👋 hello everyone, I’m back. I haven’t managed to catch up on all messages but hoping you’re all ok. 2dpo here but only managed to dtd once the day before ovulation due to dht working late at nights. Strangely I’m feeling ok about it even though I’m most likely not going to get a positive result at the end of this month. It’s somehow eased the pressure a bit and I think we’ll get back to a better routine in March 🤞 also it gives me a chance to take my fertility test - I couldn’t do it last month as day 3 landed on a work day and I’ve got too much to do in the mornings without adding that in the mix 🤣

@Cazzy87 urgh how selfish of him haha. Sounds good…maybe just aim for when you’re both home from work rather than late at night

@Lowrilawson everyone has different levels hun, don’t worry. As long as it was the darkest test. Also it may have dried different

@4LeafCloverBaby premom is worrying me a bit, I finally downloaded the app and put my highest test in and it said it's only 0.86 but I had the slippy discharge so I must have ovulated, well I hope xx

Lowrilawson · 07/02/2024 20:00

@4LeafCloverBaby I'm hoping, I mean my boobs are really sore on and off some twinges but yeah the opks, I had a look and they are darker than the ones I did before my positive opk, I didn't do an ovulation test after my line went a bit faded, I wish I had now xx

@Lowrilawson hmmm that’s interesting isn’t it! After I ovulated my opk went back to hardly a line at all & I don’t know when they got dark again. I tested on an opk after the positive preg test. Oooooo I’m really hoping for you!!! x

Lowrilawson · 07/02/2024 19:54

@Cazzy87 yes I did! I could literally pinpoint where my ovaries were as the pain was right there. Some women even get a little spotting at ovulation. Have you done a test tonight?

OP posts:
Cazzy87 · 07/02/2024 19:30

Getting some serious cramps this evening like pms cramps anyone else have this at ovulation? Mostly down left side x

@Lowrilawson i didn’t get sore boobs until 11dpo…I kept poking them thinking are they sore hahaha

OP posts:
Lowrilawson · 07/02/2024 12:15

@4LeafCloverBaby that's very true I'm 5dpo I think today and my boobs are so sore, I'm in work wanting to take my bra off as it's hurting on the inner side and underneath so maybe🤷🏻‍♀️ or could just still be progesterone aha xx

4LeafCloverBaby · 07/02/2024 12:11

@Lowrilawson well I saw the weird stomach movements at 5DPO (wish I could post vids on here) & then just knew from then…so it could be that you have some kind of intuition. I guess just try & stay grounded so as not to be too disappointed if it’s not x

OP posts:
Lowrilawson · 07/02/2024 12:09

@4LeafCloverBaby yeah! I hate the wait, I feel different this month and definitely getting some symptoms but I just feel like I'll be disappointed again xx

@Lowrilawson yeah it’s worth a shot isn’t it 😊🤞🏼🍀

OP posts:
Lowrilawson · 07/02/2024 12:04

@4LeafCloverBaby I have been doing it orally, not sure about whether my mouth stays closed or not ahah, I have been doing it vaginally, with a different thermometer and seems I get a better reading, maybe next month I'll do it vaginally if I haven't caught xx

4LeafCloverBaby · 07/02/2024 11:54

@Cazzy87 I found that turning the flash on when I took the pic on Premom helps get a better reading. 🤞🏼 Hopefully tonight’s will be lighter & then you know that you’ve ovulated! Im feeling ok thanks, little waves of feeling a bit weak & shakey & tender boobs & cramps but that’s all so far. Really hoping I don’t get the sickness 🙏🏼🤞🏼I booked a scan for 10weeks but I’ve also just booked a scan for this Sunday just to make sure I’m not spending the next 4 weeks looking forward to a scan for no reason. There won’t be much to see on this scan but hey may be able to see a heartbeat ☺️x

@Lowrilawson I always did it under my tongue because I sleep with my mouth closed so it’s reliable for me. x

Cazzy87 · 07/02/2024 11:48

@Lowrilawson thanks i have some easy home ones coming from ebay so if this cycle is unsuccessful i will use them next month

Lowrilawson · 07/02/2024 11:43

@4LeafCloverBaby I wanted to ask did you do your temperature orally or vaginally? X

Lowrilawson · 07/02/2024 11:19

@Cazzy87 I would say to use the easy@home ones as I always have and they are really easy to read, there's no app I don't think but they are so easy you won't need an app xx

Cazzy87 · 07/02/2024 11:18

@4LeafCloverBaby i do but it didn't seem to read these opks very well when i tried, i will test again tonight and see what the line looks like and try the premom app on it too, how are you feeling?

4LeafCloverBaby · 07/02/2024 11:13

@Cazzy87 you will have to see if tonight’s is darker or lighter. Last night looks darkest to me so far. Do you have the Premom app where you can scan the test & it gives you the reading?

OP posts:
Cazzy87 · 07/02/2024 10:58

@4LeafCloverBaby thats what i struggle to determine - my darkest test 🙈 this photo was from last night at 7pm ish - bottom being last nights test and the past 6 days
