24th June - 4th July Testing Buddies (thread 2)

[Wyewaving]

I hope @littlebee1990 doesn't mind me starting a new thread as our old one was full...

Congratulations to @SK2970 who had just posted a positive test!

(Point me in the right direction if I've missed a new thread)

@1992EM LOL, if we're not pregnant after 5 days straight of DTD in fertile week then I will be shocked 😂

@Kalecat I blooming hope it works . Can't be doing that every month 😂😂

@Kalecat definitely a peak! One more night then he can have a rest bless him

@Nottherealslimshady thank you! I hope I do too!!! 😴 you struggling to get to sleep?
I have totally done the same so much on google!

@1992EM yeah I reckon you're having ovulation pain- I usually get that too. I'm CD18 and my last two cycles were 26 days. I ovulated later this mouth so I reckon my cycle may be slightly longer by a day or two.

@Kalecat that's a good peak! Good luck!

@Fran2020 hopefully is, we dtd anyway. So hopefully the LH surge is less tomorrow as I think my oh will have a tantrum if I have another smiley face 😂 we have done our best this month and went all out so fingers crossed 😂🙈

@Fran2020 yup, usually sock on by 9! 😔

@1992EM That's good! What has your OPK been like today? Definitely sounds like you've given yourselves the best chance so fingers crossed!! 🤞🏼

@Nottherealslimshady sock on by 9?!? What do you mean?

Ahh ladies I’m getting stressed! My OPKs aren’t really advancing and my temp is dipping and I’ve not ovulated 😫 CD16 today

@fran2020 fast asleep by 9pm. Sock on=fast asleep in yorkshire 😂

@Fran2020 I have a negative opk today and a lot lighter so oh can have a night off 😂
@nottherealslimshady I also had no idea what that meant, thanks for clarifying 😂

I am now classing myself 1 dpo so let's see what happens on the 30th . Determined to not test until then or even the 31st x

@nottherealslimshady I've read that you're slightly more likely to conceive from right sided ovulation than left so that could be a good sign.

Mine felt like it was the left one this month and last month. Is it meant to alternate? Hmm back to doctor google!

@Littlebee1990 what CD have you ovulated on the last few cycles?

@Nottherealslimshady 😂 Thanks got explaining! I thought it probably meant something like that!!

@1992EM That's good! Is OH happy about that?! 😂

@DoctorBambino I always seem to feel things on my right side... which I've found strange!

@Littlebee1990 I think they're definitely advancing, you could just be ovulating late, dont get stressed just roll with it and keep DTD, sending baby dust.

@Fran2020 @1992EM now I'm wondering how many people I've said that to who thought I was bonkers! I googled it incase I'd got it wrong and it said it was a yorkshire thing 😂

@1992EM hope you've nailed it, sure you OH is happy for a rest!

@DoctorBambino ooh I'll take that! 🤞 I think its just a case of could be either side every time, like flipping a coin.

@littlebee1990 mine looked like that and then suddenly peaked. It could be you are a couple of days away from it. Just keep testing and dtd just incase. Sending lots of love x

@nottherealslimshady 🤣 I thought it was some sort of thing to help get pregnant 🤣

@fran2020 and @nottherealslim shady my oh is almost as delighted with the blank face as I was with the happy one. He was like does that mean we can just sleep 🤣🤣

@Fran2020 @1992EM @Nottherealslimshady you ladies always keep me sane!! I always usually ovulate CD15-17 but yeah perhaps it’s a little later, just worried me that my temp has dipped already! Hope you’re all ok xx

Hope everyone is keeping well! 💕
I'm joining you on the 1dpo today @1992em ✨
Yeah @littlebee1990 - they do look like they're getting darker so I'm with the girlies, probably just a bit later this month. Hope you get it soon and it doesn't drag on for you 😘
Starting my pineapple tonight 🍍🤞🏻

@Nottherealslimshady 😂 probably a few people!!

@1992EM 😂 brilliant, my partner would be the same!!! Hope he enjoys his rest!

@Littlebee1990 it could be a day or so later this month after before. They are definitely getting darker 😊 when does your temperature usually drop? I've not done temping.

@mrswilso how are you? Feeing positive?

@mrswilso I also have a fridge full of random foods they say help 🤣🤣 hope you are keeping well
@littlebee1990 Have everything crossed for you. They definitely are getting darker. I haven't been taking my temperature so not too sure how that all works. Just keep dtd 💕
@Fran2020 oh he cannot wait. I even napped today 🤣

Thank you ladies! They say for the temp you should have 3 rises and then it dips straight after ovulation but mines dropped and I’ve not ovulated yet. Xx

@1992EM now that I've actually thought about it sounds like a way to not get pregnant 😂😂

@Littlebee1990 its understandable that you're feeling a but on edge but honestly I do think its anything to worry about, stay positive :)

I'm gonna add to my list of ridiculous symptoms and say my skin is reactive as hell today. Hot red rashes all over me from the slightest pressure, I've always had this but never this bad and honestly it's something I get more at bigger weights and I'm not that fat atm 😉 havent had much of an issue with it for aages. google doctor says it's an early pregnancy symptom so I'll take it!

@nottherealslimshady 🤣🤣never even thought of that. That sounds promising. I haven't heard of that but good to have in the bank of symptoms.

@DoctorBambino is that so? I definitely ovulated right side last month, and left side this month - in fact I feel the pain right now 😂 hopefully left side doesn't impact conceiving

Thanks @1992EM - you too hun 💕
I'm doing good @fran2020 feeling cautiously optimistic 🤞🏻 we've definitely DTD at all the right times...although I think we'll be taking a break tonight, we done five in a row including the day after my highest peak, I'm back to almost baseline on the OPK sticks today...I dunno...surely it wouldn't hurt to miss tonight? I don't even think poor hubby's got anything left in him that would be of any use hahahaaa 😂
How are you getting on?

Amidst my deep google searches about ovulating on left vs. right side, apparently left side gives you a girl and right side gives you a boy? 😂 quite odd as sex of baby can't be determined yet without being fertilized by sperm?
But if it's correct, I ovulated left side this cycle, and the idea of having a daughter first has always excited DH and I 😬

@mrswilso we are also giving it a rest tonight. 4 days I'm hoping will be enough . I am back to a light line on opk and had twinges yesterday which I assume was ovulation.

Any advice on how to make grapefruit juice taste nicer? I have ordered a smoothie maker . Right now I'm downing a glass like a shot 🤣 i can't stand the taste.
