@Danni2019 CB digital are different to the green strips as they detect oestrogen as well as LH so technically supposed to be more accurate in detecting FW. I'd start DTD every day from today if I were you if the digital had a static smiley? Xxx

@Beau20 these are this mornings OPKs (just done them now) and femometer readings from this week. CB still has flashing smiley 🙄 I'm CD21 today xx

Morning ladies x sorry I see you having issues with OPKs, I think I’d DTD every other day to be covered just in case x I’m CD9 today so ovulation probably beginning of next week, but I’m not doing opks so I don’t really care. I can definitely see more CM this cycle, it’s my 2nd cycle on primrose and I take 3000mg so 3 capsules a day x so let’s see if I get any EWCM x fingers crossed for all of you x

@Katie1109 Morning lovely x
Yeah we've been DTD every other day, no idea when or if ovulation will actually happen for me this month so just going to keep going and testing for now.. we'll see. Already have that 'I'm out' feeling!! 🙁

That's the other thing I meant to mention, I've had ZERO cm!! Had a little yellow blob yesterday early afternoon but nothing else at all 😕 so weird x

Ok... I take that back 😬 wtf is going on! At least it's darker now!!! 🙌🏻🤞🏻

(I really do belong in the TTC crazies) 😂😂

@Mumofboys17 woohoooo that looks positive to me!! Yours must be like all my previous cycles - nothing and then BAM a blazing positive in a matter of hours.

@Danni2019 nooo you are using the LH only CB digital ones, they don't detect estrogen that's the other CB one where you have flashing and smiley face (purple test). The pink one detects when you start to surge whereas the strips test the actual surge. So it's very likely you will get a solid smiley just before you get a positive strip one. If that makes sense? Also, don't look at the test stick lines that go in the CB reader, they are nothing like what a strip test should look like.

@Mumofboys17 I've hardly had ANY EWCM either... I had one day of loads, one day of a little and now nothing

@Beau20 ohhhhhh I assumed @Danni2019 was using the same CB as me (I used the purple one) 🤦🏼‍♀️ sorry for any confusion!! X

Femometer is still only reading that as high and in the 40's.. plus CB is still flashing not static yet. Now I'm in that awkward situation again of do I DTD tonight again or not? We DTD last night.. this is where I start to get it wrong 😬 arrghhh!!

@Beau20 @Mumofboys17 thanks for advice yes it is the pink digital one as the purple one I used to get annoyed at as would start flashing ages before the static smiley so
preferred either smiley or no smiley. I see what you mean @Beau20 so probably would get the positive strip tonight or tomorrow morning. At least I know I am at the start of the surge so I guess the strip will tell me when the surge is over and ovulation begins if I keep testing until it goes negative again after a positive? I have never used the strips only digital but saw everyone using here so thought I would try too. Definitely in the right group as feel like I'm going crazy this month! X

@Danni2019 I think it's good to use both! Keep testing on the strip ones until you get totally negative then you know you've deffo caught it. I'm confused as my easy @ home ones still have a very clear 2nd line BUT the Ovaview ones have absolutely nothing? Like Stark white negative. Why oh why did I switch brands.

@Beau20 could the ones with a negative just be a bad batch or not work. Perhaps there is some reviews of them online with others that have used them to see if they worked for others? Will keep testing and then like you say will know for sure. Fingers crossed for this month being the one for all of us 🤞x

@Danni2019 I don't think so, they were a batch of 50 (I've used them all now) and they worked amazingly for the last 3 months for me, really strong positives. I started using these Easy@Home ones and my ovulation date seems to have jumped forward 4 days and now I'm thinking maybe it hasn't and these new tests are just weird. Sooo annoying!! I'm 1-2dpo and I've not had a temp spike yet so maybe I haven't ovulated yet...

@Mumofboys17 I think you’ll get your peak tomorrow x but if you get it this afternoon/evening then DTD, failing that have a night off and then try DTD peak and 2 days after x

@Katie1109 thanks xx I'll test again tonight on both CB and an IC and will see 😬 this is the point where I get a bit panicky! X

Just checking in with you all. OPKs seem to be going crazy for everyone over last few days! I'm CD 2 so out of whack with most of you I think!

@WaitingOnThePositive I know it seems a few of us are in that stage 🙈🙈 1DPO for me today! I think there are others who are only early in their cycle.

Anyone else in the TWW??

2DPO 🙋🏻‍♀️

Hey girlie's good luck to you all in the 2ww xxx

@WaitingOnThePositive I'm CD2 as well... But my cycles have been loooooong (44 days for the last two) so I don't think we'll stay in sync for long. I've been ovulating somewhere between CD28 and 32...long wait until my FW!

CD7.... This TTC business sucks!

@LV1987 that is long. I had one or 2 of those but generally associated with travelling or particularly busy periods at work.
Good luck to all those in TWW.

@Missgoldilocks thank you. I'm 7 DPO today although not getting too excited about this month.

Eek - good luck @Mumofboys17 😍😍😍

@Beau20 I'm 7dpo. Attached my graph so you can see my bbt spike.
