THE DINO CLUB #1

Got my peak tonight!

@Toppstileslover we DTD every 2nd day on the week leading up, to allow for..regen 😅and then the day of peak, we don't do it afterwards, maybe we should.. 🤔

@Parks17 There is definitely a line there! 🤞🤞 for darker tomorrow!

I couldn't help myself...
gone back to check the clear blue and can't see the line as much (about half an hour later, the pic taken 3 mins after)
and the cheapie was taken at the same time as the clear blue.
got a clear blue to take in the morning with FMU.

Too scared to feel anything right now but hoping hoping hoping this is gonna be my BFP????????

omg! This is exciting! Tell us first thing! I definitely see a line 🦕🦕🦕

serious q ladies when are you DTD? And how often?

I am on CD8, think I will ovulate around CD17 (last month was the first time I got the static smiley). Though I’ve just checked and last month it was CD14!

so I need to order my preseed and get going this week don’t I? We are away for 2 nights for my bday so at least that’s a bit more romantic (and I’ll actually want to DTD!).

do you girls usually go for every other day for the week before? Maybe I’ll start tomorrow. CD14 would be on Sunday, we’ll be at my Mum’s (omg the shame). I think I ovulate earlier than flo says I do

I will do! Been to the shop and picked up some Tesco own brand tests and some clear blue early tests

.....now to try to stop myself obsessing all night!!

Omg I'm shaking so much

Girls, help please!
does anyone else see a shadow?
My partner said 'kind of' and I'm 9DPO (I think!!!) I haven't been properly tracking this month due to being so busy but my apps say 9DPO.
this wasn't FMU, just taken it now.
heading to the shops so gonna pick up some stick tests but do I have line eyes??????

please ignore the hair all over the pic I have a dog and I dropped it on the floor lmao

I'm currently still looking for my peak even tho ovu was predicted for the 14th-17th 😅 I'm definitely having a surge but it's still at .76 and last month my peak was 0.84 but I find it's always strongest around 5pm ish so I'm going to do one more test tonight after work and hopefully it'll be my peak and I assume I'll be ovulating overnight and into tomorrow as I'm also experiencing some CM 🤞

I had completely ruled myself out this cycle as I thought I missed my peak around CD14, it just shows you how misinformed all of these apps etc can be 😳

Thanks lovely!! As this is the first time I’ve tracked I’m still not sure how high my peak will be or when it will happen but hoping to catch it today or tomorrow xx

@NoisyBee I tend to go to the gym at before work so I don’t do my first wee of the day but I’ve only had a bit of water and been up about 2 hours. I think as long as it’s around the same each time it should help track as you know roughly what your ‘normal’ is?

im still learning as I go to be honest but I’ll put a screen grab of my tests up so you can see the diff in the days/times etc. it’s still showing low for me but expecting a peak sometime soon.

Just saw this, baby dust and the luck to everyone starting a new cycle ✨ 🦕

@HE93C you're not alone! My partner has finally started to take notice and has actually made some life changes now. But before we were always bickering about healthy habits including drinking!

I have to admit I think there's so much pressure on us ladies, we're the ones that know when we're ovulating, we're so hyper aware of symptoms and our bodies are ultimately going to grow the mini dinos. I honestly think it's quite hard for them to understand the pressure 😅

I'm on day 4 of period, and onto cycle 10 for me (I think) I try not to count the cycles where I know we definitely missed ovulation. I'm starting to think about doctors appointments in the new year for further investigations to see if anything's up. I had my bloods and everything was ok xx

What time if day do you take the LH tests ? I read somewhere that I shouldn't be doing it first morning.. so I try not to but would make things a lot easier if I did so just wondering what everyone else does ??

Oh good. Glad it’s not just me!!

Hopefully it doesn’t have too much impact but we shall see!

I got a test of 0.51 yesterday morning, 0.34 last night and 0.79 this morning, so my LH is deffo rising, base is always between 0.5-0.2 for me I think! I’m hoping that means I’m ovulating today or tomorrow.

Same! I’m normally not bothered what he gets up to but now everything we do I’m paranoid 😂😂 fingers crossed we all get positives soon and don’t have to think about all this for a while.

Oh yes! Same words! Don’t worry! I live / work in London as does my husband and he is a professional lunchalot. We never argue (don’t usually care, I’m happy at home with our dogs!) but I’m convinced he’s drowning sperm so I get right in his grill about it 😂😂😂 he says the same (but he’s not 37 on Tuesday at advanced maternal age!)

Unless they’re an alcoholic I understand it doesn’t have much impact. l will be very glad when I have my required offspring and I can personally go back to never thinking about these things I feel like such a boring nag 😀

just realised I’m going to be away with work for 2 nights ovulation prediction days / week 🫠😫 will have to DTD beforehand. Gah! This waiting is insane.

Aww congratulations!!!

@Lila34830 thanks girls! DTD today and will test again in a bit and DTD tomorrow too.
ive had a bit of a tiff with hubby for going out drinking loads while it’s ovulation weekend (he had had the night out planned for ages) but I know it can affect things and after the MC before I’m trying to be super careful.

his argument is that we can’t just put life on hold and not enjoy ourselves cos it could take ages. Anyone else had this with their SO? How did you go about it? We can’t agree at all cos I’ve completely quit drinking and said this is my priority but he says it’s putting too much pressure on it and it will happen when it happens. Annoying but I do get his side too.
