Hi all
I’m just restarting opks after stopping pill sept and now ready to take ttc seriously. Was going to try no stress approach but realized I’m not sure it’s possible !
I have had regular periods for 4 months of 27-29 day cycles. I believed I was ovulating on day 14 due to increased EWCM ( can’t believe how heavy it was been ?? Anyone else get this ?) this cycle I started OPK as wanted to confirm ovulation as I had a tube removed due to an ectopic 4 3 years ago. I was disappointed to see result on day 14 and 15 as felt I was ovulating, today day 16 looks more promising so I think maybe I ovulate later than I first thought . Is that a bad thing? With a 27-29 day cycle . I have attached my pics of opk and would appreciate any thoughts .

Thank you for reading and letting me share my thoughts !

@MrsJ6921 sorry to hear about seven seas too! Grr.
I currently use the clear blue (purple) ovulation tester and the cheap easy @ homes on the pre mom app to upload
I tried the pink clear blue ovulation this cycle but I'm not having much luck with it but as I say my OPK this morning was still very low.
Hoping it rises asap.

@BLM18 got the snippet, thank you! X
Here is mine from last cycle.

RMS0209 · 13/03/2022 17:35

@BLM18 yeah that was last month, not happy about waiting 18 days for it... trying to stay sane today, will do another one tomorrow hopefully it's darker.
Glad I ended up not doing SMEP this month, I'd be very tired 😂 x

BLM18 · 13/03/2022 17:44

@RMS0209 not easy is it !!

OP posts:
RMS0209 · 13/03/2022 17:45

@BLM18 not at all! I have a reflexology app tomorrow so I am hoping that relaxes me a little bit.
As I said I currently take impryl... hope that doesn't have the same effects as Seven seas!
We will get luck soon ❤️ x

RMS0209 · 14/03/2022 09:23

So sorry I thought I replied to you! Glad all is good with you, I'm in the TWW but I think I didn't dance enough this month so not getting my hopes up to much! X
BLM18 · 20/03/2022 07:58

@RMS0209 oh exciting! You never know. Just try and relax and see! How far in are you

OP posts:
RMS0209 · 20/03/2022 08:36

@BLM18 thanks! I'm currently DPO5.., won't be testing until next Sunday if I make it that far without AF 😄
Are you doing anything different this cycle? X

BLM18 · 20/03/2022 09:14

@RMS0209 I’m not taking prenatal vits as feel they messed my cycle up . Maybe that isn’t the right decision but I guess ppl get pregnant all time without them and things are fine ? Day 12 today so will start OPK today to
See if my ovulation is any earlier this month … not sure will get to dance much as my partner about to start a new job ! So don’t want to put to much pressure on

OP posts:
RMS0209 · 20/03/2022 09:23

@BLM18 that's good, trying something different hopefully it brings you luck!
Eee exciting, keep me updated with your OPK's x

BLM18 · 22/03/2022 17:24

@RMS0209 how are you doing ?
Day 14 for me and I feel like I am ovulating as sore boobs and ewcm and spotting but OPK was negative. So actually wondering if I missed it ?! As normally sore boobs are after ovulation?! Who knows will keep testing . But it seems stopping prenatals have definitely make my cycle return to normal as last cycle has no signs till day 21/22

Hi @BLM18
Thanks for checking in 😁

Sorry for late reply had a day off so was out walking and for a massage - feeling zen!

Nah I wouldn't think so, I had no symptoms this month but my tests were pretty much negative until day 6 then suddenly a peak... keep testing! It'll happen promise. X
I have some new supplements so I hope they help my cycle too.
Keep me updated! X

RMS0209 · 28/03/2022 10:35

@BLM18 how you doing? Smile

BLM18 · 28/03/2022 17:04

@RMS0209 in tww but not hopeful as barely to dance at right time due to partner work. Definitely ovulated earlier so stopping the seven seas had effect for sure .

BLM18 · 28/03/2022 17:04

@RMS0209 how about you

OP posts:
RMS0209 · 28/03/2022 17:21
