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 ☺️

@Minster2012 i didn't think it was a low either!! I'd say a high definitely! But we've DTD this morning anyway and we'll go again later so at least we're covering the day's! I usually use the easy@home strips but they had none in stock! Which do you use??

@Franklydear "dj gas next week off" Made me chuckle 😂😂😂don't we love typos

@Minster2012 how productive were you before 10am, I'm sat on the sofa and have been since I woke up, I'm bloody exhausted. I'm so impressed at you being able to work DH round I need to learn some skills. Also I've heard that ovulation bleed can be before, during or after ovulation so let's hope you get that static soon to confirm something x

@Missgoldilocks we seem to have had a flurry of testing mid month but now a little break. Hopefully you'll be one of the last BFPs of the month and give us July ladies a boost 🤞

@Katao that makes sense, yeah if cycle is 28 days I'd definitely guess you've ovulated so officially in TWW 🙌🏾

@Vil10 yes you are definitely nearing peak so cycle is looking the same as last month, is that right? X

@Franklydear great about the job situation, definitely a weight off xx

Today I'm CD8 I got my first ever flashing smile after 2 months of going straight from blank to static... was so happy this morning ✌🏾 I did have to start CB on CD6, a day early, as think I have an early oestrogen surge, so now expecting another 4/5 days of these flashes before static 🙄 x

@SmileyT I hope so because according to the app that result wasn't even high!! So I'm confused! Just going to test again later and see! Yeah last cycle I got my peak CD17 then when i tested the day after my opk was low again so I think I have a short surge! I'm CD15 today so expecting peak soon!
At least you got your flashing though!!

@Vil10 I use femometer ones but would try get easy@home ones next time they seem better (but it may be me!)

@Franklydear that's good about not redundancy & about a week off!

@Maybe333 lackadaisical ahhhhh yes that one 🤦🏼‍♀️you knowwwwww

@SmileyT thanks but on the productivity front I'm now sat on my arse 😂however, with your "can occur whenever" you are about as much use as an underwater hairdryer or a chocolate tea pot but it's the same as I can gather from google so I can't complain!

@Minster2012 and @SmileyT hahaha yeah I just casually drop how many houses we own into conversation whenever I get the chance 😂😂 but seriously, and so you don't think I'm a right snob, they are the shittiest of shit houses and I get my hands verrry dirty. My job next week is literally to don full protective gear/goggles/respirator and clean out 10cm coverage of pigeon shit through the entire roof space of the house 🤢 did you know that stuff is toxic?! The fun things I learn.
And a little BJ lick and tickle works erry time to get my OH into it too 👌🏼

@Missgoldilocks yep 6DPO and feeing same as most other days. A little crappy today but nothing out of the ordinary. Telltale AF sign for me is strong cramps from about 9dpo so we'll see 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Franklydear great news about OH job!

Googles lackadaisical definition.... ooh what an excellent word! I am going to challenge myself to use that in a sentence sometime this weekend. Bonus points for including moister than an oyster in the same sentence.

@lucyrp 😲🥺😆 missed the autocorrect...
I am still shielding so that will give us some opportunity

In fact I'm going to show you! So while you ladies are online shopping for sexy lingerie, I'm out buying this... I'm feeling so lackadaisical today, but once I get this bad boy out and into the bedroom I guarantee I'll be moister than an oyster.

@Skip86 my telltale sign is 3 days before af due so about 11dpo I get super emotional as if that's needed! Haha

@SmileyT fingers crossed that would be nice!! Some months I had flashing for 3 days then static and other months I go straight to solid but always get a solid on the same day cd15. I wonder why it varies must be the hormones

Oh @Skip86 if you can get lacksidasical AND moister than an oyster into a sentence WHILST wearing your fetching new head lingerie then you win thread 8! Go go go

Oh and @Lucyrp wins the prize for oldest POAS positive keeper unless there's any other contenders older than 2016?? 👀

@Minster2012 we still have one from 2013 in a drawer 😳

AF due tomorrow, BFN yesterday so pretty sure I'm out, just waiting for the inevitable now!

@Minster2012 my DS one is from 2014 🙈🙈🤣

@Minster2012 even at every other day you are covered so don't stress and just keep at it! Have I a heart of stone?....never kept a pee stick, wouldn't even occur to me.

@Minster2012 I think it's the kind of brand you use! I used ovaview at first and the lines weren't very clear or strong! I recommend easy@home though!

Oooo we might have a different winner, @Dontgojasonwaterfalls POAS from 2013 but again not out until you are out 🤞🏻

@katao hopefully we are covered but I'm keen to try understand my body too! Having not had periods since I was 17 & now I'm about to turn 36 😂it doesn't make you have a heart of stone, just normal 🤣

I need opinions 💁🏼‍♀️ I had a slightly high OPK today so it's thrown me a bit. I haven't drank a lot today, can tell I'm slightly dehydrated so perhaps that's why it's more detectable today? The one that I've logged as peak on Thursday I wasn't dehydrated so I'm still more inclined to believe right now that that was closest to my peak, along with the EWCM I had on Wednesday and Thursday too. Not had much CM at all yesterday and today although that again could be down to not drinking much 🙈 so annoying I can either not drink a lot and get a good urine sample for OPK or drink loads and get chance of EWCM 🤦🏼‍♀️ planning on DTD tonight anyway so either way doesn't really matter it's just frustrating to not know!

@Ltay2 that's really hard, the first one doesn't look like a peak to me it's too light, normally it has to be dark as or darker than control line. I'd say the one today is your peak? Have you felt your cervix and checked up there how your mucus feels? I get ewcm days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation it's more like watery than ewcm? Do you track bbt? Hk estky bbt is the best along side opks so you defo know what's going on. I did it for the first 7 months but I ovulate every single cd15 without fail so not much point in me worrying about it anymore

Just tested again and apparently this is still low??

@Missgoldilocks I gave up with BBT as my sleep doesn't seem good enough for accurate testing. I had EWCM on Wednesday and more watery/EWCM on Thursday when I got the first high test. My cervix was soft those 2 days too and 'inside' felt very swollen and soft too. Yesterday and today I've had less CM, more creamy/sticky if anything definitely not EW and not as soft inside either. Cervix feels harder today I think but higher.

@Vil10 that is definitely a high opk test, what app are you using to read it?

@Minster2012 as useful as a choc teapot is one of my fave phrases 😂😂 I just woke up from a nap so I've completely written off my Saturday x

@Skip86 I did not know pigeon shit was toxic 🤢 glad you've got all the gear to protect you though. At least your TWW will be flying by as you're so busy x

@Ltay2 yeah the one today looks more like a peak but it is hard to know... I actually did a bit of a test with hydration and I still got a clear positive after drinking loads and wasn't much different with no drinking or a hole but I guess it depends how quick the surge is... so long way of saying, who knows 🙈

Never mind, just took a picture in a different light and it's given me a high😂

@SmileyT the premom app which they tell you to use for easy@home! I'm hoping that if I'm not lucky this cycle that the strips are back in stock instead of this sticks, I don't like these!

Might give CB OPK a go next time if this time doesn't work out. Thought I was good at the whole OPK reading thing but this is confusing me 🙈
