Ovulation/TTC continued

[newtolineofduty]

@Aims1991 @CShandy01 @hoola23 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @LittleDoveLove thought I'd best start a new thread before it stops letting us post given we're almost at 1k! 🥰 x

Have I forgotten anyone!? X

@newtolineofduty I'm going to be brutally honest - it's half term next week so I will deffo have my hands full 🤣 and also it's my grandads funeral so that'll be a distraction. Before I know it, it'll be 14dpo and AF will come a knocking. Just hoping that the pregnacare hasn't delayed my periods like I've heard so many other stories about 😩 imagine that - being late for AF and doing a test, and it coming back negative.

Maybe delay testing by a good few days @CShandy01? Aww sorry to hear about your granddads funeral xxx

How is everyone doing? My plans this month have utterly flopped. I am self-employed and it's crunch time with work so have not actually started DTDing yet and today is CD 9 so need to get on it. Finally things calm down today in terms of workload. Relieved the weekend is coming up! Any fun plans?

Morning @plantbasedlondoner !! I'm all good thanks chick. 5dpo here and have a very very poorly DD this morning. So we're having a bit of a duvet day. Glad to hear things have calmed down with work so you can focus on yourself a bit. Being self employed during these times must be incredibly hard! I take my hat off to you 🙂🙂 xx

@plantbasedlondoner doing good, just waiting to hit my peak. A lot of CM but not EWCM so hopefully next few days. OH is said he's ready for it🤣

This is a bit of a random question guys, but even if your CM isn't clear but stretches like egg whites, does that still count as fertile? I'm pretty sure this time round my CM wasn't 100% clear at any point (maybe about 70%) but it still was stretchy. That still classes as fertile CM right?

Just need to vent -

Been shat on, puked on, pissed on by DD who is just over 24 months. She's quite poorly bless her.

DH comes down and laughs. Says I've got a bad night ahead of me. I could have smacked him. I said "oh just me then? Are you off somewhere?!" Honestly, men sometimes just haven't got a bloody clue! 😩😩😩😩

@CShandy01 oh no hun is he not great with the night shifts?! Poor baby x DD has a tummy bug and we've had a bad day with it!

It's interesting as I never paid attention to whether it was clear or not just how stretchy it was! Thinking back though I'd say it was very rarely clear-more of a whitish tinge than clear! X

Hey everyone!! Sorry been so busy haven't had time to check in! Finally finished stage one of the decorating and oh my god, I actually have changed the look of the house!! Honestly, new skirting, clean fresh white doors and touching up wall scuffs just make a house look amazing! So chuffed with myself 🤣🤣

In other news. I've been getting lows since cd6 on clear blue and not even a squinter on my cheap lh strips then this morning I went straight to peak! Now I'm fuming as we still haven't managed any sex this month!! We will start tonight but I'm thinking I've completely missed it this month now. So annoying. Although on a plus side it means I won't obsess in the 2WW (she says🙃)

@CShandy01 so sorry your little one is unwell! Why are men so useless sometimes, I don't get how they don't just think logically sometimes 🤣
I think any cm that is egg white resemble is good!

@newtolineofduty how are we feeling mumma?! Are we past 7 weeks now?!

@CShandy01 I was thinking the same with the colour of it. I don't think I've noticed it to be stretchy. I still don't have my peak but lines are getting darker. Maybe DTD today and tomorrow just Incas the opks aren't picking it up 🤷🏻‍♀️ because I'm noticing a lot of CM

Sorry I clicked send too soon!!

@Aims1991 do you think you'll hear peak in thr next couple days? If so, we will be doing the TWW together!!

@plantbasedlondoner my baby making has also gone out the window this month. I really haven't been thinking about it as I've been so busy! Feel better for it though!

@MrsRosaline how you getting on? X

@hoola23 yeah I'm always 1 or two days after my app predicts. I'm on CD 13 and usually around CD 15. I keep over thinking this month and think I've missed it! Driving myself crazy just now panicking

@Aims1991 I think you've got a great shot this month! I'm going for the next 5 days straight. I normally do every other day from cd6/7 but I'm very late this month! Not much hope!

@hoola23 can you come and do my house?? We moved in a few months ago and I am AWFUL with stuff like that. I've been feeling miserable because none of our lovely family photos are on the walls, but it seems silly to put them up knowing we have to paint .. and we can't afford to pay someone atm!

You are not too late! The peak means you are ABOUT to ovulate, and then when the egg is released you still have time. But I would definitely get some sex in now!!

CD32 for me and I had my first temp rise, so another two days and I think I can be fairly certain I ovulated on CD31 🤞🏻 So strange but I guess my body just needed a bit longer to recover.

@hoola23 so far we have only DTD Cd7 & 9. So defo more needed asap. Fingers crossed for you

@MrsRosaline I absolute hate painting and when we renovated before moving in (full renovation and loft extension!) it was such a rush so I was just so stressed but this time, I took a week off work and really took my time and I quite enjoyed it in the end. Feeling very proud! I'm just the same, I refused to buy anything or put anything up until I had done this but so glad I did, actually feels like a home now! I'd advise taking a week off work, get all your tools ready and pop the radio on and try and enjoy! Taken me a week to just do our hallway 🤣🤣🤣

My clear blue said peak this morn but I did another lh and it isn't quite at peak yet or I've missed that one and it's coming back down but I don't think so. Just going to have sex for the next 5 days and hope for the best!

I'm so so glad your ovulation has sorted itself. I agree, your body knows what it needs and it just needed that few weeks extra to settle down xx

@Aims1991 that's pretty good!! I just did another lh test and it's defo peak! Cd 12 for me which is 3-4 days earlier than I thought! But this is more like how I used to ovulate before the miscarriage. Strange how I got no high days at all this month!

@hoola23 I think for the first time ever I seen some EWCM which seems good. Coz I've never tracked it before. So hopefully peak tomorrow. I done a normal opk which was high so I done a CB and it was just a circle which he is weird. I normally only use that to match my peak

Let the baby making commence for all you ovulaters 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Sent that too soon. I'm quite drunk - playing tipsy mario kart with DH now that DD is finally settled. Turns out you can get a lot worse at mario kart 😂😂

@Aims1991 that is a bit odd about the cb not picking it up. Saying that neither did mine this month! Well no highs! I actually trust the cheap ones for peak more than cb!

@CShandy01 🤣🤣 I'm so crap at those games too🤣🤣🤣

@hoola23 I usually only use cb to see the solid smiley when I get a peak. But yeah I trust the normal opks too.

Morning ladies. How is everyone this weekend? I just got a peak so I'm buzzing😁

@Aims1991 yay! Did you manage to DTD last night? We finally did our first manic baby making season 🤣 lh has got even darker this morning for me so I think ovulation will be tomo or late this eve so I'm not ruling this month out completely yet!
