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 woohoo, no messing about, straight to static smileys! Similar happened to me this month, it said started OPKs cd10 but I had my first static smiley on cd11 so it was close.

BCM2021 · 09/04/2021 09:26

@teateaandcoffee but if you supposedly O 12-14 days before period due to start isn’t that to early my period due on say 30th?! Confused . Com 😂

teateaandcoffee · 09/04/2021 12:56

@BCM2021 yeah I’m not sure then! Could you do some cheapies as well? Or what does the stick look like when you eject it? If the test line is darker than the control line then it’s probably accurate.
Hope you get to the bottom of it, it’s a minefield!

BCM2021 · 09/04/2021 13:06

@teateaandcoffee oh I didn’t think to look at lines! I didn’t get cheapies too as I drive myself mad enough with one set of sticks /faces never mind adding more to the mix 🤣! Who knows! Lol. X

teateaandcoffee · 09/04/2021 14:25

@BCM2021 no I know, i think that’s what put me off them for so long as well! Haha it can just be a bit much!

BCM2021 · 09/04/2021 18:20

@teateaandcoffee it’s messed up my SMEP plan as I fear it’s to early so will dtd loads now & miss the actually predicted date! Think I’m gonna go 2 on 1 off for the new few days! Lol x

teateaandcoffee · 10/04/2021 10:52

@BCM2021 yeah that’s really annoying that you can’t follow the plan fully but I’m sure it will be fine, you haven’t missed your peak so you still have a very good chance!

LKB89 · 10/04/2021 20:35

Ahh not them silly smileys again @BCM2021 !
Just get DTD enough over the next week 🤞🏻

I'm 5 DPO today, I am super super gassy (TMI) really not like me this! Hoping it's a good sign? Hate this TWW you know 😅

BCM2021 · 11/04/2021 12:27

@LKB89 ha ha hopefully! Yep curse of the smileys! Gonna try 2 on 1 off over the fertile window & see if that’s catches! Atleast it was early this month in which case I’m covered !
How’s everyone doing? X

teateaandcoffee · 11/04/2021 17:47

@BCM2021 sounds like a plan 😊

Got everything crossed for everyone 😊
I’m 8dpo, both boobs sore this month 😬 probably the best symptoms I’ve had since trying! think I will test on Friday morning. Having a nice weekend between snow, hail, rain and sunshine 😂🤪

BCM2021 · 11/04/2021 18:26

@teateaandcoffee I know! Crazy 1 min sun now it’s heavy snow here! Both that’s good!! Ah fingers crossed 🤞 for u Friday 😬😬!!

LKB89 · 11/04/2021 19:57

@BCM2021 can't go wrong with that plan! 🤞🏻 lots of luck!

Weekend hasn't been bad, I just feel a bit deflated today. Have had brown discharge again, in my kickers and a couple of times after a wee, not all the time. This happened last month too, everyday from 4DPO to the start of AF, initially thought (hoping) implantation but it went on for the whole time then AF arrived anyway.

Started today on 6DPO no other symptoms as such other than yesterday super gassy and bloated, today had some AF style cramps and that spotting. It's like creamy like discharge but with light brown? Sorry for the TMI.
Don't know what to think but you know when you have a bad feeling?

Think I'll get over it, just meh today!

teateaandcoffee · 11/04/2021 22:15

@LKB89 aw hope it’s implantation, I know how you feel though. It’s just hard and until you have that test result it is horrible. Hope you have a better day tomorrow x

Abbey29 · 11/04/2021 22:43

Hi All :) please could I join :)

This is our first month TTC. I am 29 and feel really out of my depth! I am 6po and I have started to have period cramps that are quite tight and I feel like I'm full of gas just so bloated. I have never done this before so I have no idea if I am just going mad.

Hope everyone is safe and well Biscuit

BCM2021 · 12/04/2021 07:29

@LKB89 oh no! Sorry ur feeling rubbish, yes it could be either? So hard trying to track every symptom, hopefully it’s not AF! When are u due on? Fingers crossed 🤞!!

BCM2021 · 12/04/2021 07:32

@Abbey29 welcome! To the madness! Hopefully they are good signs!!

Abbey29 · 12/04/2021 07:48

I hope so as I just question everything :( I still have 6 days until my AF.

LKB89 · 12/04/2021 09:00

Definitely AF on the way, much more darker brown and thicker this morning like the start of AF for sure.
I'm only CD24 and only 7DPO, so if I come on in the next couple of days that makes my luteal phase short which isn't great 🥺

Best believe I'm off to the beer garden tonight, pretty fed up of all this TTC now. So frustrating!

Think I'll be calling my GP now 😔

LKB89 · 12/04/2021 09:01

Welcome @Abbey29
Lots of luck to you! 🥰

BCM2021 · 12/04/2021 09:21

@LKB89 oh really how annoying ffs!! I’m not to sure what luteal phase even is?! It’s so hard isn’t it this stress each month. How long have u been trying again? 😩

LKB89 · 12/04/2021 09:43

@BCM2021 in the short, your luteal phase is the days between ovulation and the start of your AF & this is where your uterine lining grows to support the fertilised egg, a short phase doesn't give it enough time to develop as it needs to enable the egg to stick 😔 feel worried now....X

BCM2021 · 12/04/2021 14:04

@LKB89 right I see, these terms are all new to me. Don’t worry yet absolutely nothing could be wrong, how long has you been trying again I can’t remember?

LKB89 · 12/04/2021 14:07

Sorry @BCM2021 only since December, month 5 this is, so I know I've got a while to go yet tbh, I shouldn't be so worried but I can't help myself, with my 1 ovary saga!

Just panicking a bit! I've called the doctors and got a phone appointment tomorrow. Even if they just check my bloods I will feel better x

BCM2021 · 12/04/2021 15:06

@LKB89 no I completely get it, with my month last month of mainly faces every day! I was diagnosing myself with all kinds of things 😂! It can be really stressful this stuff! Hopefully a call with give you some reassurance and yes bloods. Are bloods to test if you are ovulating? I have no idea!

Abbey29 · 12/04/2021 15:59

So I tested today :( using a first response 6 days early test. Got a BFN. Could this be case maybe. I didn't realise it should be 6 days before your MISSED period. Now just moping around feeling bloody awful :( Hope everyone is good Biscuit
