@candycrush2298 sorry what? You BD for 2hrs??? Someone please tell me im not the only one that's done after 20 mins 😂 haha!! Girl i need some of what your eating.

Glad your have your peak on the monitor!! Woohoo.

I have a consultation on Monday about the acupuncture so will keep you all posted. I work full time and have a toddler so not sure when i will get time but shall she whats offered.

Ive managed to temp 3 days in a row too go me!

candycrush2298 · 25/07/2020 16:20

@Kaybobx noooooo usually like its a long foreplay and then like 20 minutes lol but if we do it very often hubbys stamina increases and he can for way longer making it to like 2 hours (including foreplay lol) hell no would be dead if it was 2 hours straight sex whahahah!!!

I know was going to be so mad if I didn't get it whahaha!! My opks don't look much different to yesterday's so going with the monitor that today is peak lol. Now we just have to see if my temps start rising soooo interesting.

Ooooh sounds like it could be tricky hope she has appointments that work for you. Think this could be really good.

Well done on temping for 3 days in a row whoohoo!!!

Jeeze our foreplay is a quick kiss and pass me the lube hahaha!!! 2hrs wow.
We were like that when we first got together, my poor hubby, I'm not like that anymore. He's younger than me too so is defo got loads of stamina than i have effort lol.

I can't believe you are nearly at your TWW! 🙈

Elakiya · 25/07/2020 18:02

@Kaybobx I think I last about 5 mins max! Probably shorter. Sometimes if I am not in the mood but need to due to trying to conceive I set him a 1 minute timer.

@candycrush2298 Are you going to continue testing with the cheapies to see when they peak. Also please show us your graph once you ovulate 😁😁😁

Kaybobx · 25/07/2020 18:07

@Elakiya haha!! Yup we are exactly the same 😂 ovulation week is just oh hurry up will you hahaha!!

Yes @candycrush2298 interested to see your graph

candycrush2298 · 25/07/2020 18:15

@Kaybobx yeah like 2hours if we do it too often hence me saying I cant do it again tomorrow I will get too tired. Whahahahaha whaaaaat!! We only dont do foreplay when its morning sex and we need to go to work then its like you have 5 minutes and I need to be in the shower🤣🤣🤣 but yeah that only happens in every week besides fertile week cuz he will never finish in 5 minutes if we having sex all the time. Needs to be like 3 or 4 days then he can do quickies lol!

I know Monday will be 1dpo this is going to blow because I am so excited whahah.

@Elakiya you are joking you don't really set 1 minute timers? What happens if the poor guy can't perform that quick??

Yeah I think by tomorrow the cheapies opks will be light again I don't always get darker than control line. Sometimes they just as dark as control. Who knows why hahah.

Yes will need to show you like maybe Tuesday or Wednesday becuase you need 3 consecutive rises before you can confirm ovulation definitely happened. Sooo excited to see it worked. Mostly because I never thought I could temp lol

Elakiya · 25/07/2020 19:01

@candycrush2298 nope deadly serious. If he can’t perform he knows I’ll get up and leave when the timer goes off lol 😂 so he always performs 😂. For me it genuinely feels like such a chore

candycrush2298 · 25/07/2020 19:23

@Elakiya lol omg I have never heard of this before 🤣🤣🤣🤣

There's my strip from this evening. This is my peak. I unfortunately don't get those blazing positives lol!!

Kaybobx · 25/07/2020 19:47

@Elakiya hahaha!! I love it. My hubby could end quicker than a sneeze if i told him he had to too 😂😂

@candycrush2298 my peaks look like that too. I don't get blazing ones either.

Elakiya · 25/07/2020 19:49

@candycrush2298 That's still a peak ... also you already know you're ovulating as they've checked you out and found that you are. The OPK's just confirm when you're ovulating.

Also the weather has suddenly turned and its just been awful today! How's the weather where you are? We were meant to have a barbeque tomorrow but I've just checked and the forecast isn't looking too good.

candycrush2298 · 25/07/2020 20:37

@Kaybobx omg you two are the worst 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol so glad to hear yours also look like that thought I was really the odd one out 😂😂 well I am but I thought on this too. Hahahahah.

@Elakiya yeah its still a peak and yeah my progesterone tests did confirm I am ovulating I am just quite keen to see it myself with the BBT just so interested lol.

Ahhhhh no our weather has been up and down it was really warm but rained this morning and overcast the rest of the day. That sucks that there's little chance of a barbecue whats your back up plan?

OP posts:
Elakiya · 25/07/2020 21:26

@Kaybobx Lol that's hilarious! I think we've trained up our other halves quite well :P.

@candycrush2298 Haven't thought of anything back up plan wise. Will probably have a Sunday roast if the weather is rubbish.

I was thinking, both me and @ReginaaPhalange had more than a day of peaks (I had 2 days ,3 if you count the one where the test line was equal to the control line) and @ReginnaPhalange had 3 days? I am wondering if that has anything to do with our PCOS. Going to try and do some research and see what it means.

I'll be back to let you know what I have found.

ReginaaPhalange · 25/07/2020 21:29

My GP was baffled by it, so let me know if you find anything @Elakiya xx

mummyjojo19 · 25/07/2020 21:34

Hi ladies, still no sign of af and tests still negative, I am keeping everything crossed that I could still get a bfp. But in reality know af is just being awkward this month:( xxx

candycrush2298 · 25/07/2020 21:35

@Elakiya ooooh I love a Sunday roast!!! Always a great alternative!! Did you finish shopping for clothes for your niece?

Hmmmm that is interesting because @ReginaaPhalange had days of extremely blazing positives like there was no mistaking that positive and if you get that too then yeah there definitely might be a connection. Sounds very possible.

Its crazy that your doctor didn't even understand it @ReginaPhalange

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 25/07/2020 21:36

@mummyjojo19 keep testing I know I am exactly the same I keep hoping until she literally shows up. You were due today though yeah? What dpo are you?

OP posts:
Elakiya · 25/07/2020 22:08

@candycrush2298 Not in this awful weather. Will go tomorrow. She's really into jump suits. I hate them lol. So we'll see if I can find a compromise lol.

@ReginaaPhalange I read a research paper that said it's due to low progesterone in the luetal phase but then it concludes that it wasn't statistically significant to draw that conclusion. Looking around to see if I can find anything.

ReginaaPhalange · 25/07/2020 22:13

According to glow, AF is due on Saturday, but because of my cycle having their own mind, I won't be surprised if it appears at a different time. I'm going to order some FRER and test on Friday if AF hasn't shown. I have NO symptoms whatsoever. Just the usual twinge in my ovaries which I get all the time. It's frustrating not knowing lol!

candycrush2298 · 25/07/2020 22:16

@Elakiya lol!!! But if she likes it 🤣🤣🤣

For both you and @ReginaaPhalange I have just been browsing the posts on the premom easy@home facebook group and a woman literally just posted she had positives for 10 days straight and then someone commented they do too and they both have PCOS I definitley think there's a link but I don't know what it is.

OP posts:
ReginaaPhalange · 25/07/2020 22:19

@candycrush2298 @Elakiya it's just really odd. When my GP showed me my blood results from when I got my diagnosis, all my levels are in the normal range, so the only literal symptom of PCOS is the follics on my ovaries! I thought you had to have 2 symptoms to have the diagnosis, but she said no as my ovaries are enough to diagnose it! Talk about confused!!!!

candycrush2298 · 25/07/2020 22:21

@ReginaaPhalange wow that is really strange I also think there is a spectrum for PCOS and some have it worse than others. You are holding out really strong you 8dpo today? Have you tested or are you waiting for AF?

OP posts:
ReginaaPhalange · 25/07/2020 22:31

@candycrush2298 I'm not going to test until Friday, unless AF comes before that. My app thinks I'm due on Saturday so will wait and see. Only have a clear blue digital here so won't waste that as know it's not as accurate as FRER.... I'll order some on amazon on Thursday and they'll arrive next day :)

ReginaaPhalange · 25/07/2020 22:32

@candycrush2298 and yep- 8DPO :)

mummyjojo19 · 25/07/2020 22:32

@candycrush2298 well according to my app I should be 15dpo but I am thinking I must have ovulated late as I am normally regular as clockwork :$ xxx

candycrush2298 · 25/07/2020 22:35

@ReginaaPhalange that's a good plan!!! By only ordering them Thursday you literally only can test Friday. I like your thinking!!! That is a great way to keep self control. Please please tell me as soon as you have tested the suspense is killing me lol!!
