TTC - Ovulation

[MrsRosaline]

Hi!

I have been TTC this month. I got a flashing smiley face on the clearblue OPKS this morning so all is looking good! I would love to talk to anyone else who is also TTC this month... I am currently driving my husband mad as it's all I can talk about. 😊

Hi! I'm on day 5 of flashing smileys! I am hoping I get a peak tomorrow my cycle is usually only 24-26 days and I'm on cycle day 11 so I would have thought I would ovulate today (my app says today) either I haven't ovulated or it's later then I thought! Hope you get your peak xx

Hi @jkm2793. I am also CD12 today! But I have a later ovulation: usually around CD18. I got another flashing smiley face today. I expect I'll get a peak some point next week then... How long have you been trying for?

Hello 👋 I've just got my peak smiley this morning after 6 flashy ones. First timer using the advanced clear blue sticks 😊

Hi @LittleDoveLove Good news on the peak. I'm still waiting for mine... How long have you been trying?

You're not alone @MrsRosaline -
my poor OH had his ear chewed off about TTC and OPK etc last month but I'm trying to be a little more err relaxed this month (or atleast that's what I'm telling him. 😆)

I haven't used the clear blue OPK, just the cheapie easy@home ones here but they showed a very clear peak on CD15 last month so I assume I ovulated CD16-17.

Trying to cover post peak more this month as think we may have stopped too err early. 🧐

@feliznavidad2 I've not heard of those ones, but good sign that you got a peak reading! I'm pretty sure I ovulate around CD18 so another few days of DTD before I can relax! 😂

@MrsRosaline well this is our first month using the ovulation kit but have been trying a few months it took me 2 years to get pregnant with my first. How long are your cycles? I just my peak comes in the next couple of days although I feel like that would be late x

Hi ladies! Also starting to TTC this month! I've bought a digital clear blue ovulation monitor thingy. My cycles were 26 days but the last couple of months have been 29/30 since taking prenatal vitamins. I'm CD11 rosary and just used the digital OPK for the first time and it says low fertility. I would expect my oestrogen to be higher by now-could it be due to not using my first morning urine? Xx

Today not rosary! Planning to DTD tonight and hope for flashing smiley in the morning! X

@MrsRosaline first month properly - aside from one go three months ago before deciding to wait a bit longer. I have a DS who is 2 conceived first cycle but expecting longer this time x

I would do in morning @newtolineofduty. I could be that or could be your cycle is a bit different to what you thought, my ovulation day was CD17

@jkm2793 my cycles are usually 28-29 days long. It's funny you should mention different cycles with prenatal vitamins @newtolineofduty because I also took seven seas ones and my cycle went to 35 days so I stopped! I'm now just taking folic acid.

Hi @LittleDoveLove my DD is 3. Also first serious cycle for me!

The same happened to my friend @MrsRosaline x I had no idea!

I am pregnacare preconception tablets

I am taking that should be! 😂

Another day of flashing smiley face for me! 😫 How is everyone else getting on?

I'm still on peak, I did my test from other box just to see and it has come up with peak (after coming up with low last night which threw me!) so I think I'm still due to ovulate soon. X

That's so interesting @LittleDoveLove. Could it be because it's too diluted in the evening or something?

I think it might be. It's strange. I haven't had any of the other signs though like the watery fluid I usually get so I am confused! 🤯

I know you can't go off the lines on the test sticks for the digital clear blue but my bloody test machine isn't working for some reason it just has the book symbol and won't read the test sticks but this is the darkest the test line has been since I've been using them? Do you think if my test machine was working this would be a static? I know on the cheapy opks they have to be equal darkness or even darker then the control line but didn't know if the digital sticks were the same? Xx

Not sure if anyone has had a static did there's look like this or was theres darker xx

I didn't notice a theme with mine when I ejected the sticks sometimes they were pale and sometimes dark. I had problem with the 2 day ovulation stick when I tried them for tracking. Are you testing from a cup? I found that way better as the unit seemed temperamental with urine flow

I use the 4 day ones this time as TTC but when I was just tracking my cycle I had that happen to me with two of the 2 fertile day kits

@jkm2793 that happened to me as well. I bought the special advanced one that connects to the phone and it never bloody worked! I had another flashing smiley this morning and this is what the test stick looked like.

Hope no one minds me joining. I'm currently 7DPO TTC baby number 2! I've felt very sick the past two mornings but not going to test till at least 11 DPO I don't think (if I can resist it).
