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 😁

@Skl2021 Haha! You need to get your other half to hide them from you 🤣 xx

@Confused678866 I'm joining you again. Started spotting so onto the next month 😩 xx

@Skl2021 Oh no! Is it definitely AF though?? How long has this cycle been? Xx

Well it's exactly like last month same day same time started last nite 11 dpo. So guessing it's the same. I'm on cd 29 today so my cycle is way shorter. It's gone from 49 to 38 to 29 🤦😩 was feeling so hopeful. X

@Skl2021 Oh no 😖 could it be implantation bleeding though?? I had it with my first and assumed it was my period. Good news on your cycles getting shorter though xx

@Confused678866 doubt it this is how I usually start so don't want to even think there's hope. Just want to get on with it now and get it over with. Before it depresses me 😩🤦 xx

@Skl2021 Oh it's just rubbish isn't it. Eat some chocolate and drink some wine and then on to the next cycle 💃🏻🤞🏻 I've got a good feeling about it all lately, it's just got to happen soon! 🙌🏻 xx

@Confused678866 yes I was finally feeling hopeful. Ohwell next cycle here we go. What cd are you now? How far behind u am I? X

@Skl2021 I know, it's crap isn't it.. I felt quite hopeful last cycle because of the way I'd been feeling! I'm CD7 now.. so I think we'll end up being the same at some point! 😂 xx

@Confused678866 have u started your opks yet? Won't be long for you 🤞 hoping I ovulate sooner aswell again this month. What cycle u on now? This is my 4th Don't no wether I should try something different 🤦🤣xx

@Skl2021 I haven't used them.. I planned to but now I'm back in the office, I just don't get chance! I might start tomorrow? 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 don't actually know what I'm doing anymore really! Just guessing my way through each cycle 🤣
This is my 5th cycle now 😭😭 part of me just has this feeling that it's going to take a really long time 🤷🏼‍♀️
Haha what do you think you could try different? Xx

@Confused678866 haha how are you so layed back? U might have missed ovulation or u DTD regularly! I dno maybe not doing opks and guessing ovulation but I wouldn't have a clue about dates etc 🙈 try and not get too involved with it and stress free? If I can 🤣 doubt it! Xx

@Skl2021 Haha! I wasn't when I was working from home.. I'd drop little one at nursery and then could use OPK's pretty easily and be consistent with them but it's just so busy in the mornings now. I guess I could use my clear blue one when I get back from work each day 🤔
AF finished 12th, we DTD 14th.. planned to do tonight but OH is at the pub 🙄 so that won't happen. According to ALLL of my apps 🤣 I'm just approaching fertile window so I'm planning on DTD the next few nights hopefully 🤞🏻
I do get a lot of EWCM approaching ovulation so I do go by this too and haven't really had it yet.
Yeah just see what you prefer really.. if OPK's work for you and help to gauge ovulation etc then I'd stick with it! These things just take a while (annoyingly) 😭 xx

@Confused678866 oh my have u not deleted any of them yet?! They all say different things 🤣 yes I get ewcm but for a good few days maybe even a week so wouldn't know when ovulation was within that week 🤔 AHH I don't know it's so stressful why doesn't it just happen like everyone says when your young 😩🤦 I don't have many opks left from this month so may just use them then if I run out I run out 🤪 just need to think positive 🤞 x

@Skl2021 Haha no! I feel like it's a risky gamble of which one to delete 😂😂
Yeah I get it for quite a few days too so it's hard to pinpoint ovulation with that in my opinion unless you DTD literally everyday you have it 🥴
I know! Sex education lessons telling you 'it only takes once' I bloody wish!! It's crazy really.. spend your younger days avoiding it and then now we're literally trying anything 🙈
Haha yes just use them up and then maybe go with the flow 🤞🏻 yes, we need to think positive, it will happen! Xx

@Confused678866 Yes we would have to DTD like every day but could go on for a while 🤣 then I wouldn't know what dpo and I think that would drive me crazy. I really want to give it all in and not even think about it and just go with the flow but I don't think I can 😩 stress if I don't and stress if I do. Need to take a leaf out of your book and relax! Are you trying your opks this weekend? X

@Skl2021 Yeah it's hard to know what to do for the best isn't it! I haven't even used my OPK today.. OH came back at a ridiculous hour this morning so he's good for nothing so probably won't even get to DTD tonight. I think we'll be okay as I'm only CD8 today and I don't think I ovulate this early on.. I've told him he better pull his socks up tomorrow! 😂 xx

@Confused678866 maybe that's the way to go and not use them! Just guess 🤞🤔 hahah he should be jumping at the chance don't all men 🤣 xx

@Skl2021 Haha I just used my clear blue one and no smiley face yet. Oh god he's a right mess today! He better be jumping at the chance tomorrow 😂 xx

@Confused678866 hope the oh has pulled his socks up now 🤣 how u doing? My period is killing me 😩 so heavy and painful. Can't wait to get it over with. Xx

@Skl2021 Haha yes he has! 😂 oh no really? 🙁 my last couple have been like too, they're horrible aren't they! How long does AF usually last for you? Xx

@Confused678866 yes IV had bad periods all my life used to be on the pill when I was younger because of it. Should really get it looked at 🤔 usually around 5 days. I spotted for a couple and now I'm in heavy flow for a couple then usually tails off. But I get really bad thigh pains 😩 of course I googled it and ttc and it comes up with all sorts of problems 🤣🤦 so IL ignore that for now 😂 you should be nearing ovulation arnt you? X

@Skl2021 Oh no really? I wonder if there's anything they could do for painful periods?
I've never been too bad really but I think since having my little one, they seem to be worse but with being on the pill, I never really noticed until the last few months since stopping it.
Yeah I should be soon. I did an OPK Saturday, forgot yesterday 🙄 and I've just done one and they're negative so far. We DTD last night though so hoping to try and do it as much as possible over the next week or so as I'm in my fertile window now 🤞🏻 xx

@Confused678866 yes I'm sure there are things that can be done but I'm hoping I won't need it and get pregnant 🤣🤞 think it doesn't help that I'm obsessing over everything and every symptom when you ttc your much more intune with it. Ohh good luck to you 🤞 are you going with the flow or Every day? I'm thinking about having no pattern this month and trying to do opks the least I can 🤔 see if I can do it 🤣🙈 I say this now but doing it is a different story xx

@Skl2021 I'm sure you won't need anything, it will happen.. but as we're finding out these things can take a while 😭
Erm, just hoping to do it as much as possible over the next week - ideally everyday but I doubt that will happen, we're both exhausted at the moment - our little one is feral at the moment and sleeping is rubbish! I'll just jump on as much as I can 🤣
Yeah just do what's best for you? If you think OPK's help you as you won't stress about DPO etc then just do them.. whatever works for you! Xx
