Anyone in Fertile Week?

[Merrz]

I'm on CD 8 and just about to start the joys of fw and OPKS again for cycle 6 of ttc #1
Anyone else approaching/in fw and got any new tips/ideas you're trying this cycle? Or anything you did different which resulted in BFP? How often if everyone dtd?

Just had a quick Google and it does work for a lot of people!
I'm popping upto Tesco tomorrow anyway and it's only £4! Win win situation

Just had a faint opk

Yesterday was bfn

So I think the surge is building up slowly

Been having a bit of mucus too so will drink lots and lots to try and create more naturally

That’s interesting re the cough medicine. I actually have a cough at the moment so might go and get some as I am having positive opks but not really much ewcm.

Weirdly I’ve had another definite positive on a cheapy opk (one yesterday and one today) but just a circle on a clear blue dual hormone thingy this morning. Anyone else ever had that?

Hi ladies hope I can join?
I'm on cd19 and don't use opks anymore.
So between cd14 - cd16 I've had cramps and ewcm with a bit of blood in it.. gone to the loo, got the same.. I swear the female body is an absolute mystery!!

Hella it's on my shopping list!

I'm really looking forward to trying it
Not been getting a lot of mucus (Well didmt get a lot last month)

Pocket I have absolutely no idea what's going on most of the time and sounds the same for you!

Hey ladies mind if I join??

Im currently on CD10 of what seems to be a 25-26 day cycle after getting implant out in July. OPKS are getting darker but not positive yet. It's the first month I have been getting proper signs of ovulation (or at least that I've noticed!). Will be temping next month if no luck.

Does this drive anyone else a bit crazy??

Yeah I'm trying not to 2nd guess everything but we all know how it is. 1 year of trying this month..
Can't wait to see how everyone gets on this month xx

I'm excited to hear how everyone gets on with the cough mixture!
Really hope we get a lot of bfps on here, will be so nice just before xmas.
Pocketfullofsunshine are you going to see the doctor now? I just know i'm going to get to the year mark and wonder how soon after you get help

I'm due to ovulate in 3 days. We DTD yesterday am and I have EWCM today. I've just done an opk which was negative so I'll test again tomorrow.

I came off my mini pill middle/end of Nov so I believe this will be our first cycle.
Baby dust to everyone xx

I'm already under the gynacologist for tests and stuff - they can't find a reason why it's not happening

I think the days are twice as long as they used to be! I can't believe how hard just waiting is! It's also so hard not to symptom spot. Hope everyone is doing good!

4dpo, Just went to the toilet and lots of dried EWCM, sorry tmi, can’t remember if it was already there or if it happened this morning and I haven’t noticed till now. Been doing lots of housework so being active.

A midwife gave me the mucus cough medicine tip. I took the max recommended dose and my cm went really thin and slippery.. and boom! Sitting here now a big fat ball in 3rd trimester.

I'll defo be on the Benelyn for future TTC.

Good luck everyone.

MsP0b I am intrigued by the cough medicine tip! How often and what time of the month did you take it? Once a day over ovulation? or a few days before?

Sparks a few days before as far as am o aware

Ahh thank you for the tip

I sneaked upto my parents house to have some today lol forgot it on my list so will prob have to pop out again tomorrow!

Same amount of the Guaifenesin in each dose and this is cheaper
Will this do the trick

Ooh, is it Guaifenesin thats responsible then?

HellaBella0 just noticed your post from yesterday, I'm giving up on my clearblue monitor. I don't think it is reliable. How long have you been using it?

According to the smep you can take any cough medicine for decongrestion I'm on day nurse and the covonia this month I'm determined. I also have a cold so not a total but job!

@Merrz this is the second month. Last month it seemed to be fine, 3 days of flashing and then a solid face (and coincided with the Internet cheapies). Is yours doing something similar? Spoke to one of my friends today who is 20 weeks pregnant and she said she never got on with them and never got a solid smiley but she clearly was ovulating!

Hi all! Just entered fw today according to my app but still waiting for clearblue to go smiley! Thanks for the cough medicine tip - will pick some of that up! Trying out SMEP plan this month... but do you keep dtd after ovulation? I read elsewhere that orgasms after ov can ruin implantation - thoughts?

Hella I'm on 7th cycle using it, seemed to work fine 1st couple of cycles but last 3 hasn't picked up my lh surge, I've totally lost trust in it.

Just realised all my typos in my post! Think you get the jist.

@surreygirl1987 hey cycle buddy... Yep doing smep this time I'm actually quite excited as it's been 12 months of trying to glad to find something new. I'm on cough medicine as I feel rough Anyway! Not sure about post ov sex tbh I don't think it matters perhaps have to fake it for a week did I just say that!?

Fake it a couple of times lmao

I have often thought about that
Making the womb contract while it's trying to house a little one?
