@candycrush2298 I remember you mentioning messing up this cycle with CB. The easy at home ones are amazing, I think you’ll love them.

Well you never know, you just have to have BDed during your fertile window to be in with the chance. Keep positive. Fingers crossed she doesn’t arrive 😄😄😄

Definitely keep positive, the way I see it is there are people who don’t get periods properly and they manage to conceive so we’ve at least got the first bit ticked we get a period every month. The other positive is your ovulating. These are massive in the world of fertility. I personally think whatever it is will be quite minor and you can sort it out in a few steps. Now that they are opening up everything you should be getting that call very soon!

candycrush2298 · 10/07/2020 23:23

@Elakiya I completely agree with you. Keep positive!!! And to feed my addiction I will be POAS in the morning. Who knows when Amazon will deliver my easy@home may only be able to test with them on Sunday using FMU but I will be 12dpo then so if there is anything it should pick it up as they are also 10miu so also very sensitive.

I am off to bed ladies, had one busy day at work today. Chat to you all in the morning.

Cannot believe we are over 400 messages and only one lady has had AF whahahahah we talk a lot 😂😂😂😂 but I love it...... keeps me sane so thanks all for not judging my terrible addictions and the need to POAS whahahaha!!!

Guess what.... still flashing 🥺🥺 that's been a week now. Will BD tonight though just in case. I have ordered easy@home OPKs and a thermometer. I'm going to see what happens next cycle!

candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 11:16

@ReginaaPhalange ahhhhh no!!! Well yeah BD anyway and OK next cycle you me, and @Elakiya need to use our femometer to track our cycle. @Kaybobx said she can't do it and @snapple21 was going to buy one but not sure if she did.

OP posts:
snapple21 · 11/07/2020 11:27

@ReginaaPhalange I did an opk last night and mines still pretty dark! Angry who knows what is happening!

I never ended up buying the Femometer - I may do next month!

Elakiya · 11/07/2020 12:38

@candycrush2298 yh we really need to 😅 but due to lockdown I never wake up at the same time. If I could sort out my sleep schedule I could try and do it.

Did you see the thread about monitoring heart rate? I have a Fitbit maybe I should try that?

candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 14:26

@snapple21 how many dpo are you? Was it positive? Could be pg... hehehehehe

@Elakiya I know but we need to so we can be sure we actually doing it right hahah.
And no I didn't see the thread??? What does it say I wear my fitbit all the time never take it off (only to charge or shower)

OP posts:
Boc86 · 11/07/2020 15:23

@ReginaaPhalange that’s a pain for you!

2dpo going so slowwwww

Elakiya · 11/07/2020 17:15

@candycrush2298 I didn’t post in it so can’t find it anymore. But basically I went and read an article on it
www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/59279-heart-rate-fertility-tracking.html

It basically says that our resting heart rate will increase by 2bps during our fertile window. There is a bit of doubt on whether this is true but as you have your Fitbit on all the time why don’t you check for us?

candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 17:32

@Elakiya I am not sure, I read the article and mine went up the day after my AF started and then dropped low and then went high again then dropped low and then went high again over the last few weeks and today its dropped again hahaha so ummmm for me thats certainly not accurate but it could be because I am more active on a weekend then during the week so think I drop over the weekend and rise during the week dont think its got anything to do with my cycle. Sorry....

OP posts:
Elakiya · 11/07/2020 18:32

@candycrush2298 oh dear 😅😅😅 ah well I still should get my Fitbit on just to monitor my activity levels. So your resting heart rate was all over the place? Disappointed that didn’t work because it’s such an easy thing to monitor all you have to do is wear your Fitbit.

candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 18:49

@Elakiya yeah mine has been all over the place. Haha. Maybe yours will be better. You should still try it!!!

hannah88j · 11/07/2020 19:22

@candycrush2298 I'm 6dpo today. I ovulate really early this month on CD10... no idea why as I normally ovulate on CD12 every month! But AF was 4 days late last month because of chemical so that may be why. I've been ok so far - really trying not to focus on the TWW this month and just enjoy time with my family and friends. It's making the time pass quicker which is good!

How are you doing this month? X

candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 19:27

@hannah88j that sounds great that you are distracted I ovulated CD11 and I am 11dpo today. Been using these pro matris tests which were showing positives results but I did a FRER and it was negative so I am thinking that the tests are dodgy and I am definitely not pg. Bought some easy@home tests which I will test with in the morning. Been getting loads of AF pains and not much other symptoms so dont think we were successful this month. Xx

Kaybobx · 11/07/2020 19:39

Hey everyone, wow about 3 pages since i was last on yesterday haha!!

Hows everyone's symptoms today?

Ive been getting some mild cramping. Decided to do a OPK test as the cramps feel like ovulation does. Take a look at this test. Do you think im going to ovulate again? Im 5DPO today

AF Due 20/07
candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 20:39

@Kaybobx wow thats crazy I am not sure but like I always say just BD in case hahahaha!!!

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 11/07/2020 20:43

@candycrush2298 haha!! I knew you'd say that 😂😂😂😂
I know i said i wouldn't use the opks anymore but i literally feel like i do when I'm ovulating. Will try again tomorrow and BD later if i can be bother haha! Just been out for food, im stuffed ugh!

candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 20:53

@Kaybobx hahaha you don't have a shot if you don't BD. What CD are you? Wouldn't it be really late to ovulate now? Have you ever ovulated this late in your cycle before? Didn't you get a static face with CB? Those are usually spot on aren't they?

I am sure its just a fluctuation like I had which is why we shouldn't take opks after the peak LOL!!!!

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 11/07/2020 21:01

@candycrush2298 we shouldn't POAS 1DPO but we still do hahaha!!!
Im 5DPO today but i actually ovulated early this cycle (yes i had a static on CB and backed up with cheapies) i ovulated on day 12 but im usually around day 17 hence why I'm questioning it abit as someone mentioned before about ovulating twice.
Ah what the hell I'll just keep BDing 😂

Hows your testing going? What DPO are you now?

candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 21:11

@Kaybobx oh right yeah i can see why you questioning it and it was me thinking about ovulating twice and apparently its impossible according to Dr Google you just didnt ovulate the first time. Only way to know for sure which time you actually did ovulate is by temping because the ovulation dip means you definitely ovulated.

And I am 11dpo and all tests are negative no more positives so really think to everyone STAY AWAY from pro matris hahahahah. As I definitely think those were false positives. Will test in the morning with easy@home cheapies and then I will be 12dpo so if it picks nothing up I am going to guess that I am definitely not pg. Although I will still test with the cheapies until AF arrives because I am awful like that 😂😂😂😂😂

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 11/07/2020 21:24

@candycrush2298 i can't be bothered with the temperature testing. I just forget, maybe i should make more effort next cycle haha. Hopefully i don't have to though.
Ok, i definitely ovulated already. I had the opk and CB confirmation with loadsss of EWCM. Will just BD until my AF date 😂 haha!
I feel so bad for being super confident about your test and it being false. Im so sorry! I was so confident that was a positive. Some people dont get positives until 14-15DPO so you keep going girl and test anyway. Have you had much symptoms? My cramping feels weird today but probably over thinking it.

candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 21:30

@Kaybobx oh please do not be sorry!!! I appreciate the positivity and encouragement so please always be excited hahahahah!!!

Yes you have ovulated this is us overthinking remember this exact thing happened to me last Sunday with a test that looked very similar to yours and the next day it was light so chances are yours will be lighter tomorrow. But BD anyway you never know whahahaha!!!

And yes I will keep testing this cycle is supposed to have upto latest 16dpo (which likely won't happen) as I have never had such a long luteal phase. So will keep on testing and yes you have the right attitude hopefully there won't be a next cycle and we won't have to temp at all 😄😄😄😄😄

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 21:32

ooooooh I hope your cramps mean something!!!

Think I have been overthinking my symptoms as I have been having weird feelings in both my ovaries and then some weird feelings in the lower region but like you I may just be overthinking it.

The only constant on and off noticable symptom I have is AF cramps.

OP posts:
Elakiya · 11/07/2020 21:33

@candycrush2298 i doubt it would be any better for me. I think everyone would know about this amazing way to track fertility if it worked really well lol. I need to find that thread and see what they actually said.

@Kaybobx Agreeing with Candycrush2298 BD tonight to be on the safe side.

I have zero symptoms. My easy @ home ovulation + pregnancy strips arrived today. I really want to test with the pregnancy strips but just going with the opks to fuel the addiction.

candycrush2298 · 11/07/2020 21:36

@Elakiya yeah at least with an opk you get a feint line each time and it satisfies the poas addiction!!!

Heres to hoping for many BFPs this cycle for us all 💜💜
