Hi, to anyone else who would like to join. 👋👋
I am on Cycle 2 TTC and on CD15 following SMEP plan this month, tracking BBT and using OPKs xx

@Wishingfornumber2 ahh, so annoying isn't it 😩😩 I'm on CD18. It flashed again me just now. Are you tracking with anything else? Xx

@Rainbowhope11 😂😂 This is day 6?I think of flashing. Maybe 5. Had another temp drop again this morning. Xx

Well ladies how are we all today? Been a bit quiet as was spending time with the family all of yesterday and didn’t get online. Welcome to all the new comers! Cycle day 16 for me 5DPO :)

Welcome @Semele5069 Sorry for your losses but I'm glad you're GP is being proactive x

@Mommybear05 last month my period completely stopped, I stopped using a tampons and then after about 24hrs it just came back for a random bleed which was full on but maybe only last 12hrs, no idea what it was about or if it's normal tbh 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Diorissimo1985 hi 👋 sorry for your loss, what CD were you ovulating pre-loss with your 24/25 day cycles? I'd say earliest you'd want to test for a conclusive answer is 21st, but if you can't wait i'd say at least Monday but might not be accurate x

@HE88 well was looking at l'arginine for egg quality and implantation but there are definitely some mixed reviews. I think my protein may be a little low so I'm going to try and supplement with it just when I'm not getting enough. Apparently it's good for sperm so may do some more research and give it to DP (not that he knows this yet) x

Cd20 and still negative OPKs. Any reviews of one step brand? Switched to these this month and not sure if I'm having issues because of that.

Morning ladies! CD16 for me and I'm still not sure if I ovulated or not. The OPK never went the same or darker than the control line but I did have two days where they were prominent so that might have been it! We've been DTD most days just to be sure so who knows what will happen.

@Ejb86 I haven't used one step but I've used so many brands and easy@home is my favourite. No Evaps or indents on the hpts. Easy to read opks plus the app helps read them. About £8/month.

Easy@Home 50 x Ovulation Test... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DOJG6RA?ref=ppxpoppmobappshare

@VP91x no not tracking with anything else. Was going for the chilled approach this month but now getting anxious lol! Let’s hope we get that static smiley very soon 🤞. X

@Doughnut100 I've switched from the easy ones as I was having issues with them not fading properly. I must just be ovulating even later this cycle

Thank you @SmileyT - I used to ov cd13 before my miscarriage but I am so confused about what cd I’m on now as I don’t really know when to count cd1 as I technically didn’t have a period with the miscarriage last month... so confused!

Hello to everyone else and hope everyone is keeping positive

@Wishingfornumber2 I hope so too!! I have 3 more IC tests and 3 more CB sticks so if it doesn't show up with them I will just have to rely on BBT, refuse to buy anymore for the month haha xx

@Dipsy77 @SmileyT thanks I’m just going to assume it’s part of the getting back to normal. It’s stopped again now 🤷‍♀️

I checked my apps they are saying I'm actually 11DPO so I won't have to wait much longer

Haven't tested and don't plan too until Wednesday - that's when my aps say AF is due but I've been late last 2 cycles and didn't track properly so it's not exact . All I know it's next week AF is due .

Still have back ache and have had sharp cramping / pressure this morning so almost certain AF will appear just have to wait and see !

Being more chilled and not testing is helping though !

@Diorissimo1985 CD1 is the first day of bleeding of your MC, last month my cycle was about 3 days longer than my normal cycles and I ovulated about 4 days later than I expected (that was with me counting the day I had surgery for MC as CD1 as mine was a MMC) some ladies don't have any delay to their cycle but yours sounds, like mine, just a few days delayed xx

@Donnat89 I know what you mean - AF is due anywhen between next Weds to Monday for me 🙄 because I usually have either 27 or 29 days cycles - but my first one post mc was 31days - so now I’m thinking it’s probably better if I want into the week after next to test?! I think if AF hadn’t showed by then I’d be pretty sure without a test, but don’t know how I’d feel doing one before then and seeing a bfn!

@Mommybear05 yeah I think that our bodies are probably still adjusting, how are you feeling today? xx

@VP91x I got a brand called clear and simple for the ic opks - and I found them to be really good! They were 30 for £5.99 which I thought was really reasonable (given the amount you can spend on the whole ttc journey!!) xx

Morning ladies hope everyone is ok today! I went outside this morning to peg my washing out and it's rather chilly up north, my boobs started aching while I was outside...now thinking this could be a sign but don't want to get my hopes up 🙈 my PT still haven't arrived from eBay so looks like I'm just gonna have to wait AF due Tuesday.
Hope everyone has a great day

@Bellabubble ahh that is good! I think I paid about £14 for my femometer ones. They come with 50 tests and then 20 PG tests. Hoping I won't need any after this month 🤞🤞🤞 xx

@SmileyT ah I see good luck with it. I think this is the thing with the different things to use for ttc there is always mixed reviews. How are you feeling today? Xx

@VP91x yes the CB ones are expensive! I have one more CB stick left. Debating whether to leave testing today and test tomorrow instead and hope for peak but could miss if I peak today. But if I test today and still flashing smiley I won’t know when my peak comes unless I splash out and buy another pack. Oh the dilemma! X

@Wishingfornumber2 it is beyond annoying to be at this point. Honestly the should bulk sell the things at a cheaper price haha xx

@Wishingfornumber2 I think it should still catch it in the morning, right? What would you be most annoyed at? Xx

@VP91x Yeah would be so handy if they just did a pack of 10 top up sticks or something like that. Think I would be more annoyed if I got another flashing smiley tomorrow as will just have to guess when my peak will be or even if it does come. I think I will test tomorrow morning and see what comes of that. Xx

@HE88 yeah I've read so much info and if you read about anything long enough somebody has something negative to say. My cycles are pretty steady so my main thing is not wanting to mess them up and make them irregular. AF came today so that's me officially onto the next cycle.

@Mommybear05 I've followed you again and this cycle has been 27 days so think I'm like a week behind you again... here's to our Feb babies ❤️

@Wishingfornumber2 yeah that's probably the best way to do it. I really hope you get it tomorrow so you won't be guessing 🤞 xx
