TTC buddies needed DESPERATELY

I desperately need some TTC buddies. We've just started trying for no.3 and we haven't told anyone. I'm bursting but with no one to talk to. I realise this makes me sound like a total sap

@Squiff70 I don't think it looks positive tho? I'll try one again before I go bed. I did one at 5:30pm and it was completely blank so this one is 2hrs later at 7:45pm (& I had a coffee)

DTD last night. No chance in hell im getting hubby to jump me tonight. I might be lucky tomorrow 🤞 just hoping I am actually ovulating x

Squiff70 · 13/05/2019 20:54

@Robbo93 it's possibly not a blazing positive but it's definitely positive. Now is the time to be DTD!

LuciBee · 13/05/2019 21:11

@Robbo93 I thought the line on the left had to be darker or as dark as the one on the right? If so, I would say that one wasn’t a positive but keep doing them and tou’ll get a positive in the next day or so? I’ll post my OPKs when i did them...

LuciBee · 13/05/2019 21:12

These were my OPKs

Robbo93 · 13/05/2019 21:26

Just done another OPK and there was no line at all. I'll test again tomorrow.

LuciBee · 13/05/2019 21:28

Why are these things so bloody confusing!

Squiff70 · 13/05/2019 21:41

I have no idea but I think you're meant to hold your wee for at least 4 hours

Louise190 · 13/05/2019 21:47

I am fresh from reading the instructions on these OPKs and the test line has to be equal to or stronger than the control line. So much to knooowww 😩

Robbo93 · 13/05/2019 22:13

Yeah I know they have to be equal to or stronger which is why I'm confused that glow has considered it positive 🤔 oh well let's see what tomorrow's test brings...

Robbo93 · 14/05/2019 12:44

My OPK was completely negative this morning, no 2nd line at all... will do another this evening but dunno what's going on lol

LuciBee · 14/05/2019 12:59

@Robbo93 I wonder if you’ve missed it? That line on the other one could have been lh on the way down, if that makes sense?

Robbo93 · 14/05/2019 13:07

@LuciBee not sure.. I know you're meant to hold for 4 hrs but the one I done b4 it was negative and the one after it was too? Then this morn was negative 🥴 I may have a really short LH surge I suppose. We DTD Sunday night so I'm hoping that's enough if it turns out I've missed it lol

Louise190 · 14/05/2019 16:51

Any experiences with preseed lube? Xx

Robbo93 · 14/05/2019 17:11

Soooo afternoon/early evening pee? 😂 glow thinks I ovulated yesterday

@Squiff how’s it going? Think you can last until Friday? I’ve had a few right sided twinges today.

Squiff70 · 14/05/2019 21:20

It's not too late @Robbo93! Keep DTD :)

@LuciBee I've got period pain-like cramps do don't know what's going on. I'm testing on Thursday but Friday would be more realistic at 11 DPO. How are you doing?

Kinsella82 · 15/05/2019 09:02

Hey girls sorry I've been MIA lately. I've been trying to sit back and not be thinking about TTC as much. On cd11 now and got flashing smiley today and yest so looks like things are kicking off again. Feel like my get up and go has gone! Dtd last night. Last month I got three flashing before the static so I'm hopefully in my fertile time now.

Kinsella82 · 15/05/2019 09:05

Good luck @Squiff70 and @LuciBee !!

LuciBee · 15/05/2019 09:24

@Squiff70 9dpo today. I dont feel very hopeful to be honest... we didnt DTD much in my FW. Will leave it until Friday. I had some right sided shooting pain yesterday, but i think thats just symptom spotting which is the worst thing to do! (but hard not to!)

Squiff70 · 15/05/2019 11:53

Thanks @Kinsella82!

@LuciBee I'm also 9DPO today. Is testing tomorrow a day or two too soon do you think? It'll be 6 days before my period is due. Just planning on using an internet cheapie tomorrow and saving the FRERs for the weekend.

LuciBee · 15/05/2019 12:27

Thank you @Kinsella82 :)

@Squiff70 I got a BFP on a cheap test on 11DPO with DC1 so you never know! I have no idea when my AF is due to be honest, predictions have gone out the window on my app so I have nothing to go by!

Squiff70 · 15/05/2019 12:32

@LuciBee ahh that's great! There's no harm in testing tomorow with a cheapie I guess. I have loads and the desire to POAS is getting stronger!

Cupcakes1234 · 15/05/2019 12:42

I think I ovulated over the weekend, light cramping, tender breasts, EWCM which seems to have gone now, we DTD Sunday morning so I could be in with a chance but I don't know. I've got about 10-11 days going by my app until my period is due but I'll hold on until then lol.

Louise190 · 15/05/2019 17:48

Just testing my BBT thermometer. It's supposed to be accurate to 0.01. I read this as 31.2 or its faulty?

Louise190 · 15/05/2019 17:52

Ok, I've just tested it in my thumb pit and watched it whilst it took the reading. I wonder if it needs better batteries? This is the temperate of my thumb pit..!
