@Dex1521 ahhh welcome back! Did you use OPKs and spot a surge around then?

I did have soooo many weird symptoms too like smell, bad back and sciatica, nausea, fatigue and lots of cramping! Turned out to be ovulation. I ovulated at CD27 according to my strips!

Have you looked up the CM charts to be able to tell the difference in consistency throughout your cycle? X

@Bells20I haven’t started BBT or OPKs yet I was waiting for my cycle to return. I found an OPK from ages ago and thought I’d use it this morning out of interest and it was definitely negative no faint line of anything but I’ve just gone and re looked at it and I think there is a faint line!! I’ve uploaded a pic for others opinions! Could this be an evap line from it sitting for hours?

@Emmgrem oh god that actually makes me anxious that you would miss that many pills 🤣🤣 I was so strict with it 😂

I mean I'm not sure it's just what I've read as I've been freaking out that my ovulation was so late and if that was actually ovulation or not. So that's what I've found on that point!

Keep us posted though! At least your body is trying to get into the swing of things! And yes I know exactly what you mean about getting suddenly impatient after just making the decision TTC 😂

Forgot to upload the pic here it is 😂

@DrS44 I’ve just uploaded a pic of a opk I did this morning and think I’m gonna order some on Amazon now (thank god for prime 😂) I think the symptoms might be ovulation too! My CM has been dry until yesterday where it’s more jelly like and definitely clear as I’m studied it 😂 so another pointer for ovulation I’m thinking

@Dex1521 you're right there is a faint line there but for a test to be positive the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control line- so because yours is faint it probably isn't positive but also might not be accurate as your fat it quite a long time as you say. I think CM is often around for a couple of days before ovulation so could very much still be on its way! I'm totally with you, thank for for amazon prime! Who conveniently around 10 minutes ago delivered me some FRER's haha.

@Emmgrem I must admit I'm the same, shamefully I was so forgetful with my pill and probably missed at one from every pack. I know it's bad 🙈. I was just talking to my OH about how so much of my life I've been told how easy it is to accidentally get pregnant but it doesn't feel quite so easy from where I'm sitting now!

Good lord what on earth were my thumbs doing in that last message- I meant you've left it quite a long time as you say. I don't know how fat got in there!

@Bells20 haha mine are to arrive tomorrow easy@home box of 40 OPKs and 10 PGtests that will keep me busy 😂 whenever I did the test the pink dye ran and was hard to even see control line but seems to have settled down when I went back to look recently. Will keep testing with OPKs these next few days and see what happens if it gets darker etc I’ll use the premom app as well to document them. Fingers crossed 🤞 ✨

@Dex1521 can you send me the Amazon link for the box that has the PG tests in it? I couldn’t find any PG test on Amazon when I was looking for them! 😂

@AMS19 have you come across these bands? They're for travel sickness. Just got some from Boots to see if they will help my mild (but constant) nausea. You have to get them on the right pressure point, I was wearing them too high at first. Just read this study as well which found them to be effective.

Fingers crossed they work! They seem to be helping?

Ps excuse my funny frog hands

Also it's all kicking off on the ovulation front isn't it? Haha!

So many 2wws starting soon 🙂I'm excited about seeing some more BFPs in a while

@positivitytree2020 not sure how to send the link on my phone but I’ve screenshot the ones I ordered which I hope helps! I searched easy@home OPKs and it was one of the first on the list of results

Thanks @Dex1521 found them! ☺️

Just done my daily POAS for cd9 and the results are 0.12 - low. Excited to see it hopefully go up in the next week 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I've been reading what some of you have done re telling your DPs when you hit your peak or not - if it happens to me, I will tell mine. Mainly because who else can I tell in real life?! 😂😂

@GreenApplesYo oh interesting!! Let me know how you get on. Todays symptom is really bad lower back pain 🙄 apparently totally normal as it means everything is stretching which is a good sign, but bloody hell it hurts and is uncomfortable
On the brightside tomorrow is POAS day...yay!

Another low for me. Frig sake! 😔 My back is killing also so not in a good mood 🤣 x

@jessi60 don't lose hope lovely it will happen!! Keep testing ❤

Also the colour of that stick is actually rank that’s the colour them bloody vitamins are making my wee so sorry about that 🤢🤣

@AMS19 Thank you, I hope so! It’s starting to get me down but feel like a right idiot cause people try for bloody years and here I am whinging on.

Stupid app has me at peak fertility. What a load of bollocks 🤣 although I am aware it’s just a prediction ha Xx

@jessi60 but this is exactly why we don't rely on the apps and use OPKs and BBT! Xx

Don't be disheartened @jessi60 - your peak will happen. Are you cd12 today? If so, the next week or so is potentially when it might happen so keep testing 😀 I'm cd9 so not far behind you. Also, I recognise the colour because mine is exactly the same 🤣🤣
Just dtd. Does anyone else have a cat or a dog? We have a cat and when we stopped we realised she was sat by the door looking at us disapprovingly. The shame. I can't look at her now 🙈

@PowerOfFlowers our puppy is such a cock Block 😂😂 we literally have to run away and plant treats everywhere to get rid of her 🤣 she's managed to sneak in a few times and bark disapprovingly which has made from funny episodes 😅 xxxx

@jessi60 don't worry you'll get it! And yup agree highlighter yellow 🤣

@Dex1521 they're the ones I've been using 🥰 I was quite low when I got my EWCM the next day it was about a 40 and I was buzzing then the following day (I think) it peaked! I'll show you my chart for reference x

Hahah @DrS44 Thats exactly what I did earlier, I gave her some food then left her to it. I can't do it if she's there 😂😂
