December bus - testing first week of december

[ceebee21]

Hi all,

AF arrived today so thought I would start a new thread....feel free to join.

First cycle since MMC and ERPC on 1st October, following BFP straight after implant removal.

Bit odd for me, first proper AF in a few years.

Hoping this is the month!

I’m now CD8 and giving SMEP a go this time, so started testing with CB ops today and will be DTD from tonight - snap, @timswifey! Interested to see how the timings work out this cycle compared to last, as it’s only second one after coming off pill.

@AliSxo agree that’s it’s the few days before and the day of ovulation that are the best chance, but worth trying one to two days after too. SMEP says 3 days in a row from when the peak is detected

[ceebee21]

I'm CD10 now, started using my CB digital yesterday and had my static smiley obviously.

Really hoping I get the static this weekend.. x

[LoveRainbow02]

Few of us getting close to ovulation day now. I started dtd on Saturday and will continue for the next few days as I am sure ovulation is going to happen soon. Had a big amount of ewcm in my underwear this morning so cant be far off. Cd12 for me now 😊

[ceebee21]

then the dreaded TWW - does it seem the first two weeks go far quicker?!?!

x

[AliSxo]

@ceebee21 first two weeks fly by ... TWW feels like a month in itself!! Xx

[LoveRainbow02]

Yes the tww crawls by every time!! Hoping I dont go all crazy in the tww like before and drive myself mad with symptom spotting

[whatsthecraic91]

Started SMEP last night, starting my CB OPKs in the morning that will be CD10, fingers crossed for everyone this month, would be lovely for Christmas 🎄😍

The TWW DRAGS & the symptom spotting!!! Hateful

[SallyCinnamon3009]

How's everyone feeling? I've managed to stay away from the apps and the OPKs this month and I'm defo feeling better for it and less stressed out about everything-obviously this may change in the last couple of weeks of the month

[AliSxo]

Hey I'm starting the clear blue OPKS as of Wednesday when I'll be CD7 x first month trying them.... expensive hope they're worth it!! Last cycle I got the SOREST boobs at CD8/9 so that's not something I can symptom spot... they did go down back to normal at CD11/12 so hoping they stay sore 😂😂 xxx

[MrsTwentySeven]

Started CB OPKs
Circle ⭕️ only ...
CD11
Why am I so impatient...cannot wait for early December already ?!

[ceebee21]

Tested CB again today CD10 and got flashing smiley! Fingers crossed I OV at end of this week.

[AliSxo]

Hey @ceebee21 that's great! It'll be my first
Month using them I'm starting on Wednesday on CD7 and I'm due to Ov next Tuesday according to Flo xxx

[whatsthecraic91]

@MrsTwentySeven sames ⭕️ CD10!

[ceebee21]

I am very impatient as well... last month I had 10 days of flashing smileys!!!

Really hope that doesn't happen this month... I am putting it down to being straight after my MMC as the reason!

[MrsTwentySeven]

@whatsthecraic91 ⭕️ Again for me today 😭 CD12 now....

@ceebee21 oh I hope that doesn’t happen! So frustrating!

My clue app tells me my “fertile window” begins tomorrow so hoping OPK confirms this 😕

[LoveRainbow02]

Do you ladies ovulate on the same CD every month? I have 2 apps that I use to track. 1 is telling me ovulation in 2 days and the other is saying I'm not in the fertile window for another 4 days 🤷‍♀️. I've had ewcm for 2 days now and think I may ovulate later today as my test is pretty dark today and suspect the next test tonight with confirm. I'm so nervous but excited this month

[Nic555]

@loverainbow02 I tend to ovulate different days. Ive only been off the pill since June. Earliest I ovulated was day 16 month before was day 21.

Im not sure when to start my sticks. Don't want too many blank faces. I might wait till I notice more CF and just make sure I DTD every other day. I'm cycle day 9 today. So might start day 12 if I can hold off that long

@MrsTwentySeven I'd trust the sticks not the App. I've heard the app been completely wrong for some people and been the reason they havent maybe got pregnant cos they were timing it wrong. I update my app with results of my OPKs so it amends the FW xx

[Jh2019]

With you on the blank circle today @MrsTwentySeven and @whatsthecraic91! Only CD9 though, just want to make sure I don't miss it...got the first flashing smiley on CD12 last time.

@ceebee21 glad you got your flashing smiley! Hope it turns into a static soon for you this time

[MrsTwentySeven]

@Nic555 you’re right - I’ll focus on the OPKs!

@Jh2019 hope you get one again at CD12!

I don’t even know when I ovulate as this is my attempt #1 🙈 Hoping it’s around CD18 ...
We are delaying DTD in fear of a burn out by then so waiting till that flashing smiley face >>😄

[ceebee21]

Another flashing smiley today...praying I don’t have 10 again. But I feel positive that my static will be this week xx

[AliSxo]

Hey @ceebee21 hoping you get the static tomorrow!! It's expensive too!! Have you brought a 20 pack? Xx

[MrsTwentySeven]

@ceebee21 ⭕️ Again for me on CD13 !

[Nic555]

I'm cycle day 10. Not started my clear blue yet. I don't want loads of blank or flashy faces. I might start Friday although right now I don't feel like ovulation is close. I thought I'd just try SMEP and then I've covered all bases but I don't think DH will cope with all that pressure so decided to just DTD when we are in the mood for it instead and try and forget about ovulation until I get a flashy. It's so difficult though. X

[whatsthecraic91]

Flashing smiley this morning CD 11! Only one ⭕️ this cycle so maybe I will ovulate early this month instead of CD17/18. Trying seven seas conception vitamins again so maybe they’ve sorted things out.

Our SMEP is out the window already, we weren't feeling it last night and I got a bit upset over it, then DP huffed with me and we went to sleep with our backs to each other. Feeling a bit down today about it, this TTC business is so much pressure isn’t it? 😓

[HalfPenny28]
