AF Due 20/07

[candycrush2298]

Continuation from thread AF due 20/06

@candycrush2298 the symptom spotting is just rubbish too. Ive been convinced im pregnant for the last 10 months lol.

Ooo that monitor sounds abit difficult for both. I'll stick to what i know 😂
Has your cup arrived yet?

We are going to have a 10 page thread again by the time out TWW comes haha

@Kaybobx yes I know I have watched so many videos and most people say they have standard PMS symptoms so whatever no point symptom spotting it helps me nothng 🤣 yeah the monitor is great and would have been great if I started it on the first day I started AF so thats why it is driving me mental. Hahahaha but its all I got in terms of OPKs this month so its what I am using.

Haha no my cup hasn't arrived yet and yours??

I know we gonna need a new thread by the time we have all ovulated😆😆😆

Yes I wish I'd just got the sticks now too. This monitor isn't the same as the one I trialled. It has bars instead of smilies. I want smilies lol. I am on cycle day 8 today.

@snapple21 I have replied to your message like 5 times trying to upload a picture and it says success but then the message never appears. Waz trying to show you my monitor. Was yours the original one first time around and the one you have now a touch screen???

I have the touch screen one. It says highly fertile for me today so at least I am definitely in my fertile window. I also read the lines on the stick before inserting into the monitor lol and the test line is darker than yesterday so thinking I am gearing up and may just O on the 1st of July as per my app on my ohone but it could vary - as I do vary monthly (and this could be due to my shockingly bad ability to read the cheap OPKs🤣)

Hi ladies,

I posted on the last thread but I’m unsure if you remember - I’m the one who ovulated twice this month.

I got my BFP yesterday at 11days dpo and the only symptom I have is that my boobs feel very slightly heavy and I’ve had some cramps, just like I would if AF was coming but 5 days sooner. I wouldn’t have even took a test if we weren’t ttc so try not to worry too much about symptom spotting (I know this is wayyyy easier said than done!). I also wouldn’t have conceived if it wasn’t for the second ovulation this month, so glad I took that OPK when I did. Just thought I’d share incase any of you have extra long random cycles as it may be that you’re ovulating again.

Good luck and sending baby dust xxx

@Pasto2 oh my goodness congratulations!!! Thats incredible. I am so pleased for you so turns out it was brilliant that you had a second chance. I remember you were upset as you thought you were a few DPO and then you ovulated again turns out it was a blessing. And thank you for sharing your symptoms. I know symptom spotting is really bad hahah. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy xx

Thank you so much, I have everything crossed for all of you xx

@Pasto2 Oh wow congratulations!!! 💐 so happy for you. Thanks for sharing.

@candycrush2298 @snapple21 sorry been absent this weekend. We've started a new garden projected and ripped up all of our decking which was a job and a half!! Busy, busy, busy!
How are you both getting on with the monitor now? My cup hasnt arrived yet but got a while until my ovulation yet lol.

@Kaybobx thats good gives you a great distraction hahah. My monitor is behaving now lol!!!! Its doing what I want it to and picking up the rise in estrogen so I'm definitely in my fertile window whahahaha.

Oh yes and my cup came so going to test it this afternoon inserting and BD tonight hahahaha.

@candycrush2298 ah brilliant, let me know how you get on with it. Its got to feel weird but then tampons you cant really feel so who knows haha! I can't wait to be super weird this month with a cup in and my legs up the wall.

Ive just brought some more ovulation strips off ebay to go with my CB digital. They are only £3 something so no big loss. Got 10 pregnancy strips with also so can test everyday i like haha!!

Yes so glad we have a distraction. Me and my husband are so impulsive! We get an idea and have to have it straight away. We seen on insta this gorgeous garden with a pagoda and open fire pit so we need to copy it 😁 ripped up our decking and going to get some posh slabs instead. Its going to be a big job but keeps us busy! Just hopefully not too tired to BD!! Im not back to work yet as i work in a gym so we're waiting on Bozza to give the nod.. got too much time on my hands atm.

@Kaybobx Thank you so much

@Kaybobx lol I will let you know how it works out hahahahahah.

Lol I get the impulsiveness and wow you must have loads of free time not working. Which is great especially when you have a great big project on your hands now haha. Ooooh insta and Pinterest have some amazing freaken ideas. Sounds like its going to be a beautiful garden. Love the fire pit.

We are also impulsive mainly with our spending habits we feel we need a change like we want a new colour scheme for the kitchen and bam we shopping hahahaha.

Oooooh yay for free preg tests now you won't even feel bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i don't have any cheapies 😭😭😭😭😭😭 sucks to be me might have to just slip some in my basket.... lol nooo I need will power i have calm the f down this month.

Hi guys.

I feel really like I'm starting to prepare to ovulate today which is a lot earlier than last month. I'm only cd11 today. But I am bloated with some pains in my side. No ewcm yet. Gonna do a cheap ov test when I get home from work. And maybe have sex tonight in case 😂

It's weird that I have noticed I sometimes alternate cycles of 28 days then 35 days. Wonder if it depends what ovary it's coming out of? And one has a shorter cycle? Is that even possible!

@snapple21 oh wow OK, that is a lot earlier than last month LOL. I am CD10 and pretty sure I am close to O as well. The monitor says just high but I was pretty sure it should have found a peak as the amount of EWCM is unbelievable. These pregnacare vitamins are 100% doing their job I haven't had this much CM in forever. I agree just have sex in case LOL! You never know hahaha.

That is an interesting theory I am not sure, I haven't really found a difference depending on what side. Is this the first time you are paying attention to it? Like have you noticed your left side give you a longer/shorter cycle and vice versa?

LOL I passed out at like 9pm last night so no BD or using the cup sorry @Kaybobx will BD tonight and let you know LOL has yours arrived.?

I've just looked and I'm actually day 12. Will be interested to see what the ovulation test says when I get home!!! Might try the cup tonight😷

Just done a test. Not quite positive but close! I predict I'll ov in the next 72 hours x

Only cycle day 7 for me, soooo long to go. No my cup or strips havent arrived yet. Still got a while to go though so its ok.

Ive literally not had sex since last cycle! Ive completely lost my drive!!! I don't know if its because i keep getting negatives each month, im getting old, getting lazy i dont know. I just can not be bothered. Not good 😭

Has anyone had tugging sensations before they got a positive pregnancy test? My period is quite late and I have had a tugging sensation in my tummy for 3 days but negative tests. I dont know what is going on.

@snapple21 thats great at least its close. Happy BD!!!!! The monitor still says high but I really think its close my boobs are sore and feeling bloated so really hope I am not one those people that just get high through their cycle but never get the peak Imma be mad lol!!!

@Kaybobx ahhhhhhhh noooooo!!!! At least you are still a few days out before you ovulate. Hoping you find your zen soon xx

@angber I had those sensations and my AF started but I was only 1 day out before it started so not sure. What CD are you on and when did you ovulate?

Hey Guys

I was wondering where everyone went and then realised we were meant to be posting on a new thread 😅.

@Pasto2 congratulations 🥳. I don’t tend to test after my first peak but having read this I think I should.

@Boc86 I ovulated on CD 21 as well last month ☹️. Someone I worked with said she ovulated late as well. She had successful pregnancies using clomid though.

@snapple21 @candycrush2298 @Kaybobx I can’t stop chuckling at the cup idea but am tempted to try too. Based on last month I won’t ovulate until 9th July so I could order it.

I’ve been taking my pregnacare religiously, also taking vitamin D, iron tablets and inositol. I’ve ordered preseed (got it off amazon for £6.47). When do you use it? I think it’s only got like 9 syringes so is it best to wait for the day of your LH surge and then use it?

I’ve been temping as well and it’s been awful lol, my temperature is just all over the place 😂😂😂. I genuinely don’t find it helpful at all but I am going to try and do it for a full month to see if I can spot anything.

I can’t remember who mentioned it but I noted that someone said they were using the CB monitor as it was easier to take to their appointment. There is an app called Femometer, it lets you take a picture of your opk and detects whether it’s low/high or peak LH levels. You can use any OPK tests it doesn’t have to be the same brand. I use easy @ home tests.

I also stick mine in a book incase I need to take it to my gynae (also because I like sticking them in a book 😳)

@Kaybobx I completely know how you feel about the low sex drive. I am exactly the same. It feels like a chore every month having sex every other day is just tiring.
