (LH peak last night). We DTD last night and then two days before then. Would you DTD today and tomorrow, or just today?

Starting my TWW tomorrow, we've dtd every other day, hoping to tomorrow too but not sure we'll manage as hubby going away for work (typical) I really don't think it's going to happen for us this cycle. Doubt I'll manage to wait two weeks before testing either. May test at day 10 so next weekend, urgh still such a long time. Anyone else about to start the tww?

I’m eating like a pig tonight and worried it means my period will arrive within the week :(
