Hello!

Continuation of our last thread…

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! 😊✨

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!

@Newbiemg thanks - was a loong while, CD9 today - going to start testing from tomorrow. Think I want to try be a bit more laid back this month, the TWW drove me crazy!
Power has just came on too, woo hoo Netflix in bed tonight haha.
What are you?when you going to start testing?
Do I have any cycle buddy's cycle? X

Congrats on power @RMS0209 - we are cycle twins!

lakejupiter · 02/02/2022 20:35

@Newbiemg it totally depends. Last month I had NOTHING on CB and then went straight to static smiley. Other months have had flashing smiley for a few days. OPKs aren't very high and my cervix is low, and no EWCM, so think I'm not ovulating imminently but maybe will O a couple of days before my app predicts. The flashing smileys for days are a bit of a troll lol.

@Pops100 waiting for the weekend sounds smart. I really regret testing early last month and it was really hard to get an indent on a test and spend ages scrutinising it.

@lakejupiter

Congrats on power *@RMS0209* - we are cycle twins!
So we are! @lakejupiter been a long few days . Hope you are good. Just reading catching up now x
Pickles91 · 02/02/2022 22:52

Woohoo power @RMS0209! Finally! And no AF = even better!!!

I watched that show too @Pops100! I found it quite enjoyable but my partner couldn’t stand it 😂 on to that Korean zombie series that seems to be all over insta. Not my type of show at all…

Great news on the flashing smiley @lakejupiter! Sounds like your insemination plan will work perfectly with that!

Emma543 · 03/02/2022 06:49

Hope the wait is going well for everyone! I’m 12 DPO today and found some light pink blood this morning when I wipe.. 3 days before AF due so think I might be out this month :( best of luck anyone who’s testing soon x

RMS0209 · 03/02/2022 07:42

Morning! Can somebody that uses the easy at home strips and pre mom send testing calendar please? Just so I can see how it progresses and what times to test please Smile

RMS0209 · 03/02/2022 08:28

Ok did some scrolling feel better that @Cookiedough123 had 0.08 one day then went higher! Was 0.08 this morning but going to hold will test later this afternoon and see what's what... I told myself I wouldn't obsess this month.. day 1 in SmileGrin

@RMS0209 I’m CD4 today. I usually start testing the day after AF finishes. This morning it seems like this may be the last day but sometimes it goes for a day and then comes back and tricks me lol

I use Premom but I use the Femometer strips. I’ve had a 0.08 before though and then it jumped up abit to 0.1/0.2

@Emma543 sorry to hear that AF may be arriving Sad

RMS0209 · 03/02/2022 09:39

@Emma543 sorry to hear AF may be coming, must have missed that this morning!

@Newbiemg I'm CD10 today (obv a bit later testing since AF was milking it this month!) just hoping covid and the long bleeding hasn't messed with ovulation this month, just a bit wary. But will hold and test again this afternoon.
Usual the big O of doom from clear blue too just to make things better Grin

Hope AF leaves you tomorrow so you can get to the "fun" bit again x

Emma543 · 03/02/2022 09:41

@Newbiemg AF here in full flow now but I think it must have taken pity on me and came early to put me out my misery lol! Fingers crossed for feb for us xx

I've been that not with it lately that I've just realised I've not done a single test!!!
Cookiedough123 · 03/02/2022 09:54

@RMS0209
Hi I have attached my charts and tests. I honestly thought this time last week my peak was never coming!!

Does anyone test after their peak? I last tested after low numbers on both Saturday and Sunday.

RMS0209 · 03/02/2022 10:02

@Cookiedough123 thank you so much for attaching the tests, just wary since I had a longer AF this month and seeing it that low this morning gave me the fear!

@SMD16 you saying you haven't tested? Forgetfulness or having a break? Haha

@Emma543 sorry to hear AF x

Newbiemg · 03/02/2022 10:09

@RMS0209 Hopefully your ovulation will be ok! 🤞

@Emma543 sorry to hear that but yes baby dust for Feb ✨

@SMD16 How are you feeling/doing? What CD are you on now? Oh no about the tests but it’s early days and maybe a more relaxed approach is needed this cycle with other things going on x

@Cookiedough123 I tested after my peak last cycle to see if it went down and stayed down because my peak wasnt very high. The highest reading I got was 0.91 and that was my peak.

@RMS0209 just completely forgotten about it, I didn't even realise it was Thursday today and now on CD8 😅 just had a lot on my mind. Thank you for the reminder though, done one now.

SMD16 · 03/02/2022 10:17

@Newbiemg I'm okay, had my bloods done Tuesday and got my appointment through at the clinic for 10th so should know more soonish. Just carrying on as normal though as I don't wanna stress out my body worrying. How have you been?

Really hoping we get more BFP's this month ladies, lots of luck for everyone 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

RMS0209 · 03/02/2022 11:02

@SMD16 glad I reminded you 🥰
have a good day x

@SMD16 that’s good that you’ve got things booked in quite soon. I’m ok thanks I just want AF to finish so I can get back to opks and dtd lol.

I hope Feb is our month 🤞✨

@Newbiemg when did AF start?

Original poster
Newbiemg · 03/02/2022 12:28

@SMD16 It started on Monday. I was only 10DPO when it started. I had a weird cycle Im not sure why but I'm now on CD4. Im hoping this cycle goes back to normal 🤞

AF seems to be mostly gone today but sometimes it goes and then comes back for a day lol so I think maybe by the weekend I’ll be able to start back opk testing. My app is saying I’m ovulating on Valentine’s Day Smile

OP posts:
SMD16 · 03/02/2022 12:49

Oooh imagine if it is Valentine's Day @Newbiemg how romantic! Mines currently saying 07th! My AF came 12 DPO x

Original poster
Newbiemg · 03/02/2022 14:17

@SMD16 Valentine’s Day would be cute but my ov days have been different every cycle I’ve tracked them. I had peak CD20, then CD13 and then CD16. My apps predicting CD14 for peak this time so who knows 😂

Oh the 7th is soon! Everything crossed for you 🤞✨
