@MgW1 oh no that sucks!! But doesn't mean that you have ovulated right? It just means the your levels may have been a little too low to show peak. Will be following your journey next month. BTW one of those fertility channels I watch on YouTube, the lady points at stress for low levels. You're still in xx

SunnydazeQ · 26/11/2020 14:59

@SRyellow the calms app sounds like such a good plan. Fingers crossed we can quiet our minds this month. I've also been on Chinese herbs for the past couple of months hoping to even out my hormones so hope they work too. Happy to hear you enjoyed your accupuncture. Are you planning on going weekly? X

We've just finished the 3 days in a row on SMEP and just the last DTD on Sat and that's it for us this month :) So currently TWW 🙈

buckingmad · 26/11/2020 14:59

Thanks for all the congrats.

Also just to point out that I took a test at 10dpo and it was negative. Took another at 15dpo and was positive. So don’t take tests early! All it does is disappoint and then you wonder whether it was too early. I honestly recommend just waiting till your period is due. I know it’s hard!

SunnydazeQ · 26/11/2020 15:15

Hi @gracie2307 welcome back! 😊 So sorry to hear you're having such a stressful time at work. I hope it gets quieter for you soon. Sending lots of positivity your way for SMEP! 🙌 Hubby and I actually find it so much less stressful than before, and we're enjoying our time more so it doesn't feel like a chore. We've just finished our 3 days in a row this morning (benefits of WFH) and our last go is on Sat. 🤞

I am yet to start the book and waiting for the weekend. Today is 1DPO for me, although it maybe 2 as I got ovulation symptoms on the same day as my static smiley. But I've promised myself this month I won't be symptom spotting as the one month I fell pregnant, I didn't note down a single symptom. Maybe all this symptom spotting is just added stress. What will be, will be 😊

SunnydazeQ · 26/11/2020 15:25

@buckingmad I think that's really good advice. When we test early we just ended up stressing more. It is hard but better than stressing over a negative too early. All the best with your pregnancy xx

SunnydazeQ · 26/11/2020 15:27

@MgW1 so sorry typo, I meant it doesn't mean that your haven't ovulated. 🙈

Sohe · 27/11/2020 08:54

Well I very nearly gave in and tested this morning. Managed to pull myself back, was hard though. 11DPO. AF due over the weekend, not sure I’ll make it but giving it a bloody good go. 🙈 x

keepingfaithandhope · 27/11/2020 09:04

I admire your strength to resist testing Sohe. I literally just did mine with a cheapie & it's a BFN. I'm also 10 or 11 DPO . A moment of sadness but I've picked myself back up! There's always next month.

Good luck to everyone else still in the race.

I'll move over to the December thread. Bye ladies x

@SunnydazeQ
Yes well will see what happens. Been dtd every other day so if I have then my fertile week was covered. I think our AF's due similar time ? Im around 9th dec ? Gona have to keep myself busy now with xmas shopping and work. Not doing any testing til Af is late. Have we started a Dec thread yet? Xx

Sunflowers81 · 27/11/2020 11:52

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well.
I am now 1dpo, and I DTD every day for the last 5 days! I missed Saturday and dtd friday too! Can I have a rest now? I'm really tired! Blush
I know that may have been too much, but I just wanted to be sure, and DH is happy about it all!
Is 1dpo still very fertile? Surely I'm covered by all the other days?

@gracie2307 I'm sorry to hear that your anxiety is up. Is it work causing it? What helps you feel better?

SparkyLauz · 28/11/2020 07:25

Hi @gracie2307 no need to apologise I dont look on here so much at the moment anyway as It stops me obsessing as much. Altho I'm in my FW now so I will probably start going cuckoo again around this time next week when im 4dpo or whatever 😂😂

I'm alright though thanks, had a bit of a rubbish few weeks with anxiety and being silly. I think my hormones and furloughed from work for that week didn't help either. But all good now. Sorry to hear you're having a stressful time at work.

Regarding the private tests I called them up and was sat in a queue for aaages but then decided to hang up. I'm going to give it 2 more cycles and then start going down that route somethings making me think its going to be soon for me🤞🤞so hoping I won't need to.

SparkyLauz · 28/11/2020 10:07

@gracie2307 got my smiley face this morning its waaay earlier than I would have expected this month so glad I tested early! Very happy about this haha xx

Cienega · 28/11/2020 10:44

Hi all,
If I had positive opks for just over two days (each test stayed blazing for the whole time) is there any way of knowing which day I ovulated on or would I just be going on a guess?

SunnydazeQ · 28/11/2020 11:06

Morning ladies!!

Hope you are all well!! I just created a new thread for Dec called TTC festive bus and tagged as many of you as I could think of so looking forward to seeing you there.

@Sohe and @keepingfaithandhope I didn't tag you as I am hoping you are both getting your BFPs before Nov 30th 🤞💞 But you know where we are if you want to see what we're up to!! Sending positive vibes your way!! Xx

MgW1 · 28/11/2020 11:21

@Cienega
Hi there
There is a blog on premom - its 24 hrs from the end of the peak so that would be the 2nd day. You would need to dtd on last day and then 2 days after that? X

Sohe · 28/11/2020 12:19

@SunnydazeQ thanks for letting us know. I’ll keep an eye of you guys!!! ❤️ X

Cienega · 29/11/2020 09:40

Thanks @MgW1
I'm very doubtful that anything will come if it as were taking a break from trying and just dtd for the fun but ovulation came early so I may have been in the window. We dtd last Sunday and I got a blazing opk on Tuesday and Wednesday. So it may have been too early to count

MamaPheebz · 29/11/2020 10:12

Hi all! I thought I’d lost you all after the last post closed. I’m on 1dpo. We weren’t supposed to be trying this month but turns out not trying turns me more psycho than trying so here we are!
This is the first month the opk progression has been normal since my last MMC so feeling hopeful. Apart from the OPKs, I haven’t had many ovulation symptoms though.
Does anyone else track bbt?

@bmeggar
We have moved onto festive bus - link above. How are you doing ? X

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 30/11/2020 06:36

Thanks @MgW1 ! I'm actually bmeggar (name change, just to confuse matters 🤦🏼‍♀️), and so already on it but thanks for thinking of me!
I'm ok but I've done my back in last night so struggling to move today 😫 super annoying and painful. And totally self inflicted by being on my phone with bad posture yesterday (Christmas shopping!). Eugh. Hopefully it'll improve soon.
Apart from that, I've had super high libido the last few days which is totally out of character for me 🤣 so have dtd a couple of times although think too early to ovulate. Think I'm due to ovulate in a couple of days.

Anyway, how are you doing? Did you ever get your peak smiley?x

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 01/12/2020 11:53

@Markygirl1995 just wondered what happened with you this month? What did blood test results show? Hope you're ok?
