@gjchapman I bet you feel like you've quite literally just pissed £5 away! (Or if you bought the same one I did £7!!)

gjchapman · 05/09/2018 19:30

@BabySquid yeah it was a £5 for two one. I don't want to waste the other one, so got to just wait now. I wasted £7 last month ;(

Delilah7 · 05/09/2018 20:09

Hope you've all been ok today! I've been AWOL this evening as been at a spa and had some relaxing time! We haven't DTD yet and I stopped bleeding Monday. If I'm honest I've just been awfully tired so! Doing an OPKS from Friday!

@Crossfitgirl welcome back darling we missed you. Boobs is a good sign I'd say! ;) xx

@MrsC87 you never know. Keep an eye on those symptoms.

@shelly10 all good Hun you?? Xx

How’s everyone getting on? How many of us are currently in the 2WW??

Im 7dpo today’s today and AF is due on Monday. Ill probably POAS on the weekend because I cant help myself.

shelly10 · 05/09/2018 20:41

Good thanks@Delilah7! And nice to see you back @Crossfitgirl! Sorry AF turned up @MrsR16 she ruins a good day doesn't she?!
I'm on cycle day 22 today and FINALLY got my first flashing smiley face on my Clearblue OPK so I'm really happy about that! Took its time! Have just caught up on the thread and great to hear everybody is doing ok. Hoping for our first thread BFP soon! Xx

MrsR16 · 05/09/2018 20:45

@Delilah7 aw bet that was lovely and just what you needed to recuperate!

@Patapouf ooh... 🤞🤞🤞for Monday! Providing you can hold on till then. Definitely wouldn't blame you if you cracked before then!

@shelly10 that she does! Just plain rude I think 😂 exciting about the OPK flashing smiley face!

Delilah7 · 05/09/2018 20:47

@Patapouf you do it when you're ready. I'm waiting for fertile week!

@shelly10 get DTD babyyyyy!!!

@MrsR16 it was really nice but I'm knackered now!! Xx

God help me I've downloaded a fertility ap and have been looking at thermometers online... yeah this 'just see how it goes, no need to get obsessive' approach hasn't lasted long :)

MrsR16 · 05/09/2018 21:12

@FivexFive it didn't last long with me either!

ValidUser · 05/09/2018 21:13

@MrsR16 and @FivexFive my non-obsessive phase was over before it began!

BambiOnIce80 · 05/09/2018 21:17

Yep @FivexFive, you're in good company on here 😂 The interesting thing I've found at cycle 6 is that you kind of go full-circle and back away from it a bit the longer you're at it... purely so that you don't drive yourself 🦇💩🤪😉

FlapJackered · 05/09/2018 22:52

@Delilah7 Spa sounds lovely! What cd are you on? I am cd9 and thinking of starting the cheapy opks tomorrow. I know it's probably ridiculously early but it will be Sod's law I ov early the one time I start testing later....and when there is an opportunity to poas why would I wait!? 😂

@Patapouf will keep my fingers crossed for you! It is definitely time for another bfp on this thread!

@shelly10 the smileys are great aren't they! Hopefully your static smiley will come soon! Last cycle I had a flashing smiley for 14 days (which is not usual!) and I was ready to throw the damn thing out of the window and swore I wouldn't use them this time. Yet here I am with a new box ready to start again! Damn those addictive smileys! 🙈

@FivexFive welcome to the club 😂

I love a @Crossfitgirl essay! Good luck for Saturday lovely, really hope it's a bfp for you. X

@gjchapman I would probably take it as a sign to wait but probably not wait and end up testing the next day! Good luck 🤞🏻

Crossfitgirl · 06/09/2018 06:25

@gjchapman def a sign to wait! That happened to me the one cycle I tested. I was gutted! Used a really old test lol. Come on weekend hurry up!

BabySquid · 06/09/2018 07:10

So how many of us are testing on Saturday???
🙋🏼‍♀️
@Crossfitgirl
@Patapouf
@gjchapman

I hope we get all 4 BFP's🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Delilah7 · 06/09/2018 07:31

@FlapJackered I'm CD7 but I just feel I probably ovulate a few days earlier or later and probably will due to miscarriage last month so I'm just gonna start then tomorrow 😂 need to buy a little plastic cup though 😂😂

mrsof20118 · 06/09/2018 07:38

@Delilah7 I think we're about on a very similar cycle this month.

If I were to start doing the clear blue ovulation tests when is the best time to start?

FlapJackered · 06/09/2018 07:41

@mrsof20118 it depends on your average cycle length - there is a leaflet inside the box which gives you a guide of when to start testing.

Delilah7 · 06/09/2018 07:42

@FlapJackered @mrsof20118 I agree, although SMEP says CD10 onwards xx

OP posts:
Crossfitgirl · 06/09/2018 07:58

@babysquid although my AF is due sat, I don't know whether to hold out til sunday, as I'll only be 9dpo. At least then I'll be "late".
Plus if its a bfn I won't be depressed all the way to kos. I kinda wanna test now though!

FivexFive · 06/09/2018 08:11

Morning all! Thanks for making me feel less crazy :) Got my first flashing smiley face this morning. Was about to go 'get on it' then my cat threw up so that kind of put us off! Hopefully tonight though :) DH words... 'Yay you're eggy!'
We're almost at the weekend ladies. Hope you all have some good stuff planned? X

Delilah7 · 06/09/2018 08:31

@FivexFive yayyyy. Have fun tonight lovely x

shelleybear0313 · 06/09/2018 09:18

Mrsr16 in the same boat this morning, af has begun to show her face, not properly yet but I'm sure it will by the end of the day. Actually quite sad, tried really hard this month. Onwards and upwards I suppose. How are all you lovely ladies this morning? Xxx

BabySquid · 06/09/2018 09:46

@shelleybear0313 so sorry lovely I had my hopes up for you.
I'm feeling impatient this week. I never usually do I'm quite easy going. Go with the flow and all that but it's starting to get to me now. I think it's coz I feel differently this month so I'm convinced this is our month.
Can't even drown my sorrows if I'm not, sodding dental antibiotics!!

cupcakesandglitter · 06/09/2018 09:52

@shelleybear0313 ah sorry :( onto the next month!! Onwards and upwards like you said x

@BabySquid how long until you test? X

I didn't get a chance to DTD with DH last night and won't get to today either - according to Flo I ovulated yesterday so I'm a little upset that we've missed it. Still torn between whether we DTD every other day or just relax and DTD when we feel like it 😩

BambiOnIce80 · 06/09/2018 10:12

@cupcakesandglitter I'm CD13 today, so well and truly in my fertile window like you. Discussed the game plan with DP and he's up for every other night going into next week (starting yesterday, so at least we've got one in the bag 😉) , and any other time he's feeling particularly up for it 👍 The main thing we're trying to avoid is getting stressed about it and causing performance issues for him and unnecessary tears of frustration for me!
