End of November, jump on board!

[Skygirl1983]

Moving on from the October threads, join in those that will be testing at the end of November. (Which also happens to be my birthday!)

Sorry see both pics x

@CiaraJ01 the test line is darker than the control line so that would suggest peak to me!
You should test twice a day to capture peak in your FW. Perhaps you ovulate earlier than you think? I don't think CD10 is impossible!!

This is from their website!

How can I be a 3. something 😂😂😂

My numbers were pretty low in comparison. I think you should almost ignore the numbers in this case and look at the darkness in the line which clearly shows a peak?!

Day10 ovulation is pretty common for me, so this may be the case for you too.

@CiaraJ01 Like @FutureMrsSmith said, your test line is definitely darker than the other line! I try not to focus on the numbers, as long as they're going up and then back down once the line fades. I'm not entirely sure what the numbers even mean! I've posted the same test in different lighting and it's given it different scores, so just go by eye and log it so you know what's going on day by day!
Not very scientific I know haha sorry! Xx

@Ellsbells112 I knew someone had sent a long message, I couldn't find it for ages! Been swamped today and only now getting chance to get back to everything, so I'm sorry for the late reply!

I know what you mean, and lots of people have said similar things in the past. I just get frustrated sometimes when people accidentally get pregnant, without tracking anything or even knowing what's going on. I don't want to come across as petty or jealous, but do you know what I mean?

I'm almost 32 but have been watching teen mom young and pregnant, the uk one (don't judge me) and they're like "oh it just happened one time" and end up with twins! Haha which is great, but I'm sitting there like "whyyyy not me!" 😂 I feel ridiculous for even saying that lol x

@Louu99 yes yes and yes!! I totally get what you mean especially now that I feel like I'm not going to get pregnant!! Now I find myself looking at certain people that arent in the greatest position per se and they're just popping them out!? 😭😒 so I get you, I never thought I'd think like that it never crossed my mind but now I see from the other side too! X

@Louu99 no judgement here - I bloody love that show 😂

@Ellsbells112 I'm glad it's not just me haha I feel so judgemental doing it, but I'm so desperate and ready, it just seems cruel that it's not happening immediately! Everyone has a story I guess, and maybe they tried for a few months but I can't help but think they didn't and are just super fertile!
And then I always think, "were they taking folic acid?" Haha it seems so important but I bet they weren't!! X

@stepmumma91 haha I'm glad! My other half hates it (but secretly watches it with me when he's on the laptop)

What do you think of Laura and Morgan? And the young blonde one, Charlie is it? X

@Louu99 I know! It's crazy how it works sometimes. Dont worry I think it's natural to feel like that ❤ I hope you get a bfp soon xx

I used to watch that show lol the American one, god, a good 8 years ago now when my son was just a new born, and one born every minute x

@Louu99 haha, my hubby is exactly the same.

I think Morgan has some issues, poor Laura! Also think Charlie is a bit of a meanie! Did you watch last weeks when her boyfriend had a little cry because he thought he hurt their baby? That got me 😂 What do you think of them?

Women after my own heart!
I watched teen mom from the beginning and it's still going now - and I still watch it 😂 and have been watching the UK version too. Morgan needs some sort of counselling there are some issues there definitely. Her wife should be allowed to go out without her there and if she is running late it shouldn't be a problem. Charlie is awful to Bret.... but I guess she reminds me of a younger version of myself (her stubborn nature). She's clearly just scared and doesn't know how to communicate her feelings properly! I agree, they definitely didn't try for months 😂
A girl I went to school with has 6 kids now (at 28!), she's never worked, I always think Iv worked so hard (studied for 8 years to become an accountant) and if it doesn't happen for me I'll be really upset! I knew I wanted to be a mum from the age of 12 when my baby brother was born. Iv just tried hard to wait until I'm more stable and Iv done the house up. That's not how everyone does it obviously, my sister is younger and has 2 gorgeous girls (who are my absolute world!) and she was only with OH 6 months, both accidents! 😂 and she's the most amazing mum!

Good morning! @Louu99 I know how you feel! My younger brother and his girlfriend just announced their second unplanned pregnancy last week and while I was super excited for a new niece or nephew I was a smidge disappointed- more so cause I'd love to have them at the same time.. but then felt guilty for not being purely happy for them! They just seem to find it so easy!!

And I love teen mom!! 😂 I was addicted to the American one @Ellsbells112 from years ago too!

@FutureMrsSmith me too!! I've wanted them since I was 14 (probably when teen mom started 😂😂) but waited until I was settled and had got where I needed career wise - I'll be super pissed if I tried to avoid accidents all these years, for it then not to happen!!
I really need to start watching this UK one 🤔

@ciaraj01 yeah I need to watch the uk one too!! I saw the adverts for it when it first started a while back but never got round to it lol teen mom is always good! Dramaaaa

Bless you all though ❤ my sister is 32 and is finally trying. She kept making excuses like waiting for her friends wedding at the end of the year etc..I had to tell her stop it!! It could take a while so you bloody start now! That was a year ago and she still isnt pregnant bless her. I hope we get preggers together even if she is all the way over in australia lol

I love teen mom too I think Charlie's got some growing up to do, that poor Bret makes me feel so sad! Not sure I could be putting up with Morgan either, she's very jealous... so odd to be jealous of someone's mum though! Not like Laura is going out all night with her mates!

Did another opk today, and it's 1.14, I know numbers are not that accurate but for the first time the line is darker than the test line so today is definitely my peak! And not Sunday as I first thought. It's annoying that it keeps getting later because it's making it longer until I can test but I'm just relieved I am actually peaking and seeing a positive ovulation result. Might still try and do an early test the weekend of the 16th but think I'm probably having to wait until the 19th now to test. Will hopefully hear some good news from some of you before it's my turn!

Have a good day all!

I can manage a full reply a bit later on this evening but I think I'm out 🙁
I seem to just have period type pains, like a pulling/dragging in my lower abdomen, and sorry if this is TMI but A LOT of CM, like, it's very wet down there!

My apps say I'm 5dpo but I'm not entirely sure that's accurate because my ovulation tests have always been relatively light?

My period isn't due until the 17th so who knows but I'm not feeling positive anymore 🙁 is this normal? Xx

@Louu99 I don't know, we are all so very different. I don't feel hopeful either, perhaps out of fear that it will be the same result as the last few months. 🥺 the 2ww is torture from beginning to end! I felt my cervix while ovulating I couldnt even feel it it was so high and soft, today it's back down low and hard. Made me really feel crap but then I researched and it said every woman is different and it could rise weeks into pregnancy. It's a shit waiting game hun sorry I'm not much help! I'm about 3dpo I think, slightly crampy and very bloated but I'm sure it's the same feeling every month 😓 x

@Louu99 could this not be ovulation but a little later than you had expected? The period symptoms are pretty similar and I had pulling aches and pinches on Saturday once I had thought ovulation had finished, only to get my peak today.

The CM sounds like an ovulation symptom too?

Keep opk testing you might just be a little later ovulating?

Hi ladies. Can I hop on please. Cycle 1 TTC #2. AF due 20th.
Anyone else still waiting for a positive opk??? Currently on CD14 and 1st time we TTC I ovulated on CD15 and would have had my positive by now. Only our first month TTC #2 but I'm still stressing 🙈

@Balbaby maybe, but after my strips and app had said I'd ovulated (Halloween) I kept testing with the strips and it went down to nothing. So could I have two peaks?

If you're right and I am indeed ovulating later, then I'm definitely out as my other half is in Africa with work 😂 x

@Ellsbells112 I couldn't even feel my cervix last night 😂 maybe I should just relax a bit and go with the flow, see what happens! This symptom spotting and agonising over if it's a symptom of implanting/ovulating/AF is an absolute nightmare! So I definitely feel your pain xx
