Not sure how often OP goes on!!! Eeeek so thought I'd start a new one as running out of space. Hope that's ok....

Congratulations @myhappystreak!

Guys sorry to be Debbie downer again lol but I’m so convinced my period is due...not sure how to think of anything else.

My boobs are still so achey. And cramps are constant. Just wondering if I’m CD22 and AF due 15th May according to my app. But that was because I was 5 days late last month. My symptoms started a lot earlier than usual this month for periods. But would it be because it’s still getting ready for my usual period days which is like 10th of the month usually but just screwed up cos of last month.

@babyG123 wow that’s a lot of dtd! Where do you get your energy from?! 😳😂
@HopefulRobertsons66202 big congratulations! 🥳
@Skyla01 🤞🤞
I’m also interested in getting a fit bit now! Although I think it will just be another thing for me to obsess over.

BabyG123 · 06/05/2020 10:50

@RobinRose it doesn't always look like that 🤣

BabyDust13 · 06/05/2020 10:56

@BabyG123 is that the app that you can put photos of OPKs on?

BabyG123 · 06/05/2020 11:05

@BabyDust13

Yeah the premom app with the easy at home tests.

@HopefulRobertsons66202 - yay!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

@RobinRose @babyG123 @SmileyT @Ltay2 @Positivetime @GingerBaby89 @firsttimetry @Minster2012 @franklydear ahhh so hoping this thread brings us the luck we deserve!

HopefulRobertsons66202 · 06/05/2020 11:15

Thank you guys! I swore I was going to get AF! I feel nothing, no sore boobs, no nausea, nothing! The other thing that made me wonder was that my hips ached on and off and my lower back but not like period cramps!

PRESEED IS AMAZING! And I used the digital CB OPK and that really helped pinpoint ovulation!

Plus this time I immediately started thinking of the next cycle and it helped with the anxiety and sleep! I think being calm makes a difference too!

Good luck ladies I hope this thread is all BFP! ♥️ we deserve it! You ladies are amazing!

RobinRose · 06/05/2020 11:28

@HopefulRobertsons66202 I’m hoping being calm and relaxed helps! Been having lavender baths everyday and spraying lavender and olbus oil on my pillow at night, I’m sleeping like a baby 😂 @MrsEmilyB 🤞! Seems like a super lucky thread !

Newbie0818 · 06/05/2020 11:37

@robinrose I feel your pain. Hugs x

@GingerBaby89 out ttc timings are exactly the same, decided in August and this is cycle 4 of trying. Really hope you get your bfp soon 🤞🏼✨

@firsttimetry I would be the same 😭 it’s normal to want something so bad, you can’t help how you feel x

@Skyla01 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 Yes this is my longest one. Really hope something happens soon like you say.

@HopefulRobertsons66202 aww that’s lovely to see 🥰 congratulations x

Pogmella · 06/05/2020 11:39

Hey- can I join? CD1 of cycle 2, TTC#2. Bit low because my DP travels a lot and during lockdown I thought this was our chance! His boss is already talking about travel in mid/late May which might be when I ov.

So far have just been using Ovia but today bought femometer as I’m probably going to have to get a bit more precise with dates Sad

RobinRose · 06/05/2020 11:52

@GingerBaby89 @Newbie0818 thank you, sending hugs to you both! 🌻

myhappystreak · 06/05/2020 11:54

@HopefulRobertsons66202 our due dates are the same 😍 yay

HopefulRobertsons66202 · 06/05/2020 11:56

@myhappystreak oh my gosh your right!

LV1987 · 06/05/2020 12:01

Wow, this really does move fast! It's taken me all morning to catch up between reading my work emails 😂

@RobinRose, yes Norfolk UK... I am so Norfolk I completely forgot there were others 😅 I've just seen that you are by the coast though, we're more inland (near Norwich)

@babyG123 I thought the same about all your little love hearts! I was naively thinking, ooooh with OH and me home all day, we'll be able to squeeze in so much sex... Nope 😂 we managed about half as much as you and we are both completely shagged (excuse the pun)

BabyG123 · 06/05/2020 12:05

@LV1987 🤣 its always just before we go to sleep. Wanted to get the ovulation window in full speed 🤣

@LV1987 what a small world! 😃

Newbie0818 · 06/05/2020 12:45

Weird question, but when do you guys DTD typically?

I’ve noticed a few people on threads saying they do it before sleeping and don’t go to the toilet again until the morning. I just can’t! Hate the “gooey” feeling... 😂

HopefulRobertsons66202 · 06/05/2020 12:56

We DTD first thing in the morning, was told it's better sperm quality but I'm not sure if it matters

RobinRose · 06/05/2020 13:00

@Newbie0818 not weird at all! Dtd in the morning at the moment , we both wake up early and I’m working from home so it’s working quite well! I can’t not go to the loo! @HopefulRobertsons66202 that’s interesting to know 🤔

BabyG123 · 06/05/2020 13:28

@Newbie0818 dtd last thing at night. Watch the time for 10/15 mins and then go to the loo. I read that somewhere. Can't remember where hahaha
So many old wives tales I'm going with the flow and if it doesn't work I may buy extra vitamins and look into things. I take folic acid that's all atm

OP posts:
Juno231 · 06/05/2020 13:40

@Newbie0818 mostly mid afternoon with the occasional evening or morning BD. I just wait in bed for 10-15 min after and then go to the loo.

Marshmallow123 · 06/05/2020 13:42

Hi everyone!
Hope everyone's having a good Wednesday!

My Femometer ovulation strips have just arrived. AF here just now but likely to be gone tomorrow. Need some advice for you lovely ladies.
When should I start using the test strips? How many a day?
Thanks xxx

Marshmallow123 · 06/05/2020 14:02

Typo....advice FROM you lovely ladies!

popcorndiva · 06/05/2020 14:11

We dtd before bed. Hang about for half an hour lying on a towel then have a shower. Does no one else have a sex towel?

MrsEmilyB · 06/05/2020 14:25

@newbie0818 - generally evenings on workdays and mornings at weekends! I red there's a marginally higher percentage of sperm ejaculated with morning sex, but mostly because it's a nice way to wake up 😂😂

@popcorndiva - omg we have a sex towel too!! My bestie thinks it's proper gross 😝 but I shove it between my thighs so we can have a non gooey cuddle and the sheets don't get messy. Then waddle to the shower a while later, and pop the towel straight in the washing machine overnight!

@Marshmallow123 I start with 1 a day about 5pm from CD8, about CD12 I'll increase to twice daily at about 12 and 4pm if work allows (or lunch break and after work sometime), when lines start getting darker around CD15/16/17 I'll test at 12/4/8pm to try and catch the peak. Its not foolproof though! So like this month I've jot had a peak (highest has been 25) and I'm on CD18 - I think I'm ovulating today based on other symptoms! I may have been too hydrated or missed the peak earlier this week
