Ovulation around 17-22 Sept who's with me?

[MummyToPrince]

Anyone else in or around the time frame as me?

@MummyToPrince haha me too! 😂 I think I was something like 3 days behind you last month - I've still got a week to go before I'm due to ovulate so it may be more this month. Who knooooows! So excited for you though! Did you do another OPK? I'm surprisingly relaxed too - I need to keep busy in the TWW this time I think!

@BellaBella84 we're clearly a very chatty group 😂 ohhhh so sorry to hear it's a stressful time! We all have our moments throughout the month. It's all a complete learning curve, and I'm sure parenting will be the same - I don't have any parenting experience so unfortunately no proper advice but you've got this! Before you know it, it'll be the TWW and you'll be consoling us during our testing mania 😂 x

@RBCoxie my opks are barley showing a line :-/ a lot lighter than yesterdays one x

@MummyToPrince have you got pics of them all together? The morning ones tend to be lighter I've heard - so it may get darker later on today? x

@RBCoxie yeah I have, I'll attach it... Its turned out brighter than yesterdays but look over 10 minutes x

@MummyToPrince oh they look great!! That's a clear progression in darkness if you ask me! You may be approaching peak over the next day or so. Didn't manage to DTD last night as husband wasn't well so already every other day has gone out the window 😂 how're you feeling today? x

@MummyToPrince try and take opks every couple of hours leading to your peak so you don't miss it, only because I peak and go back low within hours and was missing it at first

@MummyToPrince what time of the day do you take the ones that are negative? I’ve read that the surge is mostly likely to be picked up on your second wee of the day...

@RBCoxie ah no! There's still enough time :-) I'm DTD every day now until Friday I think and hope that covers all areas 😂🤞My head is still banging and can taste small hints of foods, but don't feel as bad as I have over the past few days

@robodo @supermathsdoc I take one every morning and then one in the afternoon and sometimes before bed but at the monent my Ovia app says I'm in my fertile window so we are DTD every day till Friday 😂 It may seem a bit much but somethings got to work lol, my OPK this morning is the only test that's taken more than 10 minutes to show x

@MummyToPrince from what I’ve read I think the afternoon one is the more ‘reliable’ one, it always shows up darker for me than the others too. Your pics look like you’re almost there though!
That’s an epic effort this month lol, everything crossed for this one being the one x

@Supermathsdoc if it doesn't work this month then I'm going to put myself in a museum 😂 maybe I should just test afternoon and evening? I'm still relaxed which is good and I'm still adamant I'm not testing until AF I hope I can stay like this all the way through

@Supermathsdoc I have everything crossed for you too x

Here is my SMU OPK

I usually test in the afternoon since it's darker than testing in the morning. Maybe you should try that.

@AlisonT13 Yeah I will definitely start testing in the afternoon and evening instead of morning as this is my morning test and then second morning urine test, I'm trying to educate myself on opks as this is the first month Ive ever used them x

Hello girls! Here I am back again 😂nap I decided to start using ovulation test sticks again this month. I've had my peak and high reading, we have dtd pretty much every day but is the best time tonight after my peak?

Just to add to the below we have dtd every night and even some mornings 😂 trying everything this month hahaha!

@HollowayL31 have you name chanced? Or do we have 2 Holloways in here? Your opks are looking brilliant, I don't think my peak is fair away

Name changed sorry**

@MummyToPrince Hey yes I changed the end digit as realised I'm not 30 anymore 😂
Ahh thank you, I'm so glad I decided to test opks this month, hopefully it's our month!
How have you been? X

@HollowayL31 I was literally like hold up a minute is there 2 😂 I'm doing good thank you, I've been testing morning and afternoon like you have, these are my opks today I done fmu and then SMU, I hope we all get what we want this month.. I'm really relaxed about this month x

@MummyToPrince definitely think it's worth testing afternoon and evening - it looks so much stronger in the afternoon! I'm testing around 4-5pm but when I'm nearing the peak I'm going to be doing it early afternoon and evening, just in case! Loving the positivity around not testing until AF too - I'm telling myself that all the time to reinforce it! 😂

@HollowayL31 that is amazing commitment! love it! 😂 no denying your peak there! Keeping everything crossed for you this month - exciting that your TWW has now begun!!

@MummyToPrince I have been relaxed too surprisingly however I'm sure in a weeks time I'll be the same as last month with symptoms 🤣

@RBCoxie haha well we have changed our approach each month so this month we're like right morning and night in my fertile window just to be sure 🤣 if it doesn't happen this month I don't think I could do it any more hahaha!

@HollowayL31 it's a great idea!! We tried that for a couple of days last month and I just couldn't keep doing it 😂 we're sticking to once a day this month. My OPKS couldn't be any less negative if they tried so far really 😂

@MummyToPrince oh wow that’s a big difference between first and second, I would definitely go with afternoon and evening.

I started testing today ... I’m not predicted to ovulate til Sunday though and I’ve asked my donor to come round on Saturday. Feeling half excited half stressed! I’m a bit scared to say it, but I have a good feeling about this month .....

@RBCoxie I'm hoping I can do it and stick to not testing! But I have no tests no it might make it easier however it is also easy to look on amazon and get next day delivery 😂 your opks are definitely going in the right direction! How exciting!

@HollowayL31 the first week of the tww I'm fine it's the second week! You've done really good though being relaxed for this long :-)

@Supermathsdoc I'm loving your positivity!

For those that DTD everyday, hats off to you I'm knackered and it's only been 4days in a row 😂👏 1
