Lucky thread number 5.... hopefully 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Missgoldilocks fantastic to hear the tube flushing went well! Hopefully you're all fresh and ready for a good strong eggy 😊🥰 sorry I haven't messaged in a while again I've just been major busy with home life etc. Only CD9 for me today so still a long way to go til FW yet!! Trying so hard to relax and not stress this cycle after that horrible, weird AF which I can only assume was effected by stress and anxiety 😓 xx

@Boo2020 congrats lovely we were due another BFP!! Hopefully the rest of us aren't far behind now! Xx

@LV1987 have you done any more OPK's? Hate waiting for that peak!! Xx

@Mumofboys17 yeah definitely try to destress I know how hard it is! Good that you're busy with work life though that should keep you from thinking about it too much fingers crossed 🤞
The pains fully stopped now so I'm hoping to dtd from tonight till Sunday night, my son will be at my mums over the weekend so it gives us a bit of alone time :) xx

@Boo2020

You could be right. Perhaps I didn't ovulate this month and last month's blood is just coming through.

@Mumofboys17 thank you so much ..fingers crossed you will all get yours soon! I will still lurking on here..

@easterbunny7 how long are your cycles? Do you use OPKs?

@Boo2020

cycles are 28-41 days. I tried using Clearblue ovulation stick but with PCOS, it doesn't work well; your body can try (and fail) to ovulate more than once in a month leading to false positives on OPKs

@easterbunny7 stick with the OPKs you never know, I was getting peaks with OPKs from last November, it was only last month that it worked and i got my BFP on a peak!..

I was using the cheap OPKs x

And there it is ❤

@Mumofboys17 I've taken so many more OPKs 😂😂 still all stark white, since the random high on Saturday, which was CD17. Today is CD23 and it's still stark white so I'm not really sure what to think. I intend to keep testing until CD30, which I think ties in with my latest ever ovulation... And we'll just have to keep banging until then, but I'm not sure how to explain that to OH 🤔

@missgoldilocks yay for clear tubes!! This is really good news, and I hope this month is lucky for you after that. Come on eggies!!

Here are my femometer screenshots from Saturday onwards... Two more 0% OPKs today as well that I can't fit on. And they are defo 0%, it's not the app refusing to read them. No bleeding clue whether it has happened and I've missed it, or whether I'm still waiting. Could be half way through my TWW for all I know!

@Boo2020 congratulations!!!

@EasterBunny7 thank you so much ❤

@LV1987 keep testing mine looked like that then I ovulated late on Cd27-28..

@Missgoldilocks such good news about you tubes, keep going, I know how hard it can get each month, I've my fingers crossed for you.

@LV1987 not sure if you remember but this has definitely happened to me at least twice since joining the group and tracking my OPK's!! What CD are you now? Wouldn't surprise me if you just haven't had your peak yet, keep going xxx

Thanks @Mumofboys17, I think I do remember you having similar issues. I'm CD25 now - had another "high" yesterday lunchtime, tested again about 4 hours later hoping to see a peak, and it was stark white 🤷‍♀️ seems like my body just keeps trying and failing, so I'm tempted to just write this month off so I can chill.

@LV1987 I can't remember if you said already but maybe doing temping will really help you?

@Mumofboys17 how are you love x

I'm here still, didn't manage to dtd on Friday but did it last night and this morning, got my peak this morning too. Will dtd tonight and just hope it's enough. Haven't had any ewcm this month

Thanks @missgoldilocks I think my AF treat this month may well be a thermometer 😂 we've been DTD every other day, plus extras where the mood takes us so hopefully we'll have it covered if I ever actually manage to ovulate.

I came downstairs from doing an OPK yesterday, and OH was like, why do you look so frustrated? So I said, I've just done a test and it wasn't what I wanted to see and I'm angry at my body for not doing what it should be doing. His reply... So you're not pregnant then, you've taken about 30 test lately? 🤦‍♀️ I mean, give him his due, at day 24 any normal woman would be taking a pregnancy test rather than pissing on an OPK 🤣🤣

@LV1987 😂😂😂 yeah definitely invest in a thermometer then you know more accurately and it'll then give you peace of mind.notbing worse than being in limbo!

@Missgoldilocks I'm alright! Plodding along, nothing exciting going on here yet 😂 still having lots of creamy and stringy cm on and off it's all very weird. I've started taking folic acid again and asked DH to take his vitamins again too. Struggling to have much enthusiasm for it all lately!! But this part always feels long (waiting for FW) so trying my best to keep busy and have ZERO stress!! 😬 how are you?? Hope you've caught this month, we need more BFP's!! Xx

@LV1987 I know you have longer cycles, but remind me how long are they normally? Does seem odd, spose there's that chance you may well have missed the peak, I feel you though that happens to me ALL the time!! Xx

@Mumofboys17 tell me about it. Honestly my OH has stopped taking his vitamins because I don't do them for him anymore 😂 I can't be assed I told him to do them himself again and again but it never happened. I've slacked on taking mine too though but trying to start up again! I mean we spent a fortune on them 😂
When's your fw?
I hope so too, we dtd yesterday morning and night and I got a load of ewcm yesterday afternoon and peak opks all day and this morning they are now start white x

Congrats @Boo2020

@Missgoldilocks Oh thats great news your tubes are clear I have everything crossed that this is your month xx

@LV1987 Oh it's so frustrating waiting around to Ovulate isn't it and then having to keep up the DTD just in case. Hopefully you will get a high over next day or 2. Have you any signs of EWCM or do you get O pain?

@Missgoldilocks exactly! They're SO expensive! I found some folic acid in our medicine cabinet yesterday so figured that'll do me til FW, I've got 4/5 pregnacare left so plan to take those around O day 😂😂 boost my levels a bit haha. Another reason I'm not doing OPK's because I've almost run out and can't afford to keep buying 50 tests a month!
I'm CD12 today, so around 9 days(ish) til predicted ovulation now. We've just been DTD for the fun of it lately and it's felt a lot better, will try and keep to every other day from today/tomorrow but not stressing if we don't (much) 🙃😂 xx

Your DTD sounds very positive though!! Ticking all the boxes! 🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️

@Mumofboys17 yeah! Fun sex is the best sex 😂😁 well I take back what I said my opk is still peak today I went back and looked at it and it looks like the two I took yesterday, the top one was yesterday morning, middle yesterday evening and bottom this morning (looking at them in the picture I think the middle one is peak?? Hard to say once they dry). But then again I don't think I've done an opk after getting a peak before so I wouldn't know the difference.
When I saw the doc in the private clinic he said throw away all the sticks lol and dtd every other day. I guess that way you won't miss it and won't have to think much about it but that just doesn't work for us since we don't dtd that often anyway haha! Yes, hoping we've covered bases which I think we have and now it's the waiting game xxz

@BFP2020 thank you lovely, how are you doing? Xx

@Missgoldilocks I reckon you're spot on there, middle one definitely looks like a peak! Awww I really hope this is it for you!! Especially with your nice fresh tubes 😉😘 xx

@Mumofboys17 we will get there in the end!! The both of us ❤️ have you looked into bringing your ovulation date earlier? Like different things you could try xx

@Missgoldilocks I've read up on it loads online but there's so much conflicting information! Some say soy isoflavones or certain vitamins, but others say it made O day even later or stopped them ovulating altogether, others swear by exercise and some swear by eating loads of greens 🤦🏼‍♀️ I don't bloody know anymore 😂😂 xx
