In our 30's and TTC- baby dust

[babyG123]

Anyone fancy joining this bus?

1dpo and due on 8th

So app says today is ovulation day so I bought a clear blue ovulation test when I was in super market and it said negative but when I pulled the thing out there's a little line now I'm worried I've missed it and me and other half haven't quite been putting in the effort so the digital part has a circle meaning negative then when you pull the actual test bit out there's two lines one is more faint I tried to attach a picture but won't let me

Is the line the same colour as the one next to it @Anastacia1? If not then you haven't reached your peak yet. Do the test again tomorrow and see then. Still dtd tonight so that you're covered. What app are you using? Not all of them are spot on. They're only as good as the data you give it. Keep us posted for tomorrow!

@notyetamumbuttrying it wasn't as dark as other line first time using one wasn't going to bother but I seen them and thought why not ... I've got about 5 apps on the go two are saying today is ovulation two day tomorrow and one is saying the 9th

@notyetamumbuttrying

Ok so you use the same ones as me. You've not hit peak yet @Anastacia1 you'll get a smiley face when you do. Try it again tomorrow morning and do it every morning until you see the smiley face!

@notyetamumbuttrying now I'm thinking I've missed ovulation got another negative today wow it's all so confusing going to keep testing over the next week x

@Anastacia1 which day in your cycle are you?

@Fran2020 I'm on day 15

@Anastacia1 what day did you start testing as it can vary so much?

I only started yesterday because I seen them in supermarket I was originally just using my apps but because they had all said different days I thought I'd try this

@Anastacia1 I tested for the first time last month and got the peak on day 11. But some people get them much later to like day 19 or so!

Oh really my period is pretty regular although last month it came two days early the day after I got a faint positive all my free apps tell me yesterday and today are ovulation days but I've also been using natural cycles which says next Monday is my ovulation day which would also be day 19 ... it's so confusing

Yeah definitely is confusing. As we have almost been TTC for a year, I bought the clear blue advanced fertility monitor last month. It made me start testing from CD6 to work out when I ovulate.

@fran2020 oh fingers crossed it works for
you this month ... I never realised it was so difficult with timings and such

@Anastacia1 thank you! I know, neither did I! Fingers crossed for you too 😊

Thanks everyone

I had a word with DH - asked him if he still wanted to TTC. He said he does, and we’ve agreed to a few steps to stop him feeling like a ‘tap’ and to try and make sure we are trying at the right time.

I’m almost treating this month as a break, as there’s very little chance we caught. He’s promised to try harder next month.

You know what, I think TTC whilst working from home continually and not going out hasn’t helped things. It makes us feel stuck in a rut, we’ve both been a bit lazy and he’s occupying himself with video games whilst not working because there is not much else to do. He was pretty concerned with the virus and wasn’t even taking a walk once a day - so we’ve been pretty much cocooned in two rooms for weeks and it’s sort of taken the spark out of almost everything being in the same environment constantly.

I’m definitely in the 2WW now - so waiting for this cycle to be over before we tackle it again next month.

@lauralozzle glad you had a chat about it and agreed some steps! That's fab xx

@notyetamumbuttrying sorry it took me so long to come back! I have an 18 month old DD, she's the best. It's actually my first time TTC because she wasn't planned. Olly just say that I had to buy a second wedding dress and leave it at that!
My boobs have been sore fora couple of days so I went ahead and POS... It was a FBN of course!
How are you all doing? I'm currently 8 or 9 DPO but I'm pretty sure I'm out this month

I really shouldn't try to write with a toddler hitting me with a book on the head. I can spell, promise

Haha bless ya @MrsLully I'm also 8dpo and can feel my af symptoms already so that's me out. No point even trying to kid myself as I know my body. Although it'll be interesting to see if this is how I feel when I do eventually get my bfp...

Hi how is everyone doing ? So another ovulation question sorry 🙈... so app told me I was ovulating on the 3rd natural cycles tells me I'm ovulating on the 8th ... got the clear blue ovulation test on the 3rd when I was in shops just to see what it says did the test when I got home was negative been testing everyday since and the line is getting fainter ... so question is could I have ovulated earlier ? I've been tracking temp as well and it shows a slight dip around day 12 il attach pics sorry if I'm just repeating myself also I'm starting to get really tender boobs the last two days which is what happened last month when I think I had a chemical ... I had a faint positive then period came two days early x

@Anastacia1 oh it’s difficult to tell, there is a dip CD 12 and a rise but it doesn’t look as pronounced as mine. I can find that 1-2 days before my LH surge my tests get lighter and then boom - they end up SUPER dark. But my temps fluctuate a lot before ovulation. I’ll try and post my chart.

Here’s my chart - blue is temperature and orange is RHR

Hi everyone hope you are all well! Just to update you all, still no sign of AF, symptoms of pregnancy are being horrific but still not had a BFP 😥 drs have finally agreed to give me a blood test on Monday when I would be 8 weeks! I am extremely nervous as if its negative I'm clearly very ill! Xx

@Rma13 was wondering how you were doing. So glad you're getting a blood test! Hope it shows what you want! Best of luck 🍀
