I know this is very likely a negative result but it’s a little darker than a few days ago so am I likely to ovulate soon???

Hey girls, so I just got my first flashing smiley on the clear blue 💗 dunno why I’m so excited! I’m thinking I may ovulate over the next couple of days? Not sure how it works! Weird as I done one this morning and nothing and now on a whim tested and it’s a flashy! Was starting to worry I was infertile as just getting a circle! Done a cheap opk too and there’s a line but it’s not quite there yet.. so all looks about right!

How is everyone? Had a few drinks last night and a late night so feeling a bit 🤪

@eastview did you get af?? Any news?

@Itsemily where are you now?

@LazyDogFox how are things going with you?

Xx

@sunflower2019 woohooooo haha. That's good. Usually you will get a flashing smiley for roughly 5 or so days, and then it should come to a static smiley. Keep testing but only once a day in the AM to get accurate results.
I am going to start testing with my CB digital in 3 or so days. My period came back a bit more today after no bleeding as of last night and this morning, suddenly felt something this afternoon-good job I was protected! So it does look like my AF is 5 days like the old days!
So I am going to start doing my OPK's in a couple of days. Now you get cracking with DTD! xx

Sunflower2019 · 25/10/2019 17:27

@Itsemily that’s good! Least you have a regular cycle, mine last 5 days too!

I’m hoping this month is it but I’m reluctant to get excited as I’ve been pretty stressed and just asked dp to dtd with me and he says he’s tired so gone for a nap 😂 we will see....

Apparently my app says ovulation due around 28th so reckon it’s pretty close, as my cheapky opk was quite dark... so maybe sooner! Xx

GaaaaarlicBread · 25/10/2019 17:50

@sunflower2018 hopefully his nap does the trick lol
I can't even remember what the end of a period feels like because I thought I had ha day period back beginning of this month but it was super light , more spotting, and now I know this was a proper period but how do I know when it's coming to an end as I'm slightly spotting now (sorry tmi), it's not a full flow, but does it go more of a discharge ? I don't want to assume it's finished, DTD and it not end pleasantly lol...

LazyDogFox · 25/10/2019 20:02

@Sunflower2019 that’s great news about your smiley! I’ve recently bought some cheap OPKs as I just wanted to check I’m actually ovulating!

@Itsemily I sometimes get that with my period, it goes and then comes back for a few days. Hopefully it stops soon for you!

I’ve had PMS symptoms today. I’m due AF in 5 days so I’m bracing myself for that. Defo not my month to have conceived as we haven’t DTD enough I don’t think. I’ve felt very teary and anxious all day, hormones combined with stress of TTC are not good!

GaaaaarlicBread · 25/10/2019 20:05

@LazyDogFox it only takes the once! You could be in with a chance! My Auntie had sex once in a month (Exciting I know), wasn't trying for a baby , was on the pill , wasn't tracking ovulation or anything. She got pregnant!

LazyDogFox · 25/10/2019 20:52

@Itsemily ah wow! Yeah I guess I’m not out until
AF shows up but I just have a feeling. We will soon find out I suppose!

Sunflower2019 · 26/10/2019 10:38

I’ve still got the flashing smiley this morning so that’s good news! I’ve normally ovulated by now if I’m going by my app and cheapy opks.. but hoping it is just my cycle trying to get back to normal! Just want the static now 😍

How are you girls?. X

That’s great @Sunflower2019 hope it stays for you!

Well I did two cheapie tests this morning, one at 6.45 and I thought I saw something like a shadow, did another at 9.15 and there’s still a pinkish shadow but I’m sure it’s just an indent in some dodgy tests. My boyfriend says he can’t see it so maybe it’s just my eyes!

Sunflower2019 · 26/10/2019 11:10

@Lazydogfox upload it!!! We all love a squinter!!!! When is af officially due?? I just want to ovulate already..

I took a picture but deleted it as you can’t see anything on the picture. Must defo be my eyes :( x

eastview · 26/10/2019 12:12

Hey guys! AF came today! Disappointed but kind of happy that I'm getting more regular as it's pretty much bang on so that's good news! Fingers crossed for this month!

How you all getting on? X

Sunflower2019 · 26/10/2019 16:50

@LazyDogFox take one tomorrow fmu and go from there!

I’m still getting a flashing smiley! Just want a smiley that doesn’t flash now 😂

@eastview aah sorry, it’s always a little gutting at that stage but also nice to know your body is working as it should!

I have a feeling one of us will get a BFP very soon 🤞

LazyDogFox · 27/10/2019 11:32

@sunflower2019 thank you lovely. I’m so shocked I genuinely thought I was out! I’m just so worried it won’t stick.

With regards to your flashing smiley how many days has that been? Have you been DTD anyway? I don’t really know how they work if I’m honest but I’m guessing flashing means you’re near peak ovulation? Xx

Sunflower2019 · 27/10/2019 11:39

@LazyDogFox I know it’s to surreal isn’t it.. I was like that when I found out I was pregnant with dd.. didn’t even feel pregnant!

It was flashing this morning and my opk was darker so was hoping it would be a solid smiley.. but I’ve just done another opk and about to check it.. I may try hold pee for 3/4 hours and do another clear blue as I’ve either missed it or it’s very close!!! Then I’ve got that whole dreaded tww 🙄 xxx

OP posts:
LazyDogFox · 27/10/2019 11:57

I know! I don’t feel anything really except some butterflies now haha.

Hmm maybe you surged but like right after you tested so the test missed it? X

Sunflower2019 · 27/10/2019 20:24

Yet again another UTI 😢 laying in the bath trying to relieve it.. not sure why I keep getting them, maybe it’s the constant dtd? Sure I use to have this much before tho!!

Think im very close to ovulation.. but I can’t pee enough to test 🤦🏽‍♀️ Xx

OP posts:
GaaaaarlicBread · 28/10/2019 17:06

@Sunflower2019 oh no I hope you’re ok. I take cranberry pills most days now (dr has said they’re ok ), because when I first met DH I got UTI’s all the time and I was like it must be from DTD more often . Then they stopped coming When I took the pills . The I stopped taking them and didn’t have any infections for ages then when we started DTD every other day or so , I got another infection . First one in about a year. I highly recommend taking cranberry pills from Holland and barrett , they are amazing at preventing the infections . X

Sunflower2019 · 28/10/2019 21:17

Oh really.. well I’ve been drinking glasses and glasses of cranberry.. like a weird person 😂 must be dtd I said to dp I’m allergic to his semen, he didn’t look amused Confused
I know you are meant to pee straight after but I’ve been just falling asleep as it’s late. My dp is starting his new job so has to be asleep by 9 every night so going to be weird as he has to leave the house by 5am :/

How are you? @Itsemily thanks for the message on other thread! This has really stressed me out :(

OP posts:
Sunflower2019 · 29/10/2019 18:49

Well I’m super grumpy tonight 🤦🏽‍♀️ Dp gone to bed as we argued over the milk 😂 he’s eating more and using so much more milk since he’s started this job.. and we just flipped at each other! Think it’s tiredness... feel like I’ll never get pregnant because of the stress. I just find him such hard work sometimes 😐 I literally do everything in the house atm, paying all the bills until he gets his pay at his new job.. 🙄
Anyway rant over girls.. sorry xxx

GaaaaarlicBread · 30/10/2019 20:58

@Sunflower2019 try not to stress, it can have an effect on things like ovulation etc. For saying how much I overthink things, I have generally been really chilled out. My heart sinks a bit if DH stay sup late playing on his xbox , or goes to bed early but the last few days he has been the one making the first move which is nice!

It's hard with bills etc but it'll work out when your Husband gets paid. Try not to argue over the little things xxx
