Girls I'm getting myself in a bit of a tizz 😫 my OPK's have been stark white to nothing since last week. Now upset thinking I've missed my surge but it NEVER happens that early for me! Had a small-medium
amount of ewcm over the weekend both days and DTD Sunday (first OPK is from Sunday - 2nd day of ewcm) and 2nd OPK is today's 🙁 glow predicts o day on Thursday which would be about right normally for me. What's happened?! Someone give me a shake and tell me I haven't somehow missed it 😫

Meant to say I have been testing in between those tests but they've all been faint/white x

Morning lovely @Mumofboys17

Don't sweat it - as our motto says, if in doubt, shag it out! Just keep banging just in case it's still coming. Our bodies like to play tricks on us, so be prepared by building up your sperm resovoirs this week 🤞🤞

Missgoldilocks · 16/06/2020 10:52

@Mumofboys17 I don't think you've missed it, I think it'll be on Thursday! Just keep testing, have you felt your cervix? Is it high and soft yet?? That's a really good indicator if opks fail you xx

Mumofboys17 · 16/06/2020 10:53

@LV1987 sperm reservoir! 😂😂 can always count on you to put a smile on my face hahaha!! Yeah I plan on sticking to every other day this week, in hope of a nice strong surge 😬 feel like a knob now though as I sacked off the vitamins this cycle as I had a strop of taking them for 3 months and no success. Last 3 cycles O day has been bang on the same day 🙄 I reckon I'm in for a long one this cycle!

How are you doing?? Just realised it's your 12dpo mark tomorrow.. xx

OP posts:
Mumofboys17 · 16/06/2020 10:55

@Missgoldilocks I did have a little check yesterday and it's super high but not sure if it's soft really. Kind of medium firmness? I'm deffo a bit wet but not heavy ewcm like I've had before. Arrggghhhhh why is this so stressful!!
How are you doing lovely? You're in your TWW now aren't you? X

LV1987 · 16/06/2020 11:37

@Mumofboys17 that's ma girl!

I'm 11dpo today, I think... You've got me second guessing myself now 😂😂 I'm due to test in the morning, but honestly, I think I'm out. I feel like I would rather see that confirmed tomorrow with a BFN than waiting for AF to arrive, but no doubt I'll be devastated either way 🤷‍♀️

Missgoldilocks · 16/06/2020 12:14

@lv1987 it hurts so much doesn't it? Ttc is so shit I'm soooo sick of it. Fingers crossed its good news for you though x

@Mumofboys17 yeah I'm 2dpo today nipples are killing me but I have that some cycles, if they dissappear in a few days I'll be deflated knowing af is gonna come. I'm already feeling sad because I just think it's obviously not gonna happen lol I can't think positive it's so shit!! I just had a smear too so cramping a bit from that! Xx

LV1987 · 17/06/2020 05:29

It does indeed... And here's another stark white BFN to add to the list, boo! Onwards to cycle 5 now I guess.

Missgoldilocks · 17/06/2020 08:40

@LV1987 I'm so sorry 😩🤗❤️it's sooo hard seeing a bfn. I can't bare it that's ehu I wait for af...
I had a dream I got a bfp, I did 3 tests 2 positive and the digi was negative obviously I woke up with that excitement feeling just to realise it was a dream ☹️

LV1987 · 17/06/2020 09:55

Thank you lovely 😘 I picked a terrible day to put myself through this - we have two little boys crying their hearts out today as their grandad in Thailand has passed away. Definitely leaving the camera off on video calls today, I'm a wreck!! Hearing a 4 year old say "My grandad isn't in heaven, he's in hospital" over and over again is heartbreaking 💔

Missgoldilocks · 17/06/2020 10:03

Omg that's bloody awful I'm so sorry to hear that @lv1987 bless their hearts xxxx

Mumofboys17 · 17/06/2020 10:33

@LV1987 Oh lord I'm so sorry!! What an awful time for all of you. 🙁 we've lost 2 family members during this pandemic now and haven't been able to say goodbye to either of them. Lots of cuddles and whatever you all need to get you through. ❤️❤️

@Missgoldilocks omg that happened to me the other day!! Dreamt I was pregnant and it felt SO real! So disappointed when I woke up!! 😢😅

Mumofboys17 · 17/06/2020 10:35

I have no idea what my body's doing anymore 😫 CD20 today and this is my OPK from this morning. Not positive but obviously a million times darker than yesterday! God saaaaaake 🙄 so perhaps O day will be tomorrow as planned! No ewcm or cramps or anything but been using lots of conceive plus this week so may just not be able to tell 🙃😂

@Mumofboys17 yep looks like it! Why don't you try isoflavones to bring your ovulation date sooner?? I've heard great things about it

LV1987 · 17/06/2020 14:03

@Missgoldilocks how do we do this?? My femometer is currently having a freak out about my OV date, but it tends to be between day 21 and 28!!

Missgoldilocks · 17/06/2020 14:42

@lv1987 isoflavones is like half the strength of clomid and you take it between cycle day 3 and 6 I think, lower dose building up but only taking 200mg on the last day max. So I've heard people's ovulation days going from cd12 to cd15. The first month might not work out but preservere to the second month see what happens? Look it up isoflavones for ovulation and gather the information you need x

LV1987 · 18/06/2020 09:09

AF is in the building... I didn't tell OH about the BFN yesterday, as he wouldn't understand the early testing. His reaction: "Oh bugger. We'll have to get a dog." 😂

Anyway, fresh start, let's crack on!!

Missgoldilocks · 18/06/2020 09:38

@lv1987 awwww I'm sure you will concieve soon! Your body is still probably getting to grips after contraceptive, it will happen xx

Missgoldilocks · 18/06/2020 10:58

@Mumofboys17 how are you?

Mumofboys17 · 18/06/2020 20:50

@LV1987 OMG my DH said something similar before! How odd 😂😂 we have cats though haha and I have to say they're much worse than my 2 year old!! 🙄

@Missgoldilocks errr, dunno 😂 my OPK's are all over the place I legit have zero idea this cycle when or if I even ovulated 😶 (I know I say this most months.. but seriously this time I really don't know!!)
Dark OPK yesterday morning, faint evening. Dark ish again this morning, and faint this evening 😐 (can't post pic yet as they're on the bathroom windowsill and DH is in the bath haha)
Cervix feels really high but I think kind of hard? Zero cm too. Glow reckons I ovulated today, so think I might go with that... but, yeah, not a clue mate 😅 xx

Mumofboys17 · 18/06/2020 21:10

Here we gooo.. top 2 are yesterday, bottom 2 are today. I know they're not always as accurate when dried but it's all I've got!

LV1987 · 19/06/2020 08:02

Sooooo after a false start yesterday, AF has got me properly today along with the dreaded period poops. I swear, I don't know how I dealt with periods at work pre-lockdown, they are horrendous.

@Mumofboys17 the very top one definitely looks like a peak to me, so I think maybe ovulation the day after that was taken? But perhaps keep an eye on them for a couple more days to be sure they come back down again xx

Katie1109 · 19/06/2020 09:34

@LV1987 sorry AF got you x stay positive x
@Mumofboys17 I’d say the top one was positive, so ovulation within 24 hours from that? Do you get any ovulation pains at all? x
My spotting has stopped completely day before yesterday and I’m feeling like it’s new beginning now x we even had sex last night, at first I was scared it will hurt, because of all pain I went through last week, but once I let go of that it was like being back ourselves again, like we reconnected 💕
I’ve got no idea when I’ll ovulate, if I count first day of miscarriage as day 1, then ovulation around Wednesday next week x I ordered opks but I might give it a miss this cycle and wait for my first post miscarriage af x

Mumofboys17 · 19/06/2020 10:40

@Katie1109 hello you!! That's so lovely to read. I know exactly what you mean about that reconnecting feeling ❤️ so, so pleased you're OK xx

@LV1987 I always get a dodgey stomach first few days of AF too, so weird. Swear I never used to! Xx

Thank you for the OPK advice ladies x I did feel a little bit crampy yesterday but otherwise no noticeable ovulation symptoms. I've attached a pic of this mornings test so think I'll go with the majority and say I'm 1dpo today 😬 fml.. here we go again 😫 just as well really as we've DTD the last 3 days I don't think I have any left in me to do it again!! 😂😂
