Anyone want to join me in being thoroughly distracted for the next 2 weeks?!

I am on CD19. I have a 28 day cycle and no idea when I ovulated but had EWCM really early this cycle (CD11-14).
AF due on the 13th.

We have been taking the 'relaxed approach' for the past 3-4 months. If it doesn't happen this month, going to take a break next cycle to avoid a Christmas baby (anyone else thinking of this?!) and then get properly tracking with OPKs, maybe temping etc.

@TheWhalesOnTheBus congratulations 🎉

I tested again this morning and another bfn 👎🏼, used a Tesco test as ran out of cheapies 🙈

Mysleepingangel · 10/03/2021 10:47

I've only got the early clear blue tests. Should I use fmu?

I'm 11dpo tomorrow and had cramps last night 🙈

Mysleepingangel · 10/03/2021 10:48

@TheWhalesOnTheBus congratulations!

TheWhalesOnTheBus · 10/03/2021 11:03

Thank you everyone.

@Mysleepingangel How sensitive are the clear blue ones? More importantly can you wait? Do you usually have cramps before af?

madeinthe80z · 10/03/2021 11:10

I've just ordered some femometer ovulation test strips, has anyone used these?? We are probably going to use protection next cycle and then start again in May but I am keen to understand when I am ovulating as we haven't managed to get a BFP in 4 goes. I can't have ovulated as early as I though this cycle or I assume AF would have been here by now. I used to have a 10 day liteal phase when I was tracking 2.5 years ago but I've had a baby since then so wonder if that changes anything.

@Mysleepingangel I wouldnt waste a clear blue but then if thats all I had in the house I would be soooo tempted 😂😂 can you get some ICs on order for tomorrow?!

@madeinthe80z yes I use the Femometer opk strips, have found them good to use. If you download their app as well you can take pics of the strips and record on there so you can see them change x

Congrats whales, melissa!! 12dpo tomorrow so testing then. But it’s pretty mcuh taking all my willpower, I’m sitting here accomplishing nothing but ‘not testing’. I’m no good at waiting!!

Kayleaaa · 10/03/2021 13:12

I think I have a super squinter today but it was only an hours hold, didn't bother doing FMU as I thought I was out but then caved earlier. Waiting 4 hours is going to kill me!!

Congrats on the BFP's!!

Mysleepingangel · 10/03/2021 17:12

@TheWhalesOnTheBus the CB says upto 6 days early so sensitive enough?
I don't get cramps this early, just usually the day of af. I've been having cramps on and off though. Maybe it's wind? 😂

@madeinthe80z oh yh I do have some ICs! Are they sensitive enough though? And should I do fmu with those?

timeisnotaline · 10/03/2021 20:06

I’m out, nothing at all on an frer at 12dpo. I’ll wait for AF but assume month one did not do the trick.

Bellesjp · 11/03/2021 08:35

Well another bfn this morn 14dpo and can feel af on the way so looks like I’m out ☹️

Applecrumble24 · 11/03/2021 08:48

I'm out too 😔

Mysleepingangel · 11/03/2021 13:44

Sorry about your af arriving guys. But I always try to think about the positive:

There are many who wish for regular af! It's a hidden blessing in a way.

Onwards and upwards!

madeinthe80z · 11/03/2021 16:35

Sorry everyone who has got AF. Mine is HOURS away, I can feel it!

Have you tested yet @Mysleepingangel or are you being good?!

OP posts:
madeinthe80z · 11/03/2021 16:35

@kayleaaa did you test again?!

OP posts:
Mysleepingangel · 11/03/2021 17:13

@madeinthe80z I just did one an hour ago.. in denail still.

Kayleaaa · 12/03/2021 07:16

@madeinthe80z yep another bfn 😂

Had spotting last night, which has never ever happened! AF is so usually so heavy in the first few hours that I run to the loo every hour. But this was more like pink tinged cm? So confused!

Anyone still in??

Mysleepingangel · 12/03/2021 07:36

@Kayleaaa have you done a test, love?

Mysleepingangel · 12/03/2021 07:37

Oh sorry just read that you did @Kayleaaa

Wait a few days and test again

I'm still in, will test soon :)

Kayleaaa · 12/03/2021 08:07

@Mysleepingangel have you had any symptoms? I'm going crazy with waiting 😳

Mysleepingangel · 12/03/2021 08:17

@Kayleaaa yh I had real bad cramps last night and I've been so hungry but nauseous at the same time.

Just did a Clea Blue and its positive 🥺

Bellesjp · 12/03/2021 08:44

Has anyone used the conceive plus vitamins? Thinking of trying them next month but don’t want them to make my cycle longer like pregnacare ones did? Wondered what they’re like? Was gonna get the lube as well as heard good things!
