Not added anyone that I don’t have dates for but I’ve not forgotten you just let me know when you know you ovulate/ know your test dates ☺️

@Missgoldilocks that's exactly how I felt last cycle! I just knew I weren't going to get my BFP and I felt so sad and low! Aww I hope you feel better and more positive soon! Men just don't understand sometimes!!x

@SweetDreams92 ohh I only got the pack of 25 and I started taking them as soon as af finished to try and get a pattern idea so I used 20! This lockdown is obviously pushing people into baby making😂 yeah I like them, they're very accurate and quick and clear! Ermm not sure about cb, I feel like I'm happy with the strips and they work for me so I have no need to use cb, how about you?

@KateColx I think all women feel like they'll never get their BFP, I certainly feel like that, and when I once told a friend that when i did start trying I'd be scared of something being wrong her reply was "no you're young you'll be fine", I thought being young has nothing to do with it though if infertility problems! Oooo exciting!! Cycle 2 of trying using opks! But been off the pill since 31st jan but weren't trying! How about you?x

@Minster2012 cycle buddies!x

Yay @vil10 though I'm clearly an idiot I'm on CD14 today, see I says I wasn't paying much attention!! bloody body

So im on CD 10, OPK came back as low/ zero, updated on femometr and now my fertile week and ovulation date has disappeared. Anybody else get nothing on an OPK at CD10 but then do ovulate later on? 🙈 (there is a tiny line on them)

Ignore my comment, app was having a paddy 😂

@KateColx I know this feeling 😫 I am now taking COQ10 three times a day, Folic Acid once a day, Vital DHA twice a day, VitD once a day. Thinking of adding EPO too. To top it all off currently peeing on my hand multiple times a day trying to catch it in a tiny plastic shot glass at work to do the OPKs... like seriously how much more?! 😂😂

@Vil10 haha yes there will definitely be a baby boom soon 🤣 yeah I agree, plus the CB ones are quite pricey I think. I may take the plunge if I'm not lucky enough to conceive in the next few months (naively optimistic!) as it may be useful to have something to compare the OPK strips with. In the meantime, I hope the easy@home ones come back in stock soon!

@Ltay2 haha at using the shot glass at work - the things we do for the sake of TTC! 😂

Work finally done and catching up, sorry a few of us are feeling a bit low, but ttc is bloody hard on us mentally, once you're in the rabbit hole of pills and opks it's hard to stop 🙈 my friend that is pregnant at work said 'just get shagging all the time' I was like 'yeah that's what I'll do, thanks for pointing it out' 🤔 but she has been having fertility treatment for 2years so I know she understands the frustration but there is probably nothing people can say that makes us feel better.

Anywho I'm getting back on my fertility meditation when I get home to chill me the fuck out, strangely I think I find the wait for fertile week worse than TWW as it's all still to play for 🙌🏾

And I'm impressed with you testing at work @Ltay2 ive only done it once in my tic tac box but found it annoying trying to carry it to my office rather than spending 5minutes in there 😂

@SweetDreams92 @SmileyT it's the only thing I can sneak to the toilet without anyone seeing and asking questions - I tuck it in my bra and hide out in the toilet for 5 minutes, everyone probably thinks there's something wrong with me being in the toilet so long multiple times a day 😂

@Ltay2 @smileyt I know your aim in the tictac box is great but do you guys have water fountains/coolers to steal plastic cups from? My go to collection cup was a clear lid off a deodorant/ body spray 🤣

@Mococo1 I have a clear plastic cup from a water fountain that I use at home 😂 I found it difficult at work to sneak it to the toilet though which is why I have resorted to the shot glass 🙈

Cor, we have had a day of it in our house! BFN this morning, and then two very upset little boys as their grandad (on their mums side) passed away, similarly upset grown ups, particularly OH as not only is he upset for the boys, but was quite fond of his EX-FIL, manic day at work topped off with thunderstorms!!

So... I had a nice long shower and got my big girl pants on ready for AF to show, and now I've managed to convince myself I'm not out yet 🤦‍♀️ I do this every bloody month! But this time, I think I genuinely might have messed up my tracking by stopping my OPKs too early - I thought I had my peak on CD21 so stopped testing when it reverted to low on CD23. But then I had EWCM and RHR peak on CD24, which is when my apps have estimated ovulation for the last 2 months... So maybe I only detected a false peak and my real peak happened after I stopped testing? I would then be less DPO than I thought...

And I sound like a mad woman, I don't know why I torture myself like this 😭😳🤯

@SmileyT I totally agree with you that the wait for FW is a lot more stressful than the TWW!

@LV1987 oh gosh sorry to hear that! Hope the boys and your OH are doing okay. Hey look, you know what they say. You’re not out until AF shoes so fingers crossed she doesn’t 🤞🏼

@lucyrp you really are having a stressful time atm. I don’t really understand BBT tracking but that’s a lot of high OPKs. Hope you get some clarity soon!

Thanks @J0DI3 😘 you're not supposed to encourage me though 😂 I'll test again on the 21st, as per original plan of AF doesn't beat me to it. She should do if I am wrong 🤔

@LV1987 well fingers crossed she doesn’t! I almost caved today but didn’t do it. DH is home tomorrow and told me not to test and just wait and see if AF arrives. Yeah right, as soon as Friday is over I’m POAS!! 😂

Well you'll be 14dpo then right @J0DI3? So that's a sensible testing day 😂 I'm defo waiting until 14dpo from now on, as then even if I am a couple of days out, I should still be in reliable results territory.

Someone screen shot that to play back to me next month 😂😂

Think I miscalculated badly this month and AF is about to start 😅 I'm crap at this ttc lark!

OK what I thought was AF was not AF yet... However I now have weird sort of pale very thin cm 🤔 going to test on Sunday morning I think if AF doesn't show up before then.

@J0DI3 yeah i know and they're all the same!😂😂

god i feel very sick and weird tonight 🤮

@Ltay2 yeah I don't know why I'm bothered about sitting in there because sometimes I go in there and scroll my phone which is probably longer than 5 mins 😂 and water cooler cup is a great idea @Mococo1 it's actually in the corridor towards toilet so would be an easy one for me 👌🏾

@LV1987 ahh so sorry about your OHs ex FIL that must've been a shock to all, especially boys away from mum 😕 although I'm sure they've loved step mummy cuddles today. I think that looks like a good peak on your opks but think about it this way, if AF is late you'll know to keep testing next month. Did you carry on having sex after peak opk (sorry can only keep up with testing dates not sex dates aswell 😂) x

@DontGoJasonWaterfalls how many dpo are you now? When is AF due? Hope she stays away for you x

@LV1987 yes I will be. I’m getting more tempted by the hour but am going to try and wait. Haha I’ve screenshot it for you 😂

@lucyrp so frustrating. Hope you get an answer soon! 🤞🏼✨

@SmileyT no idea how many dpo haha I had ov symptoms on the 5th and the 9th so I'm anywhere between 8 and 12 dpo 😂 AF due on 21st but that's a 32 day cycle so it could turn up any time if my body decides that it's going to have a 28 day for once.

I’ve just been to the toilet and had a vvvvvvv light brown in colour CM show! More beige to be honest. At first I thought it was AF but realised it wasn’t. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm so excited to be back in this weird and wonderful TTC game this month I think I've forgotten that in all likelihood it's not going to work this time 😂 CD14 today, lots of EWCM tonight, cervix is low soft and open but still not for peak or anything close 🤔 still got one more test to do tonight but just waiting to need a wee cos I've got nothing right now 🙈

BFP for me! 🤩 good luck everyone x
