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. 😊

Haha @MrsRosaline so funny!
@newtolineofduty we are doing every 1.5 days, I think it's a bit pressured and no fun every day but we did do almost every day last month. We're being more relaxed this month as I had about 15 flashing ones last month and the statics 😂

Another flashing today 🙄 I'm on CD12, and last month I got peak at CD15 so I suspect I have some more flashing ones to go... Last month I was quite militant about DTD, this month I'm just going with whenever my husband wants to 🤷🏻‍♀️ ... which so far has been everyday 🤦🏻‍♀️🤪

I meant to start testing today but forgot!!!! Only CD 10 though! Last month I only got one flashing smiley then a static!!!! Hoping for the same this month! How do you manage to DTD on a morning with children @LittleDoveLove !? We have plans the next two nights which will involve late nights so hoping these aren't my days! 🤣 x

newtolineofduty · 02/07/2021 23:16

Has anyone ever ovulated way earlier than they were expecting!? I have a 28 day cycle and consistently seem to ovulate day 14. CD10 today and forgot to test this morning but just had loads of CM which I don't usually get until ovulation!!!! Just DTD just incase! 😂

Has anyone else ever had that happen!? Xx

@newtolineofduty I use OvuSense and last cycle it told me that I ovulated on CD13 which really surprised me as usually it's CD17-18.

Yep me too however I have had a temp dip and other change in cervical mucus so thinking could possibly be soon 🤞

newtolineofduty · 03/07/2021 08:19

Agh low fertility this morning for me-what a waste of DTD last night! 😂

@MrsRosaline do you use ovusense as well as clear blue digital? Do they tend the match up? X

MrsRosaline · 03/07/2021 08:57

Yes. I use OvuSense to track BBT, and type the reading into FF.

You can see that at the same time my temp rose I also had a peak reading so yeah they do match up and I like knowing that two different indicators have tallied up!

I got mine this morning - finally! @LittleDoveLove what time of day do you usually test?

OP posts:
LittleDoveLove · 04/07/2021 13:11

@MrsRosaline when I wake up so about 7am and then about 7pm in the evening x

newtolineofduty · 04/07/2021 13:27

Ooh I didn't know you could test twice a day-I think I thought it might confuse the monitor! X

QueenLagertha · 04/07/2021 14:29

Hi ladies 👋🏽 mind if I join in? TTC number 2. Tries easy@home OPKs last month but didn't get a surge on them. So I'm trying clearblue advanced this month. Just started them this morning cycle day 7.
I woke at 6am and then started to think I should do it then as I knew DS would waken around 7. And I worried it wouldn't be accurate if I didn't do it after my longest sleep. Then I couldn't get back to sleep
Exhausted now today Hmm
I've ordered a thermometer today too.
All this after telling DH I wasn't going to track this month as I think it is stressing me out

LittleDoveLove · 04/07/2021 19:40

@newtolineofduty once you get the flashing smiley it says you can test more than one a day I think x

newtolineofduty · 04/07/2021 19:44

Agh I see xx hope you ladies get lots of action tonight! I'm hoping for my peak before the football weds night! 😂😂😂

LittleDoveLove · 04/07/2021 21:04

Hi @QueenLagertha of course 😊

@newtolineofduty🤞before weds!

newtolineofduty · 04/07/2021 21:42

Welcome @QueenLagertha! How long have you been trying? I agree tracking feels stressful! Deffo puts pressure on to DTD at certain times which I don't find helpful but at the same time I just want to know! Maybe for peace of mind that I've definitely ovulated and being familiar with my cycle!!! Feeling more chilled this month though and hoping it continues!! X

newtolineofduty · 05/07/2021 07:43

Think I've messed up this month ladies! Straight to peak fertility this morning!!!! No high days and haven't DTD since Friday due to weekend plans!!! Couldn't do it this morning as DD awake so means there's no fresh sperm waiting 'up there' 😭 x will DTD tonight and tomo hopefully but that's not as good as sperm waiting is it! I was expecting high today and peak tomo 😭😭😭 x

QueenLagertha · 05/07/2021 08:06

Hi @newtolineofduty you might still be ok DTD tonight 🤞🏼 get on it as soon as DD is in bed.

I've been trying on and off since before Christmas ( had covid and was ill etc). This is month three of "properly trying" and tracking.
Trying SMEP also this month. And pre seed.

DS is 3.3 and was conceived first month so I'm quite new to al this. How old is your DD?

I had another negative on digital this morning. But have had EWCM since yesterday evening. Lots of it this morning. I wasn't sure if it def was EWCM yesterday due to using preseed the night before plus (TMI) all the semen Blush. But I'm sure it is today.

Had to do digital at 5am this morning. Do you think it makes a difference doing it at different times?

LittleDoveLove · 06/07/2021 08:28

More Interesting events from my cycle. I've had a solid smiley now since Saturday night. Did another go on a new kit and it's a solid one again this morning. Who knows what's going on with my body 😩

newtolineofduty · 06/07/2021 11:35

@LittleDoveLove I didn't think that the monitor could read another stick after you've had a static? And maybe two handsets in one cycle has confused it? If not maybe you just ovulate for 48 hours rather than 12 and therefore have high levels of LH for a longer period of time?

Sorry @QueenLagertha realised I never replied. I think it's really tricky to just go off CM as you can have it so many days leading up to ovu and afterwards! Have you had a peak yet on the digital? Have you been DTD every day? I got my peak yesterday but EWCM today so hoping to DTD tonight and tomorrow too! DTD yesterday evening too so hopefully caught it! My daughter is 2.5 😍

Soo I got my peak on Sunday, and my temp dip on Monday (yesterday). Pretty sure I ovulated yesterday... We only DTD on Sunday night because DH felt sick last night. What do you reckon? Have I messed it up and now out this cycle 🤦🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
newtolineofduty · 06/07/2021 14:52

No @MrsRosaline the lead up to ovulation is more important and if you did it peak day that's great! X

newtolineofduty · 06/07/2021 14:54

@MrsRosaline I've messed up this cycle though! Peaked yesterday and DTD last night and this afternoon but not in the lead up (last time was Friday!) Wish we'd done Sunday night too! Frustrating x did you try and persuade DP in spite of him being ill!? X
