I’m pleasantly surprised with my first month trying opks again ! I think today is the day of my peak ladies ! 1.74 ratio CD15 so if this is my peak I’ll be ovulating ever so slightly earlier then usual ! It’s usually CD 18-20. What do you ladies think ? Peak time ?

Hiya Ladies,

I hope you’re well and excited for Christmas.

I’ve been taking a mumsnet and forum break, you know what it’s like sometimes. I’m going to continue on the break as it’s really giving me some much needed head space. I’m not sure when I’ll be back properly.

I just wanted to quickly let you know.

@Biscuitbaby2218 wow that’s a fantastic peak. Hope you’re okay and everything crossed we all get a lovely surprise this December.

ciao ciao xx

Heya ladies,

Hows your week going?

Im having a strange one - my opk readings are low, I haven’t had a peak yet, whereas last month I had a peak by CD14. I have a 28-30 day cycle. I know ovulation can move about.

This is my second month doing OPK so I don’t really have any other data to compare against. I’m on CD15 now and nowhere near a peak.

Anyone have any thoughts/advice?

It is only my second month but the first month, I think I started too late, I didn't see a peak.

This month, I it came so suddenly. I was pretty low every day (around 0.15/0.19 for those who use prenom), one morning, I got a hit of a darked line (barely) and around 0.40. In the evening, I had a peak.

It can come suddenly

Allmywishcometrue · 27/11/2025 18:50

I am on day 2 of my 2WW. I was fully plannjng not to obsess and not try to symptom spot and I did well for a whole 18 hours nore or less 😁.

I feel so weird though, neither stressed nor hopeful, almost removed from it. I can't imagine that I might have a positive and my life would change or a negative and I might be disappointed. Anyone was the same? It's my first cycle trying.

Hey @Chikas I'm cd 11 today, opks are low which is to be expected !

have you had your peak since you posted last ?

you may just be having late ovulation this cycle I suppose !

hope you’re okay !

Hi hun,

Hopefully you see your peak soon - holding pee is a faff lol

I on the other hand have not seen my peak, I think I missed it as I’m now CD17 on one app and 4DPO on another. So who knows.

Just trying to baby dance at least until Sunday, then it’s in Gods hands 😊.

Oooo @Chikas you’re in the exciting part of waiting for that egg 🎉

yes I did a test just to triple check and definitely not pregnant just a light cycle I suppose! I’m CD 5 today so in that nice area of no symptoms spotting, no testing, no stress 😂

Hehehehe the exciting part indeed!!! 😛 Fingers crossed I catch the nifty bugger.

CD5! You’re living the dream! Enjoy it, it’s been a hectic last couple weeks x

Hiya girls,

Im CD10 now, have entered the fertile zone. We are not killing ourselves like we did last month by DTD early on. Think we will focus on 3 days; day before peak, peak and ovulation (if we have energy, we will go for one more on post ovulation BUT that’s it). In the mean time I’m LH testing and it’s creeping up slowly.

@Biscuitbaby2218 hiya - that’s weird. Did you do a test just incase anyway?

@Orangeroses243 @Biscuitbaby2218 our bodies are so annoying, honestly or is it we are paying too much attention to them so we are noticing things we never would usually? Just keep testing and keep positive because it’s a bit of a minefield it seems.

The uncertainties is what can drive you up the wall, I totally get it x

Orangeroses243 · 20/11/2025 08:42

Happy new cycle @Chikaswishing you all the luck!
Are you trying anything different this cycle?

As for me I still have had no AF 😅 tested two days ago negative.. cycle awol so still in the "who knows what's going on" mindset. I am just carrying on and testing every two weeks. I think id rather know i am not and have a period so I know where I am! X

Biscuitbaby2218 · 20/11/2025 06:38

@LifeByTheSea123 i see a faint line ! So I wouldn’t rule yourself out ! Fingers crossed for you lovely ☺️

Biscuitbaby2218 · 20/11/2025 06:36

Hey @Chikas ! AF did come but she left pretty much as soon as she came !! Started on the 17th and ended on the evening of the 19th ! It was also a very extremely light flow.

very confusing but according to my research about it it reflects a cycle where ovulation failed hence no womb lining thickening, hence extremely light and short AF. Very unusual even for me 🫣

so today is CD 4 and I’m ready to start tracking again and hoping I ovulate this month ! I’m going to try LH strips again starting on cd 10-12 and see how I get on with them this cycle.

hope you’re okay and wishing you luck for this cycle !! ☺️

LifeByTheSea123 · 19/11/2025 18:59

Hi @Chikas - thank you ☺️. The other few I have taken over the last few days have been stark white 😂. So we will see how tomorrow goes xx

Chikas · 19/11/2025 15:55

LifeByTheSea123 · 19/11/2025 14:51

Hi ladies, hope you don’t mind if I jump on. I’m on CD27 with my period due tomorrow. Also either 10 or 11 DPO according to my natural cycles app. My temperature dropped to the baseline yesterday but went up again today and I’ve taken a test and I’m pretty sure it’s negative but there is possibly the very faintest line? Might be wishful thinking. Hard work all of this isn’t it 😥

Hi @LifeByTheSea123 Dont rule it out - I definitely see a line. Tentative congratulations-do let us know how you get on x

Hiya @Biscuitbaby2218 hope you’re good?! Did AF show up for you?

Im on CD9 now, started ovulation testing yesterday.

Hows your week been?

OP posts:
Biscuitbaby2218 · 17/11/2025 15:51

Hey @Chikas ! Happy new cycle ! I’ve literally just started bleeding the tiniest bit 😅 I’ll see if it gets heavier tonight or not, if it does it’s definitely AF a few days late !

if it is AF I’ll be starting the countdown again along with you ! (At least I’ll have I’m a celeb to keep me occupied during the countdown to fertile window )

hope you're doing well lovely ☺️

Chikas · 17/11/2025 14:56

Hiya Ladies,

Happy new week and happy new cycle (well me anyway).

Im on CD7 today, so will start ovulation testing and the BDing that comes with it 😬

What are your strategies this cycle ladies? Is anyone doing anything differently?

I hope you’re all well x

Orangeroses243 · 15/11/2025 08:04

@Biscuitbaby2218 wow 216!! Ournbodies are all so different and amazing! How frustrating at the same time too! Sounds like you know your body well!! As you said your son was conceived this way so the time will.come, its just when isn't it.
Your explanation was so clear, I dont have pcos however due to the symptoms i am having i just wondering if my body is doing something similar and trying to pop ans egg out and just failing due to hormone regulation from pop. - by the sounds of it i am certainly not as clued up as yourself.

@Chikas exactly nothing we can do but wait for our time ✨️💖 absolutely just going to keep dtd and see what happens and wait it out. I did loads of tests like a week ago and all negative decided I am not buying anymore 🙃 I have one digital in the cupboard I am saving. Maybe in a weeks time il order aome amazon ones? I ive heard alot of people saying they were a good price for a multipack....save me some £.
So yeah will test in a couple weeks if no Af. And just keep testing every two weeks
..
Nothing else I can really do as you said is there.

Biscuitbaby2218 · 14/11/2025 23:17

@Chikas yes still going to continue ttc ! Conceived my son on a long cycle so it’s still possible ☺️

not heard of myova!! I’ll look into it for sure ! Thank you

Chikas · 14/11/2025 22:50

Biscuitbaby2218 · 14/11/2025 17:17

@Chikas i take metformin and inositol ☺️

@Orangeroses243 yess i was diagnosed with pcos at 16 ! My longest ever cycle was 216 days !!! I have learnt a lot since then and have managed to get my cycles to roughly 32 days give or take a few days but every now and then I do still unfortunately have a cycle that is 40- 80 days long roughly. Basically my body will attempt to ovulate I will get an LH spike and all the ovulation signs but fail to actually release an egg and my body will keep attempting ovulation until an egg is finally released then I will get af if conception didn’t happen of course, hence the obscenely long cycle every now and then.

hiya 🙃

Ive heard good things about myova care? Ladies who have PCOS have had really good experiences. Have you heard of it?

@Chikas sorry to hear AF arrived, on to t anew month, will you continue for next month?
@Biscuitbaby2218 same to you! Interesting to hear about more than 1 batch of ewcm I have been experiencing alot of this at the moment, I can't continously be ovulating?
You mentioned pcos and thinking its this flaring up? - assuming this has happened before?
Hope your ok and on to next month ❤️

@HallidayJones6779 congratulations in order let us know how you get on!

@thismonthsfad not out until AF shows keep positive!

As for me no sign of AF its been 5 weeks but post mini pill so who knows.. lots of ewcm so just all.confused.

Heya hun,

sorry to hear about the inconsistency you’re experiencing. Are you continuing to ttc anyway just in case?

Yes, we will continue trying next cycle 😊 what can we do? Just have to press on 😬
