I bought clear blue dual ovulation been using a few days been negative up till now I had my 1st flashing smiley face today xx

Hi poppy I have 10 in a pack. I used one today along with an internet cheapie and barely saw a line on that. The cb said negative obviously but I wanted to make sure as ovia seems to think I'm in my fertile window? OVIA tells me that I am on average ovulating around day 25. I've only been trying for three months though so it has been Day 25 for 2 months and day 24 for a month xz

@hopingforabfp Ahhh so tracking wise it's quite accurate! What cycle day are you on now?

@Sazwest Ahhh ace!! Have fun the next couple of days WinkWink .. hope your little girl is ok!

Xxx

Sazwest · 07/05/2017 10:51

@poppylou27 thanks Hun xx

hopingforabfp · 07/05/2017 10:54

Cycle 4 poppy x

LittleManc · 07/05/2017 11:50

Hello @BumbleBee1982 I'm new to MN and TTC as well. First time TTC as of last Thursday. I've been using P.D. app to track my cycles for a while and just started using Ovia as well. They are saying completely different things though. My plan is to just DTD every night now and see how this first month goes. So much conflicting advice it's hard to make sense of it all! X

poppylou27 · 07/05/2017 12:50

@hopingforabfp sorry I meant what day are you on in your cycle ( since start of last period lol) .. I agree @LittleManc it's all very complicated and conflicting! But it sounds like you've got a good plan in place hehee

Xxx

LittleManc · 07/05/2017 13:11

Hello @poppylou27 DH is pretty happy with the plan 😂 I'm top end age wise to be starting to try for the first time I think (36) so can't tell from all the threads on here if I should worry or not. Could happen this month or might still be here in two years!

poppylou27 · 07/05/2017 13:17

@LittleManc I can imagine he is! Haha! I'm not too sure about the age thing, but fingers crossed for you! If it's any help, a woman at my work has just had a baby and she is 41 and it was completely by surprise! So the fact you're younger and doing everything you can to try, to me, gives hope! I know everyone is different but you're doing your upmost so whether it's this month or next year, my fingers are tightly crossed for you! Well, for us all!

Xxx

LittleManc · 07/05/2017 13:29

@poppylou27 hope so :) I would like two though so hoping we still have time. There are twins on both sides of my family so I could end up with two the first time anyway. Although watching my aunt raise cheeky twins has put my off a bit to be honest!

Yes fingers crossed for us all and hopefully we can just all have a relaxed month of DTD and enjoying the journey. I know that's easier said than done though x

DT2016 · 07/05/2017 13:35

LittleManc I conceived DC1 at 35 and was 36 when he was born. Had a very straight forward pregnancy. Best of luck x

poppylou27 · 07/05/2017 13:38

@LittleManc ohhh one thing I do know is they say that the older you are the more chances there are of having twins!! Not like I'd consider 36 old by any means but fertility wise lol!
Haha hopefully we can, it's so hard to relax lol, I do need to chill, I'm not even in my fertile window yet and getting impatient Hmm haha!

weasledee · 07/05/2017 13:52

I got pregnant first month of trying with both of mine (although feel this was really lucky) I was 33 and 36 at the time! On cycle 2 of trying for no. 3 and I'm 40 :) still life left in us all yet! :)

Thisyearistheone2017 · 07/05/2017 14:36

Hi all. Already feeling fed up this month and only 3 dpo! On month four of trying and already preparing myself for disappointment in a couple of weeks. I naively didn't think it would be this emotionally draining! On cycle day 16 now. Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

OP posts:
poppylou27 · 07/05/2017 16:56

Definitely @weasledee fingers crossed for you!

@Thisyearistheone2017 It certainly can be emotionally draining! I know it's easier said than done but think positively! I'm so anxious and haven't even entered my fertility window! You're not alone in how you feel!

Xxx

LittleManc · 07/05/2017 17:04

Thank you @DT2016 that's good to hear. Am nervous but excited and positive too :)

Thisyearistheone2017 · 08/05/2017 14:20

Thanks @poppylou27 - I'm glad there's somewhere like this to chat through the frustrating days with people who understand!! The wait begins ...!

OP posts:
poppylou27 · 08/05/2017 14:28

@Thisyearistheone2017 it really does help to know others are going through it too! Xxx

Thisyearistheone2017 · 12/05/2017 22:33

How's everyone doing? Trying not to symptom spot and definitely don't want to get my hopes up prematurely again this month!

OP posts:
poppylou27 · 13/05/2017 09:42

@Thisyearistheone2017 I'm in my fertile window according to ovia and opks are getting a little darker so it would seems it's the time for us to dtd... going to be a looooong 2ww!
Xxx

DT2016 · 13/05/2017 12:32

I'm 8dpo and whilst I'm desperately trying to symptom spot, if I'm honest, I don't have any symptoms to spot right now. I guess time will tell. Will try and hold out until Weds to test which is when AF should be due as I normally have 12 day LP. Keeping everything crossed.

Sazwest · 13/05/2017 14:30

I have used clear blue dual ovulation this month for the very first time got my solid smiley 🙂. I'm currently in the TWW I'm 2 dpo today. Gonna try my hardest not to symptom spot this month xx

Thisyearistheone2017 · 13/05/2017 19:24

@DT2016 Know that feeling! I'm 9 dpo - had some nausea and neck ache last week which I thought might be something of note ... but now it's passed and I'm back to normal! Must be the first time in my life that I wake up hoping to feel sore or sick!!!

OP posts:
weasledee · 14/05/2017 09:17

So did a frer this morning and it was negative, hoping that I'm not out yet as not sure when I ovulated due to previous months miscarriage....
gonna do a couple of cheapies and then the other frer maybe Tuesday

poppylou27 · 14/05/2017 09:58
