Hey @Diddy28 how are you? Thanks for your message! Its very confusing! I had that a few months ago too when it went from low to peak but no high. This month I just seem to be high fertility for nearly a week straight! So either the fertility gods have blessed me with so many fertile days this cycle 😂 or I am just have a strange wobble with estrogen. How long have you been TTC? Xx

Hey @SunnydazeQ!! How are you? Thank you for your message, that is a good idea! I will definetley check the sticks now! Hows your week going? Hope the 2ww is going ok for you xx

Hey @Lee0511 hope you are well! Keeping everything crossed for your first month for you! Is this TTC for baby no #1? Xx

Hey @millionairesshortbread4! Hope you are ok! How did you find SMEP this cycle? Wishing you lots of baby dust xx

Hey @Sunflowers81 how are you? Hope you are doing ok hows your week been? Xx

@gracie2307 that sounds promising! 🤞 I've never had a peak line stronger than the control line so I wouldn't worry too much. If it's a decent strong line I reckon that's good enough - and dtd every other day should have you covered anyway 👌
I'm CD 16 today and think I'm ovulating today although my app thinks tomorrow. That sounds very late for me but who knows?! 🤷‍♀️ Interested to see what my OPK says tomorrow. What CD are you?x

@gracie2307
I cant do with all the supplements etc and testing. Just taking seven seas this month. As its xmas and wanting a few christmas 🍻, just going to dtd when i get ewcm 2 - 3 times and hope for the best. Il be too busy with xmas to be stressing over ttc. Got acupuncture next Thursday. I feel like AF is brewing. Due on Sat so will see what happens. My husband has banned me from using the word mucus , says its dead unsexy 🤣 xx

Hi All, please can I join? very new to this site, I’m 38 and we have just started TTC... I haven’t been on the pill for approx 5 years and this is our first month trying, age is a concern but I’m here for support and those all important success stories and tips! I am on day 15 of my cycle (28 days) and we DTD yesterday. Not expecting anything this month but fingers crossed

@SunnydazeQ
Hi there , how are you getting on? Well i am due AF saturday but as I think i ovulated late ( by 4 days approx) i dont know if AF will be late. Taking a low key approach over xmas - if AF arrives late then i could potentially ovulate between xmas eve and boxing day!!! My husband will not be fit for dtd duties 🤣 xxx

@MgW1 love that comment about your husband - I think I’m in dangerous territory of having the word ‘mucus’ banned by my husband as well!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking Yeah Im hoping I havent missed my chances this cycle! Ooh fingers crossed you have hit your peak today/tomorrow I am CD17 today will be CD18 tomorrow. Hopefully you will get a strong line tomorrow, do you know when you usually ovulate? Xx

I think you get more cramps when ttc. I think there will be months when conception takes place but the bean doesnt stick. I read cramps are caused by high levels of progesterone and unterine lining etc ?? But not sure. I have had more cramps with ttc or maybe we are more aware ?! 🤔

@MgW1 Haha thats funny your DH has banned that word. My DH goes a bit white in the face when I talk about CM too Thats fair enough about taking it easy over Xmas. Accupuncture is great, I find it so relaxing. Youre not out yet so fingers crossed for the BFP xx

@gracie2307 I don't know exactly but I thought CD14...that's kind of what I was working to the other times I got pregs but don't know for sure 🤷‍♀️ When is your usual ov date?x

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking Ah fair enough! I range between CD15,16,17 for my peak O day. This month seems a lot later for some reason. All very confusing! My cycle lengths range from CD29-31. This is for my first baby and I naively thought months ago it would happen a lot more quickly. Definetley a learning experience! Xx

@gracie2307 it is yes, so everything is all very new to me. My first hurdle seems to be working out if I'm actually ovulating as I haven't seen a peak in lh yet. But I've been told that because I drink so much water throughout the day it may be affecting my results. 🙈 We've been DTD every other day since 5 days before the expected ovulation day so fingers crossed.

@gracie2307 yes I hope the fertile gods have blessed you this month! I came off the pill in March and started using natural cycles to work out my cycles etc! I started tracking OPK etc in the last 3 months but I feel like this month has been proper tracking and BD throughout while fertile window so really hoping this is our month. I'm struggling to. It stress and think about it so much, I feel like it consumed my brain all day! How about you?! X

Been a while since I used opk so I started a bit earlier this months.

Previously I was diagnosed with pcos and was extremely overweight in the last year I have lost 114lbs and my periods seem to of regulated so thought I would see what my hormones were doing.

Do these look right to you?

I'm having the same issue with OPK. When we first decided to start trying this month it was 6 days before my apps predicted ovulation date. I've only been monitoring my LH records for just under a week. My results have been:

30th - low (I didn't realise you could scan it in at this point)
1st - high but the line was just visible
2nd - 25%
3rd - 49%
4th - 40%

Does that mean I'm likely to ovulate today? As that would be in line with what my app has predicted too.
Ive been getting EWCM for a while too but it's slowed down a lot since the 2nd.

It's all so confusing.

Thank you so much for your help.

@Lee0511
Yes possibly dtd while you have ewcm. Have you had any one sided cramps? X

@MgW1 we have been DTD every other day since the app said to start trying so fingers crossed. I haven't no but when the ewcm was at its most it was slightly pink which I've heard could be blood caused by ovulation but my LH was low so I have no idea whether I'm ovulating or not or whether it's already happened.

Hi ladies,
I hope your Friday is going well x
Could I have some help with this one? I'm not too familiar with evap lines and indents. I took this cheapie test this lunch time (about 24hrs after possible implantation spotting and cramping)
The line in the picture is very obvious but if you look at the second pic you'll see that when looking at it directly the line is not visible. Pic was taken less than 5mins after I tested.
The line could only be seen in certain light. Now that it's dry there's no line visible that I can see regardless of the lighting....is this what's known as an indent?
(I know the obvious answer to test again tomo but as you all know this stuff would drive you demented so would love some stories of personal experience in the meantime! 😆

@Cienega
You wont get a positive until 3-4 days after implantation. Even then it can take longer, try 12dpo xx

@MgW1
In my logical head I knew that but then I stupidly read about people who had gotten positives just a few hours after implantation so I figured that could happen to me 😂🥴 the things we tell ourselves! 😂

@Cienega I think it's probably too early. Maybe try a FRER Sunday?x
