Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

@Mumofboys17 it means ovulation is on the way, but there's no set time in which it'll happen; however most women find they'll get peak in the next 4 days so get busy! We DTD every other day up to peak and then the day of peak and the day after when we got pregnant with number 1. I think I had something like 6 days of flashing that time around.

Number of High Fertility days before Peak Fertility
0-4 - 66%
5-9 - 25%
10 - 1%
No Peak Fertility detected after High Fertility - 8%

@Ange211 I don't use Ovia, what date is it predicting ovulation?

@Symptomspotter86 sorry to hear about the rollercoaster you've just been on. Maybe hold off until Tuesday before testing again? x

Mumofboys17 · 02/02/2020 09:40

@Fredthespider thank you!!

Just went to throw my OPK's in the bin and the green IC looks a lot darker now! 😬 wasn't expecting that!
Typical we have to DTD now I'm full of cold and feel so shitty 😩😂😂 needs must! Probs gonna be a case of lying back and thinking of England this week. (Who said romance was dead?!) X

@Mumofboys17 of yes, TTC DTD is never the most romantic is it! Good luck and remember that you can use the CB ones twice a day once you hit high fertility. This month I had a flashing in the morning, then got a load of EWCM during the day and in the evening I got a peak x

Ellsbells112 · 02/02/2020 10:00

As @Fredthespider said @Mumofboys17 I had 3 days of flashing, then on the third day around 3pm I had loads of ovulation pain so I tested again at 5pm and I had my solid smiley face, so testing twice a day is a good idea xx

@Symptomspotter86 oh god I'm so sorry xx hopefully the girls are right and you get a bfp in the evening??

Mumofboys17 · 02/02/2020 10:03

@Fredthespider @Ellsbells112 thanks girls really helpful xx

I've had LOADS of cvm this morning, not sure it's egg white consistency like I normally get but definitely a lot more wet downstairs than usual 🤭😂😂 I'll be using pre seed all this week as well, didn't bother last month and I reckon it does help as managed to conceive with it last time!!!
Why does it have to be such a military operation 😂😂 poor DH must have blue balls by now but I've made him wait the last few days. He actually looked well happy this morning when I said about my OPK's 😂😂

Symptomspotter86 · 02/02/2020 10:17

Thanks girls. I have no FRER left anyway so can't test today. Will have to be Tuesday anyway when I have more arriving and af due then. So annoyed and upset today.

@Mumofboys17 I always get about 4 days of flashing smileys before my static smiley but others just have 1 day. So definitely get DTD. The IC always take a while to get darker but only really pay attention to them when they are near the same colour as the control line.

Beau2020x · 02/02/2020 10:49

Hey girls! Omg there is so much to catch up on!!!

@katie1109 how are you doing lovely?

@Symptomspotter86 your line looks promising the other day and I'm gutted it was a BFN after :( I'm keeping my finger crossed for Tuesday testing

Well our weekend got a bit out of hand!! Probably had one of the best nights out I've ever had with OH on Friday. We danced all night long! Came home and somehow a family gathering turned into a wild house party. Our house is trashed. 2 bottles of tequila, a bottle of vodka, 5 bottles of Prosecco, 2 bottles of JD honey, 7 bottles of wine and god knows how many cans. What the actual fuck. Came down and the dog had 2 tubs of now emptied cheese and chive dip, 5 cupcake wrappers, a can of Stella AND A BOX OF TAMPONS in his bed. It's like something out of the hangover here.

Symptomspotter86 · 02/02/2020 10:57

@Beau2020x omg that's hilarious. I love nights like that! The tampons in the dogs bed though - hilarious.

I might go out to the pharmacy today to get some more tests. But probably just adding to my torture!

Mumofboys17 · 02/02/2020 11:14

@Beau2020x omg that's bloody hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂 sounds like you had a wicked weekend!! X

Beau2020x · 02/02/2020 11:51

Honestly don't even know where the tampons came from because I don't use them 😂😂 someone clearly brought a box of tampons to the party.

@Symptomspotter86 I know it's hard, but if you can try and hold out testing as long as possible. At least when you next test on say Tuesday, you know the outcome for definite

Symptomspotter86 · 02/02/2020 11:57

@Beau2020x yes you are right! Hard as today I have nothing planned but a lazy day so more time to contemplate. At least tomorrow I will have work.

I have cramps in my left hand side again like the other day. So weird and not like AF.

Ellsbells112 · 02/02/2020 12:40

@Symptomspotter86 let's hope you get a different result in a few days then! Everything crossed for you x

@Beau2020x that sounds like a really good weekend 😂

I'm 7dpo today and feel and feel absolutely nothing 🙄 convinced myself I'm out because I'm so sensitive at the moment that if something was happening then I'd feel it!! Lol 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️gonna take my son to the cinema today. I'm getting really fed up with OH atm, the weekends is just gym and more gym and I don't think it's fair. We hardly do anything activity wise as a family and he isn't the type to suggest things but when I do suggest things he declines most of the time. I dunno, he's not a bad guy lol(obviously) but he's really hard to live with sometimes. I'm just sounding off right now 🙄🙄🙄 just bloody blurghhhhh but I'll be fine once I take little man cinema! Spies in disguise it is!!

Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday x

@fredthespider it doesn't predict ovulation just your fertile window.

Symptomspotter86 · 02/02/2020 12:49

@ellsbells112 I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling down. It is so frustrating when men are like that. I used to have the same argument with my OH a few years ago when he just used to stay indoors all weekend watching sport and never made the most of a nice weekend. He has got better and we have a balance between the both now. However I dont have any kids so it would make me even more angry if he was like that when I had a son and he wasnt making the effort. Hopefully he will understand if you speak to him. Enjoy the cinema 😊

Ange211 · 02/02/2020 12:59

@ellsbells112 enjoy the cinema. Ds1 saw that with his gran and said it was really funny. My ds2 wants to see Paw Patrol the movie so that'll be our next cinema outing unfortunately lol.

Quiffy · 02/02/2020 13:18

@Symptomspotter86 sorry about bfn this morning :( the cramps are definitely promising. Im still getting them, a kind of warm and tingly cramp not like AF. I've seen others on threads where morning gets neg then positive in afternoon. Really hope you get that bfp on Tuesday ❤️

@Ellsbells112 that's rubbish, a family cinema trip is a great weekend thing to do, not gym. Have a fab time at the cinema the two of you instead!

@Beau2020x that is hilarious! Bringing tampons to a party is a new one 😹😹

@Mumofboys17 lie back and think of England hahahaha have fun!

Symptomspotter86 · 02/02/2020 13:23

@quiffy thank you! Do your boobs hurt at all? Mine dont in the slightest. The cramps are not like normal AF cramps like you say, and seem to be travelling down my leg and in my back a bit. Are yours on one side?

Ellsbells112 · 02/02/2020 13:24

@ange211 @Symptomspotter86 @Quiffy thanks girls, we will definitely have a fab time! Then I'll be making a lovely roast lamb 😜 diet completely out the window for gods sake lol I made pancakes and all sorts on Friday haha

Katie1109 · 02/02/2020 13:27

Still no af here ladies x 2 days late now. No bleeding or spotting at all. I feel fine. No cramps etc x I’m still not testing, I’ll leave testing till probably mid week if af doesn’t arrive. The only time I had cycle that long was when I did get pregnant but had MC x
@Symptomspotter86 congrats I can see a line there xx 🍾

Symptomspotter86 · 02/02/2020 13:50

@katie1109 well done for holding out on testing. I'm not hopeful on mine at all as BFN this morning. Hope you get your BFP midweek. As long as AF stays away you are in with a chance xx

@Ellsbells112 I have thrown diet out the window this weekend too!

Mumofboys17 · 02/02/2020 14:48

@Katie1109 well done for not testing! Hopefully AF not arriving is a good sign!! I saw an interesting thread the other day that made me think of you, someone had compared their FRER's and IC's from 9dpo, it wasn't until about 14dpo that their IC had a definite pink line on it, so could just be it was too early when you tested? 🤞🏻 xx

Symptomspotter86 · 02/02/2020 15:06

@Mumofboys17 I saw that post too! It was interesting. @Katie1109 I think definitely do a FRER in a couple of days.

This was my IC from this morning that I did the same time I got my BFN on my FRER. It could be a shadow/indent but after seeing the same post as you @mumofboys17 it has given me hope, especially after my BFP yesterday.

New thread for the crazy gang part 2!
Mumofboys17 · 02/02/2020 15:09

@Symptomspotter86 ummm.. not being funny, but when you get an indent/evap on those they're normally thin and don't have colour...
That looks pink to me babe!!! 🤭💗🤞🏻

48 hrs then try again with a FRER xx

Katie1109 · 02/02/2020 15:16

@Symptomspotter86 how many dpo are you? x your line was quite good on the other test! x hopefully af will stay away for you.
I’m 14DPO today and 2 days late for af. Ovia is screaming at me to take a test but to avoid disappointment I’m going to hold off as long as I can. Last time I MCd on CD 36 x
I’m feeling ok. A bit tired and boobs still sore but other than that all good x
