Evening! I need some advise if possible please ladies!
I was expecting ovulation this weekend and the OPKs suggest the same (pic attached) except I have no EWCM. Does this mean I haven't ovulated yet or that I have but haven't had the CM go with it?! Confused!!!

@mellymoo86 I bled a few days after my bfp so it would have been about 5 weeks pregnant then I think I had my period at about 35ish days after that and then it settled into a regular 28 day cycle again. It was 10 years ago now. It was a period like bleed.

mellymoo86 · 01/12/2019 22:32

@PandaPink Ah ok. Similar to me then. Looking forward to my next fertile window now. Hurry up and come!

@FutureMrsSmith I don't normally have EWCM. My CM changes throughout the cycle but it's not exactly how it's supposed to be at certain times. As long as the opks give you a good indicator and you're used to ovulating at a certain time every month I would go by that.

@AliSxo these tests arent the best, it's confusing when you can see a faded line even before starting the test. Have you tried a FRER?

nt1992 · 02/12/2019 00:17

@AliSxo defo wouldn't trust these tests try a different brand or what a few more days 😘

FutureMrsSmith · 02/12/2019 08:09

Thanks guys!
Iv had no signs of ovulation so I'll just DTD for another week or so (every other day) and hope if it's happened Iv caught it. If it hasn't happened then onto cycle 2.

Mum2boyss · 02/12/2019 08:13

I'm so confused with these? Mine don't look as dark as ones posted? But the lines are as dark as each other? Are they dark enough to be positive? I've had cramps for about 5/6days now I think? Sorry I'm pretty new to using these xx

Good morning ladies!
Sorry I've been queit all weekend, just back from the best weekend in Amsterdam. Didnt bring the OPKs and just had proper time away from TTC and work etc. It was amazing!
Back late last night singing to POAS today as my apps are I'm ovulating shortly.

Hiw is everyone? Sorry to hear @mellymoo86, I've read bits of the thread this weekend. Glad you're finding the positive in it though. xx

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 10:19

@CiaraJ01 Yay glad you had a lovely time!! I love Dam. 😊 You better get started on your baby dancing today!

And yeah I'm positive now, no more bleeding so waiting for ovulation to kick in.

CiaraJ01 · 02/12/2019 10:29

@mellymoo86 it was amazing! Such a beautiful city. Told my OH we have to go back together.
I've just took a test and it keeps coming up as negative/0. Any ideas?
Least you've another chance this year xx

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 10:53

@CiaraJ01 what tests are you taking? I'm assuming you should be getting stronger lines now?

CiaraJ01 · 02/12/2019 10:55

The pre mom ones?

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 11:15

@CiaraJ01 that looks low, have you used any cb tests to confirm? If this isn't normal for you maybe you ovulated a little earlier or might even be a little later. Do you normally get ovulation cramps?

CiaraJ01 · 02/12/2019 12:00

@mellymoo86 I've no idea 😂 I don't normally notice? so just going ny the app. It was still zero before I left so unless it was super quick peak on Satirday it might be lage, I'm just going by the Glow app. Might just DTD the rest of this week to be safe 🤞

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 12:22

@CiaraJ01 Yeah. You know your cycle best so hopefully it's due this week 🤞🏽

FutureMrsSmith · 02/12/2019 13:45

@CiaraJ01 what were your OPKs like last month?

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 14:23

Btw these are my opks this cycle so far. Another reason I did a pregnancy test because they were reading high wayyy to early. Now I know it's because I had the pregnancy hormone so it was picking that up.

Afternoon ladies! I'm still here. Had a break from my phone for the weekend and was super busy doing floristry things.
How are you all doing?

Sorry to hear your news @mellymoo86 but like me, at least we know everything is working!

Sending love to you all xx

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 14:48

@Louu99 I was wondering where you got to. Glad you kept yourself busy over the weekend. 🤗 Yeah exactly, that's reassuring at least. Are you trying this month?

Louu99 · 02/12/2019 14:56

@mellymoo86 I'm not sure. I'm having a bit of a tough time at the minute. I'm thinking of dropping out of my MA and going back to my old sciencey field job.
I'm craving the stability and regular income, and I'd be in a better position to have a baby. It's never that straight forward though so I can't jump ship just yet, even though I'm not interested and very unhappy 🤷🏼‍♀️

Life is full of ups and downs hey! X

Louu99 · 02/12/2019 14:57

@nt1992 how're you doing lovely? Xx

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 15:00

@Louu99 Ah yes you did mention that. Life really is full of ups and downs. Do what feels right with the support of your OH. That's all we can do

Louu99 · 02/12/2019 15:04

I'm afraid to have sex now lol we haven't done it in ages. It's probably sensible to put it off for a while xx

mellymoo86 · 02/12/2019 15:10

@Louu99 why are you scared?

Louu99 · 02/12/2019 15:15

The anticipation and anxiety of waiting to find out if I am pregnant, and the possibility of losing it again.

I know that's absolutely crazy x
