I'm on CD25 AF due 2nd July, potentially no ovulation this month or my body just refuses to budge on temp 😩

If anyone else would like to join please do xx

@VP91x yeah I'm going to try not to temp tomorrow because I have been feeling fine and positive and just analysing the temps isn't helping just stressing me out, but knowing me I'll be on autopilot and still temp at 5am 😂

Happy Friday ladies . So I’m now on cd 9. After the strangest of cycles last month were I experienced very strong ovulation type pains twice , exactly a week apart , mid cycle spotting and horrendous cramping for over a week I have to say I was very relieved that my first proper full force af post mmc in April finally showed face . Hopefully a positive sign that my body’s now reset itself and I can start to move forward . Although I have a rough idea of when I tend to ovulate I decided to try the cb Digital this month to see if it helps . 2nd day of using it and had a static face Both days . Flo app which I was using before when I fell with the twins has me down to ovulate in Monday so will see how it goes from here . Going to try and be as relaxed about it as possible and keep myself busy but so lovely to pop on here and be greeting with more bfp’s and early pregnancy updates each time . Gives the rest of us a little more hope that our time will come soon too 😊💕

@SmileyT I literally reach out for my themometer before I'm even fully awake 😂 crazy isn't it, but yes anything to keep the PMA!! How's your day?

@Girlmum83 glad you got a new cycle! Are you always an early ovulater? Once you get your static smiley on the CB reader it won't read anymore tests for 48hrs it will just stay static so don't waste anymore sticks 🥰 after 48hrs it resets itself anyway so it might show you a blank circle again if you tested. Good luck for this month xx

@VP91x which cycle day are you on now, is FW approaching soon for you? Any more news from your GP on that scan?

@mrsssk I'm on CD5 now, normally I haven't got a peak up until CD20 onwards hut I'm taking soy isoflavones this month to bring forward ovulation so unsure what this month will bring. I'm hoping it will be much earlier! How are you getting on xx

@VP91x hoping the next week or so goes quickly for you then! I did some reading on soy iso's, it looks promising, hope it does the trick for you fx! Do you have any plans for the weekend? x

I THINK I may be in my TWW now (after false positive OPKs earlier this month) - attached a pic of my OPKs couple of posts back. Just feels like the longest wait ever and I'm impatient at the best of times. On top of that work has been a bit shit, nothing really moved while I was off sick so have come back to a mountain of stuff to do - all urgent! Shouldn't complain though as not needing to commute into Canary Wharf every day with the lockdown easing.
Think the weekend calls for some hard core relaxation to take the mind off of things

@MichT4 massive congratulations so pleased for you ☺️. Xx

@Hayleylou89 congrats on baby being a boy what lovely news 😊. Xx

@VP91x thanks for that 😊 All new to me so I will save the sticks now and retest in few days . yes although I’ve never tracked with tests before I’m pretty certain from the very sore And obvious ovulation pains that I always ovulated around day 12/13 in the past . Really hope this is your lucky month too x

@mrsssk thank you! Yeah definitely, don't want to be waiting for so long to ovulate.

Oh fab yeah just had a look, they got really dark and faded. Are you tracking on an app too? Won't be long now until you can test🤞

How annoying!! What do you do for work? Yeah the thought of commuting doesn't appeal to me anymore. So many people barging past you etc. X

@Girlmum83 you're welcome 🥰 once you get your static as @MichT4 normally you would ovulate 12-36hrs after. Definitely ger DTD if you have a chance. Lots of luck xxx

@Girlmum83 good luck with your peak! 🤞🏽Interesting that so many people get ovulation pains, I've never noticed it myself before but never paid attention prior to TTC 🤦🏽‍♀️

@vp91x I'm an accountant, not the most exciting of jobs lol but thankfully one that can easily be done from home.
I'm tracking on femometer and Glow (was tracking my pregnancy on that and paid for the premium version so have stuck with it)

I quite like Glow but it doesn't seem to change ovulation based on test results 🤷🏽‍♀️ Hoping it sorts itself out once a proper AF comes along.

Any better ones out there that people would recommend?

I’m on currently on cd who knows 🤣 it’s 24 days since the mva so could be classed as cd 24 🤔. I got a static smiley today on cb but it’s the first clear blue one I’ve done this month and I’m sceptical about it, still not convinced totally that there’s no confusion with hcg. One step opk came back fairly dark but I wouldn’t have said peak. It’s all very confusing... I’m trying not to get too bogged down with it this time until I had had af and know where I am with things. Hope everyone is having a good Friday, glad it’s the weekend! Although the weather is terrible where I am

Thank you @HE88

@mrsssk funny you should say that, just back from an ikea trip. Not as leisurely as @VP91x seemed to enjoy but wasn’t too bad. Spent too much on stuff I don’t need. As is the usual.

I take two in the morning and two at night

@VP91x I hope so! I was going to test again today but decided it was excessive 😂

@SmileyT you are still above cover line. Anything can happen from here 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@mrsssk that's cool, yeah good that you can do it from home! Will you continue to do so for the forseeable?

On Glow do you have a ovulation log option? You can normally adjust it that way I've found 😊 I've never used Glow, but unless you do BBT I reckon it's probably as good as any other!

@Northernsoul90 ooh, I wonder if CB detects hcg like the LH strips do 🤔 will you DTD anyway to cover it in case? What does your OPK look like?

@MichT4 I'm jealous of your IKEA trip! Might go again next week 😂 what did you get x

@VP91x I went mainly for a bathroom cabinet. I didn’t come back with a bathroom cabinet 😂

I got loads of fake plants, also a real one (which is risky because I’m terrible with plants!), lampshades, a candle, plant pots, tea light holder, pens and paper for nieces and nephews (essential 🙄) and a laundry basket for wet washing as I now have a washing line. Oh and daim bars 😂😂

I think that was it. I could go mad in there xx

@MichT4 the calc fluor arrives tomorrow thanks to amazon so I'll start ASAP, thanks for that. And yeah no self control when it comes to Ikea, got my eye on 2 things, fully expect to come out with 20 odd.
Maybe do a digi in a week or so if you've still got the urge to test? Try and enjoy it as much as you might be low key stressing x

@VP91x I'll have to play around with the app a bit more to find the option. Working from home until at least September we've been told which sounds good but need some company apart from DH, I'm actually sick of the sight of him now 😂

Defo adding Daim cheesecake thing to my trolley when I go too! 🤣

@MichT4 oh I'm so glad it's not just me, I am sooo bad with plants yet I fill my house with them in the hope that they may live.

Sounds like a good haul 👌 I do need some more bedding.. 👀

@mrsssk haha, honestly spending this much time with your partner isn't normal. So right there with you. That's good though that you will be doing that. X

@VP91x I was told once that chilli plants were indestructible and I killed one 😂

@mrsssk yeah I’ll definitely do another one (or 4) at some point. Scares me though, this should be pure excitement!
Low stress is certainly the plan xx

@mrsssk omg daim cheesecake 🤤 I had forgotten about it-I absolutely love it 😁

I came home from IKEA so happy, because I knew about the test now. I want to feel like that all the time, I need to work on it. I came home then thought my boobs weren’t as sore or I didn’t feel as sick 😭
Need to snap the hell out of it.

Any nice plans this weekend? xx

@MichT4 so jealous of your Ikea adventure 😁 I miss going to Ikea 😫 OH thinks there will be lots of queuing so I'm not allowed a trip there yet 🙄

Did you take calc fluor all throughout the cycle or do you have to stop at a certain time?

@MichT4 😂😂😂 I have alot of orchids which also are meant to last a while, but I've been known to kill a few. Terrible isnt it

Xx

@MichT4 nooo don't think like that, I know it must be so hard but honestly you'll drive yourself crazy and have underlying stress. Always remember the odds are in your favour!!, ❤️❤️
