@JKDcot the static smiley means you will ovulate in the next 48h I think. So it might be ok

Please can I join!? I’m 42 trying to conceive no 2. I have a 4 year old who we conceived in cycle 2.

I used the clear blue ovulation tests and confused this month. Went straight from O result to static smiley face? I had the static on Saturday morning. Felt some ovulation pains in the afternoon but didn’t have sex until Sunday evening as my husband was away. I assume from all I read it’s too late after ovulation to work…. I didn’t know it could go from O to static smiley face so quickly? Anyone else?

@lochmaree 😔 welcome to the club. Onwards with another cycle! I'm on CD3.

4DPO and I’ve started to symptom spot - got white mucuous discharge, headache, fatigue and now I’ve convinced myself that the discharge is a promising sign 🫣

@lochmaree I am sorry 😞

The need to pee on something constantly is just ridiculous... I bought ovulation strips last night so I'll be desperate to start using them ASAP. I think I've ovulated already as had pain this morning and EWCM started when my period finished last week - this AM I jumped on my husband and was like we need to do it now before work! I know the pain can mean it's too late though so we'll wait and see. I'll probably still start using the sticks though just in case! Honestly it's such a drama isn't it, it's the constant waiting and not knowing and also trying to do everything I can to have the best chance of conceiving. Thinking of you all! Xx

@LS888 I was v similar to you pre baby absolute clockwork pretty much to the minute. Now typically 28-30 so still quite regular but not as close as before. I think you're right I will definitely try the OPKs next month if not pg this month, would be curious to see if I am right or wrong. Oh I do hope this is both of our months though!

@lochmaree Oh so sorry 😢 rest up and treat yourself today with something you love!!

@MyGardenDaisies Ah i have everything crossed for you!! I’m going to try my very best to wait till 18th earliest! I just need to keep busy!

AF turned up today 😓

@dellarossa @Pipersgirl good luck! Hope you get BFP this weekend! 🤞

@Pipersgirl I’m 7dpo too! Have found it easy not to test so far because I know it’s been far too early but waiting until the end of this week is going to be far trickier 😬

Ahhh so lovely to read nice news about weddings and house moves- I hope everyone is keeping nice and busy for their 2WW!

I am 7DPO and have resisted even buying a pregnancy test- I am very smug about it 😁
(just wait and watch me crumble and pee on allll of the sticks tomorrow haha!)

@AmberM223 I’m hoping to test on 14th or 15th 😄

@MyGardenDaisies well done!🤣 I have a box of cheapies from last cycle and one first response- hidden away so I won’t use it! I’m only 1DPO according to my app so a long wait now!

@MyGardenDaisies we are at the same point in our cycles for defo then!! See how long we last without testing 😂

Morning! 4DPO today and haven’t still even bough any pregnancy tests. Feeling proud haha

I am glad there’s these threads of women in similar situations and feelings, as it’s so overconsuming 🫠

@han311 my cycles were usually around 28 days pre baby. But can vary a little now but usually 28-30 days long. So I don’t have a long luteal phase at all. Even if you just did the sticks for month month so you know. If you are getting ov pain then I guess it’s probably around when you think anyway. Worth a try next month maybe just to check.

Hi I'm 28, DD is 6 years. Conceived after 10 years on the mini pill and 8 months tracking periods and 2 months actively trying.
This time around New partner. I've had baby fever since we got together.
Have issues with my periods. On the copper coil. Short cycles and random bleeding for days in-between periods and lots of cramping and pain and pain during ovulation too. Anxiety over age and starting to loose eggs. Anxiety BF is 32 and worried about his sperms count. Though no actu reason too I'm just a worry wort 🤣
Looking at maybe ttc Xmas or just after. Need to sort coil out first. Bf says he really wants kids now but wants financial situation amd psycho ex to back off first. Appreciated and noted and respected.
Hoping my new job helps him feel ready more 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️
Currently trying to cut down on 🌿 3 months before Xmas for healthy pregnancy.
Getting copper coil taken out at end of the month. Bf seems more happy ro do that and track cycles and maybe without admitting it fully he seems more willing to just see what happens. For the sake of my periods. Had conversation already of we get caught our and both agree Abor... is not an option so I guess we are just going with the flow 🤷🏽‍♀️ without saying it out loud 🤣 I'm definatly more ready than he is 🤣 see what happens 🤞🏼❤️ sorry its long and I'm a waffler 🤣

@HNM I chuckled reading what you wrote about 'the relaxed approach' lasting 5 minutes. That is soooooo me 😂😂 literally haven't thought about anything else, googling constantly lol xx

@LS888 so sorry to hear about your MMC. That must've been so hard, but can totally see how that would make you reevaluate things.. Oh really!! That's interesting..I think I've just always assumed I've been right based on having regular cycles, CM, O pain and general symptoms, it's tended to work in terms of catching/avoiding but maybe I will try OPKs next month then and see! (If this isn't the month of course) How long are your cycles? Xx

I think I'm 12dpo today, did a Sainsbury's test this afternoon which was negative. 😏 No AF yet tho, due Tuesday at my best guess but since I don't know the date of my last one I'm not too sure.

@HNM why is it so difficult to relax 🥲🤣 oh congratulations!! I’ve not had any signs of an impending period at all until the ewcm. I know it’s normal to not ovulate when breastfeeding but I feel like most people have one when they start dropping a few feeds?! Honestly who knows, I feel like I’ll be TTC for a lonnnng time, which I’m sure my partner will be pleased about🤣

@BGxxx We decided to have the 'relaxed' approach which lasted about 5 minutes for me... We are definitely not having enough sex and we actually got married yesterday but my new hubbie fell asleep on the sofa! We DDD today but otherwise the last time was Friday morning (I think, maybe Thursday). I have a feeling I might've ovulated already so the whole thing is stressing me out! I'm currently browsing Amazon for ovulation tests, I initially said I wouldn't use them but I just can't help myself.

We're also trying for our second, baby number one has just turned 13 months, I'm still breastfeeding but do have my period monthly so I'm not sure if it'll affect my fertility.

Hey everyone, well i’m 4DPO now. Really going to try not symptom spot! I’m due on on the 18th but it’s not unusual for me to be 2/3 days late so going to try be absolute best not to test until 20th Oct!! See how i get on haha!

Wishing so much luck to everyone and all the new people on the thread!! Let’s hope for lots and lots of positives this month!!
