Not a lot really. 7th day of flashing smileys today which seems faintly ridiculous. I am at a loss at to why I started testing so early if apps say likely ov Saturday, but I was following CB instructions. DP home a day early this week so hopefully we will have plenty of time to get on and dtd. Assuming of course I am ovulating this month, as last month was so odd.

Ha. No crazy symptom spotting then EMHW?

Cherylttcagain · 29/06/2017 15:22

I'm a bit behind you, according to my app only just getting to my fertile window, so just lots of dtd for me this weekend hopefully!

Limp, hopefully you'll get that static smiley this weekend :)

EMHW123 · 29/06/2017 15:39

Fingers crossed you'll get it soon limp i think it's common to have more than 4 days of flashing, more than 10 is unusual 😊

Cheryl drop those knickers! 😂💃

No crazy symptoms but I'm absolutely knackered today just had to have a nap for 30mins! That's quite unusual I suppose, occasional twinges but that's defo more normal. I'm just hoping I don't spot for a week before Aunt Flo this month otherwise I may take a trip back to Gp 😑

Cherylttcagain · 29/06/2017 17:33

Yes emhw! my hubby is going to either love it or be worn out haha!

Emhw, I'm rooting for you! How long are your cycles normally?

EMHW123 · 29/06/2017 18:08

Woop woop Cheryl!

Cycles normally between 27-32 days.... last month was a disaster so even if Aunt Flo comes this month I just hope it's a normal period without all the drama of last month!

LinzLinz · 29/06/2017 19:58

Hi everyone sorry not been around the last few days! I went away with the OH and he proposed yay!! 💍🥂

McTufty · 29/06/2017 20:20

linzlinz wooo! Congratulations!! Are you going to keep TTC or wait till after wedding?

I'm crazy busy with work, I'm cd7 and nothing new to report! Good luck to all those shagging Wink

EMHW123 · 29/06/2017 20:28

Yay@LinzLinz fab news!!!

How you doing mctufty?

McTufty · 29/06/2017 21:41

emhw I'm ok! Not too stressed about TTC at the moment because got a relentless couple of weeks at work, and also because only cd7.

I think once I get to next week ill stress more if I don't O, and then once I do I'll stress about a 4 day luteal phase again! But for now, , all good.

Got everything crossed for you this month!

Cherylttcagain · 29/06/2017 21:49

Woohoo congratulations Linz!!!! That's fantastic news!

LimpLettice · 29/06/2017 22:21

Aw Linz lovely news, congratulations!

LimpLettice · 30/06/2017 10:50

Solid smiley at last! :)

Bit relieved as I only had a ten pack and today is day 9, but the first one didnt work today so I thought it might have gone pear. I work! And it looks like my cycle is still what it was pre DD. Yay.

Cherylttcagain · 30/06/2017 13:58

Yey!! That's fantastic news too! Lots of dtd for you now! :)

Anyone using the app Ovia to track all their ttc stats?

LimpLettice · 30/06/2017 14:29

Yes indeed :) DP will be pleased ha.

I am using Flo, as well as still inputting data to Period Tracker as I used it years ago. Funnily enough the data produces slightly different results, I think Flo is more accurate. Might look at Ovia. Just for fun. Coz I need more time to stress about it all, obviously :)

EMHW123 · 30/06/2017 15:36

@LimpLettice yay! Get on it girl!

@Cherylttcagain I use Ovia! I like it ☺️

Great attitude @McTufty I'm starting to obsess again 😆 got lots on this weekend to distract me so hopefully I can at least get to Tuesday without Poas!!! Although I do have 5 frers and 5 cb 😳😬😬 in the cupboard!! 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Cherylttcagain · 30/06/2017 15:57

Oh emhw, it's so hard not to though! I started using Glow but Ovia is brill, I love the daily emails!
You have great will power to ignore those tests in your cupboard! I'm not going to buy any until I've missed AF (if it happens) otherwise I'd be using them from 8dpo!!

Did any of you who think you've ovulated already this cycle experience ewcm? I always seem to have watery or sticky and literally for 1 day and I only notice it once do I have ewcm. I guess we can ovulate with watery clear cm too?

EMHW123 · 30/06/2017 16:29

Cheryl I get it for a few days before I ovulate. I used preseed this month too!

You can defo still ovulate without. Are you using ovulation tests? Bbt?

KubaLeebre · 30/06/2017 18:26

Utah, another super-hard week. Does anyone else have a stressful job??

OP posts:
McTufty · 30/06/2017 22:26

kuba yes!!! I'm in law. Had a terrible week this week and a terrible three weeks ahead - but at least it keeps my mind off TTC!

LimpLettice · 30/06/2017 23:15

Cheryl I have stringy snotty CM a few days before then watery the day before and at ov. Yuk but very clear.

kuba yes me too. Not law or anything but high management, some tough times with staff and a lot of strict deadlines at the mo. It really doesn't help with the whole ttc stress thing. DP does a high paid but geeky job and finds it much easier to switch off. I'm a bit jealous.

KubaLeebre · 01/07/2017 09:50

It's been a crap week for me. OH has gone off to France with his hobby this weekend and won't be contactable til Monday. I am being unreasonably resentful and grumpy about it! I'm probably jealous...which I hate.

Just me and DD this weekend, so need to have fun with her and keep busy. He's with his two DD's from previous rel, and I know he'll be having a good time.

Keep me company, ladies!

Cherylttcagain · 01/07/2017 10:46

Thanks Limp, I'll keep checking mine. I must say I don't remember seeing anything like the egg white mucus when getting pregnant with my 2, I think I'll just try not worry about it!

My hubby is on call Kuba so we're not up to much this weekend, I'll be around :)

EMHW123 · 01/07/2017 10:47

@KubaLeebre we are all here!! That's a really difficult one though pet, completely understand your feelings. Some lovely things with your dd is just the ticket! 😘

Cherylttcagain · 01/07/2017 11:35

omg I whine about cm and guess what I've just found.... ewcm... yippee!

LimpLettice · 01/07/2017 16:03

Love that I'm thinking yay about someone else's cm, but yay, Cheryl!

DD is with EX this weekend which is useful on ov weekend ha. Cooking DP a huge roast to keep his strength up for the rest of the weekend 😁. He's working and I'm trying not to distract him too much this afternoon to keep him sweet for later. Poor fella.
