Hi hun , yes I am ok. Dtd loads last week , glad we did because my hubby has a bad cold and is now in the spare room !!!
I never got a static smiley so I dont know what happened with that. Given up on temping because my thermometer is not accurate at all! I got ewcm first time since June last week so if nothing happens this month then I think things are getting back to normal now so hopefully only a matter of time 🤞🏻
I have woken up twice in the night with sore boobs , I arent testing .... I just daren't!!!! Thought id wait til a week late 🤣 im not bothered this month either way.... my inlaws have bought me 6 bottles of prosecco!!! 🙈
Sounds like your doing ok too 👍🏻 xxx

@PurplePops woohoo!! Congratulations!! 🎉 Fantastic news x

Hi everybody. Hope it's ok if I join.
Cd13 here got my peak on cd 14 last month and ovulated cd15 we have done the deed Saturday and Sunday should we have a break tonight and then when get peak ovulation do that night and night after?

Fingers crossed for BFP for us all before Christmas xx

@PurplePops congratulations! Amazing news ☺️🎉

@loopy23 I wish I had some useful advice but my temping has been similar recently. The first few cycles of recording I got really good patterns of low temps, then a spike, then consistently high temps until AF. But for the last two there hasn’t been an obviously spike in temperature and it hasn’t stayed consistently high, even though I got a static blue smiley on my CB OPK. But I was having lots of disturbed sleep (partly because I was symptom spotting and dreaming about taking my temp!) so maybe it’s similar for you? I’m hoping my chart is a bit clearer this month but I’m only on CD10 so will have to wait and see.

Does anyone have experience with Clear blue and normal OPK. I have a blank circle on clear blue but a high on my easy@hime strips...not sure which one to go by? I usually have approx 34 day cycle and ovulate on/around day 21....but confused and new to this! Any advice would be helpful x

@Diddy28 I only have experience with CB, the blank circle normally means not fertile. What CD are you on now? Maybe DTD just in case

Congratulations @PurplePops that is brilliant! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

Congratulations too @Mumtoalittlegirl ! How lovely to have 2 BFPs on the group in one day Hope your pregnancy goes well!

@Diddy28 I've never used CB tests only cheapie strip OPKs- I've found that a few days before ovulation I might get a very faint line, which I see as an indicator I am getting closer to peak and then as soon as the line gets darker (which usually ties in with the same day of my cycle every month) we start to DTD and I get Ov pains within 48 hours.

@PurplePops @Mumtoalittlegirl congratulations to both of you!! Hoping this is the start of many more BFPs!! Xo

Hi @SunnydazeQ yes im due AF on the 10th although I will probably end up testing a few days earlier as I can never ever wait that long 😂

Hi @gracie2307 I'm good thankyou, 1DPO and feel like its going to drrrrraggg haha. We didn't DTD as much during the week but DTD Friday night, got static smiley Saturday morning so DTD Saturday night and then Sunday night just to make sure. Hoping this is the one as never really DtD past static smiley face day before🤞

@PurplePops and @mumtoalittlegirl congratulations ❤❤ so happy for you!

Congratulations @PurplePops and @Mumtoalittlegirl lovely news 😊 xx

Hey @SunnydazeQ hope you are all good! How was your weekend? Hows the 2ww going? Ahh thank you so much for clarifying that helps so much about SMEP and the high fertility days! Im doing ok thank you although I've broken out with acne majorly on the left hand side of my face along my jawline 🙃 so horrible! Ever since not being on the Pill anymore, my face gets so many breakouts and no matter how much I take care of my skin, the acne still returns. So denting for confidence. Xxx

Hey @Dogmum13 how are you? Ahh thats great you got your peak! 😀I think it should be fine as long as you started on CD8 it should all count! Do you use pre seed? Xx

Hey @SparkyLauz how are you? Ooh good luck for the 2ww! 🤗 thats good that you managed to DTD after the static smiley, I have been guilty of not doing that so I'm hoping the SMEP plan will work well to help us with that! Im still on high fertility smileys, CD14 and normally get my peak on CD15-17 xx

@gracie2307 I actually peaked yesterday as got an even darker line yesterday morning and then last night it was a lot fainter and barely noticeable today so back to negative again. My app has put today as O day. I haven't used pre seed. We had been using conceive plus but we've went through the whole bottle so didn't know if it was worth getting a second one or not 🤣🤦‍♀️ My ewcm has really improved from taking the vitamins so not sure if I need it or not. Heard it can be a real mood killer so have held off for now 😬 are you using it?

@SparkyLauz I know exactly what you mean, particularly as I have a whole bunch of IC that are tempting me. 🤣 I stocked up on FRER and CB digitals when I thought I was pregnant last month so will try not to test until the 8th as I'm due on the 9th haha

@gracie2307 hi! How are you and how was your weekend? Sorry to hear about your breakouts. Hope it clears up for you soon xx

I had a lovely weekend with Christmas decorations and I made homemade non alcoholic mulled wine which tasted like the alcoholic version so win win :) I love red wine and been trying non alcoholic versions which have been awful so it was so good making it drinkable. Although the sugar content is a worry but once in a while is good right? Gives me hope for Christmas :)

Other than that today I am extremely tired and I mean extremely tired. I am 5/6 DPO so not sure if this has anything to implantation? Trying not to symptom spot but haven't felt like this since we started TTC. Spent the day on the sofa in and out of sleep which is making me even more tired. But hopefully it's a good sign 🙈

@gracie2307 just jumping in as I suffer terrible acne being off the pill too. Have you tried azeliac acid? It's safe in pregnancy and really gentle so even my hyper sensitive skin can tolerate it. It's made the world of difference to my jaw/neck acne x

Hi! Jumping across from the November bus.
I had a peak opk 2 days ago. I’ve had horrendous one-sided backache all day today. Do you think it is just ovulation? Or could it be something else?
I get back ache around when my period is due but this is constant and more intense.

Hi guys! I've been watching this post and I hope it's okay for me to join in.
I came off the pill in September and had a withdrawal bleed the first week in October. I fell pregnant the end of October. It was only a few weeks after coming of the pill. I couldn't believe it! It felt to good to be true, it all happened so quickly ... it was ... I had a chemical pregnancy. We decided to try again straight away so I ovulated again this month, 2 weeks after my chemical pregnancy loss and I'm now on 2 days post ovulation!

Let the dreaded two week wait begin! Sending everyone positive vibes hopefully December will bring us all good news!

@Dogmum13 Pre seed is okay if you prep and use it a good 15-20 mins or so before you DTD instead of straight away if you see what I mean? Apparently it helps get used to your body temperature and makes it less mood killer-y. My ewcm is rubbish tbf so I find it helps me! Did you do SMEP this month? Xx

@SunnydazeQ my weekend was lovely thank you! Still keeping on with my accupuncture! Your weekend sounds amazingly festive 🎄 we put our tree up on Saturday and started to do some online Xmas shopping. Non alcoholic mulled wine sounds lovely!! I usually love the mulled cider 😋 Ooh that sounds very positive 🤞🤞🤞 keeping everything crossed for you! Xxx

Hey @BubsNumber2inTheMaking how are you? Thanks for your message! Amazing thank you is it a lotion or cream? What product do you recommend? I had acne as a teenager then was on the pill for ages and didn't have to worry. But now its back with a vengeance. I was looking for something friendly for TTC/pregnancy so that sounds lovely! I really wish I'd seen the doctor properly about it a few years ago before I started TTC, I know a few people who have ended up on roaccutane (risky I know) but now have lovely skin but because I was taking Yasmin and wasn't thinking about having a baby yet, my skin was fine. Bloody hormones thats all I will say 🙈 xx
