@starkid yeah maybe. I'm doing the Clearblue advanced digital too but that was just the flashing face yesterday and today. It's been flashing for 7 days now. Will keep doing the cheaper opk's and see what happens but I'll still get BD'ing and keep my fingers crossed x

KatBeCool · 12/03/2019 16:18

@BabyO1988 I was going to say that judging by your photos, it's not positive yet. And you just added that CB is still flashing, so it's definitely not positive. Don't get concerned that it hasn't happened yet. It shows your hormones elevated, so it's on its way. Might be another day or two, keep testing, especially with internet cheapies, 2-3 tubes a day. What CD are you?

@LokiCat so sorry to hear that. Enjoy your month off.

starkid · 12/03/2019 16:26

@BabyO1988 - I just did one which is close to positive, so I'm now panicking in case it ends up positive tonight, as we've only done it once so far Sunday as AF took bloody ages to drop off entirely! Confused ahhh need to BD the next 2 days like a maniac 😂

TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 14!
BabyO1988 · 12/03/2019 16:32

@KatBeCool my cycles are slightly longer than I'd hoped they'd be. Came off the pill in August. I'm on cycle day 26. Didn't expect to be ovulating until around now though.

@starkid yours looks weaker than mine was yesterday. I did get a little ewcm yesterday but quite a bit of cm too. I think I'm just hoping it was a sign of ovulation rather than the actual thing. What cd are you on? X

KatBeCool · 12/03/2019 16:36

@starkid why you panicking ? You haven't ovulated yet and it's not instant anyway, and your opk isn't positive yet. It takes 45 minutes on average for the sperm to reach their place in the tubes, and you still got days before the egg comes. Calm down lol.

starkid · 12/03/2019 16:38

@BabyO1988 - I'm CD14, and have previously gotten positive OPKs anywhere between CD14-18, so we need to get cracking I think! I've had a lot of ewcm the last 3 days too (which is useful)

starkid · 12/03/2019 16:40

@KatBeCool - Haha I know, just annoyed because I always say I'll get more days in each cycle, then things crop up which make it so we don't do it as much as I'd have liked. Hopefully the opk's stay almost positive for a couple more days yet

starkid · 12/03/2019 16:42

(more days of BDing I mean)

Lozzlepop · 12/03/2019 16:52

@BabyO1988 get DTD girl! Are you leaving them the full 10 mins to develop? Last month I OV on CD19 and this month it was CD16 (which I think I missed as I was out) but we DTD 2 days before and the day after so fingers crossed we may have caught it. If in doubt just DTD I say 😉

BabyO1988 · 12/03/2019 17:58

@Lozzlepop 😂 I'm still going to dtd for the next few nights in a row to make sure we cover it just in case.

Yeah I'm leaving them the full 10 minutes. It's the darkest I've ever had them so I'm hoping it's a good sign. Been having slight pains/cramps (but only light ones) last week and some yesterday and today but don't know if it's my brain playing tricks on me! X

BostonFern · 12/03/2019 19:22

@Lozzlepop @MrsR16 always nice to have someone to symptom spot with!

No tips @FlapJackered but good luck!

Good to see you back @cupcakesandglitter

Oh no, really sorry to hear that @LokiCat X

Thanks @Hannah192

Hi @BabyO1988 ! I think you are close to ovulation, but not got a positive OPK yet- the test line needs to be as dark as, or darker than the control line.

@MrsAW2018 I'm ok, getting impatient and worried about how much work stresses me out at the minute- it can't be good for TTC. Sorry to hear it's been a tricky day. I hope tomorrow is better for you x

Hope you've all had good days. The TWW is in full swing now.....hoping the next nine days go quickly.

This may make a few of you laugh. DP is really sweet and really can't wait for our BFP- I gave him some male fertility facts a few days ago, including that 34oC is the ideal temperature for the testes and sperm production, and that's the reason why the testes hang away from the body. Last night he told me he was worried his boxers were too tight and his testes would get too warm as a result.......so next fertile week he will be wearing looser boxers. Bless him!

Fivebyfive2 · 12/03/2019 19:24

Hi ladies, I'm back! Slightly different username... I had a minor F it all moment, deleted my account and then changed my mind! So now I'm fivebyfive2!

@cupcakesandglitter, lovely to see you on here again xxxx

@LokiCat, so sorry to hear your news. Take care and we're here if you need us xx

I had my smm proceedure yesterday. Feeling OK today, to be honest it's a relief to have it all done. Hoping to get back to normal now, will be back at work tomorrow.

I think we're gonna wait until my next af before trying again, as that is what the hospital advised. But wanted to come back on here as I miss the chat! Hope you guys don't mind?

@flapjackered, it's been a no bd zone here for a month as well, same situation I think, so I know what you mean about confidence. I had to wear those sodding de compression stockings at the hospital yesterday... Worried dh will never look at me the same way again!! 😂But hopefully soon I can get the Real Thing on and we can have some practice fun before ttc again after my af... I have every confidence in your seduction technique. Bet your dh will enjoy it!! Xxx

LuckyPenguin · 12/03/2019 19:49

Evening all!

Been quiet on my front. After the argument with my DH, I was so wound up o didn't do the OPKs or temps & now I don't know if I'm coming or going, when I ovulated or anything. We DTD twice around when my fertile week should have been so who knows. Will be a miracle of anything happens this month!

Will catch up on today's posts now - hope everyone's ok! X

LuckyPenguin · 12/03/2019 20:01

@LokiCat - so sorry to hear your news! Sending you hugs xxx

@BabySquid - thank you for offering to take the lead!

BabyO1988 · 12/03/2019 20:14

@BostonFern I thought that too but bding for the next few days won't hurt anyone 😋 hoping I'll get more positive ovulation results in the next few days 🤞🏻

MrsR16 · 12/03/2019 20:35

@Fivebyfive2 it's good to hear from you!! Of course we don't mind 😊 xx

@BostonFern I have to keep telling myself "still got at least a week before any symptoms will happen!" It's not helping! 😂😂

starkid · 12/03/2019 21:44

Had a feeling I'd end up with a positive OPK by the end of the day! Only DTD once 2 days ago, so now time to go to town with BDing 😜

TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 14!
BabyO1988 · 12/03/2019 21:59

@starkid did you have any symptoms with the positive result! Definitely get down to bding ASAP! 😜

FlapJackered · 12/03/2019 22:04

@starkid wahoo, get on it! 🐎

@LuckyPenguin you never know, it might be your lucky month! 🤞🏻 is everything ok with your DH now?

@Fivebyfive2 so good to see you back on here! I am glad you're doing ok.
Tell me about it! DH actually put those stockings on me, doesn't get much more sexy than that!
Success on the sex front! Although definitely less seduction and more getting the job done 🙈.
I have no idea if we should be ttc yet, I never got a debrief from the hospital as I ended up miscarrying naturally and they didn't want to see me again as long as a pg test is negative next week. I am just going off a bit of google research really. Also it is taking my mind off it all by getting stuck back into ttc.

starkid · 12/03/2019 22:33

@FlapJackered - job done here too 😂
@BabyO1988 - just lots of ewcm the last couple of days!

If I ovulate tomorrow/Thursday and have the same luteal phase as normal, I should be due around the 25th/26th.

starkid · 12/03/2019 22:34

Good luck everyone during their fertile weeks and TWW!

SunnyL88 · 12/03/2019 23:13

Can anyone help me out with opk’s? So I’m due to be in my fertile window this week according to Ovia and do have sore nips, terrible neck aches and some ewcm. I got my positive (or so I think) with the opk not yesterday the day before, but did it again today and got nothing. :/( is this normal or have I finished fertile week already?

TTC FIRST BABY - Thread 14!
cupcakesandglitter · 12/03/2019 23:15

Thankyou all ladies ♥️♥️ really missed you all, hope you're all okay xx

@FlapJackered I'm CD12 today 😊 DTD this morning, we're going for every two days 😅 well done on the sex front tonight!!! XX

@KatBeCool glad it was positive - shame about the progesterone, but does PMS mean it's low? Xx

@starkid hope you made the most out of that positive!! Bloody dark line that!! Xx

@Fivebyfive2 good to see you on here ♥️ xx

PinkFizz19 · 12/03/2019 23:37

@LokiCat I'm so so sorry for what you're going through. Sending lots of love your way Flowers

Nice to see some friendly faces back here. However I'm sorry that you are back here and send you lots of baby dust for the future 😘

Sorry to offload ladies but my DP has annoyed me tonight so I need a moan 😣 a bit of history...past 2 months of Clearblue OPKs I've done one at night on CD12 after having EWCM. Both occasions I got a static smiley and assumed I my O was then or the day after? However having re-read the instructions it says to use FMU to avoid a wrong result. So I'm here CD13 and still only had a flashing smiley this morning so not sure if/when I'll be ovulating and whether I ovulated CD12-13 previous months or if I did it wrong with doing it in the evening.

Anyway..sorry I'm rambling...to cover ourselves DP "promised" we would BD 4 nights in a row from CD12 as we did 3 nights last month and this didn't work. We BD last night (also did Saturday) however today he's been watching the horse racing with a few beers so gone up to bed before me and fell asleep. I went to wake him to say what happened to our BD and he asked if he could sleep and "promised" we would BD tomorrow, Thurs and then Saturday instead. I told him I was annoyed as he will be watching the racing again tomorrow and Thursday so will no doubt have a couple of beers and will be sleepy again and his "promise" won't be fulfilled (again). Just so frustrating..on one hand I'm hoping it doesn't matter as I've not had my static smiley and hopefully we can BD when I do but on the other hand I'm sad we've missed tonight just incase.

Sorry for the long moan. I know there's people going through alot worse i just needed someone to rant too 😊 hope no one thinks I'm a right cow. Lol.

KatBeCool · 12/03/2019 23:44

@fivebyfive2 welcome back!

@cupcakesandglitter mainly sore boobs can be a symptom of low progesterone. I always had them, but nothing when I took progesterone. My extra hunger was gone too.
