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? 🤣

@Intrigued2020 oh I’m sorry to hear that ..,,
Yes lucky number 3!! Yes I guess so, but my attempt to track O has been all over the place, I’ve had either flashing or solid smileys all month long apart from 1 week! Reason I carried on using them is Bcoz the first one was 1 day after my period ended which I thought was to early.. Did u take time to settle after stopping the pill?

Intrigued2020 · 30/03/2021 19:45

@BCM2021 - I think it’s normal to be a bit all over the place when you stop the pill because your body can take a while to get back to normal. I had a withdrawal bleed as soon as I stopped and then I had a normal 28 day cycle from there. It was just unfortunate with the ectopic but at least I know I can get pregnant I guess... I just need the bean in the right place next time!

@Intrigued2020 aww sorry to hear that ❤️
Literally my worst fear xx

Intrigued2020 · 31/03/2021 08:40

@LKB89 - I know! It sucks that it happened to me but I guess it is what it is! I’m thinking about booking acupuncture for fertility? I’ve heard good things about it 👌 Do you know anyone that has had it?

LKB89 · 31/03/2021 13:49

@Intrigued2020 can't say I've heard of acupuncture being used for fertility, but I would be interested to have a little google and nosy! Never knew x

Intrigued2020 · 31/03/2021 13:54

@LKB89 - Yeah I have heard so many positive story’s where people have had acupuncture and then conceived even in the first month of sessions! I have just booked one for next Monday and I’m going to see what happens 🤗 My boyfriend thinks I’m crazy because it’s only cycle 3 but I feel I want to get things moving ASAP 😂😂 anyway it can’t hurt 💪

BCM2021 · 31/03/2021 16:37

Haven’t heard of that, good luck be interested to see how it goes! Well AF arrived atleast I roughly know my cycle now! So it’s from day of last period to day of next right?

Intrigued2020 · 31/03/2021 17:17

@BCM2021 - sorry to hear about AF! At least you can start a fresh cycle now and you know you had a proper period etc 🤗 yeah I will defo let you know how it goes! I’m quite excited! Sorry I don’t understand your last question?

BCM2021 · 31/03/2021 18:42

@LKB89 yes you must! Sorry neither do I understand my last question 🤣🤣

Intrigued2020 · 31/03/2021 19:05

😂😂😂

Intrigued2020 · 31/03/2021 19:06

We went to see a new new house today with two bedrooms and I’m already thinking about how I could turn it into a nursery 🙈

BCM2021 · 01/04/2021 06:09

@Intrigued2020 😂 what are we like!

LKB89 · 01/04/2021 07:39

Morning girlies! How are we all?
Day 6 of flashing smileys 😴
It's not too bad mind, I'm on CD13 now and DTD every other day since CD8 following that SMEP plan. If it was flashing today I would have to DTD 4 days in a row 🤣🤣🤣 at least we get a break today & hopefully get my static tomorrow then have a fun bank holiday weekend 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@BCM2021 yeah the day of your first full flow is the day 1 of your next cycle! At least you now know where you're up to, and we'll be here to chat to for your next cycle 🤞🏻❤️

I used to count my spotting days which made my cycles like 30/31 days long but since using OPKS realised it's from first flow. Probably why I never got pregnant in the first 2 month as ovulation would have been well out!! X

BCM2021 · 01/04/2021 11:16

@LKB89 Hiya, ah I see! So from 1st to 31st cycle was 30 days right? Thanks. Yes I bet u need a break 😂, I am also going to try the every other day this time round!

teateaandcoffee · 01/04/2021 12:48

@LKB89 praying for the static smileys haha, were dtd today, following the SMEP. It’s my day 3 of flashing smileys, I’m doing cheapies as well and they are saying low so this month I’m counting the first positive ovulation test as the one I get off the cheapies and following SMEP off that.
If it’s anything like last couple of months I will get my static in next couple of days.
I feel like I’ve got sticks and kits coming out of my ears 😂 I normally keep my counter clear but it looks like a chemistry lab at the moment haha

teateaandcoffee · 01/04/2021 12:52

@Intrigued2020 aw lovely, that’s exciting 😊 I know what you mean, I’m always on Pinterest for room ideas, and some really cute nursery designs 😍

Intrigued2020 · 01/04/2021 13:48

@LKB89- I’m sending all of my positive vibes your way! It sounds like you have hit every possible day so your in the best place for success 🤗🤗 @teateaandcoffee - let us know when you get your positive OPK! haha I think we all feel like scientists at the moment! 😂😂 unfortunately the landlord chose another applicant for the house that we saw! Apparently 40 people applied so it was a long shot! Rented property’s in Bristol are in such high demand! The search continues 🤗

Sa2010 · 02/04/2021 08:29

Morning ladies!wow can't believe how long this thread has got,so lovely to see so many of you have had BFPs!!and to whose who havnt i'm sure you will soon!so i'm really baffled and need some advice,i havnt had a period since the 19th feb!i had some spotting on the 18th and 19th march,my periods are usually 5weeks apart so i wasn't due then and i have never ever spotted so this was a first for me,anyway i had unprotected sex on the 20th now fast foward i still havnt had a period yet i'm cramping bad everyday for the past week so no period for 6weeks and iv tested but all are negative i'm so confused!

LKB89 · 02/04/2021 09:04

Well day 7 of flashing smileys 😩 I got my static this time last month (CD14) this is so annoying!
Barely anything on the cheapie sticks too, not gradually getting darker either. They didn't exactly gradually get darker each day last month but on CD13 it was slightly darker and then CD14 super dark! I'm getting a really bad feeling I'm not ovulating this month 😓 I know it's too soon to tell, just can't shift the feeling. I thought each month would be the same!

@teateaandcoffee literally sticks all over the show, I've had to put them in a spare room, literally getting allover the show 🤣

@Intrigued2020 thank you! I really hope so, just want to see that static smiley now 🥺🤞🏻

@Sa2010 hey! So sorry I'm not much help, I would have thought you could be pregnant being so late for AF but the negative tests have really thrown me! Have you taken a really sensitive test?

teateaandcoffee · 02/04/2021 09:24

@Sa2010 I'm not sure if you're only spotting. I've not experienced myself but it would be worth seeing a gp I think, especially as it's not happened to you before.

@Intrigued2020 oh I remember that really well, missing out on flats where we lived, we had to make a decision on the spot after a 20 min viewing as any later and you would lose out. Really stressful, but also exciting, good luck!

Had my static smiley this morning from Clear Blue but still low on my cheapie strips, so following the SMEP and having a break tonight!

@LKB89 have you had your static smiley yet?

LKB89 · 02/04/2021 09:28

@teateaandcoffee

No 😭😭😭 day 7 of flashing!!! I have a terrible feeling I'm not ovulating this month.

Now you have a static take a cheapie test on your next wee! When I had a static smiley in the AM I took a cheapie at 10:30am too and it went super super dark! X

teateaandcoffee · 02/04/2021 09:50

@LKB89 aw hope that you do, even if it's later than usual. I'm gonna test later, will let you know what happens.

LKB89 · 02/04/2021 10:02

I don't have any EWCM either & I had two days of this already this time last month! Why can't it just be the same each month ffs!

Sa2010 · 02/04/2021 11:05

Thank you ladies i have orderd a frer but surely the normal ones i'm takimg would show something for how late i am,think i'll book in with my gp next week thanks x

teateaandcoffee · 03/04/2021 09:35

@Sa2010 yeah that’s what I was thinking, I know someone whose home pregnancy tests all came back negative, was only when doctors did blood one she got a positive.
It might be that you’re not pregnant but it’s always good to know why, as it could be something else.
