Fingers crossed!

@CarysC I'm doing ok thanks, I seem so much calmer this cycle, no horrible mood swings so far, only cd12 I'm going to start to use OPK's today, but dont expect to see anything yet due to 38 days cycle last month.
@Luckylola12 I was on sertraline before TTC and my GP helped me come off them before, it took around 6 months, but I'm doing ok now.
DH is on citalopram and went to see GP last week as he was worried it may effect his fertility, apparently the GP said it's fine, wont have any effect on the man at all. I hope that will put your mind at ease

@MrsC89 is that just citalporam that doesn't effect men or sertraline too? I'm hoping it's not effecting DH fertility! When he first started taking it he had difficulty uh, finishing if you get what I mean but that's no longer a problem.

It must be a pain not having regular cycles, never knowing when you've ovulated, I found the OPK sticks very useful last month when using them but I pretty much ovulated when my fertility apps said I would. I'm very predictable with my 29 day cycle, I guess that's one thing I should be thankful for!

Good luck to you both and baby dust all round, lots of positive vibes! I'm feeling good about this cycle! Really relaxed about it!

@CarysC I'm not too sure if im honest. He specifically asked about Citalopram. All the GP said to me about the Sertraline was it was better if I could try and come off it.
I do understand about the whole "finishing" on anti depressants, it very much used to feel like that with us.
I do find it strange though, since being off the anti depressants my sex drive has gone through the roof, whereas DH still on the medication
I am feeling really relaxed about this cycle, baby dust all round!
Just did an OPK, can you get an indent line on them?
Also I'm the worst at trying to remember to temp in the morning.
Maybe I should just start trying to read tea leaves 🤣

😂 tea leaves may give us more answers! I'm starting to temp now even though I'm at the end of this cycle, but at least trying to get into the habit incase this cycle is unsuccessful. Not easy to remember as it's got to be the first thing you do when you wake up, will have to wait and see how accurate it is.

What do you mean by indent marks on OPKs? Lines without colour? I've only had a line or no line, really faint lines that gradually get darker the closer to ovulation. Tough I only used them last cycle not this one. Though my second line never got as dark as the first line, just got darker over a few days and then suddenly fainter. It's all just a massive guessing game really 😄

Oh @MrsC89 @Luckylola12 I've had a name change it's Carysc

@Carysmatic I'm not too sure if I'm honest, did the opk the control line is really faint, but I can see a line where the second line should be. Its so faint I cant tell if it has colour 🤣

@MrsC89 did you get a picture?

See how faint it is!

Wow that is faint, think I see something though, keep testing daily and it'll prove get darker the closer to o day you get. What cycle day are you on? Xx

@Carysmatic I will carry on testing daily, I'm on cd12 with the long cycle last month I'm just going to carry on testing everyday now.

@MrsC89 let me know how you get on.

I'm still getting crampy feelings in my lower abdomen. I'm hoping it's a good sign. I feel really different this cycle, really positive about it.

Hi ladies. Well according to FF app I'm now 5dpo I don't have any symptoms other than creamy cm which has usually dryed up by now. I have got a really sore throat, so I'm wondering if maybe that is what has given me my temp shift not ovulation (why is this ttc thing not just easy)

Where are you ladies at?

@Lilimum7 6dpo today, lots of cramping in lower abdo and kinda feeling cramps, twinges in vagina but that was more yesterday morning. I also had a bit of nausea yesterday morning. But I just feel a bit different, feeling very calm about it all at the moment and very positive about this cycle.

Heyy @mrsc89 @carysmatic i had a good talk with dh last night. I told him ive been non stop googling stuff and sending myself mad! We are going to have a super chilled month, off on holiday soon aswell =) im going to stay off here this cycle. Wish you both all the luck for a bfp! Speak soon x

Hey @Luckylola12 best of luck for this cycle! Enjoy your holiday and try and relax and enjoy time with your DH! And DTD loads! 😂 xxx

@Carysmatic those symptoms sound promising hun. Fx for us. Do you test early if so what dpo do you test and do you use frer's if so try savers answer test its identical to frer but half the price, it even as sensitive in fact I found it picked up hcg before a frer did and it was clearer too

@Carysmatic that is all sounding promising!

@Lilimum7 how are you doing today?

@Luckylola12 enjoy your holiday, relax and enjoy yourself!

I took another opk today, control line still as faint but I could see a faint second line again, I properly inspected it before using so I am more sure that it was a faint little line today 🤣

@MrsC89 hi I'm good thanks 5/6 dpo now so symptom spotting like mad sadly nothing to report yet.

I use FF app for temping and premom app for opks it has a scanner on the premom app that reads your opk strips for you and tells you if it low, high or peak and even plots a little graph so you can see the LH rise it great. I've included some pics so you can see what I mean

@Lilimum7 thanks, that does look like a really useful app! I am floating between clue and my tracker they both have very different days predicted as ovulation day, hence the opks until I have more of an idea when it is. Hoping to have a more normal length cycle this month!

Thanks @Lilimum7 and @MrsC89 I think it's positive sign but who knows it could all just be AF rearing her ugly head! So difficult not to get hopes up but I am still feeling pretty good about this month! My colleague at work is an ex-midwife and she's the only one I've told about is TTC and she's so excited and keeps checking in with me. She's convinced I'll fall really easily! Who knows!

I had such a good nights sleep last night yet today I feel exhausted, can hardly keep my eyes open, feel really light headed and just strange. I've heard that you can feel like this in early pregnancy, maybe this is another sign. Or maybe I'm just tired 😂

@Carysmatic it's all sounding good hun when do you test

@Lilimum7 Really going to try and hold off on testing to avoid a potential false bfn as that would just really bum me out. I'll maybe test day before AF, my symptoms for AF are really obvious so really I'll be able to tell a few days before if it's coming. I've got a few frer tests so I could test sooner but I don't know if I can bring myself to yet. I'm 7-8 DPO so little early yet.

I had a 3hour nap today!! I never nap in the day but I was shattered, shut my eyes and woke up 3hours later, really dazed and confused. Really weird!

So cramping really bad today, kinda like when AF arrives and feeling really sick. Also like when AF arrives. I'm on several apps and they all tell me AF is due different days. One says next Saturday, one says Friday and one says Thursday. If I'm due Saturday it would be too early to test with a FRER, but if I'm due Thursday then that in 5 days time and FRER can pick up 6 days before AF due. Do I test or do I wait? This is the first time I've been tempted this month 8dpo today

@Carysmatic how are you doing today?

I think I managed to get my LH surge on the opk's.
Test from this morning around 11ish had 2 clear lines on it, then test around 5pm nothing but the control line.
I'm weirdly quite excited that I managed to see it!
