limp good to hear from you. You sound like you're being reallly brave, what a horrible situation. Enjoy the rest of the week as best you can and come back and join us when you feel up to it Flowers

missyem only way to tell for sure is to temp but this is not always fun as I am finding out! However Fertility Friend based on my temps said I O'd Saturday, and I had my first positive OPK Thursday.

Do you check your CM too? Advice is that last day you have EWCM is peak fertility I think.

On that note, given my fertility friend update, this means I am now a whole 5dpo! So that's two days longer luteal phase than last month Smile

Cherylttcagain · 20/07/2017 07:43

If you are temping along side opks that helps pin point ovulation. But no, unfortunately not.

For me I had a positive opk then for 2 days had ewcm then the next day my nipples were sore for a few days. I always seem to get sore nipples straight after ovulation so thats my thing to look out for. Good luck.

Cherylttcagain · 20/07/2017 07:45

Woohoo 5dpo!! Thats awesome, I hope it keeps going this time :D

Cherylttcagain · 20/07/2017 15:54

I don't think that's faint at all Cheryl. That is a fat BFP, congratulations to you. So glad for you.

McTufty · 20/07/2017 17:41

I can totally see it!!! Congratulations!!!

LinzLinz · 20/07/2017 18:09

I can see it too!

Cherylttcagain · 20/07/2017 18:31

Thanks :D I have 2 more tests so will use them over the next few days. AF is due on sunday.

Showed hubby and he's saying he won't believe it til the line is as pink as thr control lol.

McTufty · 20/07/2017 21:09

A line is a line Cheryl Grin

Cherylttcagain · 20/07/2017 21:46

Yeah I tried telling him that haha! He's slightly pessimistic with things we are hoping for. I suppose he'd rather not be disappointed.

McTufty · 21/07/2017 07:46

I think I'd be the same to be joe st Cheryl! Roll on Sunday, I'm sure it will all be fine!

6dpo and still no AF, though bloated and crampy so bit nervous. Temperature dropped today so either that means AF is here or it's just a normal mid luteal phase dip which can happen apparently. Either way doubling my phase in one cycle is a good sign I suppose!

Funny how I'm not even thinking of being pregnant just of having a normal length luteal phase!!

McTufty · 21/07/2017 08:01

*honest not joe st!

MissyEm · 21/07/2017 18:11

Well the clear blue opk strips have gone away for another window. Let's see what happens in the next 2 weeks!

Cherylttcagain · 21/07/2017 18:56

Its great not to be thinking about it mctufty, and you never know this could be the cycle.

Good luck missyem, at least you know you managed to dtd at the right time :)

MissyEm · 21/07/2017 19:27

@Mctufty, how long is your phase usually?

Thanks for the luck @cherylttcagain, good luck to you too with the pink line getting ever stronger!!

McTufty · 22/07/2017 06:40

missyem I don't know - it's only my sencond cycle off the pill but last month was 3 days!!! Best of luck to you for this cycle, when will you test?

cheryl are you testing today or waiting til tomorrow? I have everything crossed for you Smile

Cherylttcagain · 22/07/2017 06:54

I've taken 3 tests (2 pink, one clearblue) and all positive. Hubby now believes we are pregnant!!! I'm hoping it sticks around for the duration.

Mctufty mine changed from month to month so it can change as your body adjusts it's hormones. It's early days. Are you taking vitamin C?

I most likely only OV'd Thurs night ish so have a way to go yet. I think this was my first settled month after the pill which I stopped on April 29th. Testing Aug 1st. We are going to France for the weekend champagne tasting on the 4th so it could change that weekend!

Cherylttcagain that's great news! A weekend to feel good and celebrate together! Grin

Everything crossed!! Although will be shame not to be able to champagne taste. Hmm

LinzLinz · 22/07/2017 09:11

Congratulations @Cherylttcagain ! Amazing ❤

McTufty · 22/07/2017 10:50

Oh yay Cheryl!!!!! 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾 So exciting! How are you celebrating?

missyem yes I've been having one of those fizzy tablets per day, plus vitamin b6 and magnesium oil! But whether thats helping or my body would have regulated I don't know, but I'm now 7dpo and 9 days post positive OPK so this month is much better! Best of luck for you, hopefully it will be your month, if not then you can hit the champagne hard!

McTufty · 22/07/2017 11:50

Oh just found some blood Sad Only a tiny touch. I had 10 days as my target and I've only made 7, assuming this is AF. Here's hoping for another extension next month.

McTufty · 22/07/2017 15:19

TheImprobableGirl · 22/07/2017 16:20

Sorry to hear mctufty hopefully next month will be lucky. I've been lurking but Wondering if you guys know anything about the clearblue advanced digital OPK's?
I'm super confused because I started on what I thought should have been cd7, had 7 empty circles until cd15 where I had a flashing smiley face. Same for the next 2 days so I Bought another pack to use with the original holder. I am now most of the way through the next pack of 10 (have 3 left) so I'd say this is cd24 (of what I thought was a normalish 30-34 day cycle) and I'm still getting flashing faces every day!! Have I missed the static face in some way, or am I just not ovulating? What is the reason for these excessive :):):):):)
