Hi guys! I believe I ovulated today (CD14) after I got a static smiley on my OPK yesterday evening, this was after a flashy smiley in the morning! We DTD last night and now comes the start of the dreaded two week wait! Does any one fancy driving themselves crazy with symptom spotting and trying to to take a test too early with me? 🤣

First flashing smiley this morning SmileSmileSmile I only did my first test yesterday, on a bit of a whim as I'd had ewcm, but my period has only just stopped! Who knows, I'm putting my faith in the smileys now haha

@ACMJ oh no I'm so so sorry 😟 truly am, gutted for you. Lots of love to you ❤️ xx

LKB89 · 06/03/2021 11:32

@teateaandcoffee yay! Welcome to the smiley club!
I had a flashing this AM too, CD13 and really clear CM too!
DTD just incase, may have a static tomorrow?!

teateaandcoffee · 06/03/2021 12:58

@ACMJ I'm so sorry, I'd had the page open a while before posting so hadn't seen your post. I hope you're doing ok and are resting up. It is a really tough thing to go through and I hope that the follow up brings positive news and some hope for you. I went through a miscarriage too at 8 weeks, it was hard. I have everything crossed for you.

@LKB89 DTD now until 2nd day of static smiley Smile glad it's the weekend Smile hope you get a static soon!

BCM2021 · 06/03/2021 13:26

@ACMJ sending hugs v sorry x

1992EM · 06/03/2021 13:39

@ACMJ I am so sorry 😔 take care ❤

LKB89 · 07/03/2021 08:23

I got my static smiley today 🎉
2 days of high and now static!

CD14, pretty text book that isn't it?!

If only I knew my body more previous months and that the start of AF was actually full flow red and not the brown you get for a few days...I've been out on my predictions by days!

teateaandcoffee · 07/03/2021 08:53

@LKB89 snap woop woop!

Only one day of flashing, and only 9 days since first day of proper flow. So god knows what is happening with my cycle, but probably explains why we've been trying for nearly a year with no luck! 🤦🤣 Had about 6 days of light bleeding / brown before actual flow, maybe my actual start date is somewhere in between.
Actually a relief using these after bbt charting (not very well) and now I can just try to forget about ttc until af is due (famous last words)

BCM2021 · 07/03/2021 11:24

@teateaandcoffee yay smiley! Can I ask, your period was 9 days ago( started 9 days ago) is that what u mean? Just finished mine, but coz my periods/ cycle are so irregular I don’t know when to start the smileys again?!

LKB89 · 07/03/2021 12:01

@BCM2021 yeaaaah happy static smiley day! Welcome to the crew 🤣

Now begins the dreaded TWW though, only downside 😣

LKB89 · 07/03/2021 12:02

@teateaandcoffee I tagged the wrong person in below 🤣🤣🤣 I need more coffee! @BCM2021 x

teateaandcoffee · 07/03/2021 12:10

@BCM2021yes, my first full flow day was 9 days ago, I started testing 2 days ago. But I had 6 days of brown spotting before that. I would just start testing now, I definitely have irregular cycles in terms of flow starting (not length), feel like this is where I've been going wrong!

@LKB89 two week wait 🙈 fingers crossed this time!!! I'm drinking pomegranate juice every day now haha

BCM2021 · 07/03/2021 12:34

@teateaandcoffee right got it, thanks!

BCM2021 · 07/03/2021 16:21

When do you guys start testing dpo? I don’t want to drive myself insane last like month 🙈, but u read so many different things like bfp at 8dpo so hard not to! Just curious of most peoples timing x

teateaandcoffee · 07/03/2021 16:45

@BCM2021 it depends on how I'm feeling 🤣 I wouldn't usually test more than 4 days before AF is due, I've done that before and had a negative when I was pregnant.
I usually just see what symptoms I have, if I don't feel pregnant I'll wait til af due date, if I do I usually test a little earlier.

LKB89 · 07/03/2021 16:58

@BCM2021 I didn't need to test this time as my brown AF stuff came 2/3 days before my actual period was due so i just knew the witch was coming!
Last time I tested 2 days before but also neggy! I don't have children either so don't really know what's the best.

I have the CB early detection and the FRER so I'll be inclined to test maybe on the Friday to see if I can have a bevy or not 🤣 I come on Mondays usually....

teateaandcoffee · 07/03/2021 18:13

@LKB89 this is exactly why I usually test early 🤣 to be honest I don't think I would bother testing for a week or so, if having a nice weekend drink wasn't at stake 🤣🙈

BCM2021 · 07/03/2021 18:30

@teateaandcoffee @LKB89 ok thanks guys! The amount of money I spent on tests last month was ridiculous I don’t want to do that again this month, it was like I went mad lol!

teateaandcoffee · 07/03/2021 22:39

@BCM2021 yeah I've been there too, I found some out of date ones recently 🤦 wish I'd passed them on to someone

BCM2021 · 08/03/2021 06:15

@teateaandcoffee so glad I asked u about the smileys, just tested and it’s static smiley , not even flashing day 8??!!

teateaandcoffee · 08/03/2021 07:56

@BCM2021 woohoo! static smileys!
Good job you tested!!
Aw I'm glad there we're all due at the same time, fingers crossed ladies Smile

BCM2021 · 08/03/2021 08:28

@teateaandcoffee yes good timing! Have u had no flashing straight to static smiley? I’m now wishing I tested yesterday! Isn’t day 8 early? Sorry for all the questions I’m new to all this!

teateaandcoffee · 08/03/2021 10:43

@BCM2021I had one day just a circle, then one day flashing smiley. Last month I started testing at the same time and had about 4 days circle, 2 days flashing smiley before a static.
Hopefully the irregularality explains why it isn't happening straight away! I'm sure other people have a more regular cycle than me!

teateaandcoffee · 08/03/2021 10:43

@BCM2021 how long have you been trying if you don't mind me asking?
