@sunflowersaremyfav93 sorry I can't help you out on the CB digital. There are lots of reports online of it not picking up peaks peaks people getting pregnant anyway so would go with you regular one. Best of luck and enjoy your night.

So a quick update from me. I was having so many symptoms last weekend and early in the week. A lot of them have disappeared. But last night and again tonight I have an awful pain in my pelvic area. I also have some back pain, very low down, heartburn and feel slightly nauseous. I'm not sure what it is. I am not wondering do I have a kidney infection and have I had it for a while. My period is due on Saturday but that's based on a 29 day cycle. It came on day 27 last month but would usually be 29/30 days. So I've no idea what is going on. I do have some tests here and I think ill do one in the morning and if it's negative I might ring the doctor. I would have a high pain threshold but the pain is very uncomfortable so would like to be seen by the doctor before the weekend. I am also due to go back to work on Monday so will have a lot less free time next week.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 the first time you use those sticks it will always come up as low fertility as a base to measure so do it again today and something else might read. I found these so helpful! I didn't get a peak till day 11 and had stopped testing the day before at 10 but a lady on here said she didn't get it to 11 so tried and voila. Good luck!

@NewbieB congratulations! I didn't your post about the bleeding but hopefully it's all okay!

I'm 12 DPO and a BFN. I'm trying not to be disappointed as ifs first cycle ttc and it's only been a month of the pill but you can't help it. Ive felt so so sick all week and super emotional and tired so maybe it's AF about to make an appearance. Very confusing!

Hope everyone's okay!xxx

@princesscallie oh that sounds uncomfortable hope you're okay!

Omg @Arrierttyclock I was going to leave it and get on with the TWW but I saw your message, did it using FMU shot a static smiley!!!!!
We've DTD every night since Friday last week apart from Monday night... should we do it again today? And then I'll be on the TWW from tomorrow?
Thank you sooooo much!!!!!!

@Arrierttyclock thank you. Hoping everything ok but it’s a waiting game.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I used those sticks when getting unclear results from other ones and had a static smiley straight away- did it that day and the next and boom. 👍🏼 I would deffo do it again today if poss

I can't even tell you how relieved I am! I thought I hadn't ovulated and was like why the first cycle of all cycles?! Do you think DTD today is enough? We've BD'd soooo much over the last week, this girl needs a break haha! @NewbieB

@sunflowersaremyfav93 i bet! I’m no expert but I got my peak in the PM and hadn’t been having sex the days before which is why we did it that night and following morn. I should think today is enough though?

Thanks @newbie we'll def DTD today and then see how we feel tomorrow. It's starting to feel like DTD just for this reason.
How are you feeling? You must be 13dpo now? Any more symptoms?

@sunflowersaremyfav93 good plan. I’m waiting to hear back from the doc. Still been bleeding very lightly- pinky or browny discharge. I am just praying it’s all ok. I’ve been very bloated and constipated then today had to rush to loo. Also felt a bit sick at night time. Hoping these are good signs.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 ah yayyyy!! We had DTD quite a lot before and were shattered so we just DTD the day of the peak but not after. Next time tho I'm going to try harder to do it the next day after peak though. I feel the same! We haven't done it since I think he's still recovering 😂

@NewbieB hope you get some answers soon xxx

Morning Ladies,

Thought I would pop on and catch up with you all.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 yay for peak!!! Glad you finally caught it. I think the empty circle might have been because you started testing too late in your cycle so it registered a high as a baseline, hence going from empty to static straight away!Get busy Girl!! You usually ovulate 24 hours after a peak, so I imagine you will ovulate tonight or tomorrow and will start your TWW Sunday-ish.

@sendmetoflorida how is the TWW going?!

@newbieb keeping my fingers crossed for you lovely x

@princesscallie sounds intense, think getting checked in with a dr sounds like a good idea if you are in that much pain! Did you do a test this morning?

@arrierttyclock 12DPO is still quite early and as they say you are not out until AF shows up!

18DPO today and starting to feel anxiety creep in!! I started spotting last time around 23DPO and miscarried at 25DPO so I think next week is going to be a bit of a tough one. Having said that, I do feel much different this time round. Ive had little to no cramping (I cramped really badly the entire time last time) and my boobs hurt a lot more (comes and goes but when its hurting there is no denying it - struggled to sleep last night due to the pain)
I have still been testing everyday and the lines seem to slowly be getting darker (I know the IC's take ages!) I have had 2 dye stealers on FRER and got my 2-3 weeks digital on Wednesday so looking like its going in the right direction. I am hoping I start feeling more positive soon!

@NewbieB ooh they sound like good signs, when are you planning on testing again?

@arrierttyclock I’m hoping all the DTD we’ve done with help as sleek lives in the Fallopian tubes for up to 7 days, is that right? I’ll try my luck tomorrow as well but I think he’s very much feeling like ok this has been a whole week now?!

@cookiemonster3001 I’ve sent OH out for more pomegranate juice and pineapple haha!! I have my socks on and hot water bottle will be under my feet this afternoon soon as well haha!! Then I know I’ve done all I can!
Ooh this sounds all good for you, it’s completely normal to feel how you’re feeling but I really do have a good feeling. Once you get past that mark you’ll hopefully be able to enjoy it a bit more as well. I have everything crossed for you (we’ll both legs but... LOL)!!!

@CookieMonster3001

how exciting!!!

2WW feels like forever!! 7DPO now, I've got a clear blue early detection test ready, the calculator thing online said to take it on Tuesday which will be 11DPO. Does that sound about right? It's literally all I ever think about 😂

@SendmetoFlorida haha cant say I can help! Even though I said I wouldnt, I started testing at like 8/9DPO!

Hope you're okay @CookieMonster3001 got everything crossed for you.

AF just arrived so I'm out. Feel okay about it, I think it was good that I took the test this morning and knew it was negative so I was kind of expecting it but still abit sad!

@Arrierttyclock ahh no sorry to hear AF arrived! Fingers crossed for next month! In the meantime, relax, eat all the food and drink all the drink!

I had some spotting again (brown this time). This freaks me out. Don't have any cramping. I really hope it was just one time thing.

@NewbieB Oh wow congratulations! Hopefully it was implantation. If you look at implantation images (gross I know) on google some can seem more like period heavy. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
@princesscallie sounds promising, they are all symptoms I've had and the backache is particularly bad. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼
@Arrierttyclock Ah sorry it was BFN. It's ok to be upset, it's disappointing, especially when you have symptoms that could point to pregnancy. Sending hugs your way!
@sunflowersaremyfav93 So glad you got your peak 😊 fingers crossed 🤞🏼
@CookieMonster3001 I can imagine your are feeling very anxious, hopefully that will lessen somewhat when you get past this week. Just try to keep busy and hopefully it will go quickly for you 😊
@velam brown usually means old blood so hopefully it's nothing but your body adjusting to everything. Take it easy this weekend.

Well I'm apparently 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant but I'm having serious anxiety that it's all in my head 🙈 The fact I had no implantation bleeding is what started it and then I watched some medical drama which had a lady with a hysterical pregnancy in 😫 now I keep thinking I'm imagining any symptoms 😭 I've never found out this early before and have always had medical help to find out (drs pregnancy test, blood test, transvaginal scan, early ultrasound scan etc) so I'm completely doubting myself! I'm going to have to buy more pregnancy tests today to check but my DH will kill me 🙈

@arrierttyclock Really sorry to hear AF arrived, I second what cookie said... eat all the food and drink all the drink! I hope you’re ok. It’s such a rollercoaster isn’t it. On to the next cycle though. 💖

@kayeyeem I’m sending you love, it makes total sense how you’re feeling, I’m not going to say try and relax because it’s hard to relax and it’s just so normal how you’re feeling. Positive thinking though, it’ll be ok.

Update from me - so got my static smiley yesterday morning (but the colour on my IC was rising from Thurs night) so I guess I be ovulated/am ovulation today. Anyway we DTD Fri, Sat, Sun, Tues - Thurs and last night prob when it mattered the most we just couldn’t do it it felt soooo forced and just want even enjoyable so we just left it. We’ll try again today but I think we’re all baby danced out. I’ve been reading online and am reading different things about how long sperm lives.
I’m so annoyed at myself, we went at it every day and my peak came too late. Do you guys think I’m out for the month for jot doing it last night?

@sunflowersaremyfav93 sounds like you've been busy! We had the same problem... DTD so many days in a row that one night we were just too tired then I got positive OPK next morning! So annoying 😂 so we DTD that morning and next morning! 8DPO now and trying to hold out to take an early response test on Tuesday...
@Kayeyeem fingers crossed all goes well for you. I'm sure I read somewhere that implantation bleeding isn't actually that common!
@Arrierttyclock sorry about AF, fingers crossed for next cycle.

@NewbieB how are you getting on? Hope all is okay.

THIS IS THE LONGEST 2 WEEKS EVER

@sunflowersaremyfav93 fairplay for going for it! It can be hard work when forced for sure! Good luck!

@SendmetoFlorida you could get a positive on 11DPO- mine was 10 DPO in the aft. Good luck!

@Arrierttyclock sorry AF arrived - hope you are feeling positive about trying again.

@Kayeyeem - totally get how you are feeling - I’m imagining all sorts the spotting could have been but also that i’m imagining any symptoms.
Trying to avoid testing for a bit and will next week again and hoping to see the weeks rise on the CB digital.

@SendmetoFlorida it’s feels like such a long time doesn’t it! Looking forward to hearing how it goes x
UPDATE
Thanks all for the lovely comments. Doc said could all be perfectly normal implantation bleeding but to do another test in a couple of weeks. Currently not spotting - had brown jelly like discharge this morning (which apparantly is normal!). I’m hoping for the best Yet trying not to get too excited. Still feeling exhausted and pukey which I’m hoping are good signs. 🤞🏼

Hi ladies - does anyone know if when you get the static smile does that count as your O day? Or the day after? Static smile on Friday morning and BD on Friday and Saturday... and had ovulation pains Sat Eve (yesterday). Would that be ok? We had a stressful week so no BD on flashing smiley days (but only started testing on Weds properly). BD on Tuesday.

Not sure I'm a fan of the OPKs - felt way more pressure to BD which didn't help at all. So worried we may have fluffed if this cycle.

@Wowthisisreal I used the CB OPKs as well and would love to know the answer, the whole process of my first fertile window has been me obsessing over OPKs I think next cycle I'm going to just go by EWCM.

@sunflowersaremyfav93 the only consolation is that EWCM and app all seemed to correlate with the OPK but honestly looking online every article says different as to when is the best time to BD. from what I can understand doing to before is good but doing it as soon as you get the OPK is best. And doing it once a day is optimum at that point? 🤣 once I got the OV pains I figured it was too late and would hope that the two times Bd would be enough? We did think about doing it 2/3 times just to be sure yesterday but then didn't know about decline in quality etc.

Would love to know if that's right. Its a lot more difficult for #2 - far less opportunities to BD.
