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 all, first time on this thread Apologies i haven't read through the whole thread but i'm on my 4th day of positive ovulation tests (clearblue digital) Anyone else experienced this?

From what i've read i'm panicing my body is struggling to ovulate. Will be sods law cos that"s the only bit my body was getting right up til this point!

Hi @Beleeve and welcome. Do you mean your fourth day of a flashing smiley face? I think i usually get about four or five flashing days before a peak!

Hi @MrsRosaline no i use the one that is either an empty circle or a solid smilie. Yesterday was my 4th day of solid smilie, haven't tested yet today. Just hoping it doesn't mean i am struggling to ovulate x

Day 5 of positives now what is going on?!

Hi @Beleeve! Im not sure how that one works but with the four day one (which includes flashing smileys) it says you stop testing once you've got your peak xx

Except for me last month who got the solid smileys then did another fresh clear blue and got a solid smiley again immediately! So 5 days of solid smileys. Not doing CB this month would miss my window with them! Just keep DTD whilst you have the solid smileys X

Crikey I think I've been stopping DTD way too early! 😫

Yeah i'vr had 5 days of solid smilies. I like to test before during and after so i get negative, 2 days of positive and then negative. I can normally pinpoint when exactly i ovulated then. Especially at the moment as i had a mc at 6 weeks followed straight after by a chemical at 4 weeks last month so would have no idea my dates otherwise!

I'm wondering if my chemical or the 2nd jab (which i had last Thurs) could be causing issues x

I don't know why, but I am feeling excited this cycle. Perhaps because it is summer holidays and I am not working so I am not as stressed. I also think that I was expecting to be pregnant and seriously sick by now, so it's lovely to be able to spend this time with DD. Or maybe the massage helped last night 😅

That's great OP! I'm feeling quite positive too! I feel less pressure this month for some reason and been able to bring my reflexology appt forwards so that I'll have it before ovulation! I'm so excited for it! X

I'm a bit anxious after my chemical last month, I've got really bad backache so I'm hoping it goes away by the time it's DTD time again! X

@LittleDoveLove ah sorry to hear you are feeling anxious. It's totally understandable. I don't know what it is with backache and fertility, but I get bad backs very badly during period and also during pregnancy! Must be to do with the hormones. Thinking of you x

Of course @LittleDoveLove that's totally understandable x it sounds like you're coping really well x hope you're not in too much pain xx

Hello all, hope I can join in. CD 11 for me today. So hoping for our rainbow baby x

@LittleDoveLove so sorry, rest and I hope the back pain eases soon x

Hi @MrsCarbs and welcome. I am CD9, so v similar, and TTC #2.

Ah thank you ladies I am
Ok, I have Endo so it's probably that! 🤗 x

Hi everyone , CD14 for me . I usually O around CD19 and I have my second jab scheduled for CD19 (Monday) so hope it doesn’t mess with anything . We’re away this wknd staying in a static caravan with MIL so planning on DTD Friday (CD16) and Monday (CD19) and hope for the best 🙏🏻

Welcome @SaraKitty! We're also away this weekend with the children which might reduce our ability to TTC!

@LittleDoveLove I've managed to bring my reflexology appt forwards to tomo! What can I expect!? X

It's very relaxing @newtolineofduty don't speak to the therapist when you're having it done though as you want to really relax. I almost go to sleep. I think I did fall asleep last time! Will be your feet but they also do part of your ankles and a little up the leg. There is a theory that parts of the feet reflect parts of the body so they can sometimes tell a lot from your feet. Mainly though just relax and enjoy being calm ☺️

Thank you @LittleDoveLove I'm so excited it's unreal! 😂

Hi @SaraKitty it's hard isn't it to plan your life around TTC! You just have to take your moments and hope for the best.

I had my reflexology tonight and oh my god. I never thought I would be able to relax so much but by the time she was on my second foot I was practically falling asleep! Loved it. Will definitely go back. Thank you for recommending it @LittleDoveLove I would never have thought to do it otherwise!

Good luck tonight @newtolineofduty!

@MrsRosaline you are welcome, so glad you enjoyed it 😊 x

So I ended up having acupuncture rather than reflexology! After our consultation the therapist thought acupuncture would be better suited to me/what I'd like. I was SO relaxed it felt like I was dreaming but awake! I've felt very calm since! Long may it continue! X
