And furthermore, I never thought I'd be interested in the cervical mucus of OTHERS!

I've decided my CM is actually that watery and my cervix not actually that high.

I think I am just impatient to ovulate and imagining things. Plus I got a bit excited when my opk was almost positive, but then dried looking far from it.

Ni4444 · 07/01/2016 17:17

Is there anything like that moment of hopefulness/ frustration/ impatience when waiting for Ovia to update its commentary after you've entered a new symptom?!

FXSkip · 07/01/2016 17:23

Thank you Stark and Firstgo - NI444 I know right??? Tell me something new already!!!

FXSkip · 07/01/2016 17:24

It's like 'hey Ovia I drank 9 glasses of water and had some cheese - am I pregnant??'

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/01/2016 17:26

ni do you remember my utter nervous breakdown when I added a symptom in last month and ovia completely changed my fertile week? It was mental carnage! I couldn't work it out! The horror! Grin and then you're like "well, ovia....give me a handy hint!? Tell me I'm looking lovely today!? Congratulate me on having sex?! Anything?" or is that just me

i've not got ovia yet. is it worth it? i'm kind of just tracking opks and CM

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/01/2016 17:33

Ooh first download ovia. It's amazeballs! You can put all your info in and it calculates everything and is really easy to use...and it tells me I'm pretty. Grin

On way home from work will update list later on and also catch up looks like there's a lot of stuff to read!

Loulabelle1990 · 07/01/2016 17:35

Congrats for all the BFP's! It's nice to have some good news.

I am getting really confused now. I stopped cerazette on 6th December so I am now on like CD33 and haven't had any bleed at all so can't track when I am ovulating, but the last couple of days I have had EWCM so not sure if this means I have potentially ovulated? I didn't have anything before this and today there doesn't seem as much! If AF hasn't turned up in a couple of weeks do you think I should do a preg test?

I am trying to be cool about the whole ttc thing but it's totally not working haha!!

Ok feeling a little bit shitty that ovia doesn't tell me I'm pretty. Apparently I'm a top shagger tho! 👍 and not to worry about my farting.

Ni4444 · 07/01/2016 17:43

Stark Skip Im also thinking Ovia has a big role to play in the tww hysteria "ooh you felt something? You might be Pregnant!" "You have Cm? Oh this could be it!!" "ooh it's gonna be time to test soon!!" (even though it tells you not to test until 5 days time! No shit Sherlock! Shut up egging me on!!

LittleBelle90 · 07/01/2016 17:48

Thanks kat im getting lost with everyone too!

AF is due Sunday but I did a one step preg test yesterday morning with fmu and got a bfn. It's been roughly 14 days since I ovulated so thought it would have shown up if I was upduffed. However my boobs this month are so sore, even today at work when I was holding a dog I was in pain because it was pressing on them! But I've had different symptoms every time on the run up to AF.

starky my DH has been researching too about sperm and finding all sorts out, he's worried the problem lies with him which I very much doubt.

Good luck for tomorow choc

firstgo1984 · 07/01/2016 17:51

i think i got ovia once then deleted it!

becciilouisex · 07/01/2016 17:54

I've just started using Ovia and I love it! But it's yet to tell me I'm pretty, does congratulate me on shagging though hahahan & congrats on your BFP!!! x

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/01/2016 17:55

I'm still defying ovia and everyone here and not testing, it's been telling me to for over a week! But Im going off two different possible ovulation timetables and I entered the first lh surge as an ovulate so I knew where I was up to. 2nd possible ovulation and I'm only 9 dpo, just thankful af is due next week so the wait is nearly over!

But I completely agree, it encourages the hysteria! "You reported feeling weepy and impatient, it could be a baby!" No shit ovia, it could also be my uterus preparing for a clear out!

LittleBelle90 I've been exactly like that! Since I've started TTC, every month I think there's a change I've conceived because I have symptoms that I don't usually get in the run up to or during my period and every month they're different! Really odd and confusing!

Co5mo · 07/01/2016 18:10

Newbie here wishing Ovia would tell me I'm pretty. Instead it tells me I might be pregnant on the day AF arrives. Ok I might have been over symptom spotting and feeding it fibs but I've still not forgiven it.

My stats: ttc#1, cycle 2, cd 1, etd 6th feb.

loula you can be super fertile in the first two weeks after coming off the pill so if you have been dtd you could just be...I'd be poas just in case.

LittleBelle90 · 07/01/2016 18:20

Isn't it confusing becci you get your hopes but then bam the witch comes for a visit!

Loulabelle1990 · 07/01/2016 18:30

Thanks for your advice. I know I am not pregnant as I done a test New Year's Eve and it was negative. Only thing to do is wait I guess!!!

becciilouisex · 07/01/2016 18:31

Tell me about it! People say you're mad for noticing every little symptom but when you notice something you know is unusual for you, you can't help but get your hopes up! We all hope for that BFP but I've seen a negative result so often I can't imagine finally seeing that BFP!

Evergreen15 · 07/01/2016 18:31

Kat I am still on this bus Smile
AF due on the 10th according to Kindara and the 8th according to Ovia. I can feel it coming Sad
Of course I tested and of course there was no line there...
But there is hope! Grin
Someone read a poem at work about a pregnant lady and I was in tears, I pinched my friend next to me so hard she was tearful too, so nobody would suspect or read my mind GrinThey already ask why I keep refusing coffees.
That is what friends are for.

starky thanks for the advice re opk & cm. Still confused today - opk negative but I'm sure I'm getting ewcm now (on tissue when wipe - tmi!) so would have thought ovulation is very soon.

BBT still low - it actually dipped this morning, does anyone else get a big temp drop just before ovulation?
