@Tropicana1 god don't tell him that..you never know how they'll cope with the pressure 😂 bitter experience here 🤣😭

@Tropicana1 I'm going with CD14 (had about 4-5 days off spotting before AF kicked in) and I guess I haven't been very consistent with testing if I'm honest. Did one a few days ago, yesterday, this morning and just now which is still developing but doesn't seem to be any stronger.

Another dark OPK. Bit annoyed now just tested randomly after getting home from work. Ugh gonna have to make the moves tonight and I'm tired 😴😭

@MrsCristiano we'll both be making moves tonight then 😂 as long as the pressure doesn't get to him haha

@MamaSJ15 ah so theres definitely still time for a peak then, this month mine is CD13 but last month it was CD19! Also you may have missed it if you've not tested daily - when I'm in my fertile week I need to test 2/3 times a day to actually "catch" my peak on a test stick.

@Tropicana1 sounds like too much hassle for me 😂 I'll see how I go haha.
Enjoy your night ladies!

@MamaSJ15 @Tropicana1 I'm gonna upload the OPKs girls let me know

I've sore boobs which happens after ovulation 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ugh we will see what happens

@MrsCristiano wow I can't even get my control line to look that dark!! Hope you've managed to DTD tonight!

@MrsCristiano what app is that you're using?

@MamaSJ15 not so far 👎 I think he used all his energy on Sunday🙄 and on we plod. Easy@home literally the best ovulation sticks. The pregnancy ones are rubbish..probably because they are never positive 😂

@MamaSJ15 it's called premom and it's free!

@MrsCristiano ah, well never mind, you're still in with a good chance!
😂 I've only used those pregnancy tests after my miscarriage so I could know when is stop testing positive, I'd never used them before! I'm not rating the boots ovulation tests though. Although I do think my evening test today was slightly darker than this morning. I'll do another in the morning.
I might try that one, I use Flo at the moment, only really to keep track of when AF is due but that one looks good.

@MamaSJ15 I used clearblue flashy ones at the start and they are pricey! Tried Amazon own ones and they barely had a control line. Someone recommended these and they are so good. And pretty cheap xx

Fuck it I wasn't in the mood anyway. Someone in work literally faked a covid test and it was so badly done it was hilarious. Like really?? I called them out on it🙄

@MrsCristiano @Tropicana1 what do we think of this morning's test? Getting closer?

Haha really? That's shocking! 😂

Would help if I attached!

Okay so tonight's test is barely there, did I miss the peak? How quickly can it happen? So confused!! I've had more CM than normal today and bloating so I'm guessing ovulation feels different now? 🤔

@MamaSJ15 is it like EWCM? It can happen very quickly how often are you testing? I'd say with increased CM it may have happened. Mine was low tonight see attached chart 😅 (love a chart)
But we didn't DTD at the right times at all so I think im out already 🙄

@MamaSJ15 it can happen really quickly - here's one of mine with a really quick peak (both taken on the same day) and fading by the following morning!

Having a long peak this month, still quite high again this morning. Managed to successfully DTD last night so just got to make it happen tonight too 😂

@MrsCristiano yeah I'd say it was ewcm. Didn't last long to be honest. Only testing in the morning and after work/early evening. Will do another in the morning but pretty sure that's it 😂 would that mean ovulation would have been today then?

@Tropicana1 ah that is quick. We DTD Monday and Wednesday, DH didn't feel up to it tonight and to be honest I wasn't feeling it either after a couple of crappy work days.

@MamaSJ15 honestly no idea. For an ovulation test to be positive it's needs to match control. At this stage I'd be relying on other ovulation indicators. I'm sorry I'm literally no help here 😞

I'm with you on the crappy work days literally no time to pee never mind do an ovulation test 😭

@MamaSJ15 they are more expensive but the clearblue advance are good because you get flashing smiley in your fertile week and solid on lh pealing day so less guesswork in the lead up to the surge

I swear DH is frustrating me no end! Last night he didn't want to DTD again and I said "ok well it's our last proper chance this cycle really (ovulation day) but it's up to you" - he literally started snoring, to be fair it was almost 1am but not the point. Anyway today I said "you turned me down for sex again last night, now we're all done for trying this cycle" and he goes "we can do it tonight can't we?" I LITERALLY said the words last night "this is our last proper chance this cycle" and he just looks at me all confused like he didn't know that?! Honestly could kill him. All I ask is for some properly well timed sex for one week and his thought process is still "we can just do it tomorrow" NO WE BLOODY CANT YOU FOOL. I mean we can, but there's way less point at O -1 than actual ovulation day 🤦🏼‍♀️ I give up

Rant over 🤣

Oohhhh that would drive me mad @Tropicana1 !!!

I just got my positive OPK at last, CD19. Fingers crossed DH doesn't pull something similar tonight! 🤣 probably will knowing my luck! He's very fussy when it comes to being tired or hungry, if the slightest pang of tiredness or hunger comes his way then he can't "get in the mood"

@Tropicana1 he probably wasn't listening 🙄🙄😂

@Tropicana1 that is really frustrating. My DH would be similar but we can't do 'timed sex', think we both feel too much pressure 🙈 so it's hit and miss as to whether we actually DTD at the right time to be honest!
