Anyone missing just let me know your next testing date xx

@SmileyT yes I have PCOS but quite asymptomatic apart from very irregular periods, but we know I ovulate because i have a DD who's just turnt 3, but I've never really tracked my cycle using OPK until after my mc. I know I can have multiple surges but not necessarily ovulate but im hopeful just because the surge hasnt been that high before...so fingers crossed it's happening. Yeah AF would be due around 9th July if she arrives x

@Hopeful110 oh yeah that makes sense... will you keep testing with the opks, I found it useful to see my pattern throughout the whole cycle x

@SmileyT
Yeah definitely, it would be good to know what my cycle looks like, so il definitely be tracking throughout until hopefully I get BFP,
Have you ever used the CB digital ovulation test? I've heard alot about it but didn't know if it would actually be better than a standard poas x

@Hopeful110 i used CB digital for the first time this cycle after my CP last cycle and I thought they were great. You start on the day the leaflet inside says and I had 4 days of low then 3 days of high then my peak and you can't use it again on thag cycle as the peak stays on the screen for 48 hours and you would mess up the monitor if you used it again after. But as it turns out I'm not even sure i ovulated or I may have ovulated ag a much later date as my peak was on CD15 which would be inline with my normal cycle length and now I'm CD50 and I'm normally a 28-30 day cycle so not sure how much help this was but just thought I'd say my experience! X

@SmileyT I think I'm 1dpo too, when do you think you'll test? I wasn't expecting AF for 4 weeks but now it obviously should come sooner 🤷🏼‍♀️
@Minster2012 fair play for trying the wheelbarrow whilst hungover! I managed a quickie on the living room floor as we were invited to a garden party last minute and thought I was ovulating so needed to do it before we got drunk 🤣
Missionary is my fave anyway for deep penetration but legs in the air and together is guaranteed orgasms for me 👌

@lucyrp oh really? Yeah I've read abit about them and they seem good, one youtuber used the easy@home opk and once she started getting a good second line she used the CB along side it and she did get a static smiley face on the same day she got her peak with premom opk . I might try it next month and see what it does for me x

@Hopeful110 yeah with the CB you only test once a day first thing in the morning but with other OPKs you can test how many times you want and you don't do it with FMU. But you may miss your actual ovulation if you only use CB as I think that's what may have happened with me. My body may have tried to ovulate and didn't or it may have tried again at a later date but obviously I don't know as I stopped once I got my peak as you're supposed to x

@lucyrp so would you maybe use both next time? CB in morning and other one in the afternoon/evening? I'm the same as in I just dont know if this is a surge without ovulation or whether I'm actually ovulating, i guess time will tell! I keep having like hot flashes but I dont know if that's just me being anxious or whether it's a symptom of ovulation x

@Hopeful110 personally I would do both because of my experience this time! I'm struggling this cycle I didn't think I would use the cheap OPKs at all because I would obsess over them but I bought a pack after my period didn't arrive and have been doing one every now and again when I remember to see what's going on and I've just been getting high readings ever since! X

@lucyrp ohh have you? Are you taking any pre conception capsules or anything? I read they can sometimes make your cycles longer? Or are you hoping AF shows up now? So you can start fresh with the tracking? X

@lucyrp when I brought the opks i thought ohh il just test once a day to get an idea of how it works...now I'm slightly obsessed with them haha! X

@Hopeful110 nope I'm not taking any vitamins or anything different to usual! I'm hoping AF shows up or by some miracle a BFP😂 I'm unsure as to whether I've had another CP this month because I had a faint positive at 18dpo and negatives since ☹️c

@Hopeful110 that's what I thought and then I did them 3 times a day 😂 x

@lucyrp ahhh ok, I'll keep my fingers crossed for a BFP for you soon! You never know though. My dd was my little miracle! I hope it wasnt a CP for you though 🙁 what's your plan of action for the next few weeks? X

@Hopeful110 if you have long cycles and PCOS I wouldn't bother with CB because you can't see the line and can't test throughout the month. It also wouldn't be able to predict when to start testing so would cost a bomb on a long cycle, I've used them the last 3 months and they just say the exact same thing as the cheapie ones. But give it a go if you fancy a change x

@SarahTTC2020 think I'll test on the 8th July when I'll be 11dpo, when are you thinking about testing? x

@Hopeful110 i have a DS who's 5 and had another pregnancy so I know I can get pregnant but different things have happened since as I had a termination and I've been on the depo contraceptive so worried incase they've affected my fertility. It will be my first with OH but I have got pregnant with him once before. I think I will ring the doctors at the end of next week again to see what they say if anything as I've been in contact with them since last cycle with my CP and spoke to them this cycle too but they said they won't do bloods until day 21 of next cycle x

@SmileyT ohhh fair enough, maybe il see how these easy@home ones go for now then 😊

@lucyrp ahhh it's so frustrating isnt it!? When you know you can get pregnant but it just isnt happening when we want it to :( hopefully your doctors will do the bloods for you now, but keep your glass half full and il keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you and that BFP soon 🤗 xx

@Hopeful110 it is frustrating especially since we've been trying since August last year, my periods returned in December so technically only 7 months but in total it's basically 12 months that's why they're doing the 21 day bloods next cycle. I only started tracking this cycle because of my CP last cycle. Hope you can figure everything out x

@lucyrp oh wow it must feel like an eternity for you though? I really hope they can work it out for you! I'll keep checking in to see how you get on over the next few weeks x

@SmileyT yeah Fitbit has AF coming 11th so I don't know whether to wait until after then; see so many be disappointed with cp that I think I'd rather not know!

I am sooo tired today. Don't know if it's just wishful thinking (probably) but I have felt different this TWW to the others. I've felt extremely tired, bloated, had weird 'sensations' (can't say they were pains) around uterus area and had pink tinged CM plus the odd pink blood spots in underwear the last few days. Obviously could all be explained by a multitude of different things, not necessarily good things either, and only 7DPO so too early to tell anything anyway!

@Ltay2 definitely sounds like pregnancy symptoms you are having. Especially the spotting and sensations, I had that when I was pregnant. As you say not painful but weird feeling. When do you plan to test?

@Katao I am going to aim to wait until 14DPO so that's next Sunday but if I can't wait then definitely no earlier than 12DPO!

@SarahTTC2020 love the quickie before you get drunk, the things we do 😂

@Blodyn91 I love a spa, there's a titanic spa not a million miles away from us that's lovely

I can't believe there's still nothing for you @Lucyrp 😫😕

@Ltay2 that sounds so hopeful!

We had a lovely but tough joint Pilates workout at lunchtime today then another joint shower & workout session 🥰💕I'm loving preseed as a general lubricant, we will probably keep buying it anyway

I didn't mention the other day that after the rubbish news on the ovulation front & not having had anything through from the IVF clinic I phoned the clinic & they say they've had the letter from my oncologist (weird as I've not had my copy) & to call them with my July period & they will see if they can get me in then for assessment if they aren't too busy

@Ltay2 you have more patience than I do so! I'm hoping to wait until 12dpo but might be 11dpo if I can't hold out. Although if i keep feeling completely non pregnant I might not be in such a rush 😂
