I guess I feel I'm out because I think I probably didn't ovulate and even if I did I probably didn't dtd on the right days due to no positive ov test... What's even more annoying is that it's the first time we've had consistent success as it were with my hubby not feeling too much pressure...

I think I need to go to my gp again as I’ve just got a near positive on an opk on cd 14 when I have 25 day cycles. There will never be a chance of s viable pregnancy

Can I ask a question please? We are going to try SMEP as my periods just returned after an mc. Do you do the 3 days dtd in a row when you get a flashy or static smiley on clear blue digital ovulation tests? Thanks

Thanks Katie Smile, luckily we seem to have managed to align a long painted weekend away with when I think I might ovulate although my cycle is all mixed up after mc.

But i feel still in with a chance as I'm about 6dpo getting a few symptoms but no cramps which is unusual for me, bowl movement (sorry), insomnia and tingly boobs however I'll attach a copy of my chart

I'm definitely discarding this morning's temp lol have you ever seen such a thing? I had a really bad nights sleep with insomnia so think that's why!

Hi @Birchgirl starting from CD8 DTD every other day. From CD10 starting doing ovulation tests, as soon as you get a positive one DTD three days in a row, a day off then once more

Congrats @anxiouswaiting If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been ttc for and how many months did you try SMEP?

anxiouswaiting · 22/01/2018 16:11

@Filzma I tested at 9 and 10 dpo with frer and they were feint but defo there. 11dpo frer darker and today 12dpo very clear pink line plus my internet cheapies which are less sensitive are showing light lines now as well. AF is due on Wednesday so will do a clear blue wednesday or thursday. Last month was chemical and I never got anything more than a light line on frer and no other test picked it up so hope this time it is looking better and my hcg is rising.
