@Peach1204 @Poppyismyfavourite @Summertime1992 I'm sure everyone here would love to hear how you're getting on!

@Dreaming101 so many not sure what ones is yours.

@Bam27 I tracked mine last cycle I had one day of watery discharge followed by 5 days of EWCD then after a few days started getting creamy white discharge. Hope that helps :)

Hope everyone is keeping well and good luck for this cycle.

I still dont feel pregnant yet although have been having a cat nap in the afternoon at work all this week and getting up in the night to wee. I have my booking in appointment on 10th July so that may make it feel more real.

@Dreaming101 found it 😃👍🏻 x

@Daffodil21 I'm okay thank you 😊 I'm in the stage between AF and ovulation and I always find this part of my cycle much easier. Although I'm sad about it, I'm trying to take the positive from the early miscarriage, that I can actually fall pregnant. My biggest fear before ttc was that I wouldn't be able to fall because of endometriosis. Now I feel like it is possible. Still thinking about whether I want to try OPKs or not, but I just know I will get obsessed and feel like it might just cause stress.
How are you doing?
@Summertime1992 Thank you, that is reassuring if yours lasted 5 days too. Thought maybe my body was trying to ovulate and couldn't and that's why it lasted so long. Think I'm just being paranoid and thinking to much into everything. Glad to see your feeling well.

Do you think it will matter if we don't DTD tonight? Static smiley last night and we DTD then. It's so hot and I have a feeling DH will not be up for it. He gets so agitated when it's warm in bed.

@ALew15 I think tonight would be good if you can... maybe go for it now instead of in bed?! Maybe he could take a cool shower first...? You might be kicking yourself in the TWW if you don't. But at the same time yesterday is still good, and probably enough, and if you have to force it then it's not going to do either of you any favours...

@Bam27 you might be more fertile afterwards... I was. Still shitty for you though I always find the bit between AF and ovulation easier too - it feels like you have some control over things. Although I still haven't had a bloody smiley face so beginning to wonder if I'm going ovulate this month...

Can anyone see anything ? X

@Daffodil21 I hope so, I have heard that before. Yeah that and the fact that there is no symptom spotting and I treat myself to couple of gins because its the only time you can be certain your not pregnant. Oh, hopefully you get that smiley face soon! Do you normally ovulate every month? I would love to know when I ovulate but don't think I can commit to OPKs tried tracking my bbt once and gave up after about a week 😂 I don't purposefully track cm is just so happens that I notice it, but not sure how reliable that is as a method of tracking ovulation though.

@hampshirerose34 I'm sorry I can't see anything. The picture is coming up very small on my phone though so it's really hard to tell.

@Bam27 I don't use OKPs every month, but every month I've used them I've ovulated. I'm the same with you on cm.

@hampshirerose34 do you have a clearer pic of the top test? I can slightly see a line on that one but it doesn't look in the middle so I'm not sure it would be valid? When is AF due?

@Daffodil21 I have 8 days until my AF just frustrated at the moment I am getting on my own nerves x

@hampshirerose34 I know the feeling! Still a few days away though so there's a good chance that it's too early to get a positive result yet.. Keeping my fingers crossed for BFP in a few days x

@hampshirerose34 a friend of mine didn’t get a BFP until 7-8 weeks gone! Xx

@SaraVB thank you I hope so xx

@Dreaming101 god that's torture ! I hope I don't have to wait that long x

Morning ladies, I've got an ovulation test question:

When you're not yet ovulating, do you see a second line on the stick when you eject it? I still haven't got a smiley face on CD24 but there's always been a faint second line on the stick

Hope everyone is doing ok

Morning everyone.

@Daffodil21 I seem to remember a very faint line on my earlier tests. I think they then got darker each day until the 'Peak' was darker than the control.

How are you getting on?
I'm feeling a bit miffed. We DTD the evening of my static and haven't since. The weather has been far too hot, DH even slept in the spare room last night because it's cooler than our bedroom. Feeling like we've missed our chance again. Same thing happened last month.

Just saw on another thread that CB OPKS (blue) are £16 for 20 on Amazon atm. And the pink ones at £8! Bargain

@ALew15 I've just checked and all 23 (yes, 23) of mine have a faint second line and they aren't getting darker. Think that's me out for the month, I don't think I'm going to ovulate.

Sounds like you did it on the most important day, but yes very frustrating. Maybe you need to have a chat with your DH? We went through a stage of not dtd regularly enough and I remember losing my shit once, throwing my Ava tracker at him saying 'this isn't going to get me pregnant you know! We need to have sex too!' Like a crazy lady 😂 now he is much much better and just knows we need to dtd every other day. That's probably because he's getting as impatient as me too..! (Absolutely would not recommend the Avas btw).

I am fed up to be honest. I even tried fertility yoga yesterday, which I actually did find relaxing and did help, but I'm too annoyed to do it today. I don't think I can stand listening to the stupid affirmations

@ALew15 don't forget our pact!!!!!

@Daffodil21 we've already had many chats! To be fair, he's so much better this month. I can totally blame the heat though, it wiped us both out.
Definitely sticking to the pact. I'm not buying any OPKs. They consumed me this month. First thing I thought of when I woke up in the morning and it set my mood for the day. Can't go through that again. I've considered deleting all apps/MN from my phone too.

We should start a new thread 'The angry impatient TTC Group' 😂

@Daffodil21 I always have faint lines on the CB ones leading up to my peak.

@ALew15 me and my hubby am have been the same, I was in a bit of a grump the other day as we didn’t DTD for three days as he was feeling a bit unwell🙈 selfish I know but I was a bit miffed...

Thank you for posting about the CB’s on Amazon I’ve just ordered some of the purple ones!! Can’t believe they are marked up as £50 for 20 usually 😶😶

@ALew15 I'm not either. I've been the same, especially as I still haven't had a fucking smiley. Glad your DH is getting better - I can't relate to the heat I'm afraid being in Scotland 😂

@Dreaming101 Do you have a second one the whole time before your peak, or when you're getting to your peak? Completely natural to feel like that if you don't dtd when you feel you should!

@ALew15 I actually have deleted MN before (before this group), but I just ended up reinstalling it 🙈

@Dreaming101 I was exactly the same. I turned over in a huff when he didn't fancy it. His response of 'uhhhh fine' wasn't really doing it for me and I didn't want another argument at bed time 😂

Amazon knows everyone is going baby making mad!

Still haven't booked onto that trip to Madrid DH's sisters are planning. They've moved the date forward now to 27th March.. would be around the date I'd be due if we did get pregs so still in limbo about booking on atm.
