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? 🤣

Hi guys. I’m currently in the TWW, 8DPO. Just wondering if it’s possible to get implantation bleeding at 5DPO? I had two spots of blood in my underwear but nothing since!

@Intrigued2020 oh exciting good luck!!!! 🤞🤞🤞

LKB89 · 29/03/2021 09:06

Morning!

CD10 for me today, so DTD again today & I start the cheapies. Day 3 of flashing smileys!

@BCM2021 weather is sooo nice! Hopefully be able to take the laptop on the garden and work outside this week 😍 thats something to be happy about! Any sign of AF yet?

@Intrigued2020 heeey good to hear from you!! Fingers firmly crossed you'll get the BFP....9 days is still pretty early so keep the faith and try again in a couple of days! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@katieelizabeth34 hey! I wouldn't say it's impossible, could well be!! Although it seems early it could happen!! Hope it is for you 😍🤞🏻

Intrigued2020 · 29/03/2021 09:24

Thanks @BCM2021 🤗 @lkb89 I’m going to try and sit in the garden as well this afternoon! It’s meant to be nearly 21 degrees 🙏 Yeah it is early days! I will defo let you know when I re-test 👌xx

BCM2021 · 29/03/2021 09:36

@Intrigued2020 yes me too! Deffo be working from the garden this week!
@LKB89 oh maybe a solid tomo?! No sign of AF yet, have had cramps on & off since Friday keep expecting it but nada yet!

LKB89 · 29/03/2021 11:26

Well it's still grey up here in Manchester but that's not a shock 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like it will brighten up this afternoon 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Intrigued2020 · 29/03/2021 11:47

Yeah it’s still not sunny in Bristol yet! I’m sat by the window, prepped to go out as soon as it pops out 🤗 It’s a bit chilly without the sun 😂😂

BCM2021 · 29/03/2021 12:26

It’s sunny in Surrey I’m outside! 😎

Intrigued2020 · 29/03/2021 12:50

Ooo! Hopefully it’s heading this way 🤗

LKB89 · 29/03/2021 13:34

Still grey here, typical 🤣

teateaandcoffee · 29/03/2021 14:26

@LKB89 Good luck! :) I'm either CD7 going from first day of full flow, or CD11 going from spotting, so starting the SMEP tomorrow. Ordered some cheap ovulation strips as well so hopefully they will be here tonight. I'm just one day behind you for SMEP so will be testing at same time, can keep each other sane (or not!) haha

@BCM2021 yes, definitely loving the sunny weather, it's really windy where I am so not sitting outside but by a window is good! I am not far away from LKB89, in East Cheshire, it's still chilly up here :) What does the estrogen changes mean if you don't me asking, I'd never thought of using ovulation kits outside of trying to find peak days.

@Intrigued2020 definitely keep us posted, hope you have good luck on Wednesday, CD9 is still plenty of time :)

@katieelizabeth34 I've read that is possible, fingers crossed.

BCM2021 · 29/03/2021 15:02

@teateaandcoffee it’s actually hot here! Not getting much work done lol.I am no expert only from what I’ve read on the CB website, the flashing smileys detect estrogen which rises before LH surge ( the solid smiley) and then one should ovulate, I believe . My skin and hair has been soooo greasy the last 2 weeks and coz I’m having constant flashings/solids pretty much all month I guess my hormones are just all over the show! Honestly my make up needed re doing 2 hours after putting it on 😩

LKB89 · 29/03/2021 16:12

Sunshine is here! Give me the Vitamin D!

@teateaandcoffee super close! We genuinely might had an Xmas day baby 🤣

I downloaded an app called Premom, you can take pics of your sticks and it will give it a rating of low, med, high, peak etc! It's really good I think, as it's quite difficult to read them sticks as to what's high/peak.

I only half hearted used it last month as I was relying on the smileys really, but I'll deffo stick to it this month continuing after peak, along side the SMEP!

They say to use second morning wee for the cheap sticks by the way!!! As your body starts to create the LH in the morning so 3-4 hours after that is best! I use my 2nd wee for this & 1st wee for smileys x

TWW anybody?
teateaandcoffee · 29/03/2021 17:02

@LKB89 ah that's good to know about the wee. I ordered easy@home from amazon, it looks similar in that you upload images.

@BCM2021 Oh ok, that's good to know. I am jealous of your hot weather! Always the same though, if I go to London (pre covid!) I have to remember to dress for a few degrees warmer for getting off the train haha.

Ok, so I've given dh the SMEP schedule, hahaha, so romantic, can't believe it's come to this but there you go lol

LKB89 · 29/03/2021 17:56

@teateaandcoffee haha schedule! So true though. My DH is a brickie & he's proper knackered today after work...I said there's no room to be knackered we are on day 10 🤣🤣🤣 better perk up before I pounce 😏

BCM2021 · 30/03/2021 07:25

@teateaandcoffee the shedule 🤣🤣! I would love to just be casual about it but it’s not happening! Still no AF, hope this is a mega long cycle.. @LKB89 no room to be knackered lol!

LKB89 · 30/03/2021 08:01

@BCM2021 all good, got my day 10 session 🤣

Day 4 of flashing smiley!!

We was casual about it the first 2 months of trying, thinking it would just happen, oh how naive of us 🤣

BCM2021 · 30/03/2021 08:11

@LKB89 yes I never knew ( after getting pregnant accidentally at 19) how small the window is! I honestly had no idea! Well I’m flashing too 🤣 still! I’ve only got 1 more stick then the box is done thank god!

Intrigued2020 · 30/03/2021 12:46

Happy Tuesday everyone! I have pink spotting today so I need to see if it turns in AF or not! At least the sun is shining which is taking my mind off it a bit 😂 If it is AF at least I can have a cider in the sun 👌

BCM2021 · 30/03/2021 13:09

@Intrigued2020 oh hopefully it’s not!! Yes the sun is lovely 😎

LKB89 · 30/03/2021 13:45

@Intrigued2020 hope not 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

BCM2021 · 30/03/2021 18:04

Well still no AF and after 3 days no more cramps. Really wanna get it over with so can start again 🙄 my body’s such a pain!

Intrigued2020 · 30/03/2021 18:21

Aww @BCM2021 that’s so annoying! I know exactly how you feel! Currently on CD 39 and waiting for this spotting to turn into AF! At least then I can start a new cycle! How long are your cycles? Are they long or the usual 28 days?

BCM2021 · 30/03/2021 18:59

@Intrigued2020 oh blimey cd39! Well I came off pill 30th Jan, first period was 1st March so don’t I know really lol, I think this month I will be able to have some idea! But irregular so not helpful 😂

Intrigued2020 · 30/03/2021 19:06

@BCM2021 - Ahh okay! That sounds really good! So this is your first proper cycle off of the pill? I finished my pill at the end of July last year and then had an ectopic pregnancy in October so I had three months off trying. This will be my second cycle trying again so hopefully I will be lucky in my next cycle #luckycyclenumber3 😂😂
