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? 🤣

@BCM2021 well I certainly hope it doesn't take us months 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yeah literally just keep telling myself I'm not now, so weird, saves the disappointment I suppose @teateaandcoffee or maybe I should stay positive but it's hard. I'm jot 'textbook' what's Google's says is implantation 😂

So today had one little bit of light brown again so it's deffo getting less. Just mad how many days!!! Sorry to keep you updated on my daily tmi CM posts 😂😂😂

@Intrigued2020 have you started your OPKS yet, how you getting on?

Intrigued2020 · 18/03/2021 21:05

@LKB89 - Thanks for checking in on me 🤗 how are you doing? Sorry I’ve been a bit silent on here recently but my cycle has been soooo long! Currently on day 27 and yesterday I had my first faint line on my OPK! This morning it was slightly darker so we DTD but it hasn’t turned positive yet so I have no idea if I have ovulated yet! I feel twingy pains so I think it’s happening now... going to check again tomorrow to see how the OPK is looking but temp dropped this morning so hopefully I have! It’s just so frustrating that everything takes so long!! how are you getting on? Your in the TWW aren’t you? xx

LKB89 · 18/03/2021 22:14

Yaaaay for the line on the OPK!!!
Grab your man 🥳🥳🥳 good sign with the temp drop too, you may well be on your way 🤞🏻🤞🏻 then you'll join is in the dreaded TWW!!

Yeah I'm 10DPO today urghhhh doing my head in already! I just want to know but refuse to take a test now till Monday. I had a BFN on Wednesday so the save that heartache I'm just going to see if AF shows now & test Monday if not x

Intrigued2020 · 19/03/2021 07:53

@LKB89 - Yeah I’m happy that I’ve finally seen something 😍😍 Good luck for Monday! It’s so hard to resist isn’t it! I’ll be crossing my fingers for you ☺️

teateaandcoffee · 19/03/2021 11:53

@Intrigued2020 that's good timing, you've got the weekend :)

Just wiped and have very faint brown spotting. Not sure if implantation or AF but I'm testing tomorrow anyway so will find out!

LKB89 · 19/03/2021 12:29

And on the 6th day of spotting AF has reared her ugly head. Proper red now after a wee.

What on earth has gone on with my body this week! I'm on CD26 too 🤷🏻‍♀️, made my LP short...usually my cycles are 28-30 days. I think I give up, I'm actually so gutted 😞

BCM2021 · 19/03/2021 12:49

@LKB89 oh no!!!! Sorry 😞 so annoying!! Honestly it’s all a guessing game!

LKB89 · 19/03/2021 15:12

@BCM2021 thought I was pretty clued up on my cycle but since TTC it's like I don't know myself and it's all gone haywire!

Well here's to a Christmas baby 🤞🏻

Fingers firmly crossed for you guys still in the TWW!

Intrigued2020 · 19/03/2021 15:23

@teateaandcoffee - hopefully I can DTD at the right times 🤗🤗 let us know how testing goes tomorrow! I’m crossing my fingers for you! Oh no gutted for you @LKB89! 😞😞 Our body’s are so annoying 😩 at least your cycles aren’t too long so you can start trying again soon! xx

BCM2021 · 19/03/2021 16:20

@teateaandcoffee good luck tomo!! 😀!!

BCM2021 · 19/03/2021 16:22

@LKB89 mines always haywire! Even the smileys! Men have it easy huh!!

teateaandcoffee · 20/03/2021 06:40

Just tested, no luck this month 😒 I’m going to see my gp as it’s almost a year now and I’m 36. Will let you guys know how I get on.
Will also be enjoying a beverage this evening 😁 x

LKB89 · 20/03/2021 07:44

Aww so sorry @teateaandcoffee definitely get to your GP now just incase there is anything they can help with. Really is such a shit feeling, I sunk a bottle of red last night in commiseration.

Do you have children already?
I'm 31 and don't have any yet, tempted to go to the GP myself, I know I haven't been trying for long but I only have the 1 ovary so worries me.

@Intrigued2020 not long at all, I ovulated CD15 last cycle so just a mere 2 weeks and we can baby dance again 🤣
Makes my due date so close to Xmas day though, not sure how I feel about that but I can't skip a month, it would be my luck to only ovulate that month!

Intrigued2020 · 20/03/2021 07:56

Sorry to hear about AF @teateaandcoffee definitely enjoy a drink this weekend! You deserve it! @LKB89 - Yeah 2 weeks will fly past! I know what you mean about Christmas! I feel the same about next month but I know that I will still want to try because I don’t want to waste another month 😂 I’m not going to use OPKs next month though because they have definitely stressed me out this month 🙈🙈

teateaandcoffee · 20/03/2021 08:21

@Intrigued2020 yes I’ve got a little girl. We started trying when I was 32, I got pregnant first time but miscarried, then got pregnant again 6 months after that. I knew it wouldn’t happen straight away this time round. I had c section and difficult recovery with lots of pain so I’ve always worried what’s happened there, been the doctors twice about it but no problem found.
Going to get the ball rolling this week (not Monday cus they won’t see you unless you’re actually dying 😂)

teateaandcoffee · 20/03/2021 08:23

@BCM2021 going shopping later, I actually am in more of a cocktail mood than wine, will see what I come home with haha

LKB89 · 20/03/2021 08:42

@teateaandcoffee ahh I was going to say at least you know you 'work' but I see you have some difficulties with knowing since the c section 😔 it's good they haven't found anything but I can totally understand your worrying, I have it with my lone ovary!

Oooo I'm on cocktails tonight actually, I'm naughtily going to my mates, she lost her grandad on Thursday so needs some girl time and I could do with a good natter too, it's lonely this TTC malarkey, only me not a big gathering or anything...we have the ingredients for pornstars and espressos 😋😋😋😋 I'll cheers to you tonight 🍹

teateaandcoffee · 20/03/2021 08:48

@LKB89 I didn’t realise you had one ovary, it is a worry cus you have literally no idea what’s going on inside. It’s okay for blokes everything is there, pretty straight forward!
Yeah it is lonely, I really miss seeing people, can’t wait to get back to normal!

LKB89 · 20/03/2021 09:00

I had a dermoid cyst removal 4 years ago, they had to take the ovary & tube too as it was all just entwined together and wasn't actually functioning anyway! The cyst was the size of an aubergine 🍆 can you imagine....
So literally have one shot, and that scares me! However the other ovary was all fine when they opened me up 🤞🏻and my gynae said it will compensate for the other 🤞🏻
We got married Dec 2019 and honeymooned over New Year so wasn't ready before then, then covid hit and I didn't think it would have been very nice to have a baby during that time....now it's just getting on and covid hasn't gone away so it's time!

Aww I know, it's absolutely terrible, haven't seen her since July 😫 somethings got to give!

Life essay there 🤣 glad I can come here and offload though xx

teateaandcoffee · 20/03/2021 09:52

@LKB89 oo that must have been very painful prior to the surgery. Good news that you’re other one is all good. I know it won’t stop you worrying though.
I’m sure you’ve heard lots of encouraging stories but someone I know had an ectopic pregnancy resulting in one ovary being removed and she was pregnant again within I think 6 months.
It’s horrible not seeing friends, especially if you’ve had a bereavement or are struggling. I think you have to balance lockdown rules, I would be doing the same in your situation!

Intrigued2020 · 20/03/2021 11:09

@teateaandcoffee & @LKB89 Enjoy your cocktails! Everyone always says to stop worrying but I think it’s impossible especially in lockdown when you have nothing else to do! I’m actually looking forward to not having sex for a while after my FW ends as it has really not been fun the past 2 weeks 🙈 I think me and my OH defo need a break from it for a few days 😂😂

BCM2021 · 20/03/2021 11:49

@teateaandcoffee ah no!! How many dpo are u? Might it be to early? Only from what I’ve read? Some ppl getting later bfp. I’m not going to test until Wednesday going from the last smiley! So we shall see.

teateaandcoffee · 20/03/2021 16:22

@BCM2021 I’m 15DPO roughly but also I’ve got fresh blood this afternoon so sure it’s af.
Still trying to pick a cocktail, maybe White Russians.

BCM2021 · 20/03/2021 17:32

@teateaandcoffee ah sorry how rubbish!! I’m having a hot bath curry n aload of chocolate! Sending hugs 😒

BCM2021 · 20/03/2021 18:41

My tests aren’t arriving till Monday as I don’t want them in the house, just been rooting through my draws trying to find something for my skin as it’s breaking out and what do I find a cheap Waitrose test! Can I help myself? no! Waited 10 and looked and I swear I see something! It’s faint as hell though if I can figure out how to attach I will! Not getting excited as it’s soooooooo faint barely there
