Hello!

Continuation of our last threadโ€ฆ

All of us TTC and in different cycles and stages of our journey.

Helping eachother through the TWW, through the confusing days of OPK/BBT testing and charts, through all of the symptom spotting, the dreaded arrival of AF and the BFP announcements! ๐Ÿ˜Šโœจ

January was a very lucky month for some who got their BFP and some of us are ready to make February our month!

With giggles and lots of support along the way.

Welcome!

@lakejupiter yes mine are similar to yours Smile

How is everyone today? Happy Sunday Flowers

My OPKs from last cycle also very similar to yours, nice to be in good company!

Had a total fail this morning with my CV Digi, was hoping for confirmation either way after a faint pink line on my FRER yesterday, but unfortunately it was a dud test and displayed the error image. Didn't realise until after I'd got rid of the beaker of FMU (aka liquid gold). So now I wait until tomorrow! Period due tomorrow so in all honesty it's probably better. Got a nice busy day to distract me.

How are you doing @Newbiemg?

Bluets · 06/02/2022 10:53

Eye roll at myself, of course I meant 'CB' not 'CV' haha

Newbiemg · 06/02/2022 11:14

@Bluets oh no! Thatโ€™s a shame but atleast if AF is due tomorrow you should get a clear answer. Everything crossed for you ๐Ÿคžโœจ

Iโ€™m doing ok thanks just waiting for that peak opk now. Last cycle I drove myself a little mad because I ovulated later than usual so I need to try and be more relaxed this time and patient Smile

I have 3 apps lol and 2 of them say Iโ€™m ovulating on Valentineโ€™s Day which is CD15 and the other one is saying the 13th CD14 so we will seeโ€ฆ

Bluets · 06/02/2022 11:21

Relaxing and patience seem to be antithetical to the whole TTC business! I'm sending the vibes through the ether!

Those are some good predicted ovulation days, Saint Valentine approved ๐Ÿ˜„ and I swear all of our phones are going to have much more storage space once we're not taking multiple pictures of sticks and can get rid of an app or two ๐Ÿคฃ

lakejupiter · 06/02/2022 11:36

I totally missed your maybe BFP yesterday @Bluets - how many DPO are you? Hope it develops into a clear BFP - the uncertainty is a killer!! Def do another first response when you can...

Second insemination done! On CD14 and have more medium rare OPKs and flashing smiley today. I also have a bit of EWCM so might ovulate a bit earlier than last month but who knows. My coparent has to travel back to his city this afternoon for work so I'm basically on call to go there and try again as soon as I get my peak. Hoping I manage to stay sane for the next couple of weeks ๐Ÿ˜‚

Bluets · 06/02/2022 11:59

@lakejupiter currently 11dpo. If my cycle is its usual length of 28 days I'll have a 12 day luteal phase. It's my first cycle using OPKs and being clear when I ovulated. Time will tell... but time is moving so slowly and you're right uncertainty is a killer! Pinging back and forth between letting myself believe I could be pregnant to berating myself for being so foolish and it's definitely just an evap line, I probably didn't test correctly etc. Fun!

Hope it all works out for you timing wise! Have you got a strategy in place for staying sane? I'm finding I need constant distractions

Pops100 · 06/02/2022 14:59

Happy Sunday everyone , hope everyone is okay? Hope OPK readings are going well and @Bluets you have a sticky positive which I'm sure you will๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ

Had a busy day today with a spring clean of upstairs which to be fair isn't too bad as we only have a 2 bed and am loving using my new shark!! Felt a bit down yesterday after my bfn however went for a nice long dog walk and now back to being positive ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ xx

Pops100 · 06/02/2022 15:00

Also happy Sunday from my 4 legged kids ๐Ÿค xx

What a lovely pic @Pops100 ๐Ÿ˜

Glad you've had a nice enough weekend and sorry about the BFN.. but we will still be optimistic!
I was out for a long walk today too with the dog was good fun, nice to clear my head

Pickles91 · 06/02/2022 16:45

Iโ€™ll have a proper catch up later but wanted to hop on and say thank you for the birthday wishes and CONGRATS @Bluets!! I can see that line clear as day.

Glad your inseminations are going well @lakejupiter! Almost into that dreaded TWW.

Sorry about the BFN @Pops100. Your pups look like the perfect โ€˜pick me upsโ€™! I really need to do a spring clean too, but cba.

Iโ€™m due to ovulate on the 15th, so weโ€™ll be TWW buddies again @Newbiemg!

Oh look at them @Pops100 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
SMD16 · 06/02/2022 17:29

Catching up too, had a weekend of cleaning.. fun!

@Pops100 sorry about the BFN ๐Ÿ˜ข sending lots of luck for your next cycle!

@Bluets ah how frustrating about the dud test! But at least you'll be further along post ovulation so will be a good test tomorrow!

@lakejupiter glad the inseminations are going well! Are you and co parent far from one another?

@Newbiemg it's looking likely to be 13th/ 14th for you then! Mine was earlier than my apps said last month but hopefully you hit your peak soon!

@RMS0209 love a dog walk! What doggo have you got?

Lyra's just had her Sunday dinner, check out her gravy beard! She deserved it after being shut out the bedroom a few times this weekend so we could BD ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Pickles91 @SMD16 @RMS0209
Thank you loveliesThey are so used to having to pose for photos now ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ dog walks are magic aren't they for clearing a busy mind.

@SMD16 aww she's so lush. Hahaha that's so funny and I know exactly what you mean, nothing more distracting than seeing there little eyes pop up wondering why mum is making a funny noise ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

due af Tuesday and still no sign so gonna give it another go Tuesday... well thats if af is a no show and then I will just buy a fresh pack of tests for next cycle, I can't leave one by itself after all ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ.

SMD16 · 06/02/2022 18:35

@Pops100 oh no she doesn't spy on us... she barks at us! Even if someone's doing the deed on TV she barks ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚!! Yes you most definitely can't leave a lonely test and fingers crossed AF stays away x

Cookiedough123 · 06/02/2022 19:48

OMG. I think I have a vvvvvvv faint line on a easy@home stick. I'm not getting too excited yet I'm going to do it again tomorrow morning before I get my hopes up.

Newbiemg · 06/02/2022 20:18

Good evening everyone!

@Bluets excited for you! โœจ

@lakejupiter glad the inseminations are on the go and going well Smile

@Pops100 @SMD16 aww such cute pups! ๐Ÿถ

@Pickles91 yay to being tww buddies! ๐Ÿ˜Š

@Cookiedough123 Keeping everything crossed for you and sending baby dust! ๐Ÿคžโœจ

Iโ€™ve just done an OPK and it looks really dark for only CD7. Itโ€™s not positive but itโ€™s a dark one for this early for me. It looks like my CD14 one last cycle. Premom scored it as 0.55 (my CD14 last time was 0.57).

I guess this is a good sign that I may ovulate a little earlier which will be better if my cycle is short again I think? x

OP posts:
Newbiemg · 06/02/2022 20:22

This is the same test in both photos but with and without camera flash. Does this look quite dark for CD7?

Wondering if my cycles have just decided to become shorter now lol

I really thought I had regular cycles but since ttc Iโ€™m starting to think theyโ€™re actually all over the place. Each cycle Iโ€™m like okkkkk then new curve ball ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Newbiemg that's darker than the one I've had today!

@SMD16 what cycle day are you?

OP posts:
SMD16 · 06/02/2022 22:19

@Newbiemg CD11. Last month ovulation was CD13 and AF came CD26. I have all the same symptoms as I did last month before OVU and my god are my nipples sensitive ๐Ÿ˜‚ honestly any other time of the month I can barely feel any touch on them but right now a feather would cripple me haha

Newbiemg · 06/02/2022 22:25

@SMD16 Im hoping for an earlier ovulation incase my cycle is short again but I also donโ€™t want it to be too early because then my egg wonโ€™t be mature enough. I would just like it to be bang in the middle around CD13/14 same as you ๐Ÿคž

๐Ÿ˜‚ my nipples get like that too. All these weird feelings and pains the joys of ttc lol

OP posts:
SMD16 · 06/02/2022 22:30

@Newbiemg it's so strange isn't it. My partners always found it fascinating that he can't just play with them and it excite me... I just don't feel them ๐Ÿ˜‚ sorry probs TMI but feels easy to talk on here!
