@Mumofboys17 thanks, just managed to dtd so guess I’ve tried! Not sure how long after clearblue a peak you ovulate.. guess we will see!

How many dpo are you? Xxx

@Sunflower2019 I haven’t even ovulated yet! Ovia reckons I’m approaching my FW (next week), we’ve been aiming to DTD every other night, was due tonight but decided to give it a miss (or maybe just had a little too much fun tonight instead and didn’t actually make it to the main event... 😳😂😂) and will aim for every day soon, potentially starting tomorrow 😬 depending on if I get any ovulation symptoms or a positive OPK. 🤞🏻 X

Meant to put I’m CD17 today, so expecting to go the full 35 days this cycle x

Hey ladies! Hope you all had a great xmas. I've just been catching up. This cycle has been a weird one as I am CD17 and still keep getting flashing smileys. I thought xmas day I would get a static as had lots of EWCM. But maybe I missed the static as only tested in the mornings. Also not had much chance to DTD as been in family members houses and been a bit tricky. We only DTD on CD10 and CD14 and now we are back home we plan to tonight. I think it is safe to say there isnt much chance this month and have no idea if I ovulated or of I am due to late.

Also I have drank my weight in wine and eaten so much food. Think january will have to be back to focusing on this properly.

Looks like a few of you will be testing in the next week or so. Really hope you all get BFP and have an exciting 2020 to look forward to.

I fingers crossed @Symptomspotter86 it only takes one swimmer!

Feel you on the food, I was so out of breath going up stairs last night. First thought was oooo it’s a sign, then I remembered all the cheese I ate 🤣

Hey girls how are we all?? Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!

@Sunflower2019 hey girl how are you? Did you get your peak yesterday? I had a flashing smiley today but haven't dtd, we last did it on Friday evening late! I had ewcm then but blank faces on clear blue. I've got a feeling tomorrow I will get a solid and we will just dtd tomorrow not this evening I don't think. I hope it will be enough 😕 we fly back on Tuesday so defo won't be able to do it then, might try get something Tuesday morning but I would be so lucky 😂😂

fingers crossed to everyone trying this cycle xx

Hey lovely @Ellsbells112

How are things? I’m 2dpo today 😊 we didn’t dtd on day of ovulation so I’m not sure if we have managed it.. oh well.

Doing much for New Year’s Eve? I’m off to a queen tribute, will be funny and plan on drinking as will only be 4dpo so 🤷‍♀️

Xx

@Sunflower2019 ahh that's nice 😊 I'm on an airplane new years eve back home! It's night time here but we will be getting the plane back tomorrow. I know what you mean, we will just dtd tonight and hope for the best honestly, haven't had a solid smiley yet, might get one tomorrow 😑 haha xx

I havent had a solid smiley yet either and have given up tbh. I think I just missed it as wasnt doing tests twice a day and not doing them at normal times. I think I am out this month as really not focused properly on it and been very distracted. But had a nice break. Need to get back to healthy eating, exercise and cut down on alcohol by January which will probably help things anyway.

Any one due to test in the next week?

My af Is due around 10th., I feel like I’m out too, haven’t been taking it seriously at all, January is a new month and a new start! It’s my bday in jan too!

@Ellsbells112 have a safe journey back Sweetie!

@Symptomspotter86 I’ve missed mine too, but now I test along side the cheapies when I get my flashy and I seem to catch it, this month I caught it in the afternoon a solid smiley on Boxing Day as I had forgotten to bring it with me and stayed the night over a relatives xx

@sunflower2019 yeah I think cheapies are good idea alongside as the CB smileys are so expensive and sick of the sarcastic flashing face.

2020 will be a good year for us all I can feel it

@Ellsbells112 safe journey home! Perhaps even the mile high club 😂

That’s us home from my parents so I’ll have the temptation of tests again. At the moment though, I feel absolutely nothing but only 7/8dpo. Af due from 2nd through to 6th depending on apps. Will see what the next few days bring! Got another week off then it’s back on healthy food and concentrating on TTC.

How’s everyone else?

I think I'm out too...AF due 31st/2nd depending what app I go off, but getting the familiar feeling this afternoon
Just had to talk myself out of testing as I'd said I'd test on the 31st anyway to see if I can drink over new year and DH doesn't see the point today as if I feel like AF is coming then I'll just be disappointed seeing a -ve PT.

So sat here with a cuppa waiting for AF! TBH I've got no symptoms anyway as much as I'm willing them to be there!

I've just bought a thermometer ready for testing from CD1, my friend who was TTC for a year swore by bbt so fingers crossed!

Hoping 2020 is our year ladies!! Xx

@Symptomspotter86 if you’re not this time order some opks from amazon, it’s so m tv j easier then use clearblue once they get darker xx

@MrsA2019 I hope it doesn’t come! I was bbt but stopped as I found I had to wake up the same time every morning and found it overwhelming then panicking if I woke up early or too late. I do see why it’s useful though :)

Xx

@Sunflower2019 thank you! I only have 2 FRERs as well so didn't want to waste them, couldn't find any cheapies in Asda for some reason. Yeah, I know what you mean about the bbt....I do shift work so can sometimes be very random sleep pattern so not sure it would work for me but my friend who swore by them also works shifts and she said the sleep should be 4 hours or more to temp...don't know where she got that info from but will try this month and see!

I really like bbt, I can see why it would be stressful though. I usually measure between 6am and 8pm and femometer tells me off. I find it really useful for when my opks are playing up, as it confirms it for me. I’ve seen some people using bbt just from af ending to ovulation if you don’t want to use full month,

Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas period :)

I managed to get my peak on Saturday and squeezed in DTD between driving home from my parents and then being ill with flu. I'm pleased we managed that as both OH and I have been pretty much bed bound yesterday and today. I also managed to have a bit of spotting today I assume (hope) that it's just a little ovulation spotting, but at the same time it's been 26 days since I started bleeding last month so who knows. My cycle is well and truly messed up at the moment.

I'm on cd12. I haven't had a smiley face on my cb yet but we're DTD every other day so should be covered even if I've missed it. DH will be dissappointed though he was looking forward to the daily dtd 😂
I forgot to use my conceive plus one time but time will tell if that is relevant or not 🤷
Good luck to those due to poas 🤞 for some good news all round.

@Ange211 I genuinely only ever use my pre seed in between DTD days when good old fanny burn kicks in 😬😂😂 and then a full ‘dose’ when I get a positive OPK. Just makes me feel all gross and wet all day otherwise 🤢

@Fredthespider spotting sounds interesting! Unless you normally spot before AF arrives?

@MrsA2019 I’m the same with being stingy with my FRER’s 😂😂😂 I have one in the cupboard plus a CB digital.. been saving the digital for ages (actually checked it was still in date yesterday!!) as won’t be cracking that baby open until I get a BFP on FRER 🤞🏻

@mumofboys17 back before number 1 I used to bleed all the time so I’m hoping that I’m not going back to that. Going on the progesterone only pill was what stopped it before and we got super lucky and fell pregnant first month off it. I’ve not gone back onto any contraception since so I don’t really know what’s normal anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Fredthespider I didn’t go back onto contraception after my first either! DS was 2 last month 🙈 I can’t remember what pill I was on but because of the problems it caused me TTC the first time I said I’d never go back until I was done having babies!
Bleeding all the time sounds like an absolute nightmare though. X

My dp were doing our temps tonight and mine was well over 98.5c which is high, haven’t done them in the evening and no they don’t stand for much but his were 97... oh no I’m not symptom spotting 😂😂
Anyway anyone tested theres? I’m sure temps would remain high throughout the day if pregnant, but prob over thinking as per xx

Thanks guys! 😘 Flying back tonight my time (it's 10am here) and I've got a question for anyone who knows about charting! Today I had a temperature rise and a solid smiley?? We dtd at like 4am mind you and I took my temperature at around 7.30am, that might affect it but my temperature has been super low throughout the holiday (even when really hungover) lol so my question is have I bloody missed the boat with my late sex 😂 I did also do it on Friday🙁

Bit confused about the temp rise and peak opk??

Morning ladies x how are we all?
@Ellsbells112 safe travels home x
I’m 9DPO today. My boobs look huge and are so hard :( it feels like carrying stones 😂 had some
very mild cramping yesterday and few electric shock like sensations above my hips 😂 other than that for whatever reason I woke up in a puddle of my saliva 😂 sorry if tmi, I found it hilarious 😂😂

@Ellsbells112 my temp sometimes rises on the day of my peak, then it drops the next day when I ovulate. Have a fun flight!

@Sunflower2019 I’ve only done temps in morning, but I know temps should stay high if pregnant- probably through the day? Who knows with our complicated bodies!

@katie1109 that all sounds really promising, not sure about the drool 😂😂

8dpo here and feeling nothing, just a few af signs and full of cold. Had a really vivid af dream last night too. Just hoping for my luteal phase to be longer this cycle.

Everyone excited for Hogmanay? We’re planning on a night in with party food and video games. Not really party people 🤣
