Morning all xx

Sorry to hear about your bitchy sister @Kay00 and yes, killing her with kindness is where I'd go too.

Well according to my calendar & ovulation, I should have come on today & there's nor sight or sound of her, of course it could happen at any point during the day but I usually get quite crampy and there's been nothing over recent days.

I'm too scared to test if I'm honest. 10 years I've been waiting for this. 6 rounds of failed clomid, pcos diagnosis. There has been some very radical changes (new partner and weight loss) but surely it can't be that simple, it's only my second cycle from stopping the pill. Besides all that I don't particularly "feel" pregnant. It's PDs birthday today, we're going away tomorrow. Because of my pcos diagnosis I don't have a clue how long my cycles are, but I regularly check CM and it was very obvious when I ovulated & I get thick SGCM after it. This time i calculated it as a 28 day cycle, something I've never had. Even when I told clomid it was a 34 day cycle, so I'm tempted to wait for day 34 before testing.

@MrsHInch eep! Might be good to test before you go away?

@Charliecircle11 sounds like your body is gearing up to ovulate so, if everything works to plan, you could ovulate in next few days (remember, ovulation doesn't always happen when you get a LH spike/solid smiley).

So if you did ovulate by the end of this week then you would only be about 7DPO on 5th June so a little too early to test. I think you would be perfectly good to have a few drinks, but maybe don't get completely wasted .

@Kay00 thank you. Got another flashy smiley this morning and got the mucus ( TMI sorry!). Will keep DTD over the next few days and try to relax and not worry about it for a couple of weeks. I know that if I did a test and it was positive, I wouldn’t believe it anyway and would retest, so may as well wait!

@Kay00 I did think about this. I just don't want to tempt fait by buying a test. There's been occasions when I've done a test, only to be slapped around the face a few hours later by AF.

I'm thinking if I wait until Friday, then I'll definitely know one way or another.

I just hope that it's not my body playing horrible tricks on me, that would be so cruel!!!

@Charliecircle11 I'd wait until 10 or 11 dpo at the earliest for a test. Some ladies on here have an iron will and only test when AF is late. As for the drunk weekend - I'm on team drink til it's pink (ie positive pregnancy test). Most people do tbh as not everyone is mad like us with the tracking and opks

@MrsHInch oooh I hope this is it for you. I vote test ASAP - if AF shows later this week but it's a CP I'd want to know.

@Juno231 thank you 😊 it’s hard not to become obsessed and it’s only my first month!! Need to calm down a bit. I can feel I am ovulating, going to rely on my gut and keep DTD and hope for the best. I will go and enjoy my hen weekend and obsess over anything 😬

Tested. BFN.

Wasn't first morning wee, but it was so obviously a negative.

Still no sign of AF.

I could have sworn I ovulated, I had a lot of school glue CM in the days following.

Probably typical PCOS ruining it as per.

@MrsHInch boo! Do you temp at all? CM isn't very accurate with PCOS I think :(

CM has been accurate at other times to avoid PG and when I've been figuring out what I'm looking for if that makes any sense.

The whole cycle was pretty much text book, until now!

@MrsHInch avoiding wouldn't work the same though. As in you can get fertile CM only for your body to fail to ovulate (eg the same way you can get positive OPKs with PCOS without ovulation) but if you avoid all fertile CM then you stand a decent chance in avoiding pregnancy. Fingers crossed it still happens!

So going on FF and if I get another high temp 2mo I will be 2DPO. My ovusense also shot up from 36.21 yesterday morning to 36.55 today :) had flashing smileys on CB but on the day I thought I ovulated I worked until 2am so think I missed my peak reading. Fingers crossed for another high temp 2mo x

@moocher90 ooh yey! Fingers crossed you have just ovulated!

@mrshInch sorry for the bfn 😔 I often get multiple LH surges (with fertile CM) before I finally ovulate. If your AF is much later this month (and you continue to get BFNs) then maybe that's what happened to you.

@MrsHInch sorry for the bfn

@Moocher90 hopefully you've ovulated!!

Not been much to report from me the past few days tbh.
Cd11 today. Woke up and I'm bleeding? Very dark almost black though so not sure if it's old blood.

@Kay00 how many days of flashy smiley faces do you normally get? I’ve had my third day of flashy smiley faces today, wondering when my peak is. My husband has hurt his shoulder and is complaining that my peak isn’t coming, he can have a rest then 😜😀

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow oh that's weird! Not sure what that could be - just still a bit of a wonky cycle coming off the pill?

@Moocher90 sounds promising! Did you time BD okay in the end?

9DPO here. RHR and temp are up for the second day in a row but I'm not holding my breath as I'm sure it's due to the jab and not a bfp!

@Juno231
FF confirms ovulation and I will attach my chart for reference
U couldn’t DTD on ovulation day as I got home from work at 02:30am but did it the two days before so hopefully I’m covered

@moocher90 ooh yes, looks like good coverage 👌

@charliecircle11 I don't use the fancy CB ovulation sticks, just the cheapies which are slightly different (CB also measures estrogen I think??), but I understand you can have a good few days of flashing before your solid smiley!

@juno231 sounds good, please keep us updated!

I'm on CD11 and nothing to report here. I'm going camping for the weekend so I'm hoping ovulation doesn't happen then (as I'm sharing a bed with my 10 year old niece so zero hanky panky will be happening 😆).

I ovulated last month on CD18... im hoping that wasn't just a fluke, but a result of the conceive plus ovulation support I have been taken 🤞🤞🤞 if so then I'm hoping to ovulate next week (once I'm back from camping 🙃)!

@Juno231 hope you get your BFP. When are you going to test?! I’m waiting for my thermometer from natural cycles but using the CB ovulation kit at the moment

@Kay00 going to test later on this arvo to see if it changes to a solid. I have the ovulation pain, so going to keep DTD and hoping for the best. Hope the weather clears for your camping, sun has come out today here after what feels like 100 days of rain!!!

Hey all, AF arrived yesterday. I didn't think I was that effected by it but I went on to have a really crappy day so it definitely got in there. Still feeling pretty low today.

We are not dtd enough and I know that but can't seem to balance work, commute and his schedule to have time to do it. :(

G

@CaptainGT we find it a bit easier if it's a quickie before we get out of bed for work in the mornings? Replace a snooze with a snuggle if you so wish. I'm sorry AF showed up though :(

@Kay00 I hope your egg plays ball second cycle in a row!

@Moocher90 lovely chart and coverage looks great! Two super fertile days so you've done well.

@Charliecircle11 I start getting EWCM like 5 days before OD so I imagine I'd have 5 flashing days before I ovulate. I know some ladies get as many as 8? So you don't have anything to worry about but hopefully it changes to a static in the next day or two. Thinking I might test on Saturday at 11dpo? Not holding my breath though.

@Juno231 I’m going to test later on this afternoon to see if it changes to static 🤞 I’ve got the stitch ovulation pain on my left side, so going to listen to my body. Really hard not to put too pressure on myself, husband telling me off googling everything and talking about it 24/7. Need to chill out but so hard not to obsess

@Charliecircle11 I go from empty circle to peak. Have never seen a flashy smiley. So god knows what's going on there.

Have been having a weird few days. Wanted to have a few drinks on Tuesday so I cheapie tested in the evening. It was CD22 and 10 days post static smiley so god knows how many days DPO (if I even ovulated). Don't temp. Stark white after 10 mins so I went out for the evening. I picked up the test when I got back at midnight and it had a faint line! But it looked really odd so I expect one of those 'evap' things people talk about. Clearly an invalid reading as it had been left out so long. Had a sleepless night and tested at 6 am on a cheapie, when I was sure I saw a faint line. So I followed up with an frer on same urine and it was whiter than white. Absolutely nothing.

The lines on the cheapies were absolutely not in my mind. I'll go see if I can find them for a pic. I'll test again tomorrow evening, CD25, but of course it's hard not to obsessively Google. I know in my heart of hearts it's nothing, but that whole batch of cheapies will go in the bin on Friday when that's confirmed. I see now why people say not to test early. Just messes with your head!!

One on left is Tuesday night, but pic taken next morning. One on right is Wednesday morning.

@WhirlingD maybe test on weekend as hopefully by then you either are of you are not. It’s does appear to have some form of line but it could be a dye run as well x I would suspect a free would have picked it up though as they are more sensitive then the cheapie ones.

@whirlingD well I've never had a hint of a line on an IC, let alone two! I'd say it's possible you're only 8 or 9DPO so it could still be super early. Plus I have heard plenty of stories of people getting stringer lines later on in the day rather than with FMU.

Best thing would be to leave it, try to relax tomorrow and test again on Saturday. Easier said than done though!! 🤞🤞🤞
