Anyone TTC May

[FayLiv]

Hi Ladies,

I was hopeful this month but can feel signs of AF creeping up and due in a couple of days..

I'm not too distraught as we only managed it a couple of times in my fertile week so thought it may be the case this month was a no. Now I am so ready to get annoying AF out of the way and get on the May bus!

Is anyone else in the same boat and hoping next month is the one?

I am taking folic and vitamin D at the moment but I'm going to add DHA and co-q10 as well as I've heard v good things.

Good luck to those going for May... it's my birthday in May too and I've asked for a baby 😂

[quote LovelyLion3]@FayLiv I used the CB opk on Monday and it was an empty circle. I haven't done once since then. I figured if I usually get 3 flashing smileys anyway that I'd be okay but now I'm nervous. [/quote]
Have you got some left? If you have ovulation pain I would do one to check. You might just have not built up enough hormone yet. My lines aren't super dark on a cheap opk but I know I am about to ovulate soon as all signs pointing towards it. Our bodies can be strange and complicated sometimes. I would test and go from there! X

@FayLiv Ok i went and did it. I didn't want to as I was so nervous. But this is it. It was a flashing smiley.

I drank grapefruit juice yesterday for the first time as well. I really don't like the taste but drank it anyway.

@LovelyLion3 do you think you're about to ovulate? You may get a solid tomorrow like you predict or maybe slightly later.
I had an empty circle today but have a feeling I will get my first solid smiley tomorrow or perhaps Saturday.
We have a date night tomorrow night so dtd tomorrow evening 😂 and hopefully Saturday morning!
I wouldn't get disheartened I would assume ovulation hasn't happened yet and is due soon! Good luck 🤞 xx

That's slightly darker than my line I would think you're almost there.. go for it!

@FayLiv I have everything crossed 🤞🏼. Cant dtd until tomorrow and really hope it happens this cycle!

@LovelyLion3 I hope so for you too! Best of luck. 🤞 Keep us updated xx

CD4 today- 24 days time till AF is due and I can wee on sticks again 😂

Hi new here. Me and my lovely partner are into cycle 3 it's being a learning cure each month and clair is starting to read her body better and our tracking ovulation has improved doing alot of affarmand meditation between us to keep positive wonderfu journey to be on worh this wonderfull women and really want to give her this dream. Hope everybody gets there wish nice to meet yous all.

Been using the OneStep OPKs and decided I'd get the CB Advanced Digital for this cycle as it is our first cycle trying (came off pill Feb but wanted to just track cycle for a couple months with protection). First CB I used on day 14 and got the solid smiley straight away! We BD a day prior, on peak and the day after, (and again today and tomorrow if we feel up to it). This is the first month I've really noticed the twinges of ovulation too. 1DPO today. Again 1st cycle so trying not to get hopes up this early on!
🤞 to all

I think I'm out for May, I'm due to ov next Sunday and I'm away Friday and Saturday night through to Sunday evening with work so won't be able to BD.

I had my first strong positive on an opk and a smiley face on clear blue Friday and yesterday. Today is an empty circle. We dtd Friday night, Saturday morning and Saturday night. Am I covered or should we do it today even with empty circle? X

If you want to then go for it.

I'm just unsure of whether or not I have ovulated yet. Does ovulation happen during the two detected most fertile days showing a smiley? Or just after even with an empty circle ⭕️

I don't temp so can't be sure but can anyone shed any light? X

Hi everyone,

I hope you don’t mind me jumping into your group. I’m just a bit confused due to conflicting advice on the net when it comes to OPKs.

Some advise the day before the surge as the best time to conceive and some say up to 24-36 hours after. Does anyone know when the best time to DTD is?

Husband and I DTD the day before yesterday and yesterday. I had a positive OPK yesterday. He’s unwell today and not feeling up for another round. Do I still have a chance this month?

Thank you for any advice. It’s super appreciated. And good luck to everyone on the TTC journey.

CD10 and peak ovulation according to CB. I have some ovulation bleeding (which I’ve never had before).

DTD on Friday and just used DC nap time to sneak another one in.

Doubt we’ll be successful this month but somehow have the excitement still.

24-36 hours after the LG surge is when you will likely ovulate. After ovulation the egg only lives approximately 24 hours. Once you get your peak I would continue to BD till 4 days after the peak, this would cover you if you ovulate at the later end and until the egg has died off.

*LH not LG sorry

Thank you much for putting this into language I can understand! You’ve really helped me and I super appreciate it!! Thank you

You are likely to ovulate 24-48 hours after your first sign of a peak and the egg lives up to 24 hours after. So best to bd as much as you can over the 4 days after first peak. Then you are covered if you are a late ovulate in the 24-36 hours and until the egg would die. Unless u know u ovulate soon after your peak. I get very sharp ovulation pains as I ovulate and that's usually around 12-24 hours after I get a peak so I bd leading up to my peak and then for a few days after to be covered.

Hi Ladies I’m
Currently 8dpo and having what feels like period cramps! Has anyone else ever experienced this? Xxx

I'm now officially in my tww and the end of the month can't come soon enough! I'm going to hold off on buying any ic or tests until I am due af. I am going to try and not symptom spot but I know any little twinge is going to have me thinking!!

Good luck to all now in their tww xx

@FayLiv I’m right there with you! Trying to keep busy constantly! Not buying any tests so I can’t be tempted xx

@fayliv ive only got two pg tests in the housr - I'm saving for when I'm 'sure I'm pregnant' 🤣 I'm 4 days from period...minor spotting, minor sore boobs...major symptom spotting 🤣

I have one week left until I'm due on. Not feeling positive
