Would be great to hear your stories and support each other along the way. Wishing you all baby dust☺️💐xx

@meepmoop awwww congratulations!!👍🏻☺️😁bet you are so so happy! Have you told DH yet? X

Thanks @Waiting2bMum I'm so happy. Not yet, waiting for him to finish work. Time is ticking away so slowly

@meepmoop l’m on day 10.

Congrats on your BFP!

@Greysgirl thank you! I ovulated on day 28 this month so maybe keep testing and you'll get a line soon.

@meepmoop wow you have good will power I couldn't hold off telling him straight away!

@meepmoop Massive congratulations that’s amazing!!! 💖🎉💖🎉

@greysgirl I was literally about the post the exact same thing! I’m due to ovulate (CD15) tomorrow but don’t seem to be getting anywhere near a positive OPK 😫 starting to worry that I’m not ovulating too 😞

Did anyone’s OPKs look like this 3 days running up to ov?

@MrsE95 I’ve just done another one today and it’s got no second line at all. I’m 2 days away from OV according to my app 😬

@MrsE95 have you tried the clear blue digital ovulation tests? Last time we was TTC they worked the first cycle we tried them. I found any none digital OPKs confusing and they always gave us mixed results. Trouble is, digital ones are so expensive.

@Meepmoop Congratulations

@Meepmoop congratulations! 💐💖

@MrsE95 mine normally look like that even the day before and then suddenly a dark one appears. How many times a day are you testing?

@sienna9522 Definitly could not afford the clear blue one every month. 🙈 going to see how I get with these first then I might be tempted even though I should not!

@waiting2bmum I’ve only tested once a day so far but going to test again tonight and then maybe 3/4 times tomorrow? Not sure really when I should be testing. What do you do?

@MrsE95 o used the internet cheapies get 50 for about £2 and around 5 days before I test from second urine (should never use first) and I test about 4 times a day because I find suddenly the line gets darker and I start early in case I ovulate early.

Hi all hope it's okay I jump on?

TTC#1 currently on cycle 2 (my period was all over the place last month). Ordered a big pack of cheapy OPK strips so I'm ready to go (also keep checking my CM like a mad woman 🙈)
Did my first OPK test today (a line actually showed up when I expected it to be blank!) - I'm currently on CD9 and should be ovulating according to my app on CD21. But I've got such irregular periods that it may happen earlier or later 🤦🏻‍♀️

Congrats to those with bfp! Fingers crossed for all 😊🤞🏽

Hi girls how's everyone getting on? I'm 7DPO today and today I had a load of watery CM so much that I felt like I'd come on and had to dash to the bathroom, normally at this time before AF is due I normally have that thick pasty lotion type stuff! Anyone familiar with this I know it's probably just signs AF is on her way just thought I'd ask. This is the first month when I'm not going to test unless AF is late! I can do this 💪🏻

Hi @Abzi91 welcome☺️ more the merrier👍🏻what contraception was you on? Can take a few months to regulate after stopping. And with OPK's you can get a faint line like that when your not near ovulating, but keep checking as you may ovulate earlier x
@MrsP4 hey, still waiting for ovulation due this Saturday🤞🏻I'm not familiar with that, sorry can't help you there. Maybe a good sign though? X

What do we think ladies near as dark as the control line? Supposed to be ovulating Saturday but looks like I'm getting close x

That’s looking good @waiting2bmum looking like it may be sooner than Saturday!

I am very confused however as mine looked just like that at 9pm last night then my one at 10.30am has gone back to being light again. Could I have had my LH surge over night? 😫😫

@MrsE95 quite possibly, I seem to only ever get one real dark one and then it turns light again. Some people seem to get positives for 3 days I never do x

@waiting2bmum it’s all so very confusing and frustrating. 🙈 can’t imagine how you feel after so many cycles massive fingers crossed this is your month. I feel like it is. 💖💖

@Waiting2bMum thanks! We were only using condoms - I've just always had very irregular periods unfortunately! Got myself booked in for a blood test so they can check if I ovulated this month. Fingers crossed! I'm just glad a line has showed up and just hope it gets darker 😂
Your test looks like it'll be dark in a few days! Maybe even before Saturday 🤞🏽🤞🏽

According to my app I should be OV tomorrow but my OPK looks like this and has done for days. My cycle is reasonably regular. I was a week late in Dec but not chance of pregnancy as DH was away during the critical time.

@MrsP4 I’ve had watery CM too. I don’t know what it’s about or how it relates to my cycle though.

This is my first cycle trying but I have data logged for the last 22 cycles and it can be anywhere between 24 and 29 days, with the average being 27. I’m using the Flo app but not sure whether to trust it’s predications so been DTD as often as possible to cover all tracks 😬

Oh really @Sienna9522 Strange isn't it! I can't remember ever getting it after ovulation, trying not to read in to it too much though 🙈

@MrsP4 I think I remember when I was pregnant with my first, just before I was due my period I had an increase in discharge and thought to myself ‘well this doesn’t usually happen before I’m due on’. It’s way too early to tell for me this time, but fingers crossed it’s a good sign for you!
