Hey ladies
I know there's lots of threads out there for this but who's joining me?
I think I'm either 1 or 2 DPO - got a static smiley on a clear blue digital OPK on Wednesday and annoyingly didn't have any IC to test when I did actually O nor am I temping so guessing I O'd either Thursday or Friday.
I am determined NOT to symptom spot but realistically I will 😂

Me too! Positive OPK Wednesday, either 2 or 3 dpo today I reckon...When do you plan on testing?

MrsLBear · 07/07/2019 07:46

Oh exactly like me then!!
Do you temp?
Is this your first?
Well ... I said I wouldn't poas until sunday 21/7 as af is due on 18/7 but realistically I won't wait that long so I don't know who I am kidding. I do want to wait until af due date though as I test too early every month and then it's so disheartening.
What about you?

I know! The testing early is just painful but such an addiction 😣...I ovulate late in my cycles so my period is on/around the 14th. Currently craving chocolate which isn't a great sign as I always crave chocolate around a week before period comes...

I will probably test on Sunday if AF doesn't arrive...I'll be about 10dpo...

MummyMilla · 07/07/2019 10:49

I'd love to join! Clue app says I ovulated on Wed but I'm not doing the tests. Boobs are mega sore. I had a chemical or last cycle and feel the same as I did then, so keeping everything crossed that this is my month!

I'm 38 and ttc #3.

ClaraLane · 07/07/2019 10:52

Meeee!!!

Clue says I should ovulate tomorrow but we DTD on Friday night and I had cramping yesterday plus a bit of spotting today. AF is due on 22nd which is DH’s birthday and 2 days after our DD turns 2. We’ve been trying for a couple of cycles now and I’m getting disheartened as all our friends seem to be pregnant.

Islandermum · 07/07/2019 11:28

Yay! I'm 2dpo today. How often before ov day did you ladies DTD? I can't help but feel I've not done enough 😅

teachermam · 07/07/2019 11:42

I am only 2 po

Last time dtd was Wednesday and ov on Friday

I was due to ov on Wednesday and assumed I hadn't ov this month

So didn't bother dtd again and then Friday had all ov symptoms but no hubby around

Islandermum · 07/07/2019 12:29

2 days before ov has great conception rates! You've done enough to be in with a chance this month

MrsLBear · 07/07/2019 14:57

@maria2bela what cd did you ovulate? I O late too I didn't until cd25/26 this cycle! Felt like the longest wait.

@MummyMilla hi!! Oh that sounds positive. Fx for you!! When af due?

@ClaraLane I've heard ovulation spotting can be a really good sign so hopefully it's your lucky month!! I know how you feel. I feel like everyone around me are announcing pregnancies left right and centre. Many of which appear to be happy accidents.

@Islandermum I DTD 3days before I got my +opk and then on the day of the + and the day after and then we missed a day and DTD again that day. I mean it takes only one. And also some people DTD 5 days before to try for a certain sex or whatever so it must all be possible! When did you?

Hi! I'm 3 DPO! Suffered MC in May and this is my first proper cycle since so I'm hoping 🤞going to be a long 2 weeks ! Good luck ladies x

maria2bela · 07/07/2019 16:46

@MrsLBear I ovulated CD 20 I THINK, not 100% sure, wbu?

Michellebops · 07/07/2019 18:24

Can I join?

I'm 1 or 2 dpo.

I believe I ovulated between Friday/yesterday based on positive opk Thursday lunchtime and negative one Thursday night.

We dtd Thursday and last night so 🤞 although I'm still getting lots of cm.

I'm 2 weeks post laparoscopy for cyst removal so I have everything crossed for this cycle.

Good luck everyone ❤️

Islandermum · 07/07/2019 19:23

@MrsLBear ovulated on CD 16, managed to BD on CD 16, 15, 13, 12, 11. Missed two days before ovulation BD but when I write it out I realise we actually have given it a good chance this month!
@Michellebops welcome to the TWW! Seems like you've given yourself a great shot this cycle! Fingers crossed for us all.

Islandermum · 07/07/2019 19:24

@eastview I had a MC in May, sorry that you've had to go through that. Seems like we are in a very similar boat, I'm 2dpo.

Sending lots of baby dust 🧚

MrsLBear · 07/07/2019 21:31

@eastview sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Wishing you all the best this cycle!! 🤞🏼

@maria2bela I think mine was cd25 or 26. Latest it's ever been! So annoying cos it makes my cycles so long 😣

@Michellebops welcome!!! Fx cos for you!! That sounds you defo o'd thurs night or early fri. I'm not expert though!

@Islandermum oh wow you've defo covered all basis!! In for a good chance for sure. When you planning on poas?

sao811 · 07/07/2019 21:37

Hi hope to join too!
Its my OD today according to Clue, had a +OPK yesterday, had cramping and sticky discharge (sorry if tmi) which on the clue app I always seem to get around day 13/14 so guessing these are my O signals. DTD on Friday and today cycle #2. Feeling nervous as our DD was unplanned so no idea how long it took in the grand scheme of things! Would u say try again tomorrow to be safe?

Michellebops · 07/07/2019 22:11

Thank you @MrsLBear and @Islandermum

I have everything crossed for this month as I'm not going to continue ttc for much longer if it doesn't happen soon.

I'm 42 and had a mmc last year so giving myself a couple of months more x

MrsLBear · 08/07/2019 07:28

@Michellebops sorry to hear that. May I ask have you had a baby before?
How long have you been TTC for?

OP posts:
MrsLBear · 08/07/2019 07:30

@sao811 hi!! Sounds like you've covered most basis but once more wouldn't hurt if you both can. It's just when you start forcing it so much it can totally take the fun out of it.
TTC isn't a fun journey tbh so you were very lucky the first time!! Were you on any contraception or anything when you fell pg before?

OP posts:
sao811 · 08/07/2019 08:17

@MrsLBear think we will give it 1 more go tonight! As far as I'm aware we've always used protection but no contraceptive. There were a couple of times where we'd had nights out though so we think it was then and we've got caught straight away! Just hoping it is quick this time

maria2bela · 08/07/2019 08:31

@Michellebops Sorry to hear that, hopefully this month is your month too! Xx

Quick question peeps. Is it normal to dry up after ovulation? I have pretty much no cm at all, just wondering if this is a good or bad sign? Thanks

MrsLBear · 08/07/2019 12:38

@maria2bela I think it's quite common to dry up after O. Another good sign that it has happened! Cm can turn more sticky too.

OP posts:
Rosetinted47 · 08/07/2019 13:20

I'll join, though i've no idea how many DPO i am. Flo out me ovulation on Thursday, mother and baby put me ovulating Sunday. ECWM dried up by Saturday. I don't temp or do OPKs so it's all a guessing game!

Unfortunately I was ill last week, so i think everything is against us as my body probably isn't up for it, and we didn't BD much due to illness.

I think my AF is due 20th July

Michellebops · 08/07/2019 13:43

@MrsLBear yes I have an almost 4 year old.

Michellebops · 08/07/2019 13:44

@maria2bela I'm usually aware of drying up after ov day but I'm on day 3 of cm, not egg white but lots of it.

I'd be interested to know xx
