4dpo any one want to join??

[Jely123]

Hey everyone so this is my third cycle ttc again, I'm so impatient and these cycles can be so lonely sometimes so wondered if any one wanted some company this TWW.

Just abit of back story. Im 22 from Kent. I have a 2yo girl and have had a few chemicals and miscarriages since having my little girl.
I'm also a poas addict so faint lines more then welcome here tooo!! X

Hi everyone, wanted to pop back on if that's okay? On 2nd cycle now CD14 had my peak test today, I took the advice from @Poppet2021 and @Rugratree and did the SMEP. Think I went a little overboard cus we ended up BD almost everyday, ovulation has been "confirmed" for tomorrow on my app.

How's everyone else doing?!

@ChillyBon95 exciting. Goodluck!!
I’m good. On CD4 but this month is intense. Really bad period pains.
Treated myself to a new handbag I had my eye on! Rather than perfume lol

Good luck @ChillyBon95 - no such thing as going overboard! I’m also going to try SMEP this month, it’s CD8 for me today so time to get started 🤣 measuring temps and using opks for the first time as well, time to take this seriously! It took me about five mins to get pregnant with my first but this is our fourth month of trying this time so keen to ramp things up a bit as I turned 35 this month and I know that’s when fertility can start to decline.

Everything crossed for everyone!

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all ok!!

I have a good feeling about this month, hope you all do too.

@ChillyBon95 sounds like you are doing everything you can which is amazing. How do you feel?

@Poppet2021 @PairOfPears Best of luck ladies!

I'm on CD9 and ovulate going by Flo in 5 days time. We DTD last night and will just carry on doing so most nights... I was going to get the Clearblue ovulation kit but may just see what happens this month x

@PairOfPears I never thought it would feel so exhausting trying to BD on certain days but I'm hoping this is our month, I've tried taking temps too but can't say I'm great at remembering to do it on days I'm working haha!

@babyboybluex
Yeah I feel okay thank you, I'm not sure if you mean symptom-wise or mentally but symptoms I've not had any yet only 2 DPO so not expecting any. Mentally I think the opks are wearing me out! Feel a bit exhausted from the fertile week if I'm honest! Going to relax now on the TWW and see what happens!

How are the other ladies doing? X

Hey,

Sorry to jump on the threat I'm just abit confused. My ovulation tests have been coming back like this for the past week. Is this positive or negative? I thought I ovulated around last Sunday/Monday as I've been having thick CM (gross but like snot) and then it was like egg whites so assumed I'd already ovulated as it stopped around Tuesday and then yesterday I had thick creamy CM and today it's been very watery this morning, like so bad it's dribbling down my leg and now it's back to being snot like! We had sex on Monday but that's it. Just wondering if anyone can give any insights! Thank you!

Hi @flowermil I'm not an expert as only been using them a while and moved onto clear blue ones with the smileys (easier for me to figure out ha) but that does look like a stronger line than the test line. It is possible that your body can attempt ovulation and if it doesn't happen, try again, so maybe that's it? Also (and take this with a pinch of salt) I have read on here people saying opks can get lines when someone is pregnant...how true that is I don't know 🤷‍♀️ do you input them into an app at all?

It's all very confusing isn't it! I've only just started using them so I'm abit of a newbie I think. I really don't know what going on, they've been coming up like that since last Saturday. I feel that's abit of a long time for them to be coming up like that but I've no clue! I don't have any other symptoms and I'm trying not to obsess about it all but it's hard. TMI but I'm armpit sweating so much and that isn't like me either but the weather has been nice. 😂 I haven't been putting them into and app or anything, I probably should! I deleted all my tracker apps and everything to make myself not obsess. I do wish I'd kept the others I'd taken though! I only did the love dance with my partner on Monday and I won't be seeing him again until tomorrow so I've no clue 🤣 I wish this wasn't so confusing!

@ChillyBon95 I completely understand about the opks and all the sex getting tiring. I’m doing two lateral flow Covid tests a week as well and it’s just exhausting constantly squinting at lines and trying to remember if I want them to be there or not depending what test I’m doing! And with us both working quite intense full time jobs and having a toddler it’s hard at times to muster a lot of enthusiasm for BD 😅

Hope everyone is keeping well!

I'm on CD13 with ovulation apparently happening tomorrow. We have only DTD on CD8 due to work commitments, a hyper 11-month old and life in general. Do you think if we cover ourselves tonight, tomorrow then CD15 and CD16 it will be enough?

Hey everyone.
All good here. On CD8 today. But going to start from CD10.

@babyboybluex - you should be ok. I’ve read a lot about trying to get pregnant recently. They said it’s more important to dtd in the days running up to ovulation. And maybe the day after. So if you can, do today and next few days and hopefully will cover yourself!

Hope you are enjoying some sunny weather!!

@Poppet2021 Thank you! I'm not going to be overly upset if it doesn't happen but will DTD for the rest of this week and see how we go. It only takes one swimmer

The weather is glorious! Going to work outside shortly I think. Hope you are soaking it all up x

Hope everyone is getting on well! Just wondered if anyone has any insight... CD15 here on my first time using opks. Have been using since CD8 and no sign of a peak yet, is this normal or not?

Pic shows CD12, 13, 14 am, 14 pm and 15 am. Looking at them all together the line is darkening, should I just assume it’s headed in the right direction and peak will be soon?

Just worried as my app suggested I ov’d yesterday and don’t want to miss it!

We’re trying smep so have dtd every other day since CD8.

@PairOfPears
I would go against the opks. Keep dtd the deed until the test line is as dark as or darker than the control line. Maybe test twice a day. As it can go dark in the evening then morning go straight back to a faint line. So if you test twice a day now you can see more of the progress.
Hope that makes sense.

@Poppet2021 thanks that is what I thought but because I’ve never used them before think I needed a voice of reason! Moved to twice a day yesterday so I’ll keep going with that. (For testing not dtd 😅)

How are you getting on?

@PairOfPears
Haven’t done anything this month. On CD11 but lots going on at home. So not sure if we will try... still got time so let seee!
Fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated!

Hey guys would you say this is negative?

@flowermil
I think I can see a vvvvvvv faint line. Not sure. How DPO are you? Test again tomorrow or couple days

@Poppet2021

I'm 9dpo today I think. The line doesn't seem to be visible anymore either but that was after 3 minutes like it said! I'm finding it all so confusing 😔😫

@flowermil
I think 9dpo is early to test. But I’m not an expert. But when I tested early last month. Many said it can be too early.
I’d wait a couple days
Keep us updated

@Poppet2021

I thought so but I also took the test because I had a faint positive on the 21st of May and my ovulation tests have been positive since then so I'm finding it all confusing but I'll wait a few days x

@flowermil that’s a real squinter, not sure if I can see a line or not! Sounds really confusing for you xxx

I'm still baffled, this is my ovulation test today. They've been like this since the 21st and have been darker at times. Took a pregnancy test yesterday which I shown on here but I don't have anymore tests so just trying to wait until Monday! I just wanna know what's going on!

Hey everyone ! Hope we are all well, taking a break from forums really helped me with relaxing and not overthinking too much but I'm back with a test I need a second opinion on! Now I have never ever got any kind of reading on a strip test before even with faint lines on FRER but something in me today just wanted to test so.. could I have opinions on the pics please :) x

Also I had what I thought was a BFP last month but it was a squinter, this month I can definitely see it there straight away when I look.

Well there’s definitely something...! I can’t quite tell if it has colour or not! Were the pics taken in the time frame? How many DPO are you?
