@kaybobx I just found this
www.kindara.com/blog/how-you-might-be-missing-your-fertile-window-with-opks

so this says your peak is actually the last day of the plateau. I don't know anymore lol. Why is there so much conflicting evidence online. So frustrating. I would ask my friend whose a GP but she's very against using OPKs for some reason so don't really want to ask as I'll probably get told off for using them and stressing myself out.

@candycrush2298 Got my peak today. Therefore I will get AF on CD=32 this month (AF due on 19th August).

candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 10:36

@Elakiya thats so confusing as I look like I ovulated the day of my first positive not my peak (according to BBT) and @Kaybobx looks like she ovulated today (if her temp rises tomorrow and keeps rising) agh its all a shambles isn't it lol so many conflicting articles on Dr Google. I guess the main thing is if we BD on those days then we covered for whenever it happens 🤣🤣🤣

Yay that is fab you got your peak. 32day cycle isn't too bad its better than some who get like over 40 days. The good news is you got your peak. Will you be able to BD today, tomorrow and skip one day and bd again? Have you been bd'ng every other day for the last few days?

@candycrush2298 @Elakiya oh i give up haha! 🤣 i think ive done enough this cycle anyway. Im sure I'll have some swimmers waiting at the gate whether it be today or tomorrow.

@Elakiya yay glad you got your peak. My AF is due 19th.

Come on girls we can get those April babies!!

candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 10:47

@Kaybobx yessss I am definitely all for us all having April babies!!! Now who has that lorry of baby dust lol!! We really need some +'s here!!

Elakiya · 03/08/2020 11:04

@candycrush2298 Yh Dr Google is always conflicting
We BD in the mornings I've been doing every other day, so we BD-ed on Sat and we BD-ed this morning we'll BD again tomorrow and then do every other day to the end of the week. I have a twinge in my ovaries so I think I may have ovulated today?

We did a different position today lol! So much more comfortable lol! Also hubby got 10 mins of BD I think that's the longest he has ever had. He's a very happy bunny today

candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 11:08

@Elakiya thats great well done for all the bd'ng thats amazing as I know its painful for you. So well done really thats great.

Omg also ovulating on your peak day gosh what is wrong with us 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the rules say after peak come on bodies get with it hahaahh.

Yay for a position that didn't result in pain. Has it resulted in any blood?
10 minutes omg you are a rockstar whahahah I am sure he is feeling like a total boss today 🤣🤣🤣

Kaybobx · 03/08/2020 11:14

@Elakiya wooooohooo 10 minutes!! You go girl. Glad you found a position that is more comfortable. Our hubbys are buzzing this month with us aren't they haha!

Im getting cramps now so think i am ovulating today. Although it could be any day looking at my strips haha!! Whatever just rolling with it

Elakiya · 03/08/2020 12:22

@candycrush2298 Yh I am worried that because we seem to ovulate on LH surge we might be missing our egg :( I dunno with the sperm meets egg plan they say we shouldn't but then why is this not happening fast enough lol!

@Kaybobx @candycrush2298 tmi here but the position we tried is called watering can. To be fair I found this position a while ago but don't do it often because it means I have to do all the work lol and I am just lazy lol!

We'll BD until peak disappears. Hopefully this is our month ladies @candycrush2298 I have ever ever got an evap or a faint line or an indent of any sort on the Easy@home strips. I have high hopes for you. Keep testing, April baby means they'll be 3 months in July and can fit into super cute clothes :D. So excited!

Elakiya · 03/08/2020 12:25

*never ever

Also why has it put * every time I mention @candycrush2298*

candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 12:29

@Kaybobx our hubbys better be feeling the love this cycle lol yeah!!! yeah I am just rolling with it hahaha.

@Elakiya I know it means as soon as we start seeing high tests even if not positive we need to ramp up BD but I honeslty think all of us have got so much BD in that I think we covered our bases.

Oooh I am going off to Google to find this watering can position. I also like it more when hubby does all of the work lol!!

I truly hope it means something attached is this mornings test and it doesn't have that indent or anything just plain negative lol will test again tonight and see.

Yassss I am loving this April baby thing woohoo

@Elakiya @Kaybobx just seen this girl got a positive 7dpo with with the femometer early tests (was faint) and 5 days later she got her CB digital positive. I am so glad I bought them in that flash sale now lol

OP posts:
PinkRoseFlower · 03/08/2020 14:18

I'm also confused as to when or if I have ovulated yet... I got my static smiley on Friday, so I thought that meant I'd ov on Friday or Saturday, got BD in both days anyway. But my cervix is still really high, not that I check it often but I can barely reach it so making me wonder if I've ov'd yet or not. The female body is just too complex 😂

ReginaaPhalange · 03/08/2020 14:31

Sweet lord ladies.... help me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Horrific cramps today!!!

candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 14:46

@PinkRoseFlower lol our bodies love playing tricks on us, bd can fluctuate the position and time of day so unless you checking it every single day at the exact same time there's no way to know for sure lol. I hate when our bodies do these things to us but I would trust CB peak.

@ReginaaPhalange awww so sorry you are in so much pain today. Thats horrible I hate AF pain sometimes it can be really bad mine was like that last cycle its brutal.

snapple21 · 03/08/2020 15:34

Hi all I've finished my nights now need to get back bd tonight! I put my temp in and Flo says ovulated Friday which I deffo don't think is true. I've not had a positive opk yet or much fertile cervical mucus so I think it will be later this week!

candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 15:44

@snapple21 yay for back end of nightshift sure you are glad to be off it. And back to bd'ng. It will probably change when your temps start actually rising. When was your peak on the monitor?

OP posts:
snapple21 · 03/08/2020 16:00

Not had it yet!

candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 16:37

@snapple21 then yeah likely not ovulated yet thesd temps can be quite confusing lol

OP posts:
ReginaaPhalange · 03/08/2020 17:54

@candycrush2298 pain has eased but omg I swear AF is sitting there laughing at me for saying was so light the last few days! Wee boot!

candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 17:59

@ReginaaPhalange whahahahah!!! Sometimes I think she does this deliberately like last 2 months i was light and then this last cycle she was like wah sucker take that and nearly killed me hahahahaha!! Glad it's eased off

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 20:05

So my hubby just asked me in this expectant tone like soooooo did you test day and his face was like all excited and I said yes and it was negative and he was like oh well maybe its too early. In 2 years he has never asked me that now my mind is reeling like is he asking because we used the CB monitor this month or because he found my stash 🤢🤢🤢

ReginaaPhalange · 03/08/2020 20:58

@candycrush2298 defo. Might start my own marketing brand "AF is a bitch". Can see all the preteens brandishing that all over their stationery hahaha!!

Just had my gel polish done, so a wee treat and took my mind off that bitch Aunt Flo! (Said that in the style of "that bitch Carole baskin") 🤣🤣🤣

candycrush2298 · 03/08/2020 21:01

@ReginaaPhalange lol!! Totally I feel like such a girl again I do my own also gel with tips becuase my nails don't grow. But feel much more normal havent done them in forever because I am using my desk that was for my nails to work from home.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 03/08/2020 21:05

@candycrush2298 hahaha omg imagine his face if he had found your stash 🤣 would he of seen the test in the bin?

I think im ovulating right now its soooo painful. I get ovulation cramps worse than AF cramps. I couldn't BD tonight even if i wanted to 😭 ouch ouchhh

ReginaaPhalange · 03/08/2020 21:05

@candycrush2298 I missed the pampering haha! Ended up dying my hair back to brown last weekend too and cut it all lo! Really chuffed with it!

I normally have acrylics but we're not allowed at work just now in a bid to reduce risk at work with Covid....
