The clearblue opks are very easy to read as it's with smiley faces which I like. I started using them last Friday and got my first positive yesterday and today which is high fertility- I haven't had my peak yet. I'm only testing once per day though so if its low tomorrow I will know I had a short peak.

Hello,

I'm 35 and have been off the pill since last May, thought I stood a good chance this cycle, dtd day 8,11-14. Both on very healthy diets etc.

Not opk-ing but think I ovulate day 14. Lots of symptoms with abdominal pain 5&6dpo, boobs hurting lots every day since 6dpo, mild cramping from 7dpo

Tested this more 11dpo absolutely nothing. I know I'm early but thought possible implantation was 6dpo.

AF due between Fri & Tues. Will test again Sun if no spotting

amyannx · 03/03/2021 10:16

@climbershell good luck, hope you get your bfp. I'm 7dpo today but don't feel confident apart from mild cramps I have no symptoms :( I came off the pill last month had a 32 day cycle this month I ovulated on day 17 or 18 I used opk and got a positive on day 17, just feel like I'm out this month as with my son I had symptoms early but suppose it's different every time but don't feel confident at all, I'm going to test from Friday onwards so if I get bfn I won't feel as bad about af suddenly showing up x

Hi Girls

Hope you dont mind me joining, currently TTC #1 we are currently on Cycle 9!

I have a fairly long cycle 30-35 days. It's quite hard to know when I ovulate so Ive started using CB OPKs this cycle (from today)

Does anyone else have a similar length cycle and know when they ovulate?

I followed my app to a T last month and nothing! Hoping clear blue will help me 😄

Good luck everyone X

amyannx · 03/03/2021 11:12

@Mrsmujic hey! I have a 32 day cycle since stopping the pill and got a positive ovulation test on day 17 of my cycle then on day 18 it was negative so I had a quick surge so glad I managed to catch my positive x

Mrsmujic · 03/03/2021 11:40

@amyannx thank you for your reply. That's interesting to know! I was on the pill for YEARS! always had 28 day cycle on it and since I've been off (march last year) it seems my natural cycle is quite long

How long have you been TTC? X

amyannx · 03/03/2021 11:51

@Mrsmujic I used to have a 28 day cycle to before the pill! I only stopped in January this is my second cycle ttc, although when I stopped the pill in January 2017 I fell pregnancy with my son in April 2017 so didn't take long just don't feel as confident this time around x

JeanieJ · 03/03/2021 11:58

Hoping on!
TTC#1 on Cycle 8 - currently 10DPO - temp is generally low, so not feeling so hopeful for this one

Good luck everyone xxx

amyannx · 03/03/2021 12:53

@JeanieJ hey, hope you get a bfp, I am 7dpo and the whole time I have had temps going up but today one (7dpo) has dipped to 37c but still above the control line so don't know if that's still ok or not

JeanieJ · 03/03/2021 13:04

@amyannx interesting 🤔

Are you always above 37?

I'm above my control which is 36.2 ...
in the first phase of my cycle, I'm like in the high 35s ... I do wonder if being colder means anything? 🤔

Good luck with this cycle xx

amyannx · 03/03/2021 13:09

@JeanieJ I tend to be around 36.5 to 36.8 as a normal temp and I was 36.2 on ovulation day and then went to 37 and plus after ovulation but dropped to 37 today but it's still above the control line so note sure if that's ok or not, here is a pic of my chart

AliceS88 · 03/03/2021 13:54

Hello all, hoping you don't mind me jumping on board.

Currently CD22, approx 11dpo (not sure on this) TTC #2.

Not feeling very positive this month, when I was pregnant with my little boy I had a gut feeling I was pregnant before finding out, so far I do not have as strong a feeling but AF not here so will keep the positive thinking up :)

JeanieJ · 03/03/2021 14:14

@amyannx 🤔 hmmm who knows?
Yours looks steady which is good.
Check out mine, it's like all over the place, but declining now, so pretty sure I haven't conceived this cycle. 😐
Wish i knew what was going on. We've both had all the checks ... it just takes time I suppose 🤷🏻

March 2021 TTC Bus!
amyannx · 03/03/2021 14:30

@JeanieJ yeah it's so hard waiting, but when I fell pregnant with my son my chart decreased and my temp went down so I'm not convinced with them but use it as a guidance, just hoping mine don't dip anymore, I'm going to test early from Friday onwards to prepare me for af if I get bfn x

JeanieJ · 03/03/2021 14:35

@amyannx ah fingers crossed you get a BFP 🤞

I'm waiting for AF to show up on Monday because the testing was making me anxious.

But, I always know it's coming about 4/5 days before as I get horrendous insomnia in the days leading up to it.

Weirdly in this cycle I've been waking up mad early since 6DPO and not getting back to sleep ... I'm putting it down to the change in weather!

amyannx · 03/03/2021 14:40

@JeanieJ I've been struggling staying asleep since about 5dpo but because I have no symptoms I don't feel hopeful this month, hope you get a bfp soon x

Ttc2020no2 · 03/03/2021 17:03

Hi ladies...I just wanted to give you all some hope as I had been lurking on these boards for quite some time.
I just got my bfp and I'm 41 years old. It has taken us a year and an mc but we got there in the end.
I'm still in shock tbh as I didn't even realise I was.
I usually get very sore boobs but I honestly thought my late period was the fact I'm getting older. Looking back now the only major sympton was tiredness. If you would like to know more what I did ttc please post below and I'll explain 🙂 wishing you all so much baby dust and love 💘

amyannx · 03/03/2021 17:07

@Ttc2020no2 congratulations on your bfp xx

AthersB · 03/03/2021 17:08

@Ttc2020no2 Congratulations, that's such lovely news xx

Ttc2020no2 · 03/03/2021 18:05

@amyannx thank you so much hun

@AthersB thank you hunny xxx

Confused678866 · 03/03/2021 18:31

@Ttc2020no2 Congratulations!! That’s amazing news!! Xx

leigha22 · 03/03/2021 18:31

Hiya. Hope you don’t mind me joiningGrin

I finished my pill in January, had a small (what I thought) withdrawal bleed and then 28 days later(start of feb) had a full blown bleed. I then came on 22nd Feb againSad I got abit nervous and rang the GP, they said they think my first proper bleed was in fact the withdrawal bleed and my last bleed was the period so I’m currently CD10. I had ovulation symptoms yesterday and some twinges today so don’t know if I ovulate early? I was trying track with cheap OPKs but I found it so confusing. I’ve decided this month I’m going to let my body do it’s thing and then look to track ovulation with OPKs next month if I don’t get my BFP!

Sending lots of luck to you all x

Ss112 · 03/03/2021 18:32

Hi everyone! Hope someone can help me. I always thought i ovulated a day after I got my LH peak but I did my temp this month and it shows that I ovulate 3 days after my peak which explains why we havent conceived yet. I do think though I ovulate 2 days after rather than 3 but fertility friend reckons its 3 days. What do you guys think?

March 2021 TTC Bus!
Ttc2020no2 · 03/03/2021 18:36

@Confused678866 thank you hun. The month I don't try and it happens lol have you been trying long xx

Lizbb · 03/03/2021 18:58

@Ttc2020no2 congrats hun. Didnyiubdo anything different after the mc. Like vitamins, exercise etc and was your period after the mc light or heavy? Thanks
