Ttc #1 and cycle 1. Anyone else?

Hello Smile

As title says ttc #1, cycle 1, 30 yo. I got my 1st flashing smiley this morning on the CB test.

Thought it would be nice to hear from other ladies in a similar position.

I’m confused what CD this is for me. I have another full thread on this so won’t rewrite it here but if anyone can help me on that thread (title: my first ever flashing smiley please help) I’d be grateful as I’m very confused. This may be CD10 for me or may be CD5 Confused

How are your new journeys going? Smile

What opks do you all use? Are they from Amazon?

Easy at home I use but the onestep are just as accurate. The one step are just a lot thinner.

@Newbiemg I use the Femometer ones from Amazon, they have an app too which is pretty good. Although I haven't used any others so nothing to compare to

@CrazyCatLady95 thank you Smile

I just realised I’ve got only 5 sticks left of the CB ones so may need to get some more even this cycle.

CrazyCatLady95 · 16/12/2021 17:45

I think I have line eyes/been staring at this stick for too long. Defo BFN right?

@CrazyCatLady95 I’m quite bad at these so I don’t want to give false hope but I think if I look really close I can see something vvvvv faint.

It’s still early though if you are only 9dpo so may still develop more over the next few days.

I can see it around here maybe is that where you can see it?

Sorry not sure why it posted the pic twice

CrazyCatLady95 · 16/12/2021 17:59

@Newbiemg yes that's where I thought so too! But I agree probably still too early, although I could be up to 13dpo I just don't know! Not getting my hopes up though as we could well just have line eyes 🤩 thanks for looking!

@CrazyCatLady95 keep us updated over the next few days. I really hope that’s the start of a bfp!

@Newbiemg thank you me too! Will keep you all updated!

Those tests I dont recommend I was 15dpo before I even got a squint on one of those. If you have a home bargains close to you get some of those cheap Accu news ones... either the 3 strips for 99p or the plastic ones you get 2 for 99p. These were as strong as an FRER for me.

Oh no! Trigger warning TMI about to follow lol

Just went to the toilet and deffo had some clear cm not a large amount and I wouldn’t say ewcm yet as not stretchy but clear and wet. Yesterday it was white creamy so it’s changing.

I tested this morning and had another flashing smiley I thought I was CD11 today when I woke up for some reason but I’m not I’m CD12. Have had some twinges today too.

I didn’t test just now as I didn’t notice the cm until afterwards. How long shall I wait now to take another test this afternoon?

This is not great timing as OH going away was really hoping it would hold off until Sunday/Monday but have a feeling I’m getting my static today or tomorrow now after this.

Anyone else had their static a few days after that type of cm or was it pretty much straight after?

Thanks! Smile

Took another opk just now and still flashing Smile

@Newbiemg I'm not sure really as I've never used the clearblue ones! At least the 'line ones' you can kind of see if things are progressing or not? Do you have any of the line ones you could try?

CrazyCatLady95 · 17/12/2021 17:11

@Newbiemg also I would just dtf as much as you can now. Sperm lasts up to 5 days so even if he goes away there could still be a chance of fertilisation even if you don't ovulate for a few days! Better than missing the boat completely

CrazyCatLady95 · 17/12/2021 17:12

Dtd not dtf 😂

Newbiemg · 17/12/2021 17:16

I’ve just ordered some of line ones. They are coming tomorrow Smile so will use those as well as soon as they arrive.

Yeah have been dtd over the last few days and will Sunday when he’s back so hopefully will be ok!

Lol I guess its both dtd and dtf 😂

@Newbiemg @CrazyCatLady95 😂😂

CrazyCatLady95 · 17/12/2021 22:42

Yeah works both ways haha. I started spotting today so maybe AF due 😞 will wait and see though as I don't have any period pains

CrazyCatLady95 · 18/12/2021 07:51

More spotting this morning, decided to do a CB digital just to be sure and BFN. Looks like I'm out this month! At least I can drink over Christmas eh! I've been getting nausea for the past few days so was getting more convinced it was pregnancy symptoms!

Just got my static smiley. The worst luck. OH is going to come back early in the morning but can’t today so not sure if that will mean I’m out this month but will dtd tomorrow morning as soon as possible and hope for the best Smile

Well you will technically ovulate tomorrow or the day after so your not out. Just get jiggy as soon as he walks through the door.
