Would I take this as ovulation?🤞

[Skl2021]

Would you say the 3rd test down was my peak? Seems to be getting lighter top one was today. These were alot brighter irl. The picture of one on its own was the third test down before it dryed. How many more days should I DTD? And when would I class 1dpo? Thanks 😁

@Confused678866 so IV had the one step ones from ebay and first vue cheap poundshop ones 🤔

@Skl2021 Yeah I was using the One step ones too and then I caved and bought the Clear Blue one but that's an expensive habit to get into 😳 xx

@Confused678866 yes just don't want the guessing 🙈 nice easy bold line 🤣 clearblue are the best the smiley is alot easier 👍 still haven't ordered any yet anyhow 🤦

@Skl2021 yeah that's why I switched to clear blue, the line interpretation was stressing me out 😂
Are you goi g to order any or not bother with them this month and just see how you go? X

@Confused678866 probably order some it's handy to know what my cycle is doing and if it's going to be long/short. As it's changing every month atm. Hoping it's earlier than cd 28 tho 🙈🤞

@Skl2021 Yes it's definitely worth it for you especially if you're cycles are differing. You'll have to let me know how you get on. I did a couple of OPK's straight after period but I haven't bothered doing anymore since.. I'm just keeping myself busy, DTD and hope for the best 😂 I'm back working in my office from next week so that will keep my mind occupied 🤞🏻 xx

@Confused678866 how you doing? X

@Skl2021 Hey! Not too bad thanks, you??
Not been using OPK's, been managing to DTD pretty much every other day. Haven't got a clue about anything this cycle to be honest. I'm using 3 different tracking apps which are all telling me very different things from ovulation to expected AF so I'm clueless 😂
How are you getting on? Xx

@Confused678866 yes I'm ok thanks! Started with opk but I'm only cd 13 roughly so not expecting ovulation yet unless my body throws another curve ball 🤣 was cd 28 last month so think IV got a way to go. Haven't DTD as much as last month haven't really got a plan 🤔 last month was every other day but it was too much 🙈 do you get any symptoms for ovulation? So u would have an idea when it is? I have had alot of ewcm since af tho which is unusual 🤔 only usually get it around ovulation x

@Skl2021 How are the OPK's going so far? Haha yeah it's hard going DTD so much 😂 I only have a short cycle though don't I so I don't need to do it as much I guess!
Just go with the flow and see what happens I guess 🤞🏻
I get lots of EWCM around ovulation usually and I have had lots of it again a few days ago and this does match up with an app prediction but I really haven't got a clue. One app says I'm ovulating today and AF is due the 10th April but it's giving me a 26 day cycle when I usually get a 22 day cycle. The other app is telling me I'm 7DPO and AF is due on the 7th April which would give me the correct cycle length.. but honestly, I don't have a clue 🙈😂 xx

@Confused678866 there going ok I bought the femometer ones and used the app they seem darker and easier to read! So we shall see. Omg so maybe your in the tww and nearly time for testing?! How exciting 😄 love a test haha 🤦 im ages away from that 🙈 x

@Skl2021 Oh that's good! I've heard good things about those ones. Haha yeah but I just don't have a clue at all 🤷🏼‍♀️ and I don't know whether I should still be DTD or not 🥴😂
I had the odd stomach cramps and backache yesterday and had it a tiny bit today... this is what happened last cycle, I was having bad period pains for about 5 days before my period came 🙄 nowhere near as bad this time but I do have a feeling that's what might be happening again 🤷🏼‍♀️
Have you had a positive OPK yet? Xx

@Confused678866 keep positive are you going to test? No haven't had a positive yet but I'm only cd 14 so not expecting it yet. Think it could be another 10 days at least x

@Skl2021 Yes I do feel less stressed this month and I think that's because I've just gone with the flow a bit more.. that's not saying I won't use OPK's again next month but I think I needed a less stressful month this month!
I'm not going to test I don't think, I really really want to just try and wait!
How long was your last cycle in the end? Xx

@Confused678866 haha you have more willpower than me 🙈 cycle was 39 days. Ovulation was day 28. Cycle before was 49/50 days so did come down a bit.

@Skl2021 Haha well we will see next week but I'm really hoping to just try and go with the flow a bit more as it's definitely kept me more relaxed and not thinking about it all as much as I was!
Oh that's good news then, glad it shortened. Hopefully it continues that way 🤞🏻
Do you wait until you get peak tests before DTD or do just do it anyway? Xx

@Confused678866 we have DTD a few times up to now but last month we dtd every other day since I finished af right through and everyday around ovulation for about 4 days. IV been trying to not put a routine on it this month I just hope I get a gradual progression on my opks so I know when to DTD more 🤣 they have looked the same everyday up to now but I think it's too early just don't want to miss it. Can't win 🙈 xx

@Skl2021 It's definitely better to try and not have a 'routine' as such isn't it.. more natural so I think it helps things feel pressured too.
Haha I know because then you kick yourself don't you if you think you've missed anything 🤦🏼‍♀️
I remember school days when you were told 'having sex once leads to pregnancy' .... I'm sure it does but it would pretty welcome right now for us all! 😂 xx

@Confused678866 yes just hope I don't miss it at least every other day your covered incase you do miss it. Jusy exhausting tho cant keep up with it for long cycles 🤣 hoping it's soon then it's done and can get testing 🙈 Tww let's go! Haha if only things were that simple. I was terrified it would happen that easy when I was younger. Now we have to go to extreme lengths for it to happen 🤦 x

@Skl2021 It is exhausting!! My cycle is much shorter than yours and I'm shattered so I don't know how you felt DTD every other day 😂
Oh I know, me too! It's crazy now how much we all want it to happen and it no longer seems that easy! Xx

@Confused678866 wth is this?!?!?! Arghhh 🤣🙈😭😩🤪🤦cd 16 ovulation?! Am I seeing things

@Skl2021 Woohoo!!! That looks pretty good to me! 🤩 get DTD!!! 🥳😂 xx

@Confused678866 noo not good it wasn't meant to be this early?! IV not prepared 🤣🙈🤦 why is my body doing this to meeee like 11 days earlier than last month thought i had loads of time 🙄

@Skl2021 🤣🤣 ahh well, no time like the present! Maybe it's your lucky month? 😉🙃 x

@Confused678866 haha we can hope 🤣 better start getting busy then 🙈 have u tested yet? Xx
