THE DINO CLUB #1

Morning everyone! I've another faint line today, can see it without squinting in real life but not sure if the camera is picking it up. This was within 5 mins. I'll do a digital tomorrow or later if I can't wait!!

@Lila34830 my husband didn’t even have the energy for it and that’s saying something 😂

I definitely don’t think we’ll be attempting SMEP again, by the time my peak came I think the good ‘supply’ was depleted.
I will stick with just DTD when the static smiley arrives and the two days after from now on! Assuming I ovulated on Friday, I’m now 2DPO…let’s see!

Ohhhh sorry 😂 my mistake!! Most likely it will be yes, it’s normally a couple of days after your static smiley! 😊

2/3 DPO for me today, finally in the TWW!! Got a blood test tomorrow to look at progesterone levels to see if it indicates whether I’ve ovulated, if the results are clear I’ll book another scan. But my GP did reassure me the other day and say I most likely do ovulate with regular cycles and it could just be a one off if I don’t this month which sometimes happens 🥰

Hi ladybugs. Checking in because I have cracked the code to enthused DTD! Go away for a few nights 😂

I am on CD13 and I have quite pronounced cramps. We have DTD every day from Tuesday. Did this morning, will do again tonight and tomorrow too.

Last month I got static smiley on CD14. I haven’t tested this month (pee sticks not on the romantic agenda!) but pretty sure I do early. I had my blood test on day 22 last month to test ovulation and that was alright I think - see below.

so that will be 6 times this week. If this doesn’t catch then we give up 😂😂😂

i called the drs for my blood test results on Wednesday. Classic receptionist. “They’re normal” she said….tumbleweed. Glad she spent 7 years at med school and is a trained gynaecologist 🙄

think we are close to being cycle twins this month @Clara202 ✨✨✨

So I played around with filters and there was definitely something there. Took the photo 15 mins after testing. But very faint so I suppose it could be just an evap line or something. And very early so don't want to get excited in case it fades!
Why do we torture ourselves by early testing 🙈

@ThisOchreTiger I can see it!

@KT199 i think I phrased it wrong, I meant is it likely that the window is officially closed and can I please stop DTD now or is there a benefit to doing it again today 😅

I know it's probably a bit early too, AF due Wednesday. I'll wait and maybe get a clearblue extra early to test again!

Hey! I can’t see anything, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing there! Typically early on it can be hard to get a photo of it! If you test in a day or two with FMU you will be more likely to get a better idea 😊

Hey @Clara202, the clear blue can’t determine whether you’ve ovulated. By using a different/new stick you will always get a O on the first result as it takes that as a baseline to then look for an oestrogen rise in the coming days. But, it does suggest your LH peak has ended as you could get a solid smiley straight away if that was high.

Hello again everyone! I've been trying not to think about the wait but couldn't help doing a test today. I'm 9DPO so still early. Am I going crazy or is there a vvvfl? Been staring at it and fluctuating between thinking it's definitely negative and there's definitely something there. Feel like I'm losing my mind!!!

Thursday Static Smiley on CB Digital
Friday Two dark lines on a cheapie & cramps
Today Empty circle on a different CB Digital stick

Would I take that to mean that I ovulated on Friday(yesterday?)

Hi all! Hope you're all doing well.
I think I have ovulated.. I had a peak OPK of 0.74 on Wednesday evening (is that high enough) and my bbt has started to rise a bit. Does this look right ? Any tips for making the TWW manageable haha should I be doing anything special to aid implantation ?

I’ve got my blood results back (awaiting some final ones) and I have low iron, folate and vitamin d so far. The low folate may be the answer to my chemical pregnancies. Still waiting for the results of the anti phospholipid which can be a cause of CP too. Who knows at this stage 🤣

Quite intense ovulation cramps today. I wouldn’t say painful but they’re definitely more noticeable than the other two months. We’ll DTD tonight and I think that might be it for us. I don’t think we have it in us to go again tomorrow! We did Sunday Monday Wednesday Thursday and tonight. Static smiley yesterday, cramps today.

@Lila34830 and after my CP last month I ovulated CD 15-16 I think it was so expect the same again due to this CP! Xx

@Lila34830 I feel your pain. I’m CD 12 and usually peak CD 13. I don’t see it happening though for another few days at least though! I hate it way more than the TWW 🤣 trying to catch peak on sticks then to time it correctly, it’s such a faff!!! Xxx

Think ill be in the two week wait from tomorrow, waiting to see if my temps rise!

@Lila34830 I feel your frustration this month, I’m CD18 today! I think today could be ovulation day, or it may have been last night as my temp has rose a lot this morning!

Yeah that makes sense! Such a long wait to get to when ovulation should happen!

Dont know if there is any plus side to the longer cycle, but as an over thinker on a shorter cycle (25/26 days) I always worry that I’m getting rid of eggs at a time quicker pace because of my short cycle and what if I run out (I know, I’m crazy) haha. So hopefully that gave you a smile and a very small silver lining 😂
