[BubsNumber2inTheMaking]

Here we go again girls! 💕 Wishing you all so much baby dust for this cycle! 👶🏼
CD4 for me today, cycle #60000000 at least. 🤦🏼‍♀️ TTC bubs #2 since Jan 2020.
2 miscarriages, umpteen national lockdowns, at least a stone heavier 🙄 Let's do this 💪❤️

@bubblegeek22 Im in FW too, dtd last two nights think will miss tonight then do tomorrow and weds and hopefully covered!

Im hoping to fall without using opks too though I did use them for my first pregnancy so will see.

Help help help!
Morning ladies, I hope you're all well.
I need some advice please, my first month using the CB OPK.
Tested Saturday late morning, and nothing, tested yesterday morning, still nothing, have just tested this morning and I have a static smiley.....is this normal?! Slightly panicking as I'm not sure what to make of it! I was expecting some flashing smileys at some point....
Thank you in advance xx
(Sorry posting this in two threads as I know you're all very helpful) x

Hey @BWaiting, what CD did you start testing? If you waited a bit late to start testing it's normal that it went straight from nothing to static as the First one or two tests will always be empty circle as it establishes a base line, even if it should have been flashing smileys

Thanks for your reply @Fifi1086 I started testing on CD10 as that's the day they arrived, I should have been more prepared and ordered earlier but was in two minds.
CD12 and I've got the static. (I have a 26-28day cycle, my app tells me I will O on CD14)
Currently lay here with my legs up! Just made my husband get back out of his work clothes as soon as I got that smiley, there was no way I was going to miss it this time even if the smiley was wrong.

@BWaiting I’ve just come on to ask about the CB tests too 😂 But I’ve had the same issue as you once before, I went from the blank circle to static smiley, with no flashy smiley. If I were you I would treat it like it’s right but also continue DTD for the next week or so to make sure??
So I started testing on day8, had a flashy face on day9&10 but just now on day 11 I got my static!? Isn’t that very early to Ov? When I’ve tracked ov before I always ovulate later in the month.
Does anyone know if ovulation can fluctuate that much🤯

@GreysEmma yep! Will DTD every day I think. I always end up kicking myself when I get a BFN that I didn’t do it more during FW so this month I not taking chances 💪🏼 Did you fall easily with your first? Xx

Sorry today is CD10, so I got my static smiley on day 10, that can’t be right can it?

@Clapham4
I've had this before where is going straight to static, so I started testing earlier. (CD8/9).
I would just DTD every other day for the week to cover all bases.
Sometimes I get the static on CD10 and I have a 28 day cycle (that never budges), which I think is early.
This month I'm doing without OPK & based on temping, apparently I ovulated on day 16 🤷🏻, I DTD until CD14, so I think I missed the window.
Currently on CD27 and just waiting to see if AF shows up tomorrow.

(I'm 33 TTC#1 on cycle 7)

Thanks @JeanieJ

I’ve been Googling and ovulation can fluctuate so now I’m thinking there must be months when I’ve missed it 🙄 I always thought I was after CD14 and CB confirmed that on other months.

I would think you’re still in with a good chance 🤗 that’s only 2 days, and it only takes one doesn’t it! Fingers crossed for you xx

I'm on CD 38 and no signs of AF, I must have ovulated later than I thought so probably missed it, just want AF to appear so we can start again!

@Sparkles512 how long is your cycle? Would it be time for a test?

@Clapham4 maybe, but I've had PMS since CD20 (irritable & insomnia), so I'm resigned to think it's not my month.

Just want to move onto the next cycle now!

@jeaniej they can be irregular but usually under 34 days.
I did a test on Sunday morning BFN 😢
Usually I have bad cramps for a few days before my period but not yet so not sure when it's going to make an appearance!

@Clapham4 I know what you mean, Im trying to dtd everyday in FW so know Ive covered all bases!

With my first I came off the pill in May and fell pregnant in September. The cycle I became pregnant was the first one I used opks so not sure if I was just missing ovulation the previous months!

Can anyone offer any advise here at this is very unusual for me? Cycles are always 25 days, CD 10 today, usually OV on day 12 so in FW right now.
Today I have EWCM but was tinged with blood which is unusual for CD10, it's almost like what you get at the end of a period. I'm wondering if my AF really wasn't quite finished, or possibly implantation bleeding? Never had that in previous PGs so very odd for me!

@bubblegeek22
I have had tiny of tinge in ewcm before now , its nothing to worry about. You may have had it before an not noticed if you werent ttc? I inspect now i am ttc but would not have done in the past xx

@MgW1 this is very true!! You're probably right 😅 it's like the symptom spotting in TWW every little thing!

@bubblegeek22
Im totally the same 🤪 its hard work!!! X

@gracie2307
@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
How are doing ladies ?? Xx

@MgW1 hi lovely, I'm 'ok'...still waiting to hear about work 😬 I've got a meeting in for 9:30am tomorrow so should know either way by then 🤞
It's completely distracted me from ttc though! I'm in my FW but have only dtd today, app reckons I'll ov in 3 days. I've started using opks today but I got a different brand to usual and they look crap! So just going to dtd every day this week and hope for the best!
How are you getting on? Are you in your tww now?xx

Hey @MgW1! Im alright thank you how are you? Im cd24, 4dpo. Feeling TIRED!! So unreal lol. And crampy even since 2dpo on and off. No idea anymore what my body is doing 🤣 Hows things going for you? What dpo are you? Ive done a day 21 blood test kit for progesterone just to see how my levels are doing will keep you posted Xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Yes i am and my boobs hurt like hell!!! AF due valentines !! Lets hope it stays away 🤪
Sorry to hear about your job , been a stressful wait xx

@gracie2307
Hey , thats good about day 21 bloods , due you normally get cramps this early? I have had cramps too , feeling positive but honestly can't tell either way. Got my next covid jab booked in so If i am ot preg this month , il take a month out to have the booster .... just want the shops to open now ! Fed up 🙄 xx

@MgW1 ooo that's exciting! That would be an excellent v.day gift if the hubby can pull that one off! 🤣 Good sign if the baps are hurting too - fingers firmly crossed for you lovely! 🤞🤞🤞
I heard from the hospital over the weekend about my fertility clinic appointment. They told me week before last that all appointments were cancelled until further notice due to covid but then called on Friday to offer me an appointment for the 18th Feb🤗 It's just a telephone call and so probably just a chat about where I'm at, what we've tried, what can we look at further...but it's a start! I'll be on my 2ww then so a good distraction 👌 Will feed back anything useful to this group x

@MgW1 Never from 2dpo often I get them around 5/6dpo. Ugh this lockdown is dragging! Which jab have you had, Pfizer or Oxford? Did you get any symptoms? I hope this is our month! My AF is due around 15th/16th Feb. Xx

Hey @BubsNumber2inTheMaking how are you? Just wanted to wish you good luck for tomorrow keeping everything crossed for you at work 😊 how you doing? Wishing you lots of baby dust for your fertile period xxx

Hey @Dogmum13 how are you? Did you get your results back? Hope you are all good xxx
