Ovia is a pregnancy obsessed bitch.. It's the app I use but only cos it's got 2 months data in now and it's useful to compare, easy to use etc but I dislike the fact that EVERYTHING in the tww is met with "could be pregnant".

I have post period pmt (i don't think that's a thing, but I've got it!) I'm sooo irritable, not helped by the fact i somehow managed to hit my car on a pillar in a multi story car park yesterday

I literally have no idea what's going on with my body right now. Last night I had definite EWCM so dtd then this morning I woke up with awful stomach cramps and sensitive nipples. So am I ovulating? am I going to see AF? am I pregnant? argh it's driving me mad!

😂😂 Piehunter sorry to laugh but your post cracked me up lol.

I use Ovia... Only got 1 months data though and it actually winds me up filling stuff in, and agree these apps are the things that make us obsessed as we document every detail!

Haha funny you say that, I feel Ovia actually bullied me into doing a pregnancy test! I know exactly what you mean. She's shut up now I'm on CD47 😢 with no signs of anything! I just log that there's still no af and when I've dtd. Maybe just think of what you want to know and keep track of and use the one that does that the best.

Ovia is telling me to test tomorrow, as if I'm going to have a 28 day cycle after cerazette!!!

I could not help myself this morning and did a hpt, and got the faintiest of lines. Trying not to get too excited as one app is saying af was due today another saying it's due Monday and the 3rd saying next Thursday.
Also being feeling like af is coming. So such mixed emotions.

Hehe you might do! I hope you do! I haven't poas for a whole week tomorrow. Totally over it now...ha!

A line is a line BBS... Post us a picture!!

Yes let us see a pic!! My app tells me to test tomorrow.

Will post a pic when I get home to tonight 😊

Af arrived today for me, 3 days early :( only a 25 day cycle first month of the pill. I wonder what next months will be.

Ovia is definitely an overly optimistic, pregnancy obsessed bully then, it's official!

luci I had a 28 day cycle first month off cerazette, so it can happen! 2nd one was 31 days. I only had my last depo injection a year ago too so thought it would be a total nightmare but progesterone only contraception doesn't seem to ALWAYS be horrendous.. I've been on depo/cerazette for 9 years too so wasn't expecting anything like normal cycles for a while.

I hope your boy gives you an answer soon HighHopes!! Fx it's because your pg!

Bbs this is so exciting!!! Post a pic post a pic!! Even a faint line means bfp 😉

Just trying to catch up so havnt read everything yet from last few days!

johno good on you! I got rid of them all (had glow, ff and ovia) as they were causing me more stress than help! Must be tricky for you with your long variable cycles though, maybe pick whichever one you can out the most info in? Has one been more reliable for you at predicting ov signs far?

highhopes have you poas?!

luci you might do! Don't rule it out. My first cycle was 29 days after 12 years of the pill.

bbs congrats?! Looking forward to the pic! AF and pg symptoms are very similar so try to be relaxed!

Line is so faint does not show in the photo.

So just caught up... I so felt like I'd had like a week away from mn and turns out I lasted 3 days haha ah well. Had a nice few days keeping myself busy and not thinking about ttc. Currently dog/house sitting at my mums by myself and enjoyed the time alone dare I say it (poor dp was getting used to the regular dtd 😂) another 2 days away til she's back.

I must admit there seems to have been some confusion a few pages back and I was commended for my crocheting skills but unfortunately there seems to be a mix up and it is seven with the talent! I'd love to take the praise but I have as much creative talant as a rock and am much better suited to spreadsheets and list making and that my friends is why I work in accounts lol.

seven how are you getting on? No signs of anything happening in there yet?!

Oh. bb I was getting excited about a pic! Don't fret lovely pictures can be deceiving.

So I agree with all the comments about the app. Every time I was told off for not dtd I felt like throwing my phone out the window!

Have gotten rid of all the apps and downloaded "clue". Is simple, funny and to the point. That's me done now!

Having the most bizarre AF. Was meant to be on cd3 of AF today but only really spotting. Had backache, bb ache, nausea, dizziness and bloody spots- I normally have really good skin think my body has gone "holy shit we are free of the pill!!!"

Fingers crossed for a normal cycle this time round. bobo when poas? X

I also still use clue johno good choice! I particularly like the pictures for protected and unprotected haha. I have turned off all tracking options except af, cm and dtd! Fx it's lucky for you! Have you given up on temping then? That's the only reason I downloaded the other apps as you can't track that.

Hey moonlight. It's the first time I've downloaded clue. I'm with you- the pic of the man lying down with a tie on to represent protected sex made me lol.

You can add bbt on clue so think I may do that. I'm undecided as I find bbt great for tracking ov but it's like I start the day instantly thinking about ttc. Not to mention trying to be quiet so if my DH is on a day off I don't wake him up!

Not really sure what I'm going to do this cycle if I'm honest X

Hi all, cd27 here and still no ovulation. My ovaries need to man up! Think I've been gearing up to ovulate and then not for the past week and a half as kept getting nearly positive opks, loads of ewcm and ov pains but then back to negative and then getting darker and lighter. Don't know what the hell my body is doing but I am almost certain I haven't ovulated as still getting occasional ov pains and I always get really sore nipples from 2dpo onwards which I've not had. I'm giving up on my ovia app as it's just stressing me out more!

Sorry to hear lots of you are having rubbish cycles! Lots of hugs all round!!

Johno I tested again today with a cheapy and another bfn so no baby this time 😔 Just got to wait and see if af shoes up tomorrow or if she will be delayed due to ov fail!

Bbs we will all be expecting a nice pic in the morning of a darker line 😄😄😄 Put something next to the test to help the camera focus xxx

Haha oooh moonlight I love a good spreadsheet! I missed the crochet confusion!! Nothing happening except stomach and now backache but that's probably nothing to do with my ttc bits! Gonna do a just incase test tomorrow although if it was positive I would be horrified as I've drunk many 🍷this week, making the most of end of the school holiday!

Clue sounds interesting, I may download. Did anyone see corrie last week when Michelle was downloading a "fertility app" and then she was like instantly preggers first cycle at age 40 - as bloody if!!!

*not that there's much point in me downloading an app tho...doesn't tell me anything anyway...Ovia has just had ?? 's for the past 2 weeks!

Clue seems ok so far. To be honest is probably more the fact I'm just using one. Clue is about cycle tracking and including letting you know when the fertile week is rather than shoving ttc down your cervix throat.

Just finished my random 2 day AF. Now to wait and see what this cycle brings.

bb how's it looking this morning. I'm with bobo dying to see a pic. Is that why people normally put their engagement rings, pennies etc next to the Preggo stick to focus the camera?

bobo I had a dream about you- we were at this country hotel and you announced your BFP by running around with your wee stick!

Everything crossed X

Bfn for me this morning... F*ck you Ovia!! 😂

Laying in bed last night had like a burning feeling in my belly, not quite a period pain but felt like someone had lot a fire in there! Only lasted a minute. Headaches and backache have gone now. Just waiting for af to show I guess. I at a wedding tonight so looking fw to a few 🍷

Happy Friday everyone 😊
