@MrsEG we have a rough sex schedule this month, what is your schedule? Have you got specific days marked out? I think as my ovulation day is not that easy to predict it has to be movable for us.
I am really hoping ov surprises me and jumps out before Easter with the family when it is due. 🤦🏼‍♀️

MrsEG · 16/04/2019 15:38

@FlapJackered We mark out specific days, based on predicted ov and our work schedules (DH often works very early or very late). Before the MMC my ovulation date was always the same but I’ll be double checking this month too :)

Tropicana1 · 16/04/2019 16:53

@KatBeCool oh interesting I didn't know that! My only concern with temping is that I'm a really restless sleeper and because of work sometimes have to get up and go in in the middle of the night etc so not sure it would work very well for me

@FlapJackered @MrsEG we're planning for every other day this week until I get my positive opk!

AysLon · 16/04/2019 16:59

Guys I need advice re symptom spotting. I am 7dpo AF due in 7 daysish. Today I have really been noticing watery CM. Lots of it. This is unusual for this time of the cycle. No other symptoms. Any one else have anything similar?

Veevee457 · 16/04/2019 17:16

Yes @ayslon me! Have no idea how many days PO I am as I think my body attempted to last week but might have actually only ovulated on Sun or Mon just gone. This is following a chemical last month. I reas though that cm isn't the best indicator of pregnancy though.
I think I have slight lower back pain too which I definitely had last month but I also could be imagining it!! 🙈

Tropicana1 · 16/04/2019 17:42

Ladies! Amazon have clear blue advanced OPKs on offer at the moment a 20 pack for £23! Just thought I'd mention in case any one else wants to stock up 😂

AysLon · 16/04/2019 17:44

@Veevee457 The more I Google it the more I think watery CM 7dpo doesn't mean BFP LOL this Is ridiculous, I guess we should see what else we get in the next 7 days.
I'm not 100% I O 7 days ago because I don't temp check but I O every month and CBOPK suggests it was last tues so who knows. I think I did O.

Chembecky · 16/04/2019 18:06

@Tropicana1 are the clearblue ones better than the dip OPKs? I'm new to Poke and I only started using them this cycle! I used the boots sticks this time round because they were the best option to take away (didn't want to pee in a cup on hol....!) But I have bought some of the dip ones for next month (if I need them...!)

Chembecky · 16/04/2019 18:06

OPKs (not poke!)

ValidUser · 16/04/2019 18:09

So don't have much pms but bfn on a FRER at 11dpo. Likely out this cycle.

starkid · 16/04/2019 18:13

Hi everyone, I've been a bit MIA the last couple of weeks so might have missed some BFP/AF's... So I'm going to post the stats again and tag everyone. If you don't wish to be in the stats anymore or if there's anything inaccurate, please let me know! There's probably a bunch of people who don't follow this thread anymore tagged, so just let me know if you wish to be removed Smile (tag me in your replies case I miss your post)

@Chembecky I think the cheap dip ones are just as accurate probably, I just don't know my cycles well enough to just rely on them I don't think yet!

Fivebyfive2 · 16/04/2019 18:40

@Starkid, thank you for doing the stats! Xx

@Tropicana, thanks for the tip, may have to get some while they're on offer!! Xx

We don't have a schedule, but aim for every other day... I'll settle for every 2/3 days if one or both of us isn't feeling it. But I am definitely gonna make sure we dtd if/when I get a static face, maybe even the day after that too... Feeling determined!! But that won't be until the weekend I think.

Fivebyfive2 · 16/04/2019 19:05

Just done an amazon shop...20 cb opks, 2 frers and a pack of pregacare conception vitamins for under £37, not bad!! I have officially gone overboard I think... Ah well!!

Lola871 · 16/04/2019 19:12

@Starkid thanks for the stats, that's all correct for me 😊
Ov due today or tomorrow, haven't DTD since Friday so need to crack on tonight!

LokiCat · 16/04/2019 19:35

@ValidUser I didn't have any symptoms on 11dpo and got a bfn (it was on a cheapie) and then tested again on 12dpo and got a faint bfp. Fingers crossed you're still in this month 🤞🏽

Thanks for the tip @Tropicana1 I've been using the dip stick OPKs but was debating whether I used try the digital ones.

Thanks for keeping up with stats @starkid

Have fun dtd tonight and tomorrow! 😉@Lola871

Already so bored of AF! I want to start testing already. Plus my cycles are usually 35-36 days so ovulation probably won't be till CD21/22 😩🙈

ValidUser · 16/04/2019 19:48

@LokiCat I love your optimism!

@starkid thank you for your accurate statistics!

AysLon · 16/04/2019 20:02

@LokiCat your cycles are like mine! I waited 9 days to see a peak smiley face on CBOPK on CD23!! I'm officially CD30 today, 7dpo I reckon. We shall see...I'm symptom spotting like mad, this is not good for my mental health. Going to try to take my mind off all of this till after Easter but I will deffo be lurking because I can't get enough!!! I need help

FlapJackered · 16/04/2019 20:04

@MrsEG I wish my ovulation day was predictable it would make the planning easier! I am hoping my cycle isn't too messed up either. 🤞🏻

@Tropicana1 I think that is what we will do too. Every other day until positive opk!
Thanks for the CB amazon tip! Like @Fivebyfive2 I have stocked up on them and frers and it will be Sod's law if I get my bfp this cycle and don't get to use them (although I won't mind!)

AysLon · 16/04/2019 20:10

@starkid accurate stats for me Smile

Chembecky · 16/04/2019 20:12

How do the pregnacare vitamins compare with the seven seas trying for a baby ones? So far I'm taking those and I like the small tablets and the packets with the days on so I know if I've taken one or not!

SophWolf · 16/04/2019 20:18

Hi @starkid thank you for the stats! I'm now cd 13 of cycle 2. Af came 28 days after coming off the pill so not too bad really. This time I'm trying the seven seas, temping and using the clear blue OPK to see if / when I ovulate 🙈. Oh and as of last week I'm now 32!

Tropicana1 · 16/04/2019 20:35

@Fivebyfive2 @FlapJackered I know, I put two boxes in my basket along with some FRERs like, "how much is too much to spend" 😂

@Chembecky I take the pregnacare conception ones, they're quite big but I find them fine to take personally

starkid · 16/04/2019 20:35

@SophWolf - thanks, have updated :) nice that you had a decent cycle!

Is it ok if I join?
Lurking for a little while but could do with the support tbh.

32, TTC 1st, rolling into cycle 3, serial symptom spotter (which I did not expect).
Also a TWW manic

Day 2 of AF, really though it is sussed it last month. AF was slightly late too (which doesn’t happen).

Just purchased clear blue ovulation sticks in hope that’ll help.
