@kwastell I can see the line. Tentative congratulations to you,🙂

oh @Kwastell, I can see an early line. Gentle hopeful congratulations.

Ooooh this looks good and hopeful

Nice to hear some good news 😘 keep us updated x

Tentative congratulations @kwastell. Hopefully it keeps getting darker for you 🤞🤞

Thanks everyone 🤞

Now to try and not obsessively test!

@kwastell keeping everything crossed for you! Was there anything in particular that made you want to test or you just couldn’t wait?

@Muda I've been feeling sick in the mornings. But mainly impatience!

@Muda 7DPO and I'm not feeling optimistic this month 😕

@kwastell cautiously optimistic for you, fingers crossed.

On a separate note, does anyone use a menstrual cup? I’m trying an organicup this month - definitely a convert. So much more comfortable than tampons or pads, and I swear it has reduced period pain

@kwastell @lastditchattempt20 I think I am about 11dpo and the only symptom I can track on my ovia app is feeling impatient, which isn’t that helpful as it’s the tww and I’m always impatient during that! I’ve also been sneezing a lot today but as that isn’t an option on the symptom tracker I’m guessing my house just needs a good dusting 😂

@kwastell all best wishes coming your way. 🙂

@mouldygrapes yes I started a couple of months ago. It's really good! Weird seeing what comes out though, like I had no clots, was able to pour it out pure liquid 🙈 Feels a lot cleaner and I didn't think it would!

Have been using it after DTD too as I thought it was worth a shot to keep the swimmers in... 🤷🏼‍♀️

@kwastell Sending lots of good vibes your way, I hope it's a sticky bean x

@kwastell did you test again today?

@Muda of course I tested 😂

Better than yesterday (my husband can see if now) but still quite faint. Is a bit more obvious than it looks on the picture.

@kwastell haha stupid question! It does look like the line is getting darker.

I think I am the same dpo as you and I really want to test but as I have zero symptoms I think I’ll just be setting myself up for disappointment. So just going to try stick it out and wait to see if AF shows up. Only only 2-5 days to go 😩

Ahhh @kwastell I really hope this one is sticky for you!

Good luck @Muda

I have no idea what dpo I am as I'm trying not to sit and actively think about it and work it out. We only dtd once this month the day before ov as I just couldn't be bothered and needed a break from it all so pretty much no chance anyway.

Im 13 dpo. I think AF will come about cd 24 im cd 22 today. Last month I had lots of AF symptoms but none this month. I did frer and bfn. Im just gonna have to wait. Next cycle im taking no prisoners. Xx

@lucieloos I've had so much work on we just managed last night and I should be ovulating today/tomorrow. I figure what will be will be!

@Sleeeeeepy yes same, we tried really hard last month and this month I feel the same. We've been busy and what will be will be. At least we did it the once so have a small chance and it wasn't missed altogether but I guess we need some months to just take it a bit easier as well.

Same here @lucieloos and @Sleeeeeepy we didn’t dtd as much as usual and prob last time was approx 2 days prior to ov but been so busy it’s been quite nice not to even think about it this month!

🤞 @kwastell hope it keeps getting darker for you!

@Loladoodle @lucieloos I'm glad it's not just me! I'm feeling more chilled about it because of too much work which is probably not a bad thing!

@kwastell every crossed for you!!!

I'm 5dpo, I'd forgotten how long the tww felt

Looking good @kwastell, fingers crossed for you and congratulations @Homassy.

Is it ok If I join back in after a week away. Feeling more myself this week after some tough stuff IRL.

I’m CD9 and unexpectedly got my static smiley this morning after a flashie yesterday. Last month got it on CD11 after 3 flashies (think I missed the early point of the peak). My cycle seems to be levelling at 25/26 days so if the peak means you ovulate 24/48 hours later I’m wondering if I’ll ovulate late day 10 (tomorrow)/early day 11which would sort of fit with cycle.

I’m assuming nothing to worry about if ovulation moves by a day or so every so often? It’s only cycle 3 off the pill and cycle 2 using OPKs...

I’ll check for EWCM later... luck we DTD yesterday as we’re following SMEP!

@FridaKFangirl glad you are feeling better this week. I Think ovulating at different times in your cycles is normal? I don’t think I ovulate the same time every month.

Ovia told me I could take a pg test today and I was sooo close to doing it but I refrained somehow! AF is meant to be here soon so I’m going to try and stick it out
